Problems with keyboard--Please read and help!

Ok, I have a Blackberry Curve 8320
Carrier is T-mobile
I did just do an update on my phone but the problem existed before this. Also, I have already done several battery pulls and haven't fixed the problem yet.
The original issue was that every time I pressed the B button, ALT button, or the SYM button...it would automatically type b$
However, if I hit the ALT button then anything, it would type B$
I don't know what happened but it suddenly started working correctly and I had changed my mind about posting....BUT
it started messing up again! Now, more than one of the keys are acting funny and I'm not sure why.
What is currently happening is if I hit the 'a' button, it types 'ja'
If I press the ALT button, it types b$ again and it does it sometimes if I press B but NOT consistently.
It hasn't been near any water or anything of that sort. I haven't knowingly messed with any settings but I may have by accident.
I do lock my phone before putting it in my pocket or anything else so I'm not really pressing random buttons when I'm unaware of my doing it.
Does anyone have any suggestions or guesses or a way to fix this?

It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath, or a pocket when you're seating, can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out.
It really is more common than you think.
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
3. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
*Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

IMovie project with 06 (please read and help..)

I just upgraded to iLife 08. I had 06 before 08 and had a iMovie project with 06 and can't view in iMovie, why is this.

I don't know the answer to that but you can download and reinstall iMovie HD to complete your project. You'll find that the new iMovie has simplified some aspects which many do not like so Apple has provided an iMovie HD download for those with iLife 08 installed. That way you can use the older version for those features that have been dumbed down in iPhoto 8. Both have their pluses and minuses. I like the older version for how it handles added multiple audio tracks.
Do you Twango?

I have an older version of Adobe Digital Editions (around 3 years old) and was very happy with it. Then I had problems with my Kobo Reader and asked a friend who works in IT to assist. She could not fix the Kobo but she messed up my Addobe. She downloade

I have an older version of Adobe Digital Editions (around 3 years old) and was very happy with it.
Then I had problems with my Kobo Reader and asked a friend who works in IT to assist. She could not fix the Kobo but she messed up my Addobe. She downloaded version three and I have an account and a password - was not able to transfer my books from my reader to version three (and I don't like the lay-out - I would prefer to stay with the old version as I also loose all my download date info..)
But all the books I have bought over the last three years are in the old Adobe Digital and I cannot access them any more. When I use it I get the message "that the document is licensed to a different account. I can't even open the books on my computer.
When I go to my Kobo library, I cannot also not open my books and get the message "this doc is protected by adobe digital rights management and is not currently authorized for use with your adobe. please sign in with your authorized adobe id and try again"
I believe the problem is that I do not seem to have a digital id for my old adobe or that the Kobo is not in sync with it anymore.
can you please help me - going on vacation in three days and cannot go without books.

Please authorize ADE 3 with same credentials that you used with older version of ADE

Here's a challenge please read and help.......

I work for a company of a 1000 people and the owners bought everyone an ipod.
the problem is that my boss wants me to record each persons serial number to their ipod and print it out for his records.
i know that the serial number is on the back of the unit but that would take to long.
I also know that when its plugged into the ipod updater program the serial number also shows.
I would like to know if someone can build me a script that would grab the serial number to each ipod i plug in to the updater (maybe bash script, grab from string) copy it to the clip board and paste it to a text edit document. ohh and also a dialog box so i can write the persons name down. and if that can be added to the document as well.
Sincerely
an over worked employee.

If you still have the boxes handy, check to see if the S/N is printed on with a barcode. If so you can just zap those all in with a reader and be done with it in minutes.
Otherwise, to fish that string out of Updater first you must launch Apps/AppleScript/AppleScript Utility.app and check Enable GUI Scripting (enter an admin pass), then you can run this script…
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "System Events" to tell process "iPod Updater" to set an_sn to the value of static text 6 of group 1 of window 1
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
set a_name to the text returned of (display dialog "Enter a name for iPod " & an_sn default answer "")
if the length of (get documents) is less than 1 then make new document
tell (a reference to the front document's text) to set contents to contents & an_sn & tab & a_name & return
end tell</pre>Edit

Non-functioning monitor, please read and help!

Hello everyone!
We have had wonderful function from our 24inch iMac for over 2 years now. We've never had a problem with it and it mostly functions for family entertainment. It is not overworked graphically besides some gaming.
Anyways, usually the computer does stay on for extended periods of days, however it is always put into sleep mode at night. This morning when we go to wake it up, nothing happens. We can hear the computer working in the background, can turn volume up/down, eject disk, etc. We have not upgraded anything recently, added new applications, or changed/added hardware. Using a flashlight on the screen reveals no image at all, doesn't seem like just the backlight is out. I've tried manual restart, leave comp unplugged for an hour, reset pram/nvram, but nothing.
By your expert opinion, where do we go from here? Is there something obvious we're missing, or is this the end of the road for the monitor? Thanks for your time!

Hi, Welcome to the discussion area!
If you have a 24" iMac you have an Intel-based iMac not an iMac G5. You really should post in the Intel-based iMac discussion area.

I need to get photos off my iphone using itunes, PLEASE READ AND HELP

okay, I have pics on my iphone that need off and i can't use my phone, i need to use itunes. how do i do it, ive tried and can't see a remove photos button. it says to deselect a box and hit remove photos, where is that?

If these photos were synced then you need to connect your phone to iTunes, select the phone under devices and then the photos tab. Deselect photos or albums you want to remove.
If these photos were taken on the phone then you need to delete on your phone. Go to your camera roll and you will see an icon in the top right (a square with an arrow), select and then choose the photos and hit delete

Problem with iTunes and iPhone Music organization. PLEASE READ AND HELP!

Hello All!
I have this problem concerning iTunes and my iPhone. When I add music, and I update the Artist title to organize it in my iPhone, It shows EDITED on my mac in iTunes, but not my iPhone. I took a screen shot of what It shows. The TOP is iTunes showing "Arie Dixon" and "Arie Dixon & Olivia Cipolla" two seperate CD's, yet different Artist Titles, just the way I want it. The BOTTOM shows how the file was originally, in 3 seperate titles, "Bebe Boohgz" "The Jackmove 3" and "Arie Dixon 'Bebe Boohgz' and Olivia Cipolla". The problem is that iTunes shows it in the correct title, but my iPhone won't. This is my 2nd iPhone 4 I have that has this problem. I'm not sure if it's the settings or encoding, can someone help me out? I can't be the only person with this problem. Apple rep looked at me like o_O
I also have music that won't appear in my iPhone, I manually have to search for, but appears on my iTunes in the correct title.
I also have everything updated, and have the new os x release.

I have a 3GS and the ios is 4.3.4. I am trying to load the latest version so I can then get the icloud.
So plug the device into the computer and upgrade.
Are you getting a specific error message when trying to do this?
As for the message about the media disappearing, of course it will. This is how iOS upgrades work. The device is wiped and the newest version of iOS for the device is installed as a "new" device then the device is restored using the backup created prior to the upgrade.
All the content on the device should already exist in iTunes on the computer.
If you want to move your iTunes library to a different drive for capacity reasons, do the following:
Close iTunes
Copy or Move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the C drive to the other drive.
While holding SHIFT launch iTunes. iTunes will then prompt the user to select a library or create a new one. Point iTunes to the new iTunes folder location.

you may need to convert the videos to a format appropriate for the ipod to see them .which are .mov or .mp4 video files. to do this you will ened to convert the videos using a 3rd party software that is not suported by apple. windows users have had either trouble or success using this software.

IPhone 3GS with iOS 5 and storage space/app problems... Please read and help

I have an iPhone 3GS with iOS 5. Before the update I had a load of apps etc and was left with approx 4gb space left. Since the update removed ALL my apps from my iPhone, I still have the same ammount of space. Why is this?

Hi,
Are you sure your phone has not been unlocked or jailbroken at some time as the same thing happened to me.
I had the phone secondhand and did not know. Updating to IOS 5 locked the phone back to the original service provider which was AT&T in USA and I am in UK.
Hope this helps,
Alan

Everyone please read and help me with this...

ok so about a year ago i installed iTunes on my computer and had a couple hundred songs downloaded. about half of them were bought out of iTunes. I had them all onto my iPod nano. Then a few weeks later my computer crashed. The hard drive "died" as you can call it. I have recently bought a new computer with Windows XP and we will soon be getting an upgrade to Vista.
I have two questions...
1). does anyone remember about the online live support we used to get from live apple representatives? it was instant messaging with the representatvies and they would help you with your problems. Does anyone know if that still exists? and if it does could you please give me a link to that site?
2). Is there any possible way for me to take the songs i have on my iPod and put them into my new library?
please everyone i need all the help i can get...ive lately been playing all my songs from a speaker system i bought that would connect with my iPod...i would like them to be on my computer...

After you click on "Add a Printer", do you select "Add a Network, Wireless, or Bluetooth Printer"?
If that doesn't work, there should be a way to connect by specifying the IP address of your AirPort Express.

IPhone 4s UK Siri iOS7 Problem! Please read and help APPLE

Hello so yesterday I did the update for iOS7 for my iphone 4s. Everything was ok until I checked out SIRI.
Siri's voice has become FUZZY, unclear, no way is it easy to understand, etc.
Yes i've changed the siri to US siri but if i ask siri to take me home, or another location. Sir will then take me to the maps application and then Siri will go back to UK siri.
So my problem has not been fixed. Also ive tried using the enhanced quality and still dont work the UK siri voice is still fuzzy.
Does anyone know when Apple will fix this problem?

It sounds like your mom is already due for an upgrade, while you have to wait till December. Your mother has a perfectly good solution to tide you over till you can get an iPhone 6 as well.
you only have to live with the 5c for a short time. Stick a good case on it so the screen can't pop out and be good to it till you can upgrade.

Ipod problem... someone anyone please read and help

Hi all,
I have an older 3rd generation ipod (ipod with dock) 20 GB as well as windows XP. I had an older version of itunes that erased my ipod; however I downloaded the latest version of itunes and updated my ipod software this morning. I plugged the ipod back into my computer and when i checked in "my computer" it still showed that the songs were in the hard drive (~14 GB) so i got excited and when i safely removed the ipod they were not in the display. So i plugged the ipod back in and itunes 7.3.2 created a playlist in my name and loaded surprise surprise a playlistwith 6GB of random songs... So now itunes views my ipod as full and i only see 6GB of music instead of what it should be 14 GB. I hope this doesnt sound crazy. If someone knows what this is please reply. Thank you so much
I tried to reset my ipod and that didnt work..
THANKS IN ADVANCE
