Sometimes, while typing, Windows 7 beeps and does not display character

Hi, I don't know if this is the right place, but if someone can help me with this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
I've recently upgrade from Vista(x64) to Windows 7(x64), not a clean install. After the upgrade, but not before, I've been experiencing instances where I am typing something in any random program and for one random key press, the computer will beep and the
letter for that key press will not show up where I was typing. I wouldn't say it's a life threatening issue, but I get it often enough that it's pretty annoying. I think the beep is coming from the speaker. Has anyone else had problems with this?
My specs:
Motherboard: Nvidia 680i SLI
Processor: Intel e6750 dual core
Keyboard: Microsoft "Natural Keyboard Elite" with PS/2 jack
Thanks in advance,
Jameson
Hello,
I recently installed Win7-64 Pro [retail box] into a new system and I am having the same strange symptom. It's very specific though and can be reproduced. In any application, when I press the following keystrokes, I get a beep through my speakers
and the final "F" is not typed:
{hold down left-SHIFT for ALL 3 keys}PDF
"PDF" must be typed rapidly and the final "F" will not be typed. Sometimes I get a beep, but not always. If I slow down, the "F" is typed. I have new hardware, there is not much in RAM except FireFox 3.6.15 but it doesn't matter what is
loaded. Here is my hardware:
Asus P7P55D-E Pro mobo
Intel i7 870 at stock speed (not O/C'd)
4 GB Corsair RAM
EVGA GeForce GTX 460 SE, PART NUMBER: 01G-P3-1366-TR
PNY NVIDIA Quadro NVS 450 x16
-----5 monitors for above
Windows 7-64 upgraded to SP1
Fujitsu FKB4726-651 PS/2 Keyboard
Microsoft Intellimouse optical through PS/2
All drivers have been loaded. I have not had any other problems with my keyboard that I have noticed. I also have not tested my keyboard in DOS or Win7 Safe-Mode.
June 16, 2011 UPDATE: I booted into DOS using a Win98SE formatted floppy and I tested my system using the DOS Edit.COM program. It did the same thing as above (no beep though)! I will update this post again after I use a different
keyboard.

Having a problem with Firefox using Hotmail email. Inbox - as checking messages it freezes up or a 1 item window follows cursor and does not allow you to enter

I am having a problem accessing Hotmail email messages via Fireflox server. When I am in the Inbox, reviewing messages, it either freezes up or a "1 item" small icon window follows cursor and does not allow me to enter messages or do anything. Have to log off and start over. Suggestions>?

Can you detect any pattern to it, whether related to messages with attachments, or particular advertising on the page, etc.?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
(Usually the dialog will refer to live.com rather than hotmail.com, that's normal.)
Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Does that help?

JSP stops loading in IE and does not display in NS

I am running several JSP pages on Tomcat 4. The pages make one query to an Oracle 8i database that returns about 70 records. I display some text from each record using a loop.
For some reason, the page just stops loading. IE displays some of the HTML, then stops at some point and displays the underlying HTML code. NS does not load the page at all (probably since the JSP stops loading before it can reach the closing </hmtl> tag).
I have tried flushing the cache manually. I have also tried autoflushing the cache and adjusting the cache size (all the way down to zero).
The page was loading fine until I deleted some records from the underlying database. Then the problem started occurring. It is only on one or two pages and on no other JSP pages. Even pages with nearly identical code work fine.
Is this some type of fluke? I have run into this error before, but somehow miracluously, the pages would start working again. I thought perhaps it was a problem with Tomcat, but I am not sure.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

For some reason, the page just stops loading. IE
displays some of the HTML, then stops at some point
and displays the underlying HTML code. NS does not
load the page at all (probably since the JSP stops
loading before it can reach the closing </hmtl> tag).In my experience, if a page does not display completely,
or if it displays the underlying HTML, then there is probably
something wrong in the HTML itself. The culprit is usually
a missing ending tag or some error like an unterminated
string.
The easiest way to check this is to run the JSP. Then select
"view source" from the menu and save the source code to a new
html file. You can edit the html file and see what went wrong.

After upgrading to 10.2.2.12 on windows XP SP3 , itunes does not display any summary info or buttons/options. The buttons work but it does not display the text on the button or the options available.

I recently upgraded the iTunes software to 10.2.2.12 on my Windows XP laptop. Since then, iTunes stopped displaying the Summary info
, the text on the buttons, the various drop down options. The buttons seem to be working but I can't tell what that button is supposed to do
or the option I am selecting. This is preventing me from syncing my photos to the laptop.
this was not a problem with the previous version of iTunes.
Actions taken :
- I tried downloading iTunes again and repairing the install. That did not fix it.
- Don't want to uninstall it as I am worried that I would lose all the songs and the purchases etc.
1. Has anyone encountered this ?
2. Is there a solution for this ?
Many thanks in advance for your time and help

b noir, my Windows 7 machine is having the exact same issue as nsadal, and I have already confirmed that all six of the Segoe UI fonts are installed on my computer. Are any other Windows users having this problem with the 10.2.2.12 iTunes release?
Yeah it does, although the problem predates version 10.2.2.12. It's been around since earlier-on in the version 10s (at least).
It's usually Segoe UI font trouble on the Windows 7 systems too. Unfortunately, the Vortical troubleshooting technique only works on XP and Vista systems, so dealing with the issue on a Windows 7 system is trickier. (There's a bunch of different possible issues relating to the fonts that could be in play, and so the treatment tends to depend on which issue in particular you've got with the Segoe_UI fonts.)
For discussions of various Windows 7 variations of the "Missing text" thing, and possible treatments, see the following (unfortunately, rather long) topic:

Firefox 5 opens mutiple web browsers and does not display homepage-white page only

I use windows 7 starter. When I start Firefox 5 it keeps opening firefox web browsers, up to 50 at a time. I did try the sugestions in the help area of firefox, but it still happens. The browser also opens on a white page with nothing on it. I was asked to upgrade to firefox 6 but I refused becuase I use NoDoFollow and seoquake and the system said that those adons are not compatible with firefox6.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

You need a separate email address but you've already ruled out that solution.

Reminders.app does not display anymore

I'm translating my question already posted in french at : http://forums.macg.co/mac-os-x/rappels-ne-s-affiche-plus-1236408.html
Hi,
I haven't found any answer to my new problem.
The app Reminders (Reminders.app) doesn't display anymore.
To be more precise :
- the icon is animated on the dock
- the menu is there but no window opens
- Cmd-0 does not display the main window
- I cannot create a new entry
I checked and repaired the permissions, the HDD, ... without succeeding.
I tried to start ./Reminders in the terminal in /Applications/Reminders.app/Contents/MacOS and I got this error message :
2013-12-10 23:07:19.862 Reminders[658:507] *** -[__NSCFString stringByAppendingString:]: nil argument
2013-12-10 23:07:19.887 Reminders[658:507] +[CATransaction synchronize] called within transaction
Because it works fine on iCloud.com and iOS7 I tried to :
- disable iCloud/Reminders in the Preference panel -> then an new and empty Reminders window appears when I start it again (and no error message in the terminal)
- close the Reminders app and enable iCloud -> the app does not appear
- colse the app, modify some entries using iCloud or iOS, disable iCloud, enable iCloud, and try to start again without succeeding.
Does anyone have an idea ?
Thanks a lot,
Thibault

I had the same problem and solved it by quitting Reminders on the iMac and doing this on my iPhone (which is synced to iCloud along with my iMac):
1) deleting old (completed) reminders so that each list had only reminders less that one year old, and
2) adding a new list and creating a few entries
And waiting until that synced to iCloud.
When I did that all my lists and entries reappeared on the iMac Reminders app! I'm gussing there was either a corrupt entry somewhere or the lists of entries had just got to be too long. Even after the deletions, I still have several hundred completed items, which I want to keep as checklists that I re-use. Doing the above was much better then totally wiping all lists (as some have suggested) or more drastic ideas like deleting pref files.
I also had to widen the Reminders window to allow it to show the Sidebar as well as enabling Sidebar in the View menu.
I did not disable iCloud syncing on the iMac but that would not hurt as an initial step before doing the above also.
Good luck.

Webhelp TOC and Contents not displayed in Google Chrome

This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

TS1363 I have itunes in windows 8 but it does not recognise my ipod. Any tips on getting it to work and be able to Sync?

I have itunes installed on my computer, I have a new laptop with windows 8. It does not seem to recognise my ipod and therefore I cannot sync it. Any ideas on how to rectify this?

Error -69 suggests a possible problem with the source files on your computer. Check the source disk for errors and backup if you don't already do so. See HT1210: iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod for more details.
The SyncToy backup program is also a good way to identify exactly which files cannot be read. Repeated runs may succed in copying files which won't copy over on the first attempt.
See also Corrupt iPod classic.
It may also help to disable any AV software while syncing or set exclusions on the media folder and the iPod's drive.

Siri window does not display and app was destroyed with latest 6.1 update

This happened right after the last update to 6.1. Press the button and hold it. You get a beep but no SIRI window. Otherwise it will do as you tell it to.
There are numerous other bugs. Go into Purchased apps. Cannot select an app on the second row left, second one down from the top. eith the one above it displays or the one below it.
The update also destroyed an expense tracking app, Pocket expense which had a substantial amount of data in it. Press on the app icon and it flasehes and does not run.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
If neither of these work you may have to restore your ipad via iTunes on your computer.

Windows XP SP 3 does not recognize HP Scanjet 3770 after downloading and installing driver

Hello !
I have a second hand HP Scanjet 3770 scanner.
After downloading and installing driver there is only 1 icon on my desktop - Image Zone.
There is not icon of HP Director software, neither on desktop nor in C:\Program files\HP folder
Windows XP SP 3 does not recognize HP Scanjet 3770 after downloading and installing driver (Image Zone software)
There is another scanning HP device installed on the same computer - all-in-one HP Photosmart C 4280
What I have to do ?
Thank you !

Some things that pop in my head- your CD/DVD drive may need cleaning (laser eye). There are discs to do this or you can use a cotton swab sometimes to wipe the laser. OR- the last recovery may have been the last fatal strain on the CD/DVD drive and it is now not functioning. Maybe you could borrow the drive from the other Dv4 and try it- or borrow/buy a USB CD/DVD drive to try.
