Keyboard globe key not responsive all the time

Sometimes when trying to switch language it makes sound and pushed (globe key) but it does nothing.
Need to click again to actually make the keyboard switch.

Hi,
According to your description, it seems like a hardware problem, it would be better to contact Microsoft hardware support:

Left alt key not working all the time

the left alt key seems to be intermittent on versions of windows vista and above using a MS wireless keyboard
I don't know about you but the left alt key is very important in my workflow and it works intermittently
It seems to be something with the driver and the person at MS on the phone said it was a driver issue and he had no idea who to send it to.
Removing the "NEW" mouse and keyboard drivers seemed to have worked but not really
Only solution so far is not to buy MS hardware

40gb Ipod says "do not disconnect" all the time... please help!

My 40gb ipod just says do not disconnect all the time when it is connected to my pc. itunes says the update is complete and my computer is recognising the ipod.

I'm having the EXACT same problem... it all started after I did the iPod software updater...

BTW - my iPod is the 20GB
iPod is running fine (otherwise), but will not update, even though iTunes says update is complete. iPod screen continuously flashes Big Red Do Not Disconnect screen.
Oy.

I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos. The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.

I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos. The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time. Also, sometimes my animations (applications opening, windows being dragged, etc.) will glitch as well. Again, this is not a continual thing; it just happens variously throughout my day. MBP Model A1212, OS X 10.6.8, 2.33 Ghz 3GB RAM.

Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

Has anybody experienced the iPhone off switch not working all the time.

I have an iPhone 5, it's about 16 months old and it has experienced an annoying issue. The off button does not work all the time, sometimes I have to press it multiple times and other times it just works. The worst case is when it does not work at all, very frustrating. I didn't expect this type of issue for a phone that is not even a year and a half old.
I did some searching on the internet and there are 2 schools of thought, the first is that this is a hardware fault and Apple know about it but won't admit it because it would cost them too much to repair/replace phones with the issue. The second school of thought is that it is a software issue and a backup/reset/restore will fix it; I tried doing this but it did not resolve the issue.
Further digging seemed to suggest that it was really a hardware fault and the only option was to get a refurb from Apple for a ton of money, not cool.
Anyway, if anyone has any more information that could help me resolve this issue I would greatly appreciate it.

@diesel vdub, thanks for your suggestion, I setup an appointment with the Genius Bar and found out in about 5 minutes that everything I have read up on so far is true.
Firstly the technician admitted that there is a sporadic fault on the iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 switches, something to do with the design of the switch that included a rubber element that rolls up (whatever that means) and causes the switch to fail. He then indicated that the iPhone 5s does not have the issue because the switch has been completely redesigned.
Since I was stupid enough to not take out the extended warranty the only options he gave me were to purchase a new phone or to get a refurb for $269, not cool. Why would anyone think that a phone would not work correctly for 2 whole years when the phone only cost about $600!
Since I have about 7-8 months left on my phone contract I am not prepared to pay for either option. I find it amazing that a phone can develop this type of issue in such a short time and then expect the customer to pay for their failures. Apple supposedly sells a very high quality product for a very high price, looks like they have taken a step back from this philosophy.
I am disappointed in the options that he gave me (I don't blame the technician) but I suppose I expected more from Apple in terms of quality and service.

Firefox keeps "not responding" all the time ... is very anoring

it happens mostly while using facebook's posting page (FB and the Zynga games on FB are the only thing I'm on most of the time I'm on line) ... I keep running into "FIREFOX NOT RESPONDING" all the time ... I'll go to click on a posting and nothing happens ... when i click again the page goes cloudy and that DARN blue wheel shows up (I hate the wheel) & at top of computer is says "Firefox not responding" ... my scrolling wheel will not work right ... jumps up & down the page or won't move at all ... always have to be refreshing the page or exit firefox & reopen ... looses connection a lot or is out of sync & has to be refreshed ... this started to happen several weeks back after I first downloaded Firefox 4 ... in fact I've had to reload it several times ... this is all very frustrating when trying to play my games ... I've defragmented, run both my AGV & windows washer programs several times but nothing seems to help ... had no problems with earlier firefox so tried to reload it but now can't get earlier version to work either

My iPad keeps dimming on wakeup. I am on iOS 6. Auto dimming turned off. I have to go to brightness setting and touch it to get the brightness back up to my setting. It does not happen all the time but has happened more frequently lately. Any ideas?

Because GPS has nothing to do with WiFi, cellular signals, or data of any sort. GPS is implemented by signals sent by satellites that are received by GPS receivers. The receivers process the information from the GPS satellites and calculate your location. GPS never sends data anywhere; GPS functionality is receive only.
If you have WiFi or cellular data turned on this can improve the accuracy of GPS, because the GPS receiver can then use the known location of cell towers and WiFi networks to refine the GPS location. GPS by itself has an accuracy of 10 meters, or about 34 feet. Using the additional information from WiFi and cellular data this can be brought down to 3 meters (10 feet). This mode is called Augmented GPS, or A-GPS.

Home button is not working all the time

I have started to notice that when I press the home button on my iPhone 4 it does not work all the time. This problems has only started to occur and was first noticed around three months back, however I did not make a big fuss out of this because it was not as often as it is now.
Sometimes i find this extremely frustrating as it occurs even when the phone is locked and you are trying to bring up the unlock menu (which I know this can be done by using the wake up/ lock botton located on the top of the phone)
but this also is a pain when it happens, whilst using an app e.g. playing a game and trying to text someone. Because of the faulty this also makes multi tasking sometimes impossible.

Try calibrating the Home button.
1. Open a pre-installed app, such as Contacts
2. Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the red slider appears
3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button; press and hold the Home button.
4. Hold until the red slider disappears.

Macbook Pro 15inch Volume, brightness keys not working (All the special F keys)

Hello,
I have this problem on my MBP where my Fn (Function Keys) on the top row of my keyboard don't work properly. I use these keys all the time to adjust brightness, keyboard LED brightness, pause, play and volume but they aren't working anymore. When I press F12 it shows the dashboard. I already have the 'Use all F1, F2 ect. keys as standard function keys' unchecked in System preferences, Keyboard. I am on a bootcamped MBP but mainly use the Mac OSX. This problem is occuring on Mac OSX not Windows. I have not dropped my MBP to damage it or anything like that. I have installed 16GB Ram and the Seagate Momentus 750GB Hybrid SSD a few months ago. Anyone know how I can fix this?
Any help will be extremly appreciated!
- Kieran/Paul

Check the setting in Keyboard, Keyboard Tab, that the "Use all F1, F2, ect. keys as standard function keys" isn't checked.

H:commandLink not working all the times

Hi,
I am working on an application, with JSF and Spring. In the application I have one page containing a h:dataTable containing records from database. The first column in the dataTable is a commandLink on click of which I need to call method frmo managedBean defined in the action tag.
The problem regarding the above scenario is that the commandLink is workign alternate times, like when the page loads first the commandLink will work fine calling the action method in the managedBean but when I click the same link second time it does not call the method in managedBean, then third time it works again fine. My managed Bean is in session scope.
I need to open the details of the link in a new window which will be opened using target="_blank".
Can anybody please help me regarding the above scenario and giving me any solution why the hypelink is behaving like this.
Thnak You in advance.

i am facing the same problem.
I have a view in session scope and which opens in multiple pages on clicking <h:commandLink target="_blank">
in a datatable.
The thing is page is opening fine for the alternate clicks and all command links in parent page are not functioning properly.
They are working properly at alternate clicks.
I found the problem from debug logs as the form is not getting submitted on alternate clicks which is making the framework to quit the "*INVOKE_APPLICATION*" phase.
i tried using onclick="javascript:submit()" as part of each command link but it is not working fine all the time.
