Awesome Bar / Browser Problem. Won't let me type in keywords to send directly to website...

I used to be able to type in keywords into the awesome bar, like "tom brady wiki" and press enter. Firefox would then send me straigh to tom brady's wikipedia page. Now it sends me to google when ever i type in keywords into the browser.
I just want things back to the way it was. Like I could type in "tom hanks imdb" into the browser and firefox would send me DIRECTLY to tom hanks' imdb page. PLEASE HELP.

Hi,
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/ApplicationCache.db
Move the ApplicationCache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your PowerBook, try Safari.
If that didn't help, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
It's not a malware or virus issue...

I'm trying to type a website on the search bar and it won't let me type anything. It keeps clearing after I type a letter! Please Help!

I'm trying to type a website on the search engine but it won't let me type the website. Like, when I type a letter it'll automatically clear it unless I hold the letter down. How do I fix this?

BB Curve 9300 doing random things, won't let me type my unlock password, send/receive texts or phone calls

I have had my BB Curve 9300 for 1 day, today it appears to be doing random things, when I try to type my unlock password it is putting random characters in. Its also sending random text messages out and I am unable to answer any calls? Any ideas? Thanks

Sounds like this could be a software issue. Have you upgrade any of the software or changes any settings or put a different OS on the phone?
If Not
I would suggest taking it back to where you bought it and have them issue it as an OBF (Out of Box Failure). Afew BBS have this problem and usually they come with a 7 days warranty in case of a manufacturing fault. Should that be the case I would recommend that you take your 9300 back and demand for either a replacement of for them to fix it for you free of charge.
But should you have changed something or added new software then the fault lays on you and you're responsible for the fixing of the BB.

Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu and shut it down from there. If that doesn't work, save and close everything you can, and then use the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to force quit the loginwindow process.

Terminal won't let me type my password

Hiya,
Don't know anything about Terminal. I'm trying to set my computer up for remote printing to use at my university library. Using my IT services webpage, I copied and pasted a text string into the window as instructed. I got this:
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
Password:
So what I think that means is that whatever I was supposed to enter there was fine. The problem is that it's won't let me type my password. I tried typing all different kinds of characters, and nothing happens- there's just a dark grey box after the colon. If I hit return, it says "sorry, password incorrect" or something.
My computer is a two-year-old iBook G4 running some kind of OS X, if that matters. Sorry, I feel like this is probably really obvious, but I'm at a loss.
Thanks,
Kate
iBook G4

When you are prompted for your password in Terminal nothing will be echoed to the screen when you type your password... no characters, no dots, the cursor won't move... that's normal... it's a security safeguard.
Just type your password and press the return key.
However, you must be logged into your computer with an account that has administrator privileges. And it's asking for the password of the account you're logged in to.

IPhone keyboard won't let me type the word "fixes"

When I try to type the word "fixes", the iPhone (3G, with iPhone OS 2.2) keyboard won't let me type the word "fixes". If I hold down my finger for the last letter, and move it left and right, I can see that it is refusing to allow "S" to be typed. It switches between "A" and "D".
I have seen other examples of this in the past, where the keyboard simply refuses to type some letters, but never on a common English word before.
Has anyone found a way around this, other than accepting the wrong letter, backspacing, and re-typing?
Cheers,
Will.

All this time, I thought it was me...I couldn't for the life of me type my daughter's name, Caitlin, into the phone. I would always get C-A-I-R-L-I-N. Again, thought it was just me not being able to hit that key right, though I don't really have a problem with anything else. Then this weekend, I finally tried to force the phone to type it right by trying to slide my finger to the "T", and it was completely skipped over. I went back and forth from "R" to "Y" several times. Nope, the "T" refused to be typed. Now that I know it's a confirmed bug, I feel a little bit better about my iPhone typing skills.

Try first this:
Go to Windows Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right click on Command Prompt, select 'Run as administrator'.
In the Command Prompt type: cd c:\windows\syswow64 and press Enter.
Next type this and then press Enter:
regsvr32 jscript.dll
Next type this and press Enter:
regsvr32 jscript9.dll
After each Enter you should receive a message saying that DllRegisterServer in XXX.dll succeeded.
Reboot your computer.
Make now the test showing if your Internet Explorer can execute JavaScript.
Open in your Internet Explorer this page and watch the response:

TimeCapsule won't let me type password for "delete all backups of..."

I've been using this TimeCapsule/TimeMachine for a couple years. I'm trying to open up some space. So I just excluded a couple folders from being backed up. Now I'd like to dump the old backups of those folders. So I go into TimeMachine, go to latest backup (not "Now/Today"), click on folder, hit "Delete all backups of..." from the action/gear menu, and it warns me that it can't be undone. Then it prompts me for admin name/password, but it won't let my type in the password!
It will let me hit the OK button (at which point it says it's a bad password), or hit the Cancel button to cancel, but it won't let me type anything. (Not into the Name field either, though that doesn't matter since it's prefilled with the correct name.)

See #E4 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
Mixing Time Machine backups and other data on a TC's internal HD usually leads to problems, as you've seen. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details and some possible workarounds.

You possibly have a redemption code which has to be converted into a serial number.

MacBook won't let me type anything at all

MacBook won't let me type anything at all. It's running Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snowleopard

You have to understand the difference between an Update and an Upgrade.
An Update is a free change to add to the base code or as a bug fix within an existing Operating System. Such as the .8 added to 10.5.
An Upgrade is a complete new Operating System that must be purchased. Such as 10.5 Leopard to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
10.5 Leopard was written for Power PC Macs with code added to allow it to run on Intel processors.
10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs.
10.7 Lion used some 32 bit which allows it to run on Late 2006 through Early 2008 MacBooks and a lot of 64 bit code.
10.8 Mountain Lion is pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It can only run on the Late 2008 through Mid 2010 MacBooks. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.

HELP?! My iPod touch won't let me type anything!

Where are you physically located?
What country's Store are you using?
The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
Has the ID(s) worked before for purchases for this country's store?

The easiest fix is to format the receiving column as Text prior to making your entries.
Another way is to format as "Numeral System", Base: 10, Places: 5. This doesn't work so well if you need the 4 extra digits that some people like to use.
It's also possible to create a Custom Format, but it's rather more involved.
