My keyboard doesn't work right. Help! please

My computer is used and I just bought it recently. The guy I bought it from did something to the keyboard and i dont know how to fix it. The backspace key doesn't backwards delete. it only foward deletes, even when I press fn+delete. And also in imovie the keys start to work as if im pressing command+A, for example, when all I'm doing is typing in a title. Also, the arrow keys don't work properly either. They move as if I'm pressing command+^, command+>, etc. but they dont move down or up or side between letter, words, lines, or paragraphs. Please help me fix it.

Unfortunately you are going to need to do an Archive and Install of your OS. Insert the OS disk that came with your unit, or your Leopard install disk and RESTART then hold down the [Option] key. Select the install disk and perform and Archive install (in the options you can deselect languages and printer drivers). After the install is complete you should be able to use your keyboard. Be sure to run all your updates.
In an Archive install you will not lose any data, however you will need at least 6-8 GB available on your internal drive. If you don't have that space available, make an Apple Genius Bar appointment and bring along an external drive for them to remove some of your data to free up some space.

Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.
Note: Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID other than the one they were originally obtained with.

It's the Quick Selection Tool in Photoshop Elements 9 and I'm trying to get the background and make it another layer so I can even out the color of the background then bring down the transparency. Not sure if that makes sense. I'm new to this.... Sometimes the area it will grab can go ...not fast.. but not slow. Sometimes it's like it's just messed up and literally takes 30 seconds to process each move. I rebooted my computer and re opened it and it helped a little. It's not clear what causes it when it messes up and when it doesn't. Just frustrating. It's probably user error because I'm so new at Photoshop. Thanks for your input. I really appreciate it.

Did you restore a backup after you restored to factory settings? If you restored a backup, you should try restoring as new, but if hope that support already told you this.
Have you tried using another WiFi networK? Do you have a computer running iTunes? If so, can you download apps or music on the computer?

JTextField - Setting the column size doesn't work. Help, please.

Hi,
I want to set the column size of a text field from another text field by the input from the user. However, it just doesn't work. The following is my code. Just check out the last anonymous inner class action listener. Somehow i can get the user text, but it just doesn't work.

don't forget to revalidate the JPanel after changing the components it holds:
    jtfColumnSize.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
      // Handle event
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
        System.out.println(Integer.parseInt(jtfColumnSize.getText()));
        jtfUserText.setColumns(Integer.parseInt(jtfColumnSize.getText()));
        jpText.revalidate();
    });This will tell the jpText JPanel's layout manager to relayout the components that this JPanel holds. It should resize your JTextField. Note that in order to call this from within the anonymous inner ActionListener jpText will need to be declared "final". Either that or declared as a class field.

Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
If still problems you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Outlook sort by name - quicktype / searching by name using keyboard doesn't work right

I'm not sure how to best explain this. In Outlook first you sort by name, and then you quickly type the first few letters of the person's name.
In Outlook 2010, this would cause it to go to the right person. For example if I type M-A-R it would go to Mark
However in Outlook 2013 when I type M-A-R rapidly, it goes to the R's in the alphabet.
Anyone else had this experience and have a suggestion on how to do anything about it?

Hi,
Could you give us more exact information? Did you refer to sort by "TO" or "From"?
In Outlook 2013, on “Mai” tab, under "search box" section, there is no "By Name" option in the sort options.
Please check and rebuild the index:
Click start and in the search box type "Index". Go into the Indexing Options applet and Click "Modify". When the Indexed Locations dialog comes up, make sure " Microsoft Outlook" is checked.
If the issue still persists, you can rebuild the index for test.
Best regards,
Karen Hu

SQL "LIKE" statement isn't working right -- help please!

Good day everyone,
I thought about putting this in the "SQL on Oracle" forum, but it looked like those messages were geared more toward the Oracle platform itself, so here I am. I apologize if this isn't the best forum.
I have the following SQL statement:
SELECT zzreporting_ut1
         zzreporting_ut2
         zzreporting_ut3
         zzreporting_ut4
         zzreporting_ut5
      UP TO 1000 ROWS
      INTO TABLE it_gmia_gmgrresp_data
        FROM gmspprogram
   WHERE ( ( zzreporting_ut1 LIKE '4011%'   OR
             zzreporting_ut1 LIKE '4012%'   OR
             zzreporting_ut1 LIKE '4013%' ) OR
           ( zzreporting_ut2 LIKE '4011%'   OR
             zzreporting_ut2 LIKE '4012%'   OR
             zzreporting_ut2 LIKE '4013%' ) OR
           ( zzreporting_ut3 LIKE '4011%'   OR
             zzreporting_ut3 LIKE '4012%'   OR
             zzreporting_ut3 LIKE '4013%' ) OR
           ( zzreporting_ut4 LIKE '4011%'   OR
             zzreporting_ut4 LIKE '4012%'   OR
             zzreporting_ut4 LIKE '4013%' ) OR
           ( zzreporting_ut5 LIKE '4011%'   OR
             zzreporting_ut5 LIKE '4012%'   OR
             zzreporting_ut5 LIKE '4013%' ) ).
All I want to do is bring back the rows where one of those 5 "ut" fields begins with 4011, 4012, or 4013. However, when I run it, it brings back anything: rows where all 5 "ut" fields are empty, where the ut1 field begins with 4014, etc.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong in my SQL statement?
Thank you! And as always, points awarded for ALL HELPFUL answers!
Dave

Hi Dave,
because I don't know such a table named gmspprogram I'm not sure what to say.
According to boolean expression syntax you do not need any of the brackets because the only operator used is OR.
I'd suggest.
data: lt_pattern_range type range of gmspprogram-zzreporting_ut2.
perform insert_range using 'ICP':
'4011*' '' changing lt_pattern_range,
'4012*' '' changing lt_pattern_range,
'4013*' '' changing lt_pattern_range.
SELECT
zzreporting_ut1
zzreporting_ut2
zzreporting_ut3
zzreporting_ut4
zzreporting_ut5
UP TO 1000 ROWS
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_gmia_gmgrresp_data
FROM gmspprogram
WHERE zzreporting_ut1 in lt_pattern_range
     OR zzreporting_ut2 in lt_pattern_range
     OR zzreporting_ut3 in lt_pattern_range
     OR zzreporting_ut4 in lt_pattern_range.

Whatsapp notifications doesn't work anymore, help please

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my Whatsapp application on my Iphone 4. Since 1 week now I do not receive any push notification for new messages and I have to open the app to receive them. Moreover, all my notifications settings are "on" to accept Whatsapp notifications (on whatsapp and on the phone settings).
I tried to reinstalled Whatsapp, delete everything from my iPhone and then restore my data with the backup on my computer but it did not change anything, I still can't receive any notification, unless I open the application. However, I noticed that I can receive notifications when I've just closed the app (within 2-3 minutes) but after that, nothing anymore... Very strange.
Does anyone have an idea why? And any suggestions to try fix this problem?
For info, I'm using an Iphone 4, iOS 7.1.2, Whatsapp 2.11.8
Thanks everyone,
Charlotte

HI,
FINALLY FOUND THE SOLUTION :
SAVE ALL YOUR PHOTOS ON YOUR PC WITH CAMERA SCANNER, SAVE ALL YOUR CONTACTS / NOTES / REMINDERS TO ICLOUD.
THEN DO "ERASE CONTENT FROM IPHONE" IN THE RESET OPTION.
WHEN THE IPHONE RESTARTS, SELECT "CONFIGURE AS NEW IPHONE", AND GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF STARTING UP.
ONCE ON HOME SCREEN, INSTALL WHATSAPP AGAIN FROM APP STORE AND VOILA, IT WORKS FINE. NOTIFICATIONS AND ALL.
GET YOUR CONTACTS BACK FROM ICLOUD, GET YOUR MUSIC BACK FROM ITUNES.
INSTALL ALL YOUR APPS AGAIN FROM SCRATCH. ;(
THATS THE ONLY SOLUTION TILL NOW.
REGARDS,
DANI.

my nano 4gen 8gb has a problem, it's keyboard doesn't work!! I have to shake it because of that and my hand is tired of that u.u does someone know how to fix it??

Did you do a restart or a reset?
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
If that didn't help, you have to write to/wait for the developer to update the software.

Hi, I am wondering why my iphone won't send pictures through messages, I have MMS on and I have tried sending it with 3G on aswell and still doesn't work. Someone please help me :)

Hey lozza567,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
Issues with sending and receiving MMS
You will need these to send and receive MMS:
- An iPhone 3G or later.
- iOS 3.1 or later.
- A cellular data connection. MMS isn't available if you are using only Wi-Fi.
- A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information.
- A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network different from your billing cellular provider's network. Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.
To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps first
1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
6. Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
9. Restart your iPhone.
10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
11. Reseat your SIM card.
If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
5. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
Thanks,
Matt M.
