Keyboard Buttons Stuck

it seems as if i have random keyboard buttons are stuck, not physically, but its as if my mac thinks they are. ive had the 'Return Key', 'Page Down', and other random keys suck at different times, and it kinda fades in and out and ive yet to find a reasonable trigger that makes it do so. Ive tried it on my white wired keyboard, white bluetooth keyboard and aluminum wired keyboard they all go into this continuous loop. This problem even happens if there is no keyboard plugged in.
(you have no idea how hard it was too search through sites and post this with this problem =D)

You're not the only one seeing this.
I'm on a MacBook Pro, just upgraded to 10.5.2 and the repeating keys problem just appeared.
Apple posted a firmware update for Macbooks, but I'm a bit wary of applying updates willy nilly when it appears the problem is not confined to my hardware, lending weight to the theory that it's not an issue related to MacBooks.
For reference this is the firmware update: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1482?viewlocale=en_US

Special keyboard buttons not working

Hello, everybody
I have got a HP G62 notebook and some of the "special" keyboard buttons are not working ( in other words, nothing changes ).
For example:
- display chooser button ( i.e., either just the laptop, either the projector, either both, etc. )
- sound on/off button
Anyone had any experience with this ?

While the keyboard binding part might not be that hard, I am stuck with figuring out how and what to get for the VGA and HDMI port switching ( see below ).

Any suggestions for a specific application or at least an idea of what should I search for ?

[SOLVED] MSI GT70 keyboard buttons not working

Hi! I am a normal user of computers that like games, so I bought this awesome notebook MSI GT70 i7 16gb ram GTX 675MX 128ssd+750hdd, with a keyboard by steelseries.
Everything was ok, using the notebook as came when I bought, with OS windows 8, with no format nor modifications by me, using it since January 2013.
The problem is that about 1 or 2 weeks some shortcuts of keyboard arent working anymore:
- Wifi button isn't working and isn't becoming orange when pressed, and Fn+F8 isn't working either;
- Screen shutdown button is becoming orange when pressed but not working;
- Cd-dvd eject button is becoming orange when pressed but not working;
- I tried also Fn+F9 and Fn+F12 shortcuts, and I think they arent working either.
At the same time, the Cooler button and the Backlight's Keyboard button are working correctly. Turbo button maybe is working too but I don't know if something become overclock when I activate it.
I would really appreciate some help, since I love my notebook very much, and I hope it's not a hard problem to solve.
Thanks!

Try resetting EC: >>How to reset the EC (Embedded Controller)<<
If that doesN't help uinstall SCM and after reboot install latest version: http://www.msi.com/service/download/utility-19670.html
Also try updating .Net Framework 4.5: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36377
Hi,
I followed your advice:
1. uninstalled SCM, restarted
2. installed SCM, restarted
3. tried to update .net framework, had it already
4. resat the EC
But unfortunately it did not change my GE60 2OC's behaviour: when i press the back-light button it opens my browser with dragoonarmy/msi.com>/ BUT NO LIGHT.
Do anybody have a suggestion to solve this??
Thanks Kurt

Keyboard Buttons Not Working With Update

When I first installed iTunes, I noticed that the media shortcut keys on my Labtec Media Keyboard were not working. They worked perfectly fine for Windows Media, but my primary audio player is iTunes. Then when I installed the 7.1.1.5 update, I noticed that my keyboard buttons were working for the first time with iTunes. Now that I just updated to 7.2, I notice that the keyboard buttons do not work again.
Any suggestions?

Maybe some of the following ideas will help those wanting to control iTunes in the background (I don't).
1. If you are running iTunes on a Mac (MacBook, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, or iMac) running Windows (via Boot Camp) then you can use the Apple Remote with iTunes (Boot Camp 1.2 drivers added support for the Remote). Therefore with initially iTunes in the background you can press the menu button on the Apple Remote to bring it to the front, and use the remote to control iTunes as normal. Furthermore, if you also have the Microsoft Media Center remote, you can still use the Media Center button to bring Media Center back to the front (pushing iTunes back in to the background) and then control Media Center.
2. The KeySpan Express Remote is a USB infra-red controller with both Mac and Windows software. I have not tried this on a PC but on the Mac, the software has a special iTunes mode to let you control iTunes in the background. Even if you don't use this special mode, it can still be configured have the equivalent of the Apple menu button to bring iTunes to the front and then let you control iTunes. See http://www.keyspan.com/products/usb/urm17a/homepage.spml
Most of the time, I actually don't use iTunes to play music, but to merely act as a server. I use a Roku SoundBridge M2000 to play music (I have three of them around the house), and this can be used with a Mac or PC. There are also other similar devices available like the Sonos ZonePlayer or the SlimDevices SqueezeBox (or even possibly the Apple TV or XBox 360).
Note: If iTunes is already in the front then you can even use the Microsoft Media Center remote to control iTunes!!

One keyboard button is broken on Satellite A100-906

Hi guys,
Few days ago i bought Satellite a100 906. As soon i got home, i found one keyboard button (the cap from the inner side) is broken (the M letter).
Is it possible to order the keyboard buttons separately or only the full keyboard ?
My local dealer said only full keyboard is avalible, but its just funny, that i should buy a new one keypad instead of one letter cap.

Generally if the button mechanism is broken the whole keyboard must be replaced but if only the keycap is damage it should be possible to order the single keyboard key caps.
The removing of the keycaps is not very tricky. Simply go under the keycap with the fingernail and remove the keycap.
But I assume the warranty is valid therefore the service partner should do it for free.

All I get on web pages is the letter "A" it looks like a keyboard button.

Not all the type but most on some pages is just a keyboard button looking letter "A".
I'm assuming it's a font issue but I don't know for sure.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Michael

Hi Michael --
Does it look like capital A's in boxes?
Here's great help, According to our font expert here, Kurt Lang --
+A’s with boxes around them is always a sign of trouble with the main system+
+font, Lucida Grande.+
+Quick possible fix is to remove ALL font cache files from the system to see+
+if it's just bad cache data. For that, you need to use OnyX or other utility+
+which will remove both system and user cache files. A Safe Mode boot won't+
+work since it only removes cache data from the user account you do a safe+
+boot to.+
+If after that the problem returns, then Lucida Grande itself is damaged and+
+needs to be replaced.+

My keyboard buttons aren't functioning

my keyboard buttons aren't functioning

In case Firefox is using a messed up cached version of one or more YouTube files obtained with the previous setting, could you try:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Turning off audio while shuttling through clips using keyboard buttons

Is there a way to turn off the audio while shuttling through clips when using either the J, K, and L buttons or the left and right arrow keys? I have audio skimming turned off but this only turns off the audio while skimming with the mouse, and not using the keyboard buttons above when you want to make a more precise edit.
Many thanks for your help!!

Hi Russ,
Thank you for replying. You're correct that keyboard shorcut toggles the audio skimming on & off, but if it's off I'm still hearing audio while I shuttle through clips using the keyboard buttons J & L or using the Left & Right arrow keys. I would think that would turn off the audio for those functions too and not just skimming with the mouse.
Do you know of a solution?
Thanks,
Reid

The buttons are named Q2 and Q4 and are placed in a different cell then the content (both BOLD in the code)
How do I assign these two buttons to make the text scrollable in the cell?
You can't do this with HTML alone. Scrollbars are a browser function.
The best you can do is wrap content in a division with CSS height and overflow properties.
CSS:
#scrolling {
height: 360px;
overflow: scroll;
HTML:
<td> <div="scrolling">your scrolling content goes inside here....</div></td>
For custom scrollbars/buttons, look at jQuery (scripted) plug-ins.
