Does anyone else have an iMac that starts typing on its own?
I try to type a password and the computer just starts typing, indefinitely. I'll write an email and the computer hits back again and again and again. Then it starts to beep me - the beep that says: "has already hit this key! I have no control over what he types. My only recourse is to restart, which works most of the time. Until yesterday.
This goes on 5 months patiently trying a bunch of solutions, none worked. Of course, it produced intermittently, making it much more difficult. However I called and talked to a counselor while he was hoping it would help. Nope.
I went through 5-6 people from Apple for probably 7 + hours on the phone. Finally, they said make a genius bar appt and bring it in. Yes, I did. The whole darn 27 "thing. They gave me a new keyboard to try. Nope. They suggested I have reinstall the latest system. Yes, I did. Nope.
I'm getting pretty well supplied upward.
I will say, in all the conversations I've had, I'm pinned a rude woman. Each representative was pleasant and everyone has, according to me, tried very hard to make it work.
Unfortunately the last woman I spoke with, a Counsellor who gave me his phone number and extension, did not return either my emails, nor my phone messages.
So I'm screwed out of. When he arrives, of course, I can't use my machine $2000 +. Fortunately, I have a laptop or I would scream bloody murder. Maybe I need to start screaming bloody murder. I want that they fix it or give me a new. 5 months is enough.
Someone else has a computer that writes on its own? Of course, I'd advice anyone can offer.
I've had this happen a couple of weeks - except that it was on my end 2012, Mac Mini, on which I had just done a clean install of El Capitan. The Mac Mini was using the Apple bluetooth - like the iMac keyboard.
I've only had the question on the login screen - it would just start repeatedly typing in the password field. To solve - and to see if was indeed a problem with the keyboard - I went to a wired keyboard - and the problem stopped. This little told me it was the keyboard. To troubleshoot further - I happened to have a spare identical keyboard - so I have the bluetooth of the iMac keyboard odd and not matched the keyboard problem of the Mac Mini. I paired the keyboard blue tooth with the Mac Mini iMac and paired the bluetooth problem with the iMac keyboard. I did a reset SMC, PRAM/NVRAM reset and start secure on the iMac and Mac Mini (precaution). The problem never happened again. I was not yet the keyboards of return - and it has been a few weeks. If you do not have a wired keyboard or bluetooth spare parts - you could try the following:
1 turn off your iMac keyboard pairing.
2. join your iMac keyboard
3 stop the iMac
4 perform a SMC reset (iMac, you delete all the devices to the iMac - unplug the power cord at the back of the iMac.) Wait at least 15 seconds. Reattach the power cord to the iMac. Wait at least 5 seconds. Press the button.
5. when the iMac restarts - stop it again.
6 reset the PRAM (memory NVRAM) - by simultaneously pressing the keys CMD OPTION P and R, after hearing the boot chime. Keep hold the keys until you hear the chime again. Then keep hold the keys down until you hear one more chime. Release the keys - let the iMac start.
7 judgment of the iMac, once again.
8. perform a startup by holding down the left SHIFT key when you hear the boot chime. Now keep the left SHIFT key until you see the progress during the start bar. On the login screen - it should be a message from Red starting at the top right of the screen. Allow the iMac to sit at the display of connection for 5 minutes. Connect to iMac - (it will be slower than normal). Allow the iMac to sit to the desktop for about 5 minutes - do not run all the apps. After 5 minutes - stop the iMac.
9 start the iMac and Note If the keyboard is no longer slap on its own.

Does anyone else have problems with tasks dashing ACS box
This is the second time that I applied a patch ACS to one of our boxes of ACS SE 1113 only to happen in an unusable state. Today, I applied patch level 4.1.4.13.7 4.1.4.13.11. I used the GUI to apply the hotfix. Now most of the services will not start. Restore does not work. It seems that he will again have to be reconfigured.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Maybe I should have used the command line to apply the patch?
Randy
You must apply CSUpdate first, then the patch for 4.1.4.13.7
Kind regards

I was running version 9.x and had this problem, so I've just updated to 11 of Firefox, but it does not help.
The problem is that the URL bar doesn't let me type a new address in some cases - preferring instead to refer to a previously visited address. It would be better if I gave an example:
I'm trying to access a site, that I have not visited, for example holden.com.au
I type 'h', and the URL bar suggests that I go to my Hotmail login page (the URL for that starts by of ') and the rest of the extreme Auto (so now I'm in the situation where I have an address in the bar from '). This means that I can not continue to enter the address provided.
Can it be fixed or is it just a question for me?
I solved this problem by going to: setting up and activating/deactivating the browser.urlbar.autoFill layout. I think the default setting has been changed in a recent update.

You could try to connect the Creative outside swarm (in preferences) and before coming back in and see if that helps. The procedure is described here: connect and disconnect activate Cloud Creative applications

Does anyone else have trouble with pressure on the edges?
Often, it seems that the Xoom has a mind of its own and I noticed that it seems that causes pressure on the banks to do things I'm not saying it to do.
And then reading a book by Google Book Search or the Kindle app to touch the side of the screen to turn a page, it is often two or three instead of one.
A lot of buttons seems to be much too sensitive. Is there a way to lower the sensitivity of the touch? I couldn't see in the settings, but it would be easy for me to miss.
Welcome to arizona-willie,
I don't think there is a way to lower the sensitivity to the 'touch' or region on the Xoom. I found with my unit that it does not recognize a tap on the perimeter black solid, but it will be pick-up my finger if it flies over the slightest on the portion of the screen. With the help of the portfolio of Motorola or a gel sleeve helps me keep the Xoom without touching the edges during usage. This could be another option to look at.

The site is easy to navigate and the next regular charge is NOT what I ordered. I'm not happy as any with multiple connections, how it works, or the payment will be charged which is NOT what I've been led to believe.
Hi ericksonoct54,
I'm sorry that your subscription is causing you frustration. While I can cancel your subscription, I can't process a refund. The fastest way to be able to be supported is to contact Adobe customer service. A quick chat with an agent session should take care of things. Here are the details: contact customer service
