  • Cannot type / use keyboard properly - keyboard bugs!

    Please help! I cannot type in the password to unlock my bb.. they keyboard is not typing the correct letter(s) when pressed. I was prompted to type 'blackberry" to continue. and am unable to get the "k" to show up on screen when pressed. I have NO idea HOW to get passed this issue. I have been unable to dowload the software onto my computer. Is it possible to reset the phone?? PLEASE HELP!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Sometimes, rebooting your device (battery pull method) can result in the keyboard acting correctly.
    Sometimes, if you connect to your PC and are prompted there for the password, you can then type it on the PC keyboard and unlock the device (as well as reset the incorrect password counter).
    You of course must do all of this before you exhaust the maximum allowed attempts. If you fail the maximum times, your BB will wipe itself clean of all user data, apps, etc. and be "like new" again. Of course, if you have a hardware problem with the keyboard, such a result won't help that particular problem.
    Good luck and let us know!

    I cannoT Type The lower case leTTer T on my iMac keyboard..

    Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether either the listening key or the speech key has become set to that keystroke; if so, change the setting.

  • TS1381 Keyboard working. Cannot type in password to enter the computer.

    I cannot access my MacBook pro. It appears that the q.w,and e keys will not function. I cannot type in my passwords to access my computer. What can I do to enter the computer without having to type in my passwords?

    Keyboard is NOT working

  • I cannot type a capital i using the left shift key. also keyboard now putting the cursor in a different place than where i type. Checked speech keys, all fine. Batteries fine.

    i cannot type a capital i using the left shift key. also keyboard now putting the cursor in a different place than where i type while i am typing. Checked speech keys, all fine. Batteries fine. Also used the keyboard check program on the imac, shows key ok.
    wireless mouse will suddenly scroll down horizontally and won't stop. when i am on a webpage it will bounce back to the previous page without my doing so. i have tried adjusting the mouse several times, turning it on and off, and now am using my wacom mouse which also seems to have issues with this computer.  i have only had this a few months and getting very frustrated.

    Can you try a different keyboard to see if the problem persists? Also, you have 90 days of phone support when you buy a mew mac.

  • We cannot type Polish (non-latin) characters in WebDynpro applications

    We cannot type Polish (non-latin) characters in WebDynpro application (in runtime) because 'Browser Help Shortcuts' are fired.
    To type a polish character in polish keyboard you need to press AltGr + letter (ie. AltGr + a/c/e/s/o/l/z/x/n). To type an uppercase polish character you need to press AltGr + Shift + letter. This comination is in fact the same as pressing Alt + Ctrl + Shift + letter (because AltGr produces Alt + Ctrl) and it fires some of 'Browser Help Shortcuts'. For example AltGr + Shift + O should produce a letter O with a dash on it's top but instead it fires 'Show nesting of HTML containers'.
    We tried to turn off sap-wd-lightspeed, but then other key combinations are reserved for u2018Browser Help Shortcutsu2019.
    We need to be able to use AltGr + Shift + a/c/e/s/o/l/z/x/n in runtime.
    Product: SAP NW 7.11 SP04
    WebDynpro for Java
    I hope there is a somewhere a hidden parameter that solves our problem Maybe we're in some kind of debug mode?
    Thanks for your help!!

    The funny thing is that bold font [when message unread in message list] shows OK, ie in greek, but when i click on unread message, it is assumed to have been read, so it changes over to medium [non bold] and the encoding changes as well into the one that is not greek and thus unreadable.  In ~/.sylpheed/sylpheedrc the fonts are:
    widget_font=
    message_font=-microsoft-sylfaenarm-medium-r-normal-*-*-160-*-*-p-*-iso8859-7
    normal_font=-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-7
    bold_font=-monotype-arial-bold-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-7
    small_font=-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-7
    In /etc/gtk, for gtk1.2 apps the file refering to greek encoding [el] seems to be fine [exactly the same as in slackware 9.1].

  • I am not proficient using pages. I opened and saved a document but for some reason there is no cursor so I cannot type in the document. How can i revert to a blank page?

    I opened a document in pages but cannot type anything in the document

    I assume that you you tried tapping and holding down on the document and the keyboard would not pop up and the insertion point did not appear.
    If you want to start with a clean slate, tap the Documents button in the upper left corner. When in thumbnail view you can tap the edit button in the upper right - find that blank document that you just closed - tap on it and then tap the trash can in the upper left to delete it.
    To start with a new document - tap the + button in the upper left corner and tap Create New Document.

  • Cannot type in password after awaking, ideapad yoga 2

    Any one has met this problem? Is there anyone would provide a solution? Thanks!
    I got the new ideapad yoga 2 yesterday. And this happens twice. When I awake the laptop from sleep model. I cannot type in password. The keyboard light turn on, but cannot work anymore. I have to sleep it again, then I can type again. 
    Why this happened. 

    There are also reports of touchpad driver issues and since both the keyboard and touchpad run from the legacy PS/2 port it's possible that the problems are related...

  • When I type the keyboard is in the way and I can't see what I am typing. How do I fix this on my iPad?

    When I type the keyboard is in the way and I cannot see what I am typing. How do I fix this?

    I just updated to ios8 on my iPad and the keyboard blocking the text is driving me nuts!  You used to be able to scroll the page up which would allow one to see what you were typing.  Ugh! Help.  splitting the screen is not an option. It used to work fine

  • Cannot type certain characters

    I have a brand new Ipod touch - right out of the box it
    appears to be defective - I cannot type certain characters,
    such as "C", and "T". Most characters do work but I believe
    the touch screen is dead in certain places. Is there any hope
    of this being something I can fix or should I just return it
    immediately?

    Hi,
    First try the [5R's Trouble Shoot|http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/troubleshooting/ipodtouch>.
    You could also see if the keyboard will work in landscape mode with Safari.
    I think your first instinct is correct though, take/send it back.
    Dud.
    p.s welcome to discussions, sorry its broke straight out the box

  • TS3711 I have changed the keyboard on my iBook G4 (OS 10.5) to a Japanese JIS Keyboard but cannot get the Keyboard Setup Assisstant to run and recognise it.

    I have changed the keyboard on my iBook G4 (OS 10.5) to a Japanese JIS Keyboard but cannot get the Keyboard Setup Assistant to run and recognise it. Some symbols don't match. What can I do to get the new keyboard recognised/installed? The keyboard setup assitant looks as if it will open when clicked on but does not.

    You may need to reset the pmu.  See this article:

  • Cannot type Traditional Chinese

    I am using the newest version of Firefox for android. I cannot type the Traditional Chinese correctly in any banks in the browser. it is quite inconvenient when using the Google search engine for searching Chinese keywords.
    My device is Sony Xperia Z . Thank you for your help.

    I am using the default Sony keyboard. I type the Traditional Chinese by the method of Stroke (CJKV character), which is called "筆劃" in Chinese.
    Actually, I found the same problem in my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Updated to Yosemite, safari freezes and cannot type into word

    I updated to Yosemite and my Safari has been freezing, and MS word will not work, I cannot type into new documents. I can open them, I can type here (so the keyboard works), but I cannot type in word

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Safari
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Quit the application if it's running. Move all files in that folder with a name beginning in "History" to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the application and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the items you moved back where they were, overwriting the ones that may have been created in their place. Otherwise, delete the items you moved. If possible, restore them from a backup that predates the problem.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    Try option + shift + _  . (bottom right corner key I think).

  • After latest security update, cannot type capital "s" nor "w" using right shift key. Left one works fine...

    I'm running Snow Leopard with the last week's update...
    I see now cannot type several characters using the right shift key..
    I tried to reboot - bad habit from windows era still no improvement...
    how can I rollback to previous version of software?
    or/ is there a solution to this problem

    Is it all applications that these keys don't work?
    Also is it a wired keyboard or bluetooth keyboard, either keyboard i'd suggest starting with resetting SMC (helps USB) and PRAM (helps Bluetooth)
    Reset SMC
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Reset PRAM
    Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    If it's a USB keyboard i'd suggest trying a different USB port and restarting the computer, for a bluetooth keyboard i'd suggest removing the keyboard from Bluetooth Preferences and repairing the keyboard.
