HT4650 My keyboard has stopped working after an update of Flash Player. Help! What can I do?

Why has my keyboard stopped working after Flash Player update?

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Do things work in Safe Mode?

I can't connect to Wi-Fi - keeps timing out. No problem connecting from other laptops / phones. Stopped working after I did a system upgrade. What can I do?

I can't connect to Wi-Fi - keeps timing out. No problem connecting from other laptops / phones. Stopped working after I did a system upgrade. What can I do? I am on OS X Yosemite.

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wireless router.
Step 1
Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
Step 2
Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 3
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 4
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 5
In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
Step 6
Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 7
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 8
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 9
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

Personas has stopped working after Windows updates. Halp! How do I get personas to start working again?

Personas was working just fine. A few days ago there was a Windows update (somewhere along the lines of 20 updates). Both our Vista laptop AND our 7 Desktop were updated and now personas doesn't work on either computer . . . with the exception of one user account on the desktop. <--- which is weird, huh?
We are perplexed. When we mouse over a persona, the font color changes but the picture doesn't. When we wear a new persona again, ''only'' the font color changes but the picture doesn't. It seems to be 'stuck' on whatever our current persona is on the computer. I also tried uninstalling personas and rebooting and . . . the persona picture was still on the computer. More weirdness. I re-downloaded personas after this but the problem persists.
I've searched and searched and can't find anything on this. My best guess is that it has something to do with one of the Windows updates as several of them were security updates ... but this is only a guess on my part.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know what other information I can provide to try and resolve this problem.
Oh, both machines are running the current versions of Java and Adobe flash. We are running on Firefox 3.6.17 on both laptop and desktop.

Anyone else experiencing this problem? Anyone have any ideas/suggestions on what to look for to try and resolve this? Thx.

Airprint has stopped working after software update

I installed new updated software to Photosmart plus e-all in one model B210a (firmware TAL1FN1207AR) yesterday and now my ios devices will not print. I can see the printer, can send the print job, but it never arrives at the printer. In the Print Center of the ios device, it shows status of "printing" but it never changes and no print output happens. The printer is working fine from network pcs. I have tried powering down the printer and restarting, but that made no change. The ios devices are running ios 5.1.1. This has not been a problem until I installed the new HP software on the printer. My rounter is a LInksys WRT54G. Can anyone help me sort this out? Thanks.
This question was solved.

Hi jsw404,
Have you tried rebooting the router? If not, I would take these steps: Turn off your device, printer and router. Bring the router online first, giving it 30-45 seconds to boot up. Then turn on your printer, and then your mobile device. See if this resolves your issue.

ISync has stopped working after software update

iSync does not start anymore. The icon bounces for a short time, but the application itself will not run. The advice in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1476343&tstart=0 did not help.
This first occurred today after installing the 10.5.3 OS update and its surrounding updates.
Anyhow, I figured out a workaround to make it start: Open the iSync package in the finder folder "programs" and double click the iSync program in the directory "Contents/MacOS/".
But this is not how the update wanted it to be, right? ;o)
Does anybody know what happened and how to cure it?

My keyboard has stopped working. How do I fix it?

Hello!
Today I got back to work after my summer vacation and for some reason my keyboard has stopped working.
I tried with my collegues keyboard but that didn't work either.
The keyboard works if I give my virtual machine in Parallels direct access to it, but not in OSX so it's probably not a hardware issue. (This is how I am writing this)
The caps-lock light works even when connected to osx. Mouse works perfectly in osx.
I am running 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro 2x2.8ghz xeon 12gb RAM.
Any ideas?
Thanks a bunch!
/Hannes

I upgraded to Mountainlion and the problem not only persisted, but also worsened.
Any button I pressed, it restarted.
I have removed a couple of apps I had installed, for example Double Command which I think might have been the culprit, and now the computer works fine again.
Big relief!

HT2452 my imac keyboard has stopped working? help!!!

my imac keyboard has stopped working??? help!!!!!

My keyboard just stopped working out of the clear. One minuet OK next it was dead. No little green light at all. New batteries did not help.
FIXED THE PROBLEM! I took a small piece of aluminum, made a little ball out of it and dropped it down the tube where the batteries go. Replaced the batteries I had just used......little green light comes on and the the keyboard functions like always.
My guess is after a few years the contacts oxidize a bit and don't make contact with the batteries on the bottom of the tube. Give it a try.

The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working.

The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working. I've already done a soft reset, hard reset, and restored it to a new device. What else can I do?

When you are using other applications, or just on the home screen, does that area of the screen respond to touch?
Steps to resolve issue (I understand you have done what you have but it's always good to try again):
Clean the iPhone screen with the cleaning cloth that came in the box with the iPhone.
Do not wear gloves while using the touchscreen. Do not use the touchscreen with wet hands or immediately after applying hand lotion. Moisture affects touchscreen behavior in the same manner as it affects a trackpad.
If you have a protective plastic sheet or film on the touchscreen, try removing it because it may be preventing the touchscreen from working properly.
The current application may not be responding (frozen), press and hold the Home button below the screen for a least six seconds, until the application you were using quits.
If that doesn't work, turn the iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the iPhone for few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't work, reset the iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement, if necessary, even if your iPhone is out of warranty. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the iPhone Service FAQ.
Tip: If you are going to take your iPhone into a Apple Retail Store for evaluation, follow these steps to help the Mac Genius understand where your touch screen is experiencing unresponsiveness.
Open the basic calculator application to test all but the top row of the screen. Press each button on the calculator and verify activity.
To test the area at the top of the screen, rotate the iPhone to change to the scientific calculator and press all the buttons in the left two rows. (An original iPhone must have iPhone 2.0 software installed to access the scientific calculator feature.)
To test the touchscreen function at the top of the screen of an original iPhone without the iPhone 2.0 software, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. If the slider does slide, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears to turn iPhone on again.
