Pages Intermittently Not Accepting Keyboard Commands

Battery on keyboard is 100%. No problems with keyboard on any other programs. Pages software downloaded today. Can still issue mouse commands. Intermittently Pages will stop accepting the commands from the keyboard. I cannot type any letters/words, delete key, return key, nothing functions. Then after 10-20 seconds or so I can type again. Any clues as to what could be causing this?

I don't have the hardware to test this, but I recall reading that some people had problems (I think they had Apple's Magic Mouse) where they left a finger lightly touching the "trackpad" area of the mouse which the computer interpreted as initiating a drag operation that took the focus away from the keyboard until they lifted the finger.
If you are trying to type with one hand on your mouse, you might want to check that.

Another key command is normal.

Hi
If you are on a small keyboard (ie with no numbers pad) use FunctionShift Return
or If you are on a 'numbers keyboard', the Enter key is on the right next to the 3 key (and NOT the Return Key).

I have iOS7 on my iPhone4. I turned on the Voice Over option and now my phone is not working at all. At first it was freezing and not accepting any commands. Now all I have is a blank sceen. I can't get back into it. Any ideas what happened here?

only solution (compromise) which I found is to disconnect and reconnect the PC unit; Windows runs properly after the surgery to close it; next morning found the same problem...

Terminal window blinking cursor will not accept keyboard entry

Have SunBlade100 w/ Solaris8.
This is probably a dumb beginner question...
When I enter certain commands at the terminal window - in this particular case
# cat /dev/cua/a
and I hit <return> the cursor skips to the next line, and
continues blinking , and will not accept any keyboard entries.
1. What is the significance of this? Is the cursor waiting further action, and if so, what?
2. How do I get back to the prompt?
3. Under this condition, is it safe to exit the terminal window by closing from the Window menu? (I can't type "exit" because the cursor won't accept keyboard entries, and Help for "closing the terminal" warns against closing from the Window menu because any background processes will not be terminated (and this may cause problems).
Thanks in advance for any info on this.

Thanks again for the info. <control>+C was exactly what I was looking for. It's coming back to me now-- the last time I had contact w/ UNIX was back in '85 at UC Berkeley (no GUI's back then!).
I'm assuming that <control>+C is a graceful (i.e. relatively harmless way to exit the command.

Vnc, ssh ports intermittently not accepting connections since upgrading to 10.10.1

Since upgrading I cannot remote access my mac book air 2014. Prior to the upgrade I did not have any issues. I have not changed any networking / firewall settings.
Sometimes it works, other times the vnc and ssh ports do not accept connections.
Running nmap on another host on the local LAN reports all ports as being filtered.
Other times, nmap shows 22, 5900, and the AFP port open, as expected.
I know there have been reports of wi-fi issues, and this machine is using wi-fi.
Is it possible that when the screen blanks after a period of the machine not being used, that the wi-fi connection is going into a power down mode?
I don't see the ports being filtered when I am using the machine, it's only after I've left the house and I try to remotely connect.

Basic and frustrating: Pages will not accept my serial number

My wife's iBook's hard drive recently died. We were able to save most things with Data Rescue even though the disk won't mount (bravo Data Rescue). Until she gets a new internal drive she would like to use the computer with an external Firewire drive, which has all her docs on it.
That's fine, but Pages, installed on the external drive, won't accept the serial number that came with the software and that worked before. Come to think of it, I now recall there was some problem the FIRST time. I was on the phone with Apple for quite some time when finally the guy said something that made a difference, but I can't remember what it was. All I know is that I have entered many serial numbers for software, and iWork is the only one that hasn't just worked. Anyone know what the trick is, or how I can get another number?

Bob,
I think to start I have more questions than answers.
Are you started up from the external drive you're trying to run iWork from? Are you logged in as an administrator when trying to enter the serial number? Are you trying to enter the serial number for iWork '05 or '06? The font used for the serial numbers with iWork '05 was a very bad choice & led to a lot of confusion. I wrote a user tip, iWork: serial number tip, that addressed most of the common problems. Other than the confusion of letters & numbers, the other possibilities are probably applicable to iWork '06. Try these & then post back if it works or not. If it doesn't, your answers to my initial questions might lead us to the solution.

Aperture does not accept keyboard entry

When I need to enter information by keyboard, Aperture does not see the letters or keys being typed. All other applications on my iMac see the keyboard strokes with no issue.
Never mind. It seems to apply mainly to text entry when exporting a picture. When you first open up the "Export" dialogue box, the text entry doesn't work. If you click anywhere within the box and then in one of the text entry fields, it works.
Sorry to bother everybody.

I have had the same problem with Firefox in Ubuntu. However, a simple solution I use is to go to System->Preferences->Keyboard and type in some characters into the 'Type to test settings' edit box. This will bring back the ability to type characters into Firefox once again.

My contact page will not accept any inputs.

Here is the entire problem. 1. on my contact page built with Flash CS5, I try to enter text into the boxes. Only the characters c,l,o,n,t will actually type. Nothing else enters. What did i do wrong? 2. I can't for the life of me, make a pretty flash link work to go to another URL. /facepalm . I would love some help and/advice (besides delete flash and use frontpage 95.) If you'd like, you can find the .fla file here.

I haven't taken a look at the file yet, but here are some things you might want to try in the meantime.
For the text box issue, did you embed the font you're using? Sometimes that can cause character display issues. Just go to embed font
in the properties of the text box. For the gotourl, make sure it has www before it, so the link would be
http://www.myurlhere.com
Also, is this coded in AS2 or AS3?

Firefox and Thunderbird are suddenly not accepting keyboard input

Keyboard shortcuts still work just input in any kind of input field fails so I can still use ctrl+C / CTRL+V to somewhat use firefox and Thunderbird But all input fields are completely unresponsive to keyboard input
The problem suddenly arose while I was browsing.
I have the same issue on all program's based on the Gecko engine and I confirmed them so far in Firefox, waterfox, instantbird, thunderbird and fossamail. However chromium / windows / basically everythign n
To fix it I tried the following:
Restarting firefox
Restarting firefox in savemode
Rebooting
Changing the keyboard layout in windows
Using a different keyboard
Again rebooting
Pressing F7 to check for caret mode which was disabled
pressing winkey + F9 (Whatever that does)
I am running windows 8.1(x64)

Solved, Changing the keyboard layout again and rebooting fixed it. I tried using the on screen keyboard which worked so I changed the keyboard layout again and rebooted and now it works just fine. I still wonder what caused a Gecko wide issue like this?

Thunderbird 24.6.0 suddenly stops accepting keyboard input in the middle of typing a message

On a system running Debian Testing (kernel version 3.13.10-1), at times Thunderbird 24.6.0 suddenly stops accepting keyboard input in the middle of typing a message. Some times, it will not accept keyboard input from the time a new message window opens (both from click Write or Reply).
Regardless of when the problem starts, I can still copy text from another source and paste it into the message, and I can still send the message.
Sometimes, the problem will clear up itself after a few minutes, meaning I can suddenly start typing in the open message window, but sometimes not, and I will have to close the message window and restart Thunderbird or reboot the system.
