How to resume by pressing some key on the keyboard or mouse?

Hello, I have a usb keyboard and mouse. When I go into S3 sleep mode (suspend to ram), I can resume by pressing the power button. However I would like to resume by pressing some button on the mouse or on the keyboard. This works in windows, so from a hardware perspective this should be possible. Is it possible to 'arm' the keyboard and/or mouse such that they can bring my computer out of sleep mode?

Hi
FelixRaven,
We wonder if there is any luck your problem has been resolved.
since still no similar cases have been reported recently. As S.Sengupta suggested, you could perform a system restore for good measure.
if your issue persists, please ensure if there is third-party software or service interruption. You could refer to Clean Boot to achieve it:

Beyond that, this issue can also be caused by the ACPI of your BIOS. If the issue still occurs in Clean Boot, I suggest you upgrade the BIOS.
Best regards,

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I have a mac book pro but I'm sing some keys from the keyboard

How can't I get my Keyboard replace?

Hi. Are you saying that you are missing some keys on the MBP? If the keys are missing, but the keyboard works ,then all you need is the missing keys. If you know what keys are missing you can buy them on Ebay and replace them Look at or look up keyboard for your MBP and write down what keys you need. Here is a link that shows how this is done. http://www.insidemylaptop.com/how-to-repair-damaged-key-on-macbook-pro-keyboard/ This most likely cheaper than replacing the entire keyboard.

I accidently knocked some keys on my keyboard. I do not know which keys my hand knocked but it caused Firefox to go beyond my visible screen at the top. The base of Firefox is still okay and views correctly. But the head is missing I cannot access my menus items such as Bookmarks etc. The screen does drop down if I push my curser up but not enough to show the menu items. Can you please help?

Thank you for your help - this definitely sorted it out!

Using Lion, you cannot de-select the short cuts in System Preferences?

Adobe Reader X closes when I press any key in the keyboard.

Hello,
I have recently updated my windows from xp to 7 and installed the latest version of adobe reader. Then I encountered a problem, after some time using my PC, Adobe Reader would close whenever I touched any key in my keyboard, but not on my mouse, so I could only view pdf files by moving around using the mouse, and loss funcionalities like searching for a word in the document, or saving it with a different name. The only way to solve this problem was to restart my PC, and then everything would be allright for a while, then the problem happened again. I uninstalled and installed Adobe again, however this problem persists, so I'm seeking help here.
There is another thread with the same problem here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/901383, however it's dead and no solution is presented.
Any help would be great, regards from Chle.

I answer myself, solution is here http://forums.adobe.com/message/3806894#3806894, it took me a while to find it though.

Some keys on the keyboard are not working on my Qosmio F60

Hi,
I had my laptop 2 years now and never had any problems before but recently some of the keys on my laptop keyborad are not working like fn key, i, e, r, t, y, u, ,i, o, = etc. Curently I am using an external keyborad to overcome this problem. I did a complete reinstall but problem still persits.
Can you please suggest where the problem might be. It is very confusing as some keys are working fine but some are not.

>Can you please suggest where the problem might be.
In my opinion problem is defective keyboard. As you can see complete OS reinstallation didnt change anything. It must be hardware related issue.
Sorry but I think keyboard must be replaced.

How can I setup a macro that types a special character when I press a key on the keyboard?

I have an aplication where I am unable to insert a tilde (~) by pressing alt+Ñ. (I have a spanish keyboard) The only way this app lets my input a tilde, is by copying and pasting it in, which is extremely annoying and time consuming.
Is there any way I can setup a script in Automator, or by any other means, that will automatically insert a tilde whenever I press a single key, such as a Function key? Or maybe I can make it so that whenever I type 'tilde' it will replace that with ~ ? I already tried using a keyboard shortcut (below) but it did not work.

Hello,
In order to achieve this, please use the Slideshow widget in which Thumbnails are not shown.
And enable to "Next" button in the widget. Now expand that Next button container to cover the target image area.
Now when you click on the image, it will click the Next button container and it will move to the next image.
Please have a look at the short video I just created which might be helpful : http://trainingwebcom.worldsecuresystems.com/SachinFTP/2013-07-23_2324.swf

You may have this sorted out by now - but if not try resetting your Language to English. I had the issue and found the emoji keyboard was set to spanish.

How can labview update the string control (text-edit box) after we have pressed the carriage return key on the keyboard during text-editing within that box?

Dear readers,
I have been trying to work out how to get labview to detect the event when a 'string' control has been modified, where the user has finished editing the string either by 1) pressing the enter key on the keyboard, or by 2) taking the focus away from the string control again. For example.. if I use the mouse to click on the string control and then I type 1234 into the box, I would like to have a routine that does something once the user hits the Enter key of the keyboard, or when the user takes the focus away from the string control again by clicking on something else. I would like the routine to respond even when the user didn't change anything in the text box (such as when we mouse-click on the edit box to go into edit mode, and then mouse-click on something else to remove the focus with no changes to the contents in edit-box).
The purpose of my routine is to have a edit-box for a user to change for example the centre-frequency of a vector network analyser, so that the centre-frequency of the network analyser can change once the user finishes entering a new value in the text-edit box by hitting Enter key after the number is keyed in. Even if the user has clicked on the edit box, but changes their mind by mouse-clicking on something else to remove focus from the edit box, I would still like labview to detect the event when the control loses focus, so that the centre frequency can be updated anyway (to the same value that was already in the edit box).
So far, I've tried set the string control option to 'limit to single line', so that I can try to scan for a carriage return .. '\n' ... pattern in the string. Unfortunately this doesn't work because labview doesn't seem to attach the '\n' to the end of that single line.
Could someone please suggest ways to set a flag when a user hits Enter during text-edit mode of a string control, or when focus has been removed from the string control?
While I've only described my problem for controlling a single control parameter on the gpib device, I'd like to make this feature work so that I can do the same kind of thing with other control parameters as well.
Thanks so much in advance.
Kenny

Hi Kenny,
instead of using the event structure, you can directly achieve to what you want by the KeyFocus property of the string control.
- Enable Limit to single line option
- Create the property KeyFocus in read mode and connect an indicator
Each time you click on the string to modify it KeyFocus is True; when you click away or hit Enter KeyFocus is False.
You can toggle your settings when KeyFocus changes from True to False.

Satellite A50 - Resume failure, press any key to continue

Hi
Every time my laptop goes to sleep doesn't wake up until I push power button twice. First to shut down and second to go on then I get this message:
Warning: Resume failure
press any key to continue
Please need help to solve this problem
Thanks

Usually bad drivers or a flat battery causes resume failure.
You could try a System Restore back to a date when Resume was working properly, and update the drivers for your USB Devices.
If thats no help, then maybe its time to backup your data and run Recovery from your Recovery Discs. Its good to do this once a year anyway to keep the system fresh and error free. Windows tends to become slow and errornous over time, due to power looses, viruses, badly written software etc..
