While using word, the computer started quickly deleting content line by line. What caused it?

What would cause my MacBookPro to start deleting text letter by letter, line by line while in Word? I couldn't use the cursor to stop the deletions.

I can imagine three scenarios.
If using an external mouse, one of the buttons could be stuck.
If using the internal trackpad, is it clicking properly (can also get stuck in a down position)?
Finally, you may have triggered a Sticky Key if you have that feature enabled in System Preferences / Universal Access / Keyboard.

Using Tunein Radio app, while using it, radio stations start repeating/skipping

Using Tunein Radio app, while using it, the broadcast starts repeating the same sentence over and over again. It doesn't matter what radio station I'm listening to it starts skipping. Can it be caused by the wireless internet connection I'm using?

Once you are listening to a program it should bring up another window showing you the radio station, show info, etc. In the upper right hand corner there will be 4 icons, a heart with a plus symbol, an envelope, a target looking icon with a triangle in it, and a triangle with an exclamation point in it. You want the third one, the target with the triangle in it.
This is an iPad right? The icons look different if you are using an iPhone or iPod.

Any help would be muchos appreciated.

Hi bitofagiggle,
I am not familiar with mac machines, based on what I know, there should be more settigns that need to be configured before the installation of Windows, I suggest you contact the manufacturer for further help regarding how to make Windows to upgrade smoothly.
The below is some articles for reference:

One or more ports used by the Compute Emulator are currently used by other processes

Environment:
VS 2012 Professional
Azure SDK October 2012
Windows 8
I lost the last few days of my life struggling with a weird issue in the emulator. I just ran out of options and I would really appreciate if someone could help me figure out what's wrong.
I am trying to debug a service package from Visual Studio 2012. It's really just about any package -- even the ones generated from a Windows Azure Cloud Service VS template. Any. The VS debugger starts, and in parallel there's "Starting the Windows Azure Debugging
Environment" dialog which shows "Deploying service package to the Windows Azure compute emulator..." message.
The progress bar shown in the dialog gets stuck for a long time (possibly even for an hour or longer!) at some 60% and then the following error message is shown:
"One or more ports used by the Compute Emulator are currently used by other processes. To resolve this, please see MSDN documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh472164.aspx"
There doesn't seem to be anything else listening on the ports mentioned on the above MSDN page. I did nevertheless try to re-map devfabric and agent ports by specifying different values in the .config files mentioned on the page, but that did not help.
What I also tried and did not help:
- reinstalled SDK, IIS Express, Local DB
- reinstalled VS 2012 (yes, I got that desperate)
- tried using IIS instead
- used SysInternals TcpView to check if there are any conflicts
- rebooted the machine: the deployment works initially (*once*), and the subsequent deployments fail (!)
- tried to kill all Azure-related processes in memory and restart debugging
- tried looking into log files under the user directory (dftmp\...); no errors in *any* log
- tried looking into Event Viewer logs (Azure-related and in general); no errors either
Since the conflict seems to be related to my current network settings, below is my IP
configuration. I am behind a router and I have DHCP activated, but again that should not matter since none of that has changed in the last few years (and the emulator did work until few days ago).

Hi,
Unfortunately I already tried all kinds of re-installs (the full list is in my original message). The only one remaining is the reinstall of Windows 8 itself, which I would really like to avoid.
What I find really strange is the time it takes for the above error message to appear. It's like one hour or even more (never measured exactly, I left the computer running).
What kind of a timeout is that? I would expect that, if ports are really used by some other application, I get the message in less than a minute (seconds, actually). To me this looks like the emulator itself for some reason believes there's a problem with
some port while in reality there isn't.
I'll eventually contact Microsoft Support, thanks for the suggestion.

Does saving a finished iMovie to Theater duplicate the space used on the computer

Does saving a finished iMovie also to Theater (on iMovie 10) duplicate the space used on the computer (for example if I save the finished movie as a file on my desktop and have it save to Theater (did I just double the space used on my computer: file on desktop plus the file in Theater)?

Is there a way to have itunes delete the WMA file after creating mp3 copy?
No. But after the MP3s are created and you are satisfied that things went OK, just delete the WMAs manually and say "Good Riddance."
You can use an MP3 in multiple players, but you need to turn off any features that automatically change or move files, since one player will change something that messes up the other:
In iTunes, that means go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and uncheck "Keep..." and "Copy..."
In Windows Media Player, that means go to Tools > Options > Library, and uncheck everything that starts with a verb such as "Rename...," "Rearrange...," etc.

Hello all..   I hope someone here can help. I recently downloaded some updates to my imac. Since then the computer starts but I get the home screen opening without the logon box.    I can't open any programs or files and if I click on the Safari tab it disappears from the dock. I've tried rebooting with no joy.
I contacted technical help at Apple and was told to hold down the ctrl and alt keys with two other keys, I think the S or P keys when powering up. This worked
and the computer seemed fine but now the problem has reappeared. Is there a way to removed downloaded updates from the computer or revert it to an earlier state?   Sorry for the long question. Hopefully one of you clever people can help.   Simon

Bluetooth no longer loads automatically when the computer starts

I have the Bluetooth Stack version 2.01.21.1. It was working fine. When the laptop booted up, the bluetooth mouse was automatically connected.
All of a sudden the icon no longer appears automatically in the system tray and so I have to manually connect the mouse each time
It is still listed in the startup menu on the desktop and it is still checked in startup in the msconfig.
How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance

I have just gotten off the phone with a microsoft tech who actually seems to have fixed this somewhat
He went to start/run to get to services.msc.
He chose "SSDP Discovery Services" which "enables discovery of
UPnP devices on your home network" and DISABLED it.
Go figure
The BT icon now appears in my system tray and starts up automatically when the computer starts.
I say somewhat because It still disconnects if left idle for a long period, which it did not do previously, but at least it is there when I log on.
I want to mention that I have a Dell, not a Toshiba (did not realize this forum was for Toshiba laptops rather than Toshiba software) but perhaps
you will find this information useful.
Also, at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx you will find an autorun tool that lets you fix what is or is not
in the startup menus. It seems to work better than using msconfig which on my laptop was not making a difference as to what started up and what did not.
It is meant for IT professionals so I would not mess with it too much. However if you just check or uncheck in the startups for the BT manager you will
not do any damage.

Pause Video Keyboard Shortcut While Using Word

I am curious if there is a way to pause a video playing on the internet while using word.
I am watching a prerecorded lecture on Safari and taking notes in Word. It is incredibly annoying having to switch back and forth to pause the video so I can copy down what the professor says.
It would be a huge help if I could simply hit "Command or Option Whatever" and simply pause the video without leaving Word. Perhaps modifying the F8 key (a pause button that tries to open iTunes when I hit it)?
I really appreciate any help the community can lend. Thank you in advance.
-Graham-

I think the problem here is focus. The default keystroke for iTunes to play/pause will not be captured by the application unless you have the focus on iTunes.
I have no idea how you are used to working, but if you are just taking some notes at first, can you not resize Word and place it next to the video playback window? Or perhaps if Word resizing is too difficult, use a smaller text editor to do the same, than cut and paste into your word document, post-note taking, to format, etc?
Other than that, I don't know how to make custom shortcuts/key-assignments to create a work-around. Sorry.

My macbook battery will not charge. I have tried unplugging and doing an SMC reset but it did not seem to change. I have yet to try another magsafe charger. The charger has a dim green light while plugged into the computer. What are my next steps?

Hello Everyone,
This is my first time using the forum. My macbook battery will not charge. I have tried unplugging and doing an SMC reset but it did not seem to change. I have yet to try another magsafe charger. The charger has a dim green light while plugged into the computer. What should my next steps be, besides trying a new charger as well as being the most cost effective?
Thanks

Hi ..
The battery may need replacing.

Error while using '*'in the NTE (EDI 850) Segment where '*' is also used as Data Element

Hi All,
I am facing below mentioned error while using '*'in the NTE (EDI 850) Segment where '*' is also used as Data Element
Error: 1 (Field level error)
SegmentID: NTE
Position in TS: 70
Data Element ID: NTE02
Position in Segment: 2
Data Value:
3: Too many data elements
For Eg: NTE*GEN*My Text *goes here
Here, NTE02 should be My Text *goes here. So, how can I use "*" here without changing anything in the EDI message?
Can it be done?
Thanks.

Sorry, no.
X12 does not support an escape character so whatever is used for delimiters become reserved characters.
If you want to allow '*' in the data, you will have to chooser a different Element delimiter. The receiver should read the from this from the ISA Segment so it's supposed to be dynamic but that's not always the case in practice.
