Problem with the mouse key

Hello,
I can't speak english very well. but I try it
My problem is that my trackpad mouse key sometimes doesn't work completly.
what can I do?
thanks

First, you have to try and determine if it's software or hardware related. It sounds though, like you may have a trackpad issue.
1. Try using a mouse plugged into the unit. Does it do it then?
2. Login as another User. Does it do it then?
3. Boot from your install DVD and play with it there. Can you get it to act up now?

Bug: problems with the Escape key

Hi all,
In an attempt to get around real estate problems, I set my Dell 24" monitor in portrait mode. Logic 8 behaves as it should most of the time. However, there appears to be a problem with the Escape key. Most of the time, the Tools menu doesn't appear until you mouse out of the editing areas (eg into the menu area above the piano roll).
Clearly, Logic should just take its resolution and screen dimensions from the OS but there appears to be a problem in extreme portrait mode.
I'll report this but wanted to check that I'm not being an absolute and total plonker first. Anybody confirm this behaviour?
Thanks!
Pete

that sounds like a memory issue. have you tried reorganizing memory?

Problem with the volume keys on my keyboard.

Hey everybody,
I have a problem with the volume keys on my keyboard. This started a couple days ago and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. When I press the volume up or down buttons, the graphic appears on the screen as it normally would, but has no effect on the volume of the sound coming out of my speakers. Therefore, the only way to change the volume of music or whatever I am listening to is to use the volume control within the program/website itself (itunes, youtube, etc.) Even changing the volume on the volume icon at the menu bar on top of the screen does nothing. If anyone has an idea of how to go about solving this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

First look into the Preference > Sound > Outpur whether internal Speakers are choosen.
The only Preference to delete I can discover is com.apple.systempreferences.plist in your home Library folder. You can try to move it out to the desktop for example, not to loose all your settings. Restart and see whether the problem still persists. If you don't know how to do this here some Terminal (Applications > Utilities) commands. Enter them by copy and paste followed by <enter>
mv ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist ~/Desktop/
restart
to get it back:
mv ~/Desktop/com.apple.systempreferences.plist ~/Library/Preferences/
confirm with "y" if you are asked to replace this file.

I have a new hard drive and itunes and my computer (windows XP) no longer recognise my ipod. I also had the problem with the registry keys not being present but this has now been fixed. However i can no longer link my ipod up with itunes.

When I first tried itunes with my new hard drive there was the problem with the registry keys but something also flagged up about needing a signed driver. Is this anything to do with why Itunes and my computer no longer recognises when my ipod is linked up? Whatever i try under 'devices' my ipod is never available to sync up. If anyone can help I would be most grateful.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this has not worked. I didn't have quicktime to begin with so I don't know if that makes a difference? After following the instructions, I get the "registry keys missing" problem appear again (which I've subsequently fixed again) and then when I connected the ipod I got the following message - 'Device driver software was not successfully installed'.
I've tried windows update but this doesn't do anything as '...the service is not running'.
Any suggestions?

The cursor on my iMac freezes, and I cannot do anything unless I unplug the computer. It is NOT a problem with the mouse or the keyboard ... it is internal. How do I fix this??

The cursor on my iMac (Panther 10.3.9) freezes to where I cannot do anything unless I unplug the computer. It is NOT a problem with the mouse or the keyboard. How do I solve this problem?

The cost to get this repaired is more than what you could find another used imac for.
I would suggest you get some details before you rush to make a diagnosis. You have absolutely no information to base this on. I see you're hitting up on numerous threads all over the place. Quality, meaning several good posts with reliable advice, is much more worthwhile than quantity.

Problems with the Period Key

This may be strange, but when I type a period "." strange thins happen in Mail and Safari! It is as if when typing a period it is like hitting the return key! Forinstance, if I'm typing a web address in on Safari, as soon as I type a period in the address bar, Safari goes and tries to look up the address before I finish.
Or, in Mail, when I type a period in the body of the message, the cursor moves down a line like I hit the return key. It even happens while I type this message and it ONLY happens with the period key. This is fustrating! Does anyone have ideas as to how to fix this? I have all upgrades installed and my powerbook generally is running great except for this. Help?

Don't you have the year dim joined with the fact?

Problems with the "X" Key ...

Since quite a while I noted that I real often miss the "X" key when typing a text. I always treated it as my fault (a typo), especially as it works when typing it a second time. But meanhwile I have to say that it only happens with that "X" key and as I never has a wrong letter in my text and just a missing "X", I start wondering whether there is a problem.
Now I feel like I have read something about a thing like this a while ago. Unfortunatley I cannot remember where ...
I also have a hard time searching the Discussions due to difficult search arguments (wow, try X and key ...).
So my question before I going to buy me a new keyboard ... does anybody has the same feeling that the "X" key fails rather often? Or does even somebody know about a know problem?
Thx for your info on that!

Problems with the mouse timing (CS 5)

The mouse timing is completely off on my project. I am used to using CS 4 where the mouse timing was simply spread evenly throughout the length of the mouse bar i.e. the movement didn't automatically jump towards the end of it's alotted timeetc. In CS 5, however, the mouse doesn't even end up where I assign it to go. It also doesn't start to move until halfway intio the mouse bar and then it starts moving slow and eventually doesn't even reach it's assinged destination! I've checked that the "Reduce Speed before Click" setting is indeed off. I am familiar with Captivate, this doesn't seem to be working the way it should. Is there an update? Could it be a problem that I am working on a project originally created in CS 4. Please help.

Hi there,
I created a Captivate 4 recording project with mouse movements and upgraded it to Captivate 5 and published the project, for me the mouse trial is proper and clicks in the intended areas in the application. I dont see the delay as well.
Can you let me know
1. If i have missed any steps above ?
2. If you have resized the project in Cp4 and then upgraded in Cp5 ?
If possible please share the Cp4 project so that i can have a look into the issue in more detail. You can mail me the project to ashwin at adobe dot com
Cheers !!

Problem with the 'up' key in G560e

I have a problem that my 'up' key doesn't work at all. It's important because I need it to brighten my screen with 'Fn' key. Is it possible to brighten the screen somehow without using 'Fn' key? the 'up' key seems to be not working at all...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Adingh,
What you can do is Increase the brightness by clicking the Battery icon in your taskbar, then select adjust screen brightness
In the long run
I would suggest you replace the keyboard

Problems with the alt key and numbers, please help major issue

All of a sudden I am unable to use the alt key with any numbers, meaning I can't create hashes (alt 3) and bullets (alt 8), and others that I haven't missed yet. I've tried two keyboards, one wireless and one wired but to no avail. It seems to work fine for everything except 3 through 9.
I found somebody with the same issue beforehand:
*I have finally tracked the problem down to a problem preference file, namely this one:*
com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist
*I have no idea what it's supposed to do, but it wasn't doing it right.*
But even still, it made no sense to me, can anybody help me? This is an issue that's been disrupting everything I do on my Mac for a few days now, and not found the issue as yet.

Feel a bit silly now! Just sorted it myself, had a look around my hard drive, and deleted the com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist file, and restarted, when I started up and tested it my ¡€#¢∞§¶•ªº keyboard alt tab seemed to work!
For future reference, just do this and restart afterwards:
[YourHardDrive]>>Users>>[YourUserName]>>>Library>>>Preferences>>>com.apple.symbo lichotkeys.plist>>>Delete that>>>Restart your Mac and you've fixed it.
Cheers anyway!

There is a null in the duplicate data.....
As there is NULL in the data It is not allowing me to add the primary key to the table.....
I am just looking if there is any other way to create primary key with the same data....the reason for the null not allowing you to have unique records is because null means "unknown". I could go into this in more depth but....
...again - we need to ask, why do you have linda green and robert black in there twice.
if you really do need those two extra rows, then create another column with a unique ID using a sequence and make that the primary key. a primary key uniquely identifies a row. for this data I don't see any reason whatsoever to create a composite key like you are attempting.
by trying to make the entire row a primary key it is clear your understanding is severely lacking.
