IMac, by default, the keyboard

I use an APPLE Wired Digital keyboard, when I press the key "a" I am me "az", even for the 'q' = 'qs' and 'w' = 'xw', 't' and 'y' (even in the capital) lost. I check again with the new keyboard with the same problem. I checked keyboard settings.

I launched "Applejack", active disk and permissions (no problem).

My iMac seems OK, but the only problem with keyboard?

Reset the SMC 2 or 3 times, if the problem persists after reset then try another USB keyboard and test. If the problem disappeared with the 2nd keyboard then you know the original is defective and must be replaced. Keyboards can and wear out or can be damaged because of the abuse of the owner.

  • Default screen of the blackBerry Smartphones Portrait showed icons, now displays the keyboard.

    I let a friend play a bit with the phone today. After that, my home screen changed and I could not find a way to restore it.

    When using the portrait used to have icons on the screen. Now I have a keyboard showing instead (with numbers and letters, such as a phone. If I flip to the landscape, I get the icons. If I hit the 'menu' button, I get the icons. If I type and click on the screen above the keypad, I get the icons. If I press a selection from the keyboard, it opens the phone and enters the first issue. I would like to have the icons it by default in portrait again. I did a battery pull and looked through the options, but without success.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    Second battery pull it cleared up. It was strange. I could change the multi tap keyboard and suretype. But the portrait by default the keyboard upwards. Second battery pull took back me to the default screen, I was used to, with my icons arranged as I wanted them to be.

  • How do a NumericTextFilter custom with an 'e '. Or how affect NUMLOCK on the keyboard.

    Hello

    I just almost finished my first BB (on Blackberry OS 5.0) application. I have just one thing to fix, and it is to make a custom NumericTextFilter that allows the 'e' character for exhibitor. For example - 1.23e5, which is - 1.23 5 door.

    public class MyRealDecimal extends TextFilter {
        private String acceptedCharacters = "-0123456789.eE'
    
        public char convert(char character, int status){
            if(!validate(character))
                return 0;
            return character;
        }
    
        public boolean validate(char character){
            if(acceptedCharacters.indexOf(character)!=-1)
                return true;
            return false;
        }
    
    }
    

    This piece of code simply do the work. In Storm 2 keyboard displays numeric characters, the negative sign, decimal and the character 'e' or 'E '. But it's not exactly what I want because the mode of default keyboard of the Alpha characters. The text field I have is mostly used for digital and rarely uses the character 'e '.

    My question is how can I default the keyboard num (NumLock) mode and implement 'ABC' only when it is necessary to use the 'e '?

    I tried

    public class MyRealDecimal extends NumericTextFilter
    

    The mode is good. Default keyboard mode is Numlock. When I change [ABC] here, I found 'E '. But when I press it, sinking '2' instead of 'E '.

    I'm now thinking using one where I extend TextFilter instead of NumericTextFilter, but then, can anyone help me how can I set the digital lock key?

    Thanks guys...

    I got it to work...

    public class RealDecimalFilter extends NumericTextFilter {
    
        private String acceptedCharacters = "-0123456789.eE";

            if(!validate(c)){
                return 0;
            }
            return c;
        }
    
        public boolean validate(char c) {
            if(acceptedCharacters.indexOf(c)==-1)
                return false;
            else {
                return true;

  • Satellite P205 - hit ANY key on the keyboard opens the default browser

    Very strange problem with our Toshiba Satellite P205.
    Hit ANY key on the keyboard opens the default browser. For example, type a ten letter word ten browser windows opens. We have replaced the keyboard but the problem persists. Toshiba repair center suggested replacing the motherboard at $500 (which isn't on the cost of a new cell phone?).

    Works very well without any problem using an external keyboard.
    It came with Vista, but we installed XP with the same results. Also tried upgrading the Bios.

    * Water was spilled on this computer laptop previously.*
    * It is out of EMCO.*

    Is there maybe a registry tweak that can block the default browser to open this way?
    Anyone has any ideas on this one?

    There is a 'hard' switch just above the keyboard that opens the browser. I guess the connectors or printed circuits are corroded or damaged somehow so that any input on the keyboard also triggers this hard switch.

    Possibly a hack software to disable or block the button "Open browser" would solve the problem. How to turn off or reassign these hard buttons?

    Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

    > Toshiba repair center suggested replacing the motherboard at $500 (which isn't on the cost of a new cell phone?).
    Looks like you need to replace the motherboard if you do not want to use the computer's internal keyboard correctly
    You said that the water was reversed on this laptop previously, I think that's the reason why this keyboard problem happened

    > Is it may be a registry tweak that can block the default browser to open this way?
    It s unclear not for me if something like this is not possible, but in my opinion has nothing to do with the software (register), but with the hardware problem caused by spilled water
    You could try to reinstall the clean Windows operating system in order to check if this will help you
    But if the new facility doesn't help then you should use the external keyboard because I doubt a replacement of the motherboard would be an option due to high costs.

  • How to change the default (Windows 7) painting 'Save as type' JPG (from PNG) format when recording using the * only * the keyboard?

    This is the 2nd time this same question, the 1st time that I was given an irrelevant answer which was not helpful at all. Please take the time to read and understand what I need to before you answer.

    I just need to learn how to change the default PNG to JPG, so every time I save a screenshot using (only) the keyboard, it will already be showing JPG as the "Save as type". I am sure that it requires an edit registry so just point me in the right direction and guide me on how to do it, that's all I need.

    To help you understand my dilemma, I take a lot of screenshots and Ctrl + V paste in Paint almost daily. Since my physical disability in my arms causing me pain and discomfort when I use the mouse, I avoid using the mouse I use the shortcuts as much as possible to help reduce the constant pain, I'm still in my right arm when using the mouse. I hope I have explained well enough details.

    If it's in the wrong place, please move to a better place.

    Thank you

    Lee

    I don't know of any registry value, but you can use the key sequence to "Save as jpg.

    ALT

    F

    V

    J

    The F key may be pressed simultaneously with the ALT key or after him.

    You can reduce the number of keys to just ALT plus a digital key by using the following, adapted from one method described HERE.   Setup is much easier with a mouse, but can be done using the keyboard only.  I showed you the controls and mouse shortcuts keyboard to add an icon "" Save as JPG"to the Quick Access toolbar.

    Open Paint

    Mouse Keyboard equivalent
    Click on the file Menu (upper-left) Press ALT + F to open the file Menu
    Hover mouse on ' Save as ' to open the list of file types Press V to view the list of file types
    Right click on JPG to open the context menu Use the TAB or down arrow key to select JPG and then press SHIFT + F10 to open the context menu
    Click "add to quick access toolbar. Press A to "add to the Quick Access toolbar.

    At this point, your installation is complete.

    With open Paint, press the ALT key .  This will display the keys associated with various actions.  In my case, "" Save as JPG"icon that has been added to the Quick Access toolbar was the fifth icon (after save, undo, redo and print).  So, to "Save as JPG," I would press ALT+5 (even once, you can press 5 either with or after you press the ALT key).

  • iMac, boots on the desk and then immediately crashes on the color wheel

    Thanks for taking a peek at my question.

    When I boot my iMac, everything starts up fine in the beginning - he's going right on the desktop, the mouse moves around and, if I'm quick, I can even click on 1 maybe 2 things until the computer completely locks the spinning wheel of death color.  I can still move the wheel on the screen with no latency, but I can't do anything in fact.  Typing on the keyboard does nothing, although the caps lock key will light up.  Boot in safe mode produces exactly the same results, except that it asks me to log in first.

    Something must be start I need to get rid of, although I not much to install on this computer and rarely changes (it is a demo machine that lives in a small computer lab that I managed, off-grid). I never had any problems with it, then one day, this problem started.  Maybe I ran an update of the OS and that caused his crash?

    I am very familiar with troubleshooting a Windows computer, but Mac does not really offer many intuitive troubleshooting options, IMO.  This seems to be a fairly simple matter to reslolve, but my research online have not produced results - people seem to suggest the safe mode and command line solutions, but safe mode doesn't change anything and I can obviously not open a command line to type anything.

    The iMac was bought to 2010 and I'm 99% sure there Yosemite installed, but unfortunately I have no way to be able to check at the moment.

    Any help welcome, thanks!

    Any tips?

    If you have a wired USB, keyboard, it work properly? If the Bluetooth driver has been updated correctly, it can cause problems in matching.

    Can you also check Windows update history and see what drivers are updated?

  • Pages - iOS. How to get the keyboard to appear?

    Hello

    I need on a regular basis to fill out a form. Rather than write every time that I wanted to type it. I have reproduced the form on my iMac (office) using tables for simple data entry. So I decided it would be easier to use my iPad for entry, so I imported the file into the iPad and opened it with Pages. The problem I have is that the file opens ok and I can click in the tables, I can't get the keyboard to appear. What is the round to do?

    Thank you

    I got it. I need to double tap in a cell so that the keyboard will appear.
