First Key Entry Doesn't register

Sometime after upgrading to Tiger, my 17" Powerbook
G4 began to not register the first key I press when
filling in an online form (login, password, etc etc)
as well as some other times .....though I notice it
mostly on online forms. I'd say it does this 60% of
the time or more, so obviously some of the time the
first key I hit actually registers. The second key
pressed always registers but this sure is irritating
to remember to look for all the time.
Does anyone have a clue what is causing this and what
the remedy might be? Is it a software or hardware
problem? (Note: when it happens it doesn't matter
what key on the keyboard I press ......including
up/down etc etc.)
Thanks
I have exactly the same problem too. I first noticed it after updating to 10.4.3. I've tried everything and while it seems to go away momentarily, it always comes back in a short while. It's really quite annoying. I have considered doing a wipe and clean install, but decided to check the discussion groups before undertaking such drastic action. Obviously, 10.4.4 and 10.4.5 did nothing to remedy the problem. I've also looked around at french sites to see if there is any mention of a similar problem, but have come up empty-handed thus far.
I'm glad to know it's not just me!
Thanks

First key pressed doesn't work?

Strange, but lately, I would say about 85% of the time, the first key I hit on my keyboard doesn't work. It doesn't matter what key, letter or number, it doesn't work. I'll look up at what I've typed and the first letter is always missing. It's turning into a huge nuisance and I don't think it's me not pressing hard enough or something silly like that, because it happens so very often and I certainly am not changing the way I type for the last 30 years or so.
Any ideas what could be causing it? It's as if it takes a second for the keyboard to realize it's being used and by then, I've typed on by.
I'm using the standard Apple keyboard that came with the G5, but it's not the original. This one I've had for about a year and a half.

I had your issue on two Macs for over a year. A combination of the following cleared it up for me;
Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.
Then I Repaired Permissions in DU using the version on your hard drive.
Then I downloaded the
Combo Update, yours would be the 10.5.4 Combo
You can apply it right over the one you have now with no trouble--use the link, not Software Updates version.
Repaired Permissions and made sure all the other updates for my Mac's were up to date.
Then I went further with it, and used a utility you may not have.
I used and would recommend DiskWarrior.
After all these actions the issue I had (yours) disappeared. Some here have said one of the recent updates dealt with this agravating condition, and if so, thank you Apple!
I feel my tips are what fixed it for me. I was a big contributor to two enormous threads on this problem, and have read every post on the subject.
Hope this helps.

Creating token key entry with SunPKCS11

Hi:
I have a problem creating a key entry in a smart card using PKCS11. I use a PKCS12 file as my input which is correctly loaded, I can parse the certificate chain. Then I try to load the key onto the card, but this fails in the C_CreateObject native method:

Thanks, Erik

i came up with the same problem. Can you tell me your way to deal with it ?

Different passwords for KeyStore and Key entry

I am having trouble using a keystore whose entries have passwords that are different from both each other, and the keystore itself. I have managed to get this (differing storepass, and keypass) working for the case of a single entry, but this case is pointless since it is the same as having a new keystore for each user. It also works fine in the case that multiple key entries share a password that is different from the keystore. However, when I place a new key entry with a different password into the keystore I get an UnrecoverableKeyException upon initialization of the KeyManagerFactory.
There seems to be some sort of restriction that the key entries should all share the same password.
I have found several articles and texts that touch on this, but the details are fuzzy. Has anyone else ever tried to do this? Will you offer some insight? When multiple users have access to the same machine should they share a keystore, or is keeping a separate keystore file for each user the standard?
Thank you for any assistance.

Pankaj,
Thank you for your reply. I also have not seen the problems when manipulating the keys with keytool. However, when selecting a key through the KeyManager I get problems.
I have wrapped the default KeyManager with another KeyManager which captures the calls to chooseClientAlias, and getPrivateKey so that I may use the key's password rather than the one that was used to load the keystore. The problem seems to arise before this.
I get an UnrecoverableKeyException at the time that the KeyManagerFactory is initialized. I don't know what the KeyManagerFactory initialization method is doing with the password. Do you know where I might find the code for this? My debugger just gives me function defs. I think that I need to supply a custom KMF, but it would be nice to know what the default one is doing first.
I noticed that you have authored a book on j2ee security. Does it cover this?

Delegated User Search returns first 200 entries only...?

Hi Folks,
We are using Delegated user administration. When I try to perform a search against the user base it doesn't matter what I type in for search criteria it always returns the first 200 entries starting with the letter "a". It's almost as if it ignores the search criteria I entered. For example I can enter "W*" in the search field, select user from the drop down and perform a search. It returns only the first 200 entries starting with "a".
We are EP6.0 on SP13 for NW04.
Anyone have any ideas?
I would greatly appreciate any help.
Regards,

hi,
User Management Properties (sapum.properties)
The property file sapum.properties contains properties controlling the configuration of SAP User Management Engine. The installer creates the settings in sapum.properties based on input made during the installation process. You can modify this file after installation.
If you are using User Management Engine with SAP Enterprise Portal, you can edit the properties file in the user management configuration tool.
The default value is 200 and to change it you have to edit it.

I am getting error messages when keying entries into SAP in transaction cod

I am getting error messages when keying entries into SAP in transaction code F-02. It will tell me that an asset doesn't exist in the company code I am posting to when the asset does exist. For example in the parked document 101079622 it tells me that asset WV0707711 doesnt' exist in CoCode . But what is keyed in the document is WV07077 1 1.
And when i look in Transaction AS03 for this asset number it does indeed exist in Co Code. Also if you take these assets out and park it and then go into Transaction FBV2 and add the asset back into the document it will add it and then post to it. This happens often and is very time consuming. I need to know how to fix this without all this additional effort

Hi,

My wireless key board doesn't seem to communication with my computer even though bluetooth shows it is connected. I have changed the batteries on the keyboard and when turn on the key board the green lights comes on shortly and disappears.How to fix ?

Hey Annar99,
I found a few articles that might help with the issue you're encountering. These first two are if the Bluetooth keyboard you're using is the one that came with your iMac. The first is a general "how to" for setting up your Apple Wireless keyboard, while the second one is for troubleshooting if the advice in the first article isn't working:
Bluetooth: How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1809
Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048
If, on the other hand, you're using a third party keyboard, then I would take a look at the following article's troubleshooting section:

Hope that helps,

I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture. It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button. even though when i hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top

I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture.
It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button.
even though when i hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top on the back and the home button is on the bottom on the front.
This problem is irritating me....?

To take panorama
- ensure that the panorama option is on
- press the shutter button once
- you will see a line with an arrow
- move around in a circle ( I keep the camera steady and turn myself around in a circle)
- as you do this you will see the arrow moving across the screen as it captures pictures
- at the end of the capture, you will be able to see your panorama picture
I hope that this helps, do report back.

I got my cousin's old I-Pod as a gift, but when I hook up the I-Pod to my computer using the USB so I can put music on it, it doesn't register as being plugged in. What should I do?

I got my cousin's old I-Pod as a gift, but when I hook up the I-Pod to my computer using the USB so I can put music on it, it doesn't register as being plugged in. What should I do? I also cannot figure out how to change who's I-Pod it is. Can anyone help me out?

- I would try resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
and then try restoring it. This probably will not work but is worth a try.
- Next I would disconnect the iPod from the computer and let the battery fully drain. When drained, charge it for at least an hour then:
-- Try resetting it as above and see if iTunes will see the iPod. If it does, then restore the iPod.
-- If not in iTunes try placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if that make the iPod visible in iTunes. If it does then restore via iTunes
-- Last, place in DFU mode to see if that makes the iPod visible. If it does then restore via iTunes.

My zagg key board connects but the keys I type either don't type character, type 2 characters that are different when I hit only 1 key, or doesn't type at all. Is there a way to reset zagg keyboard to factory settings?

Recharging is a good thing to try. They do start to act odd when the battery gets low. Beyond that, just like Tom says, contact Zagg. I have one of their keyboards and the company has wonderful customer service.

No entry in the register of Windows 2003 server

Hi,
I just have installed an OAS 10g (10.1.2.0.2) on a windows 2003 server. The ASDB en AS control run good. Everything is OK. Only one thing is very strange. There is no entry in the register.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE =>
SOFTWARE => there is no Oracle. (also after reboot!)
What's happening?

Hi
the error is simple. The path
TFTS02\INTF\RD1\OUTB\MM\RFC you are trying to access is not there so create the path in the FILE transaction.
In file tcode goto NEW ENTRIES and give the path and also make sure that in AL11 the path and the filename you are trying to open exists.
Thanks & Regards

First data entry and First consolidation

If I start new BCS system, will the Period and year of First data entry be the year and period of First consolidation?
I thinkt that it is not possible to track the Change of stockholder's equities in subsidiary from REAL starting period of acquition.

First:
There is one very important thing to know about "first consolidation period/year":
Lets say 12/2008
If you use carry forward, for example with movement type 100, then you are allowed to upload data into 12/2008 on movement type 100 and only then.
Second:
You need to assign an accounting technique to the consolidation group change and reporting.
Check this link:
