Keyboard lag while typing

I was wondering if anyone else experienced a lag in the on screen keyboard while typing in certain apps? I have an app that lets me text my friends but as I try to type I can type out a whole sentence or two before the words on appear on screen. Does anyone know why this happens or how I might fix it? In advance thank you for any and all help

I've had this happen a time or two on my iPad. Usually quitting the app and restarting it solves the problem.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it jiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

    Go to Settings>General>Keyboards>Predictive Text>ON. If it is on, you can toggle it off and then back on. The other method is to check in the typing area of the Messages app and it could be minimized. You would see a small line in the center just below the typing area. You would just need to put your finger on that small line and swipe upwards. But either should bring it back.

  • Keyboard lag when typing

    I don't know if this is a hardware, software or O/S problem. Every couple of days...more if I use Office more frequently...my computer stops registering keystrokes except at a truly glacial pace -- about one character every 2 or 3 seconds. Sometimes resynching the keyboard will help, but usually it takes a cold boot to reclaim my computer. Help!

    It's a Microsoft ergonomic wireless KB for Macintosh...model 1078. BTW...the problem also occurred with the Apple extended keyboard, only not as often. It really seems tied to Office use. The more I work with Word in particular, the more quickly the problem surfaces. By way of context, I use Firefox and Safari to browse, and I'm planning on upgrading RAM from 2GB to 3GB as soon as I get around to it (I understand that's the maximum supported in this model).

  • How do I hide the keyboard while typing an email?

    On the iPad you can hide the keyboard anytime while typing.  I cannot see a way to hide the keyboard when typing a mail message. I saw a post saying you close, save, go to your saved messaes and open the message again - too time consuming.  There is a fix on the jailbroken site, but I dont want to jailbreak the phone.  There must be a way to hide the keyboard in a mail messge.  In a text message you can.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Edit
    I CAN, but not fully for a preview, as the text box goes up completely after 80 odd characters on the iPhone.
    So, now i cannot see a previous message for reference.
    Apple needs to incorporate a  'hide keyboard' button

  • Keyboard: Duplicate keys while typing

    Hi evrbdy,
    I have a PB G4 1.5 with 2GB upgraded memory. I have a problem with the keyboard, eventought is not major, is annoying.
    While using the keyboard, sometimes while typing, the keys entered get duplicated, even that the keeyboard stroke was a single one. I.E. the keyboard word I just wrote, but in the application it comess as a double e. it happens with most of the keys and is an erratic behavior, sometimes happens sometimes not, ddepending on the computer mood.
    Any comment on this will be highly appreciated, since I couldn´t find any help like this on the net.
    Regardds.

    I am still relatively new to the Mac world- just got my Powerbook in August. I had high hopes for Apple's service when it came to getting my keyboard replaced due to this 9 key problem.
    I've had SEVERAL, make that TONS of problems with just about every other computer company getting service so when I called APple and spoke to a guy who actually spoke english as a first language, I knew this was going to go well.
    5 minutes into the conversation (thats 5, NOT 55) the service call was set up and I was all set and off the phone.
    THEN, I sent the computer out to Apple on Tuesday thinking that I'd get it back in a week or so and two days later its back at my door, all healed!
    Needless to say I am impressed. I have a renewed appreciation for my computer and the company that makes it.
    So long as Apple doesn't screw with their service and support system, I will not be switching back.

  • There is a lag in typing in the addressbar since FF4

    I'm using a plugin on my Mac called "Keyboard Maestro".
    How I use it:
    I have 2 Firefox windows open in one screen, side by side. I select an email address in window 1. I press the keyboard shortcut that activates keyboard Maestro.
    Maestro then copies the e-mail address, hits Command+` to switch to window 2 of Firefox. It then hits Command+T for a new tab, and types in a URL. Behind the URL it then hits Command+V to paste the e-mail address, and then hits enter.
    This allows me to select an e-mail address in window 1, do the keystroke, and immediately find this e-mail address on an admin page I use for work. (instead of copy, open website, paste, hit search).
    Now the bit where it's typing the address URL (needs to be a new tab) is lagging a lot since Firefox 4! In Firefox 3, the typing was blitzing fast.
    I tried the same keystroke in 2 windows of Safari: blitzing fast like Firefox 3.
    I then tried opening Firefox 4 again: slow again. I then experimented by typing really fast (just gibberish, but as fast as my fingers could move), and I noticed: Firefox4 address bar can not keep up with my typing speed. So there's the error.
    Typing the same speed in Safari and Firefox3? No problem, it keeps up.
    I have 2 add ons running, Xmarks 3.9.7 and Gmail Favicon Notifier 3.10.2
    I don't think it's my Mac, as the typing speed does not lag in Safari or Firefox 3.

    Hi,
    I had also a lag while typing in the addressbar (or the searchbar btw) in Firefox and spent quite some time trying to figure out why.
    I tried Firefox 5 beta, deleting the chronik, the cash etc...
    until I tried to deactivate my addons one by one.
    I have figured out that the addon "speed dial" was responsible for that lag.
    Since I have deactivated it, everything works pretty much instantly.
    Finally !
    Regards

  • Keyboard lag on imports

    Searched for this, but couldn't find anything.
    Anyone else experiencing keyboard lag when editing a document imported from MS Word 2007?
    Native Pages docs edit fine, no lag. But if I import a .doc or .docx file and edit it, there is extensive keyboard lag when typing. Anyone see this? Any solutions? Thanks!

    I have not seen it, but it sounds like there is some formatting in the Word doc that is difficult for Pages to resolve.
    The solution is probably to simplify the formatting. Step one is to make a backup of the doc. Step two and onwards is to simplify as much as can be simplified: highlight all text and change font. Remove text boxes. Highlight all text and set consistent margins.... Use your imagination.
    If none of that works, create a new Pages document and paste all the Word doc content into the Pages doc. That may clean up some hidden formatting that confuses Pages.

  • Lag in Typing in Yosemite's Mail w/ External Apple Keyboard

    Since upgrading to Yosemite I have been having a very annoying problem with delayed typing response in Mail when I have my external USB Apple keyboard (current model with numeric pad).  It is a sporadic issue.  Typing will be responsive, then there are 2-4 second delays in response.  I have only witnessed the issue with Mail and when using the external keyboard.  Problem does not occur in other programs or when using my MacBook Pro's built in keyboard.  Nor did the problem exist prior to upgrading to Yosemite.
    My equipment is a late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina.  When on my desk, I have it connected to a 23" Apple Display (original LCD), USB Apple Keyboard, Logitech cordless Trackman, and a Drobo firewire external drive. 
    Has anyone else witnessed this issue?  Or have an suggestions on correcting?
    Thank you in advance!

    I'll jump in here with a 'me too' post. I originally upgraded my Mid-2010 MacBook Pro from Mavs and noticed a very intermittent 2-5 second lag when typing in Mail. I haven't seen any typing delay in other apps.
    I have also reinstalled Yosemite from the Recovery partition and it didn't help.
    Has anyone spent enough time in Safe Boot (shift key at startup) to see if this text entry delay happens without any 3rd party software? I wonder if we all have some similar 3rd party utility which might be causing this.
    My old MacBook Pro does some really slow/janky video stuff while booted in Safe Mode in Yosemite - I assume Apple didn't include some video driver for my old hardware, so SUM isn't a very good test on my machine.
    Here's a list of a few third party extensions/software I'm running, in case there is a common thread across our machines:
    Keyboard Maestro (keyboard macros) 6.4.7
    Timbuktu (screen sharing) 8.8.5
    Snapz (screen capture) 2.5.4
    ClipMenu (multiple clipboards) 0.4.3
    1Password 5.0.1
    ClamXav 2.6.4 (with Sentry running set to monitor several folders)
    GFXCardStatus 2.3
    Dropbox 2.10.41
    CrashPlan 3.6.4
    Anyone with this problem running any of these utilities?

    Everywhere that I've checked it is not possible to do this. I would like to even do this using the vkb. I hate having to stretch my thumb all the way up just to send a message. It's messaging, not a report or email. Seems backwards. Hopefully some day Apple can add this option.

  • The sound goes off and on while typing on keyboard

    The sound goes off and on while typing on keyboard

    I would try to power cycle the device by holding the sleep/wake button till is says turn off. Maybe even reset by holding the sleep/wake and the home button at the same time. by chance if none of that works back up your device and restore it. Sounds like a software issue so that should fix it. You could always contact apple support aswell.

    My IPad freezes while typing emails. Touchscreen keyboard as well as Bluetooth keyboard. How do I fix this?

    It may certainly matter that the account is IMAP. Try the following variation of the procedure to re-create the index:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
    4. Move the “IMAP-” account folder to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all mail stored there to be lost.
    5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
    6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folder, that account may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring it back online.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • Mouse (and keyboard) lag! help?

    I did a clean install of ML a week ago. After a few days mouse lag began to become a serious issue. The cursor jitters instead of moving smoothly; it freezes until a large side-to-side movement wakes it up; it disappears entirely. A truly irritating situation and VERY bad for productivity.
    At first I blamed the wireless mouse (the latest model Apple mouse) and/or its battery charge. A fresh charge did no good. I'm now using a wired USB mouse and the problem remains. It's apparent in all software (at the moment nothing but Safari is running and the cursor just froze for more than a second). Oddly the scroll wheel on the USB mouse seems to work when everything else is dead.
    And.. while typing this, the keyboard went dead. The spacebar alone was ignored, then other keys. Then it woke up. Sheesh. What's going on?
    It's a 2010 Mini with 2GB ram. I have an 8GB upgrade on order. Will that make a difference to the mouse?

    Update: the mouse is actually losing connection to the mini from time to time. It's les than 2 feet from the computer and the battery charge is 100%. Prior to installing ML I never had any issues with bluetooth reception.
    (I shut off the bluetooth in my iPhone and iPad to prevent interference, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference).
    Am I the only person with this problem?
