Any idea what I've done to my iBook?

hello everyone,
this is my first post here, i have visited a few times but never felt the urge to join until now because i fear that i have done something to my laptop, and i'm not sure what it is...so i am turning to you guys here for some answers/advice.
this past weekend i brought my laptop on a vacation with me, just for playing music from itunes with it. at night i would leave the laptop closed without any power cord engaged in it, then in the morning or afternoon, i would open it back up and let it charge when i wanted to listen to music again.
before i go any further i would like to note that i did spill some water (NOT a lot) on the right side of my keyboard and immediately absorbed it with a towel. following, i continued use and the laptop worked fine, until...
yesterday when i arrived home from my short vacation i opened up my laptop and plugged in the charger and also plugged it into the laptop, when i went to use my laptop i noticed that i could type on the keyboard, but only the keys on the left side would register. if i wanted to type a word that had keys on the right side of the keyboard the SECONDARY little corner character on that key would register - rather than the letter. so for example, if i wanted to type a word with the letter "k" in it, really the "2" would register - rather than the "k". -- i did not have "num lock" on, and i also went into my control panel and reset my keyboard and mouse/trackpad settings to their default settings.
this did not work and i ended up restarting my computer about 6-7 times yesterday after pressing a bunch of combinations of option, fn, control, and command keys, and searching the internet. finally, after one of the last restarts the computer started acting normal again for a bit, with the exception of me not being apple to command-Q out of any programs, but only on the left command key, the right command key works/worked fine.
just a few minutes ago the computer started doing the same thing, and i am not sure what happened or is happening to my computer but i would like to know what i have done or is going on before i lose all my information. during this whole keyboard process my mouse/trackpad would respond and work about 75% of the time. whenever i went to click something with the large mouse button below the trackpad, it's as-if i am "right clicking" and i can't escape it.
i would also like to add that the shift key does not work on the left side of the keyboard right now, and when i went to add three songs into itunes earlier today, itunes did not automatically add them in from my download program as it usually does...
so i would just like to know what could be causing all these problems? did i hit some kind of combination of keys that puts me into some alternate keyboard mode? i have spilled water and other drinks on my laptop before and nothing has happened, and it has been either a comparable amount - or more prior to this accident. it was really just a few drops...but i figure it is worth mentioning because the timing of these events falls at such a "convenient" time for these problems to be happening with my laptop.
i am sorry for the long post but i like to give as much information as possible this way all possibilities can be included.
thank you!

Press the F6 key, you are in Num Lock mode.
You may also have other problems associated with the spill.

  • The options to copy/paste/add comment are not appearing when I select a cell, any idea what I have done?

    I was working on a spreadsheet, adding comments (yellow comment area), then I decided to see what these arrows do (< > ) I can see they are used for skipping through the comments. But now when I try to add another comment, the option doesn't appear, as well as when I select a cell, the options to delete, copy, cut, paste, etc. do not appear either...
    Does anyone know what I've done and how to fix it?!

  • I had access to firefox and now can't call it up. When I try to uninstall and reinstall, I still can't access it. Any ideas what I've done? Tnx.

    That about sums it up. Don't recall anything specific that led to this.

    Whats the Model number of your Camera. As you have uploaded the wrong firmware of your Camera. I think you can download the Latest firmware from the European website and upgrade the firmware of your Camera using TFTP tool utility.
    Go to ftp.linksys.com/pub/network... and download TFTP.exe File on your computer. Once done connect your camera to the Computer and provide a Static IP to your computer. 
    Double click the tftp.exe file and click run :
    For Server- Enter the IP Address of the router that you assigned.  By default, the router is 192.168.1.115...
    For Password- Enter the password you assigned the camera. By default, the camera’s password is “admin”.
    For File- Click the triple “…” button and browse for the .bin firmware file...Click Upgrade button to start upgrading.  A progress bar should show up to show the progress.
    Once the Upgrade is done press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your camera, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your camera...

    Just to make sure, try a different set of cables. If the problem persists, have the unit replaced by Apple.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like the iPhone is in a status called Activation Lock. Please use the following article for information on Activation Lock; it includes information on locating your Apple ID.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

    Hi sunnylordz,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you have no service on the iPhone. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. There is one step you did not mention trying that i think is worth trying. 
    If you see No Service in the status bar of your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
    Remove the SIM card. If the SIM card is damaged, worn, or bent, or if it's too big or small for the SIM tray, contact your carrier for a new one. Then reinsert the SIM card.
    Cheers,
    Mario

  • Working in Pages a folder with the Pages icon in a folder appeared on my desktop  I cannot move it delete it do anything to it. Any idea what it might be? Thank you.

    While working in Pages a folder appeared on my desktop with the Pages icon on it. I don't know how it got there. It will not let me move it on the desktop. I will not let me delete it. It will not let me do anything to it. Any idea what I might have done to create this alien?
    Any help greatly appreciated with thanks in advance.

    Restart Finder by pressing option +  command + Esc. Select Finder int he window that pops up and click on the Start/restart button.
    You could also try deleting the com.apple.finder.plist file from Users > your name > Library > Preferences
    Restarting the computer in safe mode , press the Shift key just after you heard the start chime. Keep it pressed until you see the grey apple. See if the folder is gone or can be moved.

  • TS1587 I tried everything, except for reinstalling the SO-DIMM memory modules. Still, my iMac will not wake up. Turning it on you can hear the fan run, but the display stays dark. Any ideas what to do? Thanks Maja

    My iMac won't start up, or wake from sleep.  I've tried everything, except for reinstalling the SO-DIMM memory modules. Still, my iMac will not wake up.  Turning it on, you can hear the fan run, but the display stays dark.  Any ideas what to do?  Thanks!

    Mac doesn't boot
    Can you hear the fans and hard drive and see the white boot screen? Flashing question mark? The circle just runs and nothing happens? Only black screen and nothing else? These can be very helpful to diagnose the source of the problem. [1]
    Flashing question mark [2]: This is usually a sign of a failed hard drive. This indicates that boot up volume can not be found.
    Black screen: This is usually a sign of a failed logic board. There is no single reason for this and this may be caused by failed GPU, screen, CPU or RAM.
    Circle of death/no circle/blue screen: This is usually a sign of a hard drive failure. This may NOT be a dead hard drive, just broken permissions or something
    Gray screen/Apple logo/spinning gear or globe/prohibitory sign/folder with flashing question mark [3]: This could be a sign of faulty hardware but more likely a software issue, i.e. broken permissions, failed software update, etc.
    [edit]
    What to do
    First, hold down the option key (also known as the alt key) just after you've pressed the power button. This should show all the available options to boot from, so if you have Windows installed through Bootcamp or a disk in your SuperDrive, you should be able to see them along with your OS X drive/partition. Select the OS X partition with arrow keys and press enter. Startup key combinations
    If that doesn't help continue doing the steps from below:
    1. SMC reset [4]. Shut down and unplug all cables including power cord for at least 30 seconds and then plug in power cord and keyboard/mouse.
    2. PRAM reset [5]. Hold down option, command, P and R while booting. Start it when you hear the sound and don't let go before it reboots.
    3. Safe boot [6]. Hold down shift while booting to boot into safe mode. If this works, open Disk Utility from Utilities and repair your permissions and verify the disk
    4. Hardware test [7]. Insert the install disk (disk 1 in Mac which shipped with OS X 10.5.4 or earlier, disk 2 if shipped with OS X 10.5.5 or newer) and hold down "D" before the grey boot screen opens. Follow on screen instructions
    5. Boot from install disk. Boot from the disk that came with your Mac. Hold C while booting. Select Disk Utility from top bar and repair permissions and verify the disk. Reboot normally and see if it works now.
    6. Boot from another Mac (Firewire target disk mode). Connect the machines with a Firewire cable. Power on your Mac and press T. Select the other Mac's hard drive. Download the current OS X combo update. Run the combo update installer and select the drive that won't boot as the destination.
    7. "Repair" OS X. Boot from the install disk as in point 5. and reinstall OS X. This should NOT erase any data, just replaces the system files which may have caused your booting problem. Now install the latest combo update for OS X and repair permissions on your drive with Disk Utility.
    7.1. Install OS X into an external hard drive and then boot from it [8] and try to copy your data from the hard drive before proceeding. If you have done a backup recently, you don't have to do this.
    8. Restore OS X from Time Machine backup. Boot from the disk that came with your Mac and choose the Time Machine restore option. This step will lose any changes made since your last backup but the system and your data will be put back to exactly as it was on that date.
    8.1 Reinstall OS X. Boot from the install disk as in point 5. and select Disk Utility again. Now erase the whole hard drive and install OS X again. If you had a Time Machine backup and step 7 worked you don't have to do this.

    I'm as a loss. I don't understand why today's folder "2014-06-06" won't let me add "_Kim" to the end. I do it will all my folders since I download from a couple of cameras.
