When opening my Google homepage I cannot type anything in the search bar without first clicking in it with my mouse despite the cursor flashing in it.

This is a new problem. It happens every time I search on my google homepage. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium Version 6.1 on a desktop.
It does not happen if I open Google with IE.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I cannot type anything into the Google search field; each character typed brings up a list of suggestions below the search field, but nothing appears in the search field itself.

When in Mozilla and I bring up Google, the search field appears but the cursor does not blink as it ordinarily would do. When I try to type a search string it doesn't appear in the search field, instead a list of suggestions appear depending on the character(s)

Solved: This was caused by replacing the SegoeUI (Regular) true-type font. I have no idea what process or why that font was deleted, but finding the segoeui.ttf file on another Windows machine, emailing it to myself, saving it to disk, then right-clicking and choosing "Install" fixed this problem.

Why does the OPEN WEB LOCATION Box msg keep opening when I try tro type in the name of someone or type anything in the subject line of Yahoo mail? I have to ke

When in Yahoo mail, the OPEN WEB LOCATION box opens for each letter I try to type in in the "To" line and/or the "Subject" line of any new e-mail to someone. I type a letter, the Box opens, and I cannot type anything in the e-mail window anywhere until I close the box. I close the box, type another letter, and the OWL Box open gain. It takes forever to type anything. This started when I updated Firefox to the new 21 version. I Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. No help. I uninstalled 21 and re-installed 19 (I was using 19 with no problems until today). No help. The problem will not go away. I note that others have complained of this problem. Is there a fix yet? I have been forced back to IE in the meantime.

hello, you have two extension present in your profile (DownloadTerms 1.0 & WhiteSmoke New 10.16.2.509) that could be considered malware.

Cannot type anything when access by consloe

after i have erased the start-up configuration file for 2950 series switch and try to access via console port i cannot type anything , at the same time the the console windows view the switch logging messages , like while the IOS is loading and all of the information about the system .
can anybody tell me what is the problem ?

I have seen symptoms like what you describe when a port was configured with "no exec". You might get these symptoms is the terminal emulator is configured with flow control (I believe the console port does not support flow control). I have also seen symptoms like this when the pinout on the console cable was close but not quite correct. And I have seen symptoms like this when the console port was bad.
I am not sure which (if any) of these might be your situation. My first suggestion would be to try a different console cable. And check the terminal emulator to be sure that it is not configured with flow control activated. If that does not help then you might try doing the password recovery procedure to see if perhaps it is configured with no exec. And if those do not work you might try opening a case with TAC for a possible hardware problem.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

When i type into the search bar on safari, it comes up with a yahoo or bing search instead of google like it normally would do

I've had my macbook pro for about 2 years and any time i would type into the search bar of safari it would always come up with a google search. recently it is coming up with a yahoo or bing search and not google. my settings for safari have it set to google as the default search engine so I'm not sure why this is happening. Can anyone help me fix this?

When you go to search something in your search bar , and you click in the search bar at the top , a drop down menu should appear when it gives you suggestions on smart search right ? , well within those list of suggestions in the search bar their should be a little magnifying glass icon in the corner , click on that and another drop down box will appear, then you can choose your search engine preference e.g. bing , google , yahoo etc. click on your preference and it will use that search engine when you search in your search bar. Hope this helped.

HT4113 My daughters iPod touch asks for her pass code but when she types it in the cursor does not move or input any characters so,she cannot get into the iPod. This has suddenly happened for no apparent reason

My daughters iPod touch asks for her pass code but when she types it in the cursor does not move or input any characters so,she cannot get into the iPod. This has suddenly happened for no apparent reason, what can we do? Can anyone help please?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Firefox crashes as soon as I type into it (anywhere: search bars, pages) unless I have the on-screen keyboard open ..??

When I start a Firefox session, everything works normally until I try to type anything anywhere (the address bar, either of my search bars, or on a webpage). If I try to type it freezes up and I have to go to the Task Manager to quit it (I have Windows obviously and use Firefox 3.6).
I tried opening the on-screen keyboard, just to see what happens, and as long as I have that open, even downsized, everything works fine and I can type wherever I want.
Is this a keyboard problem or something else?? Plugins?

Yeah, it still locks up. I just realized that it happens in Word, IE and other programs as well. It is obviously a problem with my keyboard/display drivers and not any one program (I think it is happening after my computer is in "sleep" or "hibernate" and not general start up). I guess I assumed it was a Firefox problem since the I noticed the problem while using it.
Thanks though!!

Error when opening an RFC connection (LB : Hostname or service of the messa

Hi All,
Im trying to transport datasources in BW, they are 7.x RSDS datasources. but we did not change the source system, it was existing and we are using the same source for older BW version. we now installing new BW 7.x system.
These transports went fine in BQ system but failing in BP system with the below error :
Error when opening an RFC connection (LB : Hostname or service of the message ser
Error when activating DataSource 2LIS_17_I0NOTIF RP1CLT100
Error when opening an RFC connection (LB : Hostname or service of the message ser
Error when resetting DataSource 2LIS_17_I0NOTIF RP1CLT100 to the active version
the datasource 2LIS_17_I0NOTIF is active in RP1CLT100 system. when this transport goes to prod it tries to overwrite the existing one, as there are no changes to the datasource the structure will be the same.
but after that it cant able to activate that datasource.
so my question is can we able to activate this datasource in RP rather than doing transport again from R/3 Dev---R/3 PRD.
i tried RSDS_DATASOURCE_ACTIVATE_ALL but it doesn't help.
another question is when we migrate from 3.x datasource to 7.x, does this change any metadata in R/3 system as well.
Best Regards
Robyn.

Hi Rizwan,
Looking at the error message it seems like there is some issue with RFC connection and whatever objects you are trying to move are not reaching to target system. Just have a check with basis team.
Once you migrate DS from 3.x to 7.0 yes there will be some meta data changes e.g. the DS type will be changed from ISFS to RSDS. You will have to send the migration along with current data source.

Durgesh.

I have a Wordpress site. I wanted to add a new page to it. However, when I try, I am able to type inside of the "Title" box & I am able to type inside of the "Post Excerpt (Meta Description)" box. However, I cannot type inside of the main body box where the actual content of my page would appear.
This seems to be a browser issue because I can do it if I use Internet Explorer. Why does Firefox prevent me from editing or adding a new page to my Wordpress site?
Thanks.

Whenever i open Firefox i cant type anything because the "find" bar at the bottom alwayse pops up. How can i remove that or fix this issue?

So like I said, Everytime I open firefox as soon as I open a tab the "find" bar automatically pops up and I cant type. It wont let me close it at all. Ive searched everywhere to see if I can disable it from automatically coming up but came up empty. Ive reset everything back to is "original" settings but that didn't work either.

Have you had this problem for some time or did it just start recently?
This occurs with an empty new tab (Ctrl+t) or with any new tab (e.g., including clicking a link)?
Is the bar labeled Find or Quick Find?
Find: This bar can be opened using Ctrl+f, but obviously you are not typing Ctrl+f.
Quick Find: The shortcut to open this bar is a / character. Firefox also has an option to open the Quick Find bar as soon as you type ''any'' character. (See: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/advanced-settings-browsing-network-updates-encryption#w_accessibility Accessibility options]) But this is turned off by default, and it doesn't sound as though you are typing a character when this happens.
Hmmm... by default, if the cursor is in either bar, it can be closed by pressing the Esc key. But I suppose that isn't working either (or it reopens very quickly).
If you view the Add-ons page, do you have any extensions?
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

Cannot type anything in TextInput using Firefox Mac Version

Hello,
I tried to practice the example in the chapter 12 of Flex2
Getting Started Document.
It is fine using IE, Firefox (Windows), and Safari, however I
can not type anything in the TextInput through Firefox Mac version!
It is also fine when I directly open the SWF file.
Does anyone know what's happened ?
Thank you very much !

Some have reported that pressing F9+Windows one or more times has worked to fix issues with the keyboard not working.

When we purchased our mac two years ago, we set up the iCloud account. this past winter I created a new iCloud account thinking I was changing it. I now cannot access anything on the old iCloud acct and my computer hasn't been backed up either in awhile

when we purchased our mac two years ago, we set up the iCloud account. this past winter I created a new iCloud account thinking I was changing it. I now cannot access anything on the old iCloud acct and my computer hasn't been backed up either in awhile. How do i go back to that old account and delete it so that I can continue backing up on the newest account? I changed it because the original one I created an iCloud account with is a yahoo account email address and I am deleting my yahoo account for being compromised too may times.

Well, you can go to Manage your Apple ID and change the password if you can answer the Security Questions:
Apple - My Apple ID
If you cannot remember the Security Questions you can contact iTunes Support to reset them for you:
New iTunes Support - US and ww
Once you get your password reset and you can access your account info on Manage your Apple ID, you can change your ID. You won't be able to use the same email address that you are using for the new ID unless you change that one to something else. But, if you can get back into your old ID and change it to a new email address, then you can go on using that old ID, and just manually move the iCloud stuff you added to your new ID back onto the old one. Most of the stuff (like Contacts, Calendar, Notes) can be added by logging onto https://www.icloud.com on your Mac and doing it that way (it is a lot simpler when you have an actual keyboard in my opinion)
Hope this helps you to sort out the two ID business. If you have any questions, please post back!
Cheers,

Error when opening iTunes : iTunes has stopped working '' A problem caused the program to stop working correctly''.
When I repaired damaged files the problem still exists and also after uninstalling, redownloading and reinstalling iTunes.
My pc is working with windos 8.
Is there a solution?

Hey there Rodney274,
It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling
