Delay when typing in Safari, the first character is always missing.

Recently when I go to type in a address or text in the search window, the first first character is always gone. Resulting in me having to back space to the beginning to re-type the first character.
My father is a Mac user too and he experiences the same thing.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
The problem you described sounds reminiscent of a problem many MacBook, MacBook Pro and even PowerBook G4 users have been experiencing. If you do a Discussions-wide search for the phrase "first key" in quotation marks, you'll get an idea of how wide-spread the problem is. Apple recently released a firmware update for the MacBook and MacBook Pros, but reports of first-key-unrecognition persists.
While I hope your problem isn't of this variety, the point I'm trying to illustrate is that if it is, Apple has yet to pin down a proper fix for it. Until they do though, perhaps some workarounds you can try are banging on a modifier key before typing anything, or clicking twice to ensure focus has been given to a window element and not just the window.

  • Hi, when typing an email the font on the first line is different then the second, can you help fix this

    Hi, when typing an email the font on the first line is different then the second, can you help fix this

    I can offer suggestions, but I can not fix it.
    Press enter three or four times before you start typing and then move the cursor back to the start. What happens is your point of insertion gets outside your predefined font range, it is a know bug and that will help you "stay in the lines" Another option is type Rick, go back to the start and then type your message. Anything which keeps the insertion point from the very end of the email really.

  • The first character I type often ends up at the end of the word.

    It's been going on since at least Snow Leopard, I'm on a clean Lion install now. It happens relentleslly in Safari. When I type in a search or fill a form on a webpage - even something simple as google, the first character I type often ends up at the end of the first word I type. Sometimes it ends up in the middle. If anyone esle has even observed it, i'd like to hear just to confirm I'm not mad.

  • Getting zero to display as the first character

    I know this should be simple, but I'm trying to get a zero to display as the first character in a field when necessary.  For example last 4 of SSN.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    You can achieve this in the Patterns dialog. Select the object and go to the Object > Field palette. There you can click the Patterns button and edit the Display Pattern.
    For example, this would display a number without leading zeros: 12
    num{zzz9}
    Whereas if you use 9 it will display leading zeros: 0012
    num{9999}
    Hope that helps,
    Niall

  • Can not run the calc scripts by mxl, if the first character is Number

    I found that if you create the calc scrpt like 1abc.csc. You can not run it by mxl. I tried for times but do not know the reason for that. I found that you can use number in the name of the calc scripts(like abc1.csc, a1bc.csc), but not for the first character(like 1abc.csc).
    Below is my mxl scripts:
    ×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
    login admin identified by password on localhost;
    spool on to 'C:\abc.log' ;
    execute calculation sample.basic.1abc;
    spool off;
    logout;
    ×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
    I write a bat file below:
    ×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
    D:\Hyperion\AnalyticServices\bin\essmsh C:\abc.mxl
    ×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
    I can run the scripts if I change the name "1abc" to "abc1"or "a1bc".
    Of course I can run this calc in EAS, no matter the name is "1abc" or "abc1".
    Anybody find the same problem with me?

    I agree, if ever there was a "best practice" to developing scripts (especially when using variables) it is to enclose in single quotes. I actually use double quote, single quote.
    execute calculation "'$4'"."'$5'"."'$6'";

  • How to hide top hits, bookmarks & history drop down menu when typing in safari search bar?

    how do I hide top hits, bookmarks & history drop down menu when typing in safari search bar?

    Not completely.
    In Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Check both Do not preload top hits in the background & Prevent earch engine from providing suggestions.
    This will eliminate top hits and search engine suggestions.
    I am not sure about the rest.
    As far as History, I guess you could clear it and use Private Browsing.
    Bookmarks, I don't think there is anything you can do about that besides removing them.

  • TestStand database logging problem: only the first character is put in the table.

    I am using TestStand 2.0.1 and Microsoft SQL server database. There is a weird problem when I use database logging. At first, all the database logging ran good.
    Then one day after I moved the test equipment to production line, TestStand only logs the first character of each string field in the tables! There is no error message.
    I setup another SQL server running locally on the same machine as the TestStand is and move the database to the local server, database logging has no problem. Schemas in TestStand Dabasebase Options are the same.
    I tried to run TestStand from another computer on the network. There was no problem before, too.  But now, TestStand always shows a Run-time error message like this:
    Details:
    An exception occurred calling 'LogResults' in 'ITSDBLog' of 'DBLog 1.0 Type Library'
    An error occurred executing a statement.
    Schema: New.
    Statement: STEP_RESULT.
    Connection failureMultiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.
    Source: TSDBLog
    Error Code:
    -2147467259; User-defined error code.
    Location:
    Step 'Log Results to Database' of sequence 'Log To Database' in 'Database.seq'
    I have checked that the connection is good and also the table UUT_RESULT has been logged correctly.
    Anyone can help?
    Thanks.

    Thank you very much, Santiago.
    Yes, I have a customized schema, but it is based on the pre-existing schema. I tried the schema:TS 1.x Access/SQL (NI), which  came with TestStand, the results were the same. 
    I have tried to run different sequences. On one computer, I always get only the first character of each string entry logged in the remote database, however for the local server, everything is fine. On the other computer, there is no local SQL server, I always get similar error message as I mentioned in my post. The sequence step reports error is  "Log Results to Database".
    Any more suggestion?
    Thanks again.
    Best regards,
    Jaso

  • My iPhone rejects my passcode when I enter it the first and the second time

    My iPhone rejects my passcode when I enter it the first and the second time. Why?

    Is it random? Does it occasionally accept the passcode, or does the passcode seem to be changed?

  • I downloded iphoto 11 9.2 and when opened it for the first time and the program started to update my iPhoto library the file got corrupted. That has happened in the two macs I have (both of them rather new and updated to last Lion version 10.7.2).

    I downloaded Iphoto 11 9.2 from the apps store (was on iphoto '09 before version 8.x) and when opened it for the first time it tried to update my photo librery and ended up corupting it to the extreme that I had to get a backup from time capsule and downgrade my iphoto version. I spent yesterday 6 hours at the genius bar in an apple store and they were not able to provide me with any other solution. In the emantime, I have to forget about about photo streaming... Any idea, is this a bug that somebody knows how tp fix?

    In fairness, this isn't an issue in iPhoto 11 but one in your Library. Some file or other in there is damaged and that's what causes the crash during the upgrade.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • After upgrading the new operating system, it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select

    After upgrading the new operating system on my Droid Razr M it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select multiple message you have to delete them individually or the entire thread. Is there a way to get these back?

    Well, that's kind of embarrassing. And I honestly thought I paid attention to that... It works perfectly now, thank you so much!
    As expected, cdm-git also works fine since DMs only work in the root mode as of now.
    Just for the record, both type commands output "/usr/bin/startx" and pacman -Q gives "systemd 215-4".

  • SetCurrentRowWithKey return wrong key when range is not the first

    I have searchEmployees jsp with a read only table Employees (EmpResultsIterator) that have range navigation of 10 rows, and have selection enable, in the selection facet i create a button called edit with an af:setActionListener: From: #{bindings.EmpResultsIterator.currentRow.key} and To: #{sessionScope.rowKey}
    And this button Action property goes to page editEmployees.jsp which have a form based on AllEmployees (AllEmployeesIterator) and the cancel button have code on the managed bean of the page editEmployees (scope request):
    public String cancelEditButton_action() {
    BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
    OperationBinding operationBinding =
    bindings.getOperationBinding("Rollback");
    Object result = operationBinding.execute();
    DCIteratorBinding dciter = (DCIteratorBinding) bindings.get("AllEmployeesIterator");
    ValueBinding vb = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createValueBinding("#{sessionScope.rowKey}");
    Key rowKey = (Key) vb.getValue(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());
    System.out.println("rowKey:"+rowKey);
    vb = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createValueBinding("#{data}");
    BindingContext _ctx = (BindingContext) vb.getValue(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());
    DCBindingContainer dcb = (DCBindingContainer)_ctx.findBindingContainer("pages_searchEmployeesPageDef");
    DCIteratorBinding dciterb = (DCIteratorBinding) dcb.get("EmpResultsIterator");
    dciterb.executeQuery();
    dciterb.setCurrentRowWithKey(rowKey.toStringFormat(true));
    int indxInRange = dciterb.getCurrentRowIndexInRange();
    System.out.println("IndxInRange:"+indxInRange);
    int rangeSize = dciterb.getRangeSize();
    int rangeStart = 0;
    if (indxInRange +1 > rangeSize){
    rangeStart = (indxInRange /rangeSize) *rangeSize;
    dciterb.setRangeStart(rangeStart);
    return "cancelEditEmp";
    When i am on the first range of the table AllEmployees rows 1 to 10 it works ok the cancel button, it returns to the correct row and the message IndxInRange it show the correct index number. But when i change to the next 10 rows (the next range) when i edit for example the first row and then press cancel in the message IndxInRange it shows me number 5 and then returns to number five of the first range (rows 1 to 10) instead of stay on range 2, rows 11 to 20. When i am on rows 11 to n and i edit a row and press cancel button it always return to the range of rows 1 to 10.
    any help?
    Thanks.

    I agree with you 100%.
    Wish I had waited, and ain't happy.
    But it's part of the being responsible for your own decisions that apparently very few here also subscribe to.
