Problems with quick keyboard input?

Solved... apparently WhatsApp is to blame. Found a hint in the BlackBerry Classic users forum that might be related to a memory leak. Deleted it and instantly all my problems were resolved... hmm....

Curious if any non-Q10 owners experience this? If you don't have a Q10, please try the actions below which cause trouble (typing while receiving a text message or BBM, or typing immediately affter hitting send) and let me know if the behavior is the same on non Q10's? I type very quickly on my Q10 keyboard. Often time while entering text, say in a text message or BBM conversation, I will hit enter to send and begin writing again. With any iPhone or Android you would just keep typing. Half the time I need to re-select the text box to keep typing again, or it does begin to enter and a few characters echo on the screen, and then the device freezes for a seecond and then the text box is empty, although the phone operates normally after that. Is it a known issue for BB10 to lock up like this, and is the needing to re-select the text box after sending default behavior? I haven't found a way to disable it and it's very annoying. P.S. am i the only one who can almost never manage to hit the X in the circle on the browser to clear the url? i have to hold delete most of the time...

Problem with Bluetooth Keyboard and Lion?

I've just purchased a 21" imac running os x lion 10.7.3 and although the mac sees the keyboard when I set up the Keyboard from system prefs, it says 'keyboard cannot be found even though the Bluetooth prefs says it's there'.
Second, there's an on/off button on the right hand side which glows green for a second when it's pushed, and ditto if you push it again, so I don't know if the keyboard is on or off! Surely it should glow grren when ON and not when OFF or is there a problem with the keyboard itself?

Is the KB working on the system or not?

That is the way it is designed. When you turn the KB on, the light is on for a brief period of time. It does not stay on.

Problem with wireless keyboard and wireless mouse

All of a sudden, after more than 6 mos., I am having problems with both the wireless keyboard and wireless mouse. I am getting a "connection lost" message on the screen with a picture of the keyboard. It only stays there a few seconds, disappears, then the keyboard is ok again.
The mouse is even more frustrating. I am not using the ball for scrolling, just moving the mouse to move the pointer. It will be working perfectly, then for 15 to 30 seconds will either not respond, or be extremely slow, then be ok again. This has repeated a number of times today, especially when I am in iTunes. The batteries are fine in both devices, since I had the problem, changed the batteries, and still have these problems. Any ideas?

Brian, I called Apple and I think they fixed the problem with the keyboard. Unfortunately, I did not write down the exact keystroke sequence they gave me, but let me tell you what I did. I unplugged the computer and waited 60 seconds. After I plugged in back in, I was told to immediately hold down 4 keys. I think they were something like Ctrl, Command, Shift, and R. Those may not be the exact keys, maybe it was Option instead of Ctrl, and maybe R is not right. I am not sure. Those keys are held down until the second beep is heard after the computer was turned on. Supposedly, this re-established connections between the computer and the keyboard. Sorry I did not write down the key combination. If you can, call Apple and get the proper key stroke combination

[K8N NEO3-F] Problem with USB keyboard and PS2 mouse after upgrading BIOS

Hello everyone!
I have upgraded BIOS from 1.1 to 1.4... I have Sempron 2600 (64bit) so BIOS v.1.1 did not recognise it.
The motherboard works, but after upgrading I have a small problem with my keyboard and mouse.
When I use USB keyboard my PS2 mouse doesn't work. When I connect PS2 keyboard mouse works!!!
Can you tell me what's wrong?
Thanks, bartull@
PS. Does BIOS v.1.3 recognise Sempron 64bit? Can you give me a link to it?

I think that the problem may have been caused by flashing either with liveupdate or with winflash. I had the problem when i used winflash correctly (shutting down all programs, checking all the boxes to clear bootblock and cmos) but had usb keyboard connected during flash. My suggestion is to reflash with floppy to last bios version that worked using only ps2 mouse and keyboard with the following instructions:
DOS floppy flash shall be performed with :
awfl833d.exe w7030nms.180 /py /sn /wb /cc /cd /cp /f /e
(Replace biosfilename with appropriate version for Neo1/neo2 etc , switches remain the same )
After flash is complete :
TURN OFF PSU (don't restart) wait 15 seconds
Turn on again , press the power button .
Enter BIOS and load optimized defaults (NO OTHER CHANGES) , save + exit
Boot the system again with the floppy in the drive to let the DMI pool build and update itself .
If that works, then reflash to the bios you tried before with the same procedure. Once you have stable system with ps2 keyboard and mouse working, re-enter bios and enable usb and keyboard support as a lot of bios' have it disabled by default for some strange reason.
Good luck.

GT70 Dominator Dragon, Problems with Quick buttons ( Help)

Hi my friends, first sorry my engliash its really bad.
Have a little problem with the quick buttons of my GT70 Dominator Dragon. Have a moth with the Pc and I really love it, all work fine but when I update the Pc some quick buttoms stop working.
where can find the new drivers? of how I can fix this??
Here a photo with the problems
Ty all and sorry again

EC reset only needs once, just by removing the battery and the AC adapter and wait for few minutes then plug the AC adapter back on and restart the system.
If you have pre-installed Win8.1, then the first video button should have Power DVD 10 running after pressing. (Only if you don't have the Power DVD software, then it'll show the windows media player.)
G buttons will only work if you have the application installed.
Display off button, G button and the video play buttons will need the right EC firmware and the SCM drivers (plus the right application installed)
Check if you have the latest EC firmware in BIOS menu. (Press Delete button after MSI logo shows up during the bootup to enter the BIOS menu> Main> System Information> EC version)
Full color backlight keyboard (516) *check your current version and make sure after update, the version name is also starts with the same number 5XX.

Mapping problem with Wireless Keyboard and Japanese iPhone

Hi everyone:
This seems to be a slightly obscure question -- at least, I can't find a ready answer for it with the search terms I've tried, possibly because most people don't use this particular accessory with the iPhone.
I have an iPhone 4 that I bought from and use on Softbank, the carrier in Japan, where I live. While visiting the United States recently, I bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard from an Apple retailer. I wanted to carry it with me for use with my iPhone, so I would reliably have a convenient way to access the Internet without being confined to the touchscreen keyboard. (I live in a rural area where WiFi spots are uncommon, but my iPhone's access to Softbank's data network is fairly good and consistent.)
However, to my frustration, I can't use the keyboard due to a mapping problem. The Bluetooth connection is fine -- the iPhone can discover the keyboard. However, the mapping is off: typing "Q" gets me "A," typing "Z" gets me "W", numbers and punctuation are off, etc. The key point: This is NOT a problem with the International Keyboard settings (under the Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> International Keyboards menu). I have the Keyboard setting set to QWERTY, which is the layout of the Apple keyboard; I have tried all the other possibilities, just in case. None of them work. Setting the Keyboard setting to QWERTY does not make the external QWERTY keyboard map correctly.
The rather ironic addendum is this: While on a recent trip to Tokyo, I visited the Apple store in Shibuya and, after concluding the main business of my visit (discussing my MacBook's battery problems with an English-speaking staffer), I took out my iPhone and keyboard and asked him about my mapping problem. He started with the Keyboard menu, tried the same things I had tried, realized they weren't working, and puzzled over the problem for a while. Then he did this: He hit a key combination (I believe) that brought up a menu on the iPhone's screen. "Ah, there's your problem," he said, and selected a new setting. The problem was instantly fixed.
To my chagrin, however, I neglected to write down what "Ken" had done to fix the problem. Argh... I was looking at the iPhone upside-down; I'd already taken up more than half an hour; people were waiting, and I guess, being used to living in the countryside now, that I'm not used to Shibuya crowds any more. Anyway, I didn't take careful notes or ask him to walk me through it, and now I cannot recall or repeat what he did. And I still can't use my keyboard!
Any ideas or advice, anyone? How did "Ken" fix my problem, and how can I repeat it? Much, much appreciated, in advance.

THAT'S IT. Sir, you have solved my problem. Thank you!!
And I feel a little silly; this will doubtless seem to an expert as if it should have been obvious all along. But isn't that always the way in hindsight?
Here's what happened: The key combination I was trying to remember was "Apple/command + space on the hardware keyboard," as you just said above. The "menu" it brings up is, apparently, a list of keyboards. I take it that this list is the same as the list of the "virtual" keyboards on the iPhone? I have never had more than one external keyboard -- the Apple Wireless -- but I do have several keyboards active virtually, as the iPhone in Japan seems to come with both the "Nihongo Ten-key" and the "Nihongo Romaji" keyboards active, and I added several other languages as well.
When I hit "Apple/command + space," this list comes up on the iPhone's touchscreen. Highlighted and checked at the top is "English," just as if it had been selected all along. But nonetheless, when I first turn on and pair my keyboard with the iPhone, I need to perform this key-combination action, as if to "reselect" English, and then the keyboard promptly starts working properly as QWERTY. I can only assume that one of the others had been default-selected before -- presumably one of the Nihongo ones? -- and that this was causing the interference.
Thank you again! You have made me and my wireless keyboard very happy.

I have a problem with my keyboard in Flash App on Android.

I have a problem with my Flash App on Android, this app requires installing Adobe Air on Android before running. The keyboard pushing issue has troubled me for a while however I can't find a solution.
As you know, while triggering any text box, the keyboard, no matter built-in one or others will push the screen up to a few then you can see what you are typing. However, on my app, when I trigger the built-in keyboard, it covers the half screen meanwhile I can't see what I am typing.
Could anyone can give a light so I can completely this problem for 2 years? Is this something I can do with action script or Flash?
Thank you.

If you have a suggestion or answer feel free to leave a message as I will continue to check back here. Thanks.

Problem with ear bud input.

I assume it's a problem with my ear phone input, because i just bought a new pair of earbuds, and its only playing out of one ear bud. Do i need to send it in to get it fixed or what?

If the earbuds work correctly on another device then you have a broken headphone jack and need to send it in for service or take it to the nearest Apple Store.

Problem with Virtual Keyboard in Apple Apps?

I am using an iPad 3 and have had Numbers and Pages apps since my iPad 1. I am suddenly having a problem with the virtual keyboard covering/hiding the text box where you type. For example, in Numbers: I double tap to type something in a cell and the keyboard comes up but the text box where it shows what you are typing is behind the keyboard. I haven't seen anyone else mention this problem. I have tried it both in landscape and letter orientation. I have deleted the app from my iPad and reinstalled it but that doesn't change anything. This is also happening in these apps on my iPhone 5. This started happening after the last OS upgrade. Anyone have any ideas? Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

No, I haven't seen that on iOS 6.
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".

I had that a few days ago, couldn't reproduce it. I was also running xfce4. I havn't had it today and im running xfdesktop+xfce-mcs-manager+pekwm+xfce4-panel... so it may have been xfwm4.

Problem with quick entry autofill for Things application

I use Firefox as my standard browser and the application Things for my task management. Until recently I could easily use the quick entry autofill function (ctrl alt space) to copy a link to a task in Things. This suddenly stopped working. I contacted Things support, thinking it was a problem with their application, but it appears Firefox is the culprit (that was found in the output from my Mac's console and I also found that in Safari the shortkey still works). I am updated to the latest version and would really like to keep using Firefox.
This was the output from my Mac's console:
27-10-14 18:10:00,766 Things Helper[268]: AppleScript execution error: NSAppleScriptErrorMessage = Firefox got an error: Can’t get «class curl» of window 1.
27-10-14 18:10:00,766 Things Helper[268]: AppleScript execution error: NSAppleScriptErrorRange = NSRange: {118, 12}
27-10-14 18:10:00,766 Things Helper[268]: AppleScript execution error: NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage = Can’t get «class curl» of window 1.
27-10-14 18:10:00,767 Things Helper[268]: AppleScript execution error: NSAppleScriptErrorNumber = -1728
27-10-14 18:10:00,767 Things Helper[268]: AppleScript execution error: NSAppleScriptErrorAppName = Firefox
I hope you can help me fix this problem.
Kind regards

The bug I found about Apple Script changing the read/write permissions of api was a dead end and looks like it is till waiting to be worked on [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608049]
I am sorry I do not have any updates on this issue at this time.

Problem with quick look since 10.7.4 upgrade

Hi,
So ever since upgrading to 10.7.4 I've had a couple of new issues with quick look.
1. Often when I first open quick look the file doesn't preview but opens only a grey square where the file "should' be. If I close quick look and open it up again it works fine. This is more a nuisance and not my real concern.
2. The biggest problem seems to be relegated to pdfs: If i open a pdf in quick look and arrow up or down to search through a group of documents the heading changes file names, but the content of the preview stays on the first document I opened.
Anyone have any suggestions or experience this problem as well?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
