Keyboard inaccurate after a sentance or two

I have had a problem with my keyboard since 2 updates ago. Any typing app after 1-2 sentences the typing doesn't register. It will register a letter 2 spaces to the left. I am unable to type P, L, or M as they are on the right side of the keyboard. If I type the gibberish after 1-2 more sentences it fixes itself. But will act up again in a few more...
I have : 1. Rebooted - pressing home and power button until Apple logo appears. 2. Restored phone to previous backup, and finally ... 3. Restored to new (losing all games scores)
Question is .... am I doomed to going to the store? Or has someone had a similar experience ?
Help please... it has been months I've been dealing with this. And other friends have had similar experiences after recent updates...

I've been having the same problem for months and am on here looking for advice too ... I find that (for me) the inaccurate typing problem always starts after I've switched keyboards to the Emoji keyboard, typed an emoji or two, and switched back to the English keyboard. Then, 80% of the time, the typing will be off by several keys up and/or to the left, and the only way to get it to type properly will be to quickly switch back and forth between the different keyboards (using the international keyboard key) a few times. But, I can't seem to figure out a way to not have it happen in the first place

    Cannot find backslash (\) on German keyboard anymore after upgrading to OS 10.6 from OS 10.5. It used to be at Alt-ß. Anyone can help please ?

    Never mind. Found it in an old post. It is mapped at Shift-Alt-7, really weird.

  • Keyboard issues after upgrading to Leopard

    Seems there's been quite a bit of discussion about this topic already but it's been confined to laptops and I haven't seen a solution yet. I'm seeing the same problems on a desktop computer using either a wireless or USB keyboard.
    After upgrading to Leopard, my keyboard would occasionally stop responding to keystrokes. I have seen this happen on both an Apple USB keyboard and my Logitech wireless keyboard. With either keyboard, the letter and number keys would stop responding but keys like the CapsLock and Delete keys would still work. I have seen this happen when using Mac Office 2004 (Excel and Word) and Safari. With Excel, when the keyboard stops responding, if I click on a different cell, the keyboard comes back. I did update to 10.5.2 and I do have the latest version of the Logitech software but the problems still persist.
    Strangely, I have only seen this happen on my MacPro but NOT my MacBook. There is a difference on how each machine was upgraded to Leopard though. On my MacBook, I did a clean install of Leopard on a new hard drive and then migrated my docs and apps from the old drive. On my Mac Pro, I did an upgrade installation over Tiger. Fortunately, I cloned my hard drive prior to installing Leopard so going back is an option and so is doing a clean install followed by a migration which is what I did on my MacBook.
    Is there a fix for the keyboard problems? Am I going to have to downgrade back to Tiger?

    Thanks for posting this. I thought I was alone in the universe. I have the problem with my mini, which came with Leopard installed. The USB keyboard will stop working in Word or Entourage ('04) and I have to close and reopen the document to get the keyboard going again. Thankfully, my mouse still works when this happens, so I can use it to close and save.
    It seems to sometimes be triggered when I switch between applications, but I haven't been able to replicate it consistently. It is particularly bad when using find in Word. The find window will go dead and I have to close it and reopen it to do another search. (Though interestingly, I don't have to close the Word doc.)
    It's irritating.

  • How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

    How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
    After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
    Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

    Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for.  Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
    Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
    When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
    So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
    *UPDATE  (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
    Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
    Have a blessed day.

  • After a day or two I can no longer conect to a known WiFi network

    After a day or two I can no longer connect to a known WiFi network without rebooting the router. The same thing happens with both routers I have (SMC and a Verizon) and when using a shared connection from my MacMini. This happens with each of FOUR iPhones I've owned and my iPod touch. So... yeah. I'm guessing this is either a software issue or some really odd signals are in the are in my area of New Jersey.
    Anyone else having similar issues?

  • I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

    Well
    I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem.  Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol.  Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
    This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too.

  • Is there a way to prevent ibooks author from shutting down after just one or two uses of the alpha tool?

    Is there a way to prevent ibooks author from shutting down after just one or two uses of the alpha tool?

    Hello One Job at a time,
    Deleting the application will not delete your projects.
    Normally I keep all my work files on a separate drive.
    If you command click on the title name of your project you will get a drop down path to show you the location of your book project.
    or you can click on the drop down triangle beside its name to duplicate.
    Just remember where you saved the file too.
    In your applications folder on your computer select the iBA icon and press delete and also erase / empty the trash can.
    You can then go back to the APP STORE and install iBA from new again.
    I hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Nigel

  • Trigger a process chain(PC) after successfull completion of two other PCs

    Hi All,
    My requirement is to trigger a Process Chain only after successfull completion of two other process chain which are already scheduled to run at different times.
    Please tell me how to achieve this into SAP-BW 3.5
    Thanks
    Jharna

    Hi
    It is very simple, I'm doing the same.
    Insert Remote Process Chain at the end of the actual process chain and call the other process chain, here you need to give source , destination and process chain name in Remote process chain.
    try it, it will work.
    Thanks

  • I have a 2007 MacBookPro. Ever since I installed Mountain Lion, I intermittently lose the keyboard backlight after the computer sits idol all night. A reboot resolves the problem.

    I lose the keyboard lighting after the computer sits idol all night. This began with the Mountain Lion installation. A reboot resolves it.

    I reset the SMC and it looks fine. I'm not sure if it resolved it, as this problem didn't reoccur every morning. I'll have to wait a few days to know for sure. Thanks for your advice.

  • I have always been able to open e-mail photo attachments even after trnsferring them to the desktop or a thumbdrive, but after moving the last two

    I have always been able to open e-mail photo attachments even after transferring them to the desktop or a thumbdrive, but after moving the last two to the desktop and trying to open them I get the message that ColorSync is unable to open files of this type. I believe they are jpegs.

    When I attach a PDF to Apple Mail on Mountain Lion, it is an icon. When I send it to an iCloud mail destination, the attachment arrives and is presented as an icon, whether on OS X, or in IOS 6.
    I suspect that the recipient's mail user agent is responsible for the full image .vs. icon behavior, and there is nothing you can do to prevent it.

  • Why does the keyboard on my iPad split into two sides

    Why does the keyboard on my iPad split into two sides?

    To elaborate a little more Nick, that is a feature designed to make it easier to type when holding the iPad with both hands.
    If you tap the icon in the lower right of the keyboard, you will see the option to Merge the keyboard back together. If you hold the icon and drag your finger up and down, you will move the keyboard.
    Hope that helps!
