Yoga2 Pro key repeat

Anyone else experience intermittent key repeats when typing on the Yoga2 Pro? Every 1-2 sentences I will get double characters on one letter or another, or a double <Enter>. Adjusting the key repetition threshold in Windows didn't seem to make much difference.

This happens to me quite frequently, especially with comma,, period, and the N key.. (SIC, the duplications in the previous sentence were not intentional, but I DID intentionally leave them in place whereas I would typically correct them elsewhere)
SO, this is a known issue. Is a solution kknown? (sic, again)
Thanks,
Ari

Macbook Pro Key repeat problem

I've had my MacBook Pro for almost 2 years now but it's recently started to have keyboard repeat issues. The keys are not physically stuck but behave like they are, in a totally random manner - including the delete key and the space bar. Messages will end up lookinggggggg a bittttttt like thissssssssssssss. Very annoying.
This tends to be accompanied by a sluggish trackpad too. Then after a while - it behaves normally again.
I have nothing else attached - anyone any ideas?
Thanks

I've been having an occasional key repeat problem for a while, I'd say for a year. I'll be typing, and then I'll stop, and the last key I pressed starts repeating and keeps going until I press another key. I've also seen it miss characters sometimes. This happens more often than a key repeating by itself. I'll be sure I pressed a key, but I get "wrds like ths." Maybe I'm just not pressing a key "deep" enough. Sometimes I've tried typing a bit slower and that seems to help.
I regret not bringing my laptop in for someone to look at earlier, but I've been very busy for the last couple years. The problem hasn't occurred often enough to make it a problem that I felt compelled to solve right away. It just feels like an annoyance, like, "Come on. This shouldn't have made it off the line like this!" I don't want to start a "war", but I had a Windows laptop before my Mac and I never had these problems with the keyboard. There are other attributes I like about my Mac, so it's annoying but not a big deal for me.
I usually run VMWare Fusion 2.0, and I've suspected that it's a culprit. The problem doesn't just occur on web pages, though that's where I usually notice it when it happens. I've seen it in TextEdit as well. What I notice is it happens when I've got something else running in the background taking up CPU time. Maybe the computer is swapping to/from disk. Sometimes I've seen it happen on a web page with some slow Javascript on it, again taking up CPU time. It seems to me it's a matter of the hardware or software missing the signal from the keyboard. Perhaps it's related to the "keyboard sleep" problem, which I've also seen, where the keyboard and trackpad just go dead. In this case I put the computer to sleep for a bit and then wake it back up. That brings both back for a bit, but it usually reoccurs, in which case I reboot it.
I've been hoping that Apple would come out with a patch for the key repeat problem. So far I haven't seen it. Would an upgrade to Snow Leopard fix it?

Keyboard's key repeat feature doesn't work in Audition

For Audition CS6, I've reassigned zoom-in and -out to the keys "R" and "T" (like on Pro Tools). It does zoom. However, when holding down a key to zoom in or out (R or T), the key repeat function doesn't work. I don't think the key repeat function works at al within Audition CS6. Is this so?
My keyboard's keys DO repeat in all other programs though. I like to zoom in quickly to either the playhead or to the IN or OUT of a selection. Unfortunately, the end result is a mere one-zoom instance per one key click (down then up) instead of what our PC/Mac's keyboard's key repeat function could do (when using Pro Tools): allowing you to zoom in or out quickly by utilizing the computer system's keyboard key repeat function. As it is, I'm much slower having to "tap-tap-tap-tap-tap..." to zoom in and out. Intolerable!
The mouse scroll wheel DOES zoom in/out smoothly though, oddly enough.

I just checked for the option to "zoom in on the play head," but couldn't
find anything. I'm on the latest version of CS6 (5.0.2 build 7). I see
"Synchronize selection, zoom level, and playhead *across files *in the
Waveform Editor."
I just tried checking and unchecking that, trying it on a single piece of
audio in the Waveform view. But the scroll wheel zoom feature seems to
have a mind of its own. I want to always be able to zoom directly to the
playhead*. *That is, say I zoom out quickly via my scroll wheel. Great.
That works fast and well. I go to zoom back in to where the playhead is
moving (playing). And say, then, my cursor a couple of inches before it in
the full zoomed-out view. Mouse cursor is in the general area of the
playhead zoomed fully out as I am, but when I scroll back in, it zooms in
not to where the playhead is, but waaaay out in front.

Keys Repeating Too Fast

Can someone help me figure out how to stop the keys from repeating so fast on my Macbook Pro?
Recently I tried to change the key repeat rate in the keyboard preferences, but the keys began repeating so fast that a single tap produced 4 or more letters. I went back into the preferences to move the sliders back to their default positions, but moving them produced no change, and the keys keep repeating way too fast. Whenever I return to the keyboard preference pane, both of the sliders – "key repeat rate" and "delay until repeat" - are pushed to the far left and do not appear to function when moved.
Other user accounts are not affected by the key repeat problem if I log into them before logging into the affected account. Plus, I can recreate the problem in a new account simply by moving the key repeat slider in the keyboard preferences.
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
Macbook Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I found a fix for the problem by using Tinker Tool to show my hidden files. I then changed the settings in my keyboard preference pane, and ran a search for recently modified items. The search showed a hidden preference file, which I moved to a different folder in case I needed it later.
I then restarted the MacBook Pro and the preference file was replaced with the default settings. The keys now type at a normal rate, but I can still recreate the problem by simply adjusting the key repeat slider, so I just won't touch it until I find a permanent fix.
I then trashed the preference file that I moved since the keys typed correctly.
By the way, I tested this on a new user account before I trashed any essential files in my main user account.

QuickTime 7 Pro Key Does Not Work

Apple Store sent me a QT Pro "key" and link to on-line instructions. Nothing works. My System Preferences QuickTime dialog/panel does not have an OK button (or a Register button). It's a dead-end dialog. Email reply to my plea for help from Apple Support said I cannot use the QT 7 Pro key on a Mac with OS X 10.3.9 and QuickTime 7.0.3. Said to reinstall 7.0.1 (downgrading from 7.0.3), which I have done, to no avail. Next, I'm supposed to reinstall QuickTime 6.... MEANWHILE, on an Apple QuickTime Web page, it says that QuickTime 7 Pro REQUIRES QuickTime 7. The Apple Support email also suggested that I cannot use QT 7 Pro unless I have OS X Tiger. The email seems fat fetched, but the on-line info doesn't help either. What do I have to do to get QuickTime 7 Pro running? I've paid in full for the privilege. Thanks.

I appreciate your taking time to reply. Unfortunately, the circumstance you describe does not work on my system, and no one can tell me why or what to do to fix it. Before I went to the Apple online store to buy QuickTime Pro, I already had QT 7.0.3 on my Mac OS X, 10.3.9, system. I paid for QT 7 Pro and got the "key"/registration email from Apple. The email included a link to online installation instructions which do, in fact, tell me to click OK in the System Preferences QuickTime panel (though there is no OK button). I tried again, using your advice, and simply quit System Preferences. Still no QT Pro. When I do a find, Sherlock returns 71 items whose names contain "quicktime." Only one is an application, QuickTime Player v. 7.0.1, No QuickTime Pro. [FYI, though I had QT 7.0.3 on my Mac, the Apple support email told me to "reinstall" 7.0.1, which I did. They actually wanted me to reinstall/downgrade to QuickTime version 6, but I have not done that.] My reason for wanting QuickTime Pro to work is so I can convert AIFF audio files to MP3 audio files. QuickTime Player won't do it for me and told me to get Pro. Thanks, --CSZ

HT3678 I find that even with my Pro key someof the functions are no longer available. Such as looping movies or clips.

I recently upgraded to Lion but find that my Quicktime Pro key doesn't free up all the function that I originally had.
I can't loop clips the function is greyed out.
Anyone else find this or is there an update toreturn this to what I paid for.

"Loop" in Quicktime Pro 7.6.6 is still broken running in Mac OS 10.7.4 .
Apple, please fix this ! Some of us use Quicktime PRO in our PROFESSIONAL jobs , y'know what I mean? This isn't a hobby or something that can wait months and months to fix.

Will QT Pro Key 7.0.2 work with QT 7.0.3?

I understand QT 5 or QT 6 Pro Keys will not work with QT 7.0.3. But will QT 7 or QT 7.0.2 Pro Key work with QT 7.0.3? I just bought mine a short while ago.
I think it should, but I'm afraid it will lock me out. Any definitive answer on this?
Thanks

Your Quicktime Pro 7 key will work just fine with 7.0.3.

MacBook Pro keys not working.

Help! My MacBook Pro keys Q-O aren't not working. I've tried doing a Pram restart, but it won't work as keys P & R aren't working, and I can't login as my password contains broken keys. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Try a SMC reset;
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Check these as well
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

QT Pro key - Migrating from PB to MBP

Hello there, I just got a MacBook Pro and transfered (just about everything transferable) from my old PB using the Migration Assistant. I can see that my QT Pro key was transfered over with the migration process that was part of the original configuration in the MBP. The question is: If I decided to format the MBP's HD and reinstall the OSX, could I just reenter the Pro Key that I purchased with my PB and will it work? If not, then how else can I do it (obviously not meaning that I have to buy a new key)?
I suppose that this must be possible since the migration utilily actually migrates the Pro key itself.
Thanks in advance.
George...

Yes, you would be able to open the QT Preferences, choose the Registration pane, and the enter your registration name and the Pro Key you received from Apple. It is best to do it by using copy and paste from the email confirmation to assure you get the exact key strokes needed.

Upgrade path to 8.1 pro using windows 8 pro keys

Hi,
I have a windows 8 pro upgrade license which I bought when windows 8 was launched and have been unable to use it on my existing computer. I would like to use this license on a new computer and want to know what is the correct version of Windows Complete
Install to buy.
One option for me is to buy Windows 7 Home complete install then upgrade to Windows 8 Pro and eventually to Windows 8.1 Pro through the windows store. This is too tedious instead can I buy Windows 8.1 Home and use the Windows 8 Pro keys to upgrade it
to Windows 8.1 Pro directly?
Please advise on the correct version of complete Windows to be bought so I can take advantage of my Windows 8 Pro license.
Best regards,
Jai

Hi Jai
I suggest you to follow upgrade path using your Window 8 pro upgrade license since you already bought it
And I suggest also check whether this PC ready to upgrade to Windows 8.1, you can check using upgrade assistance to check if there is compatibility SW or device before you upgrade
There is 2 method for upgrade to Windows 8.1
1. buy upgrade key
2. buy DVD
Regarding upgrade key or buy the DVD, I suggest contact retailer or Microsoft sales

Keyboard key repeat very slow after immigration

Hi everybody,
when I got my macbook with Lion, I changed the keyrepeat to a bit higher speed, because I think the default is a bit to slow.
Then I changed my Harddrive and immigrated my user profile, except the User Data folders...
Then, I changed had to change my UID to make my old Userdata available again, and I guess, something may be went wrong here...
Wenn I change the keyrepeat speed in the keyboard preferences, there is no effect at all. It stays at the same speed, even if I turn of the keyrepeat.
Has anyone an idea, what I can check here?

Hm, ok, I cheered to soon.
It looks like it helps only for a few minutes??? I have to type the command and than log back in. If I test the key repeat within the shell it is perfect for my needs, but after a few minutes, it switches back to the old speed... That kind of *****....
Is there also an option to uncheck "This solved my question", otherwise I guess I have to open an new thread...

Need new pro key to update from 7.0.4 to 7.1.6?

Greetings,
Have QT Pro v7.0.4 installed. Would like to update to v7.1.6 without having to buy a new key for QTPro. Intuition says I should be able to do this, but conflicting info from Apple makes me question my intuition and hesitate to install v7.1.6.
- Apple site says this v7.1.6 update is recommended for all v7 users.
- legal agreement text at beginning of v7.1.6 installer says that continuing installation will require purchase of new key for pro users.
- QT "help->about" box says I am using v7.0.4, but "help->update" says "your quicktime software is up to date", even though the Apple site says there is a v7.1.6 available.
Can I update from v7.0.4 to v7.1.6 without having to purchase a new key to retain Pro level? If so, is running the v7.1.6 installer downloaded from the main Apple site the appropriate way to do this?
I'd rather be more sure of the answer before any trial and error experiment that obliterates my existing Pro key.
Thanks

If you were going from QT6 to QT7 you would need to purchase a new QT pro key. In other words when Apple releases a new version of QT a new key is required. QT7.0.4 to 7.1.6 is just a update of the exsisting version. So your QT7 key is good untill the release of QT8.
I would open the QuickTime control panel click on the Update tab then click on the Update... button for the QT7.1.6.200 update, your key should remain intact. But it wouldn't hurt to write down the registration info anyway.
If you want to put a check in the box-Check for updates automatically-Apple will let you know when there is a new one.

QT Pro key is invalid after reinstall

I had to reinstall my OS and all of my software and now my QT Pro Key that I purchased earlier this year is not valid after the reinstall of QT 7. Any ideas why? Apple won't help at all. I would have to pay $50 for technical support, which is dumb b/c a new key is $30.

Make sure you're entering in _both_ the user name and key code _exactly_ as in the email Apple sent you. Any error in either, including leaving off a salutation (for instance, if the email says "Mr. John Smith") will cause the registration to error.
Hope this helps.

Quicktime player has stopped working in Vista after registering Pro key

I have installed QT player as part of the itunes QT package today and it appeared to work untill I registered it with my pro key which also enabled the additional function, but when i closed and restarted I get message "Quicktime player has stopped working...etc" and it never opens. I have repaired, reinstalled QT, reinstalled QT and itunes, all to no effect. I then restored to before QT and i tunes installation then reinstalled QT and itunes and it works again !, but only until I enter pro key and exit and restart. There is also an issue with the addin in internet explorer which also does not work, but generates a string of error messages when i try to play movies. Oddly enough, if I run QT as administrator it works, and if it seems the QT browser addin works in Firefox (when run off memory stick)
I'm completly confused and frustrated; anyone any ideas please, I'm running Vista SP1 on Dell XPS420 Quad core 2.4 Gig 4MB RAM

Have looked in this a little further and the problem may not be todo with the Pro registration as having restored to a point before QT installation several times I now find that when reinstalled QT works the first time you run it but once closed it will not reopen. However if I run as administrator it runs OK, also if i turn off User Account Control it works OK; this true for the Internet Explorer addin as well as QT player and even the picture viewer. The picture viewer actually reports an error "Quicktime has failed to intialize Error # - 2095". One final observation is that the QT addin works OK without user account control switched off in Firefox 3 b5.
Something is amiss I suspect with permissions/security and i would rather not operate with User Account Control off.
Much appreciate anyones advise on this it is driving me mad

Upgrade to ML seems to have knocked out Key Repeat?

I've been on ML for a couple of weeks now and have just noticed that I cannot get the Key Repeat to work when holding down letter or number keys.
It works fine for punctuation marks and symbols.
Is it possible to produce a line like this mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm without having to keep tapping the key?

I have a different problem. Pressing & holding a key doesn’t bring up a menu; it results in very slow key repeats. Entering —defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false— produced no change.
Any suggestions?
