my numpad won't work. there's a beep when i hit numlock and instead of numbers, my cursor just moves slightly. i figure it's something simple, but i'm not sure how to fix it.

it's a mac mini with 10.5.6 on it. the keyboard is actually i think intended for a pc, but it worked fine for the mac. i also had a legit apple keyboard that worked fine as well. i think that i may have accidentally tweaked the preferences somehow, and it disabled my num lock.

External ITWorks Numpad won't work on MBP with Mavericks

Hello,
I'd be really thankful if anyone knows the solution to this one:
I have a new MBP with Mavericks 10.9.2, for working in Sibelius (notation software) I always used an external
numeric pad, an I.T. Works model (KP-6910W) via USB.
It perfectly worked with my old MBP (OS 10.5.something) but isn't even recognised by my new computer.
Choices in "change keyboardtype" in the system preferences menu only contain full keyboards by either japanese, european or
american standards, but no numpads...
Thanks!
Philipp

Philipp,
I use KeyRemap4MacBook as a numeric keypad substitute. On a US English keyboard layout, pressing the fn key provides the following “built-in” numeric keypad equivalents:
7890-   to   789/=
uiop    to   456*
jkl;    to   123-
m,./    to   0,.+

I have a iPad 1. All of a sudden, when I turn it on, the screen is grayish/black. I tried turning it on and off, but the thing won't work. Please help! I just brought it like 3 months ago!

Ok so, I own an iPad 1. I was using it and you know playing games and all. All of a sudden, the screen went black/grayish. I payed a lot of money for it, this is the second one I had to buy because the first one I owned broke. Could some water have gone in it? Please, help me. I can't buy another one. Please, reply ASAP.

Might be hardware failure. Take the iPhone to the nearest Apple store
for evaluation. Make a Genius Bar appointment to avoid delay at the store.

Infinity won't work wirelessly with Ubuntu OS

I'm running Ubuntu Netbook Edition and upgraded my BT broadband to Infinity on 28.12.11, using the same HomeHub3 that worked perfectly well with the old Total service.
It doesn't work, wirelessly. I can get an apparently strong connection, but its agonisingly slow. At the same time, an ethernet connection works well, When I switch from one to the other and test the speed, I can watch the bandwidth fall away (i.e.: it isn't immediately disconnected.)
Nobody at BT can or will help, telling me that Ubuntu is 'unsupported' (i.e.: it's my problem). I reported this problem to BT - ref: xxxxxx-xxxxxx - via its complaints form on 28.12.11, but have had no response.
I've spent much time this past week on internet help forums. It transpies that BT has known about this issue with Ununtu for six months, but has apparently done nothing about it and cannot suggest a solution.
Suggested workarounds from other Ubuntu users involve manually reconfiguring one's connection, but my netbook won't allow me to apply the changed settings, or to change the router settings from N to G tech., but that only worked temporarily for me and, besides, my netbook is only a couple of year old.
When I was sold Infinity, nobody mentioned that it doesn't work with Ubuntu. Frankly, I feel it was mis-sold as I intended to increase the bandwidth of my Total account and was persuaded to take Infinity on the grounds that it's a superior service for the same price. Not from where I sit, it isn't.
The only solution I can see is to get BT to switch me back to their Total service, which suited me fine. I'm going to get their engineer to come back and uninstall Infinity. I will also complain to Offcom, as this situation could easily have been avoided had the BT sales person told me that Infinity won't work wirelessly with Ubuntu.

Firstly your negotiating skills with BT are far better than mine....
"....Total account and was persuaded to take Infinity on the grounds that it's a superior service for the same price"
I was on BT Total BB and had to pay an extra £2 pm for Infinity and then an extra £4.75pm uplift of the calls package to give me the same anytime calls I had previously.... And had to re-start another 18month contract!!! Ohhh well.
Right onto the problem... Webby's suggestion of making sure your on a clear or least used wireless channel is good advice.
Here is the link to the free software http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/
Have a look at a demo,- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf2kZCfYTxI
To be honest I would move your HH3 from the Automatic setting to a fixed wireless channel as they seem to work better like that.
If your Operating System won't work with Inssider I would then just try a different channel starting at 1 and work up... seeing how things go.
Regarding setting your HH3 to wireless g, that is a very backward step as the most you'll get over that would be around 20Mbps depending on your distance from hub etc.
Couple of pics comparing my speed test over wireless g and n in THIS POST.
Another thing I would try is a wireless n USB adapter... just in case your m/c is only g
Links of how to identify what yours is and pictures of the difference in the "Network Sharing Centre".. 54Mbps being g and anything above is wireless n....
Wireless n gives the best speed assuming your Infinity download IP is more than 20Mbps. Also wireless n signal is more robust penetrating walls etc.
There are links to the type of wireless n adapters I use... Picture of one HERE, (Don't need the extender cable shown in that picture).
wwwebber's post was very useful.-
"I use Ubuntu on my laptop with BT Infinity & HH3 with no problems at all. BT is not at fault here - they do not support Ubuntu."
Confirming Infinity and Unbunto do work...
You say ".....but my netbook won't allow me to apply the changed settings, or to change the router settings .... but that only worked temporarily for me......"
As changing settings worked temporarily you must have been able to log into your HH3.
If you really can't log in can you borrow a friends netbook running windows to get logged in perhaps?
Log in,- http://bthomehub.home/html/home/home.html go to Advanced settings, wireless. and change Channel settings from Automatic to a channel number then click on Apply.
I would place your laptop near to the HH3 and move the HH3 wireless channel to a clear channel or start at channel 1.
Try to get a good wireless n speed..... example of mine 37Mbps over http://www.speedtest.net/
Then when you have a reasonable speed move your laptop away... you will notice a drop over distance that's normal.
I am 20' away from my HH3 and get 37Mbps through a plasterboard wall.
Regarding other routers people have used http://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Infinity/List-of-Routers-to-replace-Home-Hub-3/td-p/298203
And see Ady's msg #21 and #25 in THIS THREAD.
"'ll try the netbook in different locations over the w/e and hope from a solution from Ubuntu before remonstrating further with BT".
Please let us know how you get on.

Photoshop elements 4.0 won't work

Adobe photoshop 4.0 won't work. After installing a hp scanner, I upgraded a driver for it and had problems. So I did a system restore for oct 2009 and now photoshop won't work.I fully uninstalled all my adobe programs except active x then reinstalled photoshop elements. I have had a series of errors including "error reading configuration file" and "adobe help cannot start model effor subsystem 1" I searched this and found the updated help file and installed that. So once I open adobe, i can pull a picture into it then it won't work. Every button I press just gives a ding sound.

You mean to say you are able to run but when you try opening any image it crashes. Can you try resetting the preferences:
Click on the EDITOR icon -- the quickly hold down CTRL+SHIFT+ALT keys, this will generate a dialogue box to delete settings.
try and let me know

Ack! AU plugins won't work on Intel Macs!

I know this is already known, but does anyone know what to do about the fact that all our old AUs won't work on Intel Macs? I just got a new mini and wanted to use the good old C3 compressor and it wasn't there, even though I had installed it in the usual place.
I'm not even gonna bother trying to add Guitar Rig 2 until I hear that it works.
Any news on new ports of C3? Or any new Intel-compatible AUs?

Hi chris,
You need to check all the sites where you got your plugins to see if they are Intel ready (most should be in the next couple of months).
Check out this thread for a bunch of free plugs too (some of wich are Intel Compatible). Thanks go to Warrior Ant for the VAST majority of these posts.

My iPod Video won't work with videos!

Just want to thank you for this brilliant solution. It worked!! I also want you to know that I actually went into the apple store today, and none of the clerks had any idea how to fix this. That excludes the ''genius bar'' which had a five hour wait for appointments! Thank you so much again, merrymusic

I have an ipod 2g , The keyboard won't work! Or at least some of it's letters and numbers won't. please help i'm stuck with emojis

i have an ippd touch 2g , a part of my keyboard won't work , i can type letters but i can't type numbers . please help i'm stuck with emojis keyboard

Try restarting the iPod by holding down the lock and home button together and then slide the power button to turn it off and then wait 10 seconds and start it up again. If it is not a reset issue then it may be a hardware issue. Is your iPod damaged or have you dropped it recently? If it is a hardware problem then you may not be able to fix it. If your iPod has multitasking options like the new iOS devices, close out the app and then try again, it should reset your device to letters instead of emojis.

Table of Contents page numbers on next line (solution won't work!)

I'm having this problem where the page number for my item in the table of contents appears on the next line instead of allt he way to the right on the same line. Example:
Chapter 1 . . . . . . . . . . . .
4
instead of
Chapter 1 . . . . . . . . . . . .4
A solution has already been posted, but it won't work for me:
"This is simple to solve. Select the TOC entry and show the text inspector. There press the "Tab" button for the tabulator seetings. At the bottom is a list of tab stops. Select the last one with a double click and set the number to a slight lower number then the width of your TOC area is. Make sure the tab stop is for right aligning by activating the button on the right side of the tab stop list (but I think it is already). Do that for all TOC levels and don't forget to save the styles." -Frank
When I try to do this, I type my desired tab stop in (5 in, incidentally) and then as soon as I click outside the field it reverts to the default, which is the full width of my column.
Anyone know why this might be? Thank you!

Just to be clear, are you trying to set you tab stop at the 5 inch mark? What is your left margin setting? I believe the tab setting is the distance from the left margin, not the actual point along the paper width. Since you said in an earlier post that you are working on a booklet, I thought perhaps your left margin + 5 may be exceeding the allowable width inside your margins.

For the update to run Aperture must be installed in the system Application folder and named simply Aperture, not Aperture3.2.2 or anything else.
I don't know if this would also affect photo stream but if your Aperture is misnamed or installed in an incorrect location fixing that to see if it clears up the problem would be a good first step.

Moving this discussion to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
Stephylei you will want to download the Mac versions of the installation files. If you purchased the software from Adobe, and choose the download option at the time of purchase, then the download will be available under your account. You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

Apcupsd won't work

Hi there!
Looks like there are another two similar problems https://bbs.archlinux.org/search.php?se … =911284806 with the same hardware: 0665:5161 Cypress Semiconductor USB to Serial
Me myself am trying to configure apcupsd.
I'm trying to use UPS with apcupsd for my home server. I've installed apcupsd and successfully run it. But after:
# apcaccess status
I get
Error contacting apcupsd @ localhost:3551: Connection refused
I've searched the google and try to change NISP port in /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf NISPORT 3551 into NISPORT 3552 but this didn't help it at all. Also I already have NISP 0.0.0.0 which was fix for some other users with the same message I get after running apcaccess status.

So I went to visit: http://www.apcupsd.com/manual/manual.html and I've noticed something in section: http://www.apcupsd.com/manual/manual.ht … usb-issues
Problem
Mandrake 10.0 and 10.1 systems with high security mode enabled (running kernel-secure kernel) use static device nodes but still assign USB minor numbers dynamically. This is evidenced by hiddev0: USB HID v1.10 Device [...] instead of hiddev96: ... in dmesg log.
Workaround
Boot standard kernel instead of kernel-secure or disable CONFIG_USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS and rebuild kernel-secure.
In my dmesg I also have hiddev0. And suggestion is to boot standard kernel instead of kernel-secure. I haven't compile any fancy servers. Just installed archlinux and use it. How do I boot standard kernel? Or does this imply to the section in /boot/grub/menu.lst
normal, standard kernel?
initrd /kernel26.img
Fallback (safe one?)
initrd /kernel26-fallback.img
Server boots into initrd /kernel26.img one. With options: kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/87761037-91a4-43e8-870d-137f6f453bc6 ro
And second question. How to disable CONFIG_USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS and rebuild kernel-secure (and also what is kernel-secure?)

Yes, it is only compatible with OS X Tiger and above (as stated in system requirements).
It doesn't appear you can use it 'natively' with iTunes, but, someone has posted some third party programs you could use in this topic:

After update to iOS 7.1, iPhone 4 won't work. Stuck in recovery mode. Won't restore.

Hello,
So I'm pretty baffled at this point. Last night I started downloading the iOS 7.1 update as my iPhone 4 was plugged into iTunes. The update did not complete on my phone. Instead, the dreaded "Connect to iTunes" logo appeared. After researching last night and again this morning, I have not found a solution.
When I plug my phone into iTunes, this message appears: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." Then, I have the option to restore iPhone.
So, having come to terms that I will lose all data - luckily my photos and videos have all been uploaded to my computer - I began restoring it. As it's downloading, this message then appears:
I've read through the "More Information" page several times. Checked my host file, added the "# " in front of the gs.apple.com IP address, restarted the computer, and still no luck. I haven't tried updating or restoring on another computer yet, but I have a feeling that won't change anything - I've read other people's accounts and that step just didn't work.
I updated my iTunes to the lastest version and restarted. Nothing.
I downloaded tinyumbrella and RecBoot to try and exit the apparent recovery mode. This didn't work. I have tried numerous times restarting the phone (holding down the home button and power button) with different variations of unplugging the USB from my laptop, letting go of the home button when the Apple logo appears, holding down the + volume button along with the power button, etc.
Does anyone know what I should do? Would calling Apple help? Or would going in person to an Apple store be better? Would they replace my phone? I don't see how this can be resolved unless the Geniuses have a universal restart method that bypasses everything. I need my phone for work and would be okay with just restoring the phone. Note: My phone has not been jailbroken.
Really hope someone can help. I would greatly appreciate it...
Thank you!

The fact that gs.apple.com was in your host file to begin with is an indicator that your computer was used to jailbreak or hack an iOS device at some point in the past. You can not get help here for a hacked or jailbroken device. If your phone was hacked or jailbroken, Apple won't touch it.
RecBoot and Tinyumbrella are hacking tools.
Google "iPhone DFU mode".
Try restoring in DFU mode. If that doesn't fix it, make an appointment at the genius bar and see what Apple has to say about it.

TS3212 when installing iTunes on my new laptop a message box appears saying some sort of error has occured and i have to uninstall it then reinstall it again and it still won't work what should i do?

when installing iTunes on my new laptop a message box appears saying some sort of error has occured and i have to uninstall it then reinstall it again and it still won't work what should i do?

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

My numpad won't work. Instead of numbers, my cursor just moves slightly.
