Blue symbols and letters are appearing above text

When typing, my computer is slowing down sometimes and blue symbols (numbers, letters, and images) are appearing above along with a list of numbers. This is happening directly above whatever I'm typing. Very annoying on 2 levels. What is showing up on my screen is behind what I'm actually typing and it slows everything down. Attached is an screen shot of this happening as I was typing the title to this post (fortunately I was able to catch it with a screenshot).

From the menu bar, select  ▹ System Preferences ▹ Keyboard ▹ Keyboard. Move the slider labeled Delay Until Repeat to the left.

    Hi gretchenm66156293,
    Are you running into this issue with one PDF in particular, or with any PDF that you open? Did the PDF display correctly previously? How was that PDF created?
    For starters, please choose File > Properties and click the Fonts tab. What fonts are used in the PDF? Are they "embedded" or "subsetted."
    I would be happy to take a look at the PDF here, if you'd like. Let me know!

  • Difference between Field symbols and work area for Internal tables

    Hi,
    In ECC versions we all know that we need to declare the internal tables without headerline, and for handling the internal tables we need to use exclusive work areas.
    Currently i have an issue that we have been asked to use field symbols instead of work areas...can any one help me how to use the field symbols and also let me know how it will improve the performance of the program..
    Thanks and Regards,
    Kathir

    Hi
    DATA: WA TYPE ITAB.
    LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
    IF WA-FIELD = .....
    ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.[(code]
    FIELD-SYMBOLS <WA> TYPE ANY.
    LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <WA>.
    ENDLOOP.
    Now the problem is you can't know the name of the fields of the table at runtime, so you can't write:
    IF <WA>-FIELD = .....
    ENDIF.
    Anyway you can create a field-symbols strcturated like the table:
    [code]FIELD-SYMBOLS <WA> TYPE ITAB.
    LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <WA>.
      IF <WA>-FIELD = .....
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    I don't know which are the differences for the performance between to use a field-symbol and to use a structure as work-area.
    The differnce between the field-symbols and work-area is the field-symbol is assigned directly to the record, so u don't need to do a MODIFY statament to change something:
    LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
      WA-FIELD =
      MODIFY ITAB FROM WA.
    ENDLOOP.
    LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <WA>.
      <WA>-FIELD =
    ENDLOOP.
    These two pieces of abap code do the same action, so probably the field-symbol improve the performance because it do an access directly to the record without to use an external structure as workarea.

  • Can anyone explain to me why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?

    I want to delete photos from camera roll on my iPhone to clear space to install ios7 but after importing photos to iPhoto on my macbook pro only 4 out of 339 photos taken in September landed in events, though all 339 are in Sept photo stream. It seems like on previous uploads all photos "fell" into events according to the day they were taken, as well as into photostream. I want to make sure these photos stick around permanently and do not exist only in photo stream where I imagine they will eventually be bumped from my computer (photostream). Can anyone explain why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?

    You have uploaded two different things - pHotos are in one and only one event - if you have the same photo in two different events then you have imported it twice
    Please explain what you want - your initial question and yoru current comments are 180 degrees apart
    You say they are not all in events
    Can anyone explain to me why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?
    Now you say they are
    All 15 pics appear in  Sept 2013 PS
    It sound to me like you have no problem except you imported some photos twice adn you may not understand how the automatic import form PS works - but that is not clear
    you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, to select Photo Stream > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
    The event they are imported into is MMMM YYYY PS
    If you import via iTunes sync or by connecting your IOS device via USB then they are importeed into the regular event structrue as defined in your iphoto preferences - and if you imoport via two or more different methods you will ahe duplicates

  • I just downloaded a new software update to my ipod touch and now my ipod is frozen with a screen picture of music round blue symbol and an arrow displaying a cable connection. I received a message saying that the download was not successful.

    I just downloaded a new software update to my ipod touch and now the ipod and screen are frozen. I received a message that the download was not successful and now my screen is showing the blue round itunes symbol with an arrow pointing to the symbol and shows a cable below it. I have tried the restart of pushing the two buttons together and waiting 10 seconds for the apple symbol which appears and then go backs to the same stuck symbol. My computer is not recognizing the ipod either and will not connect. What needs to be done?  Thanks.

    Try manually placin the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.
    Next try DFU mode and restore

  • When i open my computer I get the white screen with apple symbol and there are vertical lines all over the screen with green pixels and after a few minutes the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer what happens

    3 years ago I bought an IMac Desktop that I am using for a lot of things but the most important for dvd montage in Imovies and Idvd.
    Now today when I opened my computer I get as usual the white screen with the Apple symbol but there were all over the screen vertical lines with green pixels and after a while the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer using the power button or the restart button and when I do so each time the same is happening somebody can tell me what is happening and what caused this. This computer is my work and now I have no income anymore.
    On the Apple support site they are asking to enter the serial number and when I do so I get message it is wrong but it is the only one I have and I buy this computer in Cairo Egypt. I am living in Hurghada in Egypt for the moment. When I call the technical support of the shop where I buy it they are telling me that it is the hard disk or ram and that I probably lost everything on it and they are asking a big amount to repair.
    Can somebody advise me on this matter. Thanks in advance

    You can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
    If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive. 
    You can also boot into Safe mode
    To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
       1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
       2. Press the power button.
       3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
          Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
       4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
    During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
    Please post back with results,
    To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

  • Browser entry in forms slow and letters are substituted (e.g. "a" becomes "c"; "s" becomes "i"). Just started recently.

    In entering data into forms in browsers (either Firefox (29.0.1) or IE (11.0.9600.17107) two letters are being substituted for. “a” enters as “c” and “s” enters as “I” This is NOT a problem with any of the applications (e.g. Word or Excel) so I don’t think it is a keyboard problem. As far as I can tell all other letter and symbols enter correctly. I have noticed that entry into form fields stops or slows down before it continues. So entry is no longer smooth. I am hoping this is not some form of malware. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have had to enter this whole description in Word and paste into the submittal form because of the substitution problem. This is a new issue noticed sometime in the last week or two.

    You said this is on your browsers, but no where else?
    It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
    Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
    there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
    '''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''
    '''(Mac: Open the "Applications" folder)'''
    Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
    know what they are.

  • Both my wife and I are receiving her texts

    I recently upgraded my wifes iphone 4S to a 5S.  Everything is working well except both of us are receiving her text message.  If I send her one from my iphone 4S, It will go to her, but it will also go to me.  I know it's some setting one of us has wrong...HELP!

    This will occur if you are both sharing apple id's.
    Go to settings - message - send&receive - remove or uncheck the apple id's.  You may need to do this on both devices.

  • Received emails from Verizon - Pictures do not show correctly and strange characters appear in text

    When I receive emails from Verizon users, embedded images do not display inline.  Each image(s) instead is displayed as a empty box with the red X boxed at the upper left.  The images are correctly displayed at the very end of the email.
    Additionally, dotted capital A's appears frequently within the text as well as other extraneous characters and symbols.
    Do I have an incorrect setting in Live Mail (Outlook express displays the same) or is it something Verizon is doing?  All of my other emails from different providers display properly.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance which might be offered.

    I have the same problem rec eiving from a friend who uses verizon. I use aol and even opened it in Internet Exporer and the same thing happened. This is a programing glitch with verizon email. I get the text in the email but the white squares with an x and no image. I have to downlod the images and open it as an attachment. The problem is you look at the image without the text which might be describing the image. Very inconvient. The person sending the emal has to enable the rich text option . I am still looking on how to do it on Verizon email but since I don't have it I am having trouble finding a solution.

  • HT4059 The last three books I have downloaded at the bottom of the page the bottom parts of y,g,and j are appearing at the top of the next page. Any help or suggestions  will be appreciated.

    This problem just started. On the last line of each page if the letters y,g,p or j appear in the line the bottom part of each of these letters appears at the top of the next page while being chopped off the actual line it should appear in.

    *Update*
    I thought I had found the offending 'app' namely "Songpop."
    I regularly use "Songpop" on my phone late at night via my wifi connection.
    All enteries on my phonebill are at midnight (even though I have a data allowance it was excluded from allowance). I switched 3G off on Friday, played "Songpop" at midnight and at the exact time I got a "Server Error" message.
    I posted a message on the "Songpop" support forum.At first they said this was a problem relating to my ISP.
    I have spoken to my ISP and asked if there are connection drops at the time I have been billed (ie to establish if my wifi dropped and 3G kicked in without my knowledge) and have been advised that there aren't any connection drops at that time.
    "Songpop" have now responded that "This is an issue to take up with Apple Support"  see: http://support.songpop.fm/songpop/topics/playing_songpop_on_phone_via_wifi_but_i ncurring_download_data_charges_for_3g_useage?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification
    Hopefully someone at Apple can respond ....

    If you're taking shots of just the moon then the exposure value won't change all that much day to day.  I recommend shooting in full manual, use the same settings that you used that gave you images you liked as a baseline.  Low iso, nice middle aperture, and adjust shutter speed to fine tune the exposure.  The next day you start at the same settings and adjust the shutter speed slightly if needed to account for a change in brightness.  Good luck, have fun.

  • Ipad mini the letters dont appear above fingers when typing

    I was told by apple after i noticed it, that the letters don't pop up above your fingers when typing as they do on the iphone and the regular ipad. Is this true or is there something wrong with my settings/mini? IOS 8.1.3

    The letters don't pop up on the iPad.

  • White Screen With Apple Symbol and Turning Gear Appears At Startup

    I downloaded the most recent software update with Mac OS X 10.5.4, a security update, and some sort of Safari update (not so sure). After I restarted the computer after the update, everything was okay. A few minutes later, I decided to restart it while troubleshooting for a wireless internet problem in the house. As normal I heard the tone and saw the white screen with the Apple symbol on it and the turing gear, but my Mac did not log in and the gear kept on turning for about half an hour. Now, every time I hold down the power button in an attempt to fix it, it always does the same thing. I tried pressing different key combinations at the startup and the process in which I disconnected the AC adapter, took out the battery, held down the power button for 5 seconds, put the battery back in, and connected the AC adapter, and that didn't even work.

    What a worse coincidence with out the 10.5.4 upgrade though. Exact same problem. Tried booting into single user mode No shell/command prompt, boot with Leopard DVD. DVD got stuck.
    Was so ****** off. Its 1 am in the east coast and I have all my work stuff on the MB
    Finally did the Zapping and it booted back. was sweating in a 65 F temperature. **** it.
    Now Should I run verify disk or not?? What kind of impact does verify disk has?
    It probably is disk intensive but it does not screw up right? Does it run fsck?
    *That said, the whole problem came up when I used a flash drive from a windows PC to copy some files to my mac. I have done that innumerable number of times. Why would it freak out now?*
