When I press the Shift + Command + S keys in Preview or Pages or other applications, it does not present the "Save As" drop down. I can access it with the mouse by clicking on "File" "Save As". It does work with the shortcut key if I log in as a different user.
I have exhausted my research on this including following the instructions given to me by Apple on phone support.
Can you help me?
Thanks

OK. Bin playing :)
On my keyboard MBP US.
If the s key is held down before the shift & command keys it doesn't work..
Hold down the shift & command keys before the s key and it works fine.

It's Fixed!

The problem where the Shift + Command + S did not invoke the "Save As" command in my applications was a nightmare. 2 days of searching, a trip to the Apple Genius, and a phone support from Apple tech did not resolve the issue.
Thanks to hayne and Mac OS X Hints Forums (Command-Shift-s opens Safari - can't reset - The macosxhints Forums.
My issue was resolved when I removed the loginwindow.plist file which apparently controls the applications that load at startup per user account. I had 10 different applications starting. When I removed the file, the new file had no applications listed and my shortcut key combination started working again. I didn't care to narrow it down to which application was causing the problem because I shouldn't be starting all those programs anyway.
Thanks again!
