Number keys are being typed as the symbols.

I can't take off caplock mode, although the caplock is not turned on. Number keys are being typed as the symbols. For example 1 types as the exclamation mark, 2 as the apersand, etc. I tried restarting but now can't log in as I have numbers in my password. Is there a fix to this?
I noticed it in notes, would only allow capital letters and cursor would highlight everything.
Thanks in advance for everyones input

If you are in the habit of eating and/or drinking while using your MBP, your keyboard underneath may be dirty. Or you just may have a hardware problem.
If you have AppleCare or PROCare, call them and/or take the MBP to an Apple Store or AASP.
If no AppleCare, check out the following links for instructions on how to clean your model MBP:

8900 only number keys are working on keyboard and symbols only showing numbers

Hi All
curve 8900 - I turned the handheld off last night and this morning only the number keys are working on keyboard and when I press symbols it only showing numbers. Did i press an unusual key combination? I tried taking battery out and restarting.
Can anyone help me out?
Best

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
You did not state fully, so I cannot know if you did the battery pull properly (with power ON). Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!

I can't shut down or restart, it keeps saying Photos are being imported to the photo library"

Hello
I have a Imac. I can't shut down or restart. It keeps giving me a pop up "Photos are being imported to the photo library". I can't even quit iPhoto.

If you open iPhoto again and it won't shut down normally force quit again and do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

How to list all the datatypes are being used in the database?

Use USER_TAB_COLUMNS or DBA_TAB_COLUMNS to determing various data type but USER_TAB_COLUMNS will show you what type being used by a schema user

"Your options are:
Get a trial account form @mac which will work as an iChat name after the 60 days run out but not be a email account that is valid (And is free)"
Do you mean a trial account from .Mac? (DotMac)
"Get an AIM Screen name and set it to Display what you want as you set it up.
The Screen name can be whatever yu want but you can also set it to display something else as well."
I had thought about this, but it seems other people have already chosen the screen name "pinksharkmark" and virtually every variation of it I can think of. So that isn't an option for me. As for getting it to display something else as well, do you mean that if I were to get an AIM screen name like "CromulentCat" I could somehow log in to iChat under the AIM account "CromulentCat" yet get iChat to represent me to my Buddies as "PinkSharkMark"? Because I have to admit I don't see how that can be done. It appears as if iChat displays to anyone chatting with you precisely the account name you logged in under and nothing else. So if you logged in using a .Mac account, then you are displayed as "[email protected]" while if you logged in under an AIM account, you are displayed as "CromulentCat". But that's it that's all... there is no way to change CromulentCat to PinkSharkMark.
Thanks very much for taking the time to reply, though.

Open Activity monitor in Utilities, go to the CPU tab>All Processes, and note any process that would appear to be related to importing photos, such as iPhoto, and use Force Quit. This may only be a temporary fix, as it may start all over again when you reboot. If that happens, we need to do some more investigating.
Also, close all open Applications, then open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste and hit return, then post the output of this command.

Photos are being imported to the photo library... nothing being importe

I am trying to to upload my photos from iPhone4 (6.1.3) to iMac with Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6, but it's always the message "photos are being imported to the photo library" pop out without any photo being uploaded. (That forced me to force-quit iPhoto even when the phone is detached from iMac.)

Try the Image Capture application that comes with every Mac. It gives you a little more control over the import process.

Firefox add-on "Web Developer Toolbar" is a must have. Information > Display Div & Class details.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60
Another handy Firefox Add-on to add to your tool chest is called "Dust-Me Selectors."
http://www.sitepoint.com/dustmeselectors/
"It extracts all the selectors from all the stylesheets on the page you're viewing, then analyzes that page to see which of those selectors are not used. The data is then stored so that when testing subsequent pages, selectors can be crossed off the list as they're encountered.
You can test pages individually, or spider an entire site, and you'll end up with a profile of which selectors are not used anywhere."

Workflow task details are being retrieved from the server

Hi,
Using an approval workflow. when the task has been assigned to the person he is getting an email but when clicking on the edit this task button ,the pop window with the
"workflow task details are being retrieved from the server"
error is getting. SharePoint site 2007 and Microsoft Outlook is 2010.

I have a similar issue with my version of SharePoint.
SharePoint 2010 Enterprise.
Outlook 2013 with MS Exchange
Document approval workflow.
When you open the document approval email that comes from SharePoint and click on "Open this task" the popup window flashes across "workflow tasks details are being retrieved from the server ".
I've tried the regedit fix and the hive fix and resetting IE that some of the other people have said that works and it doesn't.
When I go the site, and connect the task list to Outlook, I can complete the task that way.
I also created a new approval workflow in SharePoint designer and it behaves the same way.
Anything else I should try?

My eBay pages don't work properly. There are parts missing. The symbols on the My eBay page have gone. The £ paid sign, checkout, feedback, and probably more. I can't list an item as the submit button has disappeared. It all works fine on IE.

There is a constant pop up message of "Photos are being imported to the photo library."

I cannot close my iPhoto or import any new photos. There is a constant pop up message of "Photos are being imported to the photo library." However, I am NOT importing anything to the library. This is very frustrating.
I cannot force quit. I even tried shutting down the computer manually. When my BRAND NEW IMAC starts back up, the same problem persists.
I also tried re-importing photos from my camera and flip camera. My iPhoto will not allow an import because these non existent photos are being imported. HELP PLEASE!

Force Quit iPhoto. It's under the Apple Menu.
Regards
TD

I can't shut down iphoto, it continues to say "photos are being imported to the library"

I tried to download about 70 photos from my camera and it kept saying 1 photo remaining for over 30 minutes so I removed my camera and just figured there was something wrong with the download. Now, when I try to shut down iphoto it continues to say "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete." This has been going on now for 2 hours.

Type Command+Option+Esc and in the Force Quite Applications window select iPhoto and force quit it.

Number keys are being typed as the symbols.
