Nano "Enter" button acting weird and restarting

Hey -
So I've had my nano (4GB) for about 7 months now and its been great, but recently it's been restarting a lot randomly, that is, the screen goes black and the apple logo is shown before bringing me back to the main menu.
Yesterday after it restarted once, the enter button appeared to stop working, but I realized that it works on every function BUT entering the music menu. So for instance when it starts up I can go to Shuffle Songs, or play a game of solitaire, but if I go to click on the MUSIC menu, which would bring up the Artists, Songs, Albums, then the whole nano just restarts. It keeps doing it over and over and over. I have no idea what's wrong with it.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.

Sounds to me like you are having the same problem I had. I trouble shooted (trouble shot?) it and figured out that installing podcasts from the iTMS was causing the problem. This took me several instals, updates, etc. When I finally figured it out, I restored my nano with the latest update (at the time), kept the "drive" free of iTMS podcasts, and it has worked like a charm ever since.

OS 4.0: HOME button acting weird and inconsistently since updating

The new double click for multitasking is not working properly for me - sometimes I get the new multitasking bar; but most of the time I don't. Sometimes I'll get it with just one click, other times after clicking THREE times?!! Its so annoying. I'm on a 3G 32gb Touch and I updated with no problems at all; but everytime I double click the Home button I just get the search feature coming up instead - prior to updating I had the Home button set to get me there via a double click, but I've attempted to change that setting and I've noticed that the option to customise the Home button click function has been removed?!! Basically, multitasking is a lottery as far as my Home button is concerned, I have to keep trying different Home click combos to get it to appear and I'm regretting updating at all.
Please help!

Well that was a waste of time.

MacBookPro 15.4 keep freezing up with black dialog box to press power button until off and restart

MacBookPro15.4 less than a year old keep freezing/locking with black dialog box to press power button until off and restart THEN repeat successive times after restarting it?

If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents – the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.

Lumia 720: Power and camera button act weird

Hi,
My Nokia Lumia 720 is acting weird.
The camera button doesn't work and so does the power button.
However if I press the volume down and the power button simultaneously the button does work.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I've already brought the phone back to the default settings.
I'm running the latest developer preview if that matters.

Apps acting weird and doing actions against my will.

Hello I'm here to write about the latest issue I got on my iPhone 5c, while I was writing a message my app started acting weird. Successively I moved to another app and it did the same thing so I suppose it's a general problem.
Ex: while I write my iPhone clicks and opens other options on the page by itself.
While I scroll down on tumblr app it clicks other options by itself like unfollow, changes pages, as if I clicked those options but I didn't.
Like on whatsapp for instance, while I write it opens the user id, the user info, shuts the keyboard down as if I did it but I didn't at all.
Also now while I'm here writing this sometimes it acts as if I clicked on he top bar and opens the http:// of this page, but I didn't.
While I'm on drafts/notes app it does the same, I wrote a long message last night hoping it would help being that out of an app which needs connection but it happen again; while I was about to finish it clicked the delete button by itself and everything disappeared.
Also now again, I luckily copied this email line by line in order to prevent it from delete everything I wrote again.
I just need to know if there's something I can do or if I should just take it back to an apple store since it's still pretty new..

Even after the Mavericks Mac Mail update and showing my "All Mail" folder, Mail.app is still acting weird and slow. Any further suggestions?

Even with the recent Mac Mail Mavericks update and showing my "All Mail" Gmail folder, Mail.app is still acting funky and slow. Any further suggestions for getting Mail.app back to it's pre-Mavericks state?

Your description of the problem is rather vague, but I'll take a guess at what you mean.
Quit Mail if it's running. Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
sqlite3 L*/C*/*.mail/*/L*/*/*/C*.db vacuum; sqlite3 L*/M*/*/*/E*ex vacuum
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
You should see a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) appear below what you entered. If not, press return. You can then quit Terminal and relaunch Mail. Test.
Note: This procedure will have no effect unless you quit Mail when you begin.

Turns on when connected, acts weird and wont enter recovery m

?Ok, so everything was fine this morning then when I come back from town I want to charge my Zen (4GB flash) to find that when I connect it, it turns on but doesn't dock. The player just turns itself on, other times it will flash on and off. I thought this would have something to do with SP3 since all help with connection problems is with SP2 and someone said they have problems with their Zen and SP3 so I rolled back to SP2. No dice. I repair the software and re install and again no dice. Donc I try to reformat/rescue/recovery mode whatever and that doesnt work! Holding play while turning it on, while connecting etc etc and nothing. Please help I see no other way and I'm just after getting a new one 2 months ago when my old one burnt out.

Have you tried connecting it to a different computer? If not you should to see if the behavior is consistent.
The Zen is a USB device. Windows nati'vely contains a USB driver for generic USB devices. Windows will recognize the Zen as a USB device -- even if only as an "unknown" one -- without any additional software/drivers from the Creative CDROM. If Windows can't see the Zen then either your Windows USB driver is broken, your USB ports are broken, the Zen is broken or some combination of them are broken. If you have other USB devices on your computer that are detected and work properly then it is unlikely the generic USB driver is broken (or the USB port that device is using).
If the Zen is functioning properly there is no reason it shouldn't boot to its internal Recovery Mode menu after a reset. Have you ever entered Recovery Mode before? If not you should make sure you are following the proper procedure. The Zen will boot to the Recovery Mode menu even with the firmware deleted. It doesn't require any special drivers and doesn't involve Windows. If that doesn't work then, frankly, the Zen is probably broken (which would also explains why Windows can't see it).
The instructions you followed regarding reinstalling the Creative driver for the Zen is based upon the assumption the Zen player is functioning properly. If the Zen isn't working properly it really doesn't matter that you uninstalled it and/or can't reinstall it. It serves no purpose without a working player. If the Zen *is* working then Windows will notice it as new USB device when hardware is rescanned and go through the process of installing a driver.
I know you're getting frustrated, but if the player itself is malfunctioning then there is nothing in software that is going to fix it. That applies to all players. That is why the Recovery Mode menu test is important. The ability to gain access to that is a basic feature of a functioning player.

Applet Button acting weirdly...

Hello
I'm quite new at Java, and new to this forum, so don't be too hard;)
I've got a problem with a awt.button in an Applet. When i click on the button it seems to send two events, and thus executing twice the code. I would like it to execute only once the code.
I've tried changing the MouseListener from MouseClicked to MouseReleased, but doesn't seem to change anything. I've also tried to put a button.setEnabled(false) in the code executed, but still doesn't change anything.
This is weird to me, because i've also got an application version of the program and it doesn't have that problem.
Could you please help me...
Pierre
public class ScanAPPlet extends Applet {
JButton jButStart = new JButton();
jButStart.addMouseListener(new ScanAPPlet_jButStart_mouseAdapter(this));
void jButStart_mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
    String param = (String) jCCommand.getSelectedItem();
    Prog programme = new Prog(this, param);
    thread = new Thread(programme);
    thread.start();
class ScanAPPlet_jButStop_mouseAdapter extends java.awt.event.MouseAdapter {
ScanAPPlet adaptee;
ScanAPPlet_jButStop_mouseAdapter(ScanAPPlet adaptee) {
    this.adaptee = adaptee;
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
    adaptee.jButStop_mouseClicked(e);
}

Ok thanks for everything, i think i've found the problem!
For reference, it's a problem of Jbuilder, it changed the constructor of the Applet like this:
public ScanAPPlet() {
    try {
      Init();
    catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
}and then launches the applet with :
public static void main(String[] args) {
   ScanAPPlet applet = new ScanAPPlet();
   applet.isStandalone = true;
   Frame frame;
   frame = new Frame();
   frame.setTitle("Cadre de l'applet");
   frame.add(applet, BorderLayout.CENTER);
   applet.init();
   applet.start();
   frame.setSize(600,300);
   Dimension d = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
   frame.setLocation((d.width - frame.getSize().width) / 2, (d.height - frame.getSize().height) / 2);
   frame.setVisible(true);
}So in the end, there's the init() has been called twice. Probably making the problem. I deleted the changed constructor and it seems to be working.
But Thanks of lot for your help!!

Power button acting weird...

So, I don't know if its just me but in the past week or so (don't recall if this was happening before most recent updates), I've noticed that my power button doesn't do ANYthing while the computer's up and running. Didnt it used to prompt up for if I want to shut it down, sleep, etc? It still works to boot up the computer and to wake it from sleep and such, but when the compy's up, it doesn't work.
Thoughts, anyone?

A quick press of the power button on my MBP (on 10.5.6), while it's awake, still gives the Restart/Sleep/Shut Down dialog box.
Perhaps try a PRAM and/or SMC reset:

Keyboard Typing Acting Weird and Randomly

When I type something on the keyboard, it does weird commands.
*Especially when I push the Command, alt/option, control, fn button, it displays symbols on the screen* and what it does is open up printer settings, save as dialogs, etc.
maybe somehow when the Command, alt/option, control, fn button are pressed it activates a keyboard shortcut?
Is this a defect? or can i fix the settings?
I tried restoring default on basic function settings but hasn't worked.
For example, when I press "m" on the keyboard, it opens up finder. When I type I get weird characters.
Also what's strange is the cap lock button randomly flashes on and off without me doing anything(this is sometimes)

Hi,
It sounds like there's something wrong with your keyboard. Is there any possibility that you might have spilled some liquid onto it? One way to check to see if the problem is with your keyboard, and not with the operating system, is to temporarily connect an external USB keyboard to your computer. If everything works fine when using the external keyboard, then your Macbook Pro's keyboard is the cause of the problem. If you continue to have the same problem when using an external keyboard, then the cause is either your operating system or some other app or service that's intercepting and/or changing keystrokes.
Hope this helps,
Ken

[SOLVED] Makepkg makes qmake or make act weird and causes trouble

I am trying to build an Arch package from a Qt app. The app is split into some libraries that are compiled with the main application. Installation instruction for the whole app are defined in src.pro (see the hierarchy below), which are then written into the Makefiles that are generated on-the-fly during the build process. When I run 'qmake && make && make install' manually, everything goes fine. But when I try to build the package using a PKGBUILD, for some reason the Makefile generated based on the src.pro is missing installation instruction for the libraries (lib1, lib2, etc.).
I don't really have any idea of what is the problem. I tried to study the output of the make process and it seems like that when running makepkg, qmake first runs on each subdirectory to generate the Makefiles and only then begins the actual build process. Manually running make first builds one directory, then the second one and so on and only generates a Makefile when entering a directory. Since the libraries marked for installation do not exist in the beginning of the build process, they are not put into the Makefile at all, I think.
My first idea for a solution was to move the installation instructions into the libraries' own .pro files but that didn't seem to change anything. The build() process in the makepkg only runs qmake, make and make install - what I also do manually.
The directory structure of the project is like this:
project/
project.pro
src/
src.pro
lib1/
lib1.pro
lib2/
lib2.pro

After many hours I finally came up with a solution that was too easy... I only needed an "install.pri" file in which I added two lines:
target.path = /path/
INSTALLS += target
Next I just included that file into each lib's .pro file and now the makepkg process works. "target" is somewhat a magical variable for qmake.
I consider this solved.

I clicked on (enlarge page) Page stays large, coverin full page, no way to exit without holding off button on computer and restarting , restarting computer and restarting firefox, page still on large size render firefox unuseable , Please advise.

How do I go From Enlarged page, back to standard size page?

BGreg, thank you for your quick response.
After having my iMac unplugged for a couple hours until the case was completely cold to the touch, it booted normally. I downloaded Smart Utility, and upon opening the application, it told me that my hard drive was failing. I did the long test to get a better idea of the situation, and it changed my status to "passed." My iMac then promptly froze up again, beachball and all. -.-
It seems that if my computer has been running for long enough to get warm, it stops wanting to function. I'm pretty sure when I restart it (most likely forcibly, as it's been frozen for over 10 minutes now) I will have all the boot issues once again.
I tried again with the hardware test when I started the iMac up in order to run Smart Utility, and holding down D still does nothing (install disc 1 is still in the drive).
Is there any way to know 100% that it's definitely the hard drive and *only* the hard drive? I would hate to buy a new one and go through the stress of taking my iMac apart for the first time only to find out after that there's another piece of hardware needing attention. I obviously can't use the built in hardware test anymore. With my budget the way it is, I'll probably have to repair it myself, so any pointers on diagnosing the issue before I start amateur surgery will be very appreciated. I was hoping to build a pc from the ground up before I ever needed to learn how to replace parts on my beloved iMac, but it looks like the iMac will be my first patient afterall.

Mic button acting weird.

It seems sometime when I turn my phone on and insert my apple headphones, it wont pause or change songs using the mic button. If I unplug it and plug it back in, it starts working again. Im pretty sure this only happens when I first turn on the phone, but I could be mistaken. I think it happened a few times already. Anyone have this problem?

My friend and I are having the exact same problem. We took both of our phones to the store and was told to restore it, reboot it, try different headphones and all those things still did not resolve the problem. I helped the "mac genius" discover that it may be a glitch in the software because he tried it on his iPhone and his co-worker's phone and the same thing happened. Sometimes you plug it in and the mic clicker works and sometimes it doesn't. I would challenge others to try this out and see if the same occurs on their phone. The mic may work initially when you plug in the headphones, but if you take them out and plug them back in, they may not work. Let me know..

Ipt 1g home button acting weird (1 presss equals 2)

ok i have the ancient ipod touch 1g, and the home button has seemed to die on it, when you half press it in it works, and the button is really weak, so half way is easy pressed in by mistake, and when you press it with normal strength and push in all the way like normal, it comes up with the music menu, i know it isnt software b'cos the ipod casnt detect half presses and i have already just restored. i am willing to do anything to it now, i will probably open it up, but am not sure if there is some other easy fix, has anyone else had this problem? so again its when you press it, it regesters it as twice, sometimes 3 as the menu comes up then dissapears half a second later

If you attempt to repair on your own, do considerable research prior to doing it.
