Reader Closes on any Keyboard input

Has anyone had this problem?
Reader closes on any keyboard input.
Mouse works fine. And I mean any keyboard action at anytime.
I have tried uninstalling all adobe reader apps/plugins and reinstalling the latest available version but still Reader closes with any keyboard input. Make opening password protected PDF's impossible. The "find" function unusable.
Any Ideas?

Are you trying to run your application through TextPad, or some IDE? The System.in is best for command prompt input. Trying running your program through the command prompt, and it should work fine.
I replicated your error, running your application through TextPad.

HttpServer error in reading buffer size via keyboard input - HELP

I've written a simple HttpServer program that reads keyboard input to construct a buffer to copy the requested file into the socket's output stream. I've done the string-to-integer conversion using BufferedReader and parse.Int. However, when I go to use the int later in the program, I keep getting the message "variable b may not have been initialized." Can anyone tell me what's missing from the code below? Thanks.
private static void sendBytes(FileInputStream fis, OutputStream os)throws Exception
     //Construct a buffer via console input
     BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
     String str;
     int b;
          System.out.println("Enter desired buffer size or CTRL-C to break.");
     //Convert entry to an integer
     do
          str = br.readLine();
             try
               b = Integer.parseInt(str);
          catch(NumberFormatException e)
               System.out.println("Invalid entry.");
     while((str=br.readLine())!=null);
     //Construct a buffer
     byte[] buffer = new byte;
     int bytes = 0;
     //Begin timing HTML page delivery
     long start, end;
          System.out.println("Timing for Web page delivery");
     start = System.currentTimeMillis();
     //Copy requested file into the socket's output stream
          while((bytes = fis.read(buffer)) != -1)
          os.write(buffer, 0, bytes);

As the message suggests, what is missing is code to initialize the variable b. The first mention ("int b;") does not initialize it. The second mention ("b = Integer.parseInt(str);") only initializes it if no exception is thrown. So it's possible for b to be uninitialized when you actually try to use it.
What do you need to change? First you need to decide what's to be done if the keyboard input isn't a valid integer. Do you have a default value in mind? If so, put that where you declare the variable ("int b = 42;"). If not, just initialize the variable to zero ("int b = 0;").

After upgrading to FF4 for Mac OSX.5.8 the Flash-based website builder WIX will not register any keyboard inputs; eg i cannot type in a title or use command+z to undo something, Why is this?

I am using a MacBook Pro with OSX.5.8 installed. I just upgraded to FF4. I have been previously using the online website builder WIX and now when i open up my website to edit it in a separate browser window it does not register my keystrokes. I can edit with the mouse and make changes but i cant type in any titles or names for save files or anything. Shortcut keystorkes like command+z also do not work.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Adobe Reader 10.1.2 not recognising keyboard input

Hi,
I'm having a problem with Adobe Reader X on Windows 7 Ultimate. Adobe Reader is not recognising any keyboard input, so I'm unable to type in a page number to jump to that page, the alt key doesn't bring up the menu, even Alt+F4 doesn't close the application etc. Has anybody experienced this problem, and if so, is there a solution out there?
I've tried both repairing the installation, and doing a new install, both of which have failed to rectify the problem.
Thanks.

Sorry for the confusion. Please try the following steps:
1. Launch Notepad and type in following:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe\OpenWithList]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.exe\OpenWithProgids]
"exefile"=hex(0):
2. Click on File > Save As
3. In the new dialog that appears:
Select All Files in the Save as type list, and then type C:\Exe.reg in the File name box.
Select Unicode in the Encoding list. Save it and remember the file location.
4. Open My Computer and double click on the C: icon
5. You will see a file by the name of "Exe.reg". Double click on the same and click Yes on any dialog that appears.
6. Once completed, restart the computer and your problem should be resolved.

Spaces locks keyboard input

Per Sean Dale1, the following was mis-posted in the 10.5 Leopard thread (original post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2201088):
Have been running into this problem more and more frequently on both a MacBook Pro and Mac Pro tower running 10.6.1 and 10.6.2: when I Control-right-arrow to move to my other "space" one or two of two bad things will happen:
(1) the icon in the middle-bottom of the screen showing which "space" I'm in does NOT fade away and disappear
(2) I am prevented from doing ANY keyboard-input into my programs there. I will be able to click and highlight windows using the mouse, as well as see menus activating and such, but anywhere there is a text field (browser or address book or ANYwhere) keyboard input is not displayed.
The only solution is to go into the Activity Monitor and quit the Dock application.
Have been seeing this problem for a few weeks which persists through reboots and such.
Ideas?

This issue is being covered in more detail at this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2161076
This suddenly started happening to me yesterday and now happens every time I switch Spaces with the keyboard. I've found that the only way around it is to only use the menubar icon to switch. Because I'm so used to clicking keys to switch Spaces and still do it unconsciously, I've disabled the keys in Spaces prefs.

Installed rdesktop - but keyboard input still goes to Mac Terminal??

My work PC has been "upgraded" to Windows 7 which made the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection v2.0.1 stop working (it connects OK, I can login and see my work PC screen, but as soon as I try to do something I am "disconnected" from the PC). I can't install RDC 2.1 because I have a PPC G5.
So I searched for alternative remote desktop apps. Cord 0.5.0 crashes on my machine and 0.5.5 won't even start up.
I ended up installing rdesktop (www.rdesktop.org)
It looks promising - very fast, and gets me to my PC login screen. My mouse pointer can click on the screen buttons, but any keyboard input appears in my G5 Terminal window and is not sent to the Windows 7 PC. This makes it impossible to enter my Windows 7 password to login!
I'm sure this is a simple problem to solve but I have no idea on how to solve it.
Any clues appreciated. Thanks.

Try:
rdesktop -x m -r clipboard:"CLIPBOARD" -g 1280x1024 -u<username> <hostip>
I do recommend using ssh tunnel for RDP over internet. Is more secure and limits open ports to only ssh port in firewall.
There are instructions about on how to use cygwin with RSA key login, turn off ssh password login when working properly.

Solaris 10 8/07 Install hangs awaiting keyboard input

I have a W2100z Java Workstation that I am trying to install S10 8/07 on. When it first powers up, I get the standard bios prompts and can hit F2/F8 to customize things as I wish.
However, when I start the Solaris install from CD, after the OS installer is loaded, it first prompts for 1, 2, 3, 4, ... choices (1 being an interactive install). No amount of keyboard punching seemed to get it to make a choice. So after about 30 seconds or so, it times out and presumes interactive install.
After a bit, it loads a text-based window to let me choose a language. Just move the cursor around, select a language, and then hit F2 to continue. Unfortunately, it does not recognize any keyboard input and just sits there comatose for as long as I choose to wait.
So, perhaps I have a keyboard issue, so I swapped out a Kensington for a Dell keyboard. That didn't work so I acquired a Sun keyboard. That doesn't work either. I've also plugged the keyboard into every USB slot I could find (two on the front and 3 on the back), all to no avail.
Now, Solaris 11 from the SXDE has no problem booting and installing on this computer with all of those keyboards. Unfortunately, that is academic in that I need to run S10.
So what is the magic to getting the W2100z to boot/install Solaris 10?

After much gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair, I found an BIOS upgrade for the W2100z. The keyboard now is recognized and the bits are installing.

Keyboard input lost on desktop actions

If I change the name of a file on the desktop, I find that often this can result in complete loss of keyboard input as far as file names are concerned – i.e., it becomes impossible to change file names, name new files or make any keyboard input whatsoever. This can happen almost at once, or after an indeterminate number of file names have been changed; there seems to be no pattern or logic to the phenomenon. Suggestions?

I am having a hard time finding any common thread to this event. The last time it occurred, last night, I was running the following applications:
Firefox v 2.0.0.1
Entourage v 11
Word 2004 v 11
Photoshop CS v 8
Preview v 3.0.7
QuickTime v 7.1.3
Silverfast launcher v 2.1.2
Microtek Scanner Finder v 3.24
Otherwise:
Startup item: Microtek Scanner Finder v 3.24
APE extensions: Don't think any; I don't recognise the term.
Attachments: Printer (Epson Pro 3800), Scanner (Microtek i800), external hard drive, USB modem. However, I had these attachments even before the problem cropped up.
Finally, I have also run repairs and permissions corrections from Disk Utility without discovering any problems.
Many thanks for your help!

[SOLVED] wmii ignores all keyboard input

I'm trying to use wmii on my new arch install. No matter which of the wmiircs I use, it never accepts any keyboard input to switch tags, open windows or anything else. The clock is correctly updated and if I open a window using DISPLAY=:1 from another terminal, I can move it around with the mouse. Evilwm is working fine and the only error in Xorg.0.log is related to fbdev. Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong here?
EDIT: Just a major PEBKAC. I forgot that Win is the new default modkey and wmii didn't ask me because xmessage wasn't installed.

Anyone have any ideas? I tried reinstalling base and base-devel through pacman...still no relief.... This is bizarre.
EDIT: It's getting worse. System now hangs on boot at "Waiting for UDev uevents to be processed." Things are rapidly going downhill.
EDIT: No booting due to Udev fixed my booting without acpi. I rebooted into another linux distro to poke around in /var/log/pacman.log for a bit to see if I could find the offending update. Nothing seemed really suspicious, except for the update to "linux-api-headers." (Anything with "headers" is suspicious. So, I decided I would boot back into Arch and try to downgrade that package. After booting back into Arch, I see that the problem has disappeared...so...I dunno what to say...I have no idea what/how this got fixed, or how I (yes, let's be honest here...it must be "I") broke it in the first place.

I have a macmini on order, I wonder if I can pair the wireless apple keyboard and magic touchpad without using any other input devices, especially, since everything is brand new and not yet paired.

You may just want to save yourself any possible issues
by just hooking up a wired keyboard and mouse on first
start up. Any USB keyboard and mouse should work.
There have been many that have had problems on first boot
using the Bluetooth devices.

Changing file extensions disables any finder keyboard input

Hi all,
Well, i just said it. Oftentimes (very often) when I change a file extensions, after clicking yes to the most annoying confirmation dialog a web designer can find on OSX, the finder stops receiving any input from the keyboard.
What happens is that after the extension change, I can select file names and do everything the mouse can do in the finder, but no keyboard input is received, I just cannot type any character whatsoever.
Anyone with the same problem? A solution? A hint?
I'm on Tiger 10.4.5, xtools2 installed.
PowerBook G4 15'' 1GHz (512MB RAM) Mac OS X (10.4.5) iPod 3G (40GB), External FireWire HD (20GB)

Have you tried trashing Finder prefs? Navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then log out and back in again. Or restart.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

[Solved] Programs hang on keyboard input (uim-xim)

Update: I've narrowed the issue down (via trial and error) to uim-xim. If it's running, it causes this problem (in XMonad) and if it isn't, gnucash has no issues. Oddly enough, when I start uim-xim by hand after gnucash, it works fine too. Starting uim-xim by hand before gnucash results in the same issue, and so I'm inclined to believe it's either an issue with XIM implementation, or simply uim-xim. Might also be a mixture of XMonad and uim-xim, as it works fine in Openbox.
I've noticed lately that certain GTK programs (I'd list them, but I haven't paid close attention until today, where I was using gnucash) work fine until I try to input anything via the keyboard. The moment I start typing (or, at the latest when I hit the shift key or backspace key) the program will hang (without any error message). I originally assumed that this was an issue with the program - not my window manager. However, I tried one of the problem programs (gnucash) in Openbox today, and it works just fine. That leads me to assume it's caused by my configuration in some way. I have absolutely no idea where to start debugging this issue.
A bit of information:
I use UIM (in both openbox and XMonad with identical configurations), run a script for a Japanese date format in XMonad (piped to dzen), and load the same xmodmap file in both window managers. Also, I start all my window managers using CDM (Console Display Manager), but in the case of XMonad I supply a bash script instead of the binary, in order to preload certain files. Also, I use a german keyboard layout.

Safari 7.1 blocks all keyboard input in Flash app

Safari 7.1 on OSX 10.9.5 blocks any and all keyboard input for FlashPlayer applications!! Everything worked fine until the upgrade to Safari 7.1 and OSX 10.9.5. Tried FlashPlayer 14 and the latest 15 -- still no keyboard input, not even in debug mode (I'm a developer of enterprise apps for browsers).
The same app still works just fine in Firefox and Google Chrome! Is this just a mishap on Apple's side? Or just another hit to kill off the most productive computer language I've ever used (and I used Apple's own Objective-C as well)??
Come on Apple! I love you guys and use your products a lot, but is this really necessary for the most powerful and valuable company in the world -- to hurt a language with such tricks that doesn't do you any harm at all?? This makes you look more like the "PC guy" from your own former commercials (instead of the lovable "Mac guy") ...

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.
