MB Pro weird since keyboard update

Ever since I let the keyboard update run my Mac is strange. My windows seem to go inactive. For example, while I am typing this it will stop and I have to click on the window to type again. Make sense? It doesn't matter if I have another window open or not and happens around every 10-15 seconds!!!!

Through trial and error I discovered that an old version of Remote Desktop (admin) was causing this. Removed it from my laptop and all is well.

  • I have  mac book pro. Since i updated to OS 10.8, I have experienced the following: many of the programs don't respond. Not able to transfer file (eg pdf file og movie (VLC)). Many of the processes seem to be less effective or won't respond.

    I have a mac book pro. Since i updated to OS 10.8, I have experienced the following:
    many of the programs don't respond.
    Not able to transfer file (eg pdf file og movie (VLC).
    The tech tool diagnostic software (as part of apple care protection plan) stops in the middle of scanning.

    First, know that if you have any old PPC-only applications they will no longer work. You should uninstall them completely. Secondly, applications that don't work may require upgrades for compatibility with Mountain Lion. Thirdly, you may have a dysfunctional upgrade for which you should try this:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • My iPhone 4 has been acting weird since the update to iOS 5.1.1

    I charged it to 100% yesterday morning and by the time I went to bed it was at 13%.  I didn't do anything I don't normally do.  A few games, email, check weather, sports scores; a couple hours of use. 
    Then this morning I was texting a buddy that's in town and when I got a response my screen just flashed on then off really quick and it make a weird static noise instead of the bell when I went to unlock the phone to read the message.  Just before this I changed the volume of the ringer in settings because it sounded really high.
    Has anyone else experienced anything weird since updating?  I'm trying a reboot and will watch it for a while.  Might be time to take it in and have it checked out.

    hi Allan,
    Can't make or receive any calls. When making a call, you see the thing dialing but no tone, it rings at he other end however. When somebody trying to call me, it does not ring at my end. If you try to end the call, the phone page will just freeze, when you exit the phone page to go try the MP3 player for example, and come back, the phone is still trying to end the previous call. I tried resetting the network settings, turn the phone off and on , no difference at all. It's easter Sunday, everything is closed here in Montreal.

  • Macbook pro crashes since the update!!!!!

    Since I updated the OS, my macbook has been crashing consistently. its to the point that I can't even be on it a long time because it just crashes out. And the problems began with the update. In fact the first crash even on my macbook pro was during the install of the update. So if anyone figures out how to block or get rid of this stupid useless app store please help. And if you have not updated, DONT!!! save yourself!!!

    Hi,
    Just drag the Mac App Store icon off the Dock. It will go "poof" ...
    If you decide to reinstall the Mac App Store from the v10.6.6 combo update available here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349, it may be a good idea to check the startup disk first.
    Go to your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the FirstAid tab. Click: Verify Disk.
    If Disk Utility reports problems, you will need to boot from your install disc to make repairs, instructions
    here.

  • Flickr upload from iPhoto acting weird since last update

    Hi
    I am currently uploading photos to Flickr on a regular basis.
    however since iPhoto's latest update (the one that changed the look of icons in the sidebar...) I am seeing constant problems with uploads. They usually get stuck very shortly after they started. As I am writing this, an upload is stuck at "time remaining: 2 minutes" and has been for over 10 minutes for an upload of just 20 small-sized pics. When the upload is smaller, it gets stuck at the "Pending" state forever (I've left iPhoto running in the background for several hours and it was still stuck at that level after 4 hours).
    anyone else experiencing this?
    any idea or help appreciated
    Note: my iPhoto library is in my Dropbox and I am running iPhoto 9.1.5 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    I'm having the same problem. Whenever I try to use iPhoto to upload photos to Flickr, it takes a loooooong time, gets hung up a lot, is forever "pending" and is just a huge waste of time! Really frustrating.
    I'm running OSX, 10.6.8 and I'm using iPhoto '11 version 9.1.5. I'm uploading the photos at full resolution (3648x2746px), which obviously is going to take longer than uploading smaller versions, but it's not THAT big - shouldn't take all day. At first I thought this problem might be related to some kind of problems with internet connection, but I've tried in a lot of different places, including at home, where i have a great internet connection and normally no problems.
    I've been struggling with this for a few months and it's totally driving me nuts - if I can't figure this out soon, I am going to quit using iPhoto entirely.
    Does anybody use iPhoto with Flickr successfully?

  • I can't get my Fantom X6 to connect with Logic Pro X since I updated to Mavericks iOS 10.9.2. Any Suggestions please?

    Hello Guys, I hope someone has experienced this issue or just know a fix or work around for it. Roland will not be developing new patches or what have you for the fantom x series and I figured thats the reason my keyboard is not working with this new OS. If you guys know a work around I would greatly appreciate it or tell what kind of keyboard or midi controller you are using so I could purchase one. Thanks

    X6 (via midi cable) plus good quality Audio/Midi interface (such as a Motu)  = No issues with LPX or Mavericks....
    In other words.. stop using USB to connect to Mac.... and you should be fine.

  • Bluetooth Keyboard will not install since I updated to OS X 10.9.2

  • Ever since I updated my Macbook Pro, the shortcuts on the F1-F12 keys no longer work as they did before.

    Ever since I updated my Macbook Pro, the shortcuts on the F1-F12 keys no longer work. I used to press just the F12 key and I would be able to raise the volume, now it switches to the home page. I want the old shortcuts back and I don't know how to do that. Please help.

    Ever since I updated my Macbook Pro
    updated from what to what?
    Suggest you try a NVRAM / PRAM reset, as described by Apple:
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

    Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
    are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
    I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
    Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

    I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
    both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
    Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
    I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
    update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
    And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
    I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
    Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !

  • Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java

    Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java - what the heck is with that? When I try to do as suggested and go under Java preferences it wont allow me make any changes this is the error message I get "Cannot launch "java preference" no compatible version of Java 1.5 + is available."
    Then it gives the option to open java preferences or quit. It will only allow me to quit as it won't open java preferences. Stupid updates!

    about a month ago, Mavericks had an automatic update. I have a Windows 7 partition bootcamped on my macbook pro. Before the update, everything was fine. Now, when I attempt to start Windows partition, as soon as I touch the keyboard or mouse the screen goes black and I can't go any further. I have tried to re-load the bootcamp drivers and try again. It does the same thing. Any help would be great.

  • My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.

    My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.
    Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
    I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
    Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.
    I've looked at all the online solutions so far and have tried most of them without success. Please help!

    EDIT: RESOLVED
    For anyone else who finds their way here like I did, this link did it for me: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/527599/windows-8-issues-solved-please-r ead-if-you-39-re-having-black-screen-and-or-flickering-/
    Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick.  I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally.  I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
    Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again.  I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time.  Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black.  I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
    Hope this helps someone else!

  • No longer able to control iTunes with my razer tarantula keyboard since i updated to v10.4

    I have been using  Razer Tarantula keyboard for close to 3 years. It worked well with iTunes all the time, i am able to control stop, play, next on my keyboard's built-in keys without the need to Alt+Tab to iTunes. Since i update iTunes 10.4, these keys no longer work.
    Am i the only one with this problem? Are there any solutions to it?

    FYI - I just fixed the "problem"  and still havent quite figured it out other duplicating her settings then pwr off/on   bingo
    Interesting to say the least.  Had everything to do with the speaker setting within System Preferences.... you tell me?  lol   Later
