Keyboard input stops after a few characters

Suddenly, I cannot use Firefox 8.0.1. Keyboard input fails after a few characters. Sometimes (but not always), mouse input fails as well. The only button that works when this happens is the "X" (close program) button in the top right corner of the window.
The only things I changed recently were adding FlashGot and Windows Media Player plugins. Firefox worked after each installation and continued to work for at least a couple of days.
Did a complete removal including personal settings, clean installed 8.0.1 without any personal settings, but the problem persists.
I have no other keyboard or mouse input problems with any other browser or programme. (I am submitting this on Chrome browser, and everything is fine.)

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

TS1717 itunes song preview stops after a few seconds---solution?

itunes song preview stops after a few seconds--need a solution??
Thanks

1. Use these DNS: Google and Verizon DNS
Primary DNS = 8.8.8.8 Secondary DNS = 4.2.2.1
2. Then apply these instructions:
Windows XP
On the Start menu, click Run.
In the Open field type cmd and click OK.
In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return(Enter) on the keyboard.
You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
Windows Vista and Windows 7
On the Start menu, point to All Programs > Accessories and then right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator from the shortcut menu. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return(Enter) on the keyboard.
You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
Your problem should be 100% solved

Photoshop CC 2014 stop after a few seconds

I'm a CC subscriber and I recently updated my photoshop CC to photoshop CC 2014.
I can start Photoshop but it automatically stops after a few seconds. I've already tried to uninstall / install multiple times without any success.
When I read the file "amt3.log" in my temp dir, I can see "[ERROR] | | | | AMT | | | 7188 | ERROR: Failure Validating Product License!".
So it seems like a licensing issue.
Did anyone faced this issue?
Thanks for your help

I have the exact same error on the log file. I even tried the "nuclear solution" with no more results...
But as I tested the nuclear solution, I uninstalled Lightroom (which worked fine) and I've got the same issue, but I solved it by manually installing it (i.e without using the cc application) and it worked fine.
The installer I used for ligthroom : https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroom
However, I can't get my hands on a similar installer for Photoshop CC.

NW_JAVA_700SP14_SR3 decompressing stops after a few seconds

Hello, everybody,
I downloaded NW_JAVA_700SP14_SR3 parts 1 to 3 sucessfully, but when decompressing NW_JAVA_700SP14_SR3.part1 it stops after a few seconds without an error message.
When checking the archiv there is no error too.
Has anybody an idea about this behavior.
Thanks, Ruediger

Hello Ruediger,
which zip-tool do you use? Is it up-to-date?
Is the size of the 3 files equal to the one in my screenshot? --> screenshot
And last, do you have enough disk space?

Sound from videos stops after a few seconds on Quicktime

I bought a new Samsung camera and took some videos at a concert. When I put the videos on my MacBook Pro and try to play them on Quicktime, the sound stops after a few seconds. When I try to play them on iMovie or use them in iMovie, not only is there no sound after a few seconds but the sound that is there is sped up.
The audio works fine in VLC but doesn't seem to work with anything else on my Mac. I've tried Perian, Flip4Mac...
Codecs: H.264, AAC
Help?

I've seen this issue in the past. I think it is connected to the operating system itself. I say this because I reinstalled the os using itunes and then restored a backup. Then garageband started behaving again. Then the issue came back - after I did an os update. So I'd try reverting back to a fresh version of the latest os, and then restoring your apps using a backup.
Hope it helps

Oracle Names server stops after a few seconds

Hi all,
Working as a Server admin and DBA installed Oracle report server. They came to me saying the Oracle Names Server stops after a few seconds.
There are 2 windows 2003 R2 32 bit servers, active passive config. The first server runs the service fine, this second server has the issue. Both servers were build the same..very strange that one would work and the other now.

New update ios 7.1.1 causes podcasts to stop after a few minutes

After the update to ios 7.1.1 on my Iphone 5 my podcasts stop after a few minutes. Then I hit the play button again and the podcast again plays for a few minutes and it stops again. Etc. Etc.

Hi Quasarseggventures,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand that the Podcasts application is unexpectedly quitting when playing different podcasts. There may be a few different troubleshooting steps that could resolve this for you. I would suggest using the multitasking menu to close Podcasts and open fresh. If you have already done this or the issue continues afterwards, I suggest restarting your iPhone and possibly deleting the app and downloading it fresh. All of the steps you need are outlined in the following article.

On my ipad video streaming stops after a few seconds only sound is playing .what could be the reason.

on my ipad 2 video streaming stops after a few seconds, only sound is playing .what could be the reason and how to solve this problem.
I have a feeling that it may have started after upgrading to ios6.

Hi,
Is this failing with Error 20 ?
Sometimes in a the router or modem if you use Port Forwarding then you are your Buddy may be missing the Screen Sharing Port.
The Screen Sharing part uses a different port to the Audio port.
As the port for Audio (And therefore Video) are known and can be port Forwarded it is the random Screen Sharing port that can be the problem.
iChat 3 info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1507 that includes Bonjour and Jabber info
iChat 4 info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2282
If you are not using (or your Buddy) UPnP then I would change the method of opening the port to that.

Hi Patrick,
Yes, a very frusterating issue indeed. Someone else had mentioned a possible issue with real player, I tried getting rid of that and same issues. I even got completely rid of firefox for the moment. Guess what, problem still is persisting. I think this means it maybe something else altogether. I will go back to re-add firefox after I get this straightened out but now using Chrome for the moment.
What I've also found out is that the sound can be restarted when I unplug and replug in the 3.5mm speaker cable from the audio output jack on the back of the computer. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hello GrahamBIOM,
I understand while viewing a video or listening to some different content, you lose audio, is that correct? I will do all I can to assist you with this issue.
Does the issue occur when you have headphones inserted? If you are not sure, if you have a set of headphones available could you test that please?
Please respond back at your earliest convenience with results.
Thanks

My bootcamp download stops after a few seconds. it takes forever but does not move. Could someone help?

my bootcamp download stops after a few seconds. it takes forever but does not move. Could someone help?

For Windows Support Software: the download size is around 600MB - 1GB. Depends on your Mac Model. There are server problems but a good idea is to check from iStat menu's or something else if there is some activity.
Also, make sure that in your network settings:
Uncheck Automatic Proxy Detection
Uncheck Passive FTP Mode

Audio recording stops after a few seconds on iPad 1. Any suggestions?, Audio recording stops after a few seconds on iPad 1. Any suggestions?

On an IPad 1 even after a full restart, and only application running, I'm finding that Audio recoding stops after a few seconds. The duration seems to be fairly random between 5 seconds to 25 seconds. Creating other tracks seems OK.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I've seen this issue in the past. I think it is connected to the operating system itself. I say this because I reinstalled the os using itunes and then restored a backup.

My ipad stops after a few seconds, says slide to power off/cancel. What is the problem?

What could be wrong with my ipad? it stops after a few seconds with "slide to power off" noted.

Settings are OK, but the internal power supply is on the verge of failure. Soon, you will not be able to turn the Time Capsule on at all after it turns off.
Take the Time Capsule to an Apple Store....if you have one near you....to discuss your options.
Otherwise, contact Apple Support.

Import stops after a few seconds

I just bought a Canon Elura 80 a few months ago, and have just taped an hour of incredibly sweet baby stuff from our newborn onto a used tape (oh boy, I hope it's not the tape...) anyway, I had no trouble the first time importing using iMovie HD from an unused tape. This time, however, the tape stopped after a few minutes, even though the footage did not. I rewound, rebooted, restarted everything, and no matter what, the computer keeps stopping the tape after a few seconds.
I'm not an experienced user by any means. Any chance there is some kind of setting or memory problem?.... It seems to want to import this clip into the pre-existing file, which is fine, since that's also baby stuff, but maybe there's a limit on how much can go in one file?... please help!

Ok, I tried changing the settings to import as individual clips to OFF. What I did was to go into iMovie HD preferences and clicked of the button for "start a new clip with each scene break." This did not help.
I am not sure how to change the mode of recording, but with the tape rewound all the way it only gives me 61 minutes of time, so I think that is ok.
I don't know what the file vault program is, or how to turn it off.
I don't have an external HD, and my camera is connected directly to my computer through a firewire, so that should be ok.
The most frustrating thing about this is that when I play it on the camera, it plays just fine, it's just that on import the computer seems to stop the camera.
More suggestions?

Iphone music stops after a few songs

When I use my iPhone to listen to music it stops after a few songs. Everytime I use it. It is driving me crazy because I use it when I run. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Either you hit PAUSE accidentally every time (which I doubt), or there is sth. wrong with the settings (check them out under Settings > Music). If not, look over the Settings in iTunes, in case sth. you don't want is checked there. If neither that does work, bring to an Apple Store, and have them look into it.
(In the meanwhile, for you to not stop running, just to change the song, or get the music playing again, ask Siri. At least it won't impair your getting/staying fit!)
