8703 typing random letters, can't use some symbols

For some reason which I cannot determine, my blackberry started randomly typing the letter "r" before or after about a quarter of the letters. These letters have no descernible pattern (ie aren't all located beside "r"). As well, some symbols don't work. For example, using "Shift-N" types 3n.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Anytime random strange behaviors creep 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!

    It sounds like you are talking about the cloning tool?
    Tool looks like this:
    Then when selected you can change the size of the brush and using Alt (windows) and Command (Mac) to select your region you want to copy then start to create you cloned image.
    Hope this helps?

    Hi,
    We changed the iCloud account on the Mac Book and now we can not use some part of iCloud like Documents, etc on the Mac book to sync to iPad.
    It says it is not the principal account.

  • How can I use Greek symbols in a text in Pages? Greek symbols are not in the special character list.

    How can I use Greek symbols in a Pages text? Greek symbols are not included in the special character collection.
    I need to import for example a sigma from Word or Adobe illustrator and then Pages can recognise it. I can not find it from within Pages.

    Special character palette from the edit menu does have sigmas under European ... > Greek ...
    You can do a search at the bottom of the Special Character palette. Double click on the greek capital letter sigma. You will get a lot of sigmas.

  • Macbook Pro's keyboard is typing random letters/symbols- can't figure out- HELP!

    OK, so everything was just fine, worked wonderfully, then I found my little chihuahua puppy walking on the keyboard, she is very tiny, so not heavy at all, & I caught it pretty quick... I DID see she may have had a little bit of wetness on the bottom of a paw, as there was a bit here or there, but it really wasn't much at all, and I was able to soak it all right up with a tissue, it really wasn't enough water, or in a bad enough spot, for me to worry at all about any damage being done- however- while trying to enter text in text edit, I realized that all the keys on my keyboard were either not responding at all, or typing completely random letters/symbols instead of the intended characters-  for example, every time I'd type/press one single letter on the keyboard, one time, instead of that letter, it would type TWO completely different letters, like 'ht' , at the same time- so every "d" would produce "ht" over and over... sometimes it looks like hebrew or russian letters, I don't even know! So I'm pretty darn sure my puppy must have typed some crazy key combo that did, well, who knows what- I've tried looking this up here on these forums, for a couple days now, and thought that I maybe figured it out a couple of times, but nope- no luck. It isn't my language setting, my option key isn't stuck, I'm lost! I saw a couple people who seemed to know what they were talking about, who were trying to help others with similar problems, and they asked the person to enter "asdfg" into text edit, and to post what that produced instead of the "asdfg" so.... I planned on doing that very thing right now, but there seems to have been a new development- as now, when I go into text edit, none of my keys work/respond when hit- except for a few, the following keys in lower case ";" " ' " "/" "[" "]"
    "\" "=" & "-" THEN, when I hit the following keys, here's what they type:
    c= cde3  
    v= frv4
    b= bgt5
    n= hny6
    m= jmu7
    comma= ik8,
    period= lo9.
    Then sometimes, when I hit the 1 or 2 key, the letter "z" starts to type constantly filling up the whole text edit box, like, "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... & so on"
    If anyone has any idea what is really going on here, PLEASE help me out- I love & need this laptop for work, school, etc. and right now, I am no where near an apple store, don't even have good phone reception up here- (on a mountain!) so I'm really hoping that someone can help me figure this out once and for all! THANK YOU for reading this lengthy post, & thanks in advance to anyone who tries to solve this mystery!

    I should point out I was having a very similar issue with no known liquid coming in contact with the machine. The keys that were affected were close together: my e, d, and c keys would consistantly type weird combinations of characters, some of them very out there, stuff like ¥©þ®. An external keyboard would work fine.
    After a few days it just stopped, and the only reason I can think of is that overheating was the problem. I was playing "cookie clicker" a game where you often leave the game running overnight, and I noticed that the fan was often working very hard and that the computer got pretty warm, even when leaving it on a hard surface. So after three days of symptoms I stopped playing that game and a day or two later everything was back to normal. My e, d, and c keys were inconsistant for the first 24 hours (sometimes worked, sometimes didn't), but now they're working working fine.

  • I can't use some software since downloading Mountain Lion. Help?

    I can't use Adobe Flash (vers. 8) anymore because it's a PowerPC applicaiton, and I can't log onto the World Community Grid anymore and, when I tried to reinstall the software, I was told that it "can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer" and that I need to alter my security preferences. I wasn't able to find anything in System Preferences that could help me. Also Spaces has disappeared, and that was an incredibly useful tool for me. Anybody know what I can do? Should I just uninstall Mountian Lion?

    Captfred is pointing out a very good thing, which is the middle tier option of allowing only app store and signed developers. This is a pretty good tool and put there for the ease of security.
    Although I have experienced some apple software that doesn't have a signed security clearance either
    Hence my setting. Keep constant remote backups!
    I had a sneaky suspicion you were referring to Flash.app and not just the player. You will also have to get it on there. They offer a 30 day trial period, and with CS6 things are a lot faster and a lot smoother!
    I highly recommend anyone to upgrade to the latest line if they are coming from an older version. Things are where you expect them to be and improvements have been made to the way it processes and loads!

  • Keyboard problem typing random letters and symbols

    I'm having a keyboard problem, the g key, t key, and 5 key type random letters and symbols.  i just spent $700 a few monoths ago to a genius [at getting my money] for a logic board after spillin somethin on it.  didnt spill anyqthing time.  shoot.  is this goin to be another major expenditure?  downloaded os x 9.4, hoping that might somehow cure it.  yeah right

    Hi Rob,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your running into an issue with the keyboard on your MacBook Pro. The article linked below provides suggestions that will resolve most keyboard issues like the one you described.
    OS X Mavericks: If keys on your keyboard don’t work
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13809
    If other keys don’t work
    You may have accidentally set an option that changes how your keyboard operates.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Dictation & Speech, then click “Text to Speech.” If “Speak selected text when the key is pressed” is selected, deselect it or click Change Key to select another key.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Keyboard. Make sure Slow Keys is turned off. If Slow Keys is on, you must hold down a key longer than usual before it’s recognized.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Mouse & Trackpad. Make sure Mouse Keys is off. If Mouse Keys is on, pressing keys in the numeric keypad moves the pointer instead of entering numbers.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard, then click Input Sources. Select “Show Input menu in menu bar.” Open the Input menu and make sure the correct keyboard layout is selected. To see the keyboard layout, click Keyboard, then choose “Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar.”
    I hope this helps.

  • How can i Use the symbols from the main html page?

    Hello!
    Im trying to find a solution for days!!
    i need to use my symbols from the html page, for example to hide the symbol i want to use: sym.$( "sym1" ).hide(); or to make it draggable (with jquery UI) i wanna use: sym.$( "sym1" ).draggable(); but it doesn't work.
    i know i can do the same from the edgeActions.js file and here is the working code:
          Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "document", "compositionReady", function(sym, e) {
             var ex1 = sym.$( "farmer" );
             //ex1.html( '<input type="text" />' );
             yepnope({
                 both: [
                     "libs/jquery-ui.min.js",
                     "libs/jquery-ui.css",
                 callback: function() {
             ( ex1 ).draggable();
    but the main problem is that it's always include this file as the very last .js, so in case Im trying to use the symbols from the index.html page (For example:  ( ex1 ).draggable();  ) the variables are undefined (because it read the html first)...
    Please Help, Im desperate..
    Thank you very much!!!

    Hi, Eran-
    You will want to use the AdobeEdge.* APIs, which should give you access from external JavaScript into your Edge Animation.  The API document has information on that.  However, you will need to wait until the runtime loads, so you should use the bootstrapping method that is outlined in Josh Hatwich's post on our blog:

    Hope that helps!

  • Can I use Unix symbolic links between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard Mail folders?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I partitioned my iMac HD to have two partitions: Macintosh HD has Mountain Lion; I reinstalled Snow Leopard on Macintosh HD 2. Best part: you can access your user-created files from EITHER disk partition. But not so OS X Mail. I wanted to revert to Snow Leopard, since I don't like the iOS-like Mountain Lion (swipe THIS!), but Mail is a problem since all my Snow Leopard Mail was successfully migrated over to Mountain Lion during upgrade.
    Is there a way to use Unix symbolic links between actual OS X Mail folders in Mountain Lion and OS X Mail in Snow Leopard?
    It seems the (trial) symbolic link created pointed to a blank file.

    It's not a matter of "letting" each maintain its own database, William. By default, I believe, I have no control over what gets written. In fact, if there were a way to set a preference that says, use this index named "spotlightindexSL' only [while in SL], that might solve my problem. Then when booting up in ML, it would just go after the index it last made.
    My guess is that while I am in ML or SL and not the other, there are all sorts of changes to files and the system freaks and says "Oh, now look at what a mess I've made — there are all sorts of files unaccounted for. Now I have to rebuild the whole thing."
    I have 2 had drives in my Mac, both 500GB. One (Working Disk) has no operating system and all my files, and the other drive is partitioned 470/30gb with SL on the 470 and ML in the 30. When I restart in either OS, the auto-start Indexing as if for the very first time, and do both hard drives (in total: 3 partitions of files, not counting the ML Restore partition).
    I know it all uncoventionally — just wanted to see what my $20 new OS will cost me in software upgrades, in particular my $1800 Adobe Design Suite CS4 and a few others.

  • I can't use some .avi files with CS4

    I have 2 computers. One with W7 64 bits and PP CS5 and a laptop with Vista 32bits, so I had to install PP CS4 provided with Adobe CS5-5 production premium.
    I have a problem with CS4 (as it works with my CS5): some.avi files are not read by CS4 as some other (.avi, .mp4, .m2ts) are read! I can install the file on the timeline, but only the sound is read, no pictures!
    I'm not a specialist in computer, neither in Premire Pro, and my english is very bad (Yes, I know, I'm french...) ! Any idea of what to do, please ?
    Thank you so much.

    I agree with Jim. Knowing what is inside those AVI files, that are faulting, will likely tell the tale.
    This article goes into a lot more detail on AVI (and MOV, etc.) as a "wrapper:" http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0
    It is what's inside, that matters. It might be as simple as just installing the proper CODEC, or it might be that the CODEC used, is a delivery-only CODEC, like DivX, Xvid, and some others.
    Good luck, and please let us know a bit more.

  • Can't use some tools in Ps cs6 trial

    I downloaded the Photoshop cs6 trial yesterday, and it worked fine. Today, however, I can't choose colors or draw shapes. I keep getting the message "Could not use [insert tool name] because of program error." What can I do to fix this? Am I allowed to uninstall, re-download, and re-install the trial version if I have already done so (today is only day 2 since I downloaded it)?

    Welcome to the forum.
    With the trail, I would NOT uninstall it.
    As for the issues with some Tools, can you please tell us first, exactly what you are working with? A screen-cap of your GUI, with the Open Image (or New Image) showing, plus the Layers Panel open, would be very useful. Also, including the Options Panel for one of the problem Tools, might give clues.
    Next, let us know exactly what you wish to do, and how you are going about it. The more detail, the better.
    It is probably something simple, and something that is easily handled. If not, then you might also gather the details of your computer, as that info might be useful in the next step.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
