Delayed response when typing an e-mail

Anyone else have this problem? I type a letter and have to wait a second for the letter to appear. Extremely annoying

I am having the same problem. No other applications on my computer are affected in this way. Have you been able to resolve the issue? It IS annoying!

There is a Delayed Response When I type in certain Forms in Mozilla

There is a Delayed Response When I type in certain Forms in Mozilla. It takes several seconds for the text to catch up with the keyboard.
Some forms are OK. Specifically I am experiencing problems on http://www.mts.com.ua/eng/sendsms.php There are 3 forms or textboxes that I use on this page. One is glitchy. IE works fine on this page.
Thanks

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Slow responsiveness when typing in mail

Hi all -
I'm having a weird responsiveness problem when typing new messages (or replies) in Mail on Mountain Lion. The app will often freeze temporally when typing, and then several words of recently typed text appears at once. Freezes last 2-5 seconds. This seems to happen most frequently on my business accounts on Google (meaning gmail service, although the account is not @gmail).
I have tens of thousands of emails , so perhaps it's an indexing delay? Is there a limit on emails?
FYI, I'm on a 2009 15" MacBookPro with 8MB of Ram. My wife has experienced a similar problem on her McBook Air.
Ay ideas? Very annoying problem when you're trying to crank through emails.

Please follow these instructions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Quit Mail.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the box that opens, then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

Delay from when typed to when text appears on screen?

I'll type but there is a long lag time before the text appears on screen.
This seems to have started after upgrading to Mavericks and is most noticeable in Apple Mail.
Any tips as to how to diagnose and fix?
FWIW.....
I'm on a MacBook Pro (closed lid), Apple monitor, Apple wireless keypad and mouse.
And now OS X 10.9.3.
Thank you.

I had a very similar problem. No matter where I typed (Word, Apple Mail, online, etc.) I would get a typing lag. I did all the self diagnostics, repair disk, hardware test, PRAM reset, etc. Still had the problem. Even my mouse was lagging when i moved it. I took it to the Genius Bar and they did a hardware check and it did not reveal any problems. The tech said it still may be a hard drive or memory problem. They reformatted the hard drive and did a clean install of mavericks. I moved a few items from my time machine back up and the problem started to occur again. I reinstalled my old RAM, still had the problem.
I had wanted to upgrade to a Solid State Drive (SSD), so I purchased a Samsung EVO 500 GB SSD. As I was cloning the new hard drive, I noticed the problem wasn't occurring anymore. So I suspect it was the hard drive starting and stopping that was causing the problem. During the cloning process the installed drive was constantly spinning, therefore not starting and stopping. I've installed the new SSD and in addition to the lag problem going away, my Macbook is wicked fast!

Significant lag when typing Hebrew in Mail

I have a MacBook Air running OSX 10.7.2. Whenever I type Hebrew in mail, the cursor hangs and it takes several seconds for the letters to appear. This does not happen when typing Hebrew in any other application.
Any suggestions of what I can do?
Thank you in advance.

What causes a delay in when typing and switching between apps?

Recently, my iPad 2 seems to hesitate when moving to different home pages and when typing. I also find there is often a gap between when I use a touch command and when the command initiates. Could this be due to a lack of memory?

Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing, Wall Paper, Sound etc will be reset

Slow response when typing and/or pulling up new message

I do not have any Add-ons or extensions, so that is not the issue. I have a new computer running Windows 7, so I don't believe that is the issue either. But I have a lot of "hour-glass" time when typing and when clicking on emails to open the message. Is just seems to be responding slow. Is it Thunderbird ... or my computer?

As for Thunderbird, the only relation I could see is in line spell checking. Could you please check your Thunderbird preferences, Composition, Spelling. Does it help to uncheck 'Enable spell check as you type'?
If not, I could imagine this to be related to a virus scanner, or a display driver that is not up to date. You might be able to get an update from it from the manufacturer of your video adapter.

WRT54G VER 6 delayed response when using the web (Old WRT54G VER 2 works fine)

Very strange problem. I have had a 2yr old WRT54G VERSION 2 and it (still) works perfectly except I broke the antenna (I don't even use the wireless side). I just got a new WRT54G VERSION 6 and am having weird problems with it. I have the same problem with THREE DIFFERENT REV 6's (Staples hates me by now) but the old REV 2 always works fine when I swap it back in:
With the REV 6 version when I click on any web link or web site from My Favorites there is like a 5-10 second delay before anything connects. Just dead air for 5-10 seconds with ANY click of the mouse in IE7. When I swap back the old REV 2 version the connection is immediate and fine. If I do a PING it takes 5-10 seconds for the ping to start then it goes fine with the REV 6 but the REV 2 pings out immediately. Same problem with speed-tests. It takes 5-10 seconds to start but the results are fine on the VERSION 6 but the VERSION 2 is fine. I tried the latest firmware and the settings are the same on both router versions. I find it hard to believe I have 3 bad WRT54G REV6 routers but yet the old VER2 one continues to work fine. Comcast says it isn't their problem (and I agree) yet 3 bad routers seems highly unlikely.
One thing I have noted. The INTERNET light on the Version 2 WRT54G blinks at a "leisurely" pace, but the INTERNET light on the 3 VERSION 6's all blink at a tremendously fast rate, probably 5x faster then the REV 2.
For now I'm back to the old Version 2 WRT54G.
Any ideas why 3 Version 6's basically don't work and an old VER2 works absolutely fine (except for the broken antenna).
All routers have most recent firmware updates.
Message Edited by MisterEd on 01-30-200711:02 PM

Has to do with the version 6 routers lack of memory, it gets overloaded with packets so it slows down or just stops working. Usually unplugging and plugging back in temporarily fixes it. Do a google search for versions 5 and 6 you will see its a common problem.
The reason your version 2 works better is it has twice the memory. After version 4 they switched from Linux operating system to VXWorks. Supposedly works better with less required memory. Can they be more wrong? LOL
If you want the same performance out of a WRT54G series router look at getting a WRT54GL v1.1. Made with the same specs as versions 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Just checked my GL, coming up on 50 days online without a reboot.

Flashing Typing Cursor out of position when typing in mac mail.

Just recently when I type in mac mail and go back in to edit a bit of text already written the cursor is mis aligned.
The cursor is 1 to 2 characters out.
In other words if I try to put my cursor at the end of a word the cursor is 1 to 2 character to the left, becomes very awkward when moving around using arrow keys.
Any ideas?

Hi trentfromsa,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that the cursor in Mail is not behaving as you would expect. To troubleshoot, I would first suggest forcing the Mail application to quit and test the cursor after opening Mail fresh.

There is a processing delay. When typing in Word there is a delay between when a key is hit and when the corresponding character appears on the screen. Another example is when scrolling down a page, the scroll is also delayed.

What is cause of processing delay. Fraction of a second delay between hitting a key and seeing result on screen. Another example is when scrolling, the scroll is delayed for a fraction of a second.

This is only in Word? Sounds like Microsoft's software has a bug. Have you checked for available updates in Microsoft AutoUpdate?

Random Caps when Typing

New Mac Pro (Built in early 2008) & keyboard with OS 10.5.6
When typing in applications (Mail, Word), will get a random capitalization of a letter every 3 or 4 sentences.
A solitary letter (varies) in the middle of a word is the most common.
Have checked & re-checked but cannot find a cause.
Cannot find a way to reproduce this. Did not happen while typing this note.
Where should I look for a solution?
Many thanks!
...John

Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.
Then follow tmt83's advice if you still have issues.

Safari ipad - Delayed Response from Keyboard when typing in website address

Delays up to 30 seconds only when typing in the address. No delay when typing in the search. Any suggestions please?

That certainly is not right. I get a slight delay at times but I'm talking about a second or two.
Did you reboot? Quit Safari? Quit all apps and restart? Clear Safari?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit all apps and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Clear Safari. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache or Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Delayed response of when moving objects in diagram and panel, happend in LV 6, only for vi's compiled from previous versions. any suggestions?

When I using the mouse to select portion of the diagram or the panel, or when I moving objects- I found that in all the vi's that I compiled from former versions of labview- there is a delay of close to a second to the actual selection or movement of the item. This happens in 2 machines out of 5 that I tested it, and it happened both in windows 2000 and in windows 98. any suggestions?

Sometimes a video driver issue. Update your video driver.
Or turn down the video driver hardware acceleration. Right-click an
empty area of the desktop, choose the Settings tab, choose the Advanced
button.
The location of this differs in different versions of Windows.
Win2000: go to Troubleshooting, and turn down the slider for hardware
acceleration.
Win98: I think it's on another tab.
