1st Typed Key/Letter/Number Doesn't Show Up..

Hi,
I have a new and 100% up to date 15" PB. I don't recall if this was happening before the 10.4.4 update but beleive it was and now is just getting to me.
What's happening is when entering text in a search type box the 1st type charecter doesn show. So If I type "Apple" it comes out "pple"..Get it?
Usually it will be like this: I'll already have text entered in the box and highlight it and begin typing. Sometimes I'll clear it out with a delete but same thing. This happens about 1 out of 20 times I go to enter text. Always and only the 1st charecter.
If I conciously type a bit harder it never happens which would lead me to beleive it's me..but I've never had this problem with any keybords before.
I notice this mostly in Safari. Never in a text editting software or say Fireworks or Photoshop when entering text.
The 2nd charecter ALWAYS shows up.
I have adjusted the keyboard preferences several times with no cure.
Whaddya think?
Warren

Hi Warren,
You're not alone. Take a look at this thread. Updating my posted comment I've found this issue has reoccurred intermittently since updating to 10.4.4.

  • Settings - phone - my number doesn't show up

    My phone number doesn't show up in phone settings?
    and on other iPhones it works.
    Is there something to turn it on?

    I have no idea what that means, unless you're talking about synch with iTunes, and that's not something we have done or will do. I bought these as presents because we can't keep our business cells on over the weekend or in the evenings without customers, reps and various suppliers calling us repeatedly. These iphones are for our use only and the numbers will NEVER be given to anyone else, ever.
    These are stock, new iPhones, slated for Christmas stockings, and they will probably never have email on them, never surf the net, and the only contacts will be our two numbers. They are strictly set up so she & I can finally talk & text each other, bypassing our corporate phones which do not allow texting.
    I had the Apple Store set these up, and neither phone knows what it's number is. How does this happen? Even the worst free cell phones know what their numbers are!

  • SMS Verified number doesn't show

    When I use SMS, my verified number doesn't show up on the phone I'm messaging. It shows 75973.

    I have the same problem.  The receipients not see my verified SMS number. Instead, they see another mobile number that I am not associated with.  To make things worse - some of my receipients tried to reply to those numbers... and of course - I did not get their responses.
    I attempted to experiment with this feature (bye sending an SMS to myself) and it looks like sometimes this feature works, leading to a conclusion that the next time everything will be OK.  Nope!

  • IPod Touch Doesn't Show Up In My Computer Removable Hard Drive

    So, unlike my 1st Gen Nano, my IPT doesn't show up as a removable hard drive. How do I fix that?

    Sure you can, a portable device for music, videos, podcasts, etc.
    Sorry, no you cannot use it like some of the previous iPods have been able to be recognized as mass storage devices.

  • My caller id is not working on iphone 5 - it beeps but doesn't show who is calling or let me click over

    I have recently had my iphone 5 not show who is calling on call waiting.  The phone beeps but doesn't show the number / per son that is calling, won't let me click over and won't show who it was in my call history.  Help very annoying.

    1st go into your settings then tap phone to see if call waiting is turned on or off. If call waiting isOFF turn it ON. You can use also Apple article HT 4515. I would contact my wireless carrier reguarding the caller id not showing up and also with help reguarding your call waiting as well
    Hope this helps

  • HT203167 A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps.  Where is it and how do I find it?  I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV.

    A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps.  Where is it and how do I find it?  I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV...other movies show up. Help.

    It was Love Actually. It's been in my library a few years but is now missing. It's odd...it isn't even in the iTunes Store anymore. I think there is a rights issue because a message appeared in the store saying it wasn't available at this time in the U. S. store. Still, if I bought it years ago it should be in my library or I should get a refund....

  • Cannot generate a Key. Manage Account menu doesn't show up even after following Help articles. Correct username, e-mail and password. I already have a Firefox Sync Account but cannot Add a Device. No way to Sync due to no Key.

    I cannot generate a Key to Sync between two computers. Manage Account menu doesn't show under Options > Sync > Firefox Sync Setup > I already have a Firefox Sync Account > I don't have the Device with me. No Sync Key no matter how hard I tried.

    Yes I did. '''''I solved this issue last night.''''' First I had to Clear My Sync Data, then Yes I Already Have a Sync Account [enter User, Password] and only then the Key appeared in its proper field. Went to the 2nd computer and wrote down the Key after I Already Have a Sync Account. The bottleneck was to enter into Mozilla server after resetting pass and user, and then, clear data.

  • HT2589 What if I have an iPhone and its sends/recieves messages with our apple id which is my moms email? How do I fix that so that when I text my friends it doesn't show up with my moms email but my number?

    Hi lfeddrix,
    You can send and receive Messages from the Apple IDs and phone numbers signed in to your iMessage section in the settings of your phone. We have an article that explains a little bit about this, and it can be found here:
    iOS: Using Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
    This section is the most appropriate for your situation:
    You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from:. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
    iMessage responses will be sent from the address the recipient most recently messaged. For example, a friend sends you a message to your Apple ID. Responses in this conversation will be sent from your Apple ID, even if you've selected new conversations to start from your phone number.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • 1st generation ATV doesn't show as a device in iTunes?

    My 1st gerneration apple tv will not show up in itunes. I have gone into my prefrences to try to select it there, but it doesn't show up. I have checked my firewall as well, it is turned off. My ATV is connected to the same network as my macbook. I can view movie trailer and youtube on the ATV, so it is not a network problem. Is there something else I can try?

    Quit iTunes, restart the iPad and reboot your Mac and then try again.
    Then look here for additional help if that doesn't work.

  • I have iwork on two computers, but my account doesn't show record of it for my being able to reinstall on the new computer.  Is there a time limit?  I tried airdrop, but it won't let me use it.

    I have iwork on two computers, but my account doesn't show record of it for my being able to reinstall on the new computer.  Is there a time limit?  I tried airdrop, but it won't let me use it.

    Sounds like you installed iWork from before there was the Mac App Store.
    If you installed it from a Family DVD you are entitled to install that on 5 computers and can do that from the DVD.
    If not then you need to purchase it from the M.A.S. and will be able to install it on any of your computers using the same Apple I.D. However Apple is promising a new version before Christmas so it may not be a good time to buy now.

  • My music is in alphabetical order but doesn't show the letter headings or the letters on the side. Can anyone help?

    I just synced my Iphone to my new computer and added new music but the music doesn't show up like it used to. It doesn't have the letter headings or the letters going down the side. I have 21 songs right now and they are in alphabetical order but are shown like a playlist rather than a library.

    You do not have enough music to display the letters on the side. The phone needs more music for it to determine you need help going through the alphabet. I saw it written somewhere some time ago, and it does the same thing for Contacts. I believe it takes somewhere between 50-100 entries before it will display that letter side on the right side.

  • Windows disk doesn't show up in Startup Disk -- only on reboot w/option key

    Greetings,
    I installed Windows XP on a separate SATA drive, and all is well with it. But it doesn't show up as an option in Startup Disk. The only way I can boot from it is to Restart and hold the option key down. Its icon DOES show up in the "choose disk" screen that follows.
    Another user posted the same problem here, and someone suggested zapping the PRAM. I did this, allowing it to cycle through four times, but it didn't help.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks,

  • IPod 1st Generation (2001) doesn't show up on computer

    I have an iPod M8541 1st Generation clickwheel, Firewire400. It is working fine, but I haven't updated the music on it for years - and now it doesn't show up anymore.
    First it doesn't show up in the Finder, and is not being found by Disk Utility. When I connect it via another Firewire device it shows up in the Finder, but not in iTunes.
    I tried to find an update that can be done without iTunes, and downloaded iPodUpdater2006-01-10, but when I ran the installer it said it was already installed.
    Downloaded iTunes 6.0.5, but this one can't open because my iTunes-Library is too new. I could trash my Library and re-install an old iTunes, but I'd be very thankful for any suggestions before doing that...
    Thank you!

    Thanks for the kudos - I love this pod! Not too cool for old school
    Unfortunately my MacBook Pro doesn't have Firewire400, only 800, while the iPods only outlet is a 400. (Are there cross cables?)
    So I can't try it on another Computer, but I did try different FW-cables on my iMac Intel DuoCore with Mac OSX 10.6.8.
    The Pod is fully charged.
    The other FW-device was a 20GB LaCie Pocket-Drive, and I've also tried it now on a LaCie d2 Quadra with external power, which has both FW-plugs. It does show on the desktop and in Disk Utility, but not in iTunes.
    I just sold my old iBook, could have tried there.
