Keyboard going nuts

I posted a topic about a water spill issue a few weeks ago, and I'm telling you that this laptop gives me anxiety and depression...The keyboard must be damaged, here are some symptoms :
- when i press some numbers, i hear a beeping sound, same beep when you press too many buttons at a time
- then the keyboard goes crazy and starts typing on its own like : zero nine one one one one one one one one etc.... and doesnt stop. the browser goes full screen and it opens inspect element
-after i make it stop numbers except five and six dont work.
- i also noticed that after the water spill the power button didnt have lights but the light came back on and the problem started
I really apreciate your help, and I hope i can fix this without having to replace the keyboard because without the numbers, u cant play video games or type some pretty important things

It will depend on the availability and shipping cost to your place and how flexible you are with the keyboard layout (if you look for a seldom layout expect to pay more).
Check for Ebay and alikes for any T410/T420/T510/T520/W510/W520 keyboard.

I am running Mac OS X Lion on a brand new Mini. Every now and then, my keyboard goes "dead." The mouse still works but can't type. If I restart, everything is fine again. Is there anything that will fix this problem?

I am running Mac OS X Lion on a brand new Mini. Every now and then, my keyboard goes "dead." The mouse still works but I can't type. If I restart, everything is fine again. Is there anything that will fix this problem?
Also, I am trying to connect my Mini from the mini-Displayport to the Displayport of my Dell U2410 monitor. The image is very grainy,even though it is set to the correct resolution: 1920 X 1200 at 60Hz. If I use HDMI to VGA input, the image is much clearer. Is there a way to get the Displayport to work?

I'm having exactly the same keyboard issue. Certainly nothing has ever enhanced my concentration while coding like suddenly becoming unable to type.
I'm seeing a great many devicemgr and rake errors in my system log. I don't know if they're related. How 'bout you?
If you're unfamiliar with the system log…
Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
If necessary, choose View > Show Log List.
system.log is at the top of the FILES section.
Try searching it for hot words like DEBUG, FATAL, and aborted.
I've found some discussions that would tend to indicate my errors are postGres related – I'm running OS X server.

The trackpad of my 13" macbook pro (mid 2012) has geen going nuts for about a week now. It randomly clicks and drags the cursor to all places on screen, it randomly clicks, selects and swipes. Have tried spm reset and pressure on whole trackpad. Help?!

It goes nuts for hours and the next day it acts completely fine. My macbook is impossible to work with when the problem is active; it randomly clicks, drags, selects and even selects words (in a yellow colour) to come up with latin(?!) translations.
Ive tried the reset (option+cmd+r+p) and it seemed to work at first but now it doesnt seem to have any effect whatsoever.
Also tried to apply pressure to the entire surface of the trackpad or just the top corners; no effect whatsoever.
It's been quite an expensive purchase for a young student like me and i've really enioyed it until last week.
I'd be relieved if someone came up with a solution; especially since its warranty has expired for half a year now.

Triggering events for the Lost Triggers!!! Going Nuts....

Gurus,
Oracle ver 11g
I am going nuts and crazy here....
Can you think of any possible reasons that I have lost all my objects that I created for triggers ( approx 65 objects) and how to get back those objects.
I don't have the script to re-create all those objects again as I did it manually using the Toad and I am 1005 sure I saw all the objects created and was able to see them in sql*developer tool.
We had a server crash and we had to reboot the server where this oracle is residing, but other than that I am have no reason how the objects disappeared...
My belief is create trigger is a DDL command Right? so the objects should be there in the DB.but I am not able to see them any possible reasons>?? please advice when time permits
Thanks
Sheik

Thanks ennisb for your reply.
Do you have an export handy that you could restore from?
** No, I am not sure how I could do this. and whether we are doing it. Basically are you asking whether we are backing up the DB daily ( No I guess we are not backing up).
Is Flashback logging turned on?
** Guess Yes, the Flash back is turned on.
When was this server crash?
** I am sure I saw the objects on 8th Apr and were created on 7th and 8th and the Server crash was Y'day ( 09th).

Lately my iphone 5 is going nuts for some reason. siri pops up for no reason

my phone is going nuts, it seem to activate siri on its on and takes pictures on the home scrren and some time the home button get stuck , please i need your help in solving this issue, my phone is new , it happens sometime when my phone is on a table with nothing touching it

Sounds like you have a home button fault as both symptoms relate to the home button, e.g. Siri is normally activated by holding the home button. Screenshots are normally taken by pressing the sleep/wake button and the home button together so then you are switching on the phone it probably assumes the home button is also being pressed and takes the screenshot.
You will need to make a Genius Bar reservation at your local store and take it in. They are able to replace the home button module on the iPhone 5 which is most likely what they will do. Just ensure you have a backup in case they do decide to replace the phone.

Adobe Reader has not worked on my Safari for months. I have tried a new download 20 times! Works fine on my Google Chrome. Im running MacOS 10.9.3. Help! GOing nuts!!!!

Ah, Ok. I didn't know what was triggering the message. That is launching indeed. (I have to ask because many people a week don't know what it means).
This message is the big problem, because it isn't even getting as far as the license agreement.
I found a little discussion of this. It seems rare, especially on a Mac, but here is one person's advice. Worth a try:
The error that you are facing might be due the reason that the user logged in doesn't have permissions to access the following directory: "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe". Can you please try the following steps with the user account in which you are facing the error:
1. Remove the Adobe Reader from Applications directory by moving it to Trash.
2. Now delete the following directory: "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe". Please note that this path is for the Library folder present inside the user directory that you are currently logged in.
3. Restart the machine.
4. Now re-install Adobe Reader XI.
Tip: In Finder use GO TO FOLDER from the menu and type in "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe" (without the quotes but with the ~)

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

I bought an app that still goes nuts on advertising. I deleted it and want my money back. Can I get it?

Aperture going nuts

Booted up Aperture today, and it's as if it were posessed! Not sure if this is some Apple prank in light of Halloween, or whether the application itself is drunk. I've encountered two wacky issues:
1) Aperture seems to have "lost" my top-rated picks from a recent interior photography shoot. When I click on the file, it has a yellow badget (Image Not Found). It won't allow me to export it. The image is neither in my Aperture Trash nor my OSX Trash (neither of which have been empited since the images from this shoot were imported). All other images from this shoot are fine, only the top-rated picks. Very strange. See screenshot below.
2) Other images from that shoot (these are all RAW files) laod fine, except they exhibit drastic colors everytime I load up Aperture. In some instances the images turn purple, other times yellow. I can even export these as JPGs and they look completely wild! See attached images. RAW adjustements work fine, but there is no way to get back the original colors. There seems to be adrastic shift in white balance and tint.
I've already Repaired my Aperture Database and repaired permissions, all to no avail. These 6 top-rated images (which the client had requested) have just disappeared.
Does anyone have ANY thoughts on how something like this can even happen? I am running the latest Aperture on 10.8.5 iMac (Late 2012 model, 3.4Ghz i7 with 32GB RAM).
Please anyone, help because I am pulling my hair out right now, and there is no phone tech support to call!

Some further observations:
Images seem to corrupt (and disappear) when I attempt to export originals. Prior to that, I can make RAW adjustments and export the image as a version (JPG), but once I elect to export the original, Aperture goes nuts. In one case the image turns purple/pink, in other instances it just turns plain black. In another instances still, it shows that the image was not found (if that's true, how was I able to export versions and make RAW adjustments just a second ago?).

Backup going nuts

I've posted questions about this problem with the backup (under 10.8.3) and watching it discovered that while normally the backup takes 3-5 minutes and occasionally 5-10 minutes for large updates of applications, every few days the backup will go nuts and backup 25-50 GBytes. The console logs will show the normal 2-4 GBytes required for padding for 200-1,000 MBytes of files but then just keep going for an hour or two before stopping for no obvious or apparent reason. I've deleted the .v100 file on the TC, move the disk out and back in the spotlight, done checks of the sparsebundle, etc. and nothing indicates anything is wrong.
It would be nice if someone would make some suggestions what's left to check to determine why the backup is going nuts every 3-4 days and eating lots of unncessary disk space. The backup got better under 10.8.3 but this is still an issue which needs explanation since the log and the backup don't match.

Does anyone know how to see what the backup is doing or what it's backing up? For the fourth time in 10 days it wrote the lines for the latest example:
Found 99 files (2.2 MB) needing backup
2.88 GB required (including padding), 533 GB avaiilable
And then it went and ran for two hours to backup up over 50 GBytes of what I don't know.
This is what it does every time and it's not consistent when it does it except it's every 3-4 days. I realize it's not really important since it deletes space to do a backup when the HD runs out of space, but doing these backups and deleting the space when it's full interfers with the disk usage and network resources with other applications running. It doesn't matter if I turn the backup off because it resumes where it was when I turn it back on.

My wireless keyboard goes mad(and I'm going too...)

My wireless keyboard goes completely mad, please have a look on the screenshot in attachment tobetter understand what i mean.
It all has begun when the first batteries has died, so I've changed them with energizer battery like the ones I've found when I bought the Imac
and it started to act mad.I've bought the apple battery charger but it didn't work as well...
What can I do?please help me I'm getting mad!
thanks

Rechargeable batteries are a known problem with the wireless keyboards. Try a new set of Alkaline AAs and see if that clears the problem. Re-pair the device.

Keyboard goes haywire

I’ve had my iphone for several weeks now, and at least once a day the keyboard goes complete berserk. I’ll go and try and type a letter and it’ll give me a number, a period, or just a space. It happens both during texting and searching the internet. Does anyone else have this problem and what should I do?

Amen amen amen... I have the same exact issues ... Fully charged Zaggkeys constantly have to re-pair or reconnect ... And repeating keys ..... I thought my keyboard was defective, but from a rudimentary search, it is obvious this is not a defect (of my unit) but a very common problem. Too bad. It's a great keyboard otherwise (like having a Steinway piano that doesn't make any sounds)

MBP 13" backlight keyboard goes on and off

Any thoughts ?

Try resetting the PRAM. Shutdown the computer, with your left hand hold down the option+command keys. Power the computer on and immediately wiht your right hand hold down the P key wiht your little finger and with your index finger hold down the R key, wait until your hear the Apple chime twice release al keys and let the machine bootup. If that doesn't work I would suggest taking the computer to an Apple store ASAP and have a Genius address the issue. Hope this helps!

KEYBOARD IS GOING NUTS!!!!!

I've had this problem before, and *thought* it had been taken care of by a previous OSX software update. I have a standard wired keyboard and Mighty Mouse, and what's happening is that when I'm trying to type text or numbers, the keyboard will get a mind of its own and type a "c" or "z" without my fingers being anywhere near those keys. This is an obvious problem when I'm trying to enter formula data in a big spreadsheet for work. Previously, the keyboard's fixation was the letter "k". Please, someone....HELP!! I love my Imac, but this problem threatens to make it completely useless!!!

No, didn't try another keyboard - but may have solved it anyway.
I just set up MS Word, observed the Phantom Typist merrily writing "kkkkkkk..." across the keyboard, then disconnected all the peripherals. Started plugging stuff back in, & didn't get the gremlin again until I turned on the key-mapping program for my game controller. Sooo...looks like all I need to do is keep the key mapping shut down until I'm actually playing a game.
