Keyboard start typing and make "Funk" sound by itself after upgrading to OS X Mavericks

After I upgraded to OS X Mavericks, whenever I press the Home key (↖︎) OS X starts typing "~6" characters in Terminal and making the sound called "Funk".
Also this happens after wake up and power up and randomly.
On the login screen it always start making the "Funk" sound like crazy.
I did reset keyboard shortcuts, removed and closed running programs, changed keyboard layouts, reset SMC and PRAM, but I can't stop it happening. I can induce it by pressing the Home key in terminal and wake up from sleep, but other cases I don't know what causes this. The problem appear just randomly even when I'm using the computer or not...
This is driving me crazy.

This helped me: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21185411#21185411 (Probably)
Restarting, sleep mode, shut down doesn't seem to have any effect. I plugged out, plugged in, the problem still occured. I restarted, and put it in a different USB port and seems to be solved now.

While typing, the keyboard starts typing multiple letters. I'm fed up of this. I don't think I am doing something at my own, it's happening at its own. Is it because of some problem in the hardware since OS and system refresh could not resolve this.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If you have done this like I describe above and the problem continues I suggest you contact Apple Support or make an appointment at an Apple Store and have your iPad examined by a technician.

Hi ChrisBell,
my Pixi shows me the missed calls in a list of its own? I don't have many, so maybe I'm missing something. But I agree with your half-ranting to some degree. As a long-time Palm-user (my last phone was a Treo 680, terrible form factor, good UI), I am really disappointed with the standard software on this phone. Memos and Tasks, which AFAIK were there and useful even on the first Newton's, have regressed beyond the point of usefulness now (solution: Toodledo and Done!, at least for now).
But ChrisBell: if you feel up for it, you could start tinkering. Many people love these phones so much they have started developing patches to solve the obvious problems skimmed over by developers. Try looking up "webosquickinstall" and "preware", and you will find over 300 patches and a lot of free software to help you out. I am not a computer wizard myself, but I am not scared of them either, and I have been able to make good use of all these extras made available by the community.
just a thought, might help you out on a few of your half-rants

Did you make sure that your security software allows iTunes to contact Apple during the restore process? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

Sorry, can't help you much with Ubuntu issues, I am a new Ubuntu user myself; except that you have two versions of Flash appearing in your Plugins Installed listing. Not sure if it will solve that particular problem, but you need to delete the Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124 version.

Bookmarks and reading lists don't work after upgrading to ios6 on ipad

Bookmarks and reading lists don't work after upgrading to ios6 on ipad

Your bookmarks file may be corrupt. Navigate to /[UserName]/AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/[profile_name]. Either rename places.sqlite to places.sqlite.corrupt (or whatever) in case this isn't the problem, or delete places.sqlite. Start/Restart Firefox. The icons for sites that have a favicon should return after you visit each site.

After upgrading to OS X Mavericks syslogd needs lot of memory and cpu, system is very slow

After upgrading to OS X Mavericks the system is very slow. securityd and syslogd are using 50% of cpu and memory is also used by syslogd and kerneltask (8 GB out of 12). After rebooting the system it runs very well, a view days later (without reboot, only hibernating) the situation is the same.
Looks like a problem in OS X. Any solutions?

I haven't worked out the LDAP messages but I noticed at other times I was seeing lots of album art messages from BlackBerry desktop. I'd already uninstalled the app but it still had processes running. I followed this link to remove completely; http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/57023/how-to-uninstall-completely-black berry-device-manager
CPU levels have been noticeably lower ever since.

Just adding a point to Paul's suggestion of suppliers. (Congrats on getting to 5 figures, Paul)
In North America contact OWC …        Upgrade Apple iMac Memory
In Europe contact Crucial.com …       RAM Memory Upgrade
Both companies have facilities to guide you and will recommend the correct memory package to meet whatever needs you describe to them.
There may be benefits buying from your own geographical location insofar as Shipping charges, Local sales taxes and Exchange rates. Check out the basic memory costs and do your sums.

Re: Satellite L500 - Keyboard starts typing Giberrish

Hi
Wondering whether someone can help. I recently purchased a Satellite L500 and the keyboard is giving problems. Every day two or three times it starts typing giberrish - i.e I type L it will type another letter and so on - and it only fixes the problem by doing a reboot.
Any idea what may cause this problem or how it can be fixed? Its a brand new machine so I am surprised by the problem?
Many Thanks
Partha

Hi Partha,
> Its a brand new machine so I am surprised by the problem?
That makes no difference. Such problems or other ones can happen always even the notebook is few days old.
Regarding your problem: Have you checked the keyboard input language? I dont know which native language you want to use but I would recommend removing all other languages.
Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Language > Details
In worst case if it would be a hardware issue, you should get a new keyboard for free from an authorized service provider due warranty.
