Return/enter key is broken, help please.

So basically, after I downloaded an update for my computer, restarted, blah blah, my enter key broke. Also, my mouse would flash randomly sometimes too, and occasionally i would type a word only for it to be highlighted for some reason and I would accidentally delete it. But my main concern is the enter key. It's making using my macbook very difficult, and I would appreciate it if someone could help. Also, I'm using a 13 inch Macbook pro from late 2012, and the update was an update for mavericks, but I can't remember it's name.

It's probably broken. I've never heard of software breaking a keys, but it's possible, so you might want to back up your data and do a clean install. If it still doesn't work , it needs to be repaired

Return/Enter key does not work in Safari/ Set up of new imac

Setting up addresses when I type an address in the url window, or like now to return to the next line, the return/ enter key is not functioning? Any help would be much appreciated. thanks John

Hi,
Try shutting down the iMac. Disconnect the keyboard. Wait about 5 minutes. Reconnect the keyboard and restart the iMac. See if the Return key works now.
If not, since it's so new, take the keyboard back for a replacement.

Inputfield with Return/Enter key

Hi,
Could someone give me hints about Inputfield with Return/Enter:
In General I'd like to press the button after Entering a value in the Inputfiled, but it is also easy to handle with Return/Enter key.
Therefor I want to have both possiblity(press Button or Return/Enter key).
How can I here implement the 2. alternativ(Return/Enter key)? - with Javaskript or possible directly in HTMLB ?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Regards,

Hi,
the label <InputField> has as agreggate submitOnEnter which triggers a server event when the cursor is in that field and you press <enter>.

IChat will not let me use Return/Enter key to send IM. Just makes sound?

OS 10.5.2. iChar launches fine. I double click name I want to send IM to. Type a message, then hit Return to send the message. It will not send. I here system sound when I use Return or Enter key on 2nd or 3rd attempts. 1st attempt, no sound. So, I can't send messages.
I repaired permissions and trashed the 4 iChat preference files in my preference folder.
Not sure what I have done but Return key is fine. Works in Skype and all other apps. iChat just does not like it so no way to send messages.
HELP.....
Thanks

Quit iChat.
Open Terminal (Applictaions/Utilities)
Copy and Paste Bold text
/Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat -errorLogLevel 7
Hit Enter.
This will cause iChat to be started up and create a Log in Terminal which may tell us more.
Do what you normally do to send text messages.
Do what you do to Quit iChat.
Grab All of the Log.
Quit Terminal.
Post log here. It will be long. If you want to split it do so around the bit that says if it found UPnP and your router's name.
Make sure the bits cross over when you post.

Launhing/Opening with "return/enter" key

One of the things that drives me insane about OSX is that when an application or file is highlighted and you hit "return/enter" it doesn't open it it just gives you the option to change the file name... useless.
Is there a way to change it so that when I hit "return/enter" it will launch the program or open the file?
Much obliged.

Moose55,
Although I don't recommend it, nor using the Return or Enter keys, you may be able to set a key, to accomplish want you want, in System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts:
In there, click on the + (Plus) tab, to add the Shortcut.
If you set an often used key, like Return or Enter, you may inadvertently, cause numerous items to open at the same time.
I suggest that you select a more obscure key.

Macbook internal keyboard return/enter key disabled

Suddenly apropos of no software changes, the enter key has stopped functioning. Is there a repair or am I going to have to buy a new upper case at $150 plus labor because one key has stopped working? I have tried an external keyboard and the external return key will work. The big problem is getting a google search to enter.....
Thanks for any comments. Unfortunately, it seems that this is a hardware problem since I have not had other issues before with keyboard freeze of any kind.

Storing rows returned back in Memory.Urgent Help please

I have a method is thats all information from the Database and I need to hold this data
in a HashMap of some sort of data structure
Lets suppose this result set returns 5 rows.I need to hold all 5 rows in a datastructure.
The variable f_OrderID is the principal and this should return back all values associated with it.
I cant use HashMap as the key:f_OrderID is always the same,
Key f_orderID
Value :f_EffTs,f_ClrAcct f_MsgSeqNum
Please can anyone help me how to store this in memory,
using the same f_OrderID but with different values?
public void getAcctChgDataFromDB(String orderNo,String indicator){
     if((rs == null) ){
                   logger.equals("No rows returned for Order No " + orderNo);
                   throw new AcctChgException("No rows returned for Order No " + orderNo );
              }else
                             while(rs.next()){
                                  f_OrderID = rs.getString("FixOrderID");
                                  f_EffTs    = rs.getString("EffTs");
                                  f_ClrAcct = rs.getString("ClrAcct");
                                  f_MsgSeqNum = rs.getString("FixMsgSeqNum");
         } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();


well i fell
List<Map<String,Object>> or
List<CustomDTOBean>could be a specific data structure which you can look for.
where List would have reference to 5 Objects(Row) and each object could be a Map or a CustomDTO.If we consider map it would be like structure something like
key=TABLE_COLUMN_NAME
value=TABLE_COLUMN_VALUE

How do i prevent the user from entering a RETURN/ENTER key into their username?

Hello,
i am currently trying to make a login system where the
username will obviously enter their username.
I have made my user input box editable and set up variables
to accept the user input and store them into variables, along with
error prevention for blank fields.
However i cannot prevent the user from hitting the
"enter"/"return" key. When i hit "enter" the user input box box
gets larger as the type curser moves onto the next line and when
the username is stored in a variable it is stored as "theuser
RETURN" so when variable is passed to the next frame and is
recalled by another text box to display the username, the user name
has a carriage return.
I want to prevent this, anyone got any suggestions? or know
of any websites i can visit which will explain this to me nicely??
Thank you

suggestion:
don't make the edit field editable right from the start.
rather attach a behaviour to the field/text-sprite like:
property mySprite, myMember
on beginsprite me
Sprite = me.spritenum
-- this is the channel-number of the editbox
myMember = mySprite.member.number
-- this is the field/text-member
member(myMember).editable = FALSE
end beginsprite
on mouseup me
-- when i get clicked for editing, then set me editable
member(mymember).editable = TRUE
the keydownscript = "MyKeyhandler"
-- this sets the keyhandler to YOUR keyhandler, see below
end mouseup
You would then need to have YOUR keyhandler in any mociesript
and there you
would block any unwished key, while editing
on MyKeyhandler
case the key of
RETURN:
stopevent;
otherwise
pass;
end case
end MyKeyhandler
in the end you would attach a behaviour to any
"Submit"-button (this is the
one that "gets" the userinput" and performs further action
according to your
wishes and decisions)
on mouseup
the keydownscript = EMPTY
-- this resets to normal
user-ID = member("Whatever the number or name of your
editfield
is").text
member("Whatever the number or name of your editfield
is").editable
= FALSE
-- any further actions to make in your project
-- to get along with the entered User-ID
end mouseup
something like this, I guess

any help would be appreciated

How does one replace carriage returns (enter key) in text areas

I have an address text area in one of my pages where end users are hitting enter after each part of the address. I want to replace the carriage return hex('0A') with spaces. How can I do that?

If you're manually saving your data, you can just change your insert/update code as below:
insert into myTable
(myCol)
values
(replace(:PXX_MY_TEXT_AREA, Chr(10), ' '))
where ...If you're building a page where you aren't directly saving your data, you can add an "on Submit/Before Computation" process that does something like:
:PXX_MY_TEXT_AREA := replace(:PXX_MY_TEXT_AREA, Chr(10), ' ');

Xperia Z2 SD Card Slot is Broken, help please

Dear support teams.
My Xperia Z2's sd card slot is broken. All of a sudden, the microsd flap was opened by itself, and the sd card popped out. Then everytime I try to insert the sd card, the slot ejects the sd card by itself.
What should I do? I don't want to bring my phone to the service center because it is notoriously bad in my country
Reply as fast as you can

Sorry to hear this but all you can do is either return your device to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

My ipod mini might be broken HELP PLEASE!!

When i push the menu button it doesnt go to the menu it doesnt do anything.....also when i hold the play button it doesnt go off....it stays on...the buttons just dont seem to be responding....ive tried resetting it but it doesnt change anything! Please help if you know anything! Thanks soo much!!

Sw33tem14,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
You might want to try the next four out of "The Five Rs" (already did the first one by resetting). The other troubleshooting technique that is not "official" is letting the battery drain completely and then recharge it till its full. While it is draining and charging, you will want to leave it alone.

Photoshop is really broken, help please

hi, i have had a problem for a while now and i am not really sure why.
My problem is using the brush tool in Photoshop, while i am using it, it is fine, there are no problems but when i unclick to stop drawing on my trackpad and try to to scroll using two fingers on my trackpad nothing happens, my artwork doesn't move until i them command click back into the photoshop window, it then goes crazy and does all of the scrolling i tried to do before i command clicked back in.
The same sort of thing is happening with a lot of the other tools, when i use the spot healing brush the area selected stays the dark grey colour until i command click back into photoshop then it will heal the area.
The lasso tool shows the selection but does not start the marching ants until i command click again. The polygon lasso tool lags behind clicks, for example, when i click nothing happens, i then click again and nothing will happen, when i click for the third time the first two dots then connect, when i click again the next dots will connect but will never connect to the last dot until i click i join the shape up and click once more, which then makes the shape disappear.
I am having the same sort of problem with the clone stamp tool, the history brush, the eraser, the blur, sharpen, smudge, dodge, burn, sponge tools, i guess any tool that has a brush size. and all of the lasso tools. All of the other tools work fine to my knowledge.
I think it has something to do with apples track pad, today i tried using a mouse and it worked fine, i could draw a line and then scroll with the little ball in the apple mouse and it worked fine, but when i drew a line on my trackpad then tried to scroll with the mouse it didn't do anything until i command clicked. i then tried to click with the mouse and use the trackpad to scroll and that also worked fine.
Im currently using photoshop CC 2014 but i also had these issues in photoshop CC and i am pretty sure in photoshop CS6.
I am using a macbook pro retina 15 these are the specs
MacBook Pro   (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
Processor   2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory   8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics   Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB
i also had the same problem with my 2012 Macbook pro 15.
i have searched for an answer to this but i can't seem to find anything on the internet, i had uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop, i have reset all of the tool preferences, and deleted all of photoshops preferences when that didn't do anything.
any help would be very much appreciated
thankyou
Matty

I'd start by checking the drivers for the trackpad are up to date if there are such things on a Mac.

PC Suite, Phone Update, now Broken, Help Please

I guess the title says it all. I posted a similar topic in another forum with no response, I guess this is the correct place for it.
In a nutshell, I had PC Suite working fine. Updated the phone software with the nokia software update tool. The next day, PC Suite is crashing, constantly.
I am running Windows XP Pro SP3 on one machine, and Vista 64 (Ultimate 64 SP1). Both are legal copies and 100% up to date on security patches.
I am running PC Suite 7.0.7.0.
The phone (Nokia 6085) is running software
V 06.01
20-05-08
RM-198
(c)Nokia
I have done very little in the way of trying to get around the problem, I went as far as to reinstall Nokia applications, I also tried removing the synchronization profiles.
I connect by either Bluetooth or USB Cable, they both produce the same result.
As soon as PC Suite sees the connected phone, it completes its current operation, then crashes.
This seemed to work fine before updating the software on the phone, I had no issues at all.
Is it normal that I should have to do some sort of cleaning and reinstall now that the software is updated?
Has anyone seen some incompatibility with this new phone software?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, on this most frustrating topic.
Thanks in advance,

Hi yes, thank you for some attention on this.
Ok, first of all, I think I'm using a different version of the software than you are. I dont have a Phone item under settings in PC Suite, and I don't have a phone section on the settings toolbox of PC Suite. I'm using version 7.0.7.0 (actually I guess that depends on how you look at it, the about dialog reports 7.0.7.0, but the file meta data tells me, 7.0.41.9). This is the most recent version of the software downloaded from the website.
OK, that out of the way, I have been able to sue communication center. It doesn't seem to be related. I have about 20 - 40 seconds after connecting the phone that the crashing occurs. In this time period, I may or may not be able to load the message center, depending on if the Synchronization Complete message shows up on the phone. Even at that, I have noticed that the communication center appears to work after the PC Suite crashes. Though I have not tested this extensively.
I can provide any amount of details you require, though I'm uncertain what else I can provide. I haven't found a stack trace or anything like that.
I have however noticed confserver.xml, which seems to map phone models to the functionality supported by that specific phone. I have also noticed that there are no definitions for my phone in that file, presumably it defaults to everything, or some default profile of (known services that work on most phones).
I wonder what type of trouble I would get into if I were to attempt to add a definitions for my phone, and try to limit the functionality on it... I notice your tagged as Mobile Guru, perhaps you know how this file works?
On a side note, the primary reason I want PC Suite to work is for deployment (from Net Beans)
Thanks, and regarding troubleshooting, if there are any procedures you would like me to try, or know how to turn on verbose logging or something, I'm all for it.
Thanks again,
Mike
