Why does ONLY the up arrow work

I have a USB keyboard that came with my imac isight intel. I love it cuz it has the numbers on it as well but suddenly the bottom row of arrow keys no longer work. The up arrow works but the down and left and right have no results upon pushing, or even just holding down. Any thoughts? Can I take them off and clena them or something...

  • Why does only my right speaker work?

    I have had an Iphone 4 & a 4S. With both phones, only the right speaker works. Can anyone tell me why?

    That's because the left "speaker" is actually a microphone. The right one is a speaker. Kind of weird... but there's nothing wrong. It's so you can talk on the phone

  • TS2634 Why does only the short lightning cable supplied with my iPad work and longer cable don't?

    I have the latest iPad purchased through Kogan. It is a 64mb with retina display. It will only accept charge through the short cable supplied. I have purchased (3rd party i admit) longer cables to use for charging so I can sit at a sensible distance from a power outlet and still work on my ipad. I have now tried four separate cables from two different suppliers and none work. Curiously the last two work perfectly on wife's iPad which is identical except for being 32mb. I don't wont to now spend $25 on the longer cable now available from Apple to find the same result.  Anyone else experience this fault?

    The lightening cable is not a simple cable. It has active electronics within it and is quite clever in that the pins being used are changed depending on how the cable is being used and what is connected.
    The longer the cable, the more the level of the signals on the cable will drop. This drop is sometimes enough to properly transmit and receive power or information/data. This drop is clearly too much for your iPad so it does not work. Your wife's iPad must have a slightly better tolerance on this and therefore works but it probably only 'just' works.  iI would recommend that you do try Apple's cable as it is, no doubt, much more expensive, might have higher quality and will therefore work better.  If the cable from Apple and your iPad do not work then you have something to ask Apple about - possibly a swap of or your iPad but I would guess that the Apple cable will work.

  • Why does only the left side of my headphone working after ios6 except in phone calls ?

    After i updated my software to ios6 , i realised that the right side of my headphones doesn't work with music player nor with typing, yet it does work perfectly when i am on a phone call so it's not a hardware problem ....

    thats what i meant, if the same problem persists on two headphones its the jack, but the fact that one side of the original headphones works makes me think its the headphones. plug the headphones up to the computer and see if they work then

  • Why does only the first page of seach results show, with further pages graying out?

    In a search, I may get >1,000,000,000 hits, but only the first page is readable. "Next" gives me a grayed out screen and FF freezes. Any of the offered searches at the bottom of that first screen will do the same thing. Repeated hitting "back" will clear it.
    This has been true, through all the upgrades, including a backgrade to 3.6 (?) for 64-bit. This makes FF useless as a search platform, though it is my preference, even over Chrome, if it would work.
    Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit, 8GB Ram
    High speed to house, wireless lan in house

    That does seem rather useless.
    Use Automator - it has a "PDF to Images" action that will do exactly what you need. Drop your document into the workflow, drop the "PDF to Images" action in right after that, set any options that you need (like where to save) and then click "run"
    Barring that, I've found that sometimes Adobe Reader will sometimes work well for documents that Preview can't print, and I've found some documents that Adobe Reader chokes on but Preview handles flawlessly.

  • Elements11 QUE: Why does only the audio-portion transfer to timeline when I drag a video file down.

    Elements11 - 1st time user
    When I drag a known good video file from the "My Videos" Folder on my laptops disk down to the "Drag Here" box in my project Timeline, only the audio portion transfers NOT the video.
    I am trying to create an "Instant Movie" after watching a youtube video on the subject.
    The end goal is to combine portions of three video clips into one for my sons school project.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Elements11DRC
    What version of Premiere Elements are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Can we assume by your selected ID, that the program is Premiere Elements 11?
    Pending further details, I will assume that you are working with Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    Where is this "My Videos" Folder - on a DVD disc being used as a DataDisc for video storage purposes?
    If so, Add Media/DVD Camera or Computer Drive/Video Importer and from there automatically into the project in Project Assets as well as on the Timeline.
    If your "My Videos" Folder is a folder on the computer hard drive, then Add Media/Files and Folders to get the video into Project Assets from where you drag the video to the Timeline.
    Now for the video that you are trying to import...what are its properties
    Video Compression
    Audio Compression
    Frame Size
    Frame Rate
    Interlaced or Progressive
    File Extension
    Pixel Aspect Ratio
    Probably answered the easiest by knowing the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video.
    Prime interest, that video compression. It could be MotionJPEG which can be problematic for Premiere Elements. It could be AVCHD.avi which cannot be imported.
    We can go into greater detail on your project details once we rule in or out any of the factors mentioned above.
    By the way, what is the destination for this project....burn to disc DVD or Blu-ray...export to file saved to the computer hard drive...other?
    More later.
    Thanks.

  • Why does pressing the down arrow button result in going to the bottom of the page and being nunable to go up or down one line at a time?

    i dont know what to say in way of clarification. when looking at a page i am forced to use the "slide" on the margin which is very sensitive on very long documents instead of the down arrow to move one line. pressing the arrow results in going to the bottom and you cant return using the arrow.

    The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
    You can look at this extension:
    * Backward Forward History Dropdown: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/

  • Why does only my magic mouse work with 10.6.8 update?!!!

    Hi. Ever since updating my software to 10.6.8, the ONLY mouse I can use is the Magic Mouse - ANYTHING ELSE I try and use, wireless or not, will cause my computer to crash. I get asked to turn it off and back on. As soon as I try another mouse, I get a black curtain go down my screen and the message comes up. I have been getting these Kernal Panic things also when I start up with another mouse connected. I HATE THE MAGIC MOUSE! And now I am being forced to use it. Is Apple serious about this? It's ridiculous. I can't work properly with this mouse. HELP!!!!! Is there going to be any fix?

    If your HP is networked and using Bonjour as a protocol, then the 10.6.8 update made some changes to the core backend services such as Bonjour and this could be causing the error. With the job in error in the print queue, you can highlight the job (click once to select it) and then press the Job Info button (the blue circle with the white I inside). Doing this will give more information about the problem. You can post that information back here so we can advise what steps to take next.
    If the printer is connected to the Mac via USB then you may just need to remove the existing print queue, by opening Print & Fax and selecting the HP and then pressing the minus button. With the queue removed you can then click the plus button to add the queue again, selecting the HP in the Default Add Printer view.

  • Why does only the USB cable that came with my phon...

    I recently acquired a Nokia Lumia Icon from Verizon.  I have a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 computer running Windows 8.1 with the Windows Phone App for Desktop (WPA4D) installed.  I had a very difficult time getting my Icon to be seen by my computer when connecting it with one of the half dozen micro USB cables I have laying around.  WPA4D would not recognize it.  Then, I connected it using the USB cable that came with the phone, and WPA4D immediately recognized it.  Then I unplugged it and went back to a different cable - it was again not recognized.
    What is different about the USB cable that ships with the Nokia Lumia Icon?  If I want to order more, like from Monoprice, what do I order to get the same thing?  Why is Nokia (apparently) using some sort of proprietary cable??
    Thanks,
    Eric

    It is not proprietary.The charging/data cable for my GPS works.
    A lot of the cables are just for charging and that is all they are wired for and they don't even have the data pin. Full size USB cables are the same way.
    If I needed an extra I would get it from Nokia.

  • Why does only the first movement of a symphony play?

    I have all of Mahler's symphonies on Itunes. I try to play them on my Ipod and the first movement of each symphony plays and then it shuts off as if the album is done. Any ideas what I did in loading these CDs onto Itunes that could cause this?
    In case you're wondering:
    Each symphony is listed as an album, with each movement as a track of that album. The disk of symphony #1 says "disk 1 of 13". Part of a compliation: No. Include when shuffling: No.
    Thanks for any help.

    The Apple guy told me yesterday that you have to RECORD it first.
    Start from the first slide and go thru all of them.
    Then they will playback.

  • Why does only Basic HTML gmail work with Mozilla/5.0 on my iMac (Mac OS X 10.4, FF/3.6.13 GTB7.1?

    My Firefox browser 3.6.13 on my iMacOS X 10.4 "spins" until I click on it several times. A message box says it is processing scrip at this time. I click on it to stop processing scrip.
    Recently, it has been impossible to open gmail unless I click on "Basic HTML." Google tells me to upgrade my browser, but no matter how often I attempt to download and install Firefox 4 I still have FF 3.6.13.

    Hello Ivan.
    The Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update introduced connection issues as a result of (according to the documentation) "Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy". If that's the problem, you must go to System Preferences > Network and disable the SOCKS Proxy in the network configuration used to connect to the Internet, if it's enabled.
    You should also go to System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
