HT1343 the numeric pad is switched off after pressing the option key 5 times; could that be prevented?

after working in Photoshop, where I press the option key a lot, the right side [numeric board] is switched off.
I wish to  prevent that not so handy action bij Apple

The I/O error normally indicates that the hard drive got damaged. Make a backup of your data with Carbon Copy Cloner or Time Machine and take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller. Also, you can install the hard disk yourself, buying the hard drive at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/

    i am having major issues! this does not work i dont understand..does the ipod have to be off while pressing the buttons if so how is it possible if it is connected to the computer either way it turns on..and when i tried these steps while the ipod was on it still doesnt  work it just asks me “slide to power off” please someone help me i just cant seem to put my ipod in DFU mode

    To get the iPod in recovery mode and DFU mode you first have to turn the iPod off.
    Just what is the problem you are tying to resolve?
    Sometimes you have to let the battery fully drain if you can't turn the iPod off. After charging for at least hour try again.

  • The "mac book" pro turns off after performing the internet recovery

    we had the macbook pro and we put in a new hard drive and when we press the power button it turns on and has a flashing file qith a question mark on it and we did the internet recovery thing but after its done it just turns off again. please help

    The battery has an integrated microchip that acts as a "fuel gauge." Calibration resets this gauge, which allows the OS to better determine times to charge and discharge the battery. Calibration should be done approximately every two months. Failure to do so for a long period of time can result in the microchip "fuel gauge" in the battery losing the ability to accurately determine the remaining charge, and it will report that there is more charge in the battery than is actually present. As a result, the computer will not initiate Safe Sleep at the proper time, and instead undergo a hard shut down, one of the main causes of hard drive directory damage.

  • My phone switches off after showing horizontal lines on the screen during the restore process and then shows the error 9 problem. please help i am so stressed.

    Hello
    My iphone  4S switches off after showing horizontal lines on the screen cutting through the apple logo during the restore process and then right after my iTunes shows the error 9 message, this happened 2 days ago when my phone just switched off unexpectedily and has been in this recovery mode since then. i have watched videos on Youtube and i have disabled Firewall before starting the process, i think i have done almost everything. please help anyone what do i do from here?
    Just for interest sake i watched this video on youtube where this guy had the same problem  but the difference is that he had it on an iPad. he opened the ipad up and did something on the ipad, it took less than a minute then his ipad worked.
    I would appreciate it if someone would respond to this as fast as they can i am so stressed.

  • Using the Cyclops speed camera app, the sound on my iPhone 4s switches off after a few minutes. Any ideas?

    when using the Cyclops speed camera app the sound on my iPhone 4s switches off after a short while. If I close the app and reopen it, there's still no sound. If I restar the phone and open Cyclops I get sound "welcome to Cyclops" or whatever the greeting is. Has anyone got any ideas?

    I've taken several Express devices apart in the past to experiment with them. The internal components warm up quite a bit in the first 10-15 seconds. They continue to heat up after this.  It takes 3-4 minutes or so before the heat transfers to the outer case for dissipation.
    Nothing is certain, but I'm 95% sure that this is your issue.  But, trying to find a microscopic break in a circuit board trace is, as I mentioned, a real longshot. If you have the time and have done things like this before, it might be worth a shot.
    I guess the bottom line is that even if this is not the issue, the device will still need to be replaced since Apple does not offer repairs. There are no software or firmware fixes for somthing like this.

  • Has anyone had the "equals" key in the numeric pad stop working since installing the Boot Camp 3.3 update

    Has anyone had the "equals" key in the numeric pad stop working since installing the Boot Camp 3.3 update?

    I have been an ardent user of aperture for years now and got used to the great workflow. Ever since version 1 I have been enjoying working with aperture. It is the workflow that kept me from changing.
    I got a new MacPro 12 GB ram, 4TB HDD my library mostly indexed files sits on a raided 2TB for maximum of comfort. I did this in an effort to keep me from writing the posts I writing lately. I do not have the time rally to do this but reality is something different.
    Today I am working on a job I need to finish quickly and in aperture workflow manner. So I switched to full screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen mode and after pressing 'H' for the HUD my screen started flickering. please look at the video I posted in my flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mawas/4719742585/
    Now this is the second time this happened in a short time after I got a new mac and upgraded to 10.6.4! After the screen had jammed up : http://gallery.me.com/masuwa/100103 I needed to hard boot my mac I am getting nervous!

  • TS3274 My ipad does not go off, even after pressing the off button for minutes and re set. What could I do next?

    My Ipad does not go off again, even after pressing the off button and re set, what can I do to switch the I pad off.

    Try a reset a few more times.
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.
    Data will not be affected.

  • How do I stop my MacBook clearing the icons off the desktop when I switch off

    How do I stop my MacBook clearing the icons off the desktop when I switch off the machine?

    Hi Matt
    After I create say a word document, file it on my desktop and then shut down my machine. The next time I open up the MacBook the file icon has been removed from the desktop. I can still retrieve the file in a folder labeled with the month I created it. But why has the OS removed it from the desktop and how can I stop it happening?
    It happens to alias icons as well!

  • IPod Nano (4th Generation) switches on when connected to USB power - shows Menu & hangs (unresponsive to click wheel) - deems off after 5-sec - Switches off after disconnecting from USB Power - syncs with iTunes - Tried 5R's - Problem still persists

    1. The iPod Nano (4th Generation - 8GB) switches on, only when connected to USB power by showing apple logo and displays Menu options thereafter..
    2. However, I can not access Menu as it is unresponsive to click wheel. As a result it is inaccessible to any further use, 
    3. NOTE: it displays "Battery Fully charged" icon on the screen without any "Lock" icon.
    4. After  5-sec to 10-secs the screen deems off.. i.e. goes to sleep mode.. And thereafter would probably remain like that (sleeeping) for eternity!!!!
    5. It Switches off after WITHOUT DISPLAYING any Apple Logo immediately after disconnecting from USB Power.
    6. In other words, it can be switched on only through USB power in spite of battery being fully charged.
    7. Interestingly, it syncs with iTunes. It is recognised in iTunes (Latest version 11+).. Displays on screen all commands Like.. syncronising, connecting, connected,
    8. Allows to add Music, videos like a normal ipod & displays all status information in iTunes.
    9. Read Trobleshooting & Tried all 5R's. Registered, Resetted, updated & Restored to iOS 1.0.2
    10. It is now displaying to select Language in place of Menu options, with no access through click wheel, centre button whatsoever... Problem still persists
    KINDLY GUIDE ME THE SOLUTION. APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE in advance...

    "I get the feeling that this is a software issue that could probably be solved quite easily"
    Since you have already tried all the normal troubleshooting solutions, take the iPod to your nearest Apple Store for a *proper diagnosis.* The staff there will be able to confirm if your problem is software or hardware _*at no cost to you.*_

  • Is there a possibility to switch off in Firefox the functionality of quick launch key (additional key in laptop) that cause to run the homepage

    Dear Support,
    Is there a possibility to switch off in Firefox the functionality of quick launch key (additional key in laptop) that cause to run the homepage. I would like to switch this functionality off, because the key is malfunctioned and always pressed. I was able to switch off the functionality of this key in Windows system by deleting entries in registry Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey. After this change, when somebody works in system the Firefox is not running is not launching all the time. But when I open the Firefox the setting in system is overwritten and when I am using it Firefox returns to the homepage instantly. I think because of this quick launch button. I tried to change settings in about:config like browser.startup.homepage, browser.startup.homepage_override, startup.homepage_override_url,… this is for Firefox version is 10.0.2
    Thank you
    Best Regards

    Hi,
    Thank you for your interesst.
    This internet button key is one of buttons located above the keyboard near the power button. What I have achieved to this moment was to stop it functionality in the system by clearing the entries in the fields Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\17\ShellExecute and entry
    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\7\Association that was http
    After these changes in registry the behavior of the button was suppressed, the Firefox stopped to start unexpectedly all the time – so in system it works. But the problem is still when I have opened Firefox. Every time when you want to surf in internet – the homepage is activated also unexpectedly. I wrote this post with intention to ask if there is a possibility to switch off the functionality of this quick launch button in Firefox. Because I assume Firefox overrides the system setup – this I have made in registry. I tried with some option changes in about:config but without success. And I know that for older versions of firefox was some option in about:config do disable_quick launch button. But in 10.0.2 I couldn't locate it.
    Thank you
    Regards

  • Optical audio in Lion switches off after 30 seconds

    I have a new iMac 27" Computer purchased November 2010 with Snow Leopard on. I have upgraded to Lion OS the day it came out.
    When I started using it, I noticed that the Optical steam (red beam) would switch off after roughly 30 seconds. I researched this issue and found that OS X powers down the Sound Hardware after 30 seconds if not used, as it is fine under Bootcamp with Windows 7.
    So I used a program called Sound 1.0,1 to stop the Optical connection switching off, by playing a silent sound every 20 seconds. But now Lion does not support PowerPC programs by Rosetta, so am back to the original problem, that if the hardware has switched off, I miss the first 2 or 3 seconds of the start of the audio, like Skype announcing that some has signed in / out or on MSN as a message notification.
    Any ideas to sort this annoying problem be most grateful.
    Peter

    Thanks for your help Andrew.
    Have tried that and seems to be working at the mo (touch wood). See how it goes.
    Can't tell you what a difference it is compared to the monitors speakers.
    Thanks Again

  • Muvo N200 Switches off after 1 tr

    I'm experiencing a very very irritating problem with my player. It just switches off after playing single track. This problem only surfaced after using for approximately for 2 - 3 months. The other irritating part is that I couldn't access Recovery Mode and thus could not do any firmware upgrade, etc. Anyone can help me on this issue or must I return to Creative to have it RMA ? Thnx

    Not if you don't have any problems with .2.0.
    Some people will like .5.0 because it gives support for 3 levels of sub-folders which then allows sync with WMP0. But it also changes the volume scale which others don't like!

  • Switch off after 20%

    Hi ,
    For the last two days, i m facing this issue,  my iphone4S switch off after battery level goes just below 20%. I need to charge it again to switch ON the mobile.
    I have upgraded to iOS 6.1.2 two weeks back. Can anyone please help me, your help will be highly appreciated.

    Try fully discharging (until it shuts off) and then fully recharging (don't unplug until 100%) to recalibrate the battery meter.  You may need to do this a few times.

  • My ipad atomatically gets switched off after every 5 mins

    From first day only my ipad atomatically gets switched off after every 5 mins and then atomatically gets on after 2-3 mins. is it a hardware problem or some problem in settings? if anybody knows the solution then please let me know....

    Is this a brand new iPad2. Did you notice this occurring before you started adding apps? Is this is occurring if you do not have any apps you have started running either active or in the background?
    If you have already tried powering off the device, you can try to do a hard reset (Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider, let go of the buttons.) and see how it runs without starting any apps.
    I do not have instructions for doing a restore but that is the only other step that I think of that you can take to resolve a software based problem.
    If you are still seeing the behavior after trying most or all of the above, I  would suggest taking it in or returning it for service.
