If you are in the habit of eating and drinking while using your computer, your keys may be dirty. Use a can of compressed air or a brushed vacuum hose to clear out the dirt & crumbs from underneath the keys.
If you spilled liquid on the keyboard...
Immediately disconnect all peripherals, power cord & remove the battery. Turn the computer over with the lid partly open and the hinge facing upward to let the liquid drain. Do not flop it over and lay it flat - you want to separate it from the moisture. Place paper or cloth towels under the machine to sop up the mess.
After the computer disgorges whatever you spilled on it, don't turn it on for 72 hours or longer. You want to computer to dry out completely before turning it on again.
Some users here swear by hairdryers. Blow drying the innards may bake whatever was in the liquid onto delicate computer components. Better to let the computer air dry.
Use plain tepid water to clean out the computer. If you spilled iced beverage more than likely this ice fried the hot motherboard.
Sugary, acidic or milky drinks will almost always cause problems later on as the residue starts slowly corroding the computer innards.
Swab down any sticky parts with distilled water or denatured alcohol.
If none of the above works, you will need to take the computer to a repair shop. Apple Care does not cover liquid or food damage.

I downloaded a show on itunes and it will not play the last 15 minutes. It just stops and can't go any further. How do I fix this?

I downloaded a show on itunes and it will not play the last 15 minutes. It just stops and will not go any further. What can I do? I am using a pc.

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Sounds like you have VoiceOver (one of the accessibility features) 'on'. Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut (or Triple-Click Home depending upon the iOS version).
If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes (after typing in your passcode via the tap/double-tap process) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064

My finder is not working. It won't relaunch and I can't access any files through it. How can I fix this?

Also, my battery life is at about 2 hours with only Safari and Google Chrome open. I have a 1-year old 13 inch Macbook Pro. I made a different user and the finder worked on there, but I'd like to make it work on my main account since that has all my files.

Try a cleaning disc. You can get them at places like Radio Shack.
If nothing helps your optical drive has probably failed. You can replace it or purchase an inexpensive external drive. Don't buy the Apple SuperDrive as it won't work with macs that have a built in drive.

All new keyboards need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and above for full functionality.
Rather short-sighted of Apple perhaps, but that seems to be a trend these days.
I'm afraid the only fix is to upgrade to SL. Personaly, I'd take it back and get a refund and seek an older keyboard or a third-party one elsewhere.

How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business!

How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business! I could understand if they didn't know, but it is all over the Internet! When I went in to have it revert back to os6 (which worked fine!) I was actually asked if I had done any research before I installed the upgrade! As if this is the consumer's fault for being dumb enough to fall for the upgrade!

That is not what I have discovered, nor what others have discovered, nor what I was told when I went the Genius Bar. I cannot remotely mirror to my MacBook Pro and it only started the day after I installed the upgrade. We tested it with an iPad that had not been upgraded, no problem.

Some older scanners don't support presets. If this is the case, you can try this workaround as taken from this technical note Error: Bad Parameter | Acrobat.
In the Configure Presets dialog, choose the scanner attached to your computer from the Scanner pop-up menu.
From the File menu, choose Create > PDF from Scanner > Configure Presets.
In the Configure Presets dialog, click the pop-up menu to the right of the Scanner field and choose the scanner connected to your computer.

# key not working in linux

Hi
I have been using jbuilder5 in windows and have created an application. It works fine in windows but when i move to linux(SuSe v7.3) the # key does not work. Even in jbuilder the # key does not work.
It is not the keyboard settings as in other non java applications the # key works. I am using the jdk 1.3 and I am using swing to get the text.
Has anyone heard of this problem and do you know how to overcome this.
Thanks

there used to be a bug in JTable - some characters did not work, the most popular being the lower capital "q"; "#" is also part of the game.
check out the following bug in the bug parade which also contains a workaround. I am not sure if it applies to the java version you are using, but you can give it a try.

Setting Workflow status not working in imported workflow from SPD to Visual Studio

Hi all,
I have created SPD workflow and imported in visual studio. When I deploy imported Workflow using visual studio feature I found that Setting Workflow Status action is not working. Do I need to change Set Workflow status activity in Visual studio to make it
work.
Rohit Pasrija

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that Setting Workflow status did not work in imported workflow from SharePoint Designer to Visual Studio.
I try to reproduce the issue and the result is the same as yours.
After I import the workflow, choose the .xoml file, the view is as below:
To troubleshooting the issue, I add a new item to the project and select “Sequential Workflow” in the template.
After I click the Tool, I find that there don’t have the “SetCustomWorkflowStatus1” activity.
To set the status of the state, we need to use the “Set State” Activity in the “SharePoint Workflow” toolbar.
That is the reason why the “SetCustomWorkflowStatus1” activity does no work.

Some keybaord keys not working after suspect virus on Tecra A

Apostrophe, delete, semicolon and end keys not working after a suspected virus attack. I found record of the same problem on the net but apparently this guy fixed his problem after he found scroll lock or num lock on.
This is not the case here but there is something going on with numlock - register shows 2 and not 0. change to 0 but when reboot back to 2 again.
Suspect changed back by bios. I thought i couldnt get to bios because DEL key not working but found ESC works.
Tried to reset default values for bios but then cannot save and exit as this required the END key to work.
I was running XP at the time of the (suspected) attack and could not rectify the problem so put the computer back to the OEM status which i hoped would help - it did not, same problem so rather than install all the software on the computer again with XP i upgraded to Windows7 - fresh install.
Still keys do not work - it was a real pain to start with as my computer was set up to ctl+alt+del to log in and i had to do this with on screen keyboard - XP - this also showed that numlock was on before and after windows boot.
The reason i suspect a virus - my wife was watching one of her tv shows on line from home country (another toshiba laptop) and i needed to use that laptop for something else so i asked her to use mine - later on we turned the laptops off and in the morning turned tham back on again, the other laptop with AVG virus protection flagged several hits and this one with (FAMOUS and completely up to date) Norton flagged nothing - once i got into it using on screen keyboard.
Problems with this computer was found after scanning with a different antivirus.
Anyway - i am left with 4 keys that do not work on my keyboard (actually they did work after i logged into the computer for the first time but i had to hold them in for a long time - and then next time i rebooted, not work at all and havent ever since)
Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated, i have been working on this all weekend with no joy at all.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Xardas,
I have essentially done both - tried Toshiba OEM status found on a small partition of the toshi hard drive - no good - then did a fresh install of Windows 7 - still no good
You know - as cunning as it sounds - i cannot reload the default settings in BIOS as it requires the END key to work so i can Save & Exit - all i can do is Exit Without Save - i sort of feel snookered at the moment.
Toshiba got back to me today and said that i have tried everything they would have (yeah for sure) and to take my machine into a service centre for a hardware check - yeah right on boys!
Check out this guys post below found on Kioskea.net - getting close to a year ago...

Hi there, I was hoping that you might be able to help me with the problem that I seem to be having with my Toshiba Satellite Laptop Keyboard too. For a few days now I havent been able to use a few of the keys on my keyboard, including (1) delete (the backspace key is still working though), (2) colon/semicolon, (3) apostrophe/quotation marks and (4) end (the home and PgUp and PgDn keys are still working though). Any suggestions?
Identical to my problem....obviously this guy had the same problem as well...see below - same thread.
yab - Feb 9, 2010 4:47am GMT
hi did you ever figure this out? i have the same exact problem...
However, i was not able to solve my problem the way this guy did - my scroll lock is not activated - it seems to work ok (on and off) i tested it using Excel to move around the cells.
yab ms ml - Feb 9, 2010 7:57am GMT
Nevermind. For me it was scroll lock. My apostrophe, semicolon, and delete keys are alive and working again. I hope you have the same easy fix.
Incidently - never hear from the first guy again - probably ended up being his scroll lock.
all sugestions welcome - sorry my smily face has no eyes -) guess why!

Esc key not working in windows 7

Hi,
I have a HP Pavilion dv6-4XXX series. It's almost been 2 years I bought this notebook.
Recently I faced an issue. The "ESC KEY" has stopped working. However I could find that it's working fine in BIOS but not when I am logged in to windows. I have windows-7 installed.
Please let me know what could be the issue and the solution for the same.

Hello siddharthmishra,
You’re having a problem with the ESC key not working.
Go to device manager and uninstall the keyboard and restart the computer. This should uninstall and reinstall the driver for the keyboard.
Here is a link to device manager.
If the problem has not been happening for very long, you might try a System Restore. This will take the system back to before the problem started happening without affecting any of your files.
Here is a link to a System Restore.
Let me know how everything goes.
