Keyboard sends duplicate events [solved]

I'm having a problem with my keyboard. I'm not sure if this is a kernel/hardware issue or X11. Whenever I press a key (the letter "a", for example) it sends "a" twice when I press down, then once when I release the key. I haven't made any major changes to my system other than installing PulseAudio. I think I may have enabled HAL for the first time ever while I was setting up PulseAudio, but it doesn't seem to make a difference whether HAL is running or not.
I'm pretty sure it's not anything in my xorg.conf, but I'll post the relevant section anyway:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "kbd"
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Me too.
I think it's xf86-input-keyboard, but I don't know for sure.
Maybe try
pacman -Qs xf86
As far as I "imagine that stuff"... that evdev thing is enough for keyboard & mouse, but if you're afraid of experimenting you might be better of waiting until someone who actually knows stuff responds.
( I had HAL all activated along, but after I for some imaginary reason installed what looked like kbd & mouse drivers for xorg, I had double keyboard and super accelerated mouse with auto-double-click, so I removed the two xf86-something's again)
edit: oh, to late, np!

My problem is that my iCal won't sync from my first-generation iPad to my computer, and the computer sends events multiple times back to the iPad... which is now full of duplicate events. I'm NOT on iCloud.

I'm just an old lady who doesn't know a lot about this stuff, but I do love my iPad and miss my portable calendar! My problem is that my iCal won't sync from my (first-generation, cheaper of the two models) iPad to my computer, and the computer sends events multiple times back to the iPad... which is now full of duplicate events. I'm NOT on iCloud. I've had this problem for nearly a year now. My Really Really Smart son couldn't fix it for me.

There's no simple answer to that. My calendar goes back to 2004 and is moderately busy; it took around an hour. It's possible that you've hit a slow period on the server - it happens.
In order for it to work, your calendars should show on the MobileMe site, they should be listed under your MobileMe login name in the calendar list in iCal (calendars listed under 'On My Mac' will not sync) and your MM account details have to be entered in iCal Preferences>Accounts (this should have happened by itself).
If it's not working please see the page I linked to.

Photoshop layer move and layer duplicate event ids

I am running PSCC 2014 on a mac. I work with a wacom table and keyboard shortcuts. I work fast without looking look at the keyboard. Often end up moving layers, duplicating layers inadvertently by pressing the wrong keys.
I have identified the keyboard shortcuts responsible for the layer shift/duplication and was able to record an action.
The idea is to setup a Javascript alert when the layer moves or duplicates using the Scripts Events Manager Photoshop Event dialog.
I have not been able to successfully add the Photoshop Event using the Event ID code 'copy' and ‘move’ listed in the Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Javascript Scripting Reference guide.
The Adobe scripting listener plugin does not record the layer movement and layer duplication events.
When I replicate the problem the History pallet registers both, the layer copy and layer move events as a ‘move’ history state.
Other than Javascript Scripting Reference guide Is there a way to find out the exact event Id for a layer move and layer duplicate events?

sorry, I wasn't aware you're using a mac. I know that in Windows, you can run additional software that will send you an alert every time you accidentally press those keys. It can even block the layer shift/duplication if you choose. I've just tried a sample here on my system and it works perfectly - every time cmd (in my case ctrl) is pressed, a tooltip at the mouse cursor will pop up, saying "CTRL is pressed". Additionally, whenever I press ctrl+option+drag, the tooltip instead says "Layer has been moved". I'm positive this can also be done on the mac.
you should look into a key remapping program for the mac that resembles AutoHotKey for Windows (which is what I'm using). It will allow you to send alerts every time you press those key/mousebutton combinations by accident. This is a solution I bet you can take care of outside of Photoshop, meaning that you won't need to rely on javascripting or anything.
Here's a webpage that gives a full list of mac software which are similar to AutoHotKey:
AutoHotkey Alternatives for Mac OS X - AlternativeTo.net
Keyboard Maestro seems to be the best bet but I wouldn't know for sure. Your solution will be in one of those programs for sure.
By the way - I tried BCM's panel and it works perfectly!

My sms texts are still sending duplicates to some contacts

i'm still finding my iPhone 5c sends duplicate sms texts to some of my contacts. Marco49 suggested one solution but I'm sorry to say that didn't solve the problem.

Are you referring to an actual SMS, or an iMessage? If iMessage, do you have your settings set to Send As SMS if iMessage fails? It could be they are temporarily out of data range, or you could be as well, but it was just enough to begin the send. Are these text bubbles blue or green?
If this is an actual SMS, then I suggest that you contact your carrier, as SMS is a carrier function.

Sending an Event to Result Set iView

Hi,
in the standard MDM Result Set iView, there is a provision to generate an EPCF/URL Event. But is there a way to send an event into this standard result set iView?
I want to create a custom filter in web dynpro and filter the Result Set iView.
Please let me know if you know of a provision to do this.
Regards,
Nitin

Thanks, issue was solved.
Ivan,
I am using the following code:
For Item Details
                WDPortalEventing.fire(
     "urn:com.sap.pct.mdm.appl.masteriviews",
     "selectRecord",
     "MDMSystemAlias=SAP_MDM_Repository_Customers&MDMTableName=CUSTOMERS&mdmId="
     + rec.getId() //RecordId.
     + "&RefreshSearch=true");
For resultset
               WDPortalEventing.fire(
     "urn:com.sap.pct.mdm.appl.masteriviews",
     "getRecordByIds",
     "MDMSystemAlias=SAP_MDM_Repository_Customers&MDMTableName=CUSTOMERS"
     + "&id="
     + rec.getId()) ; //recordId

Annoying duplicate events

I have been trying to get rid of duplicate events in my iCal calendar for ages and it seems like it is a never ending battle. I have three Macs, all with the latest OS, and other software. I also have an iPhone 3Gs and I prefer to keep their calendars all in sync.
I have tried using MobileMe to sync my calendars and Google CALdav calendars via Spanning Sync. Both ways yield the same problem. A few days ago when I had some extra time, I manually deleted all the duplicate events I could find in my calendar, then I archived it. I used a utility to locate the duplicate events. I then went to my other two Macs and I imported the same archive, which should have made all three Macs have the same calendar.. I also have an iPhone 3Gs, where I disabled the calendars before I did this, then I enabled the calendar again on my iPhone and allowed it to download all the events again.
Another day or two later, lots of events where I removed duplicates are now duplicated again. This tends to happen with the last day of a recurring event, but sometime its a middle day where the duplication occurs. I rarely see the problem with non-recurring events. In fact, had three events that had over 300 duplicates, which fortunately have not returned. Removing those duplicates was a pain in the neck.
This is a minor issue, but it is very annoying. If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this problem, please let me know.

I have the same problem: icalc make a duplicate of all events. This happens in former time too, when apple make a new software update. I solved it by delete every double event.
Why apple can not get rid of these problem!!! The events are very important for me.
Dupe deleter don´t find the duplicates!
Apple have to update icalc with a funktion, that find these duplicates and make it possible to delete them!!!
Knows anyone a possibility to delete the duplicates comfortably?

Prevent Sharepoint 2010 workflow to send duplicate emails

I have SharePoint 2013 as environment but am using SharePoint 2010 workflow on a list. There is a field in this list called "Order Status" which has different status such as Processing, Shipped, Cancelled, Hold. There is another list which updates
this Order Status. I have the workflow send out an email when the Order Status changes to Processing and another email when Order Status changes to Shipped.
The issue is that there are multiple emails being sent out when any of these status changes to either Processing or Shipped. There is no other workflow attached to this list
How do I prevent the workflow to send duplicate emails? I have seen that a flag could be setup to track the email sent once but that method does not work correctly and it still sends out duplicate emails. Or maybe I am not doing this correctly
Any suggestions, comments or have anyone resolved this successfully
Thanks Snehal H.Rana SharePoint Consultant

Hi Snehal
If you check the workflow history, you will probably see that every time an item is added or modified, the workflow runs twice. That’s why you’re receiving two email notifications.
The reason for this is timing. If your workflow is very short and the SharePoint server is very slow, the first instance of the workflow may finish well before the item is fully saved and committed to SharePoint. As the item is being processed, the workflow
event receiver can fire again, and start another instance of the workflow.
The solution for this problem is to add a step at the end of your workflow which will pause the workflow for a few minutes .
Another Option is to use a Flag.For Setting up flag correctly check the following link

Duplicate Events on iCal: How to Delete them.

I was having a problem deleting multiple events, particularly recurring imported ones. I could spend hours deleting them only to have them come back as soon as I scrolled a month forward or backwards. Sometimes events would appear 4 or 5 times on each date. It drove me insane.
This is the way to fix the duplication problem. You have to go back to the actual date you originated the event and modify it there. For example if you set up someone's birthday on October 3, 1998 in your calendar-regardless of the format (MAC or PC) you need to modify that date specifically.
I found that there are two versions of the same event on that specific date (10.3.98). They both appear as timed events versus ALL DAY checked events.
1. Delete the second (or third, fourth, fifth) one first, you might not be able to delete the top one right away, but you will soon.
2. Once you delete the second (or third, fourth and fifth) the first one becomes a recurring ALL DAY event.
3. After deleting the lower non-recurring one(s), then modify the top recurring event in some fashion-I found any minor editing or anything really typically fixes it. If you want to delete both events in 98, then this is the place to do it.
4. If you don't want to delete the entire event altogether, then simply modify the event as you wish and select DONE.
The key is finding the actual date of input regardless of the software you used to create the event.

How to remove duplicate events in my ical icloud calendars?

OS X 10.9.1
I have too much duplicate events in my icloud calendars.
How can I remove them automatically?
Is there any App available that works?
Thanks

Thats a good tip Reggie.
For anyone else reading this post, keep in mind that if you see "duplicates" with the MobileMe calendar it may mean you are seeing two separate copies of the same calendar. Before spending time deleting individual events read this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3505

Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly. Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync. Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

Solutions?

No, I never really found an easy solution. I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device. In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs. A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup. It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad. But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost. When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might. If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it. I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

How do I delete duplicate events in my iCal?

Using SyncMate to sync my calendar and contacts from my Droid X to my iMac (MAC Office doesn't work since I upgraded to Lion). Seemed successful. However, I now have duplicate events in my iCal. How can I delete the duplicate events?
