Help! My text keeps disappearing!

I have a Pavilion dv7 and I don't know what keys I'm hitting, but something keeps making the text that I've typed disappear. It doesn't matter what I'm typing...in an email or a Word document. I don't know what keys I'm hitting to make it do this. I also keep hitting keys that cause strange windows to pop up. Are there shortcut keys pre-programmed into the keyboard? If so, how can I disable them. It is getting beyond frustrating!
Thanks for any help!

What font, font size and color are you using?

Text keeps disappearing when I select it to make type at all / make changes / edit. Type tool is not working. I am running CS6 on a Macbook Pro Retina (which I am hating!) 10.9.4 - wish I'd never upgraded.

The bookmark problem is annoying but can always be fixed by simply terminating and restarting Safari.

Please help! Text format disappear after upgrade to vs2005

So I upgraded my VS2003 crystal version 10 C# code to VS2005 but the compiler gave me this error: 'CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType' does not contain a definition for 'Text' the ExportFormatType enum now only has NoFormat = 0, CrystalReport = 1, RichText = 2, WordForWindows = 3, Excel = 4, PortableDocFormat = 5, HTML32 = 6, HTML40 = 7, ExcelRecord = 8, How do I get the Text format back? Thanks a lot!

Try deleting the .plists for Adobe Acobat.
Quit the application.
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences. Move the .plist(s) to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I have to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Help my components keep disappearing

Hi,
What I am trying to do is add awt components (which at the moment are simple
white rectangles with a string inside) to a swing JPanel while the program
is running using the right mouse button. It works when I add the first
component but as soon as I try adding a second the first disappers. When I
try adding a third mulitiple copies appear and basicly its being very flaky.
Below is the code I am using to add the awt components.
public static void drawObjectsInSpace(){
System.out.println("Number call");
int index = 0;
spaceBodyPanel.removeAll();
while (count >= index){
System.out.println(index);
spaceMediaDisplayObject smdo = (spaceMediaDisplayObject)
spaceDisplayObjectVector.get(index);
spaceBodyPanel.add(smdo);
index = index + 1 ;
So I have a vector of awt components that I go through and redraw each one as
a new component is added. I don't see why the previous component would
disapper when the next is added. Please help if possible. Thanks.

Why mix AWT and Swing ?
- It's known to cause problems.
Try JComponents instead !

All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.

I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.

That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.

I am doing a cover for O.M.G. by usher and it requires 4 to 5 different vocal layers. My first "line" of vocals keeps disappearing even after i save it. So I have to redo everything on the top line. Any help?

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,

My forwart text feature on IOS 8 keeps disappearing and the only way I know how to make it re-appear is by powering off and on my phone, is there another way to fix this feature?

my forward text message feature on IOS8 keeps disappearing and the only way I know to make it re-appear is by powering off and on my phone. Is there any other way to fix this?

I should also point out that when I connect my iPhone, it DOESN'T appear as a connected drive on the desktop. Not sure how this can be so, since the iPhone also has a drive and also functions as an iPod if I want it to. I must have changed some setting to achieve this non-appearance, but don't remember what I must have done.
What's the secret?

Since updating to the new 6 update, my contacts regularly disappear. I am constantly doing a restore to get my contacts back (have now restored 7 times over the last week) but they keep disappearing for no apparent reason. Help!?!?

Why do my text messages keep disappearing in IOS 5 on my 3GS?

I have an iPhone 3GS that i have updated to IOS 5 and lost all my old text messages that i had kept from 2007 which really annoyed me but what is even more annoying is that my current messages keep disappearing. If i am in an app and get a notification saying i have recieved a text and click on the notification the new text message isn't in my inbox. This keeps happening and it is getting rather annoying because i can't reply to people as i can't read their original message.
Any ideos how i can fix this...

For some reason iphone can only store 15MB of text messages (75,000), if you have that much already it is full and you won't be able to receive incoming text message until you free some space. If all that text message is important to you then I'd find a way to transfer those into your computer by using a third party program (google it). Or just take a screenshot of all your text messages and e-mail them to your computer.

HELP! My footage keeps disappeared, and I am not deleting it!

Yesterday I was editing a 60+ min TV show and somehow, while zoomed in to a certain part of the timeline, the rest of my footage disappeared. I did not notice, because I was not fully expanded to view my entire timeline. All of the footage following the clips I was working with, disappeared. It has done this 2 more times. Footage keeps disappearing!
I was wondering if there is possibly some key I am accidentally pressing, that is making Final Cut do this? Or if it is some sort of bug, and if so, why it is suddenly acting up? I keep all of the episode in one project, on multiple sequences, and have never had this problem before.
Everything will be fine. I'll zoom in, re-edit a couple of clips, and zoom out to find more than half my footage just gone.
Someone help!

Tom,
Do you mean my clips or *the* timeline? Yes, the timeline is "gray" as usual. Clips are normal. I'll attach a screen shot anyway, though I don't think it will help much. Everything looks normal, aside from the fact that a lot of footage is missing, which you won't be abe to tell.

Thanks. I don't know why it wouldn't just go back there when I tried putting it back? I didn't change anything, so I assumed the new "default" was over on the left. Glad it was a simple solution after all.

My login.keychain keeps disappearing...Help!

Tough one here I think...
My login.keychain keeps disappearing. Has done about 6 times in the last two days. It takes all my passwords and preferences with it. Every time I repair or replace the keychain it acts fine for a while. The I launch an application that looks up a password and it happens again.
I need help for my sanity. %P
Jazqas

Hi, Jazqas.
1. Do you mean the file is actually gone, or is it that apps keep requesting access to the keychain?
2. Files that go missing unexpectedly can indicate a corrupted disk directory. As a general checkup, I suggest you run the procedure outlined in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
3. Have you been using the Reset Safari function of Safari? Do not use "Reset Safari" unless you are prepared to lose all Internet passwords saved in your keychain.
"Reset Safari" is primarily intended for clearing personal information that may have been saved while using a public Internet terminal running Safari. While it can be used as a Safari troubleshooting action of last resort, it was not designed with that intent and one should backup their keychain first. See the AppleCare Knowledge Base document “Safari 2.0 Help: Resetting Safari.” Unfortunately, Reset Safari cannot be undone.
Good luck!

My disc space is constantly disappearing. We keep deleting files, but the space we gain keeps disappearing again. Please help.

Our disc space keeps disappearing. We keep deleting files just to keep the computer running, but the space we gain keeps disappearing. I had 10gigs of space less than a week ago, and today I have less than 1. We are not downloading anything. Whatever it is, is in the "other" category, which is currently over 113gigs and growing.

Do you use Time Machine? Have a read here:
http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html
FWIW, having only 10 GB of space is inviting disaster - 10 - 15 GB is to be considered an absolute minimum which the OS needs to function properly; more is much better. The disk space will change dynamically as the system reads/writes to disk constantly, every time you do anything (look at a picture, edit it, type a letter, etc).
