TrackBall / Select Button Gone Crazy!

I have had my blackberry pearl (8100) for over a year now and it ran just fine until recently. The select / trackball button started getting pressed automatically, selecting which ever menu / icon was highlighted. I have tried resetting the phone, opening up the trackball compartment and cleaning it with alcohol swabs, re-installing to the latest OS after doing a "Clear Phone / Delete Everything Procedure" but still no fruit. After this I experimented a couple of things with same results. 1) I took out the trackball making sure there is nothing on the select button sensor, still the phone keeps selecting and selecting and selecting ... 2) I've kept the trackball inside as it should be and it stopped selecting until I moved the ball up and down the same process began again. Please provide your insight on this issue and how to fix it. Thanks in advance!

This almost sounds like a moisture issue. Has the device gotten wet lately? Or been somewhere that there is a lot of moisture (steamy bathroom) or maybe you talked on the phone with a sweaty face after a workout?

Mute button gone crazy !

HI,
Something very odd is happening: when I set a project to play, the mute button keeps coming on in multiple tracks. I've been using it regularly so I can work on single tracks, but don't understand when I've then unmuted the tracks, why it keeps coming on again - seemingly at random.
Even when I then unclick it, a few bars later, it is on again.
Thanks for any clues !
Kay

What about region automation... Select a region on the track that is being muted - a region that would be playing when the mute happens - open the event list. If there are mutes you should see them in the list.
And just to make sure... don't be offended... but are you aware that you can click on the 'volume' label when looking at track automation and select from different parameters that might also be automated? They are listed in bold at the bottom of the pop up menu.
Try turning of your keyboard or other control surface to see if it is malfunctioning.

DNG CONVERTER 8.3 Selection Buttons are gone!!! :(

This question was first posted by elizabethnengland Nov 25, 2014 9:59 PM and has NOT BEEN ANSWERED.
I now have EXACTLY the same problem.
So I am copying and slightly editing her original question in an effort to expedite this process.
I am using Windows Vista 32.
elizabethnengland, did you ever resolve this in your case?
~JLGGarciaph
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The issue I have run into is kind of hard to explain.
I downloaded the application & it worked fine the 1st 4 times I used it.
I closed it out, came back to the DNG converter the next day later & now it won't work.
I will click on the icon & unlike a normal program it doesn't pop up on the desktop. Instead, the icon will appear on the task bar & that's it.
So I click the icon on the task bar & it does take me to the program however, all of the selection buttons are not there.
There are either black boxes, or transparent areas showing whatever is under the program. (folder, etc. For ex. If there is no program running under, the desktop background is transparent in the program. Where the buttons should be, I can see my background.)
I do not have the option to do anything except minimize & close. I can not pick what files I want, where to put them. Anything.
I have deleted this program, reinstalled 8 times!!!
I have no idea what to do next.
PLEASE HELP!

OFF TOPIC:
I do not use Lightroom at all. I tried it in its first iterations and thoroughly detested it.
However, Adobe applications do not call on parts of each other, which is what I understand you to be saying in your last paragraph.
Inconsistency between or among applications in the artificial "suites" should come as no surprise.
The "suite" concept is a total fabrication of Adobe marketing and bean-counting types. The engineering teams are totally independent of each other, they are not only in different buildings but in different cities and states of the American Union, even in different countries.
The fact that they have little if any communication among them is highlighted by requests occasionally made in these forums by top Adobe engineers to let the other teams know when there are problems in one application that impact our workflow in another one.

Torch Select Button Doesn't Work with Keyboard Out

Hi there, need some help.
Just recently (2 wks) the middle select button has quit working on my torch when I have the keyboard extended. I can still scroll around the screen with it, but when I push it to "select" it does nothing. The button works normally when I have the keyboard put away so this seems like a software problem or setting I have wrong but I can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated as this is driving me crazy! Thanks.

Please try if a clean reboot will fix it. Remove the battery while the device is ON, replace it after a few seconds and let it reboot itself. Let us know if this resoves the issue.

Scene selection button disappeared forever

After struggling fruitlessly with DVD studio pro, (which refused to make a DVD that played on any machine other than my iMac,) I was forced to switch to iDVD, which behaves at least half-competently. I was editing a project and deleted the scene selection button that is generated automatically when importing a movie with chapter markers.
I saved the project and exited to re-export the movie, (several times, because final cut keeps finding ways to screw me over as well,) and when I went to re-import the movie, the scene selection button refused to appear. I tried restarting the program, deleting the project file, but it appears that the scene selection submenu is gone forever. What the hay apple? Why is it so easy to destroy functions in your applications?

Have you tried making a new idvd project? The scene selection should return ina new project. I am guessing that you made a quicktime movie with chapter markers from FCP or FCE. Open a new idvd project with a new name. Drag your QT movie into any area of the dvd widow except the drop zone. It should now say play movie and scene selection. If it does, drag you QT movie of still frame or whatever into the drop zone and burn. If it doesn't then you will need to delte your pref file found in the library to reset idvd to factory defaults.
If this doesn't work post your workflow. How are you exporting your movie to IDVD?

Gps gone crazy after 7.1 update

Hi everyone.
I ran my daily routine on a standart route. But after last ios update (7.1) my iphone 5's gps receiver gone crazy. I'm using Runkeeper for keeping data. But I've tried runtastic and moves too. Its all same. I attached a screenshot, so you can understand what I mean. I hope you can solve this problem quickly, because I'm losing money each day that I miss my commitment on the app "gympact".
Thanks

(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing will be reset

Photoshop CS5 Shortcuts Gone Crazy

The CS5 shortcuts were working fine for the past 2 weeks but now have gone crazy. When I hit Shift + F6, it flips my slection horizontally when it should bring up the Select > Modify > Feather. When I hit Shift + F5, it should bring up the Edit > Fill dialog box but instead it does a Select > Modify > Grow.
I deleted the PS Prefs file but that did not work. Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions on how to fix it?
Thanks & Regards, Murray

Zeno, no,I did not reprogram any and I checked Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts the list is as it should be - Shift+F5 still shows as Fill; Shift+F6 still shows as Feather;
Other wrong shorts:
Shift+F7 now functions as Transform>Flip Vertical
Shift+F8 now functions as Transform> Rotate 90 deg CW
Shift+F9 now functions as Transform> Rotate 90 deg CCW
None of these incorrect shortcuts shows up in the Keyboard Shortcuts table. There are no other keyboard shortcut configurations other than the PS default table.
As mentioned earlier I have has CS5 installed for 2 weeks now and used the Shift + F5 for Edit>Fill about 50 times a day. I used Shift + F6 to feather a few times as well.
Thanks and regards, Murray

Where has the visualizer button gone?

where has the visualizer button gone in the bottom right corner?
bit of a pain as i used it quite often

iTunes 7 is pretty smart overall, nevertheless I have a few serious gripes with the interface. Firstly the little 'snowflake' icon on the bottom right that switches on the visuals has been replaced by the browse and burn icons. Was there a problem with the previous layout? My wife and I use that button everytime we turn on the visuals on our Mac Mini sound system in the living room. It was super convenient because you could move in a single mouse sweep from selecting a playlist to switching on visuals. With iTunes 7 you have to either select from the pop-down menu or switch to the keyboard and press cmd+T. It might not seem such a big deal to some but it's definitely a backwards step, no matter how small.
The album art selector/display is very cool and niftily programmed however I'll never use it. The reason? Because if you fill it with album artwork, all those images are displayed over the visualiser at the start of each tune, which I HATE. I don't want sleeve designs ruining the beauty of G-Force which I paid good money to see. It's bad enough having the track info show when I already know what's playing! iTunes 7 is simply not configurable enough if you ask me, and hey, you shouldn't have to start configuring Fkeys to make up for the fundemental lack of choice in the program preferences.
I have a pal who loves the gapless playback in the new iTunes 7 because it's great for mix cds. Well maybe that's the best playback feature of iTunes 7 but I'm afraid it doesn't make up for the loss of the visualiser button, so there!

My 3GS has gone crazy

I have a 3Gs that has gone crazy. Out of a sudden, voice control starts, plays music and even makes calls sometimes, the phone starts switching between applications (closes and opens them) and I can't do anything to stop it even when I touch the cancel button. It does this over and over again. At the same time this problem happened, the home button stopped working. Well it works sometimes when I restart the phone but not always. I don't think it's a matter of pressing the button hard because when it works, it's always the same press I use as before.
I upgraded to iOS4 but the problem still exists. I hope someone out there can give a hand.
Thanks

I did restore the device couple of times and I still have the same problem .. And on more thing, everytime I restored it, I get a msg on iTunes that the device is in recovery mode and that I had to restore the device!!

Apple Wireless Keyboard Gone Crazy!

My Apple Wireless Keyboard's keys have either turned off or changed. For example, the keys QWERTYASDFGHZXCVBP123456,;'[]-=\[/ Do not work, and the others have gone crazy. They keys NMJKLIO Are displayed and/or work as:
N: 0
J: 1
K: 2
L: 3
I: 4
O:5
M:6
I am currently typing this with an USB Hewlett-Packard Keyboard, which my iMac Mid 2011 doesn't like.
Is there anyone that can tell me how to fix this, perhaps someone running Lion, so I don't have to look up the differences on how to do stuff.
Also It would be really helpful If someone posted the Microsoft Windows-OS X Keyboard keys conversions!
Thanks.

Wow, thats insane.
Firstly, go into System Preferences > Keyboard > check "Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar".
Now in the top menu bar you should see a new square icon with an asterisk in it, click and select "Show Keyboard Viewer". You can use this this graphical keyboard to input just as a regular keyboard, and also see which modifer keys correspond as you hold them down.
Now, I'm guessing whatever is wrong its probably not with OSX if you can use your HP.
But in any case you should disconnect any peripherals and restart your iMac, IF you don't have automatic login turned on I suggest you do beforehand, just in case the HP bombs out too.
Now after restart, delete your Apple wireless keyboard from Bluetooth Preferences device list, and then turn your apple keyboard off by pressing and holding the power until the green light goes off, then single press to turn back on. Now click + in the device list, or "Set Up Bluetooth Devise" from the Bluetooth menu bar icon - see if you can re-pair it and test it out.
If that doesn't work, its probably hardware and you should take it back to the Apple store.
Good luck man.

Where on earth has the wish list purchase button gone?

Where on earth has the iTunes wish-list purchase button gone?

There is no "buy" button. It only lists sharing with a friend or posting it on social media. I have no idea how to buy songs in my wish list.
It does not actually say "Buy." You just click on the price.

How can I just display the selected value of a listbox in a report without the reverse display and selection buttons?

I am using a table which contains a text field with a lookup. I want to use the selected value of this field in a form which is acting as a selection form. No editing of the field's value is permitted. How do I just display the value of the field (which
is considered a listbox on the form) without the reverse display and the up and down selection buttons.
I can provide an illustration of the condition I am trying to overcome, but this system doesn't accept it.
Thank you for any suggestions or clarification you can provide.
Marj Weir

Thank you. I'll try that approach.
I found, after much experimentation, on a similar problem involving a multiselect lookup field, that if I make the field invisible, and add a textbox that displays the fieldname plus .column(0), it displays all the selected entries.
E.g.: staff.Column(0)
Staff is the field containing the last names of selected staff members.
staff.Value only shows the first name in the lookup list whether it is checked or not, so this is useless.
staff.column(0), however, (inexplicably) shows all the selected names, e.g. Jones, Smith, Wiggins.

I have an older iPod that no longer shows up in iTunes or appears to be charging. When I press the Menu and Select buttons, the Apple logo appears and then an icon of a battery with an exclamation point. Is it dead for good?

If it is otherwise working, you can change the battery. If you want to do it yourself, you can buy the part on eBay and other online sources. Just make sure you know the type of iPod you have so that you get the right part.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
There are online guides, including the ones on this web site
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod
(Note: Most replacement batteries come with plastic/nylon tools seen in the guides.)
You can also have a repair business do the work.
If it is just the battery, if you do a Reset (using the Menu and Select buttons) while it is connect to your computer, I think it should still be recognized by iTunes.
