I cannot type 'o', 'l' and '.' while hold a SHIFT button

what should I do? I cannot type only 3 letter 'o', 'l' and '.' while holding a SHIFT button. (It's should be 'O', 'L' and '>') So I cannot type a UPPER CASE of the 3 button. I cannot type in my language too. It works sometime but very slow to response. I have to press more than 3 times to get it work. And also my keyboard battery is full 100%.

First check (perhaps with the aid of a friend's computer) whether your keyboard works with another computer ... or if your computer works properly with your friend's keyboard. That will isolate the problem.
Then read the link here which contains some answers to similar problems. Let us know what happens.

My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control.

My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control key.

Scratch the post above - the musics that plays in the playlist also plays in the library and that is because i forgot that i imported from the cd yesterday. Basically, I see the rest of my music, but it doesnt' play and tells me it can't locate the file though the location in 'perferences' points to the correct location. Getting iTunes to play after a new computer or rebuild is a headache.

I cannot type a capital i using the left shift key. also keyboard now putting the cursor in a different place than where i type. Checked speech keys, all fine. Batteries fine.

wireless mouse will suddenly scroll down horizontally and won't stop. when i am on a webpage it will bounce back to the previous page without my doing so. i have tried adjusting the mouse several times, turning it on and off, and now am using my wacom mouse which also seems to have issues with this computer. i have only had this a few months and getting very frustrated.

Can you try a different keyboard to see if the problem persists? Also, you have 90 days of phone support when you buy a mew mac.

Prevent form/timer hanging while holding the minimize button

I got troubles when the customers holding the minimize button (without release) on my form, it make all forms and all timers/controls entirely hanging. And thus make some exception bugs for my application.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior:
In Form1, create a Timer1 & Label1 and paste this code :
Public Class Form1
Public a As Long
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Timer1.Enabled = True
Timer1.Interval = 1
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
a = a + 1
Label1.Text = a
End Sub
End Class
Press F5 to run the application. You will see the number display on Label1 increase rapidly. Now try to hold the Minimize button and the timer will hang up, label1 stop increasing. Release the minimize button will make the timer resume increasing.
I want my timer and all controls in form still working while holding the minimize button. Is there any good resolution for my issue ?

various possible resolution. remove controlbox. remove text. draw text if wanted. draw controls. use system.timers.timer. system menu removed so no menu for move size minimize maximize close available.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.timers.timer(v=vs.110).aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=vb#code-snippet-1

Vector images not sizing proportionally even holding while holding down shift.

I use a Mac version 10.6.8 and Photoshop CS6.
When I copy and paste a vector image from Illustrator, the vector image is not be sized at 100%x 100%. It comes in at weird sizes like 100% x 98.33% (this is not consistent, it changes numbers). I have to go into the top to manually change it to 100%x100% while in Transform mode.
Also, after I change it to 100%x100% and try to scale by holding shift down, it will change again.
I'm not sure what's happening. I've been using Photoshop for quite a few years so it's not a beginner problem.
Does anyone know if there's an update to fix this problem or am I missing some setting somewhere?
Thank you.

Dr.
Simple to see if using default settings (ie Snap vector Tools is checked)
• create new file 400 x 400 px
• draw out rectangle shape, about 150 x 75 px
• go Edit>Transform Path>Scale
• now hold down Shift key as you scale shape. Look at the Width and Height percentages in the option bar as you scale. You'll notice they vary from each other. Slightly. This is different behavior in CS6 than previous versions.
It is more noticeable in a low res file. High res files will show less variation.

After latest security update, cannot type capital "s" nor "w" using right shift key. Left one works fine...

I'm running Snow Leopard with the last week's update...
I see now cannot type several characters using the right shift key..
I tried to reboot - bad habit from windows era still no improvement...
how can I rollback to previous version of software?
or/ is there a solution to this problem

Is it all applications that these keys don't work?
Also is it a wired keyboard or bluetooth keyboard, either keyboard i'd suggest starting with resetting SMC (helps USB) and PRAM (helps Bluetooth)
Reset SMC
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Reset PRAM
Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If it's a USB keyboard i'd suggest trying a different USB port and restarting the computer, for a bluetooth keyboard i'd suggest removing the keyboard from Bluetooth Preferences and repairing the keyboard.

When I use the Norton Safe Search box in Firefox 3.6.19 the letters that I type group together and disappear behind the search button at the end of Norton Safe Search....any help?

I don't know how much more I can add...However, when I type in the Norton Safe Search box up to the search button in Norton Safe Search I can continue to type but I can't see what is being typed because it doesn't allow me to see the trailing end of what I'm typing. This along with the fact that the letters and words don't always automatically advance a space, they group together as I'm typing and I have to stop, provide a space and continue once again. This only happens in Mozilla Firefox, I'm using Firefox 3.6.19. This doesn't happen in the Norton Safe Search Box in Internet Explorer

Maybe another extension that you have installed is causing that problem with that Norton Safe Search add-on.
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes <br />
Disable all other extensions and see if Norton works correctly. <br />
I so, start enabling extensions one at a time until you find the culprit.
If not, create a new Profile and verify that Norton is the only extension that appears in the new Profile and see if it works correctly. <br />
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
If not, the problem is with the Norton add-on.

Why no caps while holding Shift Key?

I use several iMacs and MB Pros. In all but one, holding down the shift key will produce a string of capitalized letters, no need to use the caps lock key. Cannot make the deviant iMac ( 1 yr old, 10.5.8 ) give me caps by holding shift key down. Happens in all programs and using different Apple keyboards. Have made multiple adjustments in International and Universal Access with no success.
Would be easier to train the keyboard than to retrain my typing for this one computer.
Thanks ( <- typed while holding down shift key )

Hi
A bit of a blanket approach but try this:
Create an untitled folder on your desktop. Navigate to your /Home/Library/Preferences folder. Select everything, deselect com.apple.dock.plist and com.apple.mail.plist. Move everything else (not copy) to the newly created untitled folder. Make sure there's nothing left in the Preferences folder apart from those two files. Restart your mac. Do you have the problem now?
If you don't keep the untitled folder for a short while in case you need to move back a preference or .plist file. Generally you don't however launch all your usual favourites and see what's changed. If everything is as you remember or if what's missing is something easily replaceable (a preference for example) you should be able to safely trash the folder. If you're undecided burn it to CD/DVD and refer back to it if necessary.

Slow Motion while holding K won't work.

I've been having this problem for a couple weeks now and it's driving me nuts.
When I boot up, I can go through footage and while holding K, I can tap L or J to go forward and back one frame.
After an hour or two suddenly it stops working so whenever I hit J or L it starts playing back the footage at normal speed. It's as though I'm not even holding down K. Even if I shut down FCP this won't fix the problem until I re-boot. When I start up again it works for awhile then just stops for seemingly no reason.
Can anyone help me with this before I put the machine through the wall?
Thanks!

Hi there larryrd,

I can no longer copy multiple files by clicking on the first file and holding the shift key and clicking on the last file. This worked until recently. I must have hit the wrong button at some point

I have been able to copy multiple photos on my Mac Book Pro by selecting the first picture and then holding the shift key while I select the last picture. This highlights all the pictures and then I can use the copy command. Recently that ability to select multiple photos (or files) has stopped working. I can only guess that I hit a combination of buttons that caused this feature to stop working. Any ideas on how to get this working again.
Thanks - Mike

Your Template code is incomplete / corrupted.
That's why you can't edit it.
Try opening your .dwt file in a plain text editor like NotePad. Remove the editable regions from code. Save. Open in DW.
You will need to SaveAs Template (same name as the one used by your child pages). Add editable regions to match the ones in your child pages. Save.

Audition 3.0: playback/cutting while holding mouse button

Hi ! For a few years I was working on Audition 2.0. My disc crashed and I had to reinstall, then I heard from Adobe hotline that I have to install 3.0 now, becouse activation servers are shut down for ver. 2.0
OK, I did so.
Only one thing don't let me to work as in 2.0 version: when I hold right mouse button (moving coursor to find desired fragment of voice - I only edit voices so precision is very important for me), I can't, like in 2.0, cut or play. I have to release moue button to do it. When you used to do such movements for several years, you work like a robot almost and such change can be really annoying.
So please help !
Is it something with my computer or maybe it's one of changes in 3.0 version (no possibility of cuting/playing while holding right mouse button) ?

"This program is too expensive to have such an amateur limitation."
To help you, Eric.. this is a conclusion to the question the precedes it. I never blamed the program for my lack of knowledge. I wouldn't waste my time in a message board asking how to accomplish a task if I felt it was impossible.
And, Arrogance? The extent of my description was to prevent people from responding with suggestions I've already tried. The second response fixed the problem (not the first, mind you) so it seems my message suited the situation... and no others found the need to tell me I was the problem.
MY attitude is in response to YOUR arrogance. After asking a friendly question, you respond with the limitation only being mine, but there is also a limitation with the software. Contradictory? I see you have a reputation to uphold, and now understand the driver that came with Audition does have limitation. It's nice to see you have people that give you credit, because your posts merely tell me that (1) I don't know what I'm doing .. and (2) Yeah, Audition has the limitation you need help getting around.
Well thanks for your help. My first and last point is why you find the need to tell people they don't understand something, when that's clearly why they've come to you and your peers. You'd make a great firefighter -- showin' up with flashing lights, to deliver the news to people that they don't know how to work an oven.

Cannot type Capital "S"

I have a strange issue where I cannot type a capital letter "S" by using [Shift + S] unless I turn on the caps lock.
Any help out there?

Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether either the listening key or the speech key has become set to that keystroke; if so, change the setting.
