MacBook Keyboard Works Intermittently After Upgrade?

Suddenly experiencing occasional keyboard 'outages' on my MacBook. Seems to occur after waking from sleep. The keyboard will work then stop for a minute then work again. Trackpad continues to work.
Anyone else seen this? No 3rd party keyboard or mouse software installed.

Had the same problem. Fixed! Here are the steps:
1) shutdown system
2) boot with while holding down shift key (safe mode)
3) launch Finder | Utilities | Disk Utility
4) select Macintosh HD (your system hardrive)
5) click on "Repair Disk Permissions" (this will take a while)
6) restart system
While waiting upon 5, I notice that my keyboard was working fine in safe mode. Not sure is steps 1,2,6 are needed; it could be that steps 3,4,5 are all that you need.
Mileage may vary. Please post your results. Many thanks to the Apple technician (for case# 86941514) who solved my problem. I was so not looking forward to sending in my macbook, like someone else with this problem has done.

Keyboard works intermittently after deep sleep

Hi,
when my Macbook Pro comes back from deep sleep (i.e. if battery went out during the night, with the mac in sleep), the keyboard first works just long enough for me to log in, then starts working intermittently, like for 15seconds periods every 5 minutes or so.
The only solution is to reboot my computer.
10.5.1 didn't solve the problem.
That problem is a definite showstopper. It renders my computer unusable.

I turned off deep sleep 2 months ago and still had the missing first key stroke problem.
then upgraded to 10.5 then had the total keyboard freeze. seemed to happen more on battery power. repaired disk permission and the freeze has stopped but still random missing keystrokes it seems to happen most in highlighted dialog boxes. turning off bluetooth helped with erratic track pad when waking from sleep

Push email (MS exchange) works intermittently after upgrade to ios 5.1 and ios 5.1.1

I have an iphone 4 with my office email (MS exchange) account configured. Other accounts are Gmail & iCloud.
Office email is configured as Push, Gmail as Fetch and iCloud as Push.
Till ios 5.0.x everything was fine. Office emails were getting pushed and there were no issues.
However after upgrading/restore to ios 5.1 & then 5.1.1 push email mostly does not work.
Few observations :
1. Push email works fine when I am at home on wi-fi.
2. When I leave home for work (therefore on 3G), mails stop getting pushed. Sometimes they get pushed for a period of 1 to 2 hours. Then they stop
3. Manually fetching office mails also does not work
4. Strangle accessing the office webmail site in Safari https://mail.xxxxx.com does NOT work. While i can load other sites in safari, the mail site does not load.
5. In office sometimes in the lift phone switches from 3G to Edge or no signal and then when out of the lift, suddenly mails get pushed, but then stop after some time.
6. Moment I get onto wi-fi, push emails start working
7. There is no issue with accessing gmail.
8. Other push notifications work (gmail app, facebook notifications etc)
9. There have been no changes to our MS exchange server
10. I have tried the usual stuff of resetting network settings, rebooting the phone, killing the mail app, going to airplane mode, deleting the mail a/c and recreating etc etc. But no luck.
Apart from upgrading/restoring to 5.1 and then 5.1.1, there have been no changes. The upgrades were done OTA, restore from 5.1.1.
However both times I have not set the phone as new and have restored backups.
Is anybody facing a similar issue ?
Any suggestions ?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

TS3367 facetime doesn't work well after upgrading to ios8. I need to make a call several times to connect.

Facetime doesn't work well after upgrading to ios8.
When I make a facetime call, it doesn't sound some times on the other side.
When it rings on the other side and is answered, it says (connecting), but it is still ringing on my side and never connected.
After that, I disconnect and make a second call, it sometimes connects, but not everytime.
I need to call several times to connect. It is really hard to connect through facetime after upgrading to ios8.
I purchased three iPad so far because of this good feature (facetime).
Please fix this issue as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Hi,
There are two easy fixes to this.
One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
Hope this helps!

2008 Macbook pro left click not working properly after upgrading to 10.6.8

I have a 2008 Macbook pro and a few months ago after upgrading to 10.6.8 my left click has been wonky.
Using the trackpad the left click eventually gets "stuck" or stops responding and I have to push it multiple times before it does anything. I have tried plugging in a mouse, but when I do so the mouse also behaves the same way. The only way I seem to be able to get the clicking to work properly is to restart the computer with the mouse attached.
I have seen threads about trackpads being messed up by swollen batteries, but my battery is brand new and looks fine, and the clicking problem extends to an external mouse, so I believe it is something with the preferences.
I tried deleting com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouchTrackpad.plist and restarting and the problem seemed to be fixed, but then after about a half hour it returned.
Having to keep a mouse plugged into my macbook is driving me crazy, anyone know a solution?

I started having the same issue after update. I'm on a MacBookpro running 10.7.2
ICalled apple and they did a remove battery reboot, a reload lion and a option/command/R/P reboot on startup and then the computer started working. Two days later problem was back. I then did a reboot and the computer was back to working. Today the computer worked fine tell it went to sleep. I had to do a hard reboot to get the Mac up and running and now no left click. Please help. I can not use the Mac with the trackpad, a mouse, a Bluetooth mouse, or a digital pad. All so signs of left mouse click not working. One other item when you go to pick your user at startup the left mouse click works. Help!

My macbook is running slow after upgrading to yosemite

Other's have posted similar experiences by when I ran etrecheck I didn't get a bunch of fails and yet my computer is extremely sluggish since moving from snow leopard to Yosemite. So much so, that I'm considering going back. Programs load slowly and switching between programs has a delayed response. Reminds me of the PC I had before I bought my macbook in 2008.
Any ideas on what might be causing the slow down?

Plug and play speakers not working properly after upgrading to Windows 8.1

After upgrading to Windows 8.1, my plug and play speakers do not work properly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled them, and restarted. When I try to play music, nothing comes out. If I turn them off and back on, music will play for approximately 30 seconds, only from one speaker, then it turns off and fades to no sound. They worked fine until I upgraded to Windows 8.1. The manufacturer has not been able to successfully assist me. Has anyone else reported a similar issue after upgrading OS software? Any suggestions? These are fairly new speakers, less than 2 years old, and not used very much. I do have them installed via a K-V switch, and all other devices linked to the K-V switch are functioning properly (monitor and wireless keyboard). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Bonjour Stops Working Intermittently After 7.3.1 Firmware Update

After updating the firmware on my Airport Extreme to 7.3.1, Bonjour seems to stop working intermittently. This affects both the 802.11N (MacBook, white Intel iMac, and aluminum Intel iMac) and 802.11G (MacBook) clients on my WLAN. I also connect to the AP with an iPod touch and a Wii. All the Macs are running 10.5.2.
Cycling the power on the router seems to fix the problem for a while.
Here's a snippet that might be related from my system log:
Apr 15 18:56:25 Jiminy mDNSResponder[16]: SetupAddr invalid sa_family 0
Apr 15 18:56:26: --- last message repeated 1 time ---
The only other network-related change that I have made recently is playing WoW.
Anyone have any ideas?

I have the same problem, btw. My AEBS 7.3.1 routinely loses all Bonjour support. Restarting the base station or power-cycling are the only fixes. I don't think the issue is on the Leopard side, but I'll reboot my laptop the next time it happens just to be sure.
Bonjour for Windows creates a JetDirect-style printer connection if I recall correctly. So after using it to discover and setup a new printer, it wouldn't really matter anymore if it suddenly disappeared. I'd have to double-check this to be sure, though.
On that note, I would recommend using JetDirect-style connections on your Mac, too, since bonjour connections are notoriously flaky for large print jobs like printing 8x10 photos.

Display as Key and Name Not working properly after upgrade to Bi7.0

Hi Bw Guru's
Recently we have upgrade our BW 3.5 system to BI 7.0 (Only system upgrade not applications ).
after the upgrade we are facing lot of issues with Bex Analyzer. The following are some of the issues
1) In BW3.5 after the execution of Workbook or query ,we can convert to local currency .
Right click on workbook -> Currency translation-> Database currency .
but after upgrade to BI7.0 this is not working ..
2) Characterstic Right click on workbook Dispaly as Key and Name is also not working ..
I know that Currency translation in BI7.0 works in different way compare to BW3.5 .we can use alternate option like By Target Currency from Database currency to convert to local currency and it is working fine in Bex,but businesss users want more friendly way ...because to select the above option they have to enter local currency and rate type ...
Do you we have any notes available for the above solutions ..?Do we need to upgrade Bex version also..?Is there any document which describe how the above things works after system upgraded to BI7.0?
Please suggest me..
Thanks in advance
Shu Moh.

Dear Harita
The first issue Currency translation in query or workbook is solved with SAP note 1119549.For second issue we have not found solution until now ,Once we find the solution we will update you..

Organize by conversation is not working properly after upgrade to Lion

After upgrading from 10.6 to 10.7 I've figured out that Mail Application is not very accurate with organizing by conversation. Mail from Snow Leopard was pretty nice. But after upgrade it started to make several conversation. This is very annoying especially when I'm working with support tickets.
Here is one of the example:
Mail 10.7 ( Lion )
[xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
[xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
RE: [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
RE: [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
[xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
[xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
Mail 10.6 ( Snow Leopard )
[xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
[xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
RE: [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
RE: [xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
[xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
[xxx.com #14531] Company Ecuador: training/refresh
I also tried Mozilla Thunderbird. It is organizing by thread very accurate.
Is there any way how to configure this in Mail? May be I'm doing something wrong?
I like all new features of new Mail programm, but it wi very annoying.
Thanks,
Shony.

Hi Sundar & Rakesh
I've followed Sundar's request in the previous thread we worked on together to provide further assistance here:
** Scenario Summary **
The portal Work protect mode value is set to '3' ("Choose action in popup on unsaved data") When we edit a standard ESS java Web Dynpro application and click exit, the portal should show us the Work protect mode popup. Instead, the portal exits to the overview page and when we try to navigate away from the overview page, it shows the work protect mode window. This was working fine before upgrade to SAP NW 7.4 SP 5.
Ok the first point of reference and analysis here is to check and review: Workprotect mode via the following navigation path:
System Admin-> System Configuration -> Service Configuration -> Under one of the services: Work protect mode property.
Now in terms of this popup kindly ensure the configurations are setup accordingly as per the following document:
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-2513
What is the setting of WDPortalWorkProtectMode.setApplicationDirty ?
Work Protect Mode
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/45/b76f4169e25858e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
Lastly have you attempted to change the property value and restarting the service ?
Restart the config by right clicking on com.sap.portal.epcf.loader. Click Administrate ->restart
Kindly update me as per your findings.
Kind Regards

TS1248 Track Pad not working correctly after upgrading to OSX10.8

I've the same issue since yeterday night after upgrading to OSX10.8 from OSX10.6. The problem I am having is only right side of the track pad is not working.. Did some one already experience this issue ?
See screen shot
Cheers,
Vivek

In addtion to Altenbach's comments -
I'd recommend trying another VI function to get the power spectrum for
your signal to see if the behavior is the same. You can find some
examples of VIs using the power spectrum functions using the NI Example
Finder.
You can go to LabVIEW's Example Finder by going to Help >> Find Examples.
Then search for FFT. There should be some results that include FFT and
Power Spectrum Units.vi, Power Spectrum Measurement.vi, Basic Spectral Measurements.vi, and Spectrum Measurements.vi. Try opening and
running these examples to see if the VIs are returning the proper
results.
