getting random symbols when I type on macbook pro

I get get random symbols (usually [inserted randomly between text) when I tap on Macbook Pro running OS X El Capitan.

That usually happens when you press the P button, which is located just next door?

Maybe try system preferences and make sure that your "Keyboard" and "language and region" settings are correct.

    I have not seen this error with type names in our project, or this error in the previous version. Someone has seen this before and knows a way around it?

    It's a regression in the PS2 (11.1.1.3.0) during our generation of DDL has been rewritten. The problem, in a nutshell, is that while determining if the generated DDL must precede the name of the object with a differnet scheme, there are some erroneous (simpler) made of string manipulation. So if the name (or schema.name) in the source contains the token of what follows (ie the ACE or IS) has the problem. This problem is fixed in 11.1.2.0.0 and 11.1.1.4.0 streams.

    There are two possible solutions.

    You can use instead OF as in the above case (in the STATE does not appear in the name) or simply change the case of ACE so that it is not the same as in the name - that is to say use "beneath", 'As' or 'Sub '.

    I hope this helps.

However the print with my macbook and the tablet will not work. Or the printjob freezes in the print queue (after 13%) or he know finished printjob and the printer does not respond.

    Hi Herman,.

    OK... to sum up cela a bit for my understanding...

    1 printing works via AirPrint so connected in WiFi Direct to the printer.

    2. Printing now works very well with the HP printer driver in your typical network, but only with added using the IP printer.

    Can you please also test printing with HP printer driver when the Officejet is connected via Wireless Direct and added as a device Hello? I'm curious to see if it works now, which means the HP printer driver works well.

    It works, so the printer and driver are fine.

    If that works fine, but still print via AirPrint or HP driver printer using Hello connection fails in your regular network, then this is somehow related to your router settings. Please check if all multicast or IGMP settings that need to be enabled or disabled. I also suggest to contact your service provider for details on your router.

     
  • NEED HELP! How can I get 2560 * 1600 on Win 7? MacBook Pro 17 + Dell 30 inch PAM 3008 + Fusion 3

    I run THAT VM Ware Fusion 3 on a Mac Book Pro 17 hooked up to a Dell 30 inch screen

    I can manage to get a resolution of 2560 * 1600 on the MacBook Pro.

    However, the highest resolution I can get Win 7 is 2048 * 15336 (and I want to be able to set it to 2560 * 1600 to take advantage of my 30-inch screen!)

    I searched the KB and found an article that mentioned that I should add the following lines in the vmx file (which I did)

    The lines are at the bottom of the vmx file

    svga.maxWidth = "2560.

    svga.maxHeight = "1600".

    svga.vramSize = "16384000".

    KB Article: http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 1003 & sliceId = 1 & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & dialogID = 63746028 & StateID = 0% 200% 2066741566

    I did handling described in the KB above, however, restarted several times, but I still can't correct resolution to show in Windows

    Did you install VMware Tools? Without need of any settings to the file .vmx, the highest resolution I see is 2560 x 1920 (and 2560 x 1600 is an option).

    Edit: I suggest going out changes to the .vmx file, you set the size to 16 MB VRAM max

  • What are the normal batteries fresh cycle when buying a used macbook pro

    Hello

    Looking to buy a macbook pro 2014, battery life is important enough and the machine, that I'm looking seems really well taken care of but the battery charge cycle is 300. Is this ok or normal? I don't like the idea that it is a third of the used way!

    Regardless of the number of cycles a battery has gone through, replace the battery with five years of service.  Age is a factor in the health of a lithium-ion battery.

    Assuming a battery will last in its setting of 1000 cycles design (most don't) suggests that 200 cycles per year would be realistic.  The MBP you are considering have 300 cycles seems to be quite normal given his age.  I wouldn't worry.

    Ciao.

  • How can I stop getting the international symbols when I type? Parameters are set on U.S.

    If I leave my iMac for more than an hour and then start to type, for each character, as I type, I get a box showing international characters.

    Whenever it happens that I have to do a hard reboot.

    My keyboard settings are of the U.S..

    I should add that this does not happen all the time, maybe 60% of the time.
