Keys typing wrong letters and numbers?

I am using a usb wireless keyboard and i spilt a drink on it and then quickly tried to dry it off and pressed a few keys whilst wiping it, then i unplugged it, dried it some more then plugged it back in, although whenever i press the 'backspace' key, it replaces the character with a - and when typing keys like 'o' it types 'jo' and so on, and i cannot now log back in as i cannot see what is being typed by my keyboard, is it a hardware issue of did i change my keyboard settings or what? Please help!

Keyboard intermittently typing double letters and numbers

My Pavilion laptop intermittently types double letters. I'm running windows 8.1 and the unit is about 6 weeks old. It has done this eever since I got it. I've look at other links to problems similar and checked the double key rate. Also I've pluged in a generic keyboard and it appears not to do it.
Any specific suggestions?
Thanks

This is usually an easy problem to fix with HP laptops
HP keyboards are bit different that what MS default settings expect. Usually this can be fixed in keyboard settings. In Windows 7 click the orb, in windows 8 bring up the menu OR just tap the Windows key if its on a keyboard
type in "keyboard" and click to keyboard [settings]
You may find the default Repeat dalay is the lowest possible setting. This rate is too short for the sensitivity of HP keyboards as the key signals down before its fully pressed, and doesn't stop until its halfway up. Very clean, accurate keypress, mistaken for a hold.
Turn the delay up (Long) and this should stop it.
(I tried for weeks to find this in BIOS, but as of Windows 7 its now controlled by the OS)

Try this. Open one of your files. The window that contains your picture is named at the top. Command click on the name and you'll see the entire path starting with its name and then moving to the folder, the folder it is contained in, etc all the way to down to the hard drive volume name. This should tell you where to find the folder.

HT4623 I down loaded ios 7 to my wifes ipad 2 but because of the streamlined look my wife can bearly see the letters and numbers on the key board because of an eyesight problem She had no problem with the old keyboard. Is there a way to make the letter

I downloaded ios 7 to my wifes ipad 2. The only problem was, with the new system the letters and numbers on the keyboard became so streamlined that my wife had trouble seeing them because of a eye problem. Is there a way to get the old keyboard back and if not how do you uninstall ios 7?

I had thought this situation was solved but it just got worse. In addition to being without service for several days I am now being charged a cancellation fee for a broadband service that BT disconnected in error. BT Vision was also terminated by BT but the set up charges are still in place. Does anyone know who the relevant Ombudsman is? I called BT from America on Friday - for an hour - while someone called Aruj sorted out why there is an order 'in progress' that I didn't initiate; why I have fees relating to a problem created by BT and why there are references to a house move that didn't take place and a BT Vision service I no longer have but didn't cancel myself. He assured me it would be rectified and my bill would be reduced by 139 pounds and we would get confirmation of this later that day. I asked him what chance there was that this would not actually happen - he said no chance at all; my new bill would be 23.50.
There was no text message. An online chat person today told me there had been a fee reduction request which had been declined and there was nothing else he could help me with as he dealt only with broadband. But he would get BT Vision to email me. They always seem so helpful.............
I'm sure I'm listed somewhere as 'a problem', there's no other explanation for why I get the runaround

While typing keyboard starts typing wrong letters

I have checked my settings for my keyboard and have changed keyboards. I can open Pagemaker 7 & start typing, all's well. Then after a while it starts typing wrong letters & I can't use my short cuts. I also tryed reloading Pagemaker 7. I have run Malwarebytes, AVG, & Spybot. I can't find anything. It is also doing the same thing In Photoshop. It doesn't do it in any other programs besides Adobe.

I thought it was setup Default input language as English (United States).I checked and there was 2 other settings under keyboard besides US. United states-Dvorak and United States international. So I removed them. Also under Advanced Key Settings and Hot keys for imput languages - Switch between input languages was set up to work. I changed this to none. So far it has worked fine. Today is my long day at work so we'll see. Do you think that was it? How would that have gotten changed? I have done some windows updates recently that caused me problems with my display.

Keyboard typing weird letters and symbols

Hi all
I have tried to use my Macbook Pro this morning and when I type its typing the wrong letters
and symbols...................can anyone help?
Thanks
Jo

I just spent hour trying to fix tihs on my iMac and could find the answer so I wanted to post it for someone else. Mine was typing in crazy symbols (åß∂ƒ©).
Also I could not Command + Tab (shoot me), and when I clicked on a window in another app it hid the windows I was working in.
I tried new keyboards. And the system preferences stuff - system preferences - language & text - input sources. then select US. This didn't fix it.
Then I tried to change the keyboard shortcuts in the same window - spotlight (on left), unclick the show spotlight search field and the other one bellow. Then hit the com + Spacebar. This didn't fix it.
Then i did it and double check that i did it right and still didn't fix it.
So I called apple support and they gave me the magical key to fix this.
Turn off your computer. Unplug for 30 sec, and everything attached. Then power it back on and hurry and hold Command + Option + P + R. I held Command + Option + P with one hand and then after I hit power I added the R.
The computer will make one chime. Keep holding it. I will then shut down and make one more chime and you can let go.
Taa daa!!
I have a 27" iMac 2.93Ghz i7 with 10.8.2 (FYI).

Hi Rob,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your running into an issue with the keyboard on your MacBook Pro. The article linked below provides suggestions that will resolve most keyboard issues like the one you described.
OS X Mavericks: If keys on your keyboard don’t work
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13809
If other keys don’t work
You may have accidentally set an option that changes how your keyboard operates.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Dictation & Speech, then click “Text to Speech.” If “Speak selected text when the key is pressed” is selected, deselect it or click Change Key to select another key.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Keyboard. Make sure Slow Keys is turned off. If Slow Keys is on, you must hold down a key longer than usual before it’s recognized.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Mouse & Trackpad. Make sure Mouse Keys is off. If Mouse Keys is on, pressing keys in the numeric keypad moves the pointer instead of entering numbers.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard, then click Input Sources. Select “Show Input menu in menu bar.” Open the Input menu and make sure the correct keyboard layout is selected. To see the keyboard layout, click Keyboard, then choose “Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar.”
I hope this helps.

PIXMA MX522 using the keypad for letters and numbers

I need to use a password to log onto a wireless network which has letters and numbers. The letters are the easy part but how do you get the keypad on the printer to give numbers. The password is: abc261 (example only) they key pad does the "abc" part but how do I get it to add the number "261"? Your help would be appreciated. Thank you.

This might help
Press the SETUP button on your printer's control panel.
Using the arrows, select DEVICE SETTINGS, press OK.
Select LAN SETTINGS and press OK.
Select Wireless LAN Setup and press OK.
If a message appears to press the WPS button, press STOP to cancel.
Select STANDARD SETUP from the next screen that appears and press OK.
Highlight your access point or router and press OK.
Press OK again to confirm the access point name.
Enter your passphrase using the keypad to the right.
At the screen where you enter your passphrase, in the top right corner of the LCD screen you should see a :1 . This indicates that you are in numeric entry mode. If you press the asterisk key (*) it will switch to :A or uppercase letter mode, pressing asterisk again with switch to lowercase letter mode. To enter a letter in either letter mode, you will press the associated number key to cycle through the available letters. For example: To enter a letter "c", you will press the "2" key three times.
Press OK when done.
The LCD screen will say "Connected" if the password is correct.

Keyboard letters and numbers not working after (?) serious memory use (?)

So I've been having problems with my keyboard on my MBP 15-inch, Early 2011 (OS version 10.7.5, fully updated). It stops working after I use Photoshop or InDesign (cs6) for a long period of time or when I'm surfing the web a lot. The best example where it for sure stops working when surfing the web is when I'm on tumblr and I scroll through dozen of pages on my feed. When it stops working, the only keys that continue to work is everything but the numerals and letters.
I've taken it in, replaced the keyboard and talked to apple support and they can't figure it out. I assumed that it stops working because of all the loading images, info and memory that is in use when applcations are open but I don't know if it's because of memory.
One thing that always occurs right before the keyboard stops working is this sound from the speakers that sounds like gears turning three times or three fast ticks. Only once has the letters and numbers start working and I don't now what I did to make it come back but I heard the three ticks play again.
But my only solution to make it start again is restarting the computer.
Does anybody have this problem/know the solution to make this stop?

The only Upperfilters and Lowerfilters you were supposed to remove were the ones in 4D36E965 which is for the Optical Drive.
The other keys, for example 4D36E966 and 4D36E967 etc.. are for other devices, such as the keyboard, mouse, and possibly other devices like sound and graphics. This is not good, because its hard to manually restore those filters without knowing what was in there before you deleted them.
Did you backup the registry before deleting the keys?
You could try a System Restore to restore the registry back to a previous state. If you boot into Safe Mode (press F8 or F5 before XP boots up), you can select a previous date to restore back to.
Then follow these instructions http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=314060

Oracle jdbc driver: sort order between letters and numbers

Hello,
I am facing a very strange problem with sortering of data between letters and numbers.
I'am executing the following SQL request:
SELECT nummsg FROM CWD01 where nummsg = '00000001' or nummsg = 'AAAA0001' order by nummsg
When this request is executed with sqlplus or SQuirreL, I receive the expected result:
NUMMSG
00000001
AAAA0001
When I execute the following java code:
try {     String className = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";     Class driverObject = Class.forName(className);     Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("myurl", "user", "pass");     Statement stmt = con.createStatement();     ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(           "SELECT nummsg FROM CWD01 where nummsg = '00000001' or nummsg = 'AAAA0001' order by nummsg");     while (rs.next()) {           String x = rs.getString("nummsg");           System.out.println("nummsg " +x);     } } catch (Exception e) {     System.out.println("Failed: Driver Error: "+ e.getMessage()); }
I receive the unexpected result:
nummsg AAAA0001
nummsg 00000001
We are using the following version of Oracle:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bi
and the following jdbc driver:
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) JDBC Drivers (ojdbc14.jar (1,536,979 bytes) - classes for use with JDK 1.4 and 1.5)
Any suggestion?

I checked, I'am sure of the problem:
package test;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class Test {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
               String className = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
               Class driverObject = Class.forName(className);
               Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@<server>[:<1521>]:<database_name>", "user", "password");
               Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
               ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(
                  "SELECT nummsg FROM CWD01 where nummsg = '00000001' or nummsg = 'AAAA0001' order by nummsg");
               while (rs.next()) {
                    String x = rs.getString("nummsg");
                    System.out.println("nummsg " + x);
          } catch (Exception e) {
               System.out.println("Failed: Driver Error: " + e.getMessage());
}The table CWD01 defines the column NUMMSG as VARCHAR2(8).
The output gives:
nummsg AAAA0001
nummsg 00000001

I-phone unlock screen has very large letters and numbers.

I-phone has large letters and numbers on the unlock screen. can see only about 1/4 of the screen it's so large. can't see the slide to unlock bar, only part of the actual time. will not compress with fingers. phone recieves e-mail/phone calls but can't unlock it. tried restore twice and shutting phone off. pulled SIM card too. when it's restoring the screen is normal size as soon as it's finished it goes back to super -size.

I'm having exactly the same problem, but It doesn't do a thing when I tap it twice or even three times. It's just locked on my screen saver. I can unlock it with some difficulty, because the screen is so enlarged. But, then I just get a big screen with numbers. I've reset it multiple ways, but with no luck.

When I tried to print my boarding pass from Continental, all I received was a page of small letters and numbers.

I see where you say a newer version fixed the printing bug, but when I try to check for updates, it tells me I have the newest version. Your posts concerning the small print questions are a month old. What do I do?

Each time I type an apostrophe on pages it comes out as a divide sign and alters any preceding italicised text into meaningless letters and numbers. How do I change this?

Does this still happen if you set your font to Lucida Grande?
Could you use the camera icon here to post a screen shot of how this looks with the meaningless letters and numbers?

Letters and numbers like on lcd-screen

hi there,
i want to do a frame, where you can see something like a lcd-display with such letters and numbers (like on many counters). how can i do this ? are there any (standard)fonts i can use, or do i have to use images therefore ?
thanks in advance,
tobias

You're probably gonna have to find a truetype font similar to what you want and then you can:
InputStream is = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().
getResourceAsStream( "com/youpackage/yourfont.TTF" );
Font f = Font.createFont( Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, is );
is.close();
Font lcdFont = f.deriveFont( 26f ); //sets the size you wantWhere com/youpackage/yourfont.TTF points to the font in your class path. Probably just stick the font in your jar file and it will find it there.
This will install the font on the users system to use in Java.
