Keyboard wedge - please help

Hi,
Im struggling in getting the input from a barcode scanner. I dont want to show a textfield, I simply want to act on the input from the scanner.
I've tried keylistener wich works, but i devides the input into chunks. I've tried using a textfield and it works aswell, but I dont want to display the text (which I must inorder for it to work).
I want to use something similare to System.in but for swing/awt. Eg. when my barcode is scanned I want to catch the string and post it to server. If someone knows, please post some example code.
Thanks in advance!
BR

Did you disconnect the USB keyboard prior to your attempts in downloading the firmware?
Did you try to update from the EFI Firmware app which is located in the Utilities folder?
Have you tried repairing permissions?

My dog got scared and jumped on my bed where my laptop was and then proceeded to rip off the M, Shift, alt option and the left hand apple keys. the space bar is also messed up - i have to slam it in order for it to work - it seems jammed. And that's not all. The apple key that i mentioned is missing - i can't find it anywhere! and i also can't figure out how to fit the keys back on (some little pieces of plastic also came off, i have them here.)

When my iBook G3 600 keys came off, it was a matter of trial and error getting back the scissor key mechanism. Sometimes you have to just fiddle with them until it feel right. I haven't had any problems with my iBook G4 1.42 keyboard.
In a worst-case scenario (like broken parts), you might want to simply replace the keyboard. Seems like an easy thing to do (follow the links for installation instructions).

Keyboard Bug - PLEASE HELP!

I've purchased my Z10 less than 1 week ago and I've noticed this problem the very next day. At first I assumed it was a small problem and it wouldn't happen often but it's been occuring EVERY DAY at least once and it's gotten really irritating now.
The virtual keyboard on the Z10 works perfectly fine, the buttons dont stick, spell check is working properly and I'm able to type with this keyboard with no problems, HOWEVER for some odd reason the keyboard STOPS functioning sometimes while I'm sending an SMS. The keyboard is still visible, I'm still able to press the buttons on the keyboard as they become highlighted whenever I do. However, no actual letter/character appears in the message box no matter how many buttons I press. The only thing which seems to temporarily fix this problem is restarting my blackberry Z10 device which can be very annoying and time consuming.
Please help me out with this problem as I have tried searching online for days and can't find a solution. Is this a problem with the Z10 software? will there be an update fixing this? am I the only one experiencing this problem?
Please note that I have not once dropped my phone, it's been kept in MINT condition with a case on it. Everything else works perfectly fine with my Z10, this is the only MAJOR issue

I just tried exactly what you said. Mis-spelled a word (easy for me) , hit the red underlined word, it popped up a window that said 'no suggestions', I tapped at the end of my sentence and carried on typing. No hang up at all.

I accedently spilled water over my keyboard! PLEASE HELP!

3 days ago, I was doing my work when I accidentally spilled sprite or water onto my iPads Bellkin ultimate keyboard for generation 2 iPad. It still worked, but 10 min later, it just stopped. I tried putting rice on the keyboard because rice is a fast water absorber, and only some keys worked, or the keys just flipped with other keys. I tried researching a cure, and the first step is usually take the batteries out, right, but this keyboard dosn't use batteries. Please help? Anyone?

Can you afford some new silica gel packets? By some and then shake the keyboard to get all the raw rice out of it and put the keyboard and the packets in a large baggie. Let it sit for 4 to 5 days in a cool, dry place like a cupboard. After that try it again.

Z10 Keyboard Issue, Please Help

Hello,
I am hoping that there might be someone here who can help a new blackberry user with a keyboard issue.
The issue is simply that the keyboard will not type anything, whether in emails texts, ect. The phone seems to be working perfectly normally and the keyboard even lets me press keys and plays the keystroke sound, except that it does not actually type anything into any fields.
I have researched this issue and found that for most people this is an issue with the spell checker except my "ignore words with numbers" is and has always been set to "on". (I have even tried turning this "off" and restarting, but it doesnt make a difference)
I have tried restarting the phone (numerouse times), taking out the battery and even hard reboot without any change. The keyboard still does not work.
Magnify mode is set to "off".
I am on the Koodo network in British columbia, Canada and have the latest update (10.1.0.4181).
Anyone have a suggestion?
Thank you.

Did you reboot (pull the battery) while powered on?
If you open the web browser and type in a search, does that enter the typing?

Keyboard Issues, Please help!

Hi I'm using a Windows 7 laptop and I'm frequently having keyboard issues, especially when I'm playing video games, the keyboard would suddenly freeze up and stop working entirely, the temporary fixes that I've had so far are, locking then unlocking my
laptop, and restarting, its been happening really frequently and its really starting to get annoying, additionally, I'm finding that Windows Update itself is causing me a lot of issues, I had it on auto install whenever a new update comes up but then I'd start
getting audio problems, where the sound stops working entirely, and I have to go through a lot of trouble just to get it working again. Does anyone have ideas as to how I can fix this? Thanks!

Hi Eric3497,
“the keyboard would suddenly freeze up and stop working entirely” “additionally, I'm finding that Windows Update itself is causing me a lot of issues, I had it on auto install whenever a new update comes up but then I'd start getting audio problems,”
It seems that you have two issues and they both related to the device. Are all of the keyboard , mouse and audio device USB devices?
please follow these steps to have a troubleshoot:
1.Run the built-in troubleshoot tool to have a diagnostic. Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\Hardware and Sound
2. Update the device driver or reinstall the device from the Device Manager .If it is possible ,you may need to manually download the driver from the manufacturer website.
3.If the issue persists, update the chipset , and then reinstall the USB Controller from the Device Manager.
4.Reinstall the audio driver from the device manager or manually download the driver from the manufacturer website, too.
5.To verify whether this issue is caused by the device as Rick Dee said ,it is recommended to plug in the device to another machine to have a check if it is possible.
Best regards

Keyboard Disabled Please Help!

Does Adobe Encore 2.0 have a function of disabling the keyboard?
I am new to Encore so I started playing around with it. But now, my keyboard doesnt work in Encore. Weird thing is that my keyboard can still work in Premiere, AfterEffects, Photoshop.
In Encore, I cannot use the space bar, delete button and any of the shortcut keys.
Can anyone help??
Thanks!!

That's not a feature of Encore 2.0.
Where are you using these keyboard shortcuts? Do they all not work, or just some?

Hello Jack,
I would be concerned too some of the keys on my keyboard were not working as expected. I found an article that can assist with isolating and troubleshooting issues with the built in keyboard. I recommend following the steps under the section titled, "Some keys don't work as expected" in the following article:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

Keyboard Malfunction - PLEASE HELP

So the other night I fell asleep listening to my itunes and woke up the next morning to a dead battery, big deal right? wrong! I plugged my charger into my laptop and let it recharge for about 20 minutes before i turned it back on. It took longer than usual to boot up, in fact it automatically started up in "safe boot" mode. After a while, it loaded to my desktop and to my dismay i realized 9 of my keys fail to work. The keys (a, q, 1, f1, f11, f12, fn, ctrl, and delete) worked that night before, but for some reason since then do not work. I have never spilt any form of liquid on my laptop so that is not the cause, and i do take good care of it. I have tried everything i know to fix this, but the only way i can get it to type those keys is using the keyboard viewer which gets very annoying after a while. If anybody has a suggestion, I am all ears. Thanks.

oops, sorry. The trouble shooting ideas i first tried came from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1381 and simple tasks such as turning the computer off, letting it charge fully, and restarting.
As for the Hardware test, it found no problems. I tried both the normal test and the extended test.
If nobody has anymore suggestions then I'm going to probably take it in to an apple store today to have it get checked out, I'm just afraid they are going to have to replace the keyboard.

Midi keyboard problems, please help.

My midi keyboard does not work inside Logic when I call up Kontakt. I have double checked everything. The strange thing is, the keyboard works when I use Kontakt as a stand alone. So, this eliminates one other concern I had, a flawed cable. This is crazy. Does anybody have any clue what is going on?

OH MY GOD, I am laughing out loud right now. It WAS the cable in the Environment. I tried pretty much everything in the book and did not even think about looking there. I even transferred all the tracks to a different file (which of course worked). Thanks so much for that advice. I certainly won't make THAT mistake again. This file crashed last night which probably caused that disconnection.
Anyway, thanks.

KeyBoard Shortcut, please help!

Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a shortcut for switching through different IMS when chatting with multiple people.
Thanks

Hi LathehMocha,
There isn't one.
Not even in iChat 3
If there were an option to do this it would show in the iChat Window Menu when you had Text Chats open.

Problem with safari app keyboard ?? Please Help

Hello,
When i enter website address in safari app it does not show space bar in keyboard?
please help.??

You cannot have a space in a URL or any of several other sorts of characters, i.e., ASCII control characters, non-ASCII characters (80-FF hex), reserved characters ($, &, +, etc.), and unsafe characters (space, <, >, etc.).
If any of these characters are required in a URL then they must be URL Encoded. This consists of a % character followed by the two digit hexadecimal value of the character. For example, a space character would be encoded as %20.
