Keyboard Not Working and Question Mark Folder on Startup

I've got a question for a Mac Genius: What is the cause of my keyboard not working and a grayscreen coming up on startup? I'll give you a little background. I have a 1.83Ghz Macbook that is two years old now...almost exactly. I came back from work yesterday and it was in a semi-frozen state. Two apps were frozen but the finder was still alive. Within 10 seconds of trying to navigate through the Finder, it froze too. I went ahead and tried to restart it, but nothing happened. I held down the power button and it shut off. When I tried to start it back up a gray screen comes up. It makes the chiming sound but goes no where. After about half a minute the folder with the question mark will appear. The first few times I tried it, it seemed like the optical drive was trying really hard to work, but it doesn't try so hard anymore. None of the keys work and the Caps Lock and Num Lock don't light, so I can't use any of the keyboard commands to work my way around (resetting PRAM/using startup disks). The CD is stuck in it because I can't force eject it. I believe the trackpad is also not working, but I couldn't be sure.
Previously I had noticed that when I came back from work I would find Mozilla Firefox using tons of the CPU when it wasn't really doing anything. This heated up the computer and made the fans spin at crazy speeds(6000RPM). I will try the Hard drive in another computer tonight probably because I'm pretty sure that's not the problem, but I would like to be sure.
Any ideas would be helpful! I'm just about to tear it open and see if anything has been physically fried.

I went ahead and tried to eject the CD with an external mouse but it didn't work. What I ended up doing is swapping my hard drive into my friend's computer and discovered that that was the only problem. It appears that my HDD was totally fried because after I booted off of the start-up cd, the HDD was nowhere to be found within disk utility. My computer starts up fine and the keyboard works fine when I have someone else's HDD in mine. I'm really surprised that the Macbook needs a good HDD to operate it's trackpad and keyboard. Thank you for your help! Although now I have a new question; is there any way to salvage the data trapped on my old HDD? Cheers!

[solved] mouse and keyboard not working (and previous fix wont work)

i made a clean default setup with
arch
latest kernel - 2.6.29 i think
xorg 1.6.1
video-intel-legacy
on a 865G intel box + tried usb and ps2 keyboards + usb mouse
when i start X the mouse and keyboard dont work (and i have to hard reset the box) in all of the setups i tried. the AutoAddDevices fix suggested before does not work this time
- without xorg.conf
- with auto-generated xorg.conf (X -confogure)
- with the automatic conf +
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
- with tiny xorg.conf containing only
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
- with dbus/hal enabled and disabled in rc.conf
how i make it work

the setup that works to me now is
automatic xorg.conf with the AutAddDevices False (disable hotplug) lines
dbus and hal enabled in deamons
this lines instruct xorg to use xf86-input-mouse/keyboard instead of evdev. ie it looks like with evdev there is no point in xf86-input-mouse/keyboard

Windows 2008- Account Lock not working and getting Domain Policy access denied

Hi
Windows 2008 Root Domain we tried to Edit the policy and we were getting the error "Access Denied on the Domain Policy template" we resolved by giving Write permission for authenticated user on the Template. later we applied account lock out policy.
but it is not applying and automatically reset to 0 in account lockout tool.
Error:"Access Denied:\\sysvol\Domain.com\policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\Windows NT\SecEdit\GPTmpl.inf.Make sure that you have the right permission to this object.

Hi,
The error message is Access Denied, so it should be a permission issue.
You mentioned that you tested the account lockout in isolated network, it was working fine without any problem, by which did you mean that you didn’t get the Access Denied error message, or account wasn’t lockout out?
If you are facing account lockout problem, here are some troubleshooting articles below for you:

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.

Menu Bar and Keyboard not working

Hi,
My Ipad has encountered some very annyoing issues. Worked fine for 4/5 weeks since purchase and now this has started to happen. I am unable to use Menu Bar at top of screen when Ipad is held in Portrait position. For example when in Safari, cannot input new email address, use back button, use X button. And its same with other applications - when in settings, the options on menu bar at top are not working - As if its Greyed out and not accessible. When I flip Ipad into Landscape position, these options on Menu Bar are then working - very fustrating.
Also same issue affecting keyboard. When holding Ipad in landscape position some keys do not work and they do when Ipad flipped back into Portrait position.
Means i am constantly turning Ipad around in my hand endlessly trying to get it to function making it pointless to use. Only setting that I can see that may be affecting this is Lock rotation - but same issue with this selected or not.
Anyway any help appreciated as Im not very tech savvy and only have Ipad few weeks. I've downloaded no apps, only used it for browsing internet so far. I have taken some photos and videos and really would hate to lose those.
All comments appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Forgot to mention that Ipad also keeps telling me that I cannot get Mail when I click on Mail icon - That Connection to server failed?

My "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys arnt either? any help would be amazing!

my "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys aren't either? any help would be amazing! I use these keys a million times a hour and since I have switched to cc I cant get them to work. track selection makes no difference or if there are markers on the timeline or not.
Anyone else feel me on this?
any help?

Well that still didn't make any kind of difference. I would just do without it but I've becomes really use to it with Avid for so long. I have to admit there are a lot of small moments like this that makes me miss Avid. Any other suggestions? I have checked the keyboard shortcuts a few times and maybe I'm just missing something here...

You've tried deleting and redownloading them and seeing if they then work and tried contacting the developers ? If you have and they can't/won't help then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

You did the wrong things. In the future it's a good idea to remember not to do something when you don't know what you are doing and what happens when you do it.

Hi - I have the exact same model as your MacBook and had a few questions as mine is acting up. I upgraded the ram to 8gb (2x 4GB ram) and ever since then my computer has not been running as smoothly and the start up time is horrendous. Have you encountered this problem? And if so how did you fix? What would you advise me do?
I was thinking of reverting back to the original factory 4GB then rebooting the entire computer. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Jbierrie,
There is an issue with Photoshop specifically related to recent updates in which causes the licensing to revert to trial after a certain number of launches (typically 2-3).
The current workarounds are to either:
- Sign in with your Adobe ID again every few launches
- Uninstall Photoshop CS6 and then reinstall it but don't install any of the updates
The issue with the updates is planned to be fixed in the coming weeks. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Well the error message is in Swedish but says: The installation program database is damaged. Please contact the Adobe support (which is a hard thing to do!!). I use Windows 7 Home Premium with service pack 1.
