Unusual problem with NumPad

I have quite an unusual problem with my iMac and I'm hoping someone has the answer. I will do my best to explain what's going on.
I started using a new program called Blender, which is an open source 3D modeling suite. In it, there are hotkeys which are required to function the program, like, CONTROL + NUMPAD 1, 2, 3 and so on...
I have a full size keyboard with NUMPAD, so this is not a problem for me. However...
When I attempt to press CONTROL + NUMPAD 1 (for example), it does not trigger the correct function in Blender. Instead, it switches SPACES to the corresponding SPACE. So, if I press CONTROL + NUMPAD 3, it displays my THIRD SPACE.
This seemed simple enough to fix. I opened System Preferences, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts and changed the hotkeys for SPACES to COMMAND, rather than CONTROL. However, this did not fix the problem entirely. Even though it managed to disable my top row of numbers as hotkeys for switching spaces, it did NOT change the NUMPAD functionality. If I hit CONTROL + NUMPAD 3, it STILL switched to my third space, despite me altering the hotkey to be COMMAND + #. It continues...
I didn't really need this functionality from SPACES so I decided to try disabling it altogether. Once again, I opened System Preferences, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts but THIS time, I unchecked "Switch to Desktop 1,2,3,4" hotkeys so as to disable the funtionality entirely. Despite this, it STILL did not work. I was STILL able to press CONTROL + NUMPAD #, and switch to the corresponding SPACE. I restarted OS X hoping something might change but it did not. I CANNOT disable this functionality and it is hijacking the ability to operate the Blender program.
The problem gets stranger...
I ask my Fiance, who has an identical iMac AND keyboard, running OS X Lion just as I am to attempt to perform similar actions. She was NOT able to switch SPACES by pressing CONTROL + NUMPAD #. Ironically, under HER system preferences, the keyboard shortcuts were all enabled and defaulted to CONTROL + #, yet she could not duplicate my problem on her iMac. As you can imagine, I was getting quite confused at this point and very frustrated. We tried switching keyboards. Same thing. On my iMac, I cannot disable the SPACES hotkey CONTROL + NUMPAD # and on my Fiance's iMac, she can not ENABLE it.
In summary, whenever I press CONTROL + NUMPAD #, OS X switches to the corresponding SPACE. I've tried disabling the shortcuts under System Preferences but the problem persists. My Fiance has the exacty OPPOSITE problem and cannot enable the functionality. It's not the keyboard and we're running identical iMacs running OS X Lion. Any help would be INCREDIBLY appreciated! Thanks!

As a matter of fact, I do have a solution, at least, one that one my laptop.
First, a couple of trouble shooting steps:
Create a new user a log as the new user. If the new user doesn't have they Control-Numpad issue, you are probably looking at a user preferences issue.
Start in safe mode (hold shift while booting). Any number of extensions may map these keys for you (as a favor, of course)
That said, I suspect that this is a user preferences issue; such as it was for me.
The solution is to remove the symbolichotkeys property list file; it should be regenerated cleanly when you next log in. The two files you need to remove are:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist.lockfile
I always suggest having a system backup before fiddling, and I moved the files to my desktop temporarily (just in case!) before rebooting, testing, and finally deleting them.
Here is some information on the files:

Let me know if that solves your problem; it was a bear to track down.

Unusual problem with N95

Hello guys, as title says i have an unusual problem with my Nokia n95. Friend gave me few days ago and I wanted to update software at it, i did it few HRs ago (from 21.x to 31.0.017) and now I have problem. The thing is from when i did the update the phone keep lighting camera and up-down buttons from some time intervals( i'm not sure how much). I even did Initial restart and i've re-installed software also.. Any idea how to fix this ?
Thanks anyway!

Yeah thats what i did last, for now it's not lighting every time just when I ( for example enter camera, make photo/zoom and close application,after that i'ts lighting for few minuts), it's not about mask, I've tested it already with not mask ..
It never happened before I updated the device..

Unusual Problem with Yahoo and Apple Mail

I hope it doesn't turn out that the user is the thing that is "unusual."
Background:
Devices: MBP, iPad, iPhone, iMac
Mail accounts: Gmail, mobileme, Yahoo
MBP settings: uses "default ports", SSL, and user name and password - Advanced Tab: Port 993 and SSL
iPad/iPhone settings: SMTP server settings - grayed-out - with SSL checked and Port 465
As of last night, I found four messages that were stuck in my Sent box, with the spinning gear that would not stop. This only happens when using my Yahoo account, and it only happens when sent from my MPB. It is also only related to outbound messages.
Now for the part that has me perplexed. My password for Yahoo (web), is the same as the password on my MBP (Apple Mail). The passwords that I have on the iPhone and iPad, are the same for both, but they're different than the password for the previous two that I mentioned. When I changed the password on my MBP to match the one that's on my mobile devices, it came up with an error for an incorrect username or password.
How can I have different passwords and still have mail working? What am I missing? Also - more to the point of my issue, can anyone offer some suggestions as to why the outbound side of Apple Mail, is not working for Yahoo?
Thank you.

Sorry...it's too bad you can't delete questions... Problem solved - port number needed to be changed, and the password was deleted for some reason. I still don't know why I see two different passwords for the same account.... Thanks for looking.

Unusual Problem with Matrix

Hi Guys,
I have a matrix which is on the UDO form. I have bound all the columns with DB DataSources. I have one column of combobox type where in the back end i have the valid values
"1-Approved"
"2-Pending"
"3-Rejected"
The problem here is that when the form is opened the matrix column only shows values 2 and 3 ("2-Pending","3-Rejected").
I also have another Column with 2 Valid values, again facing the same problem. Only one value is being shown.
But in the backend when i check in the "Manage User Fields" Screen all the 3 Valid values are visible.
Am i doing something wrong..??
Thanks in Advance,
Vasu Natari.

Hi,
For me, even if the validvalues are added, it is working. Real.
Here is a code for matrix columns, and it is shows me on the form the description.
You must have to add of course validvalues to show the description (as in the description). This sample
is shows you the ship types of orders. You also can use userdatasources....
Sub ComboDesc()
        Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form = m_SBO_Application.Forms.Add("TEST_MTX")
        oForm.Visible = True
        Dim oitem As SAPbouiCOM.Item = oForm.Items.Add("MTX", SAPbouiCOM.BoFormItemTypes.it_MATRIX)
        With oitem
            .Top = 5
            .Left = 5
            .Width = oForm.Width - 15
            .Height = oForm.Height - 15
            .AffectsFormMode = False
        End With
        Dim oMatrix As SAPbouiCOM.Matrix = oitem.Specific
        Dim oColumns As SAPbouiCOM.Columns = oMatrix.Columns
        Dim oDBDataSource As DBDataSource = oForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Add("ORDR")
        Dim oColumn As SAPbouiCOM.Column = oColumns.Add("#", SAPbouiCOM.BoFormItemTypes.it_EDIT)
        With oColumn
            .TitleObject.Caption = "#"
            .Description = .TitleObject.Caption
            .Width = 30
            .DataBind.SetBound(True, "ORDR", "DocEntry")
            .Editable = False
        End With
        oColumn = oColumns.Add("COL1", SAPbouiCOM.BoFormItemTypes.it_COMBO_BOX)
        With oColumn
            .Width = 80
            .TitleObject.Caption = "ShipType"
            .Description = .TitleObject.Caption
            .Editable = False
            .DataBind.SetBound(True, "ORDR", "TrnspCode")
            .DisplayDesc = True
            .Visible = True
        End With
        Dim vv As SAPbouiCOM.ValidValues = oColumn.ValidValues
        Dim ors As SAPbobsCOM.Recordset = ocmp.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset)
        ors.DoQuery("select * from OSHP")
        Do While Not (ors.EoF)
            vv.Add(ors.Fields.Item(0).Value, Left(ors.Fields.Item(1).Value, 30))
            ors.MoveNext()
        Loop
        oDBDataSource.Query()
        oMatrix.LoadFromDataSource()
    End Sub

Unusual problem with display

Hi Linuxers!
I installed Arch ( netinstall) for about week ago and It works great! Everything started to work almost "out-of-box". I just had to install few things but I did it without any problems - just using wiki on this page
I installed gnome and gnome-extra ( or something like that - I do not remember exactly ) and, off course, nvdia driver from pacman ( I have GT320M ). On this lap top I have Ubuntu 9.04, too, with installed nvidia driver downloaded from nVidia site.
Now... PROBLEM is next:
when I work on Arch, after few minutes, my eyes start to pain ( hurt ) me! I do not see anything strange, anything what is to much different than in Ubuntu but it's just hapening... I tried to change font, but it doesn't help! Refresh rate is 60Hz, resolution 1600x900 ( in NVIDIA X Server Settings ) Here is SS:

Does anyone have idea what is posible problem? Do you have same problem when watching my ScreenShoot?

@Cyrusm: It is lap top 17" monitor and in nvidia setting there is only 60hz and Auto options. I set it to 60 just like in Ubuntu.
@ngoonee: why do you hate color scheme, it's default Gnome there I tried allready change of theme, but problem is not solved...

Twice experienced an unusual problem with my iPod touch 5th generation running iOS 8.0: crashes and disables power up. HOME and POWER pressed together to reset.

iPod touch 5th generation running iOS 8.0. iOS crashed twice, disabling power up. The only recovery was pressing and holding the home and power buttons together for several seconds. The iPod touch then went into restore mode. I've never experienced, heard or read of an iOS crash preventing normal power up: device has known battery charge, does not respond to pressing power button or connecting to AC charger.

That happens some times. Try:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem/it still keeps recurring, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Very unusual problem with DataProvider

Hi everyone
I followed this tutorial
http://developers.sun.com/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/inserts_updates_deletes.html
to create a somewhat similar page, using a MySQL data source.
Everything worked fine, until I tested the application with Hebrew and Russian text. It stores the text in the database as question marks ("hello" becomes "?????").
First I made sure the MySQL db accepts the strings, and from the console I could insert and select text in both languages just fine. All tables were defined with utf8 charset.
Next I tried to read hebrew text from the db thru the application, and I got weird characters.
I looked for every locale/lang/language/encoding property I could find and they were all set to UTF-8.
Anyone knows how can I fix this or where should I start looking?

Update: When I right-click my table in the Servers view, select "view data" and get to the Query window it also displays hebrew and russian text incorrectly.
So maybe there's something that needs to be configured in the MySQL driver?
Any suggestions/thoughts very appreciated.

Unusual problem with Photoshop Elements 10

When using Photoshop Elements 10 on my computer I find it to be very difficult to move the "box" around on my desktop. I have to click on it many time in order to get it to move.

I have noticed that it is a memory hog and sometimes won't respond for up to a minute when I click on pictures or try to move down the organizer in a large group of photos of 60 or 70 pics. I thought maybe I could install more ram but my windows pc is maxed out at 4 gb of ram. I just wait until it finally responds but it does get annying when my impatience sets in.

Unusual problem with my order. Help.

I have three lines on my plan.
On June 17th I ordered two HTC Incredible for my better half and I (Mom likes her flip phone).
June 30th I found out about the Droid X coming soon, so I went to my local store and asked them to cancel the Incredible for my number and add me to the list for the new phone. She said my phone would be refunded, and then when the Droid X becomes available I need to come back and pay for the new one.
My better half still wants the Incredible so no changes were made to that part of the order.
Today, I look at my CC account online, and it shows two refund entrees, one for the price of each Incredible.
I went to the Verizon store and talked to the person who changed the order last week. She says the computer shows she did everything right and I believe her. Someone further along in the refund process changed the order to cancel both Incredibles.
She told me she would talk to her manager later, and the best thing I could do is come here, and hope someone can help escalate my order.
So here I am.
It's been a little more than three weeks, and my better half’s phone is dying a slow death, and there is no new phone in sight.

She told you to come to the forums?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? That doesn't make sense these are peer to peer forums. VZW reps look occasionally generally only Moderators participate in discussions. You might occasionally see customer service people pop in but not usually to do any kind of customer servicing usually just answering questions or making suggestions. If she told you to go online you should probably check on the contact us link. I don't know what they can or will do that she can't but I can't imagine she told you to come to us, your fellow Verizon customers for escalation of a support issue.

Problem with OSControl xtra

Hi all,
I have this rather unusual problem with the OSControl Xtra. I
recently paid for it $160 (a price which is extremely high for me
as I am student). Unfortunately i had to format my computer and I
completely forgot to write down my director's serial number (the
control was locked with the particular serial number). Also, the
original email containing the serial number was lost in my first
virus attack several months ago. Now, in order to activate director
again I had to buy a new serial... and this is where the problem
begins... the company refuses to activate the control again using
my new serial and they are asking me to either pay another $160
dollars or to upgrade to their site license (thats almost $500) or
to spend more money to buy an older copy of Director. This is the
worst customer support that I have seen, and I must say that I will
suggest everyone I know to avoid them at all cost... and you know
what they say...
loose one customer and many more will follow... Any thoughts
or advice will be greatly appreciated.
PS1: Because of this I had to stop my developments and start
looking for an alternative solution.... a solution tat will cost me
more money and more time...

Video problem with CS4.2

I am having an unusual problem with my cs4 programs, noticed most within PPro and AE. Quite frequently my entire monitor image will momentarily shift a few pixels down and to the right. It will return to its correct alignment within less than a second. Also, when I click on a menu item, the drop down menu will appear correctly for about a second then disappear until I run my cursor over the area where the menu should be. At which point the menu will reappear one line at a time beneath the cursor. When the item appears, I can activate it normally with one click of the mouse. This also happens when I access my title screen, Media Encoder screen (from within PPro), etc. The programs have also started freezing on me more frequently, requiring me to close out using Task Manager; sometimes even requiring a reboot. Otherwise, the programs seem to function fine.
I operate in WinXP Pro and work in standard def with the following hardware (all drivers are up to date):
     Asus p5q3 deluxe motherboard with 4gigs of memory
     ATI Radeon HD 2900xt with 512mb of memory
     Matrox RT.x2
I know just enough about computers to be dangerous, but I'm wondering if this sounds like a video card problem. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you.

Bob,
You are correct. Once upon a time I had the Canopus DVStorm with Premiere 6.x and it worked great (and a DVRaptor before that). Then came Premiere Pro and the problems that the DVStorm had were insurmountable so I dumped it and got the RTX-100 which was reputed to be about as good as the DVStorm was in the past. Was I disappointed! It just did not work reliably, hangs, BSOD's, unresponsivess and then when PR CS2 came out you effectively had to get the RTX.2, which was paramount to throwing the RTX.100 down the drain. It seemed to me that with every new version of CSx you needed to get a new Matrox card at extravagant prices for what it offered and still had to wait very long for decent drivers to come out. It just wasn't worth the effort anymore. And when you look here at problems that people experience, the common denominator is usually the Matrox card. So, yes, I am glad I got rid of it and found a very useful purpose for the card: a doorstopper, which must have been the intention of the engineers to start out.
About Win7: No, I did not have any doubts at all, but in my case I was lucky enough to have a high level network consultant with all kinds of certificates and an impressive experience to advise me and he juist plain told me: "You DON'T want Vista!!! GET WIN7!!! I have been using it for several RC's and it is a revelation." Now after installing and using it for some time, I can only agree.
