Why is my keypad spazzing out?

When I try to type anything on my keyboard it starts freaking out and putting random letters and numbers, and it will type things even if I hold my finger over the keypad without touching the keypad.

See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the contract was honored and I am still an AT

Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the 2 year contract was honored and I continued to be an AT&T customer with an iPhone 4. I wanted my old 3gs unlocked so my daughter could use it overseas when she is deployed. AT&T service over there *****, the international plan was not worth it. The individual SIM cards per country are much more reliable and cheaper. Teslestial in Iraq and Afghanistan, Telecom in Croatia,Vodafphone in Germany and Italy. Why Apple will not unlock these phones for our military to utilize is incomprehensible to me. These young men and women are fighting for these Apple people to go to work every day, safe, to live lives they have become accustom to yet releasing a phone to use on another network they can't do at least for the military.... WHY APPLE?? WHY? A good excuse not some of the many lame excuses I have received on the phone many times. AT&T states it is Apple that will not allow them to unlock the phones... Please tell me why? All I want Is my daughter to have a phone I trust, to be able to call me when she is given the free time to do so and I trust the apple phone.
Apple, please reconsider your stance on this issue. I am having a hard time understanding why you will not unlock the iPhone.
A simple code could allow me to talk to my daughter while fighting for our country the Great USA. Apple should be on the front line and enabling those fighting for our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to use unlocked phones on reliable local GSM networks.
I honestly hope that someone who has some sort of authority to begin allowing the release of unlock codes, and not forcing people to unlock their phones with some program produced by some hack just to be able to use your wonderful phone. That is is in a nutshell, People love the iPhone so much that they want the ability to use it on the most reliable GSM carrier available to them. That should be a major compliment. Even men and women on the front line want your phone. I agree, my service is not the best where I live either, love the GSM technology so stay with it, but if I had the ability to change to the other GSM network that has much better coverage in this area of the country I would change. To change now I would not have my iPhone and that I will not part with.
Apple, please reconsider opening up the lock code and allow your gem of a phone to be used by many more people in many more areas and most importantly overseas fighting for our country. I know if this is really thought about Apple would understand and come to the conclusion to release the unlock codes, and stop the people from hacking in to use the iPhone on other networks.
I would love for my daughter to be able to use my iPhone 3gs while fighting for our Free country.
A response would be appreciated.
Thank you.
An Apple customer for 10 years, phones and computers.

Defiled:
I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east. She travels in missions all over.
At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone? AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier. If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" . My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T . I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product. My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
Thank you for your responses.

Why Can't Verizon Come out to Help Me?

I've had FiOS TV for quite some time. When the technician came he quickly ran to the door when I asked him to help me program my DVD player and told me it was not compatible and not his priority.
Now (almost 3 years later not being able to use my DVD player), I bought a new BLu-Ray and cannot for the life of me figure out how to hook it up.
I AM WILLING TO PAY FOR VERIZON FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO COME OUT AND HOOK IT UP FOR ME and they refuse and continue to say it is not their responsibiity.
I don't have any friends who know how to do it and it's going on 3 years + that I've had to use my laptop to watch a DVD.
Why can't Verizon come out if I pay and hook it up for me????
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Verizon does not install / set up non-Verizon equipment.
If you are willing to pay to have it configured, then try Geek Squad at Best Buy (but don't expect it to be cheap).

Why is the White MacBook out of the store?

Hallo Apple lovers,
I have a quastion for you: Why is the White MacBook out of the apple store?
Greetz,
Ruben.

The MacBook was sort of the "odd man out" in the whole MacBook lineup. With the update of the Air and the availability of the 13" MacBook Pro, there really isn't a place for the MacBook. Although, I don't believe Apple has made any announcement about discontinuing it.

IPod spazzing out

I've had problems with my iPod before, but this is unlike anything else....
It usually happens when I first turn the iPod from a complete charge. When I turn it on, it starts spazzing out. It goes back and forth through menus, songs, and turns the backlight on and off randomly. The entire time, it's making weird beeping noises (actual sounds, not from the headphones) and I listened to the hard drive...it's spinning like crazy. Eventually, the contrast is reset really low. It sorts itself out after a few minutes if I leave it alone, but this is really frustrating...
Any help / ideas are appreciated.

Try restoring your iPod with the iPod Updater and see if that resolves things.
Note Restoring erases all data on your iPod so please back up your music!

Why do my photographs get out of order after I burn them to a CD-R?

Why do my photographs get out of order after I burn them to a CD-R? They are in a folder in desktop and in order before I burn the CD. What am I doing wrong?

Hi there,
I don't know if it's too late to help, but I had this same problem and have found a solution that does not involve an iPhoto-only-CD or a slideshow. So for future users with this issue:
The photos get out of order because iPhoto's software arranges them superficially as you please, but when you put them back in an ordinary folder the computer wants to arrange them by date or file name (the original file name). You're not doing anything wrong, it's just the difficult thing about switching between an application and file storage on the finder.
The word you're looking for is Export, under the file menu in iPhoto.
Make a new folder on the desktop (or wherever). Use the Export function under file. A box should appear. Choose the quality of JPeg you want, etc. This next part is key: if you set the "File Name" bar to "Sequential" the photos will be renamed in your order when they are sent to your new folder. This way, even if they are sorted by name they will appear in the order you want. You can also put a prefix on it, for instance "Paris-" would give you files named "Paris-01", "Paris-02" etc. Now you should be able to burn the new folder on a disk using the usual methods. And your PC friends will be able to see it!
P.S. you could also just upload the ablum to flickr, facebook, or something in the cloud and keep your order that way. But if you want a hard copy this is way is handy.

While printing, why does PE11 crop the out put?

While printing, why does PE11 crop the out put?

Did you crop the photo to the same aspect ratio as your print size? If not, then the software will crop it for you.

Why can't I check out and down load LR5? Are the servers overwhelmed? Very frustrating!!!!!!!

I had the same problem yesterday trying to upgrade 4 to 5 - I ended up doing the upgrade over the telephone, where the "nice lady" said they were having a few server problems. I say "nice" but she downright annoyed me by trying every angle she could think of to flog me a full cloud subscription

Hi,
what Apple keyboard do you use ?
Usually the Num-Lock function is enabled using the 'Clear'-key (directly above the '7'-key on the numpad).

Why does the iPad fade out in my protector?

Why does my iPad fade out in it's protective cover. I have to remove it from the cover for the fade to disappear and return to normal.

what do you mean by "fade out?"

HT4914 why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

I had this problem too - of grayed out music I could only play when in WIFI. I noticed when looking in iTunes, these grayed song were not chosen by me to sync on to my iPhone. They were stored in iCloud. I went to Settings > Music and then turned off "Show All Music" so only music that has been dowloaded to my iPhone will be shown.
I don't have iTunes Match, so you may have a different issue than what I had.

Youtube videos spazzing out and freezing

Hi
Sometimes when I have a youtube video in another tab and then go back into that tab, the video will show the same image (as if it were paused, except the sound continues) and/or showing other images spazzing inside of the video (zooming in and out). The latter happens more frequently when I'm on a youtube playlist or have multiple youtube videos opened (not all playing). The latter is quite rare, however, and I had only gotten it twice before I started finding a way to reproduce the former problem. Both can occur independently of each other. I can't remember this happening to me on my old arch linux install (on the same computer), which had the same driver and browser.
I'm on a relatively new arch linux system (about 3 days old) so I barely have anything installed.
This is some of the stuff I have installed that might be relevant:
- Desktop Environment: Cinnamon
- Browser: Chromium
- Video driver: ATI (xf86-video-ati)
- flashplugin 11.2.202.291-1
Reproduction of problem:
1. Open Chromium
2. Open Youtube
3. Open three videos in a new tab from the front page
4. Close Youtube front page window
5. Wait for all videos to start
6. Pause all videos
7. Start video in tab #1
8. Click 'Youtube' in the left corner in tab #1 for home-page
9. Click a video
10. Let the video load and then either pause or let it play.
Now both videos from tab #1 and #3 are frozen (sound is still playing) with a white frame, picture from another website (if I tabbed to it from that website) or a picture from the video. Sometimes it's spazzing out with another video zooming in and out inside of the video frame.
Regards,
Surculus
PS. the problem can happen in with e.g. two youtube windows open, I just wrote one that always worked for reproducing the problem.

Hi BKLive
My problem is not that flash crashes. The sound is still playing, but the video freezes in place or is replaced by an image from another website in my tabs (that I would then have tabbed out of to get to the Youtube video). I tried the suggestions that were given in those forum posts, but they did not solve the problem. The only thing that 'fixed' it was using gnash. However, I do not want an infurior alternative that will negatively affect my experience watching youtube but rather to solve the problem. Unless of course there's an alternative that functions better than the default youtube flash player.
