Do I Need a Special Keyboard for the eMac?

My 23-month-old spilled a Coke in my eMac keyboard.
(Just to clarify, the Coke was mine; I don't ant any lectures about giving caffeine to a kid. I don't do that, since my kids are nuts enough as it is.)
Since some of my keys no longer work, I'm sure I'll need a new one. What kind of keyboard can I attack to my eMac?
I tried to hook up the keyboard from an unused G3 iMac, but it didn't work, for the most part, and if it did, it would only work for a few seconds before freezing up and requiring a restart.
If there is some special trick to getting the G3 iMac keyboard to work, that would be great, but if not, then I'd like to know what I need.
Thx,
Mike

Grant,
I wil l try another Mac keyboard. Thank you for your reply.
Completely unrelated, but are you using you Mac setup for music stuff? (I noticed that you're in the Nashville area.)
Thx,
Mike
Sounds like a bad connection from the keyboard. The
cable is probably shorting out somewhere.
Most USB keyboards should work. I have had problems
with OS X not recognizing some 3 party keyboards, but
ones from the major manufacturers(Apple, Logitech,
Kensington, etc) should work fine.

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

I’m going to get the I Mac and since the new I Mac doesn’t have DVD drive on it I was thinking to get the Samsung SE-506AB Slim Portable Blu-ray Writer in order to burn movies from I movie do I need a special software for that since the SE-506ab comes only with windows software.. but I did check and it is compatible with apple. Can you please advise me and or let me know if I’m buying the right stuff or if there is any other blu ray that will work with the I mac as plug and play.
Thank you

This freezing reminds me of really old Macs, long ago, in the days of the old-school peripherals like SCSI drives, terminators, scanners and the like. If you had a SCSI conflict, like the wrong device ID's or something, you'd freeze up like that. Back in those days you'd call 800-SOS-APPLE (AAPL?) and they'd run you through disconnecting all your extra hardware - Jaz and Zip drives, CD burners, scanners etc and then eliminate them one by one by adding them incrementally and testing for the freeze/bomb dialog.
But, today we have Firewire and none of those ancient issues (no free lifetime tech support either). My iMac's ports are all full, and I only know which devices are connected when I have to remove something for another device. iSight, scanner, card reader, external hard drive, USB soundsticks, etc. You wouldn't happen to have any SCSI devices hooked up, would you?
Out of curiosity, have you tried a different USB/Firewire port for the hard drive? Or run the hardware test DVD that comes with your computer? This weird freezing seems to suggest a problem with the computer, RAM or network more than a device. Bad devices, in my experience, cause kernel panics, not freezing.

I have an iPad 32 gb - do I need a special charger for it? The charger for the newer iPads seems to fit but it does not charge it.

I have an iPad 3 GB - do I need a special charger for this older model? The charger for a newer iPad seems to fit, but I do not get any kind of display that it is charging.

Did you try another cable?
If you are using a USB to iPad dock connector (older iPads do not use the newer Lightning connector) then
The Dock connector or the USB cable may be bad.

Where can I get this Chinese keyboard for the X1 Carbon Touch?

I'm looking for this keyboard for the X1 Carbon Touch (3443CTO):
I believe it's sold in Taiwan, because it has the Bopomofo typing system, but I would mainly need it for Cangjie. So far, I think I've narrowed it down to two FRUs: 04X0479 and 04Y0819. Is it possible to install a Windows 7 X1 Carbon keyboard on a Windows 8 X1 Carbon Touch, ie. are they cross-compatible? Unfortunately, I don't know which one to purchase or how to order the keyboard. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Solved!

Hi breandan,
I have been quite busy lately with a startup i am running, so i didn't have time to contribute regularly on my ThinkScopes blog.
I think you can pop off the keys, but you may damage them in the process. I think it would work out easier and cheaper trying to procure the keyboard that you need from some other random sources. If you know Chinese, you can try 51nb.com forum, they have lot of odd parts retailer that can stuffs for you, and they are not that expensive either. Failing that call IBM Parts service and quote the part you need, and get it from them.

I am having problems with my ear pieces being pick up by bluetooth. Do you have to BUY a special earpiece for the iphone 5?

I have two ear pieces, one practically new, I used with the iphone 4 I had. The iphone 5 is not discovering the earpieces, and I have no hands free capability. Do I have to buy a special earpiece for the 5 or is there a patch or something coming out?

You do not need a special headset for your iPhone. Did you pair the headset with the new iPhone? You may have to read the instructions for the headset to see if you have to put it in "discovery" mode before it will show up on the iPhone's Bluetooth settings page.

I have 2 point security for AppleID. My iPhone 4S is listed as my trusted phone to text. No tel. no. is given. I am updating to iPhone 6Plus with same tel. no. Do I need to change anything for the sign in verification?

Of course You can also add your iPhone telephone # as a trusted device.
This way when you insert your SIM card into any phone, Apple will automatically recognize your cell phone # as a
trusted device (may be handy if iphone breaks but you insert SIM card into another phone).
HOWEVER:
Having also your iPhone as a trusted device, is convenient if you travel and use a different SIM card
at destination. This way you can still use the iphone for verification, even though you are using a different
phone #.

Need best Architecture design for the following scenario

Hi Experts,
I need best architecture design for the following scenario:
Sender: Mail
Receiver: if sender body contain u201DApproveu201D, then call SOAP adapter, If SOAP adapter execute successfully, then send Mail(SOAP adapter executed successfully) and SMS . So receiver is SOAP, Mail and SMS.
My current approach issue:
Three message mapping:
Mapping1: mail to SOAP
Mapping2: mail to Mail
Mapping3: mail to SMS
In interface determinant>u201DSelect all three operation mappingu201D> u201Cselect order at runtimeu201D.
Issue in current approach: For me first SOAP adapter should complete successfully, after that only my Mail and SMS operation mapping should execute:
But problem is before success of SOAP adapter engine, Mail and SMS mapping completed or integration engine executed.
Note: There is possible to fail the SOAP request in adapter engine.
Kindly help me --> u201CAm I going correct way or want to change the architectureu201D?
Thanks for advance!!
Regards, Kumar

What do you mean by successful execution of soap call? Are you talking about Successful response (happy flow) from the soap call instead of application error ? Then based on the response you want to decide sending mail and sms. How big call is your soap ? If your soap interface is very simple I can give the other possible way.
Sender sends the message, use mapping to read the content and then do soap call in the mapping itself and after seeing the soap response decide about two receivers (mail and SMS). If your soap call is very simple one, you can go for it. Otherwise I would not recommend this. The reason is you loose some visibility regards to monitoring during soap call in the mapping.
Other option is go for CCBPM. Here you receive the message, use send step to soap interface which is sync step. Then after seeing the response create another block with fork steps each for two senders mail and sms. If response bad then dont proceed or execute the next block. Simply use exeception or control step to jump out from the block,

The special offer for the printer that is going on with a Mac, how does that work? Is it true i can get a free printer?

The special offer for the printer that is going on with a Mac, how does that work? Is it true i can get a free printer?

you pay for it up front, and they give you a rebate or $99, so if you buy a $99 printer from them (Epson Stylus NX430 Small-in-One Color Inkjet Printer $99.95) then the printer becomes free. You can not get this deal unless you also buy a mac with it.

We have user defined PA characteristics. If there is new characteristic we update the custom lists through KES1.
Lack of a match in this table, leads either to no description or the error you are describing.
good luck
