My keyboard occasionally goes crazy, not allowing me to type. Also, cursor goes crazy and opens pages and windows at will. Help!

My typing cursor frequently goes crazy, not allowing me to type and jumping from place to place, deleting letters. Suddenly, a line I have typed will be highlighted and deleted at will. Also, mouse cursor moves at will, opening multiple pages in seconds. Help! What could be causing this, and how can I stop it?
I've had my Macbook pro for over a year and it has never done this before. Restarting the computer fixes the problem temporarily.

My first thought was the hard drive and OS has a built in Sudden Motion Sensor whcih will stop the hard drive heads from crashing into the platters when the computer is moved suddenly. This does work most of the time and could cause some of the tings you are seeing.
But then after reading more of your first post it seems your system and drive is doing some very strange things.
It would be best to first take it into an Apple Genius Bar and have it looked at. They can run tests on it and since it is still in the original 1 year warranty this should not cost you anything even if something needs to be replaced.
You can also run the Apple Hardware Test on it your self by connecting it to the Net by Ethernet cable and booting holding down the d key or the Command+d keys. That will boot the computer from the Apple internet servers and load the AHT.
Good Luck.

What do I do if my key board will let me type my password yet will not allow me to type anywhere else. I've tried to hook up my wireless one as well as my one with a cord they are both doing the same thing.

Hi Jenny, it's not quite clear what you're seeing.
Is this at login, then it goes to loading the desktop & such, & then is unresponsive, or what exactly?

I to use iphoto library manager to save corrupted iphoto and each time it saves some and the first time it brings up iphoto, iphone goes into "not responding" mode. Using mac book pro, iphoto 9.5.1, and maverick 10.9.2.

I've had issues with my iPhoto "not responding" and as a result I am attempting to save my photos to an external hard drive using iPhoto library Manager but each time I start the program it saves some, and then when it starts iPhoto, iPhoto then goes into not responding mode. Using mac book pro, iphoto 9.5.1, and maverick 10.9.2. I have completed all of the photo library first aid steps several times, but it makes no difference, iphoto eventually goes to "not responding." Initial issues started with Time Machine back ups stopping because of iphoto. Thanks......

Do you have a back up?
If you're just trying to recover the photos you can do that much more simply:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Originals' or 'Masters'. (varies according to the version of iPhoto)
Your photos are inside - these are the originals as imported from your camera.

When I open iTunes, it will not allow me to preview or download TV shows. The preview and download options are gray and will not let me view them. I have the latest Quicktime so I don't know what's wrong

When I open iTunes, it will not allow me to preview or download TV shows. The preview and download options are gray and will not let me view them. I have tried installing the latest Quicktime but it tells me that I have to do software update and when I do, Quicktime does not appear to need an update. I have no idea what to do

Click on your preference and check the Parental tab for possible restrictions. Open iTunes, then click the iTunes menu, select preferences after the window opens click on the Parental icon, take a look at the content restrictions section.

When i try to download an update the dropdown automatically inserts my apple id which is wrong. It's in gray and will not allow me to type in a correct id. How do I stop / delete the automatic insertion of the id?

When i try to download an update from the appstore the dropdown menju automatically inserts my apple id (which is wrong). It's in gray and will not allow me to type in the correct id. How do i stop the auto insert so that i can enter the correct id?

the original apple id was entered incorrectly. Apple says it must be a email address. My email address is correct but the letter ( t ) somehow got added to the (.com) so that when i try to enter my id it is automaticly loaded with the email address the ends ( .comt ) . According to Apple this is not a "legal" email id. But it appears on my dropdown in gray and i cannot alter it or delete it, thus preventing me from downloading software updates.

When I click on an Icon on my desktop to take me to a site (such as google) I get a message that it could not find the loaction. Then it goes ahead and opens a Firefox window with the site anyway as if the message never happened.

When I click on an Icon on my desktop to take me to a site (such as Google) I get a message that it could not find the location. Then it goes ahead and opens a Firefox window with the site anyway as if the message never happened. Then when I close the window I see that the message is still there. I have to close it separately. Any suggestions? Oh, and this only happens if Firefox is NOT already active. If I have another Firefox window open when I click on the Icon, it just opens as expected. This message appears no matter which site Icon I select. It did not happen before I upgraded to ver 9.0.

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

Set type COMM_PR_UNIT is not allowed for product type

Hello all, I am working in SRM 7.0 and when I try to replicate service master (DNL_CUST_SRVMAS) I have this error:
Set type COMM_PR_UNIT is not allowed for product type
What can I do? I think that is an ABAP problem
Thanks in advance
Rosa Rodríguez

Rosa,
This note is something different and nothing to do with the issue. Can you share how did you resolve the DNL_CUST_SRVMAS issue? We are also getting same error.
Thanks,

Value 'defaultNs:AddBP2Type' is not allowed for attribute 'type'

Hi All,
I created the wsdl for mobile and I tried to send a SOAP request from Altova XMLSpy. However when I geive the wsdl in 'wsdl file location' I receive the following.
File http://127.0.0.1:8080/B1iXcellerator/exec/dummy/com.sap.b1i.vplatform.scenarios.setup/vPac.sap.B1Mobile/001sap0003_sap.B1Mobile.wsdl is not valid.
Invalid XML schema: 'Value 'defaultNs:AddBP2Type' is not allowed for attribute 'type'.'
Error location: wsdl:definitions / wsdl:types / xs:schema / xs:element / @type
Any Idea?
Vangelis

Hi,
it seems that Altove did not cope with defaultNs prefix that is used for marking default namespace.
just look up in your <xs:schema > tag what namespace prefix is used for your namespace - you shall find there something like this
<xs:schema xmlns:ns0="your.namespace.com" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified"
and replace prefix defaultNs with prefix of your namespace (in example above it would be ns0)
There might be several usages of defalutNs iside of WSDL (at least in my case were two) so replace it everywhere using same approach
Best regards, Artem

Storage class not allowed in storage type

Hi All,
I am getting this error while confirming the TO.
It stays Storage class is not allowed in Storage type but how can this be configured in OMM2.
or do we need to define any sequence in OMLY.

Hi
Have u defined your material as Hazardous material? is so, yes, u have to do settings in OMLY.
"Storage class: Classifies hazardous materials with regard to their storage conditions. A check can be carried out to find out whether hazardous materials that belong to a specific storage class may be placed into a particular storage type".

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
