My N key is messed up

I was sitting at my computer just now and all the sudden, my N key got messed up or something. It still seems to work (as you can see), but I have add a lot of extra preassure on it then when im normally typing! Additionaly, it looks like its "pushed in" more on the right side, and its more elevated on the left!
Is there any way to pop the key off and place it back on or anything!? Its really, really annoying me! I keep needing to go back and hit the N key again because the first time i dont add enough preassure!

it is covered thru the protection plan, and if you don't want to send it back, you can always have apple send it to the apple store nearby and then you can just go into the apple store to swap it out.
i suggest you do that, if you the apple store doesn't have any keys in stock.

  • My keys are messed up

    Hi guys well my keys are messed up. Just recently my zoom thingy on my mouse pad on the mac book pro didn't work so I re-downloaded mac os again, which it happened to me last time and it worked. But after I did that my keys got messed up. Every time i press the space bar it scrolls down the page i am looking at automatically. And every time I press the back button it automatically goes back to the previous page so i can't press the back or erase button at all so any please help. I tried  going to system settings but everything is fine. And calling apple well you know the usual my apple care plan expired so they want me to pay $49 dollars for probably a measely easy fix and I would feel bad for wasting that much on some easy thing so anybody help

    If you have, do you have any idea how to undo it?

    I'm having the same issue but with HP Photosmart 7525 and HP LaserJet P1102W.  Both worked fine until earlier this week when I "shut down and updated" my computer.  I keep deleting the printers from my computer and reinstalling them;
    they work temporarily then tell me they are "offline" when, clearly, they are not.

  • Satellite Pro L870 - 17x || fn keys are messed up

    I recently used system restore to resore my laptop back to its factory setting.
    The problem I have is whenever I hold the fn key and f1 - f12 keys, nothing happens. When I release the fn key, the f1 - f12 buttons do the command they were supposed to do while I held fn. This makes it incredibly annoying for me, as I am used to using alt f4 to close my current windows, instead the second screen window pops up. It lets me close the window if I'm also holding fn, but that is a little impractical.
    I tried to follow some different instructions from other threads, which tell me to got to Start>All Programs>TOSHIBA>Utilities
    I just cant get to the Utilities part because there is no option for Utilities. The only thing in the TOSHIBA folder is Toshiba TEMPRO and User's Manual.
    The problem started immediately after I had restored my laptop.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this?
    Thank you in advance

    whenever I hold the fn key and f1 - f12 keys, nothing happens. When I release the fn key, the f1 - f12 buttons do the command they were supposed to do while I held fn
    It sounds to me like the Fx keys would do those things without the Fn key. To change that UEFI setting, go to the Keyboard tab in System Settings. See the section Function Keys mode at the bottom of p. 5-12 in the User's Manual (attached).

  • Will the Apple Genius Bar take my MacBook Pro if the keys are messed up?

    I got my MacBook Pro a couple of weeks ago and its still under warrenty. A frew weeks ago, I got some weird yellow stuff on my keys. I tried to get the stuff out but i eventually broke the keys. Will apple now take my MacBook Pro?

    Yes, they will. But they will state that the problem was caused by misuse and not covered by warranty. Then they will offer to repair it The Official Way by replacing the entire topcase, to the tune of $700-$900 out of your pocket. Oh, WAIT! I'ts a Retina. Scratch that, think about $1500-$2000.
    If the "yellow stuff" did not trickle down into the guts of the Mac and it still works, note that replacement keycaps can be had at https://www.replacementlaptopkeys.com/
    And I will do my best to not imagine the nature of the yellow stuff and how it came to be spurted on the suffering keyboard.......

  • HP Pavilion DV7-6163us Entertainm​ent PC: 2wsx keys are messed up and don't work most of the time.

    I have a HP dv7-6163us Entertainment PC. Here are the specs= http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&​dlc=en&docname=c02863099&lc=en&product=5141405
    Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel Core i7
    Hello! I have a problem that just started yesterday where my 2wsx keys have started to not respond at all some times. They sometimes don't respond, and though they work sometimes, it can be annoying while I am playing a game or typing a document. Interestingly, if I try to push the "wsx" keys all at once while they aren't working, they begin to work again. But only for a short amount of time.
    I have some guesses at why this is happening:
    Motherboard issue, seems the keys are in a row maybe meaning that the wires on the motherboard are all connected.
    Keys are broke. Doubt it though as they seem to look fine.
    Maybe a overheat on the motherboard? I don't know, but the fan is right below these keys.
    Thanks! If link doesn't work I am reposting the link.

    Hi,
    You are very welcome. Yes, I wanted you to try the steps in the section which says "Keyboard is not working". I wanted you to try setting BIOS to defaults and uninstalling the Keyboard driver and restarting the Notebook to re-install them automatically. If you have already tried them let's go ahead and perform a BIOS Update on the Notebook.
    For doing that I would like to know whether the Windows 7 OS on your Notebook is 32 bit or 64 Bit.
    I am waiting to hear back from you.

    Hi l, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I agree with captfred, you definitely want to run that update, and then repair permissions. If that doesn't do the trick, try removing the batt and running. In some cases the batt causes pressure on a cable between it and the inside of the MBP case, resulting in keyboard/trackpad issues.

  • Bug & Conflict w/ Palm Destop 6 & Windows Media Player

    I am a long time Palm user but my T2 was not getting much use considering I was already carrying Two cell phones. But I was excited to get an upgrade to a Centro for one of my phones. Now I am dealing with the differences between PalmDesktop4 (PD4) and PD6 on Windows XP SP3.
    I found what appears to be a critical bug in the installation of PD6 in that it has some very undesirable interactions with Windows Media Player (WMP) 10 & 11. Let me preface by saying that I am not using WMP or PocketTunes for any syncing or transferring any media to my Centro. My Centro is only used for calendar, contacts, calculators, and Docs2Go.
    I have installed PD6 and the PD6 user data to a removable drive for personal privacy on a work computer. The error is that when ever the drive is not mounted and wmplayer.exe is started, Windows searches for the Palm Access Installation package on my removable drive and attempts to start a installation of PD6. Of course it does not find the .msi and the only thing that happens is my computer locks up till I close WMP and then the ACCESS installer goes away. If the removable drive is mounted with the PD6 application directory and the PD6 user data, WMP loads quickly and appears to work fine.
    Why is WMP trying to connect to applications or support files in the PD6 application directory?
    I can only assume that the new PD6 media tab now is hooked into some windows media services. PD6 must be registered as a client/helper app to windows media and WMP is trying to load or locate the registered resources.
    The big problem with this is that my user data path gets over written with PD6 installation defaults in the Windows Registry and I have to manually reset all the PalmDesktop registry data to point PD6 at my really user path on the V: drive.
    This should not be installed this way. The association between the two applications appears to be an error in the ACCESS installation package for PD6.
    I used Palm.com “Chat” support four or five time for some very basic support in getting my new Centro setup. The Palm.com “Chat” support was great. For this issue they were absolutely useless. One support person affirmed that I should be able to use the removable drive, the next just had me do reinstalls for PD6 (that I had already done) and then told me I would have to use the defaults for C:\Program Files and D:\Documents and Settings\username... They recommended that I use the Palm.com phone support number.
    I did this and it had to be one of the worse support calls I have made in a while (case number 1-51474282949). Why is it impossible to get any computer software or hardware company to support the desktop software they putout? I got the same tech support baby talk about “reinstalling the application”, “use the default installation path”, “its not our application” and “you will have to contact Microsoft for support on your operating system”. Ahhhhh!
    I was not even able to speak with a “Level 2” tech support person. I demanded that I be connected to a technical person a not just fed the same FAQ crap that I could find on the website. The “Level 2” person would not take my call but just passed the message to the “Level 1” Person that I would have to contact Microsoft.
    So I am posting this message here to the Palm fourm in hope that the software engineering team will see this and be able to either patch their software or give me the .reg key to break the association between WMP and PD6. Below I have posted a long list of my Chat support that explains the issues in further technical details, and also details the lack of detailed skilled support available at Palm.com.
    Help? Direction?
    I have my palm application directory installed to V:\PalmDesktop6App and the user data files installed to V:\jcollyer-files\PalmDataV6_001 This is a removable drive that I install on my work computer. I remove this drive and take it home with me. Doing this allows me the ability to keep my palm data secure but I can still use my computer at work to manage my palm data.
    If the V:\ drive is not mounted when I run palm desktop, Palm desktop messes up the "Path" regestry key:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\Core]
    "DesktopPath"="V:\\PalmDesktop6App\\"
    "HotSyncPath"="V:\\PalmDesktop6App\\Hotsync.exe"
    "Path"="V:\\jcollyer-files\\PalmDataV6_001"
    "UserConduitFolder"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\jcollyer\\Application Data\\HotSync\\Conduits"

    @=""
    "Desktop Language"="ENG"
    "INSTALLDIR"="V:\\PalmDesktop6App\\"
    "VM_Username"="John Collyer"
    When the key gets messed up it defaults to the standard palm desktop path:
    "C:\Documents and Settings\jcollyer\My Documents\Palm OS Desktop"
    I found this out because every time Windows Media player starts it tries to start Palm Desktop or the Palm Desktop install/remove program. I get a pop up window and progress bar that says “Palm Desktop by Access”. The only way to get rid of this pop up window is to shut down windows media player. So if my V: drive is not mounted just starting windows media player corrupts the user “Path” registry settings. It just so happens our work voicemail uses media player on the computer.

    Dan > Hello John_Collyer, Thank you for contacting Palm Technical Support. My name is Dan. How may I help you?
    John_Collyer > When the key gets messed up it defaults to the standard palm desktop path:
    "C:\Documents and Settings\jcollyer\My Documents\Palm OS Desktop"
    I found this out because every time Windows Media player starts it tries to start Palm Desktop or the Palm Desktop install/remove program. I get a pop up window and progress bar that says “Palm Desktop by Access”. The only way to get rid of this pop up window is to shut down windows media player. So if my V: drive is not mounted just starting windows media player corrupts the user “Path” registry settings. It just so happens our work voicemail uses media player on the computer. I am using window media player 11.
    What the heck is going on? How can I stop Windows Media Player from triggering the palm desktop application? Better yet why does it even try?
    It does this when I simply open windows media player, even without a file. Just opening the Windows Media player application by it’s self causes this behavior.
    Dan > Please let me go through the information you have provided.
    John_Collyer > Ok standing by...
    Dan > I understand that you have issue with the Palm Desktop and windows Media player getting messed up .
    Dan > Sure I will guide with the issue .
    Dan > May I know since when you are facing the issue ?
    Dan > Please let me know the Operating System you are using. Is it Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista or MAC?
    John_Collyer > I had this problem from the first install about two weeks. I use PalmDesktop 4 with my T2 for years on a removable drive never had an issue. PD6 only allows me to set the user path during installation. So I have been having issues with the reg keys getting messed up for a while. I though just creating a .reg file to fix the problems was going to be simple till I found windows media player was trying to autostart palm software???
    John_Collyer > Windows XP SP3
    John_Collyer > I am a new owner of the Palm Centro not using the T2 with PD6
    Dan > Thank you for information .
    Dan > I got the issue .
    Dan > There are more than one version of the Palm software in the computer .
    John_Collyer > No only PD6 now
    Dan > That's reason the Drivers in the Registry are messing up and causing the issue .
    Dan > Okay .
    Dan > Do you have any data in the Palm Desktop ?
    John_Collyer > Yes, when the V: drive is mounted everything works great, perfect. Windows Media player even load without a hitch. I would even deal with the .reg fix work around I made to over write the registry. I still don't understand why the application tries to load when it is installed on the V: drive if the v: drive is not present. It has to be the install/uninstall .msi file that runs the Add/Remove programs feature in widows control panel. Why does any of this change the user path?
    Dan > I will explain you .
    Dan > The reason for change of the path is with the corrupted applications and computer settings .
    John_Collyer > Sorry, Why would the .msi file run if Windows Media is started?
    Dan > .MSI file is the supporting file for Windows Media player .
    Dan > That's reason for executing of .msi file during the windows media player .
    Dan > To fix the issue we must perform clean uninstall and reinstall so that you will not have any further issue .
    Dan > Let me know if you are comfortable with the clean uninstall and reinstall if the Palm software .
    John_Collyer > I've uninstalled PD6 and reinstalled it like 12 times. If the V: drive is missing it really messes up the PD6 software. To keep me from doing this by launching PD6 from the C: drive I installed it to V:. No .exe no launchy. It works fine. What is hooking into windows media player. A .msi is a Microsoft install package, not a media file. We can do a clean install but why would running windows media player start the palm install/uninstall .msi file? I have not heard why?
    John_Collyer > All my installs have worked fine. Unless there is a deeper cleaning process you can help me with other than running the remove program, is it worth trying AGAIN?
    Dan > Did you perform clean uninstall and reinstall >
    John_Collyer > Clean = remove program, reinstall, and sync to a new user folder? Then Yes. Other options?
    Dan > No we need top perform few other steps .
    John_Collyer > Ok shall I "Remove Program"?
    Dan > No please wait .
    Dan > First please let me know if you have any data in the Palm Desktop in the computer .
    John_Collyer > Yes, but it is also going to be kept in the phone correct? It will survive if we create a new user folder right?
    Dan > Yes .
    Dan > Please let me know the user name given during the Sync .
    John_Collyer > Well then I think it is safe, I have recently hotsynced so the data should be a match?
    John_Collyer > John Collyer
    Dan > Cool .
    Dan > Thank you for information .
    Dan > In the computer open My documents -->Palm OS Desktop-->locate folder called CoolyJ .

    Dan > Please wait .
    Dan > Please right click on the Palm Desktop and then click on Properties .

    Dan > You will have the Palm Desktop icon on the computer desktop .
    Dan > Okay .
    Dan > Thank you for information .
    Dan > Please take the back of the Palm Desktop data in the computer .
    John_Collyer > Destop target = V:\PalmDesktop6App\Palm.exe tpp
    John_Collyer > ??? Please take the back of the Palm Desktop data in the computer
    Dan > I mean to tell you that we must save all data of the Palm Desktop in different location .
    Dan > I will assist you .
    Dan > In the computer open V:drive-->locate Palm folder .
    Dan > Open Palm folder and check if you have folder called CoolyJ .
    John_Collyer > V:\jcollyer-files\PalmDataV6_001\CollyeJ
    John_Collyer > No CoolyJ
    Dan > Okay .
    Dan > In the computer open Vrive-->Collerfiles-->Copy Palm folder and paste on the computer desktop .

    Did all this above. Still have Windows Media Player trying to launch the ACCESS .msi installer which creates these processes:
    IDriver.exe (x5)
    IdriverT.exe (x1)
    MSIexec.exe (x3)
    I have let windows media player and windows installer run a bit longer and I get a second window titled "windows installer" with the text:
    The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
    Click OK to try again, or enter and alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Palm Desktop by ACCESS.msi' in the box below.
    [C:\DOCUME~1\jcollyer\LOCALS~1\Temp\_is4\]
    this is the default text.
    I browsed my way to C:\WINDOWS\Installer and found a new .msi for PD6 called C:\WINDOWS\Installer\45599.msi and renamed it to C:\WINDOWS\Installer\45599_PalmNeedsBetterSoftware​_msi
    Still have the same issues from above. I thought if the .msi failed to be found then the error might just get passed over. So I do not know where IDriver.exe or other MS Installer applications is getting the values for 'Palm Desktop by ACCESS.msi'?
    Again it is very odd that the ACCESS installer it trying to run when windows media player is launched (even with out any media, app only). Please do not tell me to do another "Clean Install" that is just BABY-TALK tech support at this point!!! I need to know why the PalmDesktop ACCESS installer is hooking into Windows Media Player. There is no doubt something odd is going on. As long as the V: drive where my Palm Desktop applications and user data is stored there is no problem. As soon as the V: drive is off line I have all these issues.
    I noticed that PalmDesktop now has advanced media tools to "Make Video" in the media tab of Palm Desktop. This is where you can export a .mpg slide show of all you photos from your palm photos.
    I would bet you a free year of Verizon's wireless data plan that the new Palm Desktop is registered as some type of client application to windows media service. When windows media player loads it tries to register all the clients and the Palm media client application is not available so some how MS Windows tries to start the PalmDesktop installer to fix the client media application.
    Please note that I am not using Pocket Tunes at all, not trying to sync pTunes with Windows media or Rhapsody or any other media junk. Right now I want my palm to just be a extra smart contact and calendar manager, that’s all.
    PALM NEEDS TO PATCH THIS. Palm Desktop should call Windows Media when it needs it, not have Palm Desktop registered as a client application to Windows Media by default!
    PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS A SIMPLE FAQ FIX FOR ALL NONSENSE???
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Thank you so much for replying.
    Yes I have removed and reinstalled WMP.
    I had good results with the PD6 application installed on the default path onto the C: drive with the one exception that if the application was launched by accident and the user data path was not available, the PD6 application would blow away my custom user path registry settings. Now that I know what they are I have made a .reg file to repair my registry to my desired user data paths.
    Installing the application on the removable drive appeared to help prevent me from launching the application by accident and overwriting my registry with default user paths.
    So which is the less of the two evils?
    If the application directory is not available, windows media player still tries to launch the .msi for installing PD6.
    If I install the application to the C: drive but the user data to the removable drive, launching the PD6 application without the user data drive will still corrupt my registry settings for a user data path.
    Both these issues seem like a logical (if not easy) fix that should be done in the PD6 application and installation package. I mean really, cannot anyone tell me why windows media player is checking the PD6 application directory? Why in PD4 did we have an option control for setting the user data path from the PD4 application? Why is this option not in the PD6 application, just the installer?
    I am given a choice during installation to move the user data to another non default location. Why else would this be provided if not to accommodate my kind of request to store the user data into an alternate location other than “My Document”. Certainly Palm is not trying to force the users on how to protect and store their personal data?

  • Software Update Glitches

    My BlackBerry Q10 worked perfectly before I installed the new software update. Now that I have version 10.2.1.2179, my keys are messed up: the Q & A keys are backwards (when I press the Q key I get an "A" and vice versa). Same thing with my W & Z keys. Also, the keys on the right side of the keyboard try to make other characters: when I use a double O I get "ö". Double L = "ø", etc. Also, my $ key makes a "€". My other issue is that most of my contacts are not saved with a "1" in front of the area code and with this update, my phone doesn't recognize who my text messages are from (not displaying the name, just the number). I'm hoping I don't have to change every contact to add the 1, especially since the phone doesn't display the 1 when someone calls/texts, so when you chose the option to save that number, it doesn't include a 1. Any suggestions???

  • Keyboard is not working properly in Macbook !

    Dear all,
    On 9th Jan'2010, I used slightly wet mac cleaning cloth with water to clean my macbook in outer portions and this I've done after shut down. I've done before several times but nothing happened. One more thing happened this time, I updated it to Mac OS X 10.6.2. When I start up my macbook, it worked smoothly 2-3 minutes after that it shows , key always press. Then I shut down again and check it the same behavior I found. After 1 hour all keys stop working with caps lock key's LED green but trackpad working correctly. When I put my macbook in sun light some of keys are now back in work but most of them are not. Since now in start up it always shows pressing key , and by pressing \ key it stops. My keys which works well are: 3, 7, 9, u, o, p, \, d, j, l, ;, ', m. Some of keys showing messing behavior means by pressing one key it shows many in keyboard viewer, e.g., pressing key w it shows twy, t it shows twy, and y it shows twy and so on. I noticed when I keep caps lock on, if I press any of the key it effects on caps lacks's LED shows. It means some how all keys are working. Some times caps lock LED glow dim and later times it becomes brighter. Its glow is inconsistently. External USB keyboard and USB mouse are working perfectly if I remove the effect of , key after startup by pressing \ in the internal keyboard. In startup it always take the effect of , key of the internal keyboard. Because of this I'm not able to do hardware check, PRAM resetting etc. Some times it shows strange keyboard viewer:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/46629593@N08/4276121304/
    . When I restart it becomes normal US keyboard viewer. When macbook went in sleep it doesn't wake up by pressing any of the working keys of the internal keyboard while by the external keyboard it does. I'm not very much sure whether it is a hardware problem or software. Help me out friends. Many thanx in advance.

    Your alt (aka opt or ⌥) key is stuck down. This seems to be quite common these days.
    Try teasing it up with the corners of two credit cards or similar flexible, non-conducting tools.
    If that doesn't work, the wafer switch underneath may be damaged, in which case it'll need to go in for service.

    Thank you in advance for your help!!!!!

    I had a very similar problem, error 4251.  (look in your log you will see that error)  Since I finally fixed my problem, I thought I would see if I can help someone else.
    What I found is that I lost burn ability in both iTunes AND Windows.  Like you did.  I did some digging and found that this wasn't hardware related at all.  In fact, this boils down to a registry key getting messed up.  (sigh) Yeah.  It causes the system to get a bad 'handle'.
    OK, here's what to try.  Go to this Microsoft KB article.  Scroll down and find the *manual* instructions for Vista.  Delete the registry key that it specifies.  Reboot. Now verify that you can burn in Windows.  (If you have a RW disc, do a disc erase, or just try and burn from Windows Media Player.)  If that is working now,  you're on the right track.
    Now the issue is that iTunes will still be broken.  Go and install the latest Gear driver.  (I know you may have done it, but do it again.)  Now follow the intructions in this Apple KB article to verify the "GEARAspiWDM" info is back there in the registry.  Now reboot.  Try and burn in iTunes. 
    I hope this helps.

  • What is the differences on customer

    what is the differences in customer both technical and functional areas.

    it will leave logic express or will it load on top of logic express 8
    When you install Logic Pro 8 it will leave Express so you will have both on your computer.
    If I have logic studio 7 which I do have would this load on top of my old logic studio 7
    It will also leave Logic Pro 7 on your machine - it will rename it 'Logic Pro 7' and install 8 as 'Logic Pro.'
    plus my dongle key got messed up so I need a new one would it ask me for one with logic studio 8.
    If you don't have a working dongle, then you can not purchase the 'Upgrade from Logic Pro 7 package. However, since you own Express (it has to be the full version of Express, not the Academic or the 'Not For Resale' version) you can buy the Upgrade from Express version.
