Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
It seems likely that your digitizer (which is the top portion of the screren which recognizes your stylus taps and converts them into commands) is failing, although there are things that you can try to diagnose it. One thing is to remove any screen protector you have installed, and see if the behavior continues. The second is to fold over the corner of a piece of paper and use the folded edge as a "scoop" by sliding it underneath the frame that goes around the screen. The idea is to pull out any dirt or grit that has accumulated under there over time, which can interfere with the digitizer's function.
If that does not remedy the problem, you can try one of several software fixes such as DigiFix which can help in some cases.
If none of that works, you might just be in need of a replacement digitizer. They can be found at www.pdaparts.com or www.usedpdaparts.com and you can either do the repair yourself, or they will do it for you at a reasonable cost.
All of these solutions, and more, are discussed in this lengthy thread in the Hardware board.
Good luck.

My "caps lock" key and "P" key do not respond on my 2009 macbook pro unibody
I recently bought a used macbook pro for university. When I bought it the guy who had it before me was running windows 7 on the machine. (why ruin a mac with windows software? I have no idea) I love macs and everything about them so I decided to wipe the hard drive clean and run OSX like any other normal mac user... well now the "caps lock" and "P" keys do not respond at all!!! I've checked my keyboard settings and keyboard and character viewer and its only those keys that do not respond!! Any ideas how I could reset the hardware? (I have a feeling he had to configure the keys to windows software) And yes, I did see the keys work when I bought it!! Does anybody know apples policy on applecare? like what would I need to bring in to redeem it? (I know this computer is warrantied until 2013)
I got the exact same roblem- you can see that, "p" missing in the word problem.
And Caps lock doesn't work either.
A few hours ago, I had problem with Shift keys. They were stuck, I don't know which one but everything would be capatalized and minimizing windows would be very slow. Then the repairman at a Mac Support center (authorized reseller, no Apple stores here) took off the back cover and cleaned a small chord or something and the Shift problem vanished and this one appeared. The guy thinks it's related to keyboard- must be!- and I need to change it. Could there be any other option?
ps: I copied and pasted all the 'p's in this piece.

Punctuation and comma keys do not respond
Macbook Air 11" - 2012 running Lion.
The period and the comma keys appear to be "dead" - not responding, also not when shift or other keys pressed simultaneous.
All other keys appear to function as usual.
There was no prior incident - they simply stopped working all of a sudden.
Hoping someone can help - either with an idea on how to test what the problem may be (software or hardware functionality test)
- or with a cure...
Thanks!
PerDid you find the solution ?
I just got this same problem on 2014-12-24 with my Mac Air 2011 version
- After update to Yosemite OS - the same problem remains
- Notice that I can't do period or comma here (nor the the upper case of the same keys for "greater than" and "less than" symbols
- Could it be a hardware problem ?
- 2 things occurred at about the same period of time when the problem showed up
- (1) I was brushing my teeth with baking soda and sneezed with 2 drops of liquid on the computer (I don't think the liquid drops
were on the 2 problematic keys
- (2) while trying to get a bit torrent but was interceded by another software download recommendation which I ignored
and closed the website - computer did act strange and not sure if there was any software damage
Can "Apple Support team" reply and address this problem ? -
I bought a new wireless keyboard 3 days ago and the number "1" key is not responding. My old wireless keyboard did the same. What am I doing wrong with the setup or installation.

my keyboard on macbook pro (laptop) is acting weird. One key is not responding at all. Have verified using Keyboard viewer and some other keys are printing the unresponsive character at random. "z" is the unresponsive character.
Is it a damaged keyboard ?
The laptop is just 2 months old, will Apple replace it with a new one if its indeed a damaged keyboard or just repair, I use it for official purposes so being without a laptop is not much of an option.No one here works for Apple, so we don't know what Apple might or might not do. If it's a genuine defect, they will of course repair it under warranty. It is not their responsibility if it effects your ability to work or not, so that's on you.
If, however, they determine that the key is problematic as a result of your misuse of the laptop, then everything is on you. And trust me, if they find a glob of dried up beer or coffee there, they will charge you.
Your only choice is to take it in for repair. -
I installed mavericks today and the mail will not open and just keeps on not responding how do I get it back I have force quit it a number of times now
Open the system menu via Alt+Space or click the Firefox icon on the title bar and see if you can resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

09 I Mac goes asleep ends up with a spinning disk on the screen and the mac will not respond has to be rebooted
First this:
In EnergySaver deselect "put the hard disk to sleep when possible". You must logout after the setting to make this effective.
This probably will not solve it, but let it be deselected.
When the issue is still there:
Open Terminal;
copy/paste following command (after every command hit "enter" key)
pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
when the answer is not 3 write it down;
then copy/paste following command
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
reboot
Open Terminal;
copy/paste following command
sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage
after that type EXIT in Terminal and close Terminal.
This does following for you:
it will set the hibernatemode to zero: the sleepimage (a copy of the complete ram) will not be written and the space on the HD is freed up.
This sleepimage does not do anything for you but taking time at sleep/hibernate and startup. It is an old remnant of earlier days. -
Some of the keys do not respond when trying to key in text and numbers. For instance the upshift keys does not go to uppercase but to the number keys in Notes. In the number keypad such as when you key in your PIN code the numbers 7,8,9 would not respond. I restored it so I no longer have to enter a PIN code but it is near impossible to text, email or even sign in to iTunes
If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

XSERVE 10.6.8 is running very slow, and Workgroup Manager is not responding. There is no more updates to download.

1. upgrade to lion, which should over write previous software and the reasons for it being slow.
No, you don't want to upgrade over a buggy system, Lion has issues of it's own that will only complicate matters, plus Lion is slower than Snow Leopard.
Learn all the pitfalls before you upgrade to Lion, like all your Rosetta/older programs will no longer work and more.
Leave Lion for a new hardware purchase is my advice, it's still got plenty of security and other issues.
For your performance, your likely better off replacing the hard drive with a 7,200 RPM model and maxing the RAM, download the free MacTracker to find out your specs, and OtherWorld Computing is good for videos, tools and parts.

2. Format the hard disc and reinstall snow leopard.
That will work, provided your data is off the machine first.
Now how do i reinstall snow leopard as it was an online purchased upgrade from leopard.
The 10.6 Snow Leopard disk that you upgraded 10.5 Leopard from actually has the full OS X 10.6 on it.
All you have to do is stick the disk in and hold the c key down while booting, use Disk Utility to erase the entire drive, quit and install 10.6.
Of course your not going to get the free iLife that came with the 10.5 grey disks, see if you can first install 10.5 with the same methods, then setup with the same user name as before, then upgrade to 10.6
I think Apple nulled booting off the 10.5 disks, but it won't hurt to try.
Another method would be to install 10.6 fresh by itself, then use the program called Pacifist to extract iLife from the 10.5 disks.

During typing sporadically keys do not respond immediately.
Sometimes (not constant) when typing, the key does not respond immediately. If I wait 15-30 sec. Then it responds as we'll as additional keys I may have tapped. Also when attempting to save an email to a specific folder, I tap the "save" icon then in the left when I tap on the specific email account to get to th specific folder, the iPad 4 freezes momentarily and after a few seconds (5-15) it decides to continue. This doesn't happen all the time only intermittently.

IPad 2 - did an erase and reset and now it will not respond
I did an erase and reset on my iPad 2 and now it will not respond, not even by plugging it in to a computer.
I attempted to do this last night before 10pm and it is after 1pm and is still "cycling". (The little circle in the middle of a black screen that just goes round and round)
I've tried to power off with side and front buttons and I have plugged it into the computer as well. Computer is not recognizing it is even there.
HELP!Powering Off by using the two buttons? Did you reboot it this way?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
