Shift keys on thinkpad twist not working with certain keys

My shift keys stopped working with certain keys. asdfjkl;'zxcvm,. Those are the letters and symbols that my shift key stopped working with. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Okay, do the following.
1) Go into your control panel. You can get into this by either pressing Windows key + E, or search for control panel in the 'Search' box.
2) Now select View By, and choose 'Large Icon' or 'Small Icon', which is on the top right corner of the Control Panel screen.
3) Select 'Ease of Access Center'. Or you can skip step 1 and 2, by directly typing 'Ease of Access Center' in the search.
4) Select 'Make the Keyboard easier to use'.
5) Make sure you unselect 'Turn on Filter Keys' option.
3)

Shift key not working with some keys

I am using a MAC Pro with two hard drives. One runs Leopard and the other MS windows. while in windows, the birghtness key illuminated (f2 key) and suddenly the shift 2, w, s, x keys quit working. I decided to reboot and while holding the option key to boot into windows, the system did not recognize the option key and booted me into Leopard. so now I notice the shift 2, w, s, x, and option key are not working. Any suggestions? Also, the brightness icon is still lit up on my screen and I am not able to make it go away or even adjust...

I'm having this same exact issue. Anyone know of a fix? Is it possible junk in the keyboard?
I tested my keys using the keyboard viewer, and when I hit function it recognizes it, but it doesn't when it is loading.

Key fn + Backspace does not work with apple wireless keyboard

Hello,
I want to user the WIndows Key DEL. However, the apple wireless keyboard dosn't have such a key. I read, that FN + Backspace will solve this. It does not work on my apple wireless keyboard. I'm using BootCamp 3.2 and WIndows XP, running on a Mac Mini 2010.
In addition, I also read, that FN + Cursor Left sould work like POS1. But this doesn't work, too.
Windows shows for the keyboard: Deutsch (Apple)

Keyboard not working on certain keys....help please???

Ok so yesterday while using my Macbook, my idiot friend spills some beer on the keyboard. We very quickly wipe it all off, tilt the computer so any excess runs out from the side, and the thing still ran. We continued using it for about an hour and all the keys were working and everything was fine.
I then left his house, shut the computer down and brought it home w/ me. I got home later, turned the laptop on, and it still worked, but a few keys aren't working (right where the beer was spilled). The Enter (Return) key, the Shift key below it, and the "\" key.
So I waited overnight to see it that helped and it is still not working. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm out of warranty and doubt beer spill would be covered anyways. If I have to get it repaired, any idea the cost of something like this? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Any other options if the cleaning part doesn't work? Anyone? I can't afford $1,000 to get this fixed AT ALL.
If cleaning doesn't work, the only thing to be done is replace the keyboard. That's a heck of a lot cheaper than $1000 (but keep in mine, if you have damage inside, cleaning/replacing the keyboard isn't going to be the whole fix). If you definitely decide to buy a new keyboard, I'd take the old keyboard off and soak it in distilled water for a day or two, periodically working the problem keys, then tilt/shake it every which way to get as much water out as possible, then let it dry for a few days, until there's no possibility of moisture remaining inside. If it still doesn't work, nothing lost, as you were buying a new keyboard anyway.
You may also want to consider a BlueTooth/wireless keyboard. Sure, it's something else to carry around (if portability is an issue), but Apple's BT keyboard is about as small/light as possible. Something to consider.

Keyboard not working for certain key(s)

I am wondering if anyone else has had this issue yet. I have an iPhone 8GB running Software Version 1.1.4. When using the keyboard in landscape mode (so basically, using Safari) the key that is represents "U" and "7" does not work. To test this, I run my finger over across the top row and that key is definitely skipped.
This does NOT happen when the keyboard is in portrait mode.
...This seems like a SW issue, but could it possibly be a dead touch sensor in the vicinity of the key?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.

Print function is not working with certain websites, specifically PNC bank

When trying to print on specific websites, all that is printed is a blank page, no content. This specifically happens on PNC website, but has occurred on others as well.

Hi vermontgolfer,
I am sorry to hear that the printing is not working for this website. If you go to about:permissions and look for the website name you can check to see if there are any saved preferences that may be causing this.
Since they are printing blank pages, please make sure that you have updated to version 29.0.1 as this was a bug in pdf.js that was fixed with this update. If you are not using pdf.js you can reset the printing settings with these references: [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]

Option Key for Boot Camp not working with New iMac Keyboard

Hi, I own a early 2006 Intel iMac. Recently, my wife complained that the keyboard was getting dirty. Basically I think she liked the new keyboard on the new Aluminum iMac better. We purchased it back in August and everything worked great. Oh I also had the beta version of Boot Camp installed. Everything worked great, hold Option down on boot and could choose which OS to go into.
Fast forward to now, purchased Leopard and love it! Decided to wipe the system and do a fresh install. Everything is installed (Leopard, Boot Camp, Windows XP) and working great, that is except when I press and hold the Option key at start up. If I have the new keyboard installed, the Option key does not bring up the boot manager. However if I plug the original keyboard in and hold Option, it works!!!
Ok I could see a problem if the new keyboard was NOT an Apple product. But it is and frustraiting as I can use the control panel to choose. This is a long round about method and does not make a happy wife with me. HELP!
Jhan Jensen

Thanks for the info! I was about to call myself and I may still do so. I am hoping if Apple gets enough of these calls then maybe it will spur them on to get it done sooner. (Apple are you listening) I will do the same with the KB swapping, she will be happy at least she can still use the new keyboard. She types a lot and has be really happy with the new keyboard and its response.
Thanks again for the help!!!

SQL Login "disabled" flag does not work with asymmetric key??

If I create a normal interactive SQL login, the Disabled flag for the login controls whether that user can log in with the login name and password. For example,
ALTER LOGIN MyUser DISABLE
will prevent anyone from logging in with this MyUser login.
However if I create a SQL login FROM ASYMMETRIC KEY, the Disabled flag for the login seems to have no effect. For example, assemblies in executable files from which the asymmetric key was created can still be used even if the login is "disabled".
Is this by design? If so, why?
It would seem to me that if a login is disabled, no rights granted to that login should be accessible, including "GRANT EXTERNAL ACCESS ASSEMBLY TO ..." and "GRANT UNSAFE ASSEMBLY TO..."
(I suspect that disabling a login will also have no effect on execution of stored procedures signed with that login's asymmetric key either, though I have not test this.)
Can someone please comment on this behavior?

Disabling a Login has no effect on Permissions.
The only thing it prevents, is the interactive process of “logging in”.
That Login can still be impersonated also. – And this is in fact important to know(!).
That’s also in BOL (ALTER LOGIN):

Pidgin, suddenly not working with danish keys?

Hi all.
Has something changed in the recent version of Pidgin? Cause suddenly my danish keys: Ø Æ Å doesnt work in Pidgin, actually it seems my intire DANISH keyboard is a US/UK model in Pidgin, but only in Pidgin?
Everything works fine i consol/any term, or any other X app for that matter.
Can't seem to find any konfiguration in Pidgin for it??

I noticed this too - especially in Pidgin but also in Firefox. Restarting the application helped. For now I think I've solved it by letting hal and evdev manage my keyboard.
So instead of setting AutoAddDevices to False in xorg.conf, I've put hal in my DAEMONS array in rc.conf, copied /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi and changed "us" to "dk". As said I've experienced no problems since.
Also it seems I don't need neither xf86-input-mouse nor xf86-input-keyboard. I'm not sure on that, but I've deinstalled them and everything is fine.
Edit: Also, I no more need Option "XkbLayout" "dk" in xorg.conf. Probably I don't need most of it or any of it.

Allow privilleged users to enter into EXEC mode on login not working with public keys

Hi,
I have recently updated one of my Cisco ASA to v9.2(1) and noticed a function to get the perform authorization for exec shell access can do a auto-enable when logging in from ssh.
The problem is that if I use a private/public key authentication with a user it won't do the auto-enable feature. If I login without keys and using my password, it jumps into privilleged exec mode as it should.
Anyone else had this issue?
Config:
aaa authentication ssh console LOCAL
aaa authorization exec LOCAL auto-enable
username user password xxxxxx encrypted privilege 15
username user attributes
ssh authentication publickey 22:af:xxxxxx hashed
Any answer will be highly appreciated.
P.S I'm totally new in this forum.

Would you be able to open a TAC SR and once you do , Email me the SR no and i will look into this issue.

Lightning to VGA Adapter not working with certain apps

I've recently noticed that I can't watch movies on Netlix any more with my Lightning to VGA Adapter going to an LCD monitor. It works just fine with other apps just not Netflix. Apple says it is a Netflix app problem, and Netlix doesn't want to admit it's anything wrong with their app. Any one else have this problem? Is there a solution?

Sender FTP Adapter not working with certain name

Hello,
We're facing the next problem within XI.
We configured a sender FTP adapter within the central adapter engine. This adapter is configured correctly however for some reason it is not picking up any file from the FTP server.
Changing status to inactive-> active again all kinds of modes and configs we tested.
However when copying this non-working adapter to a new one with a different name (Configuration is exactly the same!!!!!) and use this one in the sender agreement it worked immediately.
Somebody else faced similar problems and managed to solve it because for this error we don't want to adjust our naming conventions....
Thanks,

Hi Emile,
This could happen when AE cache is not getting updated.
Goto SXI_CACHE.
Click "Goto" -> AE Cache and check if you get a green symbol with a message saying " Cache contents are up-to-date".

CFIMAGE not working with certain JPG

Hi all,
Got an emergency here, hope anyone can help.
I find that more and more people are encountering problems using CFIMAGE -- no error is thrown when reading/saving certain jpg images, but the result image is just blank and gray.
The code is just simple:
<CFSET IM=ImageRead("C:\DSCN1570.JPG")>
<cfset ImageResize(IM,300,200,"highPerformance")>
<cfset ImageWrite(IM,"C:\DSCN1570-2.JPG")>
or even just:
<CFSET IM=ImageRead("C:\DSCN1570.JPG")>
<cfset ImageWrite(IM,"C:\DSCN1570-2.JPG")>
This happens after applying the latest hotfix for 8.0.1 (Cumulative Hotfix 2 for CF 8.0.1). If this patch is not installed the processing works.
Attached is an offending file. The code works if i replace the file with another jpg.
Any help is much appreciated. I'm running CF 8,0,1,195765 devt edition on Windows XP and my java version is 1.6.0_04. My metadata-extractor is 2.3.1.
Thanks,
Andrew

Yeah, sorry: missed the bit - that BKBK pointed out - about you saying you did some testing. To be honest, I would never release code into production without load-testing it first. Especially something that's perhaps already red-flagged as being a risk. Of course there was no real reason for you to think that the previously fixed issue had been regressed. So not - perhaps - a red flag. maybe just an amber one.
I don't believe load testing is a "nice to have", it's essential. In the past I just slapped my code into production after a bit of a click round to make sure it all seemed to work. Then we released some code which worked fine whilst only one person was accessing it, but had some severe logic flaws in it which made it fail - in a data-destroying sort of way - which caused us an awful lot of issues with the client (which in turn got me shouted @ by the boss), not to mention wasted time fixing everything.
That lead me to investigate whether we could have found that sort of thing had we load-tested: yes. Easily. Lesson learned. It also turned up a few other things we didn't notice which were easy tweaks which improved the performance of the app, and made the client happy again.
But anyway, that's just something to think about for future reference, I guess. I fully understand what you mean about time constraints often preventing one from taking the perfect foolproof approach to things: we've all done that. Just sux you got caught out by it.
As for bringing it to Adobe's attention... go here: http://cfbugs.adobe.com/cfbugreport/flexbugui/cfbugtracker/main.html.
It'd help if you could contrive a stand-alone test rig that can be made to fail under load.

Safari not working with certain sites

Not sure if this is related to the Java issues posted but i just upgraded to safari 4.0.1 and sites that worked before do not now. eg. try http://www1.parknshop.com/WebShop/DeliveryDetails.do;jsessionid=Iaded68owLIVUKAj LPJq2rfCD32wI1yDld0aLztDN7bQfohwQsk2!817254534. you can log on but when you actually try to shop and add things to the basket it doesnt work. if you keep hitting "refresh" then the images start to pop up but obviously cant keep doing this. all worked fine in safari 3.

I don't know if you are still having the problems or not but I have fixed them on my Macbook. The problem was a Java issue and not Safari. I guess the Java update and Safari 4.0.1 updates were installed at the same time on my machine. I did an archive and install then updated everything except Java and Safari. At that point, with Safari 3.2.3, everything worked like it should. So I installed the Java update and Safari 3.2.3 was still working like it should. So I installed Safari 4.0.2. Still working like it should. I did find some information after I did the archive and install that said reinstalling the Java update can possibly fix the problem. So I would try that before doing anything else. The Java update can be found here.
