Need help with an unusual keyboard issue

Weird issue. On my 13 in. MacBook (not Pro), sometimes my L, O, and 9 keys will stop working, until I press one of them in hard enough to register; that fixes the problem. But it intermittently returns.
Anyone have any experience with this? Advice?

Take it to Apple or an AASP.

Need help with Low disk space issue and blue screen

Hi Everyone, just seen a message stating a low disk space on my Mac pro bought last November and tried plugging in an external hard drive to remove some pictures to free up some space but it seems that the computer did not have enough space left to start up and run the hard drive. I then tried to restart and ended up with a blue screen and have no knowledge now how to fix this problem. I phoned support but they say I have no technical support left but do have warranty and I would need to either try with the community here or take the unit to an apple store for an appointment. The store is an 1 and 1/2 from me and I really want o see if there is another fix that could allow me to start again then remove some files and then add external drive to remove more. I was blown away at the low amount of storage.....looked for the icloud option last night to upload there as i was told about this by a UK client of mine and now see it is not up and running. Any advice or help by the communtiy would be greatly appreciated as this is my business and travelling laptop. Cheers, Dean <")))><

Great to hear Dean, thanks!
Further notes: OSX needs about 15% or 10GB Free space minimum, but will run mucch faster/safer with 30-40% or 50GB of Free Space... Free Space is no longer ours to use.
Another tool to help clear up assorted things is 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.

I need help with Photoshop CS4 reactivation issue

It may be more than just an activation issue. CS4 has always worked beautifully on my iMac until yesterday when it failed to launch. I tried everything and finally deactivated it, reinstalled it and it still won't launch. I do not have Photoshop CS4 on any other computer. I've been all over the web and ran into many people with the same problem. Adobe won't help resolve CS4 issues so I'm stuck. HELP!!

Does launching it give you an error code?

Need help with an unusual workflow - Am I doing this right?

Thanks for reading, I shot my footage in HD 720pn on the HVX200. The final export needs to be fitted into a 352x288 frame 'uncompressed' which I will hand to my client who will convert to .wmv and .h264 for viewing on a PC and their video playback device (hence the odd 352x288 frame size).
So this is what I'm doing, I just need to know if I'm doing this right before I hand it to my client so I can avoid problems with formats ect.
-First I imported the footage from the P2 card and edited it in it's native format and timeline.
-Once finished, I export to its native format (QuickTime, Current Settings, self-contained). This creates a file size of 1.7GB.
-I create a new sequence at 352x288 with Uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2 as the codec (I just guessed here) and imported the self-contained video.
-I shrink the video to fit the smaller frame and then render and export again using the current settings (352x288 with Uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2 as the codec). Its now 4.4GB (Why is it bigger than the larger framed original file?)
The video looks great but I'm still worried about whether my client will be able to play it back via QuickTime on PC and I'd like the file size smaller so it's easier to deliver.
Any help to simplify or correct this workflow would be greatly appreciated.
LP

You don't need to go through the double export process. You can either place the edited and rendered 720p sequence in the 352x288 sequence and then export, or you can scale the image down on export in the QuickTime Conversion export module, or in Compressor. Any QuickTime can read uncompressed video.

Need help with T-43 keyboard mouse

I purchased a refurbished T-43 that came with a clean XP Pro install but none of the IBM downloads that came on my T-30. My problem is I can't de-activate the keyboard mouse from selecting links if when scrolling a program or website. If the cursor brushes a link, it is opened. In Control Panel / Mouse properties I have the CickLock "off" and under Keyboard, I do not show any IBM drivers or links, only "Standard 101/102 key or mocrosoft natural PS/2 keyboard".
If I recall, on my T-30 I enabled the device by using an IBM keyboard mouse link on control panel.
Any suggestions to what I should download to get my keyboard mouse to only respond to a left click to open a link?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

you need to unpack and install the driver from the above two links (to install the driver it is under c: -> swtools -> drivers folders look for UNAV and UNAVUTIL folders).
All your T43 relevant drivers are found here:

I need help with an email inbox issue

so basically I forgot my answers to my security questions, so I pressed "reset anwers....." And they said "email sent" but I waited to hours, days and didn't get that email! But I got an email from Apple about other stuff like opening iCloud and stuff, but I didnt get that email. And I did it like 100 times and turned off my phone, everything! And for paid apps it needs the answers to those questions and so does itunes. plz anyone help make my day?❤️❤️

If the email isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

Need help with Snow Leopard compatibility issue

We have a new iMac in (with Snow Leopard) and have loaded all our programs. Due to budgets, we have not made the jump to CS4 and are still on CS3 (waiting for 5). We work in an InDesign/InCopy workflow.
In launching InDesign on the MAc with Snow Leopard, we have noticed that the assignment folders are nonexistant and within the program you can't even open an assignment window. When you reopen on a system without Snow Leopard, the individual assignments are there, but the program states it can't find the main assignment, so it's cancelling out the assignments if opened on the Snow Leopard unit.
Does anyone have any info on compatibility issues with Indesign CS3 and Snow Leopard? My tech guy found nothing on this before we ordered the new system.

First things first. CS5 was announced today and preorders are being accepted.
I believe if you upgrade to CS4 you'll get a free copy of CS5. This is important because if you're upgrading a suite, tiered pricing makes CS3 to CS4 $200 less than waiting til CS5 comes out.
That out of the way, is everyone fully patched to CS3 5.0.4? Is Snow Leopard fully updated to 10.6.3? Do you have full read/write permission on the server?

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.

I need help with scrolling and keyboard buttons on windows 7

I've been able to install sound, bluetooth, and I'm able to do a right click.
But for some reason, I still *can't scroll* and *the buttons on the keyboard (i.e. the eject button*), still won't work.
There are two trackpad drivers on the snow leopard dvd. One is called multitouch and one just called *track pad*. Which one of those should I install?

Hi nayefo,
Try installing multitouch, and then see, while in windows, if you've successfully installed multitouch and multitouch mouse, you should have those drivers. Also check if you've installed trackpad and trackpad enabler.
Cheers,
Erik

Need help with ios 8 icloud issue

I just updated to iOS 8 and want to utilize family sharing with my kids. Previously I had to logon to their devices with my own apple ID in order to share content. I want to give them their own ID's and utilize the "authorize to buy" option, but when I created and signed into my daughter's phone with her new apple ID, iCloud keeps my ID and password associated with the device and allows her to approve her own purchases. How do I disassociate her icloud with my account and input hers on her phone without a full factory reset? I have already signed out of the itunes and app store on the phone and signed back in as her. I have done the same for imessage and facetime, yet under icloud it still shows my account and will not allow me to make changes there.

Where did you sign her new Apple ID on? Did you delete your iCloud account? Settings>iCloud, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and tap on Sign Out. Type in your password when asked, and follow the prompts to delete the account. Then sign on with her Apple/iCloud ID.
Cheers,
GB

Need help with BW Process chain issue

Hi Gurus,
I had made a copy of the existing process chain so that I can work on the changes. Its a metachain and I tried to copy a sub chain.
But at a later point of time, I have realized that the process chain had got into a nested loop in the meta chain, for the sub chain, I had copied. How do I rectify it?
Kindly suggest

hi,
use the bottom up approach.
Looking at the attached file it has many PCs.
Just note down all list of all PC and then do the copy of individual PCs, later you can copy the complete meta chain.
If you want give one more chance and try to copy meta chain again.
Thank-You.
Regards,
VB

Need help with taglib and javascript issue

I have created two WebSphere portlets (using WebSphere Application Studio), which exchange information by using click-to-action. I have added the click-to-action functionality programatically.
On my source portlet jsp page I took the java code which generates the click-to-action javascript and added it to a taglib I created. The problem is that now the click-to-action functionality doesn't work.
When I look at the source code in the browser the javascript and the onClick code is there as it should be, but when I click on the hyperlink, the click-to-action menu is not displayed.
If I take the java code out of the taglib and put it back into the jsp page it works no probs and on inspection of the generated code it is exactly the same as the code generated by the taglib version.
I have noticed that when I click the hyperlink to fire the onClick event I get an error message in the browser but when I go to the line number given in the error message, there is no code on that line.
Any ideas why it doesn't work when put in a taglib?
Thanks in advance,
A.

There can be a million reasons
1) What is the exact error line?
2) Try debugging in Mozilla instead of IE. Mozilla's javascript debugger is much better. In IE you may have to look more at the error message then the line it gives you to id where the error occurs.

I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in

I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in to work with Visio 2013?

For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).
