My colon/semicolon and apostrophe only work when they want to =[ please help!

They only work when they want to. The keys starting doing it about a year after I got the Mac. Please let me know what can be done.

Hey there jeremy,
It sounds like your Volume buttons aren't working correctly and you are also not getting sound from your built in speaker. I would start by quitting all the running apps on your phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

  • My iPhone 4 is 3 years old, and recently the Flash will only work WHEN it wants to... Anyone got any ideas what I need to do?

    My iPhone 4 is 3 years old, and recently the Flash will only work WHEN it wants to... Anyone got any ideas what I need to do? Does it need to be repaird in an Apple store? if so does anyone know roughly how much it would be? Or would a simple Restore work?
    Thank you in advance for replies

    Take it to an Apple store. Most likely you will have to get a replacement for which you will be charged the replacement fee.
    Rice only absorbs water. But it cannot prevent damage to the device.

  • HT4623 my voice call services is not working with cellular network...only works fine with wifi..please help?

    my voice call services is not working with cellular network...only works fine with wifi..please help?

    Since you have already done some sort of reset on your Airport Express, you might as well make sure it was a "hard reset" - follow the instructions for a hard reset found at:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
    Since your Mac is running Leopard, you need to configure the Airport Express using the Airport Utility found in the Applictions->Utilities folder. You cannot install the old software that was supplied on the CD you got with the Airport Express.
    In future - if you do something bad with network settings on your Mac, do NOT try to fix it with the Airport Utility. The Airport Utility is only used to configure the Airport Express - and since the problem you have created is on the Mac and not the Airport Express, there is no need to be using the Airport Utility and especially there is no need to be resetting the Airport Express.

    If you want to get a little more "exotic" you can try remapping the function keys.  I did a little google searching and the hits that looked promising are,

    Sounds like your battery is not taking a charge, I know it shows full with you plug it in.  Try plugging it into a wall socket for a few hours and see if the iPod will work on battery power. 

  • Ipod only works in one ear. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

    My first generation ipod touch only works in one headphone. I've tried 10 different pairs of headphones but with all of them the sound only plays in the left ear. It works in both speakers when i plug it into the speaker that connects to its wider slot (the opening on the ipod next to where the headphones are plugged in) but when i use a cord that connects to the headphone slot that lets me play my ipod on my cars speakers it only works on the left side speaker.
    I don't know what's wrong with it and i really need your help, so PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!

    This exact thing happened to my first gen touch. Sadly, I don't have good news for you. First side of the earphone jack stopped working. A few weeks later the headphone jack wouldn't work at all. (Using the docking slot along the bottom still worked fine the whole time, just as you said.) Unfortunately it's not possible to replace the headphone jack without replacing other major components inside the touch so it's very expensive to repair. I could not fix the problem and had to buy a new touch.

  • ALARM DOESNT WORK WHEN EVENT POPS UP - Please Help!!!

    Ok.... Sometimes, I wake up in the morning and my alarm has not gone off. This only happens when there is an event showing from my calender, a missed call, or a text message that I received while I was sleeping. I then check/cancel the event and then my alarm shows up in snooze mode.
    I am not a heavy sleeper. I can wake up to the single 'bling' sound when I receive an email. So it not like I am sleeping through the alarm.
    The problem appears to be inconsistent. I have not identified what is exactly causing this to happen although I have read through a few threads with other people having similar issues, but there is no solution.
    I have set an event to go off with a 5 minute warning message and set my alarm to go off one minute after that and it worked fine... So I am stuck, why is my alarm not working sometimes?
    Please help.

    I kinda had something like this too, My alarm didnt go off once or twice, And a few times in a row my alarm would go off twice, Once @ 9:00 AM and once 9 minutes later @ 9:09 AM. Very strange, although I do not have any advice to help you since mine hasnt happened in a while. Sorry, Good luck.

  • FaceTime requests to my iPod AND iMac computer, which is not wanted.. please help! Need answers ASAP.

    I just bought a iMac Intel. I was playing around with the settings and I typed in my Apple ID into the computer and connected my FaceTime to it. I also have a iPod touch (fourth generation) in which case, I have all my contacts on and information on. At first, it wasn't exactly working.. I think. I imported my contacts but they weren't showing up onto my contacts list, nor my contacts list on the FaceTime app. So, I logged out of my Apple ID and yes, there was a pop up asking me to delete all the information imported and I did press delete. But now, my iMac is logged out of my Apple ID. On the contacts list, it says there are no contacts. And it's literally empty. BUT, I'm recieving FaceTimes on my iPod which are also popping up onto the iMac. I went into my Settings, and literally everything was disconnected. In the contacts, there were none, 0. No iMessages. Nothing. But I'm still recieving FaceTimes to both devices, which I don't want. I need help trying to disconnect everything from the iMac, I do not want my FaceTimes also being recieved on there. PLEASE HELP ME, I AM STRUGGLING.
    Also, how do you reset all the settings on there? Even if there is no solution to finding a way to stop FaceTimes to going to both devices, obviously, there is but, on my iPod there is a setting that says "Erase All Content and Settings", can you do that on a iMac? If yes, please tell me how. Somebody please help me, I'm actually very in the need of help.

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • My iPad says it's connected to my wifi but nothing works or loads. My xbox and cable box work on my wifi.  Please help?

    My iPad says it's connected to the wifi but nothing loads. My xbox and cable box connect and work just fine.

    Hey JnastyCL,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines the basic troubleshooting steps for Wi-Fi connectivity. I have also included the steps specific to the symptoms you are experiencing:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
    Tap  and Forget this Network.
    Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
    If you're using a public or commercial network, you may need to log in or subscribe.
    Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap ( i ) .
    If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
    If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
    If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
    If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Is there anyway to reset security questions. And with out knowing what they are. Please help.

    So I was going to buy an app right. Then it said answer your security questions.  It's been 3-4 years since I set up my account. I've had several different "favorite" teachers. Is there a way to reset them.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • Alarms app that work when they aren't open?

    I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but I am looking for an alarm app I can use (besides Apple's) that works even when it isn't open and I am doing something else on the phone. Most apps I've seen only work when they are open, but I am looking for one that can work when it's closed. Thanks!

    Try restoring your iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and it the problem persists restore to factory defaults.
    If still a problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it is likely that your have a hardware problem.

  • My Airport Time Capsule only works when I turn off and turn on, but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve?

    Time Capsule Airport
    Hello to all, good day, sorry my english google, but it is the tool I have at the moment. I'm having trouble with my Time Capsule Airport, I made all the settings according to the manual, but there has been a connection problem with my iMac. When I finish my work I turn off the imac and then again when they return to work and care, it can not connect to Time Capsule Airport, making it impossible to remove the files and make back up by Time Machine only works when I turn off and turn on the Airport Time Capsule , but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve? Thank you.
    Olá a todos, bom dia, desculpe meu inglês google, mas é a ferramenta que tenho no momento. Estou tendo dificuldades com a minha Airport Time Capsule, fiz todas as configurações de acordo com o manual, mas tem existido um problema de conexão com meu iMac. Quando termino meus trabalhos desligo o imac e depois quando retorno pra trabalhar novamente e ligo, ele não se conecta a Airport Time Capsule, impossibilitando retirar os arquivos e fazer o back-up pelo Time Machine, só funciona quando desligo e ligo a Airport Time Capsule, mas acho que isso pode acabar com o aparelho. O que pode esta acontecendo e como resolver? Obrigado.

    This is easier to do with pictures perhaps.. since we do not share a common language and machine translation leaves a lot to be desired.
    In the airport utility bring up your Time Capsule.
    Simply post the screenshots here.
    So here is mine.
    Click on the Edit button and give us the Internet and Wireless and Network tab..
    eg.
    Please also make sure you are set to ipv6 in your wireless or ethernet .. whichever is used.. and do tell which.
    This is wifi in your computer.
    The following are important..
    DO not use long names with spaces and non-alphanumeric names.
    Use short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    eg TC name. TCgen5
    Wireless name TCwifi
    Use WPA2 Personal security with 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.
    read apple instructions to help with TM and TC.. they did finally admit it has issues in Mavericks.
    OS X Mavericks: Time Machine problems
    Mount the TC manually in finder.
    AFP://TCgen5.local
    When asked for the password .. that is the disk access password and save it in the keychain.
