How to fix issues with with keyboard input on JB?

Hi,
My firefox stops accepting keyboard input on websites input fields. This happens EVERY time after 1 or 2 visited wbsites. It does not matter what keyboard I use (android native or any market downloadable keyboard). The address bar input works just fine btw.
My os version is JellyBean 4.2.1 and the issue was since JB 4.1. I use ff on all my devices and the sync option is very handy ... but on my tablet and phone I have this issue and I am being forced to use chrome :(
I have seen a lot of people complaining about this. Could you please fix this? I could run some debug versions to help tracking this issue if necessary.
Thanks

Try Firefox beta version

How to fix a problem with my book pro that has a gray screen with a folder with a question mark on it

does any one know how to fix a problem with my book pro that has a gray screen with a folder with a question mark on it?

Hello Mokhtary123 and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
It will help us diagnose your problem to know the exact model, size, year built, RAM installed and OS you're running.
But basically your system can't find the boot disk. Usually this is a symptom of a dead/dying/corrupted hard drive;

How to fix Flashing Folder with Question Mark on Mac

RichardEL is probably correct. I’ll go through your questions.
> there is no Mac OS partition, I assume it would be directly underneath the HD on the left?
I have not seen this particular condition where the hardware disk icon appears but the system volume that is supposed to be below it does not. The System Disk partition would be below the HD icon indented to the right. It is usually called “Macintosh HD” unless you renamed it.
> when I go into disk utility my HD appears on the left, but I can repair or verify it
Odd. It appears but you cannot manipulate it with Disk Utility.
> The S.M.A.R.T status reads verified
If it did not say Verified then it would indicate a problem. Saying Verified does not rule out problems but I think it indicates it is still breathing.
> Is the HD deceased?
If you booted the Recovery Partition (Boot, Command-R), which it sounds like you did, then at least part of the disk is still breathing. If it took a long time to boot then that may have been a Network Recovery boot which would indicate the disk is very sick or dead.
> [If I] restore from time machine [will] everything will be back as it was before?
Yes. That is the beauty of Time Machine. All your data, applications, and system preferences will be as they were as of the last backup.
> I was thinking of erasing the HD, would this be of any help or do I just need a new one?
Given what you reported from the Disk Utility steps you took it is unclear to me if there will be a way to repair the current volume, if you can erase and install from scratch or if you need a new disk. Before proceeding it may be useful to have an expert at an Apple store look at it for you. They may be able to revive it without a clean install or new disk.
As was the case above, it could be a good disk with a bad cable in which case a new disk is not going to help. To test this you can purchase an inexpensive external enclosure, remove the internal disk, place it in the enclosure, plug it in and then use Boot-Option to attempt to boot from the now external disk. Here are links to the screwdrivers and enclosure you would need.
$5 Toolkit: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/TOOLKITMHD/
$22 USB 3.0 enclosure: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/ES2.5BU3W/
If you attempt a clean install, use the Partition tab to repartition the disk, selecting one partition and with “Options…” electing a GUID partition. Then use the Erase tab, select “Security Options…” and set it to write a single pass of zeros. This will write to every sector to map out bad blocks. (If you have an SSD do not write a pass of zeros.)
If you do need to replace it I recommend an new inexpensive (~$100) and super-fast hybrid SSHD drive that has an 8 GB SSD cache that makes the data fly. Google “Seagate 1 TB hybrid SSHD”.

How to fix Issues related to the keyboard on my Equium A100-147

Hi there.
I have a notebook which is of the above Toshiba series and I have a problem with the keyboard.
Some of the key's are malfunctioning. For e.g when i stroke @ symbol I get " and when i stroke " I get @.
There are many keys like this which behaves differently (#,|) etc. How I can I fix these issues so that the keyboards can be used effectively?

Hi
Don't panic man ;) This is not a problem dude.
You get different or wrong signs on the display because the keyboard layout does not match with the keyboard language setting in the regional and language options in the control panel.
Please check this settings and change to another language; maybe from US to UK

Best way to do video with MIDI keyboard input

A year or so ago I bought a TASCAM digital interface (US-144), good mike and a Yamaha P-70. Used this setup with GarageBand 08 with great success to produce female voice lead over MIDI piano. Also recently checked out iMovie 09 to produce a YouTube video using only an audio file and iPhoto pictures with Ken Burns effect.
Now I want to find the best way to produce a video of a piano performance using the MIDI input, rather than the recorded audio. Should I pursue iMovie or GarageBand, and if GarageBand (09), biggest question is how to get video that is synched correctly with the MIDI input. I could use the built-in cam on my MacBook Pro 13" for starters just to see if it worked. Suggestions appreciated.

say i took just the vocal from a track (lionel all
night long for example) and the instrumental just
music from like queen and in logic put the vocal over
the instrumental and created my own lionel/queen
remix how would i get the video to sync with that
when i came to fcp?know its a case of cuting and
editing it but if my vocal had to have been its tempo
increased to fit the instrumental in fcp i would have
to speed the video up to get it in sync?
sorry scott, you really need to spell things out like this for the middle-agers on the board like me. i don't know about the integration with logic but i would assume there's a way to use a timecode-based timeline instead of a beats-based timeline? base your clips on timecode and fcp can speed adjustments to it's clips up to a point. you may need to look for something like twixtor.
there are more knowledgeable folk here that have far more comprehensive knowledge on this than i and hopefully they'll contribute their voices.

How to fix underscan problem with footage

I am trying to help a friend fix a problem with some footage he shot. A client was standing in front of a painted matte. The footage was shot,(and cannot be re-shot) and once back in the studio he found that a the edge of the matte that is not painted is showing up beyond the TV safe area. It can be seen on a computer screen and if shown thru a projector. The viewfinder of his camcorder did not show this problem.
So how can we fix it? It is a narrow band of white on the left side of the screen. The problem is that part of some leaves cross over it and out of frame. We have tried just simply scaling it up to get beyond the white edge but the picture quality begins to degrade. We have to fix this using FCP since that is all that is available to us. The clip is fairly long so we probably won't have the time to fix it in Photoshop.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
He is using FCP4.5 on a dual processor G5.
Thanks!
Ymir

The cropping would leave a black bar. Something I was thinking about doing has cropping involved. I thought about duplicating the clip and stacking it over the original clip. Then crop it as suggested and then scaling the clip underneath and apply a Gausian blur. This would eliminate the white edge. Problem is, I have a hard line where the cropping took place. If there was some way to just feather the left edge of the crop.
My friend thinks some type of masking needs to take place where we could just re-color the white bar but as of yet we haven't discovered how to go about it.
Thanks for the suggestion,
Ymir

How to fix computer freeze with external USB drive attached

Hi, My computer has frozen a few times lately when my external drive was hooked in, mostly to upload music to Itunes on my MacBook Air. Anyone know what's happening and how to fix it?
Thanks
Peggy ;~)

the image isnt just 1 big file
its got a bunch of files
som .ini configuration files here and there
the trick is to find which files controls the directory to start loading from
and change the waiting for f:
to waiting for anything else
external ODD, flash drive, or anything other than the internal ODD cuz its broken
the files on the disc are
recovery disc+
.....boot+
..............fonts
..............bcd
..............boot.sdi
...................eftsboot.exe
......efi+
.................microsoft+
...................................boot+
..............................................font s
.................................................. ......bcd
.....HDDPREP+
............................boot
............................sources
............................bootmgr
......HTMPREP+
...........................readme.html

....06466XSP4.SWM
....06466XSP5.SWM
....06466XV1.CRC
....bootmgr
....Setenv.ini
im know im not super computer expert but as far as my knowledge goes its probably 1 of thos xxx.ini files cuz usually contain settings and stuff like that
they are easy to open with notepad and easy to just change one of them and burn a new disc with the corrected file
i just need someone to help me figure out which one to change and what to change it to the rest is easy

How to fix the mouse and keyboard freezing when installing Windows 7 on 27' iMac late 2013?

Hi, I have a question for u guys who can solve this.
I recently bought the new 27' iMac late 2013, and I installed some softwares and used it for few days.
Before I bought this I used the 15' Macbook Pro Retina, I installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, and I used the Windows for gaming.
So back to my question.
So I bought the new iMac and I was tying to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (with the same CD).
After dividing the partition, and other stuff, the iMac rebooted and I hold down the option (alt) key. I choose the Windows CD, and it said it is "getting ready to install Windows". I let it load, and the blue screen where you choose the language, time/location and keyboard input popped up. At the bottom right corner (at the same page), there is a button that said "Next (N)" which u need to click it to go to the next step. I was moving my mouse to click the button, but I realized that my mouse and keyboard was frozen. I tried both wireless and wired mouse and keyboard but they didn't work. There was nothing I could do. I hold the power button, (that was the only option) and tried my mouse and keyboard on Mac OS and it worked fine.
I thought something went wrong in the CD so I bought the Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. The result was same. It frizzed again. (I just wast few hundred $)
Latter my friend lend me his Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit. I tried it, and it worked, it didn't freezed on Windows 8.
The problem is I played Battlefield 4, Titan fall, and Watch Dogs, and Battlefield 4 multiplayer doesn't work on Windows 8.1. Even though when it works on Windows 8, I prefer using Windows 7.
Dose anyone knows how to fix this freezing thing?
My computer is:
27' iMac late 2013 (bought it just few days ago)
I did no upgrades when I bought it, except the graphic card.
I bought the iMac in Korean Apple Store, and my Windows CD is in Korean, can that be a problem?
Please leave a comment when u think u can solve my problem.

See -> http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf.
In addition to the Windows disc (or USB flash drive with the Windows installer) you'll need a 8GB+ flash drive.
The referenced manual - on page 3, I think, gives you a run-down of what you'll need before you begin the installation. You may also want to post any further Boot Camp questions in the Boot Camp forum -> https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp.
Good luck,

Recovery Disk Error : cannot read from source file or disk HOW TO FIX ISSUE

I have had my satellite L655-S5096 for some time now.. I had to switch out hard-drives the other day and installed windows 7 home on it from my own disk. I tried to download all the drivers needed, but the graphics and wifi drivers never worked, so I pulled out the old toshiba disks to start from new with this harddrive.. It gets to asking me for the second disc, then the second disc gives me the the "cannot read from source file or disk PREINST8.SWM" This is from the "out of the box" setting, which is recommended. I do not know how to fix this issue besides reinstalling windows 7 from my disc and trying to get the drivers to work again.. however I shouldn't have to since I have the Toshiba recovery disks.. do I need new disks?
Yes, I also had the hard drive drivers and all of that installed.. my toshiba reads the HDD just fine.
~Drew

Satellite L655-S5096
Downloads here.
the second disc gives me the the "cannot read from source file or disk PREINST8.SWM"
My best guess is that the disc is not readable. Try copying it to another. Sometimes that works.
Otherwise, order new discs from Toshiba.
