Why does my MacBook start typing in upper case even though Caps lock is off?

On occasions, when typing, my MacBook starts to type in upper case even though the Caps lock is off? This is not a physical sticking of the shift key as it happens even when using a USB keyboard? I have to use the shift key kind of in reverse to revert to lowercase entry.
I have checked settings and I cannot find anything that could be causing it.
Really bloody annoying!
Can anybody help.
I have a two week old MBP w Retina Display. This did happen on my old MBP and I did restore this new MBP from my Time Capsule disk so assume I brought the problem with me so to speak.

Do you have "sticky keys" turned on under Accessibility by accident?

When recording a slideshow, why does audio stop recording after about 30 seconds even though slides and presentation continues?

I'm doing everything the same and have made many successful slideshow recordings using Keynote, but since updating the Yosemite and then updating Keynote the audio just stops recording after about 30 seconds.
The slides keep on changing and recording the video, but after 30 seconds the audio stops recording even though it seems to be registering the sound and the mic is not muted in Keynote.
Is there some change or new setting I am not aware of that needs to be altered?
Any advice would be helpful as I need to record a lot of presentations.
OS X Yosemite version 10.10
Keynote version 6.5
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

I can't imagine this will work as the the application is tied into a specific computer and user ID to prevent unauthorised use of single use applications. Copying over has not worked with previous versions of Keynote.
It worked for me. I guess it could be because we bought our Macs together and have home sharing or something. Either way, I'm running Yosemite but with Keynote 6.2.2. and not updating again until Apple do something about this bug.

Why does Firefox remember the pages I've visited, even though I am using different computers? I've never used the sync function. I don't want my computer at work to be synched with my personal computer at home

My computer at work remembers the pages I've visited even though I visited the pages while I was using my computer at my home. I don't know how or why this is happening, and I don't like that it is in sync with my computer at home - I have never used that function.
For example - When I type in "the methodist hospital" into the search bar using the computer at home, all the search results come up from Google, so I click on the links and take a look around on the websites/pages. The next day, I walk into work, and I type in "the methodist hospital" again in the search bar, and when the results come up - it indicates in gray lettering that "[I] visited this page [yesterday's date]."
Please explain why this is happening and what I must do in order for it to stop. It is scary knowing that my browsing history is remembered using 2 completely different computers. Needless to say, I don't want my boss thinking I'm just surfing the web all day at work.
Thanks in advance!

if i have to read any comment by matt n again i will throw up...in my mouth. i have gone all over google trying to figure out what the f ff did to me without my permission, i have updates turned off so there should be no prompting to restart, there should be a polite offer not a forced update. i am angry and so are a ton of people.
everytime i go to a new complaint, another angry fellow ff user there is matt n with his infuriating smiling little picture...telling me about the awesome safety and security of the new ff...ignoring that a supposed safe but ugly and unusable browser is worse than a customized, beautiful, well functioning browser...with supposed safety issues. i am so angry i cannot express how this has wasted my time. i have been online for 2 hours now figuring out how to fix, apparently i cannot. my old theme is not compatible now...so i am screwed.
good bye. if i wanted chrome i would have had chrome. but i have no choice now.

Why does my MacBook start up with the OS X utilities screen?

When I turn on my MacBook I get a screen that says OS X Utilities. It has 4 options, restore from time machine back up, reinstall OS X, get help online, and disk utility. I have played with the options but I'm scared I'm going to erase all of my files. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

For some reason it is starting directly into the Recovery HD - normally this has to be done deliberately by holding the key combination of Command + r
Firstly, try restarting holding down the Alt (option) key and it will hopefully take you to the Start-up Manager. Select Macintosh HD (you may need to use the arrow keys on the keyboard to select it) and press enter. Let it boot, hopefully into 'normal' mode. Now restart again from the Apple menu - does it boot correctly now?
If that didn't help, try a PRAM reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

Why does this mavericks start on its own? even after downloading GFX card status it keeps on restarting. Fix it Apple. I'm going Banana.

The laptop says kernel error, but after downloading GFX card status the laptop keeps on getting restarted. Oh why did i buy a macbook?

Either your Mac is broken, or you have something installed which isn't compatible. Hard to tell without the kernel panic log.

Why does my MacBook Pro still have disk problems even with replacement disks?

I have a 2008-era MacBook Pro. In January it failed to boot. I took it to Apple and paid for a replacement system board. When it came back they told me the hard drive was also bad and they had replaced it.
About a month later my performance became very bad. A test of the hard disk revealed unrecoverable errors. I reformatted the disk and restored from Time Machine. About a month later, the same problem surfaced. This time I took it back to Apple and they put in a replacement hard drive.
Now here I am about a month after that and the hard drive has asked to be reformatted twice again.
What is REALLY wrong and how do I get it fixed?

How does the disk test which checks the drive have to do with corrupted data?
Let me clarify:
1. System gets slow.
2. I run the Disk Utility > Verify disk.
3. It reports data corruption errors and and says to run Disk Utility > Repair Disk
4. I run Disk Utility > Repair Disk
5. It says errors are such I need to run it from the Utilty partition
6. I restart from the Utility partition and run Repair Disk
7. It reports it can't fix the problem. Tells me to erase the disk and restore.
8. I do all that.
9. Now I run Verify Disk again. All is well, and all continues to be ok for several weeks.
So, if the Time Machine backup was corrupt, step 9 above would fail.
Since this is the third hard disk since January, I doubt that the problem is REALLY the disk.

Why does playlist on iPod keep repeating and repeating even though play count rule is 1

Hello, everyone!
I have a smart playlist of about 100 songs. The play count rule is set to play songs with a play count of less than 1. A few days ago, I reset all of the songs play count to 0. If you ask me, the way I have it set up, when the iPod is playing with my headphones on, the iPod should automatically update each songs play count to 1 after each song plays. After I have listened to all 100 songs, the playlist on the iPod should be empty. The reason is is because since each song was updated from their play count of 0 to 1 after each one played the play count rule in the playlist should show no songs in the playlist. Like I said before, the rule says to play any songs with a play count of less than 1. Since all of the play count of the 100 songs are now 1 and not less than 1, the playlist should be empty.
The problem is, when I'm listening to my iPod and the 100 songs have played, the playlist is not empty. It just keeps repeating songs and it will never stop. When I go to iTunes, the songs are randomly with play counts of 3 or 2 or 1 or however many times they have been repeated.
Does anyone know why this is?

The reason the songs don't delete themselves after playing from the playlist on the iPod is because your iPod is not smart enough to do that. It's only when you re-sync your iPod to your iTunes library does the smart playlist in your iTunes library delete the played songs. Then the playlist on your iPod will adjust to the number left unplayed in that playlist.
So as long as you don't sync back to your library the number of songs in that playlist will never reduce to zero.

HT3275 Why does my Time Machine say No Latest Backup even though I ran a backup?

I have backed up my MacBook Pro several times to an external drive by following all the directions. But, the Time Machine says "Oldest Backup: None" Latest Backup: None, Next Backup: Today 11:19 AM. I have selected the drive and turned it on. Has it backed up? Shouldn't it say there was a latest backup?

Enter Time Machine, via the application, to see if it has backed up. If not try C2/A4 in the first linked article.

Why does my ipod touch 4th generation lose power even when it's turned off?

When my ipod touch is turned off for a couple of days, it loses most of it's charge. Is this normal?

Are you turning the iPod Off via depressing the Power button until the Slide to Power Off appear and sliding it? If not the iPod is sleeping and the iPod is still doing stuff when sleeping and it is normal for the battery to fully discharge is a few days, especially if wifi is on.
If you are really powering the iPod off that is not normal and indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Why does my iPad say it's not charging even though it's plugged in?

Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

If you are trying to charge from a USB port on your computer, the port may not supply enough power to charge the iPad. It may even be charging but very very slowly and it will say not charging. You should use the power adapter that came with the iPad and plug the adapter into a wall socket for the most efficient way to charge.

Why does my connection to Apple store constantly fail even though I have good internet connectivity to all non-apple apps?

Hi.
All of a sudden my IOS devices are having difficulty accessing all of my Apple-store controlled apps and purchases when using my home network, even though it is a really fast network and my other devices work perfectly. Spotify, YouTube and Netflix and all apps that don't rely on Apple purchases are working perfectly on my iPad and ipod, and I have fast internet speed and perfect connectivity on all my other devices.
But when I go to Newsstand or iTunes Store for example I get the message 'can't connect to Apple server' or 'you are not connected to wifi' even though all non-Apple apps are connecting perfectly on the same device. I have tried all the usual reboot, reset solutions and nothing seems to resolve this. My software is up to date. My iPod and iPad are working perfectly when I use another network. My home network is working perfectly for everything else.
Any ideas?

Sorry for bad English and typos, I wrote it quickly.

Why does itunes as me to update my itunes even though it is up to date?

I am attempting to transfer my music from a backup (that is corrupted) to my laptop. I grabbed the entire itunes folder and copied it to my laptop. I replaced the folder made by itunes with this one. I then proceed to open itunes and I get this error "The file “iTunes Library.itl” cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?". I clicked download itunes but after software update checks for any new itunes updates it finds none. What do I do to fix this?

Download iTunes manually from Apple's web site and install that. There's probably some residual files on your computer misinforming Software Update what version you have.

Why does Lela show HND setting is "young teens" even though HND is not installed?

When I select details in LELA, every computer is shown with "young teens" as the HND setting. I have not installed HND because I don't need parental controls and don't want to pay for it anyway. But I can't seem to turn it off.

Hello koffee, when you install your LELA program it came with a trial period for 30 days from the time of activation.
