Keyboard problems (typing like t3his7) PLEASE HELP

Just a few hours ago my apple keyboard started typing like th7is4 or like why2 do8es my8 ke2yb8or8ad ty8pe like8 th7is
It's only on the first line of letters though.
I've tried everything from restarting my computer, rebooting it in safe mode, going to system preferences and turning off the keyboard and mouse.
I've done a little research and they say it might have to do with something I pressed, I might have activated "NUMLOCK", but unfortunely my keyboard does not have "clear" or "NUMLOCK"
PLEASE HELP!
I have a iMac, with the aluminum wireless keyboard. Just bought a year ago running on 10.6.8.
THANKS.

If you have access to a usb keyboard, does not have to be a Mac kb, you could plug it in and check if it is just the kb, not something deeper.
If the problem is the MB keyboard, you could try, with the MB turned off, jiggling the keys back and forth and generally treating it as if some keys are stuck. Beyond that, you could look into replacing the kb.
Good luck.

Again without stating the trouble shooting steps you have taken, its hard to direct you with any information.
Try a different port on the computer.
Does the iphone beep when u plug it up. ?
Plug iphone into computer and give it 3 to 4 minutes to see if it connects and is running slow.,
Delete the apple mobile device from your computer.
Upgrade itunes to newest version.
Is you USB cord defective ?
Any USB 3.0 on your system ? .
Delete or Disable any antivirus program on your computer ?
I will tell u the problem is your computer not the phone.
We could do this for hours.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Developer 6 Timer Problem... Please help

Hi all,
I have installed Developer 6(Oracle Product) on my system. I am facing a strange problem whenever I try to use Create_Timer built in. The cursor moves to starting of the Item being modified as soon as the space bar is pressed (timed for timer expiration). If I remove the Built-in the problem is resolved.
Please help urgently.
Regards
Anand

Upgrade to the latest patch and the problem shoudl go away - this issue was fixed I think in 6.0.8.13+
You can also try setting Keey Cursor position to Yes on the item.

If the phone was NOT unlocked, it can't work or be activated with any other carrier than AT&T. It CAN'T be used with Tigo or Movistar.
Your post makes very little sense. Maybe you can get some help with English.

Please Help to solve...

Hi Ahmed,
In iTunes, go to the Store in the left menu, select iTunes Store, wehn it opens, make sure you are on the home screen (icon of a house in the menu bar) and from the righthand side, select Account.
Next you will see all of your account information. Just a little don, you will find: Apple ID overview, there it says, Authorised computers; click on the button to deauthorise.
And you should be done.
Grtz, Carl.

This is an annoying problem for many people. Most likely your dock connector (on the bottom where you plug in your phone) is dirty or screwed up and is probably just coincidence that it happened after you updated. Some people have had success cleaning the port with a dry clean tooth brush. There is a long discussion going on at the thread I linked below. Good luck...

Hi,
I'm trying to build a chat server in Java on Linux OS.I've created basically 2 classes in the client program.The first one shows the login window.When we enter the Login ID & password & click on the ok button,the data is sent to the server for verification.If the login is true,the second class is invoked,which displays the messenger window.This class again access the server
for collecting the IDs of the online persons.But this statement which reads from the server causes an exception in the program.If we invoke the second class independently(ie not from 1st class) then there is no problem & the required data is read from the server.Can anyone please help me in getting this program right.I'm working on a p4 machine with JDK1.4.

I�ll be very thankful if anyone corrects the mistake for me.Please help.

You're connecting to the server twice. After you've successfully logged in, pass the Socket to the Messenger class.
public class Messenger {
    Socket connect;
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        Messenger mes = new Messenger(args[0]);
    Messenger(Socket s, String strg) {
        this.connect = s;
        CreateWindow();
        setupEvents();
        LoginData(strg);
        fram.show();

Activation problems with Cingular. Please help very frustrated

Ok, here is the deal, I live in Orlando, FL most of the time, but I am in Michigan and I bougt 2 iphones today, that was 1000 bucks, plus 200 in security deposits. I went to cingular, payed the deposit, and now that im at home, i cant register the product. I have been on the phone with cingular suppost getting different reasons why i cant answer but i still want to check it out here. Im getting an address verification problem. The guy is saying that when we payed the sucurity deposit, we put our florida market address on file with the Pre Approved Credit Check Number. THere saying our sim cards are michigan sim cards, and its not letting me register because of the sim cards are not in the same market as the credit check number. I tunes keeps giving me an error of address though. Is anyone receiving this same problem? The error is saying that they cannot verify the address on file, as the address that im typing in, even though it is the same address. We tried changing everything to michigan, and still got the same problem. We changed the address on the credit check number, and the address that im trying to register in michigan.
Please Help
Rodd,
Thanks guys
You can only imagine that im upset not being able to even power the thing up. It wont let you go past the emergency call feature since its not activated.
*****

Heres what you have to do Rodd...I used to be a RSM for Cingular.
First you need to cancel your first activation because your sim cards have been set up with activation in Michigan you will get a Michigan area code, prefix, etc. If you did not set it up with the exact are that you paid the deposit in, then you will not be able to activate it.
Ex: if I live in Texas, but want a California number, I have to go to Cali and set up my account, and then come back to Texas and I will have my Cali number while living in Texas.
If you tried to set it up wrong to many times it flags your account.
Either go back to the store you got them in and pay the security deposit again, or go to the closest ATT store in the area you would like to have your area code, prefix, etc. in.
Example: if you want a Michigan number, then go to Michigan..and set up your account all in the same place that you want your number....Billing addresses can be different but the activation address will be where the iPhone number is given from.
Hope this helps..God bless

Immportand. Problems with MB. Please help.

Hello
Im having a problem with my PC in the moust unpleasent moment as I can’t do my college work and I cant afford new PC in the next 4 months, so any help with my problem will be grealty appriciated.
OK.
Here is my problem.
When I work and that’s usualy using Internet and Office XP my PC is starting to slow down (mouse cursor is scroling very slow, I cant close windows) and afther a while its turning off. Whell its not turn off exactly because CPU, GPU and PSU fans are still working but the monitor is turing on stand by. When this happens I can’t do restart so I have to puss power on/off button on the case of the PC to turn the PC off. If I try to turn in on afther that NumLock and CapsLock indicators on the keyboard will flash for a second as well as monitor and again only CPU, GPU and PSU fans works but the system is not starting. This happened several times and every time till now I waited for a day to start my PC again. That was till the last time. Now afther 4 days I still can’t to start my PC.
NOTE.
When I opned the case four led diodes that are on my MSI mainboards were lightning red. In the manual explanation for this is “The procesor might be damage or not instaled properly. Damage/discharge lithium batery”
I doubt that the problem is procesor because the PC will never start if the procesor is damaged of instaled properly.
Iv also changed lithium batery but the problem remained.
And another thing. PC Alert 4 somethimes showd that CPU and system tempetarure were 78 C. Afther this restart the system and went in bios to see if that was the real temperature but the bios showed 32 C for procesor and 22 for system.
I have the latest drivers, bios and updates for windows. Iv checked for viruses with the latest updates for Pc-cillin 2002 and I didn’t find any viruses. Iv cheked every componets on other configuratios and they worked fine.
Now a frend of me told me that the cause of problem are condenzator on mainboard araund the procesor.
If you know whats is the problem please help me to resolve it.
Thank you..

Please tell us more about your system, including PSU.
It sounds very, very much like a melted condensator. It is not hard to check:
Open case and look for brown or darkcoloured... yecch... on the motherboard. Another symtom will be harder and harder to start and more and more frequent shut downs.
There are people here I believe that can guide you to change them. I would get another board because the problem might happen again. In either case, save all important work, logins, etc. to an external unit. Mail it to a friend if nothing else is available.

Holy crap, I got it to work.
Essentially, I just waited until DiskWarrior reached Step 9 and told it to skip the step before it had a chance to freeze. It skipped successfully, moved on, rebuilt and replaced the faulty directory files.
So far the computer is booting like normal, I can log in, and I'm currently copying all of the data to an external as I type this.
I still have no idea why the computer wouldn't mount or boot to any drive, but I guess I'll deal with that later.

A few new problems with my G5. Please help!

Ok I have fixed my graphics card dilemma however the monitor still occasionally plays up (maybe the card is cooked somewhere but still works).
1. I have a problem that I really want to fix and it's about the Bluetooth on the Mac. I don't have a Bluetooth card but what I am using is a HP USB Bluetooth stick. I can send files to my mobile easily from the computer, but when it comes to sending things back onto my Mac from the mobile, it doesn't respond. When I send an item from the mobile, a window appears on the Mac saying "incoming file transfer" and it just idles at 'Calculating time & status'. How do I go about fixing this?
2. Another thing, I cannot access certain sites I visit because of Rosetta. I have no clue on how to turn Rosetta off for Safari or Firefox. I tried Apple+I on the application it self and looked for any boxes that were ticked from previous advice. But I cannot find a box that says to turn off Rosetta.
• My computer is a G5
• Power PC
• Leopard 10.5.5
3. One more Problem I wish to deal with once and for all.
I have a video capture device called a Canopus ADVC-100. I use it to capture videos from VCR, etc. I also want to get it hooked up to my gaming console and record gameplay to post on the internet. The problem is, when I open up Final Cut PRO or Empia Capture, the screen just flickers. When I turn my console settings to Pal-50, it works perfectly. But the problem is that some games only work on Pal-60. Is there a way to solve this problem and make Pal-60 work on my Mac?
If you can give out help to any of these problems please number your answers accordingly so I know what your talking about.
Thanks,
Sev

Hi Seva,
1. Are you using the powered USB port in front of the Mac tower, or the port on the keyboard?
2. In Safari/Help/Installed plug-ins you should find: Shockwave for Director
Macromedia Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 10.1.1 — from file “NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave”. Your plug-ins are found in Library/Internet Plug-ins/NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave, nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt, Flash Player.plugin, flashplayer.xpt along with others. If these plug-ins are not there, web browser are unable to find them.
Because you have upgraded from a previous version OS, you will have to locate them and move them manually. Look in Users/yourname/Library/Internet Plug-ins.
3. What display do you have? I have mine set to 96 Hertz.
Regards
