Keyboard and characters unique problem IN all programs

Hello, thank you reading I have a unique problem with my computer. I have searched a great deal to locate information on my issue with no luck. It is very hard to describe the problem and I figured asking here might be the best idea. I have all the latest update software. I have not installed any new ]programs and this problem just started out of nowhere with In the last week. No wireless keyboard.
First the computer writes capital letters on its own while I type. The letters seem to be only the n, I and s. This goes for every application or text box on the web that I can type In.
Second the left arrow key when pressed types this ]]]]]]]]
Third the right shift key when pressed works, but makes an error beep each time
Fourth the enter key randomly doubles spaces rather than single space when pressed in programs like mail and word.
Fifth the left shiFt key types IIII when pressed
I have done the usual rebooting, repairing of the disk and permissions, emptying cache, restored defaults IN keyboard setting, sticky keys off with no luck. Once again no new programs have been installed. Issue started about the same day I registered for and started using facebook one week ago if that means anything?
Thanks for taking a look at my Issue.

Still having the same issue with my computer hs anyone ever heard of this?

Help! My Keyboard and mouse will not work all of a sudden on my G4

I am having a problem with both my keyboard and mouse. I have a graphite G4 and recently had to run disk warrior on i. I have had endless problems with this computer and even have a 2nd hardrive on it since it only came with a 10Gig. Needless to say it is all I have right now. I am running os x 10.2.2 on it and a few days after I recessitated it with disk warrior my keyboard and mouse suddenly went dead while I was on the internet. I tried pluging the two into different usb ports both on the tower and also into the flat panel mac display that it came with and nothing. I plugged in my wacom tablet and that works. i then tested the mouse and keyboard on my husband's dell laptop and they work. I cannot reset the PRAM b/c the keyboard won't work! What do I do??????

Besides removing the battery, you can do a PMU reset which will zap PRAM. See Mac PRAM, NVRAM, CUDA/PMU & Battery Tutorial
You only describe your Mac as a G4 graphite, which I believe is a G4 AGP. Here’s a diagram showing the location of the PMU reset button.

Problems opening all programs!

Every program I open does not respond immediately. The spinning wheel always appears. Why is this occuring? Is it the battery? I have force quit all programs that were open hoping this may solve the probelm but it hasn't worked. Any ideas?

Sallyando,
this situation could be due to either a software problem, a hardware problem, or a combination of the two; let’s presume for the moment that it’s due solely to a software problem.
Try booting your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Do you still get the perpetual spinning wheel?

Bluetooth keyboard and mouse connectivity problems

I have an Apple bluetooth keyboard and Mighty Mouse connected to my Macbook Pro 13", running ML 10.8.1.
The keyboard and mouse will constantly disconnect and re-connect on their own every few minutes. I'll see the "connection lost" notification, and then shortly after the "connected" notification. Also, even when the keyboard is connected, it often becomes unresponsive and/or strange things happen, such as the special characters menu appearing above the cursor (which I believe there is a keyboard shortcut to invoke, but I'm not doing that; it appears on its own).
This never happened in Lion.
Any idea what's happening and how to fix it?

Samsung Kies 3 and Android-Sync download turned all program icons to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

I recently installed Samsung Kies 3 and Android-Sync on my laptop running Windows 7 Pro. As soon as the installtion was completed, all my program icons turned to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, which is one of the programs loaded on my computer, and all my programs tried to open with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, which of course failed. I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, and the problem cleared up. As soon as I tried to reinstall Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, the problem reappeared. I uninstalled Acrobat 9 and installed a trial version of Acrobat XI, and the same thing happened. Any ideas aso to how to correct this problem?

Hi ptstoper,
I was not able to replicate the issue with Acrobat 11 and Android sync.

Apple keyboard and mouse connection problems with windows 7

Hello everyone,
I just completed the installation of windows 7 home premium on my bootcamp partition, and even though in the beginning my keyboard worked properly after installing some windows updates it stopped working.
So, i tried to reinstall the specific bootcamp drivers(as described in installation guide), I also tried repair drivers but the problem continues!
Has anyone experienced something like this ? Could you advise me something?
Thank you!

Hi lolarennt,
Have just done the same as you on the same system. It took over 12 hours of mucking around. Had lots of problems with the black screen issue, mouse not working, failing to load error message 0x80070071 ( all this from memory... saw it a few times LOL). The bottom line was I started up in Mac version and using disk utility repaired permissions and then started a fresh and sixth install. To cut a long story short, this fixed my installing issues. My mouse didn't work initially, an issue with "DPInst.exe" something to do with the 64 bit install. I then updated the win7 programme using the update windows function and things now work fine. Granted the mouse does take a short while to work after starting Win7(10seconds or so) but no further problems...yet! BTW I had to update something like 79 installs totalling over 250mb and if you go down this path don't interrupt the updating process, because you'll have to restore and redo the updates ( I did thinking the system had shutdown). I only updated win7 not any other MS programme. Enjoy

Blackberry 9300 keyboard and track pad problem?!?!?

Recently my blackberry has been acting weird. I'd be texting or on bbm and then the letters would go capalized and have accents over them. it'd look like french. but after sending the message it'd go back to normal. other times when i'd be texting, i'd be typing my message and then the | thingy indicating where the text is would shot up to the top of the message. When i try and bring it back down, itd go back up. Help me please D: i've tried two battery pulls and still the same thing.

I'm also experiencing the same problem. What is making the cursor move randomly and the keyboard to act up?

I am using iwork 09 on my Macbook and have a problem with all documents created in Pages, numbers and keynote. When I open and one of them every document that has ever been created, even attachements to emails that have long been deleted open up. Help!

If anyone can help with this I would be eternally grateful. I would like to be able to delete a document and not have it keep coming and asking me if I would like to save it. Even when I take the do not save option it still comes back. Is it me or the software?
Thanks
Bryan

Peggy
You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
Two more questions:
1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.

Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Keyboard and AC adapter problem

I have a Toshiba protégé z935-p300 and I just recently experienced this problem where whenever I plug in the ac adapter the letter "K" starts typing rapidly on the monitor. The button is not stuck or dirty. Whenever the adapter is unplugged everything works perfect. Please help me fix or find a resolution for this problem.

I have never heard of this before. I Googled and came up with nothing even close to your problem. It's the week end and you may recieve more replies latter. I would try a different adapter???

Problems previewing all my sites using Dreamweaver 8 both CF and html.

I have restored my hard drive (from a previous Ghost image)
and now encounter problems previewing all my sites using
Dreamweaver 8 both CF and html.
If I preview (using localhost:8500) I get the message "Unable
to connect, Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at
localhost:8500." IE has similar message.
If I preview (using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost:8500) I
get the page but no images or CSS loads.
An address such as:
http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/gettingstarted/experience/index_content.cfm
loads just fine - seems CF is working okay.
All the sites used for testing locally have been used for
some time (years) and work on my unrestored drive.
My thoughts: after I restored my hard drive image I installed
both Norton Antivirus 2007 and resintalled ZoneAlarm. I uninstalled
both of the programs but the problem remains.
Any help is much appreciated. I have spent the last two days
trying to get this to work and as many of you can identify with...I
am supposed to be working....!

Hi,
JSF 1.1 doesn't coexist nicely with HTML components.
So if your goal is to build layouts in HTML then this
will not produce the result you want
Skins in 10.1.3 are slightly different than in 11
(selectors may have changed their names). If you need
to specify the class property to make skins work then
this indicates that the skin selectors you use are
not the correct ones.
FrankHi Frank,
thank you for your help, I'm replacing every html component with adf one, panelGroup, panelHorizontal, panelBorder, objectImage etc... etc... but I have a problem...
I need to put an object component about Macromedia Flash and I cannot find any adf component to replace it. Any idea please?
Thank you again.
Ciao.

Keyboard and mouse wont work unless booted in safe mode.

So my keyboard and mouse wont work at all when i start up normally, so i coudnt even log on, then i tried safe mode and i was able to use the mouse and keyboard and log in, then when i loged in i got some messages:
*+System extention cannot be used+*
+The system extention "/system/library/extentions/IOUSBFamily.Kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the products vendor for an update.+
And 2 others: MicrosoftMouse.kext and msdosfs.kext
Im pretty sure how i got this problem, i was using bootcamp and i got this program called MacDrive (bad Idea)and it corrupted my HD or something so i had to use disk warrior to fix it. I also used disk utility in safe mode but there were no errors it said.
and this is probably a hardware problem but i cant use DVD's anymore, my drive will only read CD's now, must be broken....
so ya, i dunno what to do exept get my drive fixed and to a backup and reinstall OS...

Hi
There are no many options which could solve this problem.
It can be a hardware problem or software related issue.
Can you use the internal keyboard within the BIOS?
Check this.
If this would not be possible, I assume the hardware is faulty.
Additionally I recommend testing the keyboard and touchpad using the factory settings.
Recover the notebook and check if the keyboard would functions. Otherwise you will need an helps from an notebook technician in order to replace the keyboard and touchpad

HP update on "all programs" wont work anymore!!!

Hi ya all, I have a HP desktop pavilion a610t, Vista,2.4G CPU, 3G RAM, and when I go to "all programs" click on "HP" then on "HP updates" (which is supposed to keep you updated w/the latest upgrades) I get a message "cannot access program" when I try "Run as administrator" I have to give permission to open HP Update up but I get a popup message everytime that says: "Instance of this program already running" I am not sure if it is simply stuck or am I losing access to all the new updates that come out. I have auto-update set on automatic. But I dont know enough about PC's to understand if this is why I cannot update manually, eitherway is there anyway to figure out if indeed it is running and how to turn it back off and turn it on when needed?
thanks for any assistance, peace, boulonman

HP notebook keyboard and mouse not working

Hi
I spilled tea on my notebook. Now the system boots but keyboard & mouse do not work. Therefore I am not able to
login at the windows screen. When I hardboot, on pressing esc it goes to boot menu, but then the keyboard stops working
so I cannot go to safe mode or recovery mode. I also tried pressing F11 to enter BIOS, but it does not work.
I can however access it via LAN and since I had shared the C drive, I was able to recover the data. Do you have any idea
how I can restore the system now ? I do not have the recovery disks.
Are there any particular function keys to press while booting ?
Thanks a lot for your help

Thoughts on a Soggy System:
Have you tried the obvious -- connecting an external keyboard and mouse? If you are not near a store where you can buy these, you can order them online as a set. Almost anything would do and Windows 7 and 8 install basic drivers for most keyboards and mice without problems when the system comes online.
If you have not waited for several days for things to REALLY dry out before attempting to get back onto the system, then you may get away with this yet - if you WAIT for a few days. Chances are not great, but ... ?
If you can get the system to a repair shop, it is not terribly expensive to have the keyboard / touchpad replaced -- assuming that is all that is wrong with the system -- and the repair is not a lengthy process. This might be something you can do yourself if you are skilled, disparate, in a tiny spot on the planet somewhere (without a repair shop), or like these things...
We can check for part numbers and all of that if you are interested. You can search for for yourself, too.

I am pretty sure you are going to have to have some sort of keyboard control over that system to do more than just use the hard drive to do a hard recovery of the data. You are not at that point until you determine that you cannot access the data through the computer itseslf...
You can always send the system to HP and have it repaired. It is not free unless you have the warranty for it - but it is not horrible to do; HP makes the process pretty easy. It might be worth checking if you do not have a local option available!

Good Luck!
