The return of the return key-please!

Here's one for you and it has me stumped? On a web page say for instance Gmail I can auto insert login/passwords. So then I normally just hit the return key on my macbook and that initiates the sign in. So I don't actually need to move the trackpad to click on the sign-in button. Get my drift? Well now this return key feature has suddenly stopped.
The return key is working. I have used it in wordprocessors and it is returning??
One simple explanation. I thought that it might be a system issue with the 10.4.9 am I barking up the wrong tree? It's driving me crazy very tempted to wipe the system and take it back to install version. I also appreciate that it could be software that's causing this issue.
I have done some extensive searches for solutions but it is a very unsual fault to describe, without getting hundreds of post about stuck/broken return keys. Yes, I have played with system preferences recently to adjust trackpad preferences. But I'm damned if I can find the "The most annoying preferences you can't turn back on again" pane.

Hi,
good to hear that you cleared that.
But, you 2 year old daughter ??
How did she even reached your MacBook...?
Maybe the No. 1 suspect is quite a bit older...
Have Fun

  • 9900 App World 10000 message - give me the license key now.

    If I only knew that App World is so unstable... App World company did charge me for IM+ Talk, but I saw only error 10000, no license key. I was waiting for several days and nothing happened (I thought if thee error encountered it could be monitored by accounting or administration of App world) - nobody contacted me and send the license key.
    Then I contacted SHAPE, vendor of IM+ Talk.Tha's what they said:
    Managing Blackberry AppWorld purchases is out of our scope, sorry.
    If you encounter any difficulties with purchase, please visit
    Blackberry AppWorld support site.
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/blackberryappworld.jsp
    So i'm still waiting for the license key, please feel free to contact me, you have my e-mail., I can provide you with phone number if needed. I will not try to play with App World anymore, only wait for the license key, as you charged me already.
    Moreover I would really expect better support, as this forum sometimes goes on maintenance (this is my second attempt to write you here).
    I case nothing happens I will need to ask my bank (issuer of the card) to run investigation on this case.
    Thank you,

  • How to Replace the arrow key on Pavilion dv7

    So, the left arrow key on the laptops keyboard popped out. My laptop is HP Pavilion dv7-6195us.
    I'm living in Croatia, Europe, but I have found this site , and I want to order the key.
    But the problem is I don't see my laptop model, specified above. Can you guys give me the exact link which key should I buy?
    And if you know any better site for ordering the keyboard keys, please let me know.
    Regards,
                                                                                                                                                                                                      stagg250

    Hi,
    You should buy a new keyboard. I don't think that you can replace a key on a laptop keyboard (it won't last too long). I have a manual with all the part numbers so I guess that you will need the same keyboard as in Slovenia, because I can't find a dedicated keyboard for Croatia. The Czech rep and Slovakia use the same keyboard as well.
    The part number for a black Slovenia keyboard is: 639396-BA1
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02842278.pdf
    It looks like the laptop is from the US so the part number for the original keyboard is: 639396-001
    I guess that you will have to stick with the US keyboard.

  • In the previous version, the menu table in table options, there is an option that gives me the option: the Return key moves to next cell. I do not see this option in the new number. can you help me please?

    in the previous version  of Number, the menu table in table options, there is an option that gives me the option: the Return key moves to next cell. I do not see this option in the new number. can you help me please?

    Hi silvano,
    If you use a regular pattern when entering values, press enter (return) after entering the last value in a row. That will take you to the first Body Cell of the next row.
    Start in Cell B2
    1 Tab 2 Tab 3 Enter
    4 Tab 5 Tab 6 Enter
    7 Tab 8 Tab 9 Enter
    Now you are ready to type into B5 .
    Another way that some people find easier is to enter one column at a time
    Start at B2
    1 enter
    4 enter
    7 enter
    etc.
    Now start with C2.
    Use whatever suits your work flow.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How can labview update the string control (text-edit box) after we have pressed the carriage return key on the keyboard during text-editing within that box?

    Dear readers,
    I have been trying to work out how to get labview to detect the event when a 'string' control has been modified, where the user has finished editing the string either by 1) pressing the enter key on the keyboard, or by 2) taking the focus away from the string control again. For example.. if I use the mouse to click on the string control and then I type 1234 into the box, I would like to have a routine that does something once the user hits the Enter key of the keyboard, or when the user takes the focus away from the string control again by clicking on something else. I would like the routine to respond even when the user didn't change anything in the text box (such as when we mouse-click on the edit box to go into edit mode, and then mouse-click on something else to remove the focus with no changes to the contents in edit-box).
    The purpose of my routine is to have a edit-box for a user to change for example the centre-frequency of a vector network analyser, so that the centre-frequency of the network analyser can change once the user finishes entering a new value in the text-edit box by hitting Enter key after the number is keyed in. Even if the user has clicked on the edit box, but changes their mind by mouse-clicking on something else to remove focus from the edit box, I would still like labview to detect the event when the control loses focus, so that the centre frequency can be updated anyway (to the same value that was already in the edit box).
    So far, I've tried set the string control option to 'limit to single line', so that I can try to scan for a carriage return .. '\n' ... pattern in the string. Unfortunately this doesn't work because labview doesn't seem to attach the '\n' to the end of that single line.
    Could someone please suggest ways to set a flag when a user hits Enter during text-edit mode of a string control, or when focus has been removed from the string control?
    While I've only described my problem for controlling a single control parameter on the gpib device, I'd like to make this feature work so that I can do the same kind of thing with other control parameters as well.
    Thanks so much in advance.
    Kenny

    Hi Kenny,
    instead of using the event structure, you can directly achieve to what you want by the KeyFocus property of the string control.
    - Enable Limit to single line option
    - Create the property KeyFocus in read mode and connect an indicator
    Each time you click on the string to modify it KeyFocus is True; when you click away or hit Enter KeyFocus is False.
    You can toggle your settings when KeyFocus changes from True to False.

    Hello
    If I undestand you, I think you should do this:
    Connection conexion = dataSource.getConnection();
    int idCenter=-1;
    String query = "Begin Insert into CENTER (NAME_CENTER) values (?) returning ID_CENTER into ?; end";
    callableStatement = conexion.prepareCall(query.toString());     
         callableStatement.setString(1, "Center name");               
         callableStatement.registerOutParameter(2, java.sql.Types.INTEGER);
              callableStatement.executeUpdate();
              idCenter=callableStatement.getInt(2);
    This way, you have in idCenter the primary key of the line that has just been inserted.

  • The mail app crashes as soon as I hit the return key.

    A new development on my Macbook Pro. If I am writing an email or responding to one, as soon as I hit the return key the app crashes.
    I don't experience that problem anywhere else, like in this form, for example.
    Please help.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Is there a way to get a soft keyboard on iOS to show ´join´ or ´send´ in the return key of a keyboard?

    I saw that the ReturnKeyType [1] only supports a subset of value possible on iOS [2].
    Basically the supported return key types are "done", "go", "next", "search" and "default" which corresponds to "enter" on iOS
    while iOS also supports "Google", "Join", "Route", "Send", "Yahoo" and "Emergency Call".
    Two of the iOS types "Join" and "Send" I would find quite useful in places I'm currenlty using the "go" return key type
    Is there anyway to get the soft keyboard to show this labels on iOS?
    Alternatively it would be great if "join" and "send" are added as Air ReturnKeyType's (e.g. they could default to "go" on other devices)
    Thanks

  • The return key suddenly doesn't work on some forums

    I visit a forum and since upgrading to the latest Java thingy, my keyboard seems to have lost the use of the return key.
    When I'm typing into the message window, it looks fine. When the message has posted, the return key has not registered, not even a space. So all sentences are run together.... I'm wondering how this will look when posted!
    Any ideas?

    OK...
    Install the Mac OS X v10.6.3 v1.1 Update (Combo)
    Then repair disk permissions...
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and *restart your Mac*.
