Pressing keys doesn't do anything

When you press the keys it doesn't do anything. Except puts a box around the app. You can't enter the unlock passcode either

Thanks a whole bunch! I was about to Restore it! My son wasn't too happy about that! So thank you so much! It worked! :~)

Typing links in URL, pressing enter doesn't direct web page.

So I'm typing a link in the url, not including the http://www. but just the name and the domain type. Like "Google.com" for example. After typing I press enter but I don't get directed to the new page. Pressing enter doesn't do anything, and even if I include the http://www. it's still the name.

Have you tried a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I updated to maverick, and maybe it's a coincidence but my left shift key doesn't work unless i really press it down. Is there any way to fix this without bringing it into the Genius Bar?

Plugins usually are installed externally to Firefox. However, you can disable them in Firefox so that Firefox does not use them.
SearchReset is supposed to automate the task of resetting certain preferences, but you still can edit them manually if necessary.
'''''Address Bar Search'''''
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. This should restore Google as the default for address bar search.
Does that work?
'''''Search Box'''''
Usually it works to choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down. To remove an unwanted search engine plugin, usually the Manage Search Engines... choice at the bottom of the drop-down takes care of it.
Do either of those work?
There might be another way to hijack that search box; I think some of the other frequent responders probably are more familiar with it than I am.

In the expression editor dialog box my TAB key doesn't function correctly

This is bizarre behavior that seems to have started recently.
In Visual Studio 2012, an SSRS project, any expression editor dialog:
The tab key doesn't work right.
Open the expression editor and:
* I see a blinking cursor and I can type in the expression box.
* If I hit the tab key, the cursor disappears and I cannot type. I appear to lose focus in the editor but focus doesn't appear to go anywhere else in the dialog box.
* If I hit the tab key a 2nd time, the cursor is still gone and I cannot type.
* If I hit the tab key a 3rd time, I can finally type again and note that I am now
3 tabstops in. In other words it seems like the tabs were working but I lost the ability to type anything until I "tab" 3 magical times.
I can work around this by hitting tab key then grabbing the mouse and clicking where the cursor SHOULD be which returns focus to the text area.
Hopefully this image helps clarify:

Hi Bostaevski,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
According to your description, as you said that the cursor disappears and cannot type issue. It seems that the issue may be not Visual Studio the VS IDE issue.
In addition, I find a similar thread about the
Expression Editor Cursor Issue,
please see:
http://www.beta.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedbackdetail/view/780682/vs-2012-rdlc-expression-editor-cursor-issue#.
Therefore, I suggest you could also try to press alt with left and right arrow keys and check if it is works fine.
Thnank for your understanding!

Lumia 920 doesn't do anything

Hi everyone,
My Lumia 920 doesn't do anything at all, when I push the powerbutten it doens't vibrate, the screen is black and I can't hear a sound. Is there anything I could try myself, or do I need to send it to nokia?
thanks for thinking.

There are a few things you can try before sending it off.
Firstly, connect it to a charger and leave it for 30 minutes just in case the battery is so dead that it can't even register the fact that you want to switch on.
If that doesn't bring it back to life then the next thing to try is a soft reset. Simply press and hold the "volume down" and "power/lock" keys together for about 20 seconds. The phone should vibrate and boot up. While your settings, installed apps, media etc. will be preserved, you might have to set the clock again.
If even that doesn't work then the next thing to try is a hard reset. Now, this will erase everything in the phone and make it start in pristine factory state. Hopefully your contacts, messages, photos and apps will have been backed up to SkyDrive, meaning that you should be back up and running again fairly quickly.
Disconnect the charger and wait for a minute. Next, press and hold the "volume down" key while connecting the charger. You should see an exclamation mark on the screen. Then, press in sequence the following keys: "volume up", "volume down", "power/lock" and then "volume down" again. The phone should reinitialise itself.
If none of the above work then you will have to send the phone off for repairs, I'm afraid.

Alt Key Doesn't Work With Tools

Suddenly the Alt key doesn't work with Clone and other Tools. When it's pressed, it shows a double arrow (black/white)cursor and a selection is not defined.
I did a forum search and found this
Q: My Alt key doesn´t work when using the Clone, Lasso, Magnifyer.. Tool.
A:
Some programs and utilities takes control of the Alt key when installed.
GuruNet (Atomica) and FlySwat are two of these applications. Uninstall them and re-claim the Alt-key, and all should be fine.
...but these programs are not on my PC. Plus, the Alt key works fine in other programs. I'm using CS.
I'm desperate to fix this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dear Awe,
>Crumbs in the board?
Thank you!!! My first thought on reading your msg was "You gotta be kidding". Then, "well, why not". So I did it and it worked. Amazing. Learn something new every day. In 18+ years of computer use I never had this problem (I've had lots of dirty keyboards, but never this problem). Must have been a big crumb. The only mystery though is why the key worked ok in another program. Anyway, a thousand thanks.
John, thank you for your reply too. I looked in the Regional Settings but couldn't find anything re keyboard mapping. I'm using XP.
Best Regards,
CJ

URGENT: when COMMIT doesn't save anything

Hello friends at www.oracle.com ,
I'm having a problem: a Forms program that has a COMMIT instruction before calling a report but, when we look at the report, it doesn't show any data that should be committed (INSERTed, in this case).
Looking at the table through Worksheet shows that COMMIT hasn't saved data, although Forms doesn't show any error that could be happening. Even pressing SHIFT+F1 keys to see any Oracle Error doesn't show anything.
If you have any suggestion about what could be wrong, please tell me. The fact is: although a COMMIT is used before calling the report, nothing happens and Forms doesn't give any feedback - error message, etc.
Thanks, and best regards,
Franklin Gongalves Jr.

Run with a database trace on
EG FORMS_DDL('ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE = TRUE');
Look at the trace file (generated on the server side, so you may need to talk to your DBA) and see if the INSERTs and COMMIT ae being sent to the database, and if any errors are coming back.
I seem to recall, Forms has a problem dealing with the failure of deferred constraints. It thinks the INSERT (or UPDATE) has already been applied, when the server has rolled it back.

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
If you forget the password and FileVault is on

How do I find out if the pressed key is printable?

I have made a game and now I'm working on a hiscore table for it. But with my function the program doesn't know if the pressed key is printable or if it's shift, ctrl or something like that. And I made it possible to enter maximum 40 letters as name, so if the user holds the shift key for a while then the whole String is filled with shift characters and nothing shows on the screen and he/she isn't able to type in any more letters... So is there any way to find out if the pressed key contains a printable char?
This is what my function looks like now. My program is quite big so I just post the function and try to explain what is happening
/* high is an array of
int score;
String name;
boolean WritingName;
boolean GAMEOVER;
boolean newgame;
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
     if (GAMEOVER){ // checks if the game has ended
         char button = e.getKeyChar();
         int keyCode = e.getKeyCode();
         if (newgame){ // this is false if the hi-score list is showing otherwise its true. i.e. its true when typing name for hiscore list
               if (keyCode == 10) {       // check if the pressed key is enter
                    WritingName = false; // Tells an other function that the user has finished typing his/her name so it can save it and start showing the hiscore-list on the screen
               } else {
                    if (keyCode == 8){    // check if the pressed key is backspace and if so removes the last char from the string
                         if (high[99].name.length() > 0){
                              high[99].name=high[99].name.substring(0,high[99].name.length()-1);
                    } else { // if any other key is pressed then add it to the end of the string
                         if (high[99].name.length() <= 40 ) high[99].name += button;
               paint(getGraphics());
          } else { // checks if space is pressed to stop showing the hiscore-list and start a new game
               if (keyCode == 32) newgame = true;
}

But with my function the program doesn't know if the pressed key is printable or if it's shift, ctrl
or something like thatProbably the easiest way is to check and see if e.getKeyChar() < a space character or if e.getKeyCode() >= 127. You can use e.getModifiers() to get the modifier, etc... -- take a look at the documentation for java.awt.event.KeyEvent class.

Im trying to instal snow leopard on my macbook. its running tiger 10.4.11 and it meets all the requirements but it ask me for a restart to begin instalation progres, i restar it and it doesn't happen anything

im trying to instal snow leopard on my macbook. its running tiger 10.4.11 and it meets all the requirements but it ask me for a restart to begin instalation progres, i restar it and it doesn't happen anything. anyone can help me?

I assume the restart was prompted during the installation process?
First of all, that restart will take several minutes while files are moved into place and should not be interrupted.
If it fails, or you have interrupted the process, you'll need to boot from the installer (hold down the C key on startup) and use Disk Utility to erase the drive prior to continuing the installation.
That will wipe all data on the drive, though, so if you didn't make a backup before beginning the upgrade, you'll need to get your data off safely before proceeding. That may likely require the use of another Mac to access yours in Target Disc Mode.

Left shift key doesn't work on some characters

In some applications, such as Excel and AOL, my left shift key doesn't work on some letters. Consequently, when I'm typing I get lower case letters when I've typed shift plus the letter to get a cap. Right shift works OK, but I'm not used to using it. It happens on i, t, and p, I've noticed so far. I don't know if it's the keyboard or the application. Word seems to work fine.
Would welcome any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it.
Powermac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Is it possible that you have inadvertently switched to a different keyboard layout? Open System Preferences, then click on the Language & Text preferences. Within the Language & Text preferences click on the 'Input Sources'. You should see a long list of languages representing the various keyboard layouts that are available. Make sure that only the keyboard language you use is selected. If there are multiple languages selected then de-select the extras.
If you continue to have problems then check the 'Show input menu in menu bar' checkbox in the lower section of the preference pane. This will place an icon in the upper right menu bar (it looks like a flag representing the language you have chosen for your input device) that provides additional options. I suggest selecing the 'Show Keyboard Viewer' option and then try pressing the keys that you are having problems with to see how they show up on the keyboard viewer graphic. If you've set the correct language for your keyboard and the key sequences still don't match, then you may need to take your keyboard in for service. Better yet, borrow another keyboard to confirm that the keyboard is the issue.

Satellite M30X-111 screen doesn't display anything but external monitor works

My laptop screen just doesn't display anything (look like when the computer is off) but when I connect the external monitor, then the desktop will be displayed on that monitor. I tried to recover the laptop using the recovery disk and it worked again, but today, it stopped working again.
I again have to plug in the external monitor, and after I tried to reboot, I keep pressing F8 but the start up mode doesn't come up, only the sound of when you keep pressing a button for too long beeps, however, the laptop monitor works again.
How do I fix this problem?

Hi
According to your first posting I presume that LCD display on your notebook is defective. If you can not see BIOS settings or Toshiba welcome screen there must be some display problem.
Experiment with external display is to be sure that graphic card is not responsible for that. In your case it works with external display and graphic card can not be responsible.
Like I said try to enter bios settings and report if you can see Toshiba welcome screen.
