BB keys not working/now not switching on
I'll try & explain it as clear as I can, a few things seem to be going wrong!
I have a PAYG Orange BB 8520 & last night the whole thing went a little mad.
I was typing a message & I noticed when I pressed the keys, the wrong letters were showing up.
I tried to switch it off, nothing - so then I pulled out the battery.
It waited for it ot reboot & the same thing happened. The keys weren't working correctly.
Tbh, I cba last night, so I did switch it off in the end.
& hoped for the best in the morning.
This morning, it did switch on. But this time I noticed the 'A' key wasn't working.
So I couldn't lock the phone nor type the letter A.
I pulled the battery again it & I left it about for a while, about 30mins.
& yet again, it didn't work.
Waited for it to start & again, this key wasn't working.
I switched off (not taking the battery out) & right now, the bloomin' thing won't switch on!
It only will if I take the battery out & then it starts back up.
What can I do to get it working the way it was?
Thanks.
If the computer worked OK with the G4 keyboard that points the finger at a faulty keyboard. If they machine is still under warranty or covered by AppleCare then contact Apple to arrange getting a new keyboard.
As I mentioned doing a reset on a MacBook is totally different. Here are instructions for doing so on an Apple Notebook:
MacBook Pro
SMC & PRAM Resets
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

I can't install any app from apple store. The install button is not working now. Before it was working perfectly had installed many app and I had purchased many app from i-store
If you installed Leopard that is why you can't install Mt Lion. The system Must be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to upgrade to Lion or Mt Lion.
If you only erased the Macintosh HD partition then you left the Mt Lion Recovery HD partition in tact on that system. At startup hold down the Command+r keys to boot to the Recovery HD Partition. From there erase the Macintosh HD partition and then select Reinstall Mac OS X. It should then download Mt Lion and ask you for the Apple ID that was used to purchase Mt Lion.
The Reason Snow Leopard might not be installing is because of the Recovery HD partition. To get rid of that you must First Re-Partition the drive As One Partition. Then install Leopard then SL (Or Snow Leopard from the start) and then update it to 10.6.8. Once that is done you should be able to log on to the Mac App Store and Re-Download Mt Lion. -
After last update the split keyboard option is not working and side switch button option works opposite for mute and rotation lock.
Hi
A long story about your issue... I think the reason of this is why you have deleted some registry keys. If you delete something in the Windows registry you should really know what you do. You can damage the complete Windows system!
So I think this is the reason why the keyboard doesnt anymore.
In the user manual I have founded that the CD-ROM booting option is only available with optional optical disk drive.
So for me it sounds like that your USB CD drive is not compatible to the notebook -
hi i have moved from uk to india, i have changed my country in itunes store, when i am entering my payment details its not accepting. more worse is all my applications which i have downloaded in uk are not working now. please suggest me a solution

I want to be able to keep app's, music, movies and my Cloud/Match exactly the same. How do I do this?
Because of different local copyright laws and licensing you cannot keep everything exactly the same except for iCloud, which is not affected. You will have to create a new Apple ID for use on the UK iTunes Store with a form of payment drawn on a local bank and an address in the UK. As long as you have downloaded all your purchases and the computer is still authorized to play all protected video content that won't change, however Apps may give you trouble when updating because once associated with an Apple ID you can only switch between stores every 90 days.
As for iTunes Match you must contact Australian iTunes Store support to cancel the subscription and you will have to resubscribe on the UK store. -
Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords (HTML5) are not working now ,can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS as we have a meeting coming up .. its urgent
Downgrading the iOS is not supported. If you are using Safari this try clearing its cache via Settings > Safari.
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
My iPhone 5 rear camera was not working, now the rear camera is also not working. I have procured the phone in 2012 from San Fransico. USA Can anyone help me, please?
No one here can help you. If your phone is no longer under warranty, a third-party repair shop will most likely be your best bet. You can't mail the phone to Apple, in the US, as Apple does not accept international shipments. You could mail it to a friend/relative, in the US, & they could take it to an Apple store for you. Some Apple stores repair iPhones. Otherwise, you're looking at an out of warranty replacement.
Good luck. -
iPod nano 6th generation, syncing with audiobooks does not work now, had been working. Sync test says: No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found. Connectivity test OK, no physical problems, iTunes shows the iPod. Any clues what to do?
Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

My wife has an iPhone 4, 16 GB. After upgrading to iOS 7, despite having 10 GB free, the phone says No storage available. Tried a soft reset, tried restore as well. Still not working. iCloud is switched off.
Please help.. This has become a pain.. and of course theres no way to go back to iOS 6.Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11.1.5) Installed on your computer

Then... Restore as New (not backup) and Re-Sync your Content.

There is no way to remotely track or disable an iPod nano, either for you or Apple. As it can't connect to the Internet on its own, Find my iPhone isn't available for it.

If you do not find a solution in the iPod nano (6th generation) - User Guide, suggest that you call AppleCare if still under warranty or take a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP.

My iMac mouse right click does not work now
Hi all,
My iMac mouse right click does not work now. It was fine a couple of days ago.
Right click is definitely enabled, I have checked it several times.
A Google search revealed that in Firefox it could be that I'm not using the latest version of Firebug. I have auto updates on and Firebug is the latest version 1.11.3
I use right click for correcting spell checked words, instead of a suggested correct spelling I get the 'open in a new tab' menu.
In Firefox when I right click to open in a new tab I get the menu but it does nothing.
It is driving me mad
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Thank you
P.S. thought it was suddenly working when I did the spell check in this post but it was the left click doign it....I don't use Firefox so I can't test it, but it might be something to do with a preference setting. Have a look at this link (ignore all the instructions), just look at the image of the preferences, there appears to be a setting in Javascript preferences relating to contextual menus. Check to see what your settings are:

I activated my cloud membership and downloaded Lightroom 5.5. Today, I downloaded Lightroom 5.6 and it asked for a serial number before it would open. Why did the same serial number that worked 2 weeks ago not work now?
