Keyboard animation problem.

Im having various problems after 2.2 update.
I was posting a message and suddenly the keyboard animation just stopped.
A minute later i lost internet connection and had to reset the phone.
Holding the backspace button for 2 seconds results in whole message being deleted letter by letter...
Is there a fix?
<Edited by Moderator>

It was a simple fix, i did not notice the keyboard was in undock mode.

A possible solution for "foreight language keyboard shortcut" problem...

Hi(Bonjour)!
Everyone know the problem of losy keyboard layout when Final Cut is used with foreight language keyboard. We loose the COMMAND-Q shorcut.
As PieroF suggested in many posts in final cut express forum, there is a workaround:
"+I just installed Leopard and I ran into this keyboard shortcut problem.+
+I can confirm that:+
+a. the problem exists also with the Italian keyboard (in addition to other languages, as pointed by other posters)+
+b. the workaround I described in my previous answer works fine :+
+- close FCE (if open)+
+- open System Preferences/International/Language+
+- drag English to the first place on top of the other languages+
+- drag your own language (Italian in my case) again on top of English (at the end the window will show the same original settings, but something happened in the heart of Leopard...)+
+- close System Preferences+
+- open FCE: now all shortcuts work as expected, and are correctly listed with their corresponding menu commands+
+It's a workaround, it's not convenient (I'd better have this bug fixed), but apparently you have to apply it only once for each system startup.+
Piero "
As stated by Piero, you have to follow this procedure after each computer startup.
I found a way to restore the COMMAND-Q shortcut with the keyboard and mouse system pref panel.
Simply add Final Cut application and add a +custom shotcut+. Be careful to type exactly the "Quit Final Cut Express" menu.
This solution allows to restart the computer.
It's work with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro under Leopard 10.5.4.

Hi Michel,
I like your suggestion because the keyboard shortcuts defined in the system preferences do not require redefinition at each startup. So in theory we could define all missing/wrong shortcuts this way, and not only the cmd-Q as you suggested. Boring, but we could do it once for all.
The only problem is that I don't know how to define shortcuts for submenus, for example "Render Selection/Both": it seems system preferences allows only to define shortcuts for the menu ("Render Selection" - in this case absolutely useless) but not for the submenu.
Do you know a way ? (I looked in the help, which didn't... help).

Weird dreamweaver keyboard mapping problem

weird dreamweaver keyboard mapping problem:
Hope this solution helps someone out. If you have q's, ask
and I will try to help.
I was having a weird problem in dreamweaver... Whenever I was
in code view and typed "shift+i" to make a capital "I", instead it
would paste from the clipboard.
I finally figured out what was happening. I compared the
menu.xml in my app support folder in the user library to the
original menu.xml file that was in the application folder. I went
through until I came across the diff:
menu.xml in my library/app support folder:

<shortcut key="Cmd+Ins" name="Copy2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCopy()) { dw.clipCopy() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Copy2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Ins" name="Paste2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipPaste()) { dw.clipPaste() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Paste2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Del" name="Cut2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCut()) { dw.clipCut() }" domRequired="FALSE"
id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Cut2" />
orig menu.xml file:

<shortcut key="Cmd+Ins" name="Copy2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCopy()) { dw.clipCopy() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Copy2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Ins" name="Paste2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipPaste()) { dw.clipPaste() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Paste2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Del" name="Cut2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCut()) { dw.clipCut() }" domRequired="FALSE"
id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Cut2" />
There was a diff in the "platform=" tags. The orig stated
[platform="win"], my config stated [platform=""] (nothing in
between the ""'s). So, I reset the platform tag to be
[platform="win"] in my settings and then relaunched dreamweaver. It
fixed the problem.
Not sure how this occurred, but it works now.

Calling1.4.1 signed applet from Javascript causes keyboard/focus problems

Pretty sure there's a JRE bug here, but I'm posting to forums before I open one in case I'm missing something obvious :-)
This issue may be specific to IE, I haven't tested elsewhere yet. Our web application is centered around a signed applet that is initialized with XML data via Javascript. We first noticed the problem when our users started upgrading from the 1.3.x plug-in to the 1.4.x plug-in. The major symptom was that shortcut keys stopped working. I debugged the problem off and on for about a month before I boiled it down to a very simple program that demonstrates the issue (included below). Basically, the program has a function that adds a JButton to a JPanel and registers a keyboard listener (using the new DefaultKeyboardFocusManager class) that prints a message to the console. This function is called by the applet's init() method, as well as by a public method that can be called from Javascript (called callMeFromJavascript()). I also included a very simple HTML file that provides a button that calls the callMeFromJavascript() method. You can test this out yourself: To recreate, compile the class below, JAR it up, sign the JAR, and put in the same dir with the HTML file. Load the HTML file in IE 5.0 or greater, and bring the console up in a window right next to it. Now click the button that says init--you should see the small box appear inside the button that indicates it has the focus. Now press some keys on your keyboard. You should see "KEY PRESSED!!!" appearing in the console. This is proper behavior. Now click the Init Applet from Javascript button. It has removed the button called init, and added one called "javascript". Press this button. Notice there is no focus occurring. Now press your keyboard. No keyboard events are registered.
Where is gets interesting is that if you go back and make this an unsigned applet, and try it again, everything works fine. This bug only occurs if the applet is signed.
Furthermore, if you try it in 1.3, signed or unsigned, it also works. So this is almost certainly a 1.4 bug.
Anyone disagree? Better yet, anyone have a workaround? I've tried everything I could think of, including launching a thread from the init() method that sets up the components, and then just waits for the data to be set by Javascript. But it seems that ANY communication between the method called by Javascript and the code originating in init() corrupts something and we don't get keyboard events. This bug is killing my users who are very reliant on their shortcut keys for productivity, and we have a somewhat unique user interface that relies on Javascript for initialization. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

I tried adding the requestFocus() line you suggested... Same behavior.
A good thought, but as I mention in my description, the applet has no trouble gaining the focus initially (when init() is called). From what I have seen, it is only when the call stack has been touched by Javascript that I see problems. This is strange though: Your post gave me the idea of popping the whole panel into a JFrame... I tried it, and the keyboard/focus problem went away! It seems to happen only when the component hierarchy is descended from the JApplet's content pane. So that adds yet another variable: JRE 1.4 + Signed + Javascript + components descended from JApplet content pane.
And yes, signed or unsigned DOES seem to make a difference. Don't ask me to explain why, but I have run this little applet through quite a few single variable tests (change one variable and see what happens). The same JAR that can't receive keyboard events when signed, works just fine unsigned. Trust me, I'm just as baffled as you are.

Which part of the machine is related to the keyboard flex problem ?

Mine is T420s
And I got a keyboard flex problem.
Actually which part is related to this problem ?
Isn't it inclusive to fix this problem in the warranty ?
thx

Mine doesn't exhibit any keyboard flex and I don't think it's a common issue with T420s; anyway:

(foreign) keyboard mapping problems

Many people, myself included, have voiced problems with keyboard mappings since updating to Leopard. It appears to particularly afflict people with non-US keyboards, but I may be wrong.
Does anybody out there have a generic fix? Manually modifying the keyboard map as the Latvians did seems to address (some of) the symptoms, not the underlying problem. Accordingly, it doesn't appear to be a general fix, as reported here:
http://m10lmac.blogspot.com/2007/10/fixing-leopards-latvian-keyboard.html
Here are some of the other posts I saw/wrote that make me think this is a SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM IN LEOPARD:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5794935&#5794935
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5644709&#5644709
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5688731#5688731
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5854794
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5788789

Does anybody out there have a generic fix?
There is no generic fix because the problems are unrelated, except to the extent they represent goofs in creating certain files and failure to find these before release.
The Latvian keyboard issue is caused by errors in a particular .keylayout file. I don't know of any other similar layout with the same problem (In Tiger it was Macedonian and Romanian which had such errors). The Hanin Chinese IM problem is caused by errors in a couple of files particular to it -- all the other Chinese input systems have correct mappings. The X11 keyboard mapping problem concerns a different part of OS X than the others. The issues of QWERTY/AZERTY/QWERTZ in Chinese input were present in a different fashion in Tiger and earlier and many people have switched to a different IM called QIM to solve it. Having a dead Apple key is not related to ordinary character mapping issues.
Your own issue with ViaVoice is not totally clear to me, will try to respond in that thread.

Potential keyboard hardware problem T410

Dear all,
since yesterday I have been experiencing a problem with my T410, which is potentially due to
a hardware issue with the keyboard.
A few specific keys are not working anymore. These seem to be the Power On key, the Fn key,
the Alt Gr key, and the ThinkVantage key.
I am assuming it is a keyboard hardware problem, since I cannot use the Power On button to
start the laptop. Fortunately, this is possible using the fingerprint reader start-up.
When the laptop is running (using Windows 7) everything is working fine, except the mentioned
buttons. I cannot access any Fn button functions (e.g. the reading lamp) or Alt Gr symbols (e.g.
the @ symbol which is on my keyboard on the 2 button) or power down with the Power button.
I tried various easy fixes:
* Making sure all drivers are up to date
* Remove and reattach the keyboard
* Static discharge procedure (unplug all power, 10 presses and 30 sec holding of power button)
* Checking Bios settings
* Replace battery
Unfortunately, these did not change the situation.
I am wondering if the simultaneous malfunctioning of these specific buttons points to a certain
hardware problem. I hope a replacement of the keyboard might solve this, but it could be an
issue with the motherboard.
Any hints would be welcome.
Thank you,
MH
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dear all,
thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately, it was not the keyboard. It appears to
be a more serious problem. In fact, since yesterday the laptop does not boot correctly
anymore. The boot process is started, but I only end up with a black screen, and some
randomly colored first few lines at the top of the display.
It all points to a major malfunction. Unfortunately, the warranty expired 3 months ago...

mh

Animation problem ( badly needs) ?

Hello,
Sorry i 'm posting again and again. because nobody couldn't respond . I badly need this application to be run. Here is what am doing. First applet should start and display '+'( by painting) after keypressed(eg spacebar) then sleep for a while and paint rectangles and next arrow then sleep and etc . this goes on until i keypressed again. Here is that i wrote code , could u please check and modify it. Where i stucked is that KeyPressed code is not working. Please see the code modify it wherever is necessary.
Thanks in advance,

hi ,
here is modified code . I kept all sleep methods in the run method.
But the problem is i couldn't get any response from the keyboard.
What i need is that whenever key presses then animation should starts.
please help me in this regard.i 'm putting my code here, please modify
it according to my requirements. Once again i badly need this one to be run. i really appreciate if anyone help in this one.

I'm starting to wonder if the top case with keyboard/trackpad is the Achilles heel of the black and white Macbooks 2007-08. I'm having problems with 3 different Macbooks.
On one, a 2.1Ghz from 2008, no internal keyboard/trackpad is recognized by the Macbook. Its original kb/tp just stopped working one day. I removed the top case and checked the connections, as well as any dust or bent pins in the socket on the logic board, but all seemed ok. Reassembled, but kb/tp still not working. I then replaced the top case with another one that I knew was working, but still no go.
Any ideas? The MB boots fine (even with the original top case installed) and works great with external kb/mouse.
On a second, a 2.16Ghz from 2007, the kb/tp suddenly stopped working one day. I'd opened the MB a couple of times just before, but I'm pretty careful and don't think I broke the cable or anything else. All the pins and the cable seem fine, as does the socket on the logic board. Here too, an external mouse/kb work perfectly.
I tried another working top case and this time it seemed to work okay. But after a day or two, it stopped working too. I then reassembled it, thinking there might be something pushing up on the keyboard, or maybe some screws loose. And once again it seemed to work.
I also noticed something odd: a couple of times at first, when I'd just reassembled the top case, the kb/tp weren't recognized. But then when the MB woke from Sleep, I heard the hard drive and DVD spin up, and suddenly the kb/tp were working again.
Anyway, after a couple of days the kb/tp stopped working again.
Question: how can the kb/tp work for a couple days, then suddenly stop working? If it were broken, wouldn't it always not work?
The 3rd Macbook is a 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo from early 2007. Its kb/tp stopped working too (unrecognized by system, etc.). I swapped the kb/tp from the 2008 2.1Ghz onto it and this seems to have fixed the problem. It's been a few weeks now and I haven't had any trouble with it.
Question: would swapping in the top cases from different models create any problems? I see that they sometimes aren't perfect fits in terms of looks, but the screws are in the same place and everything installs pretty solidly. IIRC you have to be careful re. mixing top cases with an orange trackpad cable and a silver one, but in my case all of them had silver cables.
This is really getting to be a problem. I've got the 2 fast well-upgraded Core 2 Duo Macbooks sitting here, working perfectly apart from the kb/tp.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Sorry, just wanted to add in concluding that there seem to be 2 different problems.
1) with the 2.1Ghz from 2008, no working top case seems to work, so it doesn't seem to be a top case problem, but rather a problem with the connection to the logic board or somewhere else.
2) with the 2.16 from 2007, here it does seem to be a problem with the top case.
Unfortunately I don't have what I know to be a good, working top case to try on the 2.16. I think with all the assembling/disassembling, the semi-decent kb/tp I had may now have problems too.

Could these (MacBook Pro) keyboard/trackpad problems be Leopard related?

My (MacBook Pro's) keyboard and trackpad stop working every couple of minutes. And then suddenly comes back. The capslock key and it's LED is also not responding anymore when it happens.
Could this be a software thing? I'm about to send this MacBook Pro back and get a replacement, but that would be kind of pointless if this is a software problem caused by Leopard.
Anyone in the same situation?
S.

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11, and mine started out having the exact same problems:
First, the keyboard took 2-3 minutes to be recognized after waking from sleep. Then, a few days later, the keyboard and trackpad would quit unexpectedly during use, took a few minutes to start working again. Then it went off a cliff from there. For the past 5 days, my keyboard and trackpad are not working whatsoever, I've tried all of the suggestions I can find online, nothing works. From the moment I startup, to the moment I shut down (thankfully I have a wireless Mighty Mouse) neither of them are recognized. I've had it on for 8 hours straight and it still didn't recognize the keyboard or trackpad. They don't show up in the system profiler under the USB section, and on top of that the on screen keyboard only types in lowercase, nothing happens when I hit the shift or Caps Lock key on the on screen keyboard.
I called Apple 4 days ago, they said that this is a priority issue and hope to have a fix out within a couple of weeks...yes...a couple of weeks, they said that they had the fix, and were just waiting on patents to go through (you have to be kidding me right?). Their temporary "fix" is to buy an external keyboard and mouse.
This is not by any means a Leopard only issue, and you can trace posts about this online all the way back to October 1, 2007, well before Leopard was released to the public.
The crazy thing is, if you look at this and don't assume it was caused by Apple, this bug behaves exactly like a virus, and a very well written one at that.

Flash as2 game animation, problem.

hello i am making a flash animation game but i have a problem, i have my guy running and everything its all gifs, so when he stops its a gif its not one picture its 4 of em (gif) which i made them all compressed into a gif and added to my library then added that to my flash made it work blah blah blah-

      var rollSpeed = Number=14;
     ichigo_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
      if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
       this._x += rollSpeed;
       this.gotoAndStop("right");
      } else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
       this._x -= rollSpeed;
       this.gotoAndStop("left");
      } else {
       this.gotoAndStop("still");

no its actually not a school project just i want to know how to make a game, and i dont know really anything about flash, but i have in my picture of my guy another layer so theres each indivudual layer like i have in my pic of my guy the still still2 running animation 1 n 2 and both my attack things, if you would to see my project so far ask me and i send the file and it should show my guy and his animations...
heres my code so far.. idk y but i like putting at the end
   var rollSpeed = Number=14;
     var facingRight = true;
     ichigo_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
      if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
       this._x += rollSpeed;
       this.gotoAndStop("right");
       facingRight = true;
      } else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
       this._x -= rollSpeed;
       this.gotoAndStop("left");
       facingRight = false;
   } else if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
    this.gotoAndStop("atack2");
      } else {
       if (facingRight) {
         this.gotoAndStop("still");
       } else {
         this.gotoAndStop("still2");

Photoshop Elements 4 Animation Problem

Hey everyone.
Sorry for posting this in the iMac forum, but there really was no other forum for my problem. I am using Photoshop Elements 4, and whenever I try to save an animated gif, I cannot edit the frame delay or loop options, they will not respond to anything, but EVERYTHING else will. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, and repairing permissions, and everthing else I can think of. Please help!
Thanks
Max

Hmm... Well, this *****. It's wierd, I got it to animate succcessfully once, but only once, then I couldn't again. Just one more reason to wait for and buy 5 Universal when it comes out I suppose. Thanks for your help.
Max
EDIT: Hmm.. I didn't realize this forum had such a strict profanity filter. That wasn't a bad word...

SGD 4.6 and Mac OSX 10.6.5 / Keyboard mapping problem

Dear all
With Mac Clients we have the problem that Keyboard mapping does not work correctly:
Swiss German Umlaute like ö ä ü don't appear if we don't specify the xdeswiss.txt keyboard map file under SecurID User Profile - Client Device (we've tried the option Client's Input Locale).
Now the problem is that we also have Users from Spain, UK, France connection to the same SGD also using the SecurID User profile....
Anyone an idea how to solve this?
Best regards
Werner

The regular Mac OS X 10.46 updater will only update Mac OS X 10.45. The combo Mac OS X 10.46 updater will update 10.4 through 10.44 as well as 10.45. When performing troubleshooting or replacing missing software components on your computer, it may be useful to rerun the combo updater. If you will be updating from 10.45 to 10.46, you should use the regular updater, as it is a smaller download.

Keyboard Layout Problem in Bootcamp Using Windows 7

Both OSX, bootcamp and Windows 7 are the latest versions and all up to date and I have had this problem ever since I first started using Windows 7. Everything has worked smoothly and without problems except for my keyboard. No matter what program I am in when using windows 7 certian keys do not work as intended. All of the letters and numbers work as intended but things like the question mark key type this like É instead.
Question mark =É
Greater than symbol= '
Less than symbol = "
The bracket keys = ¨Çç
backslash = à
forward slash = É
Quotation mark = È
My question would be is this something that always happens in bootcamp Windows 7 that just needs to be changed or is it out of the ordinary for the characters to be bound to keys incorrrectly like this.

You prob do not have the drivers installed. Takes a separate disc sometimes. There is a box to check during the partitioning and installation which has to do with downloading the latest drivers. You gotta do that to make much of anything work. If nothing else, go to an Apple reseller in your area or Apple Store if you are so lucky, and get some help. Is not the easiest thing to get all that set up correctly, but it does work well if you got the drivers installed. I have an aviation site which is not yet Mac compatible, so also do the Bootcamp thing with Windows, in order to do my thing on Jeppesen. Hang in there and get some help if you need.
