"All Controls" Keyboard Preferences Keeps Turning Off

Every so often the keyboard access setting on my computer switches from "All Controls" (my preferred option) to "Text boxes and lists only."
It doesn't seem to match up with any specific event: logging out, rebooting, shutting down, etc. Just every once in a while it'll change back. Sometimes it'll last two weeks, sometimes it'll just last two hours before it goes back to "Text boxes and lists only."
Anyone else experienced this?
Anyone know how to fix it?

I actually never goes back to the way I want it.
The default option for Full keyboard access is "Text boxes and lists only." I prefer "All controls."
The default option for the dock is to always have it visible. I prefer auto-hide.
So, it'll frequently flip back to the default option, but never switch to the way I prefer it.
Toggling the setting back to how I want it does fix the problem... it's just one of those things that shouldn't happen.

  • Ipad keeps turning off and no sound

    ipad keeps turning off apps and going back to main screen.  the volume is turned up but no sound

    For the apps crashing try this ....Reboot 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.
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Why does my iPod keep turning off by itself

    why does my ipod touch keep turning off by itself?

    Is it running hot? There are thermal limits that will shut it down.
    As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
    You are now in a perfect position to do a
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

  • IPhone 4S latest software keeps turning off

    My iPhone 4S was overheating a week or so ago, I was holding it and it got awfully hot so I put it down and left it for a few hours.
    A day ago, it turned itself off out of nowhere, I turned it back on and when I went to use it, it would keep turning off and on and freezing,
    Finally today it wont turn on, it gets to the start up part (black with white apple logo) and freezes and wont get any further.
    Help?

    Hey,

    I took it to apple and its a problem with the latest software update, it wouldn't even let apple run a diagnostics.. It fried the whole thing lol. Caused from the battery so be sure to check your battery guys :)

  • Why does my ipod nano keep turning off

    Hello

    What do you mean it keeps turning off?
    Perhaps it's an issue with the headphones. Make sure your headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning there is no silver still showing from the headphone's plug.  You should hear a sort of popping/clicking noise when you have fully seated the headphones.  If that isn't the case, make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris.

  • My ipad 2 keeps turning off and on

    So my little brother is playing with my ipad 2 and he keeps playing until the battery is drain to 5%, when I try to charge it, it turns off(or shut down), normally I think it is common 'cause of the drained battery, but when I charge it, the big battery logo with red lines(indicating that there's only few battery power left) showed up( I think it's charging) and without turning it back on, the apple logo showed up, and I think it turn on automatically, but when the moment it turn on, it keeps turning off again...This problem keeps repeating from the big battery logo and turning off again.
    I dont know how this is happening, This is the first time this happened.
    The only reason I'm thinking is, "does my ipad battery or my charger is slow in charging and when it charged a few percent of battery and turn on again it drains the charged battery again?" Any help is appreciated, And sorry for my bad english( english is not my mother language). Thanks in advance..

    Hi GreeD28,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You explained the situation very well, and it sounds like you are seeing this image flash on the screen when charging your iPad:
    If so, you may just need to let your iPad charge for longer before using it, as explained in this article:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    This image means that your device is charging.
    It's important to note that if the battery is extremely low on power, your device may display a black screen for up to two minutes before one of these images appears. Continue charging for at least 30 minutes, or until your device is fully charged.
    If you have charged your iPad and it still shows the screen above or turns off after the Apple logo appears, try these troubleshooting steps next:
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • HT201401 Why does my iPhone 3G keep turning off by itself even when it's not dead?

    My dad had his iPhone 3G and gave it to me when he had an upgrade. He never had the issue of it turning off by itself, but when he gave it to me, all of a sudden it decided to turn off by itself even when it was on like 80% still.
    I took it in to the Apple Store near me and they said that I had too much "stuff" on it, mostly music.
    So, I completely redid my phone. I reset it completely so that it looked like a completely new iPhone. And then downloaded only 12 apps and 195 songs. And, only about 50 pictures. (This is an 8 gig by the way)
    Right now, there's less than 4 gigs on there so far meaning I still have more than half of my phone to fill. They guy at the store said it needs 2 gigs to run.
    SO, it should have started working since theres way less stuff on there now, and more than enough space to run. Why does it keep turning off still though?
    It's so annoying and inconvenient. If anyone could help it would be SO appreciated.
    THANKS!!

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as a new device.  Go through each step in succession until your issue is resolved.

  • IPhone4 keeps turning off itself

    I don't know what trigger this. my iphone4 is previously on iOS 5.0.1 and it keeps turning off itself.
    but when i plug it to the power, the phone turns on, BUT when i pull the plug off it turns itselff off.
    it's like the phone has no power left.
    yesterday i connect my "dead" iphone4 to itunes and enter the recovery mode and restore it to the newest firmware (5.1.1) but still the same problem happened.
    anyone could tell me what should i do ?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  If all of these troubleshooting steps have been done and the issue still occurs it is time to take the device to Apple for evaluation.

  • Server keeps turning off

    My VPS keeps turning off. It happens randomly, sometimes more than once a day, sometimes daily, sometimes weekly. its been happening for a few weeks. Cant see anything in the vps logs, resource use is pretty low most of the time.
    VMware gives the following error:
    *** VMware Server internal monitor error *** vcpu-0:VMM fault: regs=0x2f8c, exc=13, eip=0xc8f8c P

    thank you for your reply, that is what i was worried about
    you are referring to the vmware logs i presume, not my vps logs?
    Will ask hardware owner to have a look (its all linux).
    thanks

  • File Sync Keeps Turning Off

    Hi,
    I'm having two issues that may, or may not be related.
    First - Every time I turn on File Sync in the preferences it keeps turning off. Also, I don't see a CC folder on my HD.
    Second - After setting up Lightroom Mobile my Collections are not syncing, even though I have Sync turned on in LR. Was curious if this is related to the other file sync issue.
    I have the current desktop version of CC and followed the online tutorials in the Help section, but still not able to get File Sync to stay on.
    Am I missing an app or a setting somewhere?
    Thanks!
