Keyboard will only type in uppercase, trackpad will high light multiple when clicking, app windows move VERY slow when using corners

I recently spilled a slight amount of water on my Mac Book Pro. I thought I was able to remove and wipe the majority of it off but I believe some may have seeped between my keys. Ever since, keys on my keyboard do not work or they type in all caps, my trackpad will select multiple objects when I click once (i.e. I attempt to open an application and it will select 5 applications and open all), when I use my hot corners to move between windows, the window I click on will 'zoom in' a very slow speed.
Could this all be a result of water damage? Or something further?
Please let me know if more information is needed.
Thanks,
PM

Keyboard will only type *

I'm VERY new to blackberry's - not sure what I did but now the keyboard will only type ***??

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Anytime random strange behaviors creep in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Best!

My PSE12 will only type CAPITAL letters no matter what font I choose. Started doing this yesterday

My PSE12
will only type CAPITAL letter no matter what font I choose. Started doing this yesterday and I can't get back to having upper and lower case letters.

Perhaps you could reset the tools using this method:
1) Launch PSE in Editor Mode
2) click on the Expert Tab
3) At the bottom right corner look for something like this :
This should solve the problem quickly.
Good luck and post back.

dovdov2,
are you saying that when you connect your MacBook Pro to a monitor, your Internet connection slows down, but when you disconnect the monitor, it speeds up again, and that this is reproducible from one day to another?
Does this happen both under OS X and under Windows 7, or only under one of them?
How are you currently connecting your MacBook Pro to your monitor?

Keyboard will only type Alphabet

For the 4th day in a row my MacBook Pro key board will start typing out the alphabet when I am typing a sentance. When I over load it with jidderish it will start working normally again. Is this a virus or something know to the community?

Virus? Certainly not.
Try resetting the PRAM.

I am considering an IPhone5 which I want to "tether" to my laptop and IPad. Does anyone know which network works best. TMobile tell me that they will only tether upto 1GB data, will this be sufficient?

I am considering an IPhone5 which I want to "tether" to my laptop and Ipad. Does anyone know which network works best. TMobile tell me that they will only tether upto 1GB of data, will this be sufficient?

I have the AT&T family plan for use with my laptop, iPhone an iPad with 6GB per month. I tend to use the tethering far more often with the MacBook Pro than the iPad (mine has cellular) and I don't think I've had any month where 1 GB would have been sufficient for tethering. Do they have a plan where they will let you pay for additional tethering? If so I would go to at last 2 GB.
Or look into AT&T.

Phone will only type one letter in text message

The last time I was using my phone I was deleting words from my user dictionary. I realized my phone was dying so I pushed delete and instead of the ones I had selected being deleted, the entire dictionary was just replaced with only three letter words, with about 4-7 copies of each word (this may be a separate problem). Then I saw the option to calibrate the keyboard, I started doing this and the phone died in the middle of it. I don't know if any of this has anything to too with my problem but....
When I plugged in the phone I couldn't text. the phone will type only one letter and then freeze. I can exit to the home screen but the keyboard remains on screen. the phone types normally everywhere but in the messaging box. also I can receive texts fine, and was told by someone that my phone had sent random texts from a month ago when it turned off and on.
Can anyone give any insight to my problem(s)? it is greatly appreciated.

Try installing Smart Keyboard and see if the issue is there with another keyboard... https://market.android.com/details?id=net.cdeguet.smartkeyboardtrial&feature=search_result

Satellite Mouse Pad will only let me scroll, cursor will not move.

Starting to get frustrated with this laptop.
I'm having to resort to using a usb mouse to even get to the page, which something that I don't want to be doing.
The most will not move at all, it'll only let me scroll up and down (when sliding with one finger).
I've tried reinstalling the driver, to no avail.
I've had this laptop for about a year now, never had a problem until now.
It literally came out the blue. Searching on Google, it seems to be a well known issue, but there's not one solid solution to the issue, which is ridiculous.
The mouse only move if I'm holding down either the right click or left click button, which is useless to me.
Any help?

I don’t know what notebook model you have exactly, but if you have some problems using the internal touchpad, i would recommend you to recheck the additional touchpad settings:
Control panel -> mouse -> last tab (click settings button)
If you will not find any settings related to this touchpad issue, please check if the touchpad isn’t disabled. Usually FN + F5 (in some cases FN + F9) would enable or disable the touchpad.
Last but not least the issue could be related to hardware malfunction but before talking about hardware issue, the notebook should be recovered to factory settings.

Firefox will only open once from desktop and won't open new tabs or windows

When I clicked on Firefox's desktop icon this morning it took a solid 5 minutes for the browser window to open, and at that time I just chalked it up to my computer being slow.
Once it did open I soon encountered the first problem: when I clicked on "Open Link in New Window" or "Open Link in New Tab" nothing happened. Subsequently, when I did navigate to a website I was unable to click on any links whatsoever. I closed the window and tried to restart Firefox which is when I ran into the second problem: it wouldn't open. I opened the Task Manager and terminated firefox.exe, attempted to open via both the desktop icon and program folder but had no luck. If I restart my computer I'm able to open just the one browser window but with the same results of the first issue I mentioned.
I've tried all of Mozilla's troubleshooting tips in the "Firefox will not start" section with no luck. I've also uninstalled then reinstalled with no luck.

'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

My cd/dvd drive will only play cd's it will not work for dvd's or games. can some one please help?

Hi

Hello selinahillier, Many times when this happens the DVD laser has become faulty. I have removed the DVD drive, and the DVD drive case, and used a soft cloth and some cleaning solution to clean the DVD Laser and managed to get the DVD working again.
Since DVD drives are as inexpensive as they are now, it might be best to just purchase a new one.
These can be purchased for less than $20.00 USD now.
Here is a link to NewEgg where these drives can be found.
Just some thoughts.

I'm running 10.5.8 on a MacBook Pro and need to update to Java 7 in order to take a software assessment test for a potential job. The Java app will only upgrade from 10.6 or higher. What can I do?

I'm running 10.5.8 on a MacBook Pro and need to update to Java 7 to take software assessment tests online for a potential job. What can I do?

Apple Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 10
Apple Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 17
Apple Java 2013-005
I would suggest you upgrade your computer's OS minimally to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
B. Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

HT4922 Downloaded 5.1.1. to my iphone. Now, Safari will not connect to my server. Can not download web pages and many of my apps. Running very slow sluggish! Is there a fix? Sound like other users are experiencing same problems. Anyone have a solution?

Downloaded 5.1.1 to my iphone. Now, Safari will not connect to my server. Can not download web pages and many of my apps. Email seems to be ok. iphone running slow and sluggish. I have read several other users have experienced the same problem. Any solutions?

Basic troubleshooting steps oultlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
You need to go through all steps in succession until your problem is solved. If going through ALL these steps fails to resolve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

Several questions . one i will be taking lots of notes and would like to know what app is best as i will be wanting to save them to sent to others, secondly what app is it that i would use to change words to voice... i do have an iPad2 64meg and wifi and

i have an iPad 2 and will be taking lots of notes which will have to be saved.. what is the best app i am use to microsoft word .. also i would like to know what app or how to get written to voice.. many thanks..

I have had a great experience with UPAD. You can take notes on PDF files as well as use your finger or a stylus to take notes on a variety of blank page backgrounds. You can then email your notes as a PDF if you want. I know there are other features, but those are the ones I typically use.
What I really like is the writing interface. You can pick line color and thickness. Whe writing area is magnified so you can write easier and the text appears normal size on the page, though I believe you can write without the magnified area to if you want to. You can easily move the writing area where you want it, and it is easy to keep uniform indentation for lists and columns.
It's easy to start using in minutes. I got my iPad last year right before a huge national conference where I wanted to take notes in a lot of educational sessions. I also did not want to lug all the handouts with me across the country. I found UPAD after some research and decided to give it a try. I downloaded all the handouts right before I left. I was able to figure out how to take notes on a PDF as well as create a new notebook for other content during the speaker introductions. And when I got home, I sent some notes to a colleague. All very easy.
I'm sure the description in the app store is much more helpful, but I wanted to share some examples.

Keyboard will only type in uppercase, trackpad will high light multiple when clicking, app windows move VERY slow when using corners
