IMac constantly inputting text, even with keyboard unplugged etc

Hi guys,
Bought a second hand iMac (2012/21.5 Lion) and it's constantly inputting text. If I bring up a text program it usually looks like this '/////////////}}}]]]] pPPPPPPPPPPPP' completely random characters plus the volume is going up and down and the return key is being pressed. I've unplugged the mouse and keyboard and it is still doing it. Last night I decided to format the harddrive and reinstall OSX and it is still happening. I've reset the PRAM and tried everything I can think of but have run out of ideas,
Anyone had any experience with this, did you find a solution?
Many thanks.

In the end I wiped the whole thing and it seems to be behaving a little better now. It's no longer spitting out text and the mouse is working.
The wireless keyboard is still acting strange. Press the number 1 and it will actually type '1qz', press A and it types 'A', press B and it will be something like 'bsq'. For about 80% of the keys its adding two extra letters for everyone typed. It's always the same two letter depending on which key you type.
I've tried the keyboard and international settings and they seem fine.
Any ideas?

2008 24" 8800 GS 512MB iMac crashes / graphics glitches even with CD boot

Could it be my graphics card is bad on my iMac? It is a 2008 top end model with the 8800 GS 512MB card. I thought maybe my drive was going bad but since it is acting up even when I boot from my CD, I'm not sure...
- I've done all the basics such as the PRAM reset and also disconnecting power and holding down the power button for 5 seconds.
- What appears to be happening is that the computer is indeed starting up in both safe mode and normal mode & CD mode but the screen freezes. It usually freezes on the gray apple screen that has the sun circle thing below it. (Whatever that is called) That thing will freeze- the "rays" that light up will stop, but I can hear the hard drive still going as if the boot-up continues. What's more is that if I wait a bit, letting it continue the boot-up after the screen freezes, I can press the power button briefly and it will "sleep". I can even hit a key on the keyboard and here the optical drive power up and if I plug in a USB drive in, the light will come on. However, the screen stays black... or it normal for this to happen?
- I have had some strange graphics issues with all this. Sometimes when the screen freezes there will be chunks of pixels all over it. One time it really went odd and there was a rainbow effect on the screen when it froze.
- I have made it into safe mode twice, but most attempts fail. I have made it into CD mode once and did the disk repair (with no issues) and the permissions repair -- it froze towards the end of that. Subsequent attempts to enter CD mode would end up in the screen freezing. I'm sure I could get into either or even a full start-up with enough attempts.
- This all happened after I upgraded to 10.6.7 but I don't see others with this issue so I'm guessing coincidence...
Any idea on how I might test this thing out to confirm the problem... or overcome it?

Update: Just tried CD mode again, made it to the install part to resinstall OSX and then the screen went whacko again with what I called the rainbow effect. It isn't exactly that (rainbow) but it is like a huge colorful blotch flashing on the screen. I can see the Install Mac OS X through it all but can't do anything.

Only vibrates does not ring or sound with text even with tones selected

HELP!!! My phone is not on silent or do not disturb but it only vibrates and does not ring or sound with text messages All sounds have been selected correctly. Any idea what could be wrong?
Thanks!

I don't have sound anymore either. The mute button is in the correct position, the sounds are all on and the volume is all the way up. iTunes plays but I only get vibrations when a call or text comes through. I tried resetting but it did not solve the problem.

MBP won't sleep, HDD constantly running (clicking), even with no programs open

When I close the lid on my Mac at night it doesn't sleep, and I can hear the HDD quietly chattering away. Even when I'm using it during the day I can similarly hear the HDD going, even if I'm just using MS Word, Safari and Itunes - I'm a student, so my day-to-day needs don't really push my Mac that hard!
The only thing I'm worried about is if it's going to knacker the HDD if it's running 24 hours a day. Am I just being paranoid, or is it something I should chase?
It only really started happening after I bought an external HDD to use as a time capsule. I never really have it connected though, except when I back up once a week. It's a Samsung 1TB Seagate. Any Ideas?

Try a PRAM reset:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

IMac 24 wont startup even with install disk -

I only get the apple gray screen with logo and endless twirling wheel.
I can hold "T^" and startup in slave mode. But no need to to this. - The genius bar got it working a couple weeks ago but it stopped again - i think it is a goner. When I hold control shift I do get a readout that includes words like; security auditing service present..does this mean the CIA is coming to take my flying saucer away from me finally? - can anyone suggest something--(I dont care about any files..There is only 50 gigs of info/apps on my 500 gig HD)

Hi all,
I like to give an update to my old discussion: partly solved.
1#
I do not have issues any more with endless bootup - solved by repairing access rights from time to time
2#
I still do have the issue that my iMac is hanging from time to time (matter of hours). Usually no kernel panic or anything I can hook on, but mouse and iTunes keep on moving and playing. I have lately updated to 10.9. Same issue. So it must be HW. Unfortunately.

i have try to change into this code:

How Can i send the data entered in Input text fields to e-mail?

Iam Jennifer, Iam having a doubt in Flash, I hope that you
are going to solve my problem, Iam taking 3 Static text fields as
Name, Age and Country and besides each and every static text fields
i have taken 3 input text fields with different instance names,
when i enter my Name, Age and Country details in the input text
fields and after entering those details if user clicks the submit
button the data should be send to some mail address, is it possible
Im not so good at action script, but i hope that any one can
help me...
Iam attaching the action script code also, please find the
attachment below, the actions are given to button.
Attach Code
Btn.onPress = function ()
mail_lv = new LoadVars();
mail_lv.dummy1 = "";
mail_lv.subject = "Details";
mail_lv.message = "hi";
mail_lv.username = "name_txt".text;
mail_lv.age = "age_txt".text;
mail_lv.country = "country_txt".text;
mail_lv.onLoad = function ()
trace("Sent successfully...");
trace("mail_lv.subject = " + mail_lv.subject);
trace("mail_lv.message = " + mail_lv.message);
mail_lv.send("mailto:[email protected]", "_blank");

The names of your variables, "name_txt", for instance, should
NOT have quotes around them. Use:
mail_lv.username = name_txt.text;
mail_lv.age = age_txt.text;
mail_lv.country = country_txt.text;

Emailing data found in input text fields

Hi,
I have a simple form that users fill in various "input" text
fields like "Name", "Email", etc... now all I want is when the
click on the "send" button, it should automatically send an e-mail
to "info@...".
I got it to enter the proper recipient email address and
subject but there's not content. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Phalconheart

Thanks for the prompt reply.
Just to clarify (programming is not my primary function...
far from it)
Yes, just opening the clients e-mail program and populating
it with all the variable info he's selected is fine.
so, in your code:
url ="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Message
Subject&body=First line of message.%0ASecond line." + "%0A" +
"Third line.";
1) what does the "%0A" do exactly?
2) do I simply replace where you wrote "First Line of
message" with the code "variables.item = itemChoice.text;"? and so
on and so forth?
Thanks,
Pat

Create Draggable Input text

I Made a Draggable Inputtext but when I drag it I can not
write into it ,I try to put a button beside input text and put the
Drag action in the button ,it works fine but ,is there any way to
make the Draggable Input text by itself without the button beside
it

<<
Right, probably you put the input text into a movie clip and
then assigned
onPress and onRelease events? Then the mc containing the text
absorbs the
mouse events so your input field can't get the focus. You can
get around
this fairly easily using a mouse listener that just moves the
field with the
mouse. I have an input text field with an instance name of
dragText, and the
code below is on frame 1. Note in the MouseMove test I am
also testing to
see if the control key is down - I added this to allow the
mouse to still
function normall to select text for editing, but move the
field when control
is down.
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseDown = function() {
this.deltaX = _xmouse - dragText._x;
this.deltaY = _ymouse - dragText._y;
this.dragging = true;
mouseListener.onMouseUp = function() {
this.dragging = false;
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {
if((_xmouse >= dragText._x) && (_xmouse <=
dragText._x + dragText._width)
&& (_ymouse >= dragText._y) && (_ymouse
<= dragText._y + dragText._height)
&& this.dragging && Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL)){
dragText._x = _xmouse - this.deltaX;
dragText._y = _ymouse - this.deltaY;
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);

the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans at full speed.

After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen on 2nd? page of boot. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans run at full speed, machine boots then runs normal except the dvdrw will not . The mid 2011 IMAC had the same problem with LION. I changed hard drives, formatted, and installed a clean install of latest os x mavericks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use the uninstaller provided with the Sophos software. You can uninstall CUDA via the preference pane. Be sure you remove the com.nvidia.CUDA extension which is located in the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. Not sure if Fan Control has an uninstaller so you will have to do it manually:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.
Be sure to remove your two Login Items. Finally do this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                 if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

The pull down menu is grayed out. Even with “printer manages color” the tif or jpg image comes out in color overlaid with black. (See example - printer1. image on left is close to what it should be). Photoshop has no updates pending. I’ve downloaded the latest Epson driver which was working fine just before the problem occurred

Is your Photoshop CS5 updated to 12.1?
Are you on Yosemite 10.10.1 or Yosemite 10.10.2?
Did you apply the recent Epson software 2.1.9 update?
What type of file is it (file format)? What bit depth and what color space?
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.
