Weird Keyboard error.

I'm having an interening issue, well two.
Fi0rst off I am Running OS 10.5.8 and I am using a Full apple keyboard model number 2171.
Now two things, first my G5 is running a little slow, it takes a few seconds for the graphies to kick over and second, well its as if the right or down arrow key os held down, prutty much sending the cureser to the right side of the screen.
Dose anyone have any idea's on what I shouyld do?
I gave the keyboard a look over and there dosen't seem to be anything wrong, the other thing is that I pluged my mac keyboard into my Windows PC and works without the issue.

Since the keyboard works fine on another computer, you probably have a software glitch, or an internal hardware problem.
Try the answer by den.thed in this discussion that is marked as 'This solved my question":
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18836197#18836197
If that doesn't work, you could try:
1) resetting the PRAM
2) resetting the SMU
3) running Disk Utility and Repair Permissions on your startup drive
Which exact iMac G5 model do have? It's now several years old, and the PRAM battery might need replacing, which is an easy do-it-yourself on some models. The iMac G5 iSight is the only model that you shouldn't do this on your own - take it to an Apple Authorized Repair facility. The PRAM battery for all G5s is this:

If you have your original - came with the iMac - install discs, you could restart the computer using it and use the Apple Hardware Test program, which would test the RAM, logicboard, etc., but not the keyboard.
Good luck.

Weird keyboard in KDE...

I don`t know what have happened, but right now I`ve got weird keyboard in KDE. When I press <Up> KSnapShot is taking print screen. I cannot browse my console commands in terminal, only in Multi-user runlevel. Direction buttons from numeric part of the keyboard 2-4-6-8 took role of the <Up> <Down> ... buttons. [Delete] button is out of order. I`ve even lost control over my HP QuickPlay buttons.
What thing did that?

Weird keyboard behavior PS CS3

Hi all,
Every now and then it seems like my keyboard has gone nuts.
This always happens inside PS CS3. After doing some actions, especially when doing a 'Shift-Alt-Arrow key' action (duplicating a layer or group and moving), it looks as if the keyboard goes in some sort of 'Alt-Always-On' modus.
The annoying thing about this is, that regular keyboard-shortcuts for selecting a tool don't work (pressing 't' for the type tool does nothing) but far worse is the fact when you want to move a layer or group of layers they get unwantedly duplicated.
Sometimes this behavior seems to disappear, when I click around my desktop (outside of Photoshop), but sometimes it doesn't disappear. The only thing left to get rid of it is to quit and relaunch PS.
Does anyone else have this problem, and how can it be solved.
This weird keyboard thing does only appear in PS, every other application is not affected by it.
I'm running PS CS3 on Windows XP SP3
I have all updates of PS CS3 installed

Zeno,
I feel so stupid, but that also crossed my mind.
And to be honest, I think that is really the reason.
Why didn't I think of that before...

[solved] laptop - weird keyboard behaviour

Hello,
since upgrading to kernel 3.2.1.1 (same with 3.2.1.2) I have a weird keyboard behaviour.
I have to press ESC to leave this weird mode.
This problem is similiar to
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=86026
Do some people have the same problem?
My laptop is Dell Vostro 1310.
// ok... this never was a kernel software issue
// my keyboards shift was just a bit... loosely

same for me, for about one week, on 2 different systems. I'm using KDE4 but some other people reported this problem on Gnome too. It generally stops when I strike the key again a few times.
It happened when I showed someone how cool Linux was, and then it opened 60 occurences of the same images I wanted to cut and paste...

Really weird quicktime error - showing stuff beneath it?

I'm getting a really weird quicktime error like something I've never seen before. It's been happening for a few weeks now I guess, but I don't recall quite when it began.
Basically, almost any video I open in it ends up splicing into fragments. The audio works fine, but the video shows part of the video, then part of the windows behind it, then the desktop, then the video, and cycling back again and splicing through.
I'm up to date on everything and I ran disk permissions and I can't figure out what's going on. It's definitely quicktime though - it's affecting my iTunes and my Finder video previews as well, across a whole range of codecs. It doesn't affect VLC or mPlayer.
Any idea what to do?

A&I reinstalls the OS over the existing OS (to the version on your install DVD that came with the MacBook) but leaves user files and installed applications intact. You should still do a clone on an external drive first though. Or at least backup all your data files.
After A&I you then use the downloadable combo updater for OSX and the latest QT for QT, and then after reboot repair permissions. You can then run Software Update for the other updates like iLife etc.
If your install DVD was for 10.4.X and you are not on 10.5 then don't use the original DVD use the 10.5 retail disk instead.

Hetis 945 No Keyboard Error

I am using a Hetis 945 (MS-6410) Barebone System as an Embedded Print Controller with a Touch Screen Monitor. I get a No Keyboard Error at boot up when no keyboarsd is connected. I can't find any keyborad settings within the Bios (Award Ver 6.00PG). How can I disable the keyboard?

Have a look in BIOS settings, under 'Standard CMOS settings', there is usually a 'Halt On...' option, which you should be able to change to 'No Errors'.

Ultra 20M2 Keyboard error

Hi,
I have been having problems with getting Bloomberg keyboards to work on our Ultra20M2 workstations. At boot, Post screen we are getting the Keyboard error "Press F1 to continue" etc and the keyboard is not responding. Standard Sun keyboard works fine. I have upgraded the bios to 1.45 and still the problem occurs
Seems to be some sort of BIOS related error as is not OS dependant.
Thanks
Peter

Yes, U20M2 machines are VERY picky about keyboards. I've been able to get other keyboards to work by unplugging/re-plugging them in at the error, then pressing F1. Very annoying to have to do that everytime the computer boots up, but that's all I've found that works...

Hi,
We have a problem with the serverboard E7320 Master Series (5192).

Open/close keyboard error

Hi, I was wondering if anybody had any experience with an error like this. I have a Labview made Application that is experiencing some conflicts after installation on a Windows 2000 machine. Bare in mind that it has been successfully installed on 2000 machines in the past. The problem is that when the application is run, the user receives a message that reads,"Select sub.vi to open keyboard". I don't believe this refers to a sub vi called "sub.vi" but a sub vi in general. Could there be a conflict with the keyboard drivers? I unfortunately am not a first hand witness, so this is all the info I have. Could a USB keyboard cause errors like this or something?
Glen D

Evan,
Thank you for all your suggestions. The exact error messages our customer is receiving are 'Select sub.vi to open keyboard' and 'Select sub.vi to close keyboard'. These errors occur when the exe is tried to run. By no coincidence, two of the vi's in this exe are called "open keyboard.vi" and "close keyboard.vi". This sounds strange to me because I would think the error message would read something more like, " Vi not found. Select 'Open Keyboard.vi'" The actual message implies that LabView knows what the missing vi's do, unless it is some other kind of error.
It also does not make sense to me that these two vi's would go missing on 1 out of who knows how many installations. Is there any possible explaination for that?
Lastly, an
d somewhat unrelated, at the heart of these vi's is a CIN. How do I review the code of the CIN?
Thanks again
Glen D

Weird keyboard behavior in MacBook Pro 13'

Hi guys, I have a MacBook Pro that's starting to show a strange keyboard behavior.
The problem is that the keys: e r t y u i o (curiously all belong to the same row) sometimes get unresponsive.
It's very annoying of course and it happened about 4 months after upgraded to Lion.
The geneal perfomance of the laptop was deteriorated and I've read that a clean install of Lion might help so I've did it thinking that it will also fix any OS weirdness about the keys too.
The machine works way better after the clean Lion install but the problem of those same keys persist.
What I did next was to reset the PRAM thinking it might be interference from some weird state there. But after the reset the problem persisted.
Curiously, I've figured out that when, for example the i key gets unresponsive, if I press AND hold the e key then the i key works totally fine (think of typing an "I" but using e instead of shift).
If, when pressing the unresponsive keys, I use different angles or quantity of force in the pressure of the keys or cornes of the key the behavior stays the same. The only thing that seems to affect is holding the e key down before pressing it. Every time it gets weird I do it and it kind of get normal for a while.
Also, sometimes, keeping some seconds the unresponsive key ends up getting responsive again (but not always).
This mac has about two years now and it's very well preserved.
Do this happen to anyone? ideas?
Is there some other thing than PRAM I could reset to see if it gets normal again?

You are making me dig into nightmare-ish memories here.
Ok, I'll share.
This is how turned out:
Needed to send my MBP to another town with an Apple authorized service provider and asked to change the keyboard for a new one.
It was ~20 days waiting until they got the new keyboard part from Apple and about ~3 more to get it fixed and ~2 more to get it again in town.
I received it very well packaged and all was fine after that but the whole thing was very expensive, ~40% of the price I paid for the whole MPB in the first place plus all that time without being able to use it.

Weird CS4 error when saving eps files on a Mac: "...specified files already exist in the target location"

Hi There,
All 3 workstations in our studio are experiencing weird file behavior when re-saving eps files from Illustrator.
Basically Illustrator creates a new file in addition to the original and adds a "-01.eps" onto the file name. If you re-save your original, Illustrator brings up a dialogue box that states:
Some of the specified files already exist in the target location. The files marked below will be replaced:
filename.eps
filename-01.eps
We've been deleting the "-01.eps" files each time but it's becoming tedious. The behaviour occurs when re-saving an eps file to a server or the desktop.
All machines are new Quad-core MacPros running:
- Leopard 10.5.8
- Illustrator CS4 14.0.0
We've checked for Illustrator updates from within Illustrator but we seem to be running the latest version.
Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?
Any help or pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Thanks for the reply.
The error occurs when we save the document but if we choose save as, "Use Artboards" seems to be unchecked so not sure if this issue is related or not. Will re-save the document using save as then see if the issue persists.
Why do we still use eps?
Basically because we've found it to be much more compatible. Our entire logo library is in eps format (18 years worth) partly because it was previously the only format to use and partly because it allows account managers to send logos to clients, printers, TV stations etc and not involve the studio (saving out an eps version).
Although "Create PDF compatible file" is a good idea, we've encountered costly issues with colours and images - especially if the recipient is using old CS software, non-Adobe software or is using some kind of hardware RIP. We now just go with what we know works.
But I do find saving eps versions of everything to be a bit painful. In fact, I've always found Illustrator in general to be a bit painful when compared with Photoshop or AfterEffects. Illustrator seems like it's been developed by a different company some times!
Cheers, and thanks for the help.

Apple AL wireless keyboard error when pairing

All was well with this keyboard until just recently. I've tried to pair this keyboard with 4 different Macs of mine (all 10.5.4/5) and get the same error over and over:
The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your keyboard is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable". When ready, click Continue to try again.
Unable to pair with your keyboard. Click Continue to try again.
Took it to the local Mac shop (over 100 miles away) and they got it to work with two of theirs after trying a little bit. Asked me to try again.
As expected, no dice. Same error.
Any suggestions (other than fresh batteries)?
Thanks

Hi Glenn:
If the KB will not pair with any of your Macs, I strongly suspect the KB is failing (failed). A 100 mile drive is not a happy thought. Perhaps you can call Applecare (hopefully the KB is in warranty) and have them send you a replacement.

so just needed to confirm if this was a widely faced issue and a possible fix to the same
Is there a particular reason why you are using openjpaActually it's been added recenlty to the system as before it was using normal JDBC Code...
In stead of the persistence provider shipped with your JEE container anyway?Do you mean that i should use the Oracle Weblogic 10.3 persistence provider...?
kindly suggest...
