Since downloading update Caps Lock is backwards on my keyboards (both laptop and desk top)

I downloaded the the latest Firefox update and couldn't seem to log into any of my favorite sites. This was on my laptop. Now on my desktop I am experiencing the same thing.
My login is fine because I select from the dropdown menu. But if I have not saved my password for sites like my bank account etc. I cannot log in. I finally figured out it was the key board setting. With caps lock on lowercase, but with caps lock off upper case!
IMPORTANT NOTE: laptop is Windows 7, Desktop is Linix!

In two years of daily participation in these forums, I don't recall ever seeing this reported before. So no, it isn't a "known problem". I think what I'd do in your shoes is sit down and type a couple of pages of text while sitting on my left hand, to completely disrupt all my typing habits and force me to do everything with my right hand. If the problem continued to occur under those circumstances, I'd figure it was real and probably a keyboard fault. If not, I'd pay closer attention to my left hand when typing.

    Is this on wifi or cellular data?
    Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Have you gone into the email settings and making sure the password are still there?

  • Since latest update to airport extreme im getting 10 unknown base station and time capsule items showing in airport utility as a network.  when able to "forget" them they initially drop off but soon return. how do i get them deleted and stay that way

    since latest update to airport extreme im getting 10 unknown base stations and time caps showing up as though they are a part of my network. sometimes i can "forget" them and they will disappear initially but soon return. i need and want only my connection inside my home . any ideas. i have done a factory reset and set up a new network but they continue to show up.

    I'm not convinced that the problem lies in Airport Utility. This same thing was happening to me, nearly exactly as you describe it. The thing is that with me, the problems clearly started when I updated the firmware in my Airport Express (n). That's when all the wacky stuff started happening. Sometimes it would show up in AU, sometimes it didn't and even if it didn't, I could still access the internet through it.
    But as you said, the problems got really bad when another Express (b/g) was put on the network with it. Even when it did work, the (b/g) would make it impossibly slow.
    You know more about this than me, and clearly have more patience if you've restarted the network fifty times. I gave up at about ten.
    In any case, your solution is more of a work around and if you're still having that slow connection problem, I'm not sure you've got it. But thanks for your reporting of this. At least I know I'm not crazy.

  • Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes

    Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes to do a restore.  I have tried to do a reset using the sleep button and home key and all I get is a white band across the screen and then it boots into the main system but it is just a series of white lines going across the screen, how can I do a restore on this?

    Hey dbwithers,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad after attempting to update to iOS 8. To isolate these issues, let’s try placing your iPad in recovery mode and attempting a restore with iTunes:

  • Disabling the caps lock delay on the aluminum keyboard

    Is there any way of turning off the accidental caps-lock press prevention on the new Apple keyboards? (http://www.tuaw.com/2007/10/07/new-apple-keyboard-has-protection-against-acciden tal-caps-lock/)
    I use my caps lock key as Control (SysPrefs -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard -> Modified Keys), and the bounce protection cause me no end of trouble - it is still enabled, though I am not using that key for caps lock.
    I called Apple support, and they told me to return the keyboard. I do not think this will make a difference, but maybe a Genius can help me out.

    Thanks for your suggestion Tom, but that's not really what we're trying to do.
    On early keyboards (when I started typing on computer terminals (in the 70s/80s, yes, before personal computers, the Control key was the key to the left of "A". That was great for programmers since lots of things used Control (shell, Emacs, etc). At some point, the Powers That Be (TM) decided that Caps Lock belonged to the left of the "A" key, so people like me spent their time either hoarding the old-style keyboards or finding ways of putting Control 'back where it should be'.
    So disabling Caps Lock altogether does not achieve this goal. And until the Aluminum keyboard, ALL other Apple keyboards have worked fine under OSX using the Keyboard Modifier Key swap to simply make Caps Lock be Control. This Aluminum keyboard still makes the switch and works, but at the cost of having to hold the key longer as if it still were the Caps Lock key. Many typists may not even notice this difference, but to a touch-typist, the key seems simply not to work at all.

    Hi Amish,
    I should have mentioned that I have signed out of the iCloud Control Panel several times and no syncing occurs.
    Thanks for your response anyway. I appreciate your feedback.

    Since I updated to IOS 8.1 yesterday my sound is garbled and sounds like it's in a tunnel. What can I do?

    That's because there is no supported way to downgrade the iOS. Further, discussion of such is prohibited here, by this forum's terms of use.
    You'll have to go elsewhere if you want to go down this route.

  • Caps lock is too sensitive on keyboard

    I don't know if this is a software problem, or a hardware problem, but is there any way to force the keyboard into lowercase, and keep it that way?
    This is my first Mac mini, and it uses a "Macally" keyboard. The slightest touch on the caps lock key makes the whole keyboard go into uppercase mode. (It is very, very unsettling for someone who is not used to PC compatibles, or Macs, for that matter.)
    Shouldn't there be a spring under the momentary contact switch? That way it would lock into place.
    Is this a problem with Pages, or is it just the keyboard I bought to go with my Mac mini?

    Tulse wrote:
    This is not a Pages issue, and likely not even a keyboard driver issue, but is most probably just related to the physical setup of the keyboard. Do you get the same problem in other text editing applications, like TextEdit? If so, you need to contact Macally about this (or, if it really bothers you, buy a different model keyboard -- they are relatively cheap these days).
    For some unknown reason, the manufacturer made the caps lock key twice as big as any of the other keys on the keyboard, except the SHIFT keys, and the SPACE BAR. Making the caps lock key so big, magnifies the likelihood of a stray finger alighting on it (ever so lightly) and toggling the keyboard into uppercase mode (a useless mode, so far as I can tell).
    So, in that respect, the manufacturer is clearly at fault.
    And I've noticed the same sort of thing happen with other keyboards, like those for the PC compatible. (I haven't any experience with the Apple II, or Apple IIe, or Lisa computers, though; do you know if those keyboards are afflicted with the same caps lock bug?) For the life of me, I can't figure out what good a caps lock key is supposed to be.
    But the Mac kernel really ought to have some way of fixing this bug, and keeping things in lowercase mode. Yes, it happens with other applications, like TextEdit. That merely implies the bug is way down there, possibly in the Kernel.
    Is there a Unix command that will make the caps lock key inert?

  • TS1398 Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi

    Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi

    not much response in here which surprises me...
    Anyway... AS I am still looking for answers, I will share a couple of points that I realised...
    in Airport Utility, I noticed that my iphone MAC address was actually showing as client connected, despite my phone network showing the spinning wheel next to the network name for ever and never actually connecting.
    I am currently testing the router mode in Network to be on DHCP and NAT mode with a range from .2 to .200
    My phone is now connected....
    Everything seems to be ok and happy so far...
    strange that this router and phone have worked together for at least a couple of years, the phone works everywhere else, and all other toys connect to my WIFI just fine. the list is as follow:
    airport extreme
    Zeppelin air
    2x apple tv
    2 ipads
    iphone 4s
    2 mac
    1 pc
    I have litterally just hard reset the router with a pin just now as a last resort... same...
    I will leave the router as DHCP & NAT until a potential firmware or OS update...

  • Updating caps lock and num lock status

    I need to keep track of the status of the caps lock and num lock keys in a status bar of my frame.
    I get the current status with a code like this
    Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
    numLockState = toolkit.getLockingKeyState(KeyEvent.VK_NUM_LOCK);
    capsLockState = toolkit.getLockingKeyState(KeyEvent.VK_CAPS_LOCK);
    fireChangeEvent();
    where fireChangeEvent() updates a label in the status bar. The code is invoked when any of the caps lock and num lock keys are pressed (while the window has the focus) and when the window is activated. This code works while the window has the focus (i.e. the status of the keys if correctly tracked). It does not work correctly when the window is activated.
    Specifically the following scenario fails:
    - The window has focus and the state of the keys if correctly reported by the code above (say caps lock up, num lock
    up);
    - The window loses focus, i.e., another (non java) window gains the focus;
    - The user presses any of the two keys (say the caps lock key);
    - The window regains focus.
    When the latter event happens the code above is invoked (as a consequence of the window being activated) but it continues to report the status of the keys at the time the focus was lost by the window (caps lock up, num lock up).
    It seems that the toolkit does not automatically updates its internal status if a key is pressed when the java window does not have the focus. If I press the caps lock key (so that it returns to the up state) after the window has regained focus the status is updated and the new state is correctly reported. I need to manually realign the status by pressing the keys to have them correctly reported by the toolkit.
    Some ideas on how to have correct key status even after the window looses the focus?
    Thanks.

    - The window has focus and the state of the keys if correctly reported by the code above (say caps lock up, num lock

    When the latter event happens the code above is invoked (as a consequence of the window being activated) but it continues to report the status of the keys at the time the focus was lost by the window (caps lock up, num lock up).sorry! i tried this in a JFrame windowActivated() and i got the desired result it breaks your senario.
    the only is though it is not sensing the keyStrokes but if window looses focus because of another window gains focus it changes the values when it get focus next by ne means.
    Provide a short executable code might be the problem lies there.

  • Pages won't open since downloading updates

    Today I downloaded updates to Pages and iOS to my iPad Mini. Pages then stopped working. It looks like it will open, I can see the screen with the documents for half a second, then it disappears. It is there in the background if double click the home button, but disappears when I try to touch the screen. I have done a restart by holding home and on buttons. I am thinking of deleting the app and trying to reinstall but I know I will lose my documents. I have seen a few similar complaints including in the reviews for the app. It would be good if Apple issued a fix. Anyone else found a fix? Thanks.
    Pages 2.5.1
    ios 8.1.2 maybe - not sure as it doesn't say clearly which is the operating system, it just says 'version'

    Oy, Sorry to hear that. We actually received another update with a new version of the app and that reverted to the older version . There must have been a glitch.  Good luck

  • Since downloading spotify trial (one month), i seem to have lost itunes and my music from my dock. how do i bring my music back

    Since downloading Spotify app (trial for 1 month), i seem to have lost itunes from my dock, including my music. How do i bring it & all my music back. the last time i saved it to my hard drive was 3 months ago.

    If you start iTunes from Launchpad or Applications. It will Show the icon on the desktop. Right mouse click select Options and Keep in Dock.
    When you say your music has dissapeared is it removed from your hard drive?
    username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music is the path to my music on the local hard drive?
    If it is missing from itunes then redrag the Music folder back into iTunes and your music should reappear.
    Or did you mean something else?
