Missing first letters in address line and google box

Hi all, strange issue, lets say I wake the PB from screensaver or I bring the window to the front, click on the google search or in the address line, I find myself having to type wwww for www, in order to register just 3 w's, confusing I know but tried to make it simple, for google search it is ignoring my first key press as well, very annoying, this issue is appearing all the time, any ideas?

This is a shot in the dark, but is your computer doing anything CPU intensive in the Activity Monitor (/Applications/Utilities)? If it is, you might want to quit that offending process if possible.
My reason for saying this is because if your computer is crunching away some task and you tell it to switch to something you want to do, it might take a minute to say "Hey! The user wants our attention in this application and he's already typing..." so the keyboard buffer tries to catch up and doesn't. Unlikely, but possible, I guess.

  • I used to be able to type my search string in the Address Line and Google sdearch produced results. Aftrer my last firefox update, it turned into BING. I HATE Bing. I want Google back. How do I change this back to google or other search engine????

    (The details are in the question already)

    Hi suseadoodle,
    Sites like Bing, Yahoo, MSN, etc have been known to do things like this. Luckily it is an easy fix. Just take a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Location%20bar%20search?s=address+bar&r=1&as=s#w_changing-the-internet-keyword-service this Knowledge Base article on keyword search].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Adobe Reader X locks address bar and search box in Firefox

    Hi all,
    I've been using Adobe Reader X in Firefox 3.16 and I've just noticed an interesting "feature".
    When reading a pdf from the web, Adobe Reader locks the address bar and search box so you cannot type a new address or search using the google search box. It just won't let you enter any text. Even on opening a new blank tab. Has anyone else come accross this and is there a fix? Cheers.

    Oh it was a problem with Adobe's Plug-in. As per [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/804580#answer-167069 MrKoffee's answer ], I noticed that I already had Adobe Reader X installed but nevertheless I went to adobe.com to download it again. When I installed it this time, it said "installing updated patch". Went back to Firefox to check and problem solved! :)
    Ps. did not need to disable any previous plug-in or even close Firefox.

  • Good workflow to avoid white lines and discolored boxes with transperancy?

    I'm somewhat new to Illustrator.  I have designs in illustrator CS4 that contain objects with drop shadows that are on top of gradient backgrounds.  When I save out the artwork as a PDF file I see random faint white lines and discolored boxes around the objects with the drop shadows.  When I print proofs of the file on my HP3500 color laser printer I see the white lines and discolored boxes as well.  I'm afraid the the lines will show up in production when I send off to the printer. Here's what I'm doing.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    (Document Raster Effects Settings: Resolution-High 300ppi/Background: Transperant/Options: preserve spot colors, add 12.7mm around object)
    1. Save file as PDF from Illustrator CS4
    2. PDF Settings
         a. PDF Preset: PDF /xa:2001
         b. Advanced Overprint and Transperancy flatener options: Preset-High Resolution
    When viewed and printed from Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro there are white stiching lines that are visible.
    Do I need to worry about these? Or will they go away when sent to a better printer?
    Thanks for the help.

    Try "Press Quality" Acrobat 5 compatable setting for "live" transparency.  You can also try PDF/X-4 2008 which maintains live transparency and, in CS4, maintain Acrobat 5 compatability.  PDF-X1 is a setting that "flattens" transparency which may limit your output options, depending on final output device.  Double check your raster settings and make sure it is set for 300ppi/2400dpi and not 72ppi/300dpi.  As suggested by Wade, your printer may not be a Postscript Level 3 output device with a RIP.  So, the driver may not be screening the artwork properly and the stitching shows up in output.  You may benefit from taking the file to a prepress shop and have them output a "contract" proof.  If the stitching shows up in the contract proof, then the PDF setup may be the problem or the original file itself.

  • 2nd Laptop causing Syncing Problem between iPhone, Address Book, and Google

    I sync my iPhone with my Macbook Pro at home, which allows me to sync my Address Book with Google. However, since buying a Macbook Air and syncing everything via MobileMe, I no longer can sync with Google. I think I could solve this problem with syncing my iPhone with my Macbook Air, but I don't want to (all my media is on the Pro).
    Since Address Book isn't allowing my to sync with Google, several problems have manifested:
    • iChat no longer shows any of my friends (if I try to manually add them they simply show as "off-line" even when they're not).
    • Google Chat no longer shows any of my friends
    AIM still works fine in iChat, so this is definitely a Google-Address Book problem.

    Never received help, so I gave up.

  • Address line and Search engines not working after download

    I reloaded Firefox 20.0 this a.m. I have no functional use of the address line nor do I have use of the Search box. No search engines drop down and when I go into Manage Search, nothing can be activated. All of the .xml files for the search engines are available in the Searchplugins file.
    Any suggestions?

    Try to delete the search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
    Try to open a new window (Firefox > New Tab > New Window) to see if that window works.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
    *Firefox menu button > Options
    *View > Toolbars (press F10 to display a hidden menu bar)
    Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
    *Firefox menu button > Options
    *View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
    *Right-click empty toolbar area
    *check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

  • Numbers/Address Book and Google Maps

    I would love to integrate my spreadsheet of addresses or my Address Book with Google Maps.
    Is this possible? Somehow?
    I take a lot of trips across the country and don't always know when I will be driving by my friends. But if I had a map I could glance at to see where they all are, I would know that I could schedule a lunch with a friend halfway or something like that.
    I have heard about MapPoint, but don't know if there is anything like this that is free/affordable/non-MS.
    Thanks!

    Integrating in Numbers would not be automatic. You'd have to format links to assign to each address.
    I've seen plug-ins to use Google maps with Address Book. Try a search on MacUpdate or VersionTracker for Address Book.
    I think one of the features for Address Book in Leopard is integration with Google maps.

  • Address book and google syncing

    I would like to sync my google contacts with address book. I have gone into the preferences of address book and set it to "Synchronise with google" and entered my info. It will pull the email address', however that is all that it will pull. The names and other contact information does not come over. So basically in google contacts it says Joh Smith [email protected] When it syncs over to address book all that I see listed is [email protected] I can of course edit it and put in the user's name but then what is the point of synchronising? If anyone has any insight into this, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thank you,
    Kris

    Huh. Apparently I have to have my iPhone connected, then it will sync everything including the Google contacts. Funny that it wouldn't sync without it.
    So I guess the moral of the story is to make sure that everything is connected and if you have an iPod/iPhone, initialize the sync through iTunes. Bizzare.
    Now to go through and the duplicates...

  • Address Book and Google Contacts syncronization

    I am trying to sync my Address Book and my Google Contacts with each other. I followed the guide on Google to import contacts using the application "A to G" but that doesn't include photos, which are a big part of why I wanted to do it.
    I have in the past synced my address book with my facebook so that has a photo for each of my friends (their profile pics at the time) and since I have deleted my facebook account for privacy reasons.
    I just tried to export a single contact in either 2.1 or 3.0 format, and neither imported correctly.
    On looking it up online, I see one version had an option to sync with Google dynamically, but I don't see it in the preferences area - there is an option for Exchange, Yahoo, MobileMe but no Google - also I don't know if that will work with my Google Apps so cleanly.

    Now I'm no longer using the address book application, so answering this question would be pointless.

  • Address Book and Google Contacts...?

    What's the story with syncing Address Book with Google Contacts?
    I set it up once, but since then it has not been able to syncronise changes made to either AB or GC (nb. even after clicking the sync button).
    Is there a trick to maintaining syncronisation???

    Now I'm no longer using the address book application, so answering this question would be pointless.

  • Syncing only Address Book and Google Contacts - nothing happens?

    I've been trying to set up Address Book/iSync to sync my contacts between Google Contacts and Address Book. I have the Google account information configured correctly in Address Book Preferences -> Synchronize with Google Account but when I go over to iSync and hit "Sync Now" as the instructions tell me to, nothing seems to happen. That is, the sync icon spins for a couple of seconds and then stops, but no changes have been made to either set of contacts.
    Have I missed a setting somewhere? I used to have a palm device configured, but I deleted it because I got an iPhone - could something be screwball because of that?

  • Misses first letters when typing?

    im not sure if its just me getting used to the new keyboard on my macbook, but ive had it a few days now and a lot of the time it misses the first few letters i type.
    is this normal or is it me being daft?

    Could be just getting used to the keyboard. I have to press harder than my old powerbook but I like the MacBook keyboard since I got used to it. The feel is much better.

  • Sync between address book and google

    I have been driving myself nuts all day with this. Here's the scenario:
    a) I do not use mobile me.
    b) I have my address book on the mac setup to sync with google contacts (10.6)
    after it is initially setup:
    1) if I add a new contact to my google contacts -- it shows up on my mac address book
    2) if I add a new contact in my mac address book -- it NEVER shows up on google contacts
    3) if I change a contact in my mac address book -- it NEVER shows up on google contacts
    This is driving me nuts.
    Any suggestions?

    First, on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), only contacts in the My Contacts group in Gmail are synced. Second, groups are not synced to Gmail. Third, contact Sync can't sync a contact with Gmail if another contact has the same email address. If an Address Book or iPhone contact contains an email address already present in a different Gmail contact, this contact will not be synced.
    Any of the above apply to you?

  • Address Book and Google

    Hey,
    I have just set up address book syncing with google, and then set up google to sync my contact to my iPhone,
    When i make a change to a contact on google it pushes this straight away (and the other way) which is perfect, but when I plug my iPhone in and hit sync the latest information on google doesn't seem to sync with my address book.
    I have checked to see if every thing is set up right, and it seems to be but every isn't fully synced. Is there any way to get it to sync two ways.
    I would really like every thing to be synced but i don't want to go over to mobile me as it costs so much and I can't get on me.com at work (stuck with IE 5 at work).
    Any help would be good on this contact thing would be grate.
    Jay

    If you correctly setup Google Sync to your iPhone then you shouldn't need to plug in your phone. In fact, plugging in your phone wouldn't sync anything because you have it set up to wirelessly sync. So, I'd redo your iPhone sync setup:

    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    No application crashed for me but the sync stopped working and I got the same error message when I added an "Instant Messaging" attribute of type "Skype" to one of my Google contacts. It synced again when I removed it.
