I have a problem with the keyboard on my MacBook. The letters are typing as symbols and the delete and return/enter buttons do not work. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Hey skyshade13,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines how to restore a previous iTunes library should there be no content after updating. While the article does not speak specifically to your symptoms, attempting the steps by utilizing the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder may resolve your issue.

With version 5 of Firefox, if I open more than 1 session, most of the time I cannot see anything in the navigation bar and my back and forward buttons do not work.

I open 1 session of Firefox 5.0.1 and everything seems to work fine. Then I open a second session of Firefox and most of the time the navigation bar does not show the page that I am on and the back and forward buttons do not work. When this happens, the first session always remains working. I am an internet marketer so I have at least 2 or 3 sessions going at any given time.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How to fill out the clipboard under "about:support" when enter button does not work in address bar? Thearrow button does not work either?

My enter btton does not work in the address bar or search engine. I have done the restart in safe mode...deleted and reinstalled firefox...done the malware/adware checks...still no improvement.
I was asked to do the "about:support" then click enter for the clipboard to paste the system notes into. That is not an option however because the orginal problem is the enter button not working. Ideas?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

What do you do if some of your keys on your keyboard aren't working ?! Any suggestions ??

Yeah, a portable bluetooth keyboard is the cheapest solution. You can replace the top deck yourself without too much tinkering if you are a little mechanically minded. Most replacement services on the net charge from $150 to replace it. You can buy refurbished top decks from $50 or so. Unfortunately, the keyboard is part of the top case and not an individual part.
One thing to note: If you do decide to buy one and DIY, make sure you get the exact one for your model cos the connectors do vary slightly.
This is The PowerBook Medic website. They have everything for portable Macs, including instructional videos.

Started firefox today and for some reason all the bars are missing which includes the bookmark button, back button, really everything...I have tried for hours to get them back and even did a restore to my system, no help...how do I get them back

all the bars at the top of the page have gone missing including the back button, everything...how can I restore them?

'''Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)
Press ALT V T M (CTRL V T M on Macs) on your keyboard. This should restore the menu bar (Firefox 3.6) You can also restore the menu bar by pressing Alt and going to View | Toolbars | Menu bar
'''Navigation Toolbar'''
Press Alt V T N (CTRL V T N on Macs) on your keyboard.
'''Other toolbars'''
View | Toolbars | Select the desired Toolbar
'''Other steps to try'''
Try restoring the default set by going to View | Toolbars | Customize | Restore Default Set. This will put the toolbars back in the default place. This would be a good idea if you are missing specific icons on the Navigation Toolbar
'''Safe Mode'''
You May need to reset toolbars and controls via [[Safe Mode]]
Make sure you completely close Firefox first. When you get to the Safe Mode window, select Reset toolbars and controls and then Make Changes and Restart.

[[Menu bar is missing]]
[[Navigation Toolbar Items]]
[[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]
Hope this helps!

My 3 apple products, an imac, a macbook air and a macbook lost their contact with their external hard disks. They were LaCie make. And every time I turn my laptops, I find the positions of the keys on their keyboards changed. Why is Apple silent?

After the latest apple IOS upgrade my 3 apple products, an imac, a macbook air and a macbook, lost their contact with their external hard disks. They were LaCie make. And every time I turn my laptops, I find the positions of the keys on their keyboards changed. Why is Apple silent? There are so many people complaining about this issue and expecting Apple to correct this issue that they have created.

Probably because it's not an Apple issue. I have Lacie EHD's connected to my MBAir and iMac, all work perfectly on Mavericks. In addition I don't have any keyboard issues on any of my Apple products. BTW IOS is only for IOS devices such as iPads, iPods and iPhones, Macs use OS X. The two OS's are seperate products designed to run on seperate products.

Satellite L650: Some combinations with the FN button do not work on W7x64

Hello,
System
<h3>Satellite L650-1KU</h3>Part number
<h3><span class="partNo">PSK1LE-01700MRU</h3>
I have install Windows by myself - this laptop haven't any OS from factory.
Installed Windows 7 x64, all drivers and utilites from Toshiba driver site for windows 7 x64 accessible for my laptop model.
I have no any unknown devices in Windows Device manager, all drivers installed and all hardware components woks fine i.e. wifi or bluetooth or web camera.
But I still can't use some of keyboard combinations with Fn button. Not all, just five combinations do not work: Fn+F2 power modes, Fn+F4 hibernate, Fn+1,2 zoom and Fn+F8 wirelles devices.
From search I have found only mentions about Fn+1,2 zoom - this funtion provide some util named Toshiba Zoom but on download page no any Toshiba Zoom for my laptop model and W7.
Looks like there must be installed some additional utils from vendor for handling this combinations but I cant find any additional info or soft on driver download page.
May be there are some utils what shold be located in lists of drivers/soft for 32 bit windows and it will be fine for 64 bit one?
All combinations which works fine like volume +- Fn+3 Fn+4 or mute Fn+ESC does not shows any popus at moment of pressing, just <span class="short_text"><span class="hps">perform <span class="hps">its <span class="hps">function <span class="hps">without any indication.
Dear users and support, can you help me what I should install from additional utils to provide support for combinations Fn+F2 power modes, Fn+F4 hibernate Fn+1,2 zoom and Fn+F8 wirelles devices?

Have you installed the Toshiba Value Added Package?
Have a look on the Toshiba support/downloads website. Ensure you install the Win7 64bit version of TVAP designed for the L650 series.
Updating the BIOS may also help.

How to get the keys for a field in the dropdown list?

The dropdown list of payment terms on an account is unfortunately very big, containing al lot of different values, in our system and therefore very confusing for the user working with Web UI version 5.2 to pick the right one. The keys (code like e.i Z077 or ZO23) are not stated in the list available for user. Is there any way in the system to flag if the different fields should show boths the keys(codes) and the description of the values in the field as Payment terms, etc.
In the ERP SAP Gui it is possible to activate if you want the keys should be shown in all drop down list.
If this is not possible for all the fields at one time, what can be a solution to have the keys in the drop down lists, any suggestion will be very valuable for us.
Kindly regards
Camilla

HI Joost
No it is not that simple, that is not a solution for us. The fields are maintained i our backend system and replicated to CRM, and these fields descriptions are also printed at Order confirmations and invoices, and we do not want the keys that do not give any meaning to be visible to customers.

On my MacBook Pro, sometimes when I click to close tabs in Safari the button will not work. I have to click on some other part of the screen and then it will. This happens in other programs like Word/Excel for changing font, etc. Solution/Suggestions?

Is it possible to change the Global Lockout Message to include the time duration?

Hi Everyone,
Is it possible to edit the error messages that portal returns?
Are they stored in a table we can just modify? Or are they
secured?
The one specifically that a client would like to change is:
the error message related to the global lockout message to
include the time that people would have to wait.
Any ideas?
Thanks
tim

Tim,
You can change the message via an API. The code that we used is
below:
DECLARE
CURSOR c_id IS
SELECT id
FROM wwnls_strings$
WHERE name = 'edit_password_txt';
v_msg LONG := 'Enter your old password and a new password.
Confirm your new password to make sure you entered it correctly.
Passwords are %1.'||chr(10)
||'Passwords must : <br>' ||chr(10)
||'<UL><LI> be at least 7 characters long
</LI>' || chr(10)
||'<LI> not be the same as your username </LI>'
|| chr(10)
||'<LI> contain at least one alpha character
</LI>' || chr(10)
||'<LI> contain at least one numeric character
</LI>' || chr(10)
||'<LI> not be the same as your previous
password </LI></UL>' ;
v_id wwnls_strings$.id%TYPE;
BEGIN
OPEN c_id;
FETCH c_id INTO v_id;
CLOSE c_id;
portal30_sso.wwnls_api.set_string      (p_id => v_id
                         ,p_text => v_msg
                         ,p_language => 'us');
