Only getting context menus- can't select an item?

I spilled some tea on my Macbook Pro key board- cleaned it up and dried it out. Now whenever I try to select an item (mac mail, numbers, finder) only get a context menu.  Can't select an item or type.  Mac mail can only look at one of my mail boxes can select and open an email but can't reply because never reach body of email because of menu opening for that item.
Sorry, if not clear enough with descriptions- any help would be great.
Thank you!

It sounds as if you've encountered hardware damage due to your liquid spill. The only thing that you can do at this point is to take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the extent of the damage and give you an estimate for repair.
Good luck,
Clinton

  • Can I select multi items in slicer by touch operation in Power View sheet ?

    Can I select multi items in slicer by touch operation in Power View sheet ?
    I want to making presentation Power View charts by touch operation.
    Mouse and Keyboard operation can select multi items in slicer by CTRL+click.
    How can I do by touch-screen ?
    Regards,

    In HTML5 version, you can click on the multi select button in the chart/slicer and this will allow you to select/deselect multiple items by simply clicking/touching it without CTRL+click. You can see this in action here

  • How can I select an item from a list component with a seperate button

    This is a repost, I decided it'd probably be better here than
    in the general discussion board. I will try to delete the other
    one.
    Hello Everyone,
    This is my first post here. I am trying to figure out how to
    select an item within a list component with a button. This button
    is calling a function. I have searched for the past 3 hours online
    and I can't find anything about it. I thought perhaps I could set
    the selectedItem parameter, but that is read only, and I believe it
    returns an object reference rather than something like a number so
    even if i could set it, it would be pointless. I also found a get
    focus button, thought that may lead me somewhere, but I think that
    is for setting which component has focus currently as far as typing
    in and things like that. I am lost.
    Basically I am looking for a way to type this
    myList.setSelected(5); where 5 is the 5th item in the list.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Never mind found it. It is the property called selectedIndex
    and it is writable

  • I just started up with my IPod, I download music to my library and I accidently changed the artists name in an entire category.  I can't figure out how to undo it. I read the edit help stuff but I can't select the item I need to edit

    I just started using my IPod and I downloaded my library.  I accidently changed the artist names for an entire genre category and I can't undo it.  I read all the edit help stuff and I either can't select items to edit or I'm an idiot and I can't figure it out.  I keep trying and I get a pop up that asks me if I want to change multiple items.

    Did you ever resolve the iCloud problem.I am in the same position and its driving me mad!!! If you have a link to an solution I would appreciate it.

    Good day,
    I am having an issue with a G4 Quicksilver workstation at my office that is running OS 10.4.10. it seems that i can not use my mouse to select any items on my desktop. i can tab through all of the items, and my mouse is able to work the menus fine, but i cannot open or even select anything that is on the desktop, including my dock. has anyone else ever heard of such a problem, and if so, is there a simple fix for it?
    thanks in advance,

  • HT3819 can you select the items you don't want your family to be able to see?

    I want to get some of my dad's songs he has on his ipod without buying them so i was going to try using the home sharing but i dont want to share all of my songs. Before i turn home sharing on i would like to know if i can select the items i want and don't want my family to be able to see

    I really do appreciate everyone's input to my question. I guess what I wanted to do, and how it can be done aren't as simple as I had hoped. But I know what will work now. Thank you again and have a nice holiday season.

  • Using BT Keyboard (A1314) - Can't Select Multiple Items

    Recently bought Mini and separately purchased a BT KB. When I use the command key to select multiple items, I can't. Whichever item I click on while holding the command button, it just selects that item, not the group.
    Also when holding down the 'shift' key, I cannot select items in sequence. I have looked in prefs, but nothing having to do with this issue.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Try resetting the PRAM.

  • One of my friends is getting an error "Can not buy this item. You must buy the application to which this item is intended to buy the item" when they try to make an In app Purchase

    More Details: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/cannot_download_camera_pac k_inside_photoshop_app
    My friend is trying to purchase an IAP on Adobe Photoshop Express, however they get an error saying "Can not buy this item. You must buy the application to which this item is intended to buy the item" when they try to make an In app Purchase". Everything other app is working fine.
    Any thoughts/suggestion to make this error go away?

    I suggest trying the update again after an hour or two.  Sometimes, the notice that an update is available comes an hour or two before the developers actually sends the revised app out to be downloaded.

  • Can't select multiple items with shift key os 10.7

    I can use command A to select all, and I can select multiple items with command and individually clicking each one, but not using Shift and clicking on the first and last items.  Any ideas?

    You need to display the window in column or list view. Shift-clicking items won't do that in icon view.

  • Acrobat Pro: Can't select an item

    Hello,
    I'm new to editing PDFs and I'm unable to select an item unless I click-and-drag a box around it. This wouldn't normally be a big problem, but the item I want to remove is below some text elements and vector drawings. I'm trying to remove the black rectangle shown in this short movie clip:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_Un6QjGqME
    I'm guessing that I am just using the wrong tool, but I don't know for sure. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I go it fixed.  Okay here's what you do.
    Open PDF in Acrobat.
    choose from Tools Edit Text and Images
    Next select everything in the Illustration that's in the Black area including the Black area.
    next hold down control key and click on edit in....
    If you have Illustrator choose.
    Now click on black area careful not to select anything else.
    Hit delete. The black will disappear leaving the rest.
    Save (not save as).
    Quit Illustrator.
    Now look to see if black area is Gone. If so save Pdf.
    here is my fixed version:https://www.dropbox.com/s/jzw2z7ltxh8qiri/exampleb.pdf

  • The minimize, maximize and close buttons don't work, and I can't select any items in drop-down menus.

    Running Firefox 23.01 on Windows, and two days ago I lost the ability to maximize, minimize or close windows via the buttons in the upper righthand corner. I also am unable to select a choice in dropdown menus, and for good measure I cannot x out of the About window that popped up went I wanted to check my version number!
    I've looked in the support forum and seen that this is not an uncommon problem. However, I have tried every suggested solution I could find - reset Firefox several times, turned off hardware acceleration, opened in safe mode and finally uninstalled and reinstalled the program (deleting the old program folders before reinstalling as recommended - and nothing has worked.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

  • Why do I keep getting context menus when I click with one finger?

    I have a late 2010 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion 10.8.1.
    I have set my integral trackpad up so that to secondary click, (aka right click), I click with two fingers.
    So why do I sometimes get a context menu appear when I click with just one finger? It gets really annoying at times.

    I have the same problem on my mid-2009 MBP. This after reinstalling OS 10.8.3 to fix a bunch of problems. One thing I have found is that I need to keep my other hand and fingers away from the trackpad (obviously!), but also away from the case. So, I cannot hold the MBP or rest my wrist on it if I expect the one finger click to work.
    My guess is that it is some kind of "grounding". But the case is aluminum, no? So, maybe it is body heat or a weird psychic aura (do-do do-do).

  • Maps in OVI Suite - can't select multiple items

    In Maps Updater you can or could select all the countries & provinces you wanted then start the download and come back later when it had finished. Using Maps in OVI Suite, you have to select and download each item one-by-one. I download a couple of entire countries plus about 8 individual French provinces. It's a real pain to have to keep coming back to see if one item has finished so you can select the next, especially since after each French province finishes the selection always jumps back to 'Albania' and I have to navigate back to France again. Sorry, even if you are on commission from the Albanian tourist authority, I have no plans to visit Albania for the time being!
    Seriously though, is it so hard to retain the tick boxes to select all the maps and voices you want before you kick of the downloads, so you don't have to spend an hour watching progress bar and can do something more useful with your time? I just find the functional redesign baffling.
    Next time I'll go back to using Maps Updater, and hope this isn't going to be entirely superseded by OVI Suite, at least until it has the multiple-choice tick-boxes!

    Ovi is rubbish, all Nokia have done so far is bloat it more and more.
    I don't remember how it was when I got my phone originally but I think I could just select the maps I wanted and that was it.
    In this latest "update" you have to go in one by one. But my favourite is when Ovi tells you there are updated maps available and asks if you'd like to get them. You say - sure, that's nice, and it goes off and freezes your system for hours.
    Several hours later you decide enough is enough and kill the Ovi process and then you find out that it didn't just start updating your maps, it decided you should have maps of the entire world! That's right, even though I only had europe on my phone it installed maps of Australia, New Zealand, North America... ffs!
    Then the painful "delete all" since you can't just delete the maps you don't need, and then download them one by one.. Oh joy.
    My next phone definitely won't be a Nokia.

  • How do you get the value of a selected list item?

    I have a drop-down list that the user can choose from. How do I get the value of what they selected? I thought I could do this by using the NAME_IN function, but I'm getting FRM-40105 Unable to resolve reference to item X. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    You can use an WHEN-LIST-CHANGED trigger, attached to the list-item itself. And, in this trigger, you can use the name of the item to refer its value.
    For example:
    :block_name.list_item_name

  • What is the best way to get the UID of any selected page item (frames, rectangle etc)?

    I need UID of any selected item on page and also array of UID's in case multiple selection happens. How can I achieve it?
    One way I know is to write an observer and attach it on every new page Item created, but that way the system might become slow and also
    the behavior will be unpredictable in case of multiple selections.
    Can some one suggest a better way to do it?

    The selection subsystem hides most ideas of direct adressing (e.g. UID of page item(s) or story) into the concrete selection, while from the outside you only work on the suite interfaces of the abstract selection. So you don't ask whether the selection is some kind of page item and you don't peek at the actual items. Instead you ask about their capabilities and applied values.
    Attaching observers to page items has nothing to do with the selection, because they only notify about changes on those page items - which could also be caused by scripts or anything else. Even then, the most relevant changes go thru the kDocBoss as single point to attach an observer, rather than thru all those page items.
    Regarding speed - the selection has many optimizations, for example "lazy" notifications can be deferred until they become appropriate for an UI update, they might even become aggregated / optimized away.
    One starting point into the selection when you come from nowhere would be ISelectionUtils. Your selection observer might also pass interesting parameters.
