Adobe apps stop accepting input from my keyboard(s)

This happens irregularly in Photoshop, Illustrator and the old GoLive CS. I will have a dialog box open and nothing happens when I type into a text field. The only solution is to use the mouse to close windows and quit the program. I have the same preferences on two computers because I copy my documents folder from desktop to laptop when on extended trips.
This happens on all sorts different keyboards (Apple aluminum and Kensington extended for my 2008 Mac Pro, built-in and Logitech keyboard for my 2008 MacBook. I am currently using Leopard, and these are CS2 apps. But the fact is, it's been a problem for years.
It's really annoying. Any suggestions to solve it, aside from upgrading to CS4?

CS and CS2 are not supported in Leopard and will never be supported. If they work thank your lucky stars.
Also CS and CS2 are written for PowerPC Macs and are not native to the new Intel Macs so they must run in Emulation mode (known as Rosetta).
If you really need these apps I suggest you get CS4 which is native to the Intel Chip or move back to your Power PC Mac.

Mac Mini fails to accept input from aluminum keyboard during boot.

This is unbelievable. Support knew nothing of this. I tried ⌥, ⌘-S, ⌘-V, ⌘-⌥-P-R, and nothing. SUpport thought my keyboard was broken and was suggesting I take to the Apple Store. This is utterly mazing that people could be left without any recourse in trying to troubleshoot their Macs if they did not have another keyboard lying around. I wonder what the percentage of users is that have extra non-aluminum keyboards lying around. I suspect not high.

This has been a known issue since the release of the Alu keyboards, and there is absolutely no doubt that Apple do know about it - I'm aware of a number of reports that have been submitted to them on this issue, and there has been a significant level of discussion about it here (and elsewhere). Given the time that has passed since it was first reported, it seems pretty obvious that Apple either can't, or don't intend to, fix the issue since they have had plenty of opportunity to revise either the keyboard or the mini.
That said, this is sadly not the first time an Apple support worker has indicated no knowledge of a commonly known issue when a customer has called. It doesn't indicate anything much more than that either the individual worker was not aware of the problem, or couldn't find mention of it in the standard script. I'm not surprised that you were therefore given the standard fallback of taking the item to an Apple Store, but there is little excuse in the end to these people either not being correctly informed, or sufficiently monitored that cavalier responses to customers are better discouraged.
Boece makes the point that almost any USB keyboard will suffice in the circumstance that you need to modify the boot sequence on your mini, and sad to say that remains the only real fix. The Alu keyboard is an excellent device, but is not fully compatible with a number of Mac systems.

PC as a bluetooth Device and accept input from other devices

I need to set my PC up as a bluetooth device by use of a bluetooth dongle connected to my PC. I need to have a program running on my PC that will detect other bluetooth devices and connect with them, accept input from them. Please help me do this. anyone got code for this? Thank you a gazillion in advance !! :)

There's no way to do is with standard Java as far as i know. You'll have to use JNI to use native libraries.

Inputting from the keyboard

hi everyone, can anyone help me on how to read what the user inputs from the keyboard when running a program in command-line(ms-dos prompt)interface.Does it have something to do with System.in any help would be appreciated.
(Example)
System.out.println("Please enter your name ");
String name = //capture the name in string
System.out.println("Enter your choice");
int choice = //capture what the choice is
System.out.println("your choice is "+ choice);
}

Modified version of example code in working test file.
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.IOException;
//Class
public class KeyBoardInput
//data members declared static
static BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader ( System.in) );
static String buffin;
//main method
public static void main ( String[] args )
    int test = readInt("enter a number");
    System.out.println("you have entered " + test );
//reads strings and converts to integers
public static int readInt( String prompt )
        try
     System.out.println(prompt);
        buffin = buff.readLine();
        buff.close();
     catch (IOException IoE) {}
        return Integer.parseInt ( buffin );
//needs work
public static String readString( String prompt )
     //?? need to work on this one
}

Can anyone explain to me why sometimes my ipad2 locks up and won't respond to any input from the keyboard.

My iPad 2 locks up sometimes and won't respond to any input from the keyboard. Have to reboot in order to fix the problem.

You have 3 choices:
1. Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.
2. Restore from backup using iTunes
3. Restore as new without the backup

Just installed an Epson stylus SX435w. But the usb cable prevents input from my keyboard ?

Just installed an Epson stylus SX435w. But the usb cable prevents input from my keyboard ? When I remove the printer usb, and then remove and re-insert the keyboard usb my keyboard works again. Any thoughts on what is causing the problem?

Keyboards and mice are low power devices. Put your printer on a separate USB port from the keyboard and mouse. If you have to, buy a wall powered USB hub to have multiple USB devices on your Mac.

Java programs don't accept input from German Microsoft keyboard on Mac OS X

Hi everyone,
I use Microsoft's Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 with a German layout and the current IntelliType Pro driver on a Mac (OS X 10.5).
When activating the NEK 4000-specific German keyboard layout supplied with IntelliType Pro for Mac, Java programs cannot recognize keyboard inputs anymore. They can again as soon as I switch back to the standard German keyboard layout provided by Apple with OS X 10.5. However, this layout does not match the characters printed on the NEK 4000.
This phenomon is limited to Java programs running on OS X with the IntelliType Pro's specific German keyboard layout activated. It does not occur with native OS X programs. Therefore, the problem could result from Microsoft's IntelliType Pro driver for OS X, Sun's Java Virtual Machine (in OS X), or Apple Mac OS X.
Could a Sun employee please take a look at this issue?
I am more than willing to provide the respective log files if this was needed.

Apple probably gets it from Sun but still Apple is responsible for it.

MBP won't accept input from keyboard seemingly at random

Recently (the past couple of months) I have been having this weird problem with my 2008 MBP. I will try to input something using the keyboard (type in a URL in the browser, type in my name and password to give my kid extra time on parental controls, type a reply on a message board), and I can't type anything. I hear that little bong, bong at each keypress, like I am doing something wrong, and nothing appears. I will have to close and reopen Firefox (usually works), or just restart my computer.
Has anyone else had this kind of thing happen? It happens so randomly I haven't been able to guess what might be causing it. Thanks.

This is a bit of a wild guess. Try a PRAM reset. It can do no harm.

IPhone 6 Mail App stops fetching mail from own domain ID

The Mail App on iPhone 6 (with latest OS), seems to be fetching all my emails, including two other own domain IDs, except one.
It fetches for a few days then stops. I have to delete the mail account, re-create it on the iPhone, it works fine for some days, then stops again.
Has anyone else faced and solved this problem?

Who is the email provider? Its the default email servers of DreamHost. I am using IMAP4.
Also, the email works fine for a while, so I guess the settings must be OK. Then it STOPS fetching new mails, despite refreshing. But it continues to SEND.
Yes the settings are verified. I have another own domain email ID from them which is working fine on the same iPhone.
Here is the reply from my hosting provider:
I'm very sorry to hear about this issue but unfortunately this is not
something we can address. As you noted if you reset the account is works
fine for a while. There are not changes we are making to our mail servers
that could account for that. I've tested the [email protected]
account myself and confirmed that SMTP, IMAP and POP are all working
fine.
This points to the issue being with the the phone and/or IOS 7/8 and
again that's not something we can help you with. I might suggest you
contact Apple directly so that this can be addresses as a bug and handled
on their end.
I'm very sorry I'm not able to do much in this instance. If you need
anything else or have any further questions please let me know."

Accept input from commandline

Hi,
I have an sql file with multiple accept statements.
I would like to run this script from the DOS commandline, and supply the script with values for the accept statements.
How can I do this? (I do not want to alter the sql-file for this)

I have an sql file with multiple accept statements.
I would like to run this script from the DOS commandline, and supply the script with values for the accept statements.
How can I do this? (I do not want to alter the sql-file for this)Create text file and put one value per line in proper order. For example, you have the following script script.sql :
accept V1 char prompt 'Enter value for V1:'
accept V2 char prompt 'Enter value for V2:'
prompt Your input : &V1 &V2
exitText file values.txt can be the following:
ABC
DEFThen use the following syntax:
sqlplus.exe /nolog @script.sql < values.txt

Accept input from Shell script in sql*plus

Hey! Guys..

Does Device Central accepts input from Flash Catalyst?

I'm a newby, and thinking of buying CS5. But I first want to know if I can check in Device Central if the SWF's and RIA's from Catalyst function properly on all kinds of phones.
Is that possible??
Gr Willem

Flash Catalyst produces content based on Flash Player 10. So only phones that are capable of displaying Flash Player 10 or higher content could run the project in their phone's browser. Currently the Flash Player 10.1 plugin for mobile is in beta. For more information on that visit http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flash_Player_10.1_for_Android
My Android phone has not been upgraded to FroYo, so I can not test this. Given the nature of mobile development and the current weight of the Flex Framework, I would not recommend this as a solution for anything other than initial proof of concepts.
Hope that helps!

In ddition to printing freeszing, now will not accept anything from the keyboard.

Earlier versions of Firefox have lost the ability to allow printing of the UPS website lables and the international labels of the USPS website.
As of this last "upgrade" Firefox has now lost the ability to have an active keyboard when on the UPS website.
In other words, Firefox has become an unacceptable browser for shipping.

Accepting input from user

Can anyone tell me that once a program has prompted a user for input (causing the program to pause), is there a way for the user to enter input and hence restart that program. I know that it can be done in JBuilder simply enough. cheers
p.s. other than from the command line

Hi Joe,
Before you start running (or debugging, profiling, or code-coaching), you need to check a box in the project settings dialog. In the Project Settings dialog, select Runner - Options on the left and then check the "Allow Program Input" check box (at the bottom of the panel).
When you start running (etc), the log window will contain a text field labeled "Input:" where you can enter program input (it's at the bottom of the log window).

My iPhoto suddenly stopped accepting photos from the internet. If it is full, I wasn't notified. I tried to "Export" my stash to an external HD, but the Export box did not ask what I want exported, nor the destination. Do I "Select All" and paste?

?

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff: What version of iPhoto. What version of the Operating System. Details. What were you doing when the problem arose? Did it ever work properly? Step-by-step descriptions of how you got to this issue. If something doesn't work, are there error messages? What happens when you try to do this thing? And what steps have you tried already to solve the issue. With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that a helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.
