Why keyboard get stucks under ML?

Keyboard gets stuck for some unknown reasons since I installed ML. Did that happen to you too?

Ended up not reinstalling but was able to fix this by copying over some of the prefpanes from: /System/Library/PreferencePanes/ from a good install. I thought I looked here first but apparently not, this did fix the issues i was having.
I moved the hard drive into my MacBook Pro to see if the keyboard prefpane changed appropriately (it did as it showed my keyboard backlight settings) and then I noticed that the trackpad prefs were dead too.
And this one was dead too...
Old (replaced the bottom 4 prefpanes with ones from 10.9.2):
New:
Seems odd that the version numbers are lower on the newer prefpanes...
but now all works as it should
Will never upgrade in-place again.

  • Keyboard getting stuck!

    Alright, my phones stock keyboard has started to act up. As a temporary fix I have switched to the swype keyboard but I hate that keyboard with a passion!
    What happens is, whether I am in a text, on the internet, or anything that deals with using the keyboard to type, the keyboard will completely freeze if I hit the space bar or hit the period button. I can't hit the back button to make the keyboard disappear, the keyboard just stays on my screen, I can move to the different homepages and open apps, but the keyboard just stays there and everything opens behind it. The only way I can get it removed is to completely turn off my phone and turn it back on.
    I have tried to clear the cache, clear the data, uninstall and re-install my texting app, but nothing works! I want my normal keyboard back and not the swype keyboard. Any ideas of what is going on?

    Try this:
    1.  Hit the Menu button on the lower left of your phone.
    2.  Settings.
    3.  Applications.
    4.  Manage Applications.
    5.  All (along the top).
    6.  Scroll down and select Multi-touch keyboard.
    7.  Under "Storage," tap "Clear data."

  • Reasons why TRFC's get stuck in SM58

    Hi
    Can anyone give reasons why TRFCS get stuck in SM58.
    We have a problem and it isnt as simple as just releasing them manually as it is happening a lot so wondered if there was any tables or log that could be deleted etc
    Cheers

  • App stuck under Menu Bar after Unlock

    Random application's Title bars are getting stuck under the Menu Bar at the top left of the screen after I unlock my Air.  Attempts to drag the window to a different location results in them snapping back to the original position.  The only fix is to close the application and restart.
    Anyone else seeing this?  Could this be an Accessibility option that's on that shouldn't be?

    I ended up re installing Mavericks after the last update (10.9.1) from a bootble USB stick. The problem appears to have gone away, so maybe my original upgrade of Mavericks caused the problem???
    I downloaded Mavericks again from the app store. When it had finished downloading (approx 5Gb) I exited the installer and created a bootable USB (needs to be 8GB minimum). Then booted from USB and ran the Mavericks installer. As I said problem seems to have disappeared......
    I used this article http://www.macworld.com/article/2056561/how-to-make-a-bootable-mavericks-install -drive.html and used the method in Option 1 in the article to create the drive. A Synopsis of the steps are:
    Format the USB using Disk Utility to Mac OS Extended with GUID partition.
    Open Terminal and paste the following command press Return and enter admin password when prompted
    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    It takes a while to create and copy the installer. (Could be up to 30 mins)
    Finally reboot and hold down Option key while computer boots then select the USB drive.

  • Help: title bar permanently stuck under parent title bar

    I am using the program Jalview, which is a Java-based protein/DNA sequence alignment editor. This program works by opening a parent window, within which all subsequent windows are opened. My problem is that the title bar of one of these sub-windows (ie: the only part which you can click on to drag the window around) has become trapped under the title bar of the parent window. Saving my work, closing the program then re-loading has not helped as the program saves the windows open inside the parent window as a "session" and remembers the location of each window - so my window of interest always ends up back in the same place stuck under the title bar!
    Title bars getting stuck under things is an infuriating bug that I often encounter when using Macs, but never to this extent.
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    I would ask if the app has a Window Menu and whether this lists the window ?
    If so can it be brought to the "Front" so that you can grab it ?
    If not I would go to your Home Folder/Library/Preferences and find the .plist for the app.
    I would highlight it and use Quick Look to read through the info - mainly to check it is not containing stuff you want to keep/not lose.
    The info may contain the window location info.
    If the .plist does not contain other stuff that is important and cannot be reset I would delete it.
    The next time the app is started up it will read defaults and windows will be back to their default positions.
    Edit:-
    Most apps written for Macs have the tool bar button top right of the Header (White/non coloured oblong tablet shaped button) If you use this the Tool Bar the apps has can be turned Off - which might just make the title Bar area small enough to grab the partially hidden window.

  • Iphone Keyboard got stuck

    This is a pretty funny picture of my friend's Iphone's keyboard getting stuck sideways as he was tilting the phone. This picture was taken by my Iphone.

    All the keys were still functional, and you could still move around the page he was in.
    Dear Apple, nice glitch.

    First time I've seen this particular problem reported here.
    Dear Apple, nice glitch.
    You aren't addressing anything to Apple here. This is a user to user help forum only.
    Standard troubleshooting steps in order are; power the iPhone off and on, Reset, Restore.
    If none of these 3 steps resolves the problem, time to give AppleCare a call (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

  • DirectoryService gets stuck?

    I don't know if this is related by every now and then my 2011 MacBook Pro gets 'stuck' writing a file.
    I notice it when I'm compiling something if it also writes out to disk.
    When I do a top I see that 1 process is stuck.
    Sorting on top shows:
    11 DirectoryService 0.0 01:18.95 6 4 73 105 2896K 244K 4608K 60M 2455M 11 1 stuck 0 940127 100357 3114746 1655558 2692811 1913856 537790 1410 root
    Anyone know why DirectoryService gets stuck like that?
    It doesn't seem to be related to my file writing getting stuck (Still no idea what causes that) as it shows up as stuck constantly even when my laptop is working fine.

    I can't make anything of that output; it looks garbled. In any case, top doesn't show directly which processes are stuck. It's probably not DirectoryService. Does any process show as "not responding" in Activity Monitor?

  • HT1535 ting stuck on "Waiting for changes to be applied" does i keep trying to sync my iphone 4s but it wont finish the sync it keeps getting stuck on anyone know why ?

    i keep trying to sync my iphone 4s but it wont finish the sync it keeps getting stuck on "Waiting for changes to be Applied" has anyone had a similar problem? and what should i do ?

    I know that most of these posts were put up a little while ago
    But.
    I too had a similar problem and an "error" message (waiting for changes to be applied)
    - my thoughts were:
    Something to do with update to IOS 7.4
    Corruption
    Itunes software issue
    After a LOT of research, I found a simple step that solved this issue for me.
    I had been running my sync (pre - IOS 7.4) as automatic - see the options section under the summary tab
    This can be viewed when you click on your device - right up the top you'll see tabs
    SUMMARY / INFO / APPS / TONES / MUSIC / MOVIES / TV SHOWS / BOOKS / PHOTOS etc.
    I changed my selection to manually manage music and videos and tried another sync
    Wha La!
    It began to copy over 700 songs that had not properly synced to my Ipad 2
    BONUS: it then started to sync my videos again.
    Hope this helps somebody.
    It certainly made my life less frustrating
    Downside: I have to MANUALLY manage - but it's better than all the hassles
    NB: I don't know why this error occurs and I'm not sure this fix will work for everyone's issues but it can't hurt.

  • W510 Solid State Drive (SSD) Gets Stuck Causing BSoD. Why?

    Hey guys, this has been a problem for a while now, and it is really mind boggling ... I have a Lenovo ThinkPad W510 laptop with a 256GB Crucial M4 SSD drive. Ever so randomly the drive just hangs, the LED light that the drive is trying to load something stays "ON" for up to 5 minutes or so before it finally goes into a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD). Once it goes into BSoD the laptop reboots and it gets stuck on the ThinkPad motherboard logo, eventually it will display "ERROR 2100: HDD0 (Hard Disk Drive) initialization error (X)" Where X is usually 1 or 2, sometimes 3 but rarely. It will not function again until I physically turn it off and back on using the power button.
    A little bit of background about the problem, this is my 3rd Crucial 256GB M4 SSD, Crucial has been very helpful and they went as far as replacing the drive twice, i am starting to highly doubt its a drive issue, I think it could be something from the laptop itself. To be more clear, my laptop has also been serviced back in March (Motherboard was swapped as well as keyboard), parts failure. It was all done in very timely manner and everything was OK after the swap.
    A representative from Crucial told me that this is a classical problem with the SATA controller driver handling TRIM, he said the drive is getting stuck in an infinite TRIM state which causes the BSoD, after that the drive goes into some sort of a "panic" mode to protect itself and doesn't function again until a full power cycle. (thus the need to turn off and then on the laptop) he also added it could be fixed by installing the correct SATA controller driver.
    I have tried to use the default windows SATA controller driver, and I have tried to use the Intel one too, and it seems to happen less often with the windows drivers, but overall, it happens at least once a day. It is really frustrating and I am not able to get anywhere with it.
    Any help or advice is highly appreciated. I am considering getting rid of the Crucial SSD altogether and just using Intel SSD instead, but I am really doubtful that it is the SSD's fault especially that its the 3rd one I use. I also know a couple of friends who own ThinkPads with Crucial M4 SSD inside them, and they seem to be working very well for them.
    Thanks in advance,
    Al.

    Hi again,
    Ok so I have applied the fix you have mentioned above, and it did improve (lower) the frequency of the problem happening. It really improved a lot significantly when I uninstalled the Intel drivers and used the Windows 7 built in SATA controller drivers.
    However, ... it still happens ... less frequent, but it still takes place, my SSD still gets stuck at least once in 3 days now, or once in 2 days (after severe testing) and the same scenario happens. I am really stuck at this point, and not sure which direction to take.
    Any help would really be appreciated, if you have / know any method to debug the BSoD's I get and a way to locate the source of the problem I am willing to go through it 1 by 1 and solve this problem before deciding to finally just giving up on the drive altogether.
    Sincerely,
    Al.

  • When I open the settings and messages of the iPhone 4s I get stuck in a white screen, what should I do? the keyboard to open there is minute, I can not open the settings in any way.

    when I open the settings and messages of the iPhone 4s I get stuck in a white screen, what should I do? the keyboard to open there is minute, I can not open the settings in any way.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Why does my iPhoto seem to get "stuck" a lot of times to the point where I have to force quit it and how do I fix it?

    Why does my iphoto seem to get "stuck" a lot of the times when I try to exit it to the point where I have to "force quit" it and how do I fix the problem that causes it?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    does this only happen when you try to quit iPhoto?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    Happy Holidays
