Keyboard changes without my knowledge

My keyboard on my Elitebook will randomly change on me, making it impossible to type. It's almost as if the shift key is stuck, forcing a period to be a ">", etc. I don't know how it changes, or how to fix the problem--my only solution is to reboot the computer. Suggestions on how to fix this annoying problem? It happens about once a day and is driving me crazy!

Can your Mail Preferences change without your knowledge?

Recently I noticed that my sent messages were gone, all but about 4 weeks or so. I checked account preferences on my MacBook Pro (fully updated to Mavericks) and it had "Delete Sent Messages From Server" set to "Never". My other iMac also set to the same setting. 2 iOS devices syncing to the account.
It continued to happen. I called Apple. They remotely rebuilt my email. Still did not repopulate Sent folder but did repopulat Inbox.
I called a week later (today) and went back to look at MacBook Pro mail preference settings on the accont and it had been changed from "Never" to "After One Month" (??!!??)
I didn't make this change, nor anyone in my house. Could this have changed in some way without my knowledge? I can't get my emails back (thanks Apple!!) but I don't want it to randomly happen again. They insist I am crazy and the only way it would have changed is if I, after a decade with the same preferences, went in specifically to change it.
Is this possible? Or am I truly losing my mind???
anyone?
Thanks Caroline

Ken2024,
I can understand your concern. I want to make sure that everything is okay with the account. To get the unlimited removed from the account normally a person would have to request a plan change, upgrade a device on the account, or if you had to activate a basic phone on the line for a period of time. I can always review the account for you in full detail if you would like. I have sent you a Direct Message. Please respond back to that direct message and we can get account specifics. I hope to hear from you soon.

My website has changed without my knowledge

I'm new to support communities and submitted a question without the proper information, so here goes again. My website is joanhauck.com. All of a sudden, it looks like a blog with extraneous material inserted and a download button, none of which I had ever put on the blog and had never seen before. Can anyone tell me what has happened?
Also, I would have replied to Old Toad, who commented on my original question, but I can't figure out how to do it, without starting an original discussion. Can you also explain this process? Thanks

Subscription plan changed without my knowledge

I purchased an international calling plan to talk with my family and paid for a year in advance. It was working great for the first 4months and now it charges my skype credit account. I chatted with someone that was on the help line but never heard back. Can anyone tell me how i can resolve this or who can i speak with? Otherwise i guess I have just wasted alot of money.

At first I made the mistake of calling billing. They said I owed what the bill said. Here is some advice. NEVER talk to billing about a disputed bill. Logic has no room in the world. Pay the bill is all they understand. Here is some more advice. Try to find someone in the company who can understand the situation . They will try to fix the problem. So far I am still searching for that person. I am also searching for others who are dealing with this problem. I have probably spent about eight hours on the phone on four separate occasions. The issue is- how did my plan get changed and when will they correct the billing.
If I can offer a reasonable guess: you said that you were on an unlimited calling plan and then you were moved to a 700min price plan; this tells me that you may have had an additional line requested or a consolidation of price plans, if you already have multiple lines. Did this occur at all? My reasoning is this: the 700min price plan is a family share, which normally requires two or more lines of service. If you do not have these extra lines or if you did not request a new line or an assumption of liability, then this would qualify as an error. I hope this helps.

Home number changed without my knowledge. Want my old number back.

I have been in touch with Verizon's phone representatives ever since moving into my new apartment. Most recently, my home number changed after I cancelled digital voice service and got Verizon to put me back on my old service. The new number that Verizon has me on is not even recognized as a Verizon number! I talked to Britney the other day and was told that she would call me after getting permission to change our number back to what it was before. This current number sems like the temporary number that Joanie gave me during my FIOS installation. When I called Verizon again this morning to check the status of my inquiry I was told that they can't change my number back because it's unauthorized and that the number is not even Verizon's. My home number has been hijacked and I AM HELPLESS. Everyone says one thing and I am stuck with a number I didn't even ask for. Please help me get my old number back. This is not right.

Good afternoon Nahid,
Can you send us this information in a private message so we can look further in to this please?

My data plan was changed without my knowledge or consent, and now I cannot get it returned.

I started getting overage notices, and when I looked it seems my unlimited data had been changed to a 2GB plan. (I haven't signed any new contracts or bought any new phones, or done anything to the account). I have been trying to get my plan re-instated and am being told I cannot. I'm not sure what I can do. I've been with Verizon for many years, and had planned on remaining with them but I am SO frustrated by this. If I cannot get this mistake fixed I am going to switch to another company. Any ideas?

What seems to have happened is that my sister went to look at phones, though she didn't end up getting one. But in the course of the visit the rep was recommending alternate plans to her that he said would better suit her usage. Somehow he ended up canceling my data plan. This occurred a couple of weeks ago, and I tried to get it fixed right away.

How did my security questions get changed without my knowledge?

Last week, I got an email from Apple Support that my security questions had been "updated." The questions have been changed, by ?, and I can't answer them. What happened?

OK thanks. They just get lots of these questions every day, probably thousands.
... I may have to resign myself to having unanswerable security questions.
That won't work as a long term strategy. You should request iTunes Support reset them for you.
Go here:
https://expresslane.apple.com/
Navigate the columns as follows: All Products and Services > iTunes > iTunes Store > Account Management > iTunes Store account security
Answer the questions and if required sign in with your Apple ID and password - same one you used to log in on this support forum.
You will find an option to send an email to Apple on that page. Compose a thoughtfully worded email explaining your dilemma, and politely ask to have your security questions reset. There are over 400 million iTunes account holders and Apple receives a great many of these questions every day, so make sure yours is easily understood.
You will receive a confirmation email immediately. Check your email spam / junk folder for it because a humanoid should respond in a business day or two. You may need to provide some more security-related information before your questions can be reset. These back-and-forth emails may result in a week of correspondence before it is fixed.

Pls help

Disabled device due to entering wrong passcode?
You will need to connect the device to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the device and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the device into recovery mode :http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

TS4002 emails are being sent out without my knowledge

emails are being sent out without my knowledge, do I have a virus?

Are you getting bounced spam messages? This simply means that someone is forging your address as the 'From' address, which is very easy to do. It's very annoying but it doesn't mean you've been hacked; unfortunately you can't really do anything about it but it usually stops after a bit as they move on to some other victim. As long as you don't have messages you didn't send in your 'sent' folder this is the most likely explanation, though changing your password might be a good idea on general principles (and make it a stong one).

Without my knowledge Calls are dialled

I have a skype number and without my knowledge, numbers are being dialled to unknown number. Kindly suggest how can i fix this issue.

Hi, 302xxxx..., and welcome to the Community, Please remember that a Skype Number only provides a land line (fixed line) number that you purchase a subscription to use, and people use that number to call you. You answer those calls on Skype. Outgoing calls placed from your Skype account are an indication that your account may have been compromised or hacked. Please change your Skype account password immediately, if you have not already done so. More information and next steps can be found in this FAQ article:https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10946/what-should-i-do-if-my-account-is-suspended-hacked-or-compromised Regards,Elaine

How do I customize Firefox keyboard shortcuts without using an add-on?

I want to modify shortcuts '''without using add-ons, extensions, or plug-ins'''. In other words, I would like to know how to modify a keyboard shortcut in a way that does '''not '''involve installing a plug-in, extension, or add-on. So, an answer that states that I should install this extension, or that plug-in is a useless answer and will be rated unhelpful as will indicate that you didn't read the question.
Again: How do I modify a keyboard shortcut '''WITHOUT '''installing any add-ons? For example, how would I change the homepage shortcut from Alt+Home to something else, without installing any add-ons?

I actually made this happen a few versions back, but I don't remember how I did it. I have looked through the about:config entries and can't find it. I looked through the ...xul keybindings and did not find it. I know it can (or recently could) be done, but I don't remember how.
The problem with the existing shortcut is that on a laptop, the Home button is frequently sharing space with another key. It is a hassle to have to access Home and the alt key when accessing Home is itself an operation.
The problem with add-ons is that I cannot, in a reasonably quick momentary glance, determine their safety now, nor in the future as they are updated. Since Mozilla does not certify add-ons as safe, I prefer to avoid them.
Other programs don't present such difficulties with simple things like modifying shortcuts. It's pretty standard for that to be accessible from a Customize submenu in one of the main drop-downs.

The touch pad on my Mac book Pro is very sensitive and causes changes without hardly touching it. Can this be changed or does it need replacement?

The touch pad on my Mac book Pro is very sensitive and causes changes without hardly touching it. Can this be changed or does it need replacement?

Touchpads are just that, touchpads.
You touch it and something happens unfortunately, you can't rest your fingers on it while your waiting to do something else or it triggers a response.
You either have to train yourself to remove your fingers and keep them suspended, causing wrist, arm and hand pain, or plug in a standard mouse where nothing happens until you press the button, like years of ergonomic experience has shown is a much superior method.
Touchpads are likely less expensive to produce and breakdown less often under warranty, so just like less expensive to produce glossy screens, it's a cost cutting measure they were incorporated into our devices and required users to adapt to sweeps, gestures and other useless actions for little benefit.
I've owned my Early 2011 MacBook Pro for a year now and have only used the trackpad once, the mushy keyboard perhaps only a couple of dozen times. Preferring external devices where I can rest my digits and nothing happens until I apply pressure or use a scroll wheel.
Needless to say my keyboard area is in brand new condiiton, remains covered from the original packaging, protects against dirt and spills too.
Mac's keyboard and trackpad area tend to wear out pretty fast, like in about 3 years, making one consider getting a new machine long before it physically fails.
