Baffling problems with letter key and erratic keybinds

I'm not even certain how to explain my issue. I was in the middle of typing an explanation to a friend in IM when I discovered that any attempt to press 'v' key resulted in a copy/paste of the URL I had attempted to send to him before. I checked to see if either of the keys included in the copy/paste keybind were somehow stuck, but the command key initially appeared to be operating normally; it was only that particular letter key that posed a problem. After restoring the default keyboard settings, turning off all of options in the 'speech' toolbar, and updating my software, I found that my computer would now paste text if I pressed either my v OR the command key on the left of the space bar. I could also occasionally type a normal letter if I held down my left click. I'm a bit baffled. Is this a sign of a dying keyboard, or..?

Is this in Leopard or on the iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2) = Tiger computer?
Does it do this if running in Safe Mode (hold down shift key while starting, be very patient)?

  • Problem with Enter key and JOptionPane in 1.4

    Hi,
    I had a problem with an application I was working on.
    In this application, pressing [Enter] anywhere within the focused window would submit the information entered into the form that was contained within the frame.
    The application would then try to validate the data. If it was found to be invalid, it would pop up a JOptionPane informing the user of that fact.
    By default, pressing [Enter] when a JOptionPane is up will activate the focused button (in most cases, the [OK] button) thus dismissing the dialog.
    In JDK 1.3 this worked fine. But in JDK 1.4, this has the result of dismissing the dialog and opping it up again. This is because the [Enter] key still works on the frame behind the JOptionPane and thus tries to validate it again, which results in another invalid dialog msg popping up.
    The only way to get out is to use the mouse or the Esc key.
    Now, in the application I put in a workaround that I was not very happy with. So, to make sure it wasn't the application itself, I created a test which demonstrates that it still misbehaves.
    Here it is.

              JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(frame, "This is a test.");
         public static void main(String[] args)
              FocusProblemTest action= new FocusProblemTest();
              try
                   UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
              catch (Exception e)
                   e.printStackTrace();
              frame= new JFrame("Test");
              frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
              Container contents= frame.getContentPane();
              contents.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
              JTextField field= new JTextField("Test");
              field.setColumns(30);
              JButton  button= new JButton(action);
              KeyStroke enterKey = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0, true);
              button.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(enterKey, "test");
              button.getActionMap().put("test", action);
              contents.add(field);
              contents.add(button);
              frame.pack();
              frame.setVisible(true);
    }Does anyone have any solution to this problem?

    I know that focus management has changed alot.
    Based on my experimentation a while back, in 1.4 it still believes that the JFrame is the window in focus, even though a JOptionPane is currently in front of it (unless I misinterpreted what was going on). Thus, the frame seems to get the keyboard event and re-invoke the action.

  • Problems with .ARW files and auto toning

    problems with .ARW files and auto toning
    let me try to explain this because this has happened in past and never found a way to resolve but i lived with it
    now that I have a Sony A7R the problem is more serious
    Firstly i take pride it making the picture happen all in camera, i use DRO lvl 5 to get enough light, like when i'm shooting at dusk. DRO its like doing HDR but in a single file, it lightens the darks. in my camera i'm happy with results
    but when I upload them to lightroom, they come out near black.
    allow me to explain
    lets say I import 100 images
    i double check my preferences and everything is UNCHECKED when it comes to importing options, there is no auto toning, nothing.
    as the images import i see a preview in the thumbnail which looks fine.
    i double click on one to enlarge it, hence leave grid view.
    for a brief 1 or 2 seconds, i see the full image in all its glory but than lightroom does something funny, it darkens the image
    one by one as it inspects each image, if it was a DRO image it makes it too dark.
    to make this clear, the image is perfect as it was in the beginning but after a few seconds lightroom for some reason thinks it needs to correct it.
    how to prevent lightroom from doing this, i want the image exactly as it is, why must lightroom apply a correction>?
    i think it has to do something with interpreting the raw file and lightroom applies its own algorithm.
    but here is what i dont get.....before lightroom makes the change i'm able to witness the picture exactly as it was taken and want it unchanged..
    now i have to tweak each file or find a profile for it which is added work.
    any ideas how to prevent lightroom from ruining my images and just leave them as they were when first detected...
    there are 2 phases...one is when it originally imports and they look fine
    second is scanning each image and applying some kind of toning which darkens it too much.
    thanks for the help

    sorry thats the auto reply message from yahoo email.
    i've disabled it now
    thing is, there is no DRO jpg to download from the camera
    its only ARW. so my understanding is when i use DRO setting, the camera makes changes to the ARW than lightroom somehow reads this from the ARW.
    but then sadly reverts it to no DRO settings.
    because i notice if i take normal picture in raw mode its dark but if i apply dro to it, it comes out brighter, yet when i d/l the image from camera to lightroom, which is an ARW - there are no jpgs. lightroom decides to mess it up
    so in reality there is no point in using DRO because when i upload it lightroom removes it.
    is there a way to tell lightroom to preserve the jpg preview as it first sees it.
    its just lame, picture appears perfect...than lightroom does something, than bam, its ruined,.
    what do i need to do to prevent lightroom from ruining the image? if it was good in the first place.

  • Mapping problem with compressed key update record

    Hi, could you please advise?
    I'm getting the following problem:
    About a week ago replicat abened with "Error in mapping" error. I found in discard file some record looking like:
    filed1 = NULL
    field2 =
    field3 =
    field4 =
    field5 =
    datefield = -04-09 00:00:00
    field6 =
    field8 =
    field9 = NULL
    field10 =
    Where filed9 = @GETENV("GGHEADER", "COMMITTIMESTAM"), field10 = = @GETENV("GGHEADER", "COMMITTIMESTAM"), others are table fields mapped by USEDEFAULTS
    So I got Mapping problem with compressed key update record at 2012-06-01 15:44
    I guess I need to mention that extract failed in 5 minuts before it with: VAM function VAMRead returned unexpected result: error 600 - VAM Client Report <[CFileInfo::Read] Timeout expired after 10 retries with 1000 ms delay, waiting to read transaction log or backup files.

To control retry delay time, use SETENV (GGS_CacheRetryDelay = n). handle: 0000000000000398 ReadFile GetLastError:997 Wait GetLastError:997>.
    I don't know if it has ther same source as data corruption, could you tell me if it is?
    Well, I created new extract, starting 2012-06-01 15:30 to check if there was something with extract at the time, but got the same error.
    If I run extract beging at 15:52 it starts and works.
    But well, I got another one today. Data didn't look that bad, but yet one column came with null value:( And I'm using it as a key column, so I got Mapping problem with compressed key update record again:(
    I'm replicating from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11g.
    I'm actually using NOCOMPRESSUPDATES in Extract.
    CDC is enabled for all tables replicated. The only thing is that it is enabled not by ADD TRANDATA command, but by SQL Server sys.sp_cdc_enable_table, does it matter?
    Could you please advise why does it happen?

    Well, the problem begins somewhere in extract or before extract, may be in transaction log, I don't know:(

    Self explanatory.
    You could try creating an iPod version of the films.
    Use CTRL and B to display the Menu bar shown above. Alternatively, use the ALT key, followed by the F key, the W key and finally the I (eye) key - that's (menu)/File/Create New Version/Create iPod or iPhone version.

  • Having problem with dead key in Leopard

    Hello. I'm having problem with dead key in Leopard.
    In Tiger it was working, but in Leopard dead key "'" doesn't work.
    In Tiger I could use OPTION key as well to get Latvian special characters (both worked - OPTION Key and dead-key), but in LEOPARD OPTION key is the only possibility to get these characters.
    How can I get dead key "'" working?
    I'm using Latvian language with Latvian keyboard layout.
    Here are images how it looked in Tiger:
    1) Before dead key is pressed:
    http://amerix.no-ip.org/tmp/1.tiff
    2) After dead key is pressed:
    http://amerix.no-ip.org/tmp/2.tiff

    ok, i got answer
    so - first problem was that ukelele didn't work in leopard (it wasn't possible to start new layout), but it was possible to edit Tom Gewecke posted layout.
    There it is possible to change every thing (dead-key as well).
    So I edited it and now i have layout where dead-key works -
    http://amerix.no-ip.org/tmp/LatvianT.keylayout
    Just do what Tom Gewecke said with this layout. It should work!

  • Problems with letter type

    Problems with letter type homepage www.JO-qigong.nl When I want to make another type it changes the whole page? Why?

    Thank you for responding. I am sure that I selected the text. I don't do anything different than I did many times before. But if I change a text know, for exemple in the color Red, than other text, that I didn't selected, get a different text: bigger text or other color. In iWeb everything is OK, but when I publish it, than there are those grazy changes. I use iWeb for 3 years now and had no problems till now.
    Is it because the software is not supported anymore by Apple, because you can not update the software anymore. It is a pitty, because I like iWeb. It is easy to work with.

  • Problems with fuction keys for brightness

    i have laptop hp 15 r006tx Product number: G8D30PA#ACJ 
    i have problems with functions keys for brightness , actually it does't works i can't actually adjust brightness, please help me.....................

    OK...
    I was right.  You have no graphics driver installed for the Intel HD graphics adapter.
    I am very surprised you were able to install the nVidia driver because usually you get an error that states you need to install the Intel graphics driver first.
    Once you install this driver, the Microsoft Basic Display adapter should be replaced by an Intel HD graphics adapter and you should be able to adjust the screen brightness.
    Make sure you have installed this Intel chipset driver first and reboot.  If you have done this already, you can skip this step.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-130504-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    Next, install the Intel HD graphics driver and reboot.  This driver is for W8.1.  If you installed W8, you need a different graphics driver.

  • I am using iPhoto 11 and my library has 736.5mb on disk. I have problems with iPhoto stalling and needing to force quit. I have rebuilt my library. Can you suggest anything else?

    I am using iPhoto 11 and my library has 736.5mb on disk. I have problems with iPhoto stalling and needing to force quit. I have rebuilt my library. Can you suggest anything else? Thanks, Rose

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If that does'nt help log into another user account on your Mac and try iPhoto from there. 

  • Problem with a key figure restriction

    Hi,
    I have a problem with one key figure in report: in infocube, this key figure is aggrigated for all the profit centers (summation). In infocube, there is a value '150' for each profit centers (100 pieces) and in the report it is counting 150*100=15000. However, it shouldn't count the sum of all entries in the infocube but show only one value in the report which would be '150'.
    I think this should be possible to do but I just don't know how. Hope somebody is able to help me. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    If the values are same for all profit center then change the Profit center infoobject property in the query design to show the maximum values for the 'calculation result as' parameter

  • Problem with Internet Key Onda Mt835Up: It doesn't work with mac os 10.6.6

    Hi I have a problem with internet key Onda MT835UP. It doesn't work, because my imac is more new than internet key.
    Can you help me? Can you send me the upgrade for this internet key?
    Thanks

    I have called Onda, there isn't the driver for Mac OS X 10.6.7 and they don't know if it'll be released.
    So if you have a Mac it's better to not buy Onda internet key,
    instead it's better to choose other brands that update the drivers of their products.

  • Letter keys and Caps lock not responding

    So, I've run into a very odd problem several times now, and I was wondering if anyone had encountered anything like it. Basically, the computer stops responding to the letter keys and cap lock will no longer turn on (light doesn't even turn on), but the arrow keys, command, and tab still work. The only way I have found to make the keys respond again is to reboot.
    This has so far occured at two different occasions: Once, while using Blender 2.49b, and several times while playing the game "Warcraft 3: the Frozen throne." The only similarity I noticed between them is that they both fill the entire screen. The problem has not occurred anywhere else, although it persists after quitting the application.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    I have been researching a lot on the internet re: 10.6.7 macbook's built-in keyboard's arrow keys are not responding! Been doing it for more than a month. I even saw a HARDWARE Troubleshooting at Youtube, by taking out the battery and tighten some screws for the keyboard, that people do by themselves and most of them say they get it fixed. Since I AM NOT techy I still tried to search for more resolutions at least before I spend money to bring my Macbook to a repair store! And finally! Thank God!!!! THIS RESOLUTION JUST FIXED MY PROBLEM w/o having to TECHNICALLY open my Macbook, take the battery out and screw harder some screws inside the laptop! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS RESOLUTION! ^_^

  • Since upgrade to ios6 l have been having problem with wifi connection and connecting to App Store and iTunes store

    Q since upgrade to iOS6 l have been having problem with wifi connection and getting into App Store and itunes

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset 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.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
