Key click sounds won't turn off

The subject says it. I have a quicksilver updated with all updates to Tiger as of 2007 03 13, and the key click sound will not turn off. Changing the setting in Universal Access does nothing. The only way I can get relief from the constant noixzse is to tuyrn the volume off.
Perhaps a preference file is damaged or needs to be c hanged manually. Any help on this?

Hello Rick!
This is a new one to me, but I think your analysis is correct.
The files to try are com.apple.universalaccess.plist (first) and if that doesn't fix it., then that one plus com.apple.systempreferences.plist, both in your ~/Library/Preferences folder. Remember to log out after you've binned them.

    A few people have reported problems with the hand gestures since IOS 8. It's not normal, I have don't have the problem on my iPad 4.  I doubt it's a major problem but if it happens regularly I'd have it checked out by the Genius bar at the Apple Store.

    The Find my iPhone service option is given to you when you first set up the device. If you just reset it, you may have been given that option. So, in other words, the service may have been enabled even if you didn't realize it. You can then go to www.icloud.com and click on Find my iPhone, and have it play a sound. Or, you can use the Find my iPhone app on your mom's iPhone, but the service would still need to be turned on on your iPod.
    Unlike Compukid said, Apple will not assist in locating a lost device without the Find my iPhone service.
    I found that out 2 years ago, it's just that I thought Apple might have changed that.

  • Airport won't turn off

    Hi there, I hope I'm posting this in the right forum. My airport has been giving me trouble on and off. It's fine right now but sometimes it will just stop working. I won't be able to connect to any networks even though if I click on the airport icon I can see a few of them there. If I try to click on one it hangs for a bit and then doesn't connect. If I try to click on the airport icon and click turn airport off it does the same thing, hangs for a bit but then won't turn off.
    If I try to go to network preferences it also hangs but this won't stop unless I got and force it to quit.
    Finally, if I try to shutdown or restart the computer it starts to shutdown, gets to the point where all i see is my desktop but then hangs until I have to hold down the power button to turn it off.
    When I turn it back on it seems to work fine but then a while later might randomly do the same thing again.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello dathascome. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    It sounds like you might have a corrupted configuration file or driver with your OS X installation. I suggest the first thing to try is to create a new user account; log off of your existing account, and then, log back on with the new account.
    Did this correct the problem?

  • HT6114 Camera Won't Turn Off

    Just downloaded the OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 update and now the camera won't turn off!  (green light is on constantly) and FaceTime still doesn't not connect.

  • The CRT won't come on and the computer won't turn off. ???

    Hi all,
    I just got another free Rev. A iMac CRT today - it was in an old, abandoned school and the people who were moving everything out of the school thought it was dead, so they gave it to me. I tried starting it up, and it wouldn't turn on. When I took off the back to see if it had any good parts in it, it turned out everything was unplugged in the back, so I plugged it all back it. It worked great, I was deleting the school's files and apps so I could sell it, until a few minutes ago when I tried to wake it up from sleep. The display just wouldn't come on. I though it just wasn't waking up. I tried typing on the keyboard and clicking the mouse, and I finally pressed the power button on the keyboard, when I heard the normal beep it makes when you press the power button on the keyboard and it gives you the dialogue box "Do you wanna turn it off, restart it, etc?" I thought, "this is weird, why isn't the display on?" So I pressed the enter key, figuring that Turn Off was the option selected and that the display would come on when I turned it back on. Sure nuff, the computer turned off. I waited a few seconds and turned it back on. The display still wouldn't come on. I waited a few minutes til I was sure it was all the way booted up. It won't respond to the keyboard, the mouse, repeated jabs in the reset button on the side, or the power buttons on both the unit and the keyboard. I held down the power button for an entire minute and the display won't turn on and the computer won't turn off.
    This is totally bizzare. Does anyone know how to a) turn on the display or b) turn off the computer? It's looking like I'm going to have to unplug it and try again later.
    By the way, it's running 9.2.2, like the one in my signature line.

    I finally pulled the plug and restarted and it's working fine now. Does anyone know what happened? I think it could've had something to do with the PRAM battery; every time I've started it up it's said the date is January 1956 and the time is 9:55. hmmm...
    Edit: I just realized that in addition to the date being 1956, the hard drive was completely randomly renamed to "k hortdpc." ***???
    Another edit: I just realized I probably renamed the hard drive in my frantic random clicking and typing - I probably accidentally clicked the hard drive name and randomly typed a new name in my attempts to wake up the computer. oops

  • Caps lock won't turn off

  • K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts

    K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts.  Every time I click on "Turn off computer" in Windows XP, it shuts down, but restarts again. Could this be OS related, or perhaps Bios related. My other machine, almost identical to this one, except that the other machine has BIOS rev 7.6 and this one 7.2.

    PSUs seem to be yr favorite subject, but I'm afraid this time it's software. I experimented some more as the problem only occured after installing the Nvidia drivers. Comparing the system settings in the device manager before installing drivers and after installing them, reveils that the problem shows up when AGP HOST TO PCI BRIDGE is installed. When killing this item the PC shuts off properly. Unfortunately when turning back on, Windows automatically reinstalls the PCI bridge and I have the problem again. LOOKS LIKE A MSI SOFTWARE PROBLEM !
    By the way I have a PCI graphics board and not AGP in the failing PC (the good one has AGP graphics).
    Now what?

  • I accidentally dropped macbook air that was in a book bag. The keyboard is working because I can see the light but the screen is black and it won't turn off. How should I fix this? Please Help ME!!

    I accidentally dropped my friend's macbook air that was in a book bag. The keyboard is working because I can see the light but the screen is black and it won't turn off. How should I fix this? Please Help ME!!
    I tried to turn it off and it didn't work... and I held on to the shift key too and it still doesn't work..
    Please help me..

    Accidental damage is not covered under Apple warranty.  And it seems there is much accidental damage.  Only a Genius Bar tech looking at it can tell how much it will cost to repair.
    Cost to repair will be high, I suspect (though Genius Bar will confirm/deny.
    There is no gentle way to say this sir/ma'am ... someone will need to pay for your friend's MBA repairs.

  • TS3274 my ipad won"t turn off. there is a small window with an email text in it and it appears frozen on the screen. How can i turn the ipad off?

    my ipad won"t turn off. there is a small window with an email text in it and it appears frozen on the screen. How can i turn the ipad off?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • HP 2210xi all in one printer won't turn off so I can try resetting it.

    I have a error message: Remove and check cartridge. I have removed both cartridges, cleaned them and cleaned the points on the printer. I tried to turn the printer off so I can unplug the power cord and see if resetting will help. Pressing the on/off switch does not turn the printer off. I have not tried downloading firmware updates (something I've never done) and will try that if anyone thinks it will help. I've read that my next step would be to buy new cartridges, but since the printer won't turn off I'm concerned that I'll be stuck with $50 worth of ink and still need a new printer. Any help will be appreciated!!

    Hi @3Friends ,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand you are having a problem with the scan to email feature on your Photosmart 7520.
    I would like to help you.
    Try setting a manual DNS.
    Here is a link, to a post by happytohelp01, that has some nice screen shots and the steps.
    It is for a 7510, but the steps will be the same.
    Efax 7510 still won't work after turning off/on ePrint several times
    If that does not get the scan to email working, you may have to remove, then enable the web services.
    This will be kind of like an uninstall/reinstall, for the scan to email and ePrint features.
    If you have a custom ePrint address, it will be lost.
    Not lost for six months, or a year, but forever.
    Just touch the ePrint icon on the printer
    Go into the settings sub menu, then scroll down and chose remove web services.
    It will bring you back to the main screen, just touch the ePrint icon again, and enable the feature.
    After that go to scan to email and set it up again.
    Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

  • Mac Book Pro starts up to white screen then makes a sound and dies, turning off

    Hello, my macbook pro is new, bought in August 2011. Just recently my battery died prematurely after only 118 cycles. However, the hard drive also had to be replaced as it wasn't for some reason working with the battery. Now, my computer even though the battery works and I've passed all my documents to the new hard drive is having problems when it starts up. It makes the typical apple sound when it turns on and it goes to the white apple screen and unexpectedly dies off (turns off). It makes a sound as if everything is starting off then a dying sound when it turns off. Sometimes I try it again and it turns off or it can also turn on randomly and fully boot. Holding the shift, control and alt key while it is connected to the battery until the charge changed color works but it is not a permanent solution as this problem has continued for a week. It occured a couple of days after replacing the hard drive and battery at the genius bar. Any help?

    It is better to take it back to the genius bar.
    Your MBP is under warranty and let them fix it for you.
    Nobody here can help you with hardware problems.
    Best.

  • PLZ Help. PC won't turn off because of EAX Mod

    Help! Ever since i installed my X-Fi Fatalty, when I go to turn my computer off, it says now ending EAXModule. After that, the computer won't turn off, but I can't do anything because it says the window station is shutting down. It is very annoying because all my settings aren't saved and I have to turn the computer off manually.
    My system:
    Athlon 64 4000+ OCed to 2.64 GHz
    Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
    2GB Kingston Hyper X
    2 MSI 7900GT's in SLI
    50GB Western Digital Raptor
    Creative X-Fi Fatalty
    Antec 550 Watt PSU

    I'm also having a similar problem now, however, if I wait a minute or two the system does shut down. I'm using an ASUS M2N32 WS Professional board, with the my X-Fi Platinum card in the second PCI-X slot; I couldn't get it to work at all in the board's one PCI slot, and the first PCI-X slot has my RAID card in it (Areca ARC-0). My GeForce 7900 GTX is in the second PCI-E slot, since it's too big to fit in the first and leave room for the RAID card.
    For all that, the sound card, video, everything seems to work perfectly except for this problem with the EAX module at shutdown. It's very annoying. I've tried stopping CTDetect from running at startup, I've tried completing the registration. Nothing seems to work, but I want my Creative applications. Any ideas?

  • IBook Won't turn Off.

    Yes, Werid, But My iBook G3 won't turn off. When i Go and click on the apple To "log off, Restart, Sleep Or Shut down" The menu closes and The computer Stays on and does not shut down. I then force Quit all the Programs Runing, And tryed to shut down again, No shut down.
    I have to Press and hold the power button And hold it til' it shuts down or Remove the Battery.
    I know this is not good for the Hard Drive so I run Safe Boot Regerly, But I really what it to shut down again.
    Can anyone help me?
    iBook G3, 128MB RAM, 30GB HD,12"in.,800MHz, Dual usb, 10.3.9

    Do you have to use Force Quit to quit applications? Can you quit applications normally (from the Menu Bar contextual drop-down or using Command + q)?
    Do you still have your OS 9 startup volume? If you're not sure, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and see if it shows up as a startup option. If it does, select it as your startup disk and shut down. Then start up in OS 9 and see if you are able to shut down normally from there. (This eliminates the possibility of a hardware problem if you are able to shut down normally in OS 9.)
    If you no longer have the OS 9 installation, try creating a new user (System Preferences > Accounts). Log out and log in as the new user. Is the new user able to shut down normally?
