, and jump pages. Is there a way to access the keyboard.. to clean?d

Help! it has taken me 1/2 hour to write this. The keys on the right hand side of my computer, will cause the cursor to ,
jump backwards, delete whole lines of text, and wreck havoc with anything I attempt to do. Jump pages, etc. Just moving the cursor via trackpad will open of close webpages, and send e-mails to those not intended.  Maybe, something is gumming up the keyboard. Is there a way to remove cover and clean?
Or is it a heat up problem. I can't keep buying a new computer every five years. Have had Macs since 94'. But, wallet thinner, must go to PC if can't fix this one. I have 5 others upstairs that can't find anyone that can fix.

Hello,
It could be  stuck key. (or keys)
You can try cleaning the keys, here is how you can do that.

Pop the caps off and clean around them.
If that doesn't work then you may require a new keyboard.
Here is how to remove and replace an iBook keyboard.

Should it require a new keyboard, they can be replaced very cheaply.
Remember to get the right one for your iBook (i.e 14" or 12" models differ)

  • Is there any way to access the pages templates that were there six months ago. The one I used for my recipes is not there.

    Is there any way to access the Pages app templetes that were there six months ago? The one I used for my recipes is no longer there.

    What was the name of the recipe template?
    Or was it one you created yourself.
    It helps when you tell us that you upgraded both your OS and Pages, which it appears you have done.
    Possibly even changing your Mac or iOS device. Which is it btw?
    Probably you have a new Pages which has only a fraction of the templates, because it has a fraction of the features.

  • I purchased an IPAD2 for my special needs daughter.  She only currently understands lowercase letters only and gets confused with the uppercase letters.  Is there a way to change the keyboard to display lowercase letters?

    I purchased an IPAD2 for my special needs daughter.  She only currently understands lowercase letters only and gets confused with the uppercase letters.  Is there a way to change the keyboard to display lowercase letters?

    There is no way for the keyboard itself to display only lower case letters. It doesn't display lower case letters at all for that matter.
    When you are using the keyboard - The other issue that you will have is with the shift key. Even with auto caps turned off you can still type capital letters if you tap the shift key and if you double tap it by mistake - it will turn into all capital letters so also turn off Caps Lock in the keyboard settings.
    Other than that, there is no way to ensure that you can type in lower case.
    Maybe an external bluetooth keyboard would be a better solution but I don't use one, and I have never even seen one in person so someone else will have to verify that for you.

  • I cleaned my wireless keyboard with a cloth that had a few sprays of windex on it, wiping back and forth and up and down on the keys. Now, various keys are not working. Is there a way to "reset" the keyboard to restore the keys?

    I cleaned my wireless keyboard with a cloth that had a few sprays of windex on it, wiping back and forth and up and down on the keys. Now, various keys are not working. Is there a way to "reset" the keyboard to restore the keys?

    Thanks for replying (thorvsphoenix)
    The windex was sprayed on the cloth, not the keyboard. And only one or two pumps on a hand towel. No liquid seeped between the keys the towel was barely damp. You are saying the ammonia gas created the problem?
    I think It was more an issue of multiple keys being depressed at the same time that screwed up the configuration. That is why I need to "reboot" the keyboard.

  • HT1920 The e-mail address that I used to add songs to my ipod in iTunes no longer exists.  Most of the 2,600 songs were downloaded from CD's.  Is there a way to access the itunes account?

    The e-mail address that I used to add songs to my ipod in iTunes no longer exists.  Most of the 2,600 songs were downloaded from CD's.  Is there a way to access the itunes account?

    Only downloads from iTunes will be tied to that iTunes account, unless you subscribed to iTunes Match and uploaded the other songs from your computer to it. If you can't remember the account's password then you could try seeing if you can get reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com
    If that doesn't work then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    When you've got access to the account you can update the primary email address on it to be one that you still have access to : http://appleid.apple.com
    If you don't have the music that wasn't downloaded from iTunes on a backup then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from your iPod : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Is there a way to access the "Creative Cloud Clipboard" repository outside Adobe Line/Sketch Apps?

    Is there a way to access the "Creative Cloud Clipboard" repository outside Adobe Line/Sketch Apps?
    For instance via (macbookpro) web, local directory (CC desktop), or mobile web? As opposed to Utilizing the feature purely in Adobe line/sketch?
    I mean... I know i could just take screen shots... via the iPad's protocol. However, that would defeat the purpose of creative cloud.
    The point of accessing the creative cloud clipboard, is so that I can create Time-Lapse .GIF's of my drawings, Using the "timeline" feature (undo)....which is amazing feature btw.
    Honestly the solution for me... would be to have an option to export a .GIF (animated), .tiff sequence, or video file (m4a mov). I would say export options would be 1. File Size & Type (Context...) 2. Detail, # of Slides (How long is your timeline, what do you want to show, what level of detail?) 3. Share (Behance, Creative Cloud Files, MMS, iMessage, etc... 4. Open in... Photoshop, Aftereffects etc...
    I think this would be great for..tutorials, multi-media, prototyping (wireframes, character design, etc). So, i'm not saying this should be a heavy set...focal point of the application, after all an animation app all itself would be nice. However, I think a feature like an "interactive timeline" would push users to be even more creative, by hacking, creating ghetto rigged *** backwards ways of prototyping that...actually might be more convenient. This is the story Adobe is trying to tell, the story of process, whats in your head... in the moment. Thats why behance is integrated, because process & feedback + exposure are essential to developing as a creative, so Adobe has put together a great platform...for its users. So, yeah...Adobe.. here's your chance to gain a greater insight into creative process, and integrate it directly into the creative cloud platform. I think it would be huge for Ink & Slide , Behance, and Student-Teacher / Designer- Company relationship.
    "Share | Project Timeline "  "Intervals | # of images"   "Crop | Length (time)"   "Crop | Project Area (artboard?)"
    Yeah this question took a left turn...but hey.... either or.
    EDITS............
    ***You can copy images to creative cloud files....via the share function in ADOBE SKETCH... thats how I made the .gifs im going to attach.***
    ***However, in ADOBE LINE, if you try to copy multiple images of the same project, they do not receive unique filenames, thus replacing all images in the saved sequence****

    First, to answer your initial question - no there is no way to access the clipboard content outside of the apps at this time.
    The idea of exporting a timelapse is very interesting, and something we have been thinking about, but there are already some decent ways to do this. Check out this video of a drawing in Line created by Brian Yap Adobe Ink and Adobe Line Illustration - YouTube
    You can create this kind of video using several of the available apps that let you display your iPad screen on your computer using Airple. Some examples are Reflector http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/ and AirServer http://www.airserver.com/

  • Is there any way to access the superclass' superclass' constructor?

    Hi,
    Is there any way to access the superclass' superclass' constructor?
    e.g.
    class A {...}
    class B extends A {...}
    class C extends B {
    public C() {
    // can I do something like super.super();
    // I mean then doesn't work, but is there anything similar?
    }

    In the OP you don't need to call "super.super()" since the A class no-args constructor will be invoked anyway.
    You can, however, invoke constructors using reflection. For example:
    public class A {
         public A() {
              System.out.println("A()!");
         public A(int i) {
              System.out.println("A(int i)! : " + i);
    public class B extends A {
         public B() {
              System.out.println("B()!");
    public class C extends B {
         public C() throws Exception {
              Class types[] = new Class[1];
              types[0] = Integer.TYPE;
              Object args[] = new Object[1];
              args[0] = new Integer(1);
              this.getClass().getSuperclass().getSuperclass().getConstructor(types).newInstance(args);          
              System.out.println("C()!");
         public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
              new C();
    }Will print:
    A()!
    B()!
    A(int i)! : 1
    C()!
    btw: DON'T use this code! It's just to show you that it's possible.
