Hi, couple days ago I noticed that certain keys are not working properly when pressed. When I press certain keys such as "m, u, j, and others" I noticed that they are somehow short cut keys. I cannot type withot using the keyboeard viewer. I need help on resolving the problem. I restore the compter to an earlier backup, and resetted PRM. What do I need to do to rectify the issue. Thanks

I noticed that they are somehow short cut keys.
Using Lion, you cannot de-select the short cuts in System Preferences?

I have a problem with the keyboard on my MacBook. The letters are typing as symbols and the delete and return/enter buttons do not work. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Hey skyshade13,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines how to restore a previous iTunes library should there be no content after updating. While the article does not speak specifically to your symptoms, attempting the steps by utilizing the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder may resolve your issue.

Is anyone experiencing problems with the keyboard in CS5?

Hello all,
I am having an issue with Photoshop CS5 (Windows). When using the keyboard, the current tool I am using will switch to a different one! In this video, you can see that after using the text tool (t), it changes to the marque tool (m), when I have actually just pressed the shortcut for the select tool (v). Towards the end of the video, I select the text, press the right on the keyboard a couple of times, suddenly the tool changes from text to the select tool again (v). If anyone is experiencing this problem on Photoshop CS5 (windows) and has a fix for it, I would like to hear it!
This is also happening on my windows machine at home, so it is not specific to this PC. The settings have been reset and I am using the latest version. It has been uninstalled and installed a number of times and I am still having the same issue.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice you can give me

I'd specifically look for programs running for your keyboard and mouse.
If you have a multimedia keyboard (one with volume controls, brightness, sleep, launch mail, etc) the "launcher" program might be causing issues.
I have a wireless logitech keyboard with their SetPoint software running and noticed that I was having odd keyboard issues in Blender.
I updated to their most recent software and haven't had a problem since.
I'd suggest terminating any program related to the keyboard or mouse and seeing if that resolves the issue.
Maybe even running windows in safe mode to eliminate all unnecessary background programs.
If that still doesn't work and a different keyboard doesn't work then I'd move on to try updating the video card drivers (or uninstalling the current video card driver and reinstalling the driver).
Maybe also reset all mouse and keyboard options to their defaults in the windows control panel.
Good luck!

WEIRD! Has Anyone had this problem with the keyboard ribbon cable? HLP! PLS

Replacing a DVD drive and using ifixit to reassemble the unit; the PB 1.67 Ghz wont turn on--nothing.
After 3 days of troubleshooting I finally found that pressing the keyboard ribbon cable to the logic board very firmly while pressing the power button starts it.
Nothing else works. When I release the pressure the PB works fine after start however the power switch doesnt work again (for an emergency manual shutdown or to boot the PB again). Tape doesnt work.
This connection is only a small friction fit connector. Ive cleaned the area, compressed air cleaned and close inspection shows no visible problems I can see.
Has anybody experienced this and how do I fix it? I cant open the PB every time I want to boot it!
Steve

Hi, Steve. I don't have an answer for your faulty connection, but as for workarounds, there is seldom a need to shut a Powerbook down and then boot it up using the power button. I recommend that you stop shutting down as a matter of habit, and instead just put the Powerbook to sleep (using the command in the Apple menu) when you aren't going to use it for a while.
I could easily count on my fingers and toes the total number of times my Powerbook has been shut down since I bought it four years and ten months ago. It runs 24/7/365 except when I'm working on something inside it. For all other purposes, a software Sleep or Restart command suffices, and I don't need the power button for those. You should be able to reduce your need for that button just as drastically.

Problem with the keyboard buffer...

Hello everybody,
i have this a problem:
i develop an applet that have some textfields, on the first textfield the input must be english, on the second textfield the input must be in arabic, for changing the input i used on focus gain the command that change the innput locale, my problem is when navigating from textfield to another using the "enter" command, if the typist is typing very fast (i mean very fast) the input is not changing quiclky and the first two character are written in english in the arabic textfield and then the input is changed, is there any way to prevent that, or is there any way to fix it even if i'll have to change the code or something..... thank you......

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.

That's so you can text with your thumbs. If it does' tog back together automatically put your finger on the tiny typewriter and you should get a pop up to reconnect keyboard. Or more easily put a finger on each one and pop them together.

When downloading from a Sony minidisc video camera, the picture is downloading but without sound. Previously, it had downloaded successfully both sound and picture. I have subsequently upgraded to Lion X (10.7.4). Is there some problem with the driver?

When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

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??

Sorry to say but your imac g5 logic board has bad caps. This was a problem apple had and issued a out of warentee fix but that has now expired.
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.

Hi, After I installed Mac Lion, I have problem with the tamil font while typing in Neo Office. Especially with the letters "e-Ex: தெ" and "ai-Ex:தை". Please help me I know its not bug from Apple It shd be some problem in neo.

Is your problem due to the keyboard or to NeoOffice Characters? You have to change probably the font. Not all fonts are supporting all Unicode sets. Which font you have in your NeoOffice set to write Tamil? Try with Arial Unicode MS for example.
Are the letter e-Ex and ai-Ex right in your posting? If they are right, how you inserted these letters in your posting? By copy and paste or by typing? If by typing, your question is related to NeoOffice. Probably you should reinstall or update NeoOffice? Or switch to OpenOffice?

Final Cut Express was discontinued about 18 months ago, before the release of Lion (10.7). It is no longer a supported product and was never supported on Lion, nor on Mountain Lion.
While some FCE users have had success running FCE on Lion, many have reported problems including problems with chroma keying. I do not recall any solution to the chroma keying problem, but you might try searching this Forum to see what others have discovered or tried.
Final Cut Pro X is the app supported on Lion & Mountain Lion, and the future direction Apple has taken. Since your computer lab has already moved to Lion (10.7.5) and presumably will move to Mountain Lion in the future, you should begin the process of moving to Final Cut Pro X. I appreciate there are implications for cost, training, inconvenience and re-doing lesson plans. But technology moves on and at some point we need to move with it too.

Would there be a problem with the warranty in the UK if bought in USA? Plus is there a big difference between US and UK keyboards? Thanks

Hi, I'm from the UK and in the USA for a week. I'm thinking of purchasing an Air. Would there be a problem with the warranty in the UK if bought in the US? Plus is there a big difference between US and UK keyboards?
Cheers
G

There are subtle differences on a British layout, mainly having to do with the top line (shift numbers), to permit the use of European monetary symbols. There are a few other keys different (note the enter key).
Here are the basic layouts. Obviously the MBA won't have an eject key, as the power key resides in that location.
