Option key not functioning correctly since 10.6.8

Since I upgraded to 10.6.8, my keyboard (first sllim version, extended) option key has not been functioning correctly or at all.
Here are just a few problems associated with it:
8 I can no longer make a bullet (option 8) as you see here
8 I can no longer shut down my computer using command option control eject. It restarts instead now.
8 I can no longer perform various keyboard shortcuts in Adobe CS5 apps that require using the option key.
How do I fix this?

Either Pantone scheduler or Quicken 2007 caused the problem during login. Removal of these items (and an old version of Salling Clicker) fixed the problem.

Option Key Not Working Correctly

Hi All,
I'm having a very strange issue with my Option Key all of a sudden. It has stopped functioning as an Option Key and will ONLY increase the volume setting. When I bring up the keyboard viewer the Option Key won't register, it just turns up the volume. I've repaired permissions from my install disk and restarted a few times, but it didn't help. It's a VERY annoying problem, and I'd really appreciate any help at all. Thanks.

Thanks for the response, eww.
I was beginning to think it was a hardware issue, too. BUT, I turned my laptop off last night (instead of putting it to sleep like usual) and now this morning the Option key is working fine again. Seems very odd to me, since I restarted my computer a few times last night and the problem was still there. Perhaps it's heat related?
I'm just wondering now if it's a sign of more troubles to come or just a bizarre random occurrence.
Thanks a again.

Option key not working correctly - Photoshop ignores it sometimes ...

I've tried reset keyboard shortcuts to defaults, a different keyboard, system preferences related to the keyboard, trashing Photoshop preferences, etc.
Basically I'm stuck as my option key works for at least 2 key combinations : opt-cmd-s for Save As ... and opt-cmd-h for Hide Photoshop. It does not, however, work for the zoom tool (zoom out vs. in) or the gray sliders in the blending style dialog box.
Any ideas ? I'm desperate to get Photoshop back to normal ...
Thanks,

Playlist not functioning correctly since 7.0.3

Since upgrading to 7.0.3 I must choose the second song on the Playlist for the music to start from the beginning. I don't know if it is an operating system bug or an iTunes problem.
After the upgrade, most of my songs were no longer on the list. I had to input them manually again.

Equium A300D Multimemedia keys not functioning correctly..

Basically, i've had the laptop for around 4 months and for a while, the touch sensitive multimedia buttons at the top of the keyboard lost their illumination, and whenever i tried to press the one that was supposed to illuminate them, it just muted my volume :S
Now, they are again illuminated, (did it itself when i rebooted once) but the illumination key still mutes and the ('Fn'+F number) function keys no longer seem to work; e.g. the - de-activate mousepad command on FN+F9 and the light command on FN+F2.
anyone got any solutions?
if i have to re-install drivers can someone tell me what one i should be looking for, because there doesn't seem to be a "multimedia keys" one.

Install the Toshiba Value Added Package and then it should work.
I have found the VAP on the Toshiba driver page:

If it doesnt work after the installation, try to reinstall Windows with the Recovery Disk. There are all drivers include.

Htmldb_item.date_popup not functioning correctly since 3.1 upgrade

If I pick a date from the 6th row (for example) in the table, it is putting the date in the 1st row. The upgrade has broken production code. What can I do to workaround it? Thank you.
Here is my query:
select gl_rpt_item_id, description, act_flag, htmldb_item.hidden(1, gl_rpt_item_id) as item_id,
htmldb_item.date_popup(6,rownum, decode(client.get_gl_date(:f102_client_centric_id, gl_rpt_item_id),'NULL','',to_char(client.get_gl_date(:f102_client_centric_id, gl_rpt_item_id))),'DD-MON-YYYY',11,11,decode(act_flag,'I','"DISABLED"'))
new_gl_dt
from gl_rpt_item where is_clinical = 'Y' and act_flag <> 'I'

Hello,
We are working for a generic fix for the patch set, but you can fix this right now by adding an id parameter to your call to htmldb_item.date_popup / APEX_ITEM.DATE_POPUP
Though it's not in the documentation , an oversight that will be fixed, you can generate an id that overrides the APEX generated id. It is the next parameter after the attributes parameter.
So you immediate fix is to change your query like this,
select gl_rpt_item_id, description, act_flag, htmldb_item.hidden(1, gl_rpt_item_id) as item_id,
htmldb_item.date_popup(6,rownum,date_value,'DD-MON-YYYY',11,11,decode(act_flag,'I','"DISABLED"'),'datepicker_'||rownum)
new_gl_dt
from gl_rpt_item where is_clinical = 'Y' and act_flag <> 'I' Notice the call to the popup has 'datepicker_'||rownum added, this will set id for the date picker and it will now be set to datepicker_1 , datepicker_2 and so forth
Regards,
Carl
I took the decode out so you could see the id change easier.

I believe my firefox is viewing some websites on my laptop in formats that are used for cellular devices. Sites like facebook, sports illustrated, yahoo are not functioning correctly but certain sites work fine.

sits such as facebook, yahoo, and sports illustrated do not function correctly on firefox but they do on my internet explorer. I believes its somehow set itself into the same format used for cellular devices... My JSU.edu page says somethin about it being in (portal mode). It is also a different format now that normal.

Hi @TheBigGiggle ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP ENVY TouchSmart 17 Notebook PC and a keys not functioning correctly. Here is a document on cleaning the keyboard.
I would start with air on the keys as sometimes debris can cause this issue.
Here is a link to uninstall the keyboard. In the device manager have you uninstall all that is listed in keyboards, restart the computer after uninstalling, it should reinstall automatically and resolve any issues with the keyboard.
Here is a link to keyboard troubleshooting.
Here is a fix from Microsoft that might help.
Let me know how this goes.

Enter key not functioning pls i need to resume back,enter key not function another option pls hp mini laptop.

Hello Damyanology,
If your enter key is not working but you have to use it, you can bring up the on screen keyboard, and that will allow you to use enter.
Here is a link to open the on screen keyboard.
Go into device manager and uninstall the keyboard and restart the computer. This should reinstall the driver to correct the problem.
Here is a link to uninstall in device manager.
Let me know if this helps.

"ChnCFCFiltCalc" in Crash option not functioning correctly

It appears that the "EndPoints" option for the "ChnCFCFiltCalc" command is not functioning correctly. It does not seem to be reflecting the points to pad the data at the beginning and end of the signal. This is based on the results of filtering done with and without the option activated. Not activating the option appears to reflect the data and you get the results you would expect to see with the option activated. Activating the option give you results you would expect to see without the option activated.
I am using Version 8.0.981
This was functioning correctly in previous versions. Can you tell me when the "EndPoints" option stopped functioning correctly? I assume it was with Version 8.0. Is it correc
ted in Version 8.1?

Hi,
The parameter "CFCPREEVENTTYPE" is an enumeration variable with the selection "EndPoints" or "ZeroMagnitude" and not is optional.
Every mathematical function in DIAdem represents their parameters in global variables - eg. "CFCPREEVENTTYPE" as one parameter of the function "ChnCFCFiltCalc".
If you now call a function in a VBScript you have two possibilities
a) call the function with parameters like ChnCFCFiltCalc(X, Y, E, CFCFiltType, 0,"EndPoints")
b) call the function without parameters like ChnCFCFiltCalc
In case b) DIAdem will use the current content of the global parameter variable.
Maybe that this is you problem.
Kind regards
Walter

N96 Telephone Service Not Functioning Correctly

Good evening folks,
Now, I've had this problem for as long as I've had an N96. TWO N96's in fact, as my first was replaced by Nokia due to the screen-slide connection malfunctioning. Both have been fully firmware updated and restored on multiple occasions in an attempt to fix the problem.
The telephone service on the handset has the habit of not functioning correctly, like the service has hanged or just doesn't respond.
For example, I find a contacts name in contacts, press the green key to show their contact numbers, and green again on the number I wish to call- nothing happens, other than the available numbers disappear and you return to the regular contacts view. This is what would normally happen anyway, only you'd have an outgoing call happening over it and showing the "telephone" screen.
Or, example two, in a text message I chose Options > Call > Voice Call and press the select or middle button to initiate the call- No call, instead the options dialogue disappears and I return to the standard message view. Again, I should be in an outgoing call, not viewing my text message.
Example three, to really show the telephone service isn't working;
I'm in full signal, text messages are functioning correctly and the mobile web is working flawlessly. A friend sat next to me rings me and is immediately directed to my voicemail, not a single indication from the handset that I may have been receiving a call.
Seconds later I receive a text message from my operator to let me know about a new voicemail my friend just left me.
So, the telephone service isn't functioning as it should be.
A quick restart fixes the problem in 4 out of 5 cases, however usually within 24 hours the problem is persisting again.
Not being able to make outgoing calls isn't a problem, because at least then I know the telephone service has failed on me and I can restart.
A potentially important incoming call about anything being directed immediately to my voicemail? Problematic, especially if they don't leave a message and instead just keep trying me, as I receive no notification from my operator about missed calls and there is no way other than to try and make an outgoing call as to determine whether the service is still functioning.
It isn't shown as a regular application whilst not in a call and I don't believe I should even have to check if it's still running as this function is the main function implied in the device category 'smartphone'.
Rant over, so if there's anyone out there who could shed some light onto this situation, please do.
Also, kind of off topic- but in the case that this is a universal problem (which I'm assuming it is, having had two completely different handsets with the same symptoms), do I go after Nokia to provide me with a different model of handset, or the supplier (The Carphone Warehouse) since my handset isn't properly providing a function that is advertised?
Somehow I presume I'm rightfully entitled to a reimbursement or different model. Hopefully.
Thanks in advance people

You're so right.... I managed to get over the problems, never upgraded the firmware... Once I got all the apps I use and needed, never touched it.... Still the phone is a mess, worst ever... I came from an Iphone, fleeing from lock OS and stuff, and found myself in a Symbian hell..... Definitely Windows Mobile... I'm so down on this phone, I spent 650 dollars, one year ago.... The worst investment ever... Never again a Nokia or a Symbian smartphone, for cheap ones apparently are the best. I'll wait another year, to feel less pain when buying a new one for 600-1000 dollars.
Solution: Buy another phone... Better if it is a Windows Mobile.... As HTC for example.

Touchpad not functioning correctly

I have an Envy 17,(Windows 7) and the touch pad is not functioning correctly. I have had it do similar things in the past but they seemed to fix themselves after a few minutes, but this time it just keeps messing up. I CAN click on programs to open them but once in a program, I cannot click on anything. I CAN click on links when online, but they always open in a new tab and when I attempt to click on a new tab, the tab completely closes out. Once a program is opened, I cannot close/minimize/maximize it using the touchpad, nor can I access File/Edit/other menu options. I also cannot click in a typing field. (I'm using a different computer to do this post)I can barely move the curser around. It jumps or freezes up. I move it up about an inch and as soon as I take my finger off the touchpad the curser goes back to where it originally was. I've tried restarting the computer but that hasn't worked. I've attempted tried some other things as well, but since I cannot click on anything with the touchpad and can barely move the curser, I am at a loss for what to even try. Everything was working fine this morning. I literally got up from the computer, made breakfast and sat back down and it was all glitched up. No one had touched it... I had not recently downloaded anything nor have I made any updates to the computer. Thank you, Neyephe

Hello there, It sounds like there is a hardware issue with your touchpad, which you need to replace. As stated in the warranty, the touchpad may only be replaced by an Authorized Service Provider. If you cannot find any places that are authorized, you may contact the HP Support Center via phone and arrange a date for your touchpad to be replaced. In the meantime, you can buy a USB mouse to navigate your laptop. Best wishes getting your issue fixed! Best Regards,Shawn

CUC Cluster not functioning correctly

Saw a few posts and documents relating to this issue but they don't match up perfectly with my particular scenario. Basically, the customer could no longer log into the Unity Pub so we had to do a rebuild as nothing was working. The sub took over as it should, a co-worker rebuilt their Pub and the split-brained effect never went away. In, fact they arn't communicating at all almost a week later. Here are the things I've checked so far:

Overall, they are in that split-brained mode and working with CUCM but I'm not sure why it hasn't corrected itself. Both the pub and sub have been restarted to no effect.... Any ideas on why this is still happening? I am in the process of pulling logs.
Error shown by CUC at the Admin page after login:
  Communication is not functioning correctly between the servers in the Cisco Unity Connection cluster. To review server status for the cluster, go to the Tools > Cluster Management page of Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability.

Check NTP. Ensure Unity is synced to a stable good stratum source - preferably stratum 1,2 or 3.
On your version, time slips can cause memory leaks on servm. This in turn affects cluster communication.
You said you couldn't access Pub. Pub would have been on high CPU. Another symptom of this issue.
You can confirm by looking at the core dumps - 'utils core active list'
See if there are any servm core dumps. Most likely the server is affected by CSCug53756 / CSCud58000

I've left it to dry for a few days but still will not work. Computer now in Safe boot mode and I can't login due to all caps and numbers being symbols. Is there anything I can do?

That seems to be OK via WLAN!
It ist better to do the first backup via LAN-cable.
