Tecra M5 laptop keeps typing iiiii for no obvious reason

Hi,
Started last night, my 1 year 2 month old M5 suddenly started typing iiiii almost as if the key had stuck down, but its not physically stuck (that I can see). Problem persists even after a reboot. I'm hoping its just a "stuck" key. Anyone else experienced / heard of this and can it be cleared with a blast of cleaning air or is a keyboard off job (or even something more sinister like a virus; checkers and firewall all up to date and active though)? Laptop is running XP.
Thanks in advance
Mark

A friend of mine had another strange issue.
The cursor jumped all the time and it was not possible to use the keyboard and the touchpad.
Finally the keyboard was replaced and this has solved the problem.
I presume you keyboard malfunctions and you should contact some ASP technicians for the help. If your warranty is valid then everything should be done for free!
Bye

Itunes login window keeps popping up for no apparent reason

For about 2 weeks now the itunes login window asking for my itunes password keeps popping up for no apparent reason at annoyingly frequent intervals on my touch 3.1.2. This seems to occur regardless of what i am doing on the ipod or which app I am using at the time. If i enter my password and press ok the message still pops up again later. Anybody have a solution?

Hi,
Please go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features to repair the Installation of Office, check if the issue persists.
If the issue still exists, I suggest you perform a clean boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with Communicator:

For the last week or three Firefox refreshes two or three times for each refresh, and sometimes for no obvious reason..

For the last week or three Firefox refreshes two or three times for each refresh. Sometimes it refreshes for no obvious reason. For instance, I'll be in the middle of typing into a forum's post block & it refreshes. Or filling out an online form. Or simply viewing a page.

You can check for issues caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

I installed the Beta yesterday and FOUR times it has locked up for no obvious reason, so i had to return to the latest 3.6 version. Do you have an answer for this problem???

I do a Google search it locks-up. Other times it locks up for no obvious reason. I am using Windows 7. I never have any problems with the latest version of 3.6.
Even if I shut it down, I cannot open it again without re-starting my computer. So for me right now the beta version is useless!!!

Apple doesn't monitor all the threads, so the best thing to do is send in feedback:

Satellite L450 crashes for no obvious reason

I have a two month old L450 running "windows7".
Within a week of purchase and for no obvious reason, the screen went black with a blue message box in the centre.
It only remains on the screen for a few seconds before shutting down so I don't have chance to read the message.
This has happened on a number of occasions since.
The only words I have managed to see are "crash dump" and something about removing hardware.
Is it possible to press a key when this happens to enable me to read the screen and is ther a "Problem Log" as in "Vista" that would enable me to see what the problem is?
I could return it to the supplier but as the fault is intermittent the chances are it would not show itself.

Hi
In order to disable automatic restart follow this:
- right click on My Computer -> Properties
- On the left click Advanced System settings
- Click on Setting button in area Startup and Recovery (its a last third area)
- Remove the mark from the Automatically Restart box .
- Click OK and Apply the settings.
Now you will get all the details on the screen after the notebook has crashed again.
Why this happens?
Hmm this is not easy to say in many cases its just a software/driver issue.
Try to update the driver/graphic card driver
You should also check if your BIOS is up to date.
As you know Win7 is a new OS on the market and there could be also an compatibility issue with different 3rd party applications installed on your system
So be sure that Win 7 is also up to date!

After upgrading to Mavericks, the free space on my SSD keeps going down for no apparent reason

I downloaded Mavericks and installed it on my macbookpro ( with Crucial M4 SSD) and the free space on my ssd keeps going down for no reason. I reinstalled it from a bootable flashdrive, and the free space went from 20G to 60. Since then it keeps going down and I am now on 48G. I cannot find the source of the drain. Anyone else with the same problem?

Keep Losing Connection For No Apparent Reason

Have had BT Infinity for about 18 months or so now. Every now again, I get spells of it (the hub and the router) crashing out for seemingly no reason. Reconnects, only to disconnect again. Was so bad yesterday, it made PC unusable. Unplugged everything overnight last night, as lost my rag with it, plug it all back in again this morning. Worked fine until this afternoon, where it started doing the same again, all be it not quite as often as yesterday. I had the router changed out by Kelly Comms in Dec, but never had a problem with the old one, so was reluctant to change it, now I can see why!!
Any ideas, before I launch it up the garden?
Cheers
Solved!

Satellite L755D - sound keeps cutting out for no apparent reason

I posted this in another thread, but thought I might need to start one of my own since a solution had been found by that person and I am still having a problem. So, about three weeks ago the sound on my computer began just cutting out for no apparent reason. It happened while I was watching streaming video and I tried updating all my software stuff (like flash and java and things of that nature). It still continued to happen and now it was happening with streaming video, with youtube type videos, and with mp3s stored on this computer. I discovered that if I went to the control panel and clicked on sound/hardware and then clicked on the tab for recording, the sound immediately came back. So, I've been doing this for the past couple of weeks and it is extremely annoying! In another thread on ths forum, the individual discovered that the Malwarebytes program had been the culprit and I was happy to have an answer, except that I had installed security software last week which removed MB from my computer. And I continue to have the issue even today. I clicked on the link in the other thread to update my drivers and I continue to have the issue. Can anyone help? It's making me crazy! Thanks in advance.

OK - I'm getting this as well. Satellite L750-1E5. It was fine for ages and this started happening about a month ago now. - tried updating the drivers - System restored back to when it worked, not working This led me to think it was a hardware problem. My gut feeling however was that it was some sort of driver problem as sound would cutout after about 2 minutes, but would often come back if I started playing another song or something. Reinstalled Windows 7(64 bit) and played through an entire song with no issues(using Windows 7 sound drivers). Ran Windows update and the issue has come back. Installed the proper Conexant driver, but issue still occurring. I believe a Windows update has caused this issue.

Re: Tecra M5 Wakes Up from hibernation for no good reason

Spec M5 2GB Xp Pro SP3
Placed into hibernation (Shut Down ->Hibernation) the machine happily hibernates and then, for no apparent reason, 'wakes up'. Power mamangement settings are, I think, OK
* Network Cards all have power management allow this device to bring the computer out of standby unticked
* Modem has this box unticked
* USB Root Hubs all have this box unticked
The PC is in hibernation so there is no software running so why does the damn thing wake up?
When it does wake up, Event Viewer says the first thing to run was e1express (Event 42 Intel(R) PRO/1000 PL Network Connection driver had been started.) so something seems to have kicked off the network card but sadly it does not tell me what.
There are no scheduled tasks
So what is waking it up
TFAI
W

Barry
Yes - so it would seem but I find that strange
In hibernation, memory is written to disc, nothing is running so nothing that has been installed should wake up the PC. The only options that can wake it up are, I think
Wake up on LAN - Disabled in BIOS.
Network Devices: Device manager there are 3 network devices (LAN, Wifi and Adapter). Those that have a power management setting (LAN & Wifi) have it set to Do not wake up
Modem: set to Do not wake up
USB: Wake up in USB There are 6 USG Root Hubs. All set to Do not wake up. Nothing else has a power management setting
Scheduled Tasks: there are no scheduled task listed (unless something writes a scheduled task on hibernation)
Or have I misunderstood hibernation?
If someone knows of something else that can wake it up, please let me know and I will search some more.

TextField shakes for no obvious reason.

I've been trying to fix this problem for hours and I'm ready to give up. Here's is the set-up:
I have a pretty simple MovieClip moving about the stage. The MovieClip has some shapes and a TextField on the top. Basically, it's a balloon with a word inside. For some weird reason, when the clip is moving, the text inside shakes (not a lot, just a couple of pixels in random directions). This is very annoying and I can't find any reason for it inside the .fla file or the class files.
If you have seen anything like that, please share your wisdom!

Yes, the font is embedded. I tried different fonts. You can see from the screenshot that I'm using Times New Roman now.
I'm moving the balloon programmatically. The code looks like this:
onEnterFrame(
balloon.x + = speedX;
I just realized that the speedX is not integer and Flash probably can't render text "in sync" with a shape if it's not aligned to the pixels. So, I tried rounding speedX before incrementing the balloon position. That solved the "shaking" problem, but obviously the movement is not smooth anymore, the balloons "step" instead of "glide". So this solution is not acceptable. Any good ideas?

My toshiba laptop keeps turning off for no reason

my laptop is a Satellite A205 s7464 and when its on it randomly turns off. I cant seem to find the problem, its not overheating or anything, but it constantly does this.
can anyone help?

The cpu fan may not be function causing the computer to shutdown. Does this happen when you walk away from the computer for awhile? Could it be set to hibernate?
the product specifications states the under some condition your computer may shut down not sure what that means?
from product spec
CPU performance in your computer product may vary from specifications under the following conditions: 1. use of certain external peripheral products 2. use of battery power instead of AC power 3. use of certain multimedia, computer generated graphics or video applications 4. use of standard telephone lines or low speed network connections 5. use of complex modeling software, such as high end computer aided design applications 6. use of several applications or functionalities simultaneously 7. use of computer in areas with low air pressure (high altitude >1,000 meters or >3,280 feet above sea level) 8. use of computer at temperatures outside the range of 5°C to 30°C (41°F to 86° F) or >25°C (77°F) at high altitude (all temperature references are approximate and may vary depending on the specific computer model – please visit the Toshiba website at www.pcsupport.toshiba.com for details). CPU performance may also vary from specifications due to design configuration. Under some conditions, your computer product may automatically shut-down. This is a normal protective feature designed to reduce the risk of lost data or damage to the product when used outside recommended conditions. To avoid risk of lost data, always make back-up copies of data by periodically storing it on an external storage medium. Use your computer product only under recommended conditions. Read additional restrictions under “Environmental Conditions” in your product “Detailed Specs.” Contact Toshiba Technical Service and Support for more information.

Aptv keeps restarting itself for no apparent reason

For the last week or two my aptv has been restarting itself, usually when I put a program on pause
and come back a few min. later I find I'm back at the icon screen.
My software is up to date and my connection is very good so I'm really puzzled as to why it would
restart on it's own, and it seems to be happening more often.
As well Hulu seems a little strange, it keeps asking to quite out and restart after an "update" and
it will do this a few times a day, very strange.
Anyone else having these same problems?

I'm experiencing the exact same problems, and I don't think it's a network connectivity issue as I am connected via Ethernet not WiFi. I have also confirmed that none of my other devices are experiencing network drops (iPhone, laptop, desktop) at the same time my AppleTV is rebooting itself. I can replicate the restart problem like clockwork by going into HBO GO and scrolling down through the "Just Added" movies (screen goes blank, light on box blinks 4 times, ticking "thinking" wheel shows on screen, and then the home AppleTV screen displays); and I can almost always get the "Hulu Plus has updated, please exit and restart" message anytime I try to watch multiple shows of the same series back to back. I've updated my software, unplugged the AppleTV for a few minutes and retried it, reset to factory settings, and then done a complete restore (which took 40 min because it apparently found an update that the update screen didn't see) all to no avail. Nothing I have tried is fixing the problem. I'm wondering if there may be a bug with the latest software update?
