Why don't my bluetooth keys repeat when I hold them down?

Although I have the System Preference for keyboards set for "Fast" repeating, my letter keys don't seem to repeat in any text program. Is there something I can do to fix that?
The backspace key and spacebar repeat just fine. Strange.

sarahgarzon,
log in as your administrative user and open Terminal. Run the following commands inside of the Terminal window:
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
exit
After running these commands, quit Terminal and log out. When you log back in again (as any user), the key repeat will be active.

Why don't the add ons work when I install them? I can see them in the addon manager, but they don't work when I want to use them. Also very annoying when you have to register for one stinking question!!!

I installed a new dictionary. Something that worked fine when I installed it in the previous versions, works fine on my pc. But I have installed the dictionary 3 times now and it won't "take". I see it in the addon manager, but when I want to switch from us to dutch dictionary, it's just not there to be switched to. It's annoying and I need the dictionary

You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.

Why don't my Automator Apps start when I open them?

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Automator Apps will not automatically start. Even if I manually open them, nothing happens. The only way that I can get them to perform their designated tasks is to open them indirectly through the Automator and and manually run them as a workflow from within that application. It didn't used to be this way and it still says that their applications are self-running workflows. Does anyone know how to fix this?

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds. So check the side switch first if you have no sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

IPad bluetooth key repeat bug?

I've got a bluetooth keyboard dock combo; and a regular bluetooth keyboard for my ipad. Sometimes when its docked in the combo; but still connected via bluetooth to the other keyboard; I'll get a continuous key repeat when entering data into a password field. It'll just go on and on. I have to disconnect it from bluetooth keyboard; and all is fixed. A bug?

I have somewhat the same problems mentioned. I thought I was the only one but when I read this, I felt some comfort. Just something to contribute and hopefully you guys can shed some light on this.
I just bought my iPad 2 about two weeks ago. Before that I was playing around with my parent's iPad first generation.
For both iPads, I have the same problems while using the same wireless keyboard on both of them.
1. While typing, at random times the wireless keyboard stops responding and the on screen keyboard shows up.
2. While typing, also at random times, the wireless keyboard stops responding and the same alphabet that I last typed in would multiply itself until I either press "command + A" and delete or lock my parent's iPad and iPad 2.
3. While typing, my wireless keyboard stops responding, on screen keyboard shows up, I select my on screen keyboard to hide, continued typing on the wireless keyboard, it stops responding again and my iPad2 restarts in a split second with the black backdrop and apple logo in the middle and goes to lock screen. Then everything is fine.
4. While not typing, on screen keyboard shows up at random times while bluetooth is paired to wireless keyboard and then goes back down, all this while bluetooth icon at the top screen of the iPad2 flashes.
I don't know what is wrong. At first I thought my iPad 2 has a problem but when I remembered the same problems occurred on my parent's iPad first generation, I don't know if it is just my keyboard or the iPad(s) have a problem.
I'm starting to think that its because of the Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard. A bug I suppose?

Why don't my tags show up when re-saving a document that I previously tagged?

I love the idea of tags. I use them religiously in Lightroom to organize and recall my photos. The one thing that makes tags ineffective though is the amount of effort it takes to enter them. But being a true believer of the value I do it. That being said, the way Apple has implemented tags is driving me nuts.
I create a document
I click save
I enter a name and
I enter tags - BTY I wish I could expand the tagging window to see all the tags I have entered and all the tags that are available
Later I make changes to my document and I want to add tags so I selected save as
PROBLEM - All the tags that I previously saved with this document are gone. I have to renter them. This is horrible!
Why don't my tags show up when re-saving a document that I previously tagged? Is there anyway to get my Mac to recognize that I previously tagged this file and display my tags?
If not, APPLE PLEASE FIX SOON.

You really shouldn't be using the phone during an update...my thought is that your cables are the root issue. It is possible that because it was in the middle of the imparts and something went wrong it has been "bricked". I'd search the threads for restoring from recovery mode and you might have some luck.

Why should we select all key fields when using for all entries

Hi,
Why should we select all key fields in our select query when using for all entries statement?
I read about for all entries but this point was not clear in any post.
Please explain me
Regards,
Subhashini

Dear Subhasini,
It is because FOR ALL ENTRIES deletes the duplicate entries before populating the target internal table.
Please do an F1 on FOR ALL ENTRIES & read the SAP documentation.
I mean how duplicate entries will not get deleted when we use this?
Quite simple, if you select all key fields then each entry will be unique & there will not be any duplicate entries to delete !!
BR,
Suhas

Will Not Burn DVD+R DL - Keys Repeat When Pressed

Hello, I am trying to burn a disk image onto Verbatim DVD+R DL media using Disk Utility. I have also tried using Toast Titanium 9 but with similar results. I am using the on board Matshita UJ-857E optical drive. Basically, the Disk Utility moves through each of the processes without ever writing anything to the disc. Then the application freezes upon reaching the "Finishing burn" stage. I left it running overnight to no avail. Additionally, the trackpad stops working when the burn starts, the keys repeat 6 or more times (llllllliiiiiiikkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ttttttthhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssss), and I cannot shut OS X down (it freezes at a blue screen with a spinning disc). Burning CD-Rs work as expected. Here is the Disk Utility log:
2008-10-02 15:30:50 -0400: Burning Image ”-------------”
2008-10-02 15:31:10 -0400: Image name: “-------------”
2008-10-02 15:31:10 -0400: Burn disc in: “MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857E”
2008-10-02 15:31:10 -0400: Erase disc before burning: No
2008-10-02 15:31:10 -0400: Leave disc appendable: No
2008-10-02 15:31:10 -0400: Verify burned data after burning: Yes
2008-10-02 15:31:10 -0400: Eject disc after burning
2008-10-02 15:31:10 -0400:
2008-10-02 15:31:10 -0400: Preparing data for burn
2008-10-02 15:33:16 -0400: Opening session
2008-10-02 15:40:14 -0400: Finishing burn
Again, it hangs at the last stage. Any ideas?

I've run into the exact same problem shaun including, oddly enough, the keyboard problem during the "finishing burn" stage and the incredibly long shut down (although it does eventually shut down).
No solutions for you, but if misery loves company you have some. And I agree, you ought to be able to burn the occasional disc with the built in drive without having to buy an external burner.

Why don't all the mailboxes illuminate when I'm trying to move/ save an email

Why don't ALL mailboxes highlight when I'm trying to save something

You can either leave it in the Inbox or move it to one of the non-greyed out folders. If you havn't got any non-greyed out ones then if your email account is an IMAP one then you should be able to login to your account on a browser and create new folders there, and they should then appears in the Mail app. If it's a POP type account then unfortunately you're stuck with what you've got.
You can also, for example, copy-and-paste it into another app e.g. if it's plain text you could copy-and-paste it into Notes

My devices don't appear anymore on iTunes when I connect them

I have version 11.1.3.8 of iTunes.
Since I installed it, when I connect the devices to iTunes (iPod, iPad, iPhones), they are not visible anymore in iTunes.
I can see they are connected to the computer (I can access them) but why don't they appear in iTunes.
Finally, if I try to go to Files / devices / synchronise, "synchronise" is not accessible.
Can you help me ?
Thank you

Try:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

Why do eps files change in size when I open them in AI cc

I have a customer that often submits epss. When I open them in Illustrator CC it always opens them as 8.5 by 11 instead of 3.75 by 2.25 size they should be. If I use preview to open them they are the correct size. Does any one know why this might be?

See my other answer above.
No, Adobe has not updated EPS (or postscript anyway) since the last century.
A PDF includes allways trim, bleed, media and object boxes, EPS does not. If you get such information when you open an Illustrator EPS than it is because it contains an AI part in its file which is responsible for everything Illustrator or PDF like.
Here are some threads why to avoid PostScript:
Re: Print To PDF(What is said about PostScript is valid for EPS too.)
Re: Issues with trapping a postscript file out of Indesign
And many other.
Best is not to use PostScript anymore.
