Microsoft Excel keeps freezing on back after using backspace key

Don't know if this can be answered here, but I keep trying to use the backspace key in Excel and I keep getting a beachball, where only Excel freezes but I can use the rest of my computer. Any help?
I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, no office updates needed. Office 2004. Never had issues with this until recently.
Thanks in advance.

I suggest you try MS's own forums for their Mac products, as it's their software you're having issues with

I have a MacBook Air mid 2012 11" that keeps freezing every time I use it

Hi Everyone
I have a MacBook Air mid 2012 11" that keeps freezing every time I use it
It's running a i7 2ghz with 8gb ram And OS X 10.8.4
I have had the Air around 11 months and the last week is the first time it has ever frozen , now it will do it after about 15 min use
It seems a little warmer than usual and it will freeze no matter what is running , or just idle .
And just to add , no google chrome installed

Mail App keeps freezing and crashing after yosemite upgrade. Cant create new emails.

Mail App keeps freezing and crashing after yosemite upgrade. Cant create new emails. Is there a fix to these issues?

Hi,
When I read these Threads in Yosemite I am filtered to show only the one listing Messages (the App) as the App involved.
This form of tagging a Thread no longer shows up in the current software used to run the Discussions.
Did you use the Mail and the Messages tags ?
It is difficult as many Mail help items refer to emails and "messages".
With me posting to the thread it should raise it to near the top again and maybe someone who knows about Mail will post.

Oh OisinC7,
I'm aslo experiencing similar problem. Tell me your country and what apps make your phone freeze?

My iPhone 4S is becoming too hot on the back after using apps

My phone 4s is becoming too hot on the back after using apps and browsing over the net

Apple actually recommended that at least once a month What I've noticed in the iPhones and iPods that when you drain it to 0%, it saves some energy to display that connect to AC source. That's what you get when you turn on your phone or ipod even if it's 0%. That WILL destroy the battery but full cycling wouldn't.
I tried it and it worked thanks but after a day it will be glitchy again :l

Overhead calculation not happening after using Overhead key and orgin group

overhead calculation not happening after using Overhead key and orgin group.
There was a runtime error earlier related to u201Cdefine credit u201C IMG node under costing sheet component and we have applied SAP note 769946 and that error was gone out of the way
We want to apply/add Overhead to SFG/FG materials.
We are using PP order with PCC(product cost collector) as the cost object , i.e costing by period.(system ECC 6)
But our problem is with material standard cost estimate process.
We have assigned overhead keys to the percentage rates in costing sheet for material standard costing and assigned the origin groups to the credits of costing sheet. But after running the cost estimate overhead is not taking into account for standard cost calculation.
In the define credit entry table key field is valid to date strangly and actually system should allow one than one entry with same valid to date and same sec.Cost element(type-41) for different cost centers.
But if we without using overhead key and origin group, the entire cost in that supporting cost center will come to all materials (SFG/FG) and we can not distinguish between different product materials(SFG /FG).
We have checked all things as mentined below.
Firstly that the correct costing sheet is assigned to the valuation
variant.
That the costing sheet is entered for the appropriate material type:
Finished and semi finished or material components.
All of the above can be checked and verified via transaction OKKN.
In addition make sure that the base value maintained is present in the
costing, for example the base may include an Origin group, is that
origin group part of the materials being costed?
Similarly if the base is found and values exist how is the overhead
rate of the costing sheet set up, is it valid etc.
And finally do a similar check for the credit.
we doubt this as a programm error...
So, request all experts to have ur feedback..

Dear,
Check your origin group & material unit of mesaurement is same.
some time in costing sheet origin group is maintain in different unit & for materail it's maitain in other unit of mesaurement.
You can see unit of measure for material in Additional data - unit of measure.
Check BOM component material unit also.
Check same unit of measure is maintain in KZS2
I hope above will useful.

Macbook pro keeps logging me out after using migration assistant

I have a Macbook pro (bought it two years ago). It used to shut down automatically. Took it to Apple after backing up using time machine. They installed a fresh OS on it and took everything else out. I made a dummy account and no more shut downs happend so I migrated my old account over using MA. Now all my accounts are there but as soon as I log in, it logs me out !!! no error message.
Help would be appreciated.

How were you able to run a disk repair? Did you do that from an install disc?
Can you boot into "single-user" mode? If so there are some commands you can run that will allow you to look into logs files, where you might find the reason for your problem.

Creating a back up using One Key on a new laptop

Hi there, I am trying to set up a new Lenovo laptop. I am being prompted to make a back up by the Lenovo Solution Center. However, when I try to do that using One Key the option comes up to use the default drive which is the D drive. But then it says there is only 22.4 GB of space on the D drive and the estimated image size is 29.0. So it won't let me back up there.
I don't know what to do. Do I need to back this up to an external hard drive? Can the D drive be made bigger? What happens if I don't back up at all? I don't understand why the d drive wouldn't have capacity for the back up. Confused and would be grateful for any advice, thanks

There used to be the Create Recover Disks (DVD's) in Thinkvantage tools. Now whether you have that in on yours remains the question. If its Win8 then it may be different.
I would call the USA support which is posted on this website for country support. You'll get someone else. If your drive image is corrupted the info on there is not much use other than your data. There isn't a one touch that I am aware of. Trueimage is an excellent backup tool worth every penny.

How to set current row in table after use tab key on inputText

Hello all,
My first post .., I'm newbie in ADF and I will try to explain my problem.
For the moment we use ADF 11g (11.1.1.4), in a jsff page I have a table with an inputText column.
On the valueChangeListener of the inputText, I invoke a method in a viewScope bean which call an EJB method, make some services in the EJB on the line modified. After that I refresh the VO and the table (because others values on the line have been modified) and reset the focus on the same inputText modified by the user with javaScript because focus was lost after refresh.
So far, everything works fine.
When I use the arrow keys to change the selected row in the table, it's work fine (focus is still in the next or previous inputText), but if user try to use tab key to change the current line, the inputText on the next line have the focus but the current row of the table is not changed (I think it's normal).
My question : how can I change the current row after tab key pressed in this case ?
I don't know if it's really clear, not easy to explain, don't hesitate to ask more details.
Thanks in advance.

Use a client event to listen for the keyboard entry and intercept the tab. The use af:serverListener to call the server to set the rowKey on the table and issue a PPR for the table to re-paint
See sample 11 on http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/index-101235.html#CodeCornerSamples
to learn about how to use the client listener and server listener
FrankHi,
Thanks a lot for your advices, I used the client and server listener
I used this code on the method call in order to change the selection after key tab pressed, I don't know if it can be easier, but it works.
          if (LOGGER.isDebugEnabled()) {
          LOGGER.debug("START changeSelectedRow");
          RowKeySet oldRowKeySet = myTable.getSelectedRowKeys(); // get oldRowKeySet
          if (oldRowKeySet == null) {
               if (LOGGER.isDebugEnabled()) {
                    LOGGER.debug("oldRowKeySet is null");
               return;
          RowKeySetImpl newRowKeySet = new RowKeySetImpl(); // The new RowKeySet use to change the selectedRow
          DCIteratorBinding bindingIterator = ADFUtils.findIterator(MY_ITERATOR);
          bindingIterator.setRangeSize(-1);
          // set the new index of the current row.
          int index = bindingIterator.getCurrentRowIndexInRange();
          if (index < bindingIterator.getAllRowsInRange().length - 1) {
               index++;
          bindingIterator.setCurrentRowIndexInRange(index);
          // get the current row after changed the index
          Row currentRow = bindingIterator.getCurrentRow();
          if (currentRow != null) {
               ArrayList nextLst = new ArrayList(1);
               nextLst.add(currentRow.getKey());
               newRowKeySet.add(nextLst);
               // set the new selectedRow
               myTable.setSelectedRowKeys(newRowKeySet);
               SelectionEvent selectionEvent = new SelectionEvent(oldRowKeySet, newRowKeySet, myTable);
               selectionEvent.queue();
               AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(myTable);
          if (LOGGER.isDebugEnabled()) {

Unable to use backspace key in SQL Developer

hi
I am unable to use backspace or arrow keys in SQL worksheet using SQL developer.
Can any one help me out...?
You can also contact me on [email protected]
regards
Ahsan

Hi,
to give a worst case. I downloaded actual releases for JDeveloper and SQLDeveloper for MacOS and on my Mac this case is totally unsolved. I tried to check he settings within the preferences.xml but no "googled" solution works to get SPACE and BACKSPACE to work.
I will try the older versions.
I previously used my migrated versions from my older Linux system and everything worked fine. Installing the integrated MacOS versions is fine but using the linux way (using the shell command) seems to work. Hope this will help to find the bug within the packages.
Bye,
Holger

Tip for Data Backup:
Remove the HDD and install it in a USB HDD Enclosure. You can then plug it into a USB port of a working machine. If there is any life left in the drive you should be able to browse it and copy files off to HDD of host machine

G5 keeps freezing. Even after we had it "repaired" at the shop.

We have a Dual 2.5 G5. It started freezing and having problems so we took it to the local Apple Authorized Repair Center. They said it was either the logic board or the processor(s). Took them a couple weeks to find a new motherboard and they installed that and said it was fixed.
I get it and take it back to the shop and plug it in. Fans are all running WAY too high (and loud). I figure, oh well, at least it works. Well, then it freezes up the next day. I reboot and it works for a few ours and then freezes. I do the same and it freezes after a couple hours. I turn it off over night and the next day, I turn it on and it runs for a little while and then freezes. I take it back to the shop. The guy says he's run all the tests on it and the software keeps coming back saying everything is fine. He has it for about a month, fails to call and let me know he's "fixed" it so I call and they said its ready to pick up.
The tech sheet said that it runs fine but the fans are running a bit loud.
I get it back and yea, the fans are still running loud but at least it works. WRONG. Couple hours go by and it freezes.
BTW. When it does freeze, then all the fans kick go up slowly to like 100%. Sounds like a jet engine in here when it does that.
So, any ideas? We paid about $500 for the new logic board and installation.

If the shop is in any way reliable, they should take it back and work on it again. They have to stand behind there work.
As far as power goes, I doubt it seriously.
