On occasion the space bar will "click", but there will be nospace between the two words

At times and only occasionally when I press the space bar it does not perform the spacing between the two words.

As you probably know, the key is 'seen' by the computer when the two contacts touch. In the case of a key not working or working intermittently, there could be dust, dirt or cookie crumbs between the contacts. With the computer turned off, unplugged and the battery removed, carefully flip the computer upside down and give it a shake and be amazed at the amount of stuff that comes out of the keyboard. Try using a small vacuum cleaner on the keys. Try it again. If that did not fix the problem, you may need to get the keyboard replaced. As a temporary fix, consider using a USB external keyboard until you get the built-in one replaced.

  • Now that the "Status Bar" is gone, is there a way to hide the "status notification" (bottom left corner) when a page loads? This is on Windows & FF5/6

    The so called "Status Bar" has apparently gone away since FF4, I'm now onto 6 I think, on my work machine. But one of the things I liked about the Status Bar was that it could be hidden entirely.
    With no Status Bar, now when a page is loaded in FF, you get a floating "Status Notification" in the bottom left corner for a second or two while the page is loading (this even happens in FullScreen F11, something I never had to deal with when the Status Bar existed).
    What I want to know is, is there a way to turn off this "Status Notification" entirely? A setting somewhere? Something in About:config? I haven't been able to find anything.

    1. Install the addon Status 4 evar, which puts the status text back in the status bar: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
    2. Hide the status bar by right clicking the refresh button and unchecking "Addon bar"

  • Get message "loaded with errors on the target and was closed" but there are no errors in the vi.

    Hi,
    Attached image shows the error message which i receive when I try to run my vi. "vi loaded with errors on the target and was closed" 
    The vi has no errors as far as I can see and hasn't changed since I ran it a few days ago and it functioned fine. other vi's in the project run without any issue.
    Any guidance to find the issue would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Some tips:
    1. Try to recompile the VI which is "loaded broken" (ctrl+click on Run arrow). Deploy.
    2. Try to recompile this VI and its dependencies (ctrl+shift+click on Run arrow). Deploy.
    3. Try to recompile top-level VI and its dependencies. Deploy.
    4. Change something in "loaded broken" VI (add some code, like reversing array back and forth, just to make LV recompile it). Deploy.
    5. Close the project. Restart RIO. Open project. Deploy.
    6. Close LabVIEW. Restart computer. Restart RIO. Open project. Deploy.
    7. Take another computer. Deploy from it.
    8. Close project. Clear compiled object cache (menu Tools -> Advanced -> Clear compiled object cache...). Open project. Wait until LV will open/recompile it. Deploy.
    9. Do as 7, but in the meantime reformat RIO from MAX. Open project. Deploy.
    10. Contact NI Support. Send them your project. Make them Deploy it.
    The fun starts when you have project which deploys for 30 minutes... Usually I skip straight to step 8 then, and usually it helps.

  • The space bar is no longer working to play/pause, after the latest update to iTunes.

  • I just hooked up my computer to the tv to stream dvdd but there sound is coming from the computer not the tv. How do I fix this?

    I just hooked up my computuer to the tv to stream dvds, I get the visual on the tv but the sound comes from the computer. How can I fix this?

    Don't know, how did you hook it up (what kind of cable)? You can send audio through an HDMI connection provided a MacBook Pro is (I believe) from 2009 or newer.
    Converting to VGA or DVI will not send audio - if you're using that kind of connection, you'll need to add an audio cable from the headphones port.
    Also check the Sound Out setting in the Sounds panel of System Preferences.

  • I have a macbook pro and two monitors connected via matrox dualhead2go. The display is fine, but there is a lag with the mouse cursor. Matrox technical do not seem to have the answer, anyone else?

    As in the question, everything works fine, but there is a lag with the mouse pointer, latency issue. I have seen on other forums this has been an issue, but with different solutions, and some with no solutions. Matrox technical team have no solutions for me unfortunately, so any similar user experiences would be good.

    I have the same issue....
    Is there any solution ?

  • Netflix and Youtube will not play on Firefox but I can still hear sound and can pause with the space bar. Works fine on Internet Explorer.

    All of a sudden last night after Firefox restarted after an update I am no longer able to play Netflix or Youtube. I can hear the sounds from whatever I select to play but the browser is black and I can even pause using the space bar but no interaction with the cursor. Both Netflix and Youtube work fine on Internet Explorer... I tried updating plug ins, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling plug ins and I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox itself but nothing has helped. Not sure what steps to take next...

    Hello,
    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.

  • I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function works

    I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function, render workspace function, export file are still operational. How can I fix it so I may complete my assignment?
    Besides DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Creative Suite 6 is the only software on the machine. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Operating System on AMD FX 6100 six-Core Processor at 3.31gHz and 32 GB RAM memory. There are two SLI-bridged GTX680 NVidia cards.
    The software was very stable for the last six months, working with 720P proxy files from 2.5K masters (Blackmagic Design Camera). I am working on a feature-length project that exceeds 1000 edits. I have broken the file into 2 one hour segments.
    I have deactivated the software before reinstalling the entire OS from scratch. PP6 was very stable for 48 hours. Then the freezing space bar returns. After a dozen strokes into the project, same problem.  I have made cache files store next to originals, I have deleted preview files if they were corrupted and causing instability. Am I missing something?
    I have Microsoft Security Essentials for virus protection. I double checked the memory for damage/defect. Nothing says that the motherboard or other components are damaged.
    I am in film competition overseas and need to have deliverables in less than a month's time.  I lost the last two weeks troubleshooting and this crisis came at an inopportune moment of the project.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Still getting software freezes but found a way to mitigate for the mean time.
    Upon launching Adobe Premiere Pro, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to launch TaskManager as well.
    You will want to highlight Adobe QT32 Server.exe
    Right click and select "End Process Tree"
    You will get considerable stability in the program, long enough to get timing of cuts done. Be sure to save often.
    If the program freezes, do not hit Save. You definitely want to avoid saving the corruption into your TimeLine
    CTRL-ALT-DEL to relaunch the TaskManager and highlight Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
    Right-click to "End Process"
    No need to reboot the whole system; just launch Premiere Pro again and continue with the session. Note that your work reverted to Last Save.
    Hope this helps until the bug is fixed.

  • How can I make double clicking the space bar to make a period less sensitive

    Hi! When I double click the space bar, it makes a period, which I love. What drives me crazy is that it thinks I'm double clicking the space bar quite frequently, so it'll insert a period in the middle of the sentence. How can I make my space bar less sensitive? I know that I can turn off the period shortcut, but I would prefer to leave it on, just with a less sensitive keyboard setting. Help!

    It sounds like the space key is getting worn out. You may need to get the device exchanged under warranty if it's less than a year old.
