My keyboard makes noise when i type capital letters.

My keyboard makes a noise (like a typewriter noise) when I type capital letters or use control/command keys.
I want to cancel the noise but I don't know where I need to go to.
Can I have instructions please?

Hi Jim,
Tough to tell, but I'd try this for a good start.
I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • IPad air keyboard  makes sound when volume is turned all the way down

    My iPad air's keyboard makes noise, even when the volume is turned all the way down. Is this normal? If so how can I turn off the keyboard typing noise without disabling entirely.

    Aloha Raptorcheese, Good news, if you have you have change with buttons turned on you can control the keyboard volume with the normal volume control. No need to go back to settings all the time.

  • HT4623 My iPad mini does not make noise when typing

    My iPad mini does not make noise when typing

    Settings>Sounds>Keyboard Clicks>On. If the setting is correct, you may have muted system sounds.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • The ringer only makes noise when the earpiece is in.  The settings are showing as correct

    The ringer only makes noise when the earpiece is in.  The settings are showing as on for both ringer and messages.

    The internal switch in the audio output port is stuck.  Try inserting the earphone plug a few times.  If no success, try jiggling a tooth pick inside in order to trip the switch.. If still no success, have the technicians at the Apple store genius bar do it for you.
    Ciao.

  • My iMac keyboard is lagging when I type. It is driving me crazy. How can I fix it?

    My iMac keyboard is lagging when I type. It just recently started doing this and it is driving me crazy. Can someone please help, this is killing me!

    Open System Preferences > Bluetooth
    Select the keyboard then click -  (minus) bottom left corner of the window.
    Now, restart your Mac, then go back to the Bluetooth preferrence pane and click:  Set Up New Device
    If that doesn't help, go to /Library/Preferences
    Move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    See if that helped.

  • Is it normal for the MacBook Pro to make noises when I put it to sleep?

    I apologize for posting a new question so soon, but I wanted to get my technical problems with my MacBook Pro sorted out before I go back to school.
    I'm worried about this one thing that happens when my MacBook Pro goes to sleep. After I close the laptop and it goes into "sleep mode" every few minutes or so it makes this noise like it keeps on turning on then going back to sleep, turning on then going back to sleep. It never did this before. Does anyone else hear these weird noises when it's in sleep mode?
    For some reason it does not make these noises when I press the power button, and then press sleep. So this confuses me.

    I have the same problem after just having my logic board replaced.

  • My macbook makes noises when i turn it on.

    i recently bought a macbook pro 15 inch, the 2.66ghz one and when i turn it on it makes noises but the noises sound like they are in rhythm and are maybe playing a song? is that normal?

    Me, too! It sounds like the optical drive is doing a little tune! The actual sound has that optical drive buzz, and it starts on first B-flat above middle C (forgive musical dorkiness - if it helps, I could actually transcribe it) ... just a couple seconds long. It happens at start-up (including restarts) and wake-up. It's pretty loud, actually, like it would be disruptive if it happened during a lecture ... What could this be? Is it ominous?

  • Mac pro 13'' harddisk makes noises when writing and reading data, but Techtool scanning result shows no bad blocks in the disk, that is normal?

    I bought my Mac pro 13 inch, i7 processor and 750G storage 20th November 2012. But I found when copy into or out the Mac, the harddisk makes noises, like bitting something. I thought there are bad blocks in the disk, but the result of Techtool scanning is no bad blocks in disk, and giving a passed conclusion.
    I went the apple store for testing, and the repairmen told me there are two choices available for me:1) replace the harddisk 2) back to the store i bought machine from for a new one. i think that the machine only bought few days, it had better not be disassembled, so i went back for a new one. unfortunately, the new one makes more noises than my old one. i don't know why like apple named brands notebooks have such problems.  did you undergo this experience ?

    All of the HDDs, be they in my MBPs or enclosures are barely audible.  I would say the you deserve no less.  I suggest that you do not leave until you are satisfied with a near silent HDD.
    Why you got two in a row is a puzzle, but then some people beat the odds and win the lottery.  In your case the results are not exactly positive.  All HDDs eventually fail, and some fail sooner than others.  At least you should start with a quiet one.
    Good luck.
    Ciao.

  • Charger makes noise when using the touchpad

    When I scroll (up-down-left-right) (2 or more fingers only) through the touchpad on my MacBook Air, while plugged-in to the charger, the charger makes a "scrolling" sound. It's so weird, not annoying, but weird.
    Anyone had the same same thing?

    it's like a chirping noise when scrubbing eg. youtube videos. could it be the video card problem? because of the multiple monitors?

  • IPod Classic makes noises when charging

    My iPod classic 7th gen makes a really weird noise when its connected to a power source. It began happening midway thru an iTunes sync, and occurs on any charger/cable/dock. it basically sounds kinda like the old dialup sounds computers used to made, but higher-pitched. It is not the hard drive, im positive on that one cuz i can hear it spin off but the noise continues.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Is it serious? Can it be fixed?

    It just went away as quickly as it came. Weird. Hope it doesnt come back.

  • My PSE12 will only type CAPITAL letters no matter what font I choose.  Started doing this yesterday

    My PSE12
    will only type CAPITAL letter no matter what font I choose.  Started doing this yesterday and I can't get back to having upper and lower case letters.

    Perhaps you could reset the tools using this method:
    1) Launch PSE in Editor Mode
    2) click on the Expert Tab
    3) At the bottom right corner look for something like this :
    This should solve the problem quickly.
    Good luck and post back.

  • Optical drive makes noises when waking up

    Every time I turn the machine on or wake it up from sleep, the optical drives lets out a little whine, as if checking if there's a CD in the drive. I find that very disturbing. Is there a solution?

    Dushkin,
    its normal behavior-basically, as you said, the OS
    checking to see if there is a disc in the drive when
    it starts or wakes up. What I find more annoying is
    accidentally hitting the eject key all the time and
    hearing the same noise.
    ugh the mis-hitting the eject button drives me nuts. cuse i do it so often when going to hit delete while typing. sometimes it doesnt even make the eject sound(if ive already hit it a number of times i think it knows there is no disk to eject)
    im still looking for a software program that can disable the eject button on the keyboard, but obviously dont want to do irrepairable harm to my computer so it looks like i will just deal with the mis-hits

  • My iphone 4s no longer makes noise when receiving phone call or sms

    i have an iphone 4s purchased june 2012
    everything worked fine when i bought it
    sometime during a holiday trip over christmas 2012, the noise function broke
    what works fine?
    i can play music and hear it
    i can make a call and hear the other person
    i do receive calls and i can still hear the other person
    i can hear siri
    what is broken?
    when i get a phone call, no ringer sounds even though yes i'm sure i have a ringer selected. 
    if i test the ringer sound in general > settings, i hear the sound. if i change the ringer to another option, i can hear it in settings, but not when i actually get a phone call.
    when i get a text, no alert sound is made even though yes i'm sure i have an alert selected.  if i test the alert in general > settings, i hear the alert sound.  if i change the alert to another option, i can hear it in settings, but not when i actually get a text.
    i have tried a restore and a re-boot
    help please thanks

    Turn on phone
    Press home button twice
    Close any open app pages that appear
    Restart phone
    This apparently  resets the apps and the ring tone goes on when you receive a text.
    Worked for me anyway.

  • I have created an editable PDF via Adobe Indesign. When I open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, is there a way to specify a font style? Or is there a way in InDesign to make sure when someone type in that text field it is a certain font?

    I need to make sure the text that is entered is a certain font to keep it continuous with the rest of the document. Thank you!

    To go into form editing mode, select "Prepare Form" in the right hand pane. You'll then get a toolbar along the top that contains the various form-related tools. The first thing to do is add a temporary button. You'll use this to determine the name of the font for use with the script as well as place the script that will change the font properties of the text fields. So create a button anywhere, double-click it to bring up the field properties dialog, and on the Actions tab add a JavaScript action to the Mouse Up event that is:
    // Mouse Up script for temporary button
    app.alert(event.target.textFont);
    On the Appearance tab, select the font that you want to use for the text fields. Once you've done that, close form editing mode and click the button. It will display a popup that will list the font name. This may be different than the name that appeared in the dropdown on the appearance tab, so write it down. For example, when I chose "Minion Pro" from the dropdown, the popup showed "MinionPro-Regular".
    The next step is to replace that Mouse Up script with the following:
    // Mouse Up script for temporary button
    // Change the font and font size for all text field in this document
    for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
        var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
        if (f.type === "text") {
            f.textFont = "MinionPro-Regular";
            f.textSize = 9;
    Replace "MinionPro-Regular" with the font name that you wrote down before and set the font size to whatever you want. Use 0 to specify a font size of "Auto".
    This script will change the font of all text fields to whatever you specify. When you've confirmed that the text fields are set up as you want, you can go ahead and delete or hide the button. If you think you'll be doing a lot of forms work, you can create custom tools in Acrobat to speed up this process, but this should get you started. InDesign won't let you specify a lot of field properties and actions, so you have to work this way, and using automation scripts is an accessible way to significantly speed up the process and avoid mistakes.
