Two inert in some apps

I have a Unicomp keyboard for my Mac Pro (with OS X.4.11), and everything works well except for two keys on the numeric keypad, + and -, that are inert in some apps. They work as expected in a few apps, such as jEdit and Maple, but not in most, including Terminal, TextMate, Bean (a text editor), Firefox, and others.
The Keyboard Viewer shows that the OS detects the key press, but the message never gets to the app being used. I tried to add then in the Terminal -> Window Settings -> Keyboard -> Add, but they don't appear in the list of keys. Is there a way to insert them? I do know their Unicode IDs: for '+' it is \002B and for '-' it is \002D.
Or is that not the right way to go about fixing this problem?
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

For Terminal applications you can verify what codes are being sent by Terminal using something like:
cat -vt
+
This should show you want Terminal sees. If it displays the + and - then, then it is most likey your Unicode values (assuming your Terminal is set to display Unicode).
However, if you get an escape sequence, then the Terminal is maybe not treating your + and - as Unicode keys, but rather function keys.
Now how Terminal handles your keyboard will be different from how other applications and utilities deal with the keyboard. I'm just offering one way to discover maybe how the Terminal behaves.

I have two apple id's! Some apps cannot be updated

I have two apple Id's and some apps are registered to the old one. I have tried to upgrade the apps with the old apple id but I get an error message. How do I cancel the old Id and transfer the apps to the new one?

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple Id to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new ID.

Hi, I have just purchased a ipad mini for my wife and have registered it in my name so that i can add some apps that i think she would appreciate. However if i want to contact her using face time it is registered in my name, how do you get around that?

Hi I have just purchased an i pad for my wife and have registered it in my name to add some apps prior to giving the i pad to her. However, for using face time and games where you can link via wifi it will look as though there are two of the same, if I am trying to link her ipad to mine. How do you get around this?

We are sharing one account for 3 iphones, everytime one of us purchase some app, the app show up in the other iphone as well. How do we disable this?

Me, my wife and sis are using the same apple account for our 3 iphone.
Everytime one of us purchase a app online, the other two will have the same app installed automatically.
Sometimes is good, but most of the time, it's annoying.
Is there anyway to disable this?
Thanks,
W.

It's also dangerous that if you are downloading some app that is not good for your kids who is sharing the same account with you. They can easily turn on/off the app sharing without your notification.
So, if Apple can set an option that can control this from the pc instead of from the device, that will be much better to control than this!
I hope Apple is reading this!

Some apps crash out when I close their window and switch to the Finder

It has been doing this since day one. I'm a college student and bought a laptop to replace another really old mac system, to use as my main system. The issue I'm noting is that on some apps, if I close out their window and switch to the Finder, by either click on the desktop, or by command tabbing. The application seems to crash. I say 'seems' becuase I'm not certain it's crashing. It does this in Text Edit along with pages. I'm trying to find out if it's supposed to this or if it's supposed to be a new feature. There is never a crash log made that I know of, nor a dialog box stating the app crashed. However, it does this by itself, without my quiting out the app by command q nor file>quit.
This has been relatively minor and hasn't caused any large problems. To me it's an annoyance and inconviencning. Which is why I waited until summer break at school to investigate. Other classmates with older mac book pros but the same OS version have not had this problem. Wondering if I have a botched isntall of OS X from the factory. I've already had it in for service for the motherboard. The cooling system was not correctly attached to teh CPU at the factory and cooked itself.
I'm tempted to do a reload of the OS from the diagnostics partition the system came with. I haven't transferred much of anything from the previous system that this one is replacing. Now would be an ideal time to do anything of this nature rather than say in the middle of next semester.
The issue occurs in TextEdit, Pages, and that's it so far. I really have almost nothing loaded on the system. I dual boot into another OS for using Maya and other various software apps. The issue does not occur with Safari nor FireFox nor Preview. It seems confined to Pages and TextEdit. It can be extremely annoying however when typing an essay in Pages. Perhaps it's a feature that was introduced that I can turn off? Going from a 5 year old Mac Mini to a MBP, LOTS has changed.

Sorry for taking so long to reply. It's still doing it. I'm kind of wondering if something like a preferences file is corrupted, however, I have to do a total system reload to begin with to eliminate any potential corrupt data on the windows 7 install.
Back story. When I first got this thing it was running super ridiculously hot. It's the first laptop I've ever owned however so I had nothign to use for reference. After about two months of it getting brutally hot, it did a BSOD in the windows 7 install I did via bootcamp. It never turned back on. Took it to the Apple store in Novi MI and they stated it somehow ran so brutally hot the CPU did a solder reflow and the whole motherboard shorted out. Even worse though, I had gotten this hot before rendering stuff in Maya and Vue. I had done burn in tests when I first received the system, it had passed, or so I thought. They couldn't even get the system to turn on at the Apple Store.
The tech at the apple store told me that one of the heat sink pins on the CPU just plan broke off and another wasn't attached correctly. Essentially the system kept overheating as I was consisently completely maxxing out the system doing CGI test renders for my junior animated short film. The cooling system was never fully connected at the factory according to the Apple Tech. I don't know how literate everyone reading this is on computer engineering but, when you overheat an IC, whether it's an ASIC or CPU, they dont' immediately crash, they corrupt data. To further complicate the mess and increase teh chances of data corruption, with the 4th gen Intel i series CPUs (which the MBP uses), they moved the northbridge directly into the CPU die. So if teh CPU is overheating, the chances of data corruption inadvertantly go up even higher. I'm suspecting that happened in the first few days of owning the system but that it was minor at that point. It can take months for the effects of corrupted data to propagate out and be visible to the user.
I would assume that they did a diagnostic test on the SSD when it was in for service, to ensure the SSD didn't overheat. The tech did state that if the drive failed the diagnostics, they would have ot replace the drive and henceforth all my data would be gone. Not really a way around it.
Currently under the windows 7 install with Maya and Vue, later iterations of the scene file, from Maya, for my animated short film, have a reproduceable glitch involving a gamma shift and camera selection. Part of the scene files seem to be corrupt and were saved that way.
Reloading the OS from the recovery partition did not fix the original problem I've been having that I initially asked for help with. I'm considering wiping out the recovery partition in addition to reinstalling windows 7 and OS X again, it would be the only way to completely eliminate the possibility of any corrupted data floating around on either partition. I don't have a way of knowing if corrupted data was written to the SSD beyond the corrupted Maya scene files. The only way I can be sure that it's 'contained' or eliminated, is if I completely wipe the drive and start from scratch. Now would be a great time rather than in the middle of working on my senior thesis for my BFA degree.
I'm wondering if you could point me to documentation showing how to wipe out all the partitions, including the recovery one. My understanding is that there is a way to do a 'net boot' or 'net recovery' over a broadband connection using Apples servers. The idea of doing a Live boot from a Ubuntu distro to run fsck is appealing but it would be pointless. The file system shoul be fine, it's the data the file system points to that I suspect is corrupted at somepoint. Unless you recommend otherwise and or formatting.
The overheating also corrupted my journal but there is no way to recover it, I overwrote the earlier file(it looks like uncompiled C++ and jibberished text) when I saved it after completing an entry. This was many months ago. Though the idea of attempting a restore with Ubuntu Remix or other recovery Linux distros is appealing I'm doubtful I'd get far, though it's an SSD not a traditional harddrive and they don't work the same.
Back to the main point though, I suspect the overheating corrupted a prefs file which is causing the glitch I'm seeing, and reloading the OS did not fix it.

No keyboard rotation in some apps

Hello,
in some apps (in landscape modus), when I want to give in some text, the keyboard will be opened into portrait mode.
So i have to rotate the iPhone, then I give in my text, and after sending text, I have to rotate back to landscape modus.
Happens onto iPhone 4, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 plus, iPad mini and iPad Air after updating to iOS 8 - 8.02.
For example into this App you can see it:
http://www.gameloft.com/HOC/

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.

Do some app publishers allow use of both the ipad and iphone versions, even if different?

Do some app publishers allow use of both the iPad and iPhone versions, even if one is coded differently for the iPad? Buy one and get both.

Their language makes it abiguous. When you go to the apps store there are two versions.

If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted. I think that's what you are experiencing.

If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.

External speakers not working in some apps

Just set up new MacPro running Snow Leopard.
External speakers working fine in some apps but not others (iTunes plays perfectly, but mail notification audio in mail app runs through computer speakers -- at very low volume). Checked preferences. Nothing set differently than from old G5. Am I missing something here?
Anyone have similar situation? If so, what can I do to fix.
Thanks.

There are two settings to check. Under the Sound Preference Pane, check the first tab, Sound Effects. Check the drop down setting for "Play sound effects through:" and make sure that setting is correct. Then check the Output setting and make sure your speakers are selected.

I Forgot Some Apps I Paid For

Hi. I forgot some apps I paid for and I don't think I have it backed up in iTunes. How do you display just the apps you paid for? If a query like that is not possible, is there another way to display just your paid apps?
There're only two buttons on App Store- Free and $x.xx (x is a variable which stands for the amount and currency, so xx.xx for other currencies), I think there should be a third button named Paid so that there's no confusion between Free because it is totally free/Lite version or Free because it was already paid for. Thank you in advance.
Gbu,
Alvin

Go into the account settings/management for the iTunes Store and you can view download history.

My screen temperature changes when I launch some apps

I have a problem. It started when I switched to an SSD and changed the RAM, but I think it's a software issue. It stopped for a while and then cambe back again.
Basically when I start some apps (and not everytime, sometimes it does sometime it doesn't), like Byword, Lightroom, Keynote, Pixelmator, Pages, for example, but never Safari to name one, the screen temperature suddenly changes to a colder tone. When I close all these apps the screen turns back to the normal warm temp.
Running the console I think I have found the issue is related with this message, which pops in when I open and close these apps:
10/28/12 10:37:39.217 PM WindowServer[75]: Received display connect changed for display 0x4272dc0
I'm posting two photos from my camera to make you see the problem, as it doesn' obviously show in screenshots:
Warm:
Cold:
Does anyone know hot solve this or to what it might be related (video card is what comes to my mind, but I refuse to aknwledge that my hard drive, RAM and video card failed at the same time)?
Thanks
(Also my Mac takes 30s+ to go to sleep)

This sounds like an issue with the System Management Controller (SMC). 1). Shutdown your MacBook Pro, 2). Make sure the MagSafe adapter is connected, 3). Press and hold the LEFT Option+Control+Shift keys on the MacBook Pro keyboard, 4). While still holding the previous keys, hit the power button in the top right corner. It won't look like your Mac did anything, but trust me, it did. You just reset the SMC. Now boot the Mac normally. Wait for it to fully boot-up, and then see if this is still an issue. I had this very same issue on my MacBook Pro after the latest SMC update, and resetting the SMC fixed it.

Can't run some apps on enjoy 7

hi guys, I have a msi enjoy 7. I can't run some apps like angry birds (yes, I want to play sometimes).
any idea why the game won't run?

thanks for your help

That post won't help your situation as you are not talking to MSI here like I already said two posts above:

My iPhone is getting stuck for a few seconds everytime I do something, if i type a letter it will type it twice or a few times, if i click to close the browser it stucks there for a few seconds before closing, if i try to open some app it gets stuck there

My iPhone is getting stuck for a few seconds everytime I do something, if i type a letter it will type it twice or a few times, if i click to close the browser it stucks there for a few seconds before closing, if i try to open some app it gets stuck there.
I have restored it and loaded the backed up material again. But this problem doesnt seem to go away. Sometimes it is too much sometimes it is not noticeable, so what exactly could be wrong and what ALL should I do to get it fixed? Please reply.

I did that many times, I mean I do it everytime. But it doesnt seem to help. It is strange sometimes the phone is slow and stucks for a many seconds, sometimes it is just one or two seconds. Thank you for your help though, but is there something else that you could think of?

Why can't I see some app in mac app store which i see in iPad app store

Some app (eg. youtube downloader) , I can see this app when i go to app store using my iPAD but when I go on using MacBook Pro store does not show it..
I access the same store using both devices... Why????

They are not the same stores. The App Store for iOS devices is the iTunes App Store with apps developed for the iOS , the operating system for iOS devices. The Mac App Store is the store with apps developed to run on Mac computers, which use the OS X operating system. The apps for the Mac do not run on iOS devices and the apps for iOS devices do not run on Macs.
Some developers have created versions of their apps for each of the two operating systems, but certainly not all developers. SO if the developer has not created an app for both systems you are out of luck.

Some apps have no sound since updating my iPad to ios7. Any ideas?

Two apps I have that catalogue YouTube golf clips have no sound since I updated to iOS 7. If I play the clips from You Tube, they work!!! The .03 update has not helped. Am I the only one or are other having issues with sound?

Apple does not provide an option to downgrade to a previous version of iOS. If glitches occur wth some apps, try a reboot:
press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go.
Something else to try:
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. Some users report this speeds up their devices.
