Delayed typing and clicking

Delay in typing and clicking on firefox?

Hey,
I have exactly the same problem. It seems not to be a GTK+ related problem, as this delay does not occur in other GTK+ / GTK3 applications (the Text Widget-demonstrations in gtk-demo and gtk3-demo run flawlessly, too).
Eclipse runs perfect on every other linux distribution - there must be a difference in some configuration, I just can't figure out where.
Does anyone hav any hints, besides those of spacecuterly?
Thanks, guys!!

Scrolling, typing and clicker "stick" all of the sudden - help?

I bought my MBP exactly one month ago, and things have been fine for the most part. But suddenly the response rate for my clicker, two-finger touch pad scrolling and typing ave been abysmally slow. It takes the computer a few seconds to catch up with what I'm typing, scrolling down pages is no longer smooth and controlled but sticky and "jumpy", and in clicking/unclicking boxes, links (anything)there is a similar delay.
Last night as I was watching some web-based quicktime videos everything froze up, and I had to restart...the first few attempts at restarting were unsuccessful; the grey screen popped up with the apple logo and the timer icon went round and round, but OS never booted. Once I did manage to boot up, the same thing happened again while trying to watch these videos. I restarted again, and again, and again, until the computer would boot to desktop. After that I began having this issue. Any ideas about what this is/how to fix it? Thanks.

viper0066 -
     You must have DiskWarrior v 4.4 in order to run under Lion. That does not mean you can't use an earlier version of DW if you are running a copy while booted in an earlier version of OSX provided that the version of DW is supported by that earlier version of OSX. So, you could use DW 4.3 on a Lion startup drive provided that you are booted into Snow Leopard or older, if that makes sense. Also, as of a few days ago Alsoft still didn't have a bootable CD/DVD for Lion, apparently they are waiting for a copy of the code from Apple to do this. So you can't boot a computer requiring Lion from an existing DiskWarrior CD or DVD (yet).
     I seem to remember a memory error similar to what you are getting when there is not enough room left on the drive for virtual memory while DW works. The larger the drive you are working on the more virtual memory space you need. Remember that DW operates in a fail safe mode, that is, it writes potential changes to unused space on the drive first so you can use the preview function before committing to the final writing of the repalcement directory. How much free space unused room do you have left on these drives, and how big are they? I'm not sure if the free space has to be contiguous, if so you might consider iDefrag or something similar. However, as to any drive that already has problems, do not try iDefrag, that well might make the problem worse:(
     I hope these comments help. - Randy

Pops and Clicks and Delays with X-Fi Fatal1ty Platinum in Windows 7 32bit

Hi, I own an x-fi fatalty platinum sound card and I have installed the beta driver for Windows 7 32bit.
When doing things in the OS, i get occasional pops and clicks. I know exactly what it comes from, it happens when there are multiple sounds being played simultaneously. If I join a ventrilo server, the little intro sound it makes pops and clicks. If I hold down my talk key, sometimes it will pop and then play the little talk sound, sometimes it won't play the sound at all... and the same is true when I let go of my talk key.
Virtually everything I do in the OS has this weird pop and click sound associated with it. Playing music, however, doesn't have that problem because an MP3 is a continous stream of audio and counts as a single sound. It's when there are multiple sounds overlapping does it pop/click or fail to produce the sound at all or in its entirety. It's like the x-fi is delayed and isn't able to play the sound fast enough which therefore produces a pop and clicking sound at the beginning of sounds. This is why I purchased an x-fi sound card becaus it eliminated this problem from my onboard sound. Now it's BACK in Windows 7.
Also, when I play UT2004, by default there's an option called "Use System Driver" checked in the sound options. This makes everything in the game have a slight 0.25 second delay, but it's enough to make it noticeable and annoy me. If I disable "Use System Driver", it fixes the delay but the pops and clicks come back!? I can't win one way or the other.
Windows XP does not have this problem. I have tried both the stable x-fi driver and the beta driver. I have tried updating my OpenAL software. I'm not sure what to do beyond reinstall Windows 7 and try again... which I really do not look forward to doing.
If anyone could assist me, or take note of this issue so it could be fixed in later drivers, it would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
-Neil

Hello?

Windows 7 -Delay after right click and installation query

Hi,
I have freshly clean installed Windows 7 home premium x64 in my HP laptop which was previously running the x86 version of the same factory installed OS.I have performed a usb install.Now,I have two queries-
1.During the installation,when the machine rebooted,to complete the installation process,it gave the option of 'Continue with win 7-EMS ENABLED'-and I went ahead with it and completed the process.I want to know whether this EMS thing is normal or not?
2.There is a slight delay after the right click in the desktop-how can it be resolved?
Looking forward for your valuable opinions regarding this

Hi,
First please know that EMS allows users to control particular components of a server remotely, even when the server is not connected to the network or to other standard remote-administration tools. In Windows Vista and later, use BCDEdit /emssettings command
and its parameters to establish EMS settings for all boot entries. Then, use the BCDEdit /ems command to enable EMS for a particular boot entry.
It's ok to get EMS enabled.
For your second question, it seems a performance issue.
Please first let me know except the system default context on the right click menu, if there is any 3rd part context menu or extension. if so, please use shellexview to remove them:
1. Download ShellExView v1.41 from the following link
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.zip
Please Note: The third-party product discussed here is manufactured by a company that is independent of Microsoft. We make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
2. Extract "shexview.zip" file and open shexview.exe. It will scan the registry for all the shell extensions.
3. Select all the non-Microsoft extensions in pink by press "Ctrl" in the keyboard.
4. Click the "Disable Selected Items" on the toolbar and click Yes.
5. Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.
If there is no such context menu, please run performance troubleshooting under Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\All Categories.
Also, help to test the issue in Clean boot mode.

If the issue doesn’t appear, you can determine which one can be the cause by using dichotomy in MSconfig. Checking on half of Non-Microsoft service and restart, determining which half of the services cause the issue and repeating to check half of the problematic
half services.
If the issue still persists, please check if there is any related error or warning in event logs, post back for our further research.

Why do I have to click each time in the "TO" bar to add an additional email address? Before 4.0, I could keep typing and adding more addresses.

When typing people to send my email to, I have ALWAYS been able to start typing and the address pops up, so I select it, then I can start another, and so on. NOW I can only start typing and select ONE email. The cursor is no where to be found and I can only add more email addresses by clicking EACH time in the address bar. HATE THIS!!!!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4+ you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if it frightens you, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

How can I automatically connect to the server without having to type the password and click "connect"?

I have a Mac OS X 10.8 and a Time Capsule configurated as server with a name "Servidor" on my home. The discs are protected by Accounts, so, each person can access the server by typing own name and password. The problem is... Every time I start the computer, I see the window below:
So, every time I start I have to type my name and pass. And the box "Remember this password on my keychain" doesn't work because the "Password" is always blank when I see the window, like the image up.
Please, someone help me to automatize it so I don't need to type nothing to connect to the server. I want something that do it automatically for me.
NOTE: Please, explain clear and with details because I'm a new Mac's user.
Thank so +!

Try running KeyChain First Aid if you have not already done so.
Open Keychain Access and click on the KeyChain Access menu at upper left of the screen
Click KeyChain First Aid, then close KeyChain Access
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Network
Click on AirPort or WiFi on the left
Click Advanced at the lower right
Click to highlight an old network that you no longer need, then click the - (minus) button to delete the listing
Do the same for other neworks that you no longer need
Make sure there is a check mark in the box that reads "Remember networks this computer has joined"
No other boxes should be checked.
Click OK, then click Apply
That is about all that you can do.

The mouse on my Macbook Pro is acting like a maniac, moving around on it's own, and clicking on it's own!

This happened completely out of the blue when I started my computer this morning. At first I just noticed that the touchpad wasn't responding very well. Then the cursor started moving on it's own, and clicking completely randomly at times as well. I have no idea what's going on or what may have happened, as I'm VERY careful with my laptop. Have tried restarting several times, it doesn't do the trick. It's also nearly impossible to try and change any settings or work at all on the computer, as the cursor/mouse is living a life on it's own (typing this from my iphone...).
Help!

UPDATE:
I just solved this by plugging a mouse into the laptop, disabled "tap to click", and then unplugged the mouse again.
The trackpad now works as perfectly as it used to. I also enabled "tap to click" again, and it also works now.

Why am i having a delay whenever i click on anything on Firefox now?

Recently, in the past two weeks or so, I have a 2-4 second delay whenever I click on a Firefox function, from clicking on an existing tab, using the scrollbar, clicking on the refresh button, clicking on any toolbar function, etc., etc.. Why? It doesn't seem to be my computer, lack of memory, etc.. I've done everything from clearing the cache, updating the latest version of Firefox, booting my computer, etc. etc. Nothing seems to fix the problem. This only started happening recently. My computer has plenty of memory (2 gig, usually at least 1.5 gig available), nothing has changed on it that i can think of, i always keep everything updated, from my McAfee to my Firefox, not running any memory intensive programs, and have basically a brand new computer with tons of free space, memory, etc., running Windows 7, 64-bit, and is super fast with everything else... am only having this problem with Firefox. Any ideas that aren't the usual things to look for? It's annoying to have to wait those few seconds every time i try to do something on Firefox. Thanks!!

I deleted photoshop and re installed it,
Deleting Photoshop is not advisable, you should have un-installed it.
Boilerplate-text:
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

I am experiencing delayed typing with texting after upgrading to IOS 7 - anyone seeing this?

Both my wife and I are experiencing delayed "typing" with texting after the upgrade to IOS7. Concisely, you can keep typing, but there is a noticable delay before the text appears in the message section. I have also noticed delays with entering my 4 digit Passcode.

Mine was so bad that it was nearly impossible to type in my passcode. I finally restored the phone (reinstalled the software) and then restored from backup. All is working fine now. This is on my iPhone4. The real trick was getting past the passcode and then turning off Find my iPhone (which is required to restore) when it was nearly impossible to type my password in.
It solved my problem. After I did it I read somewhere here to try resetting all settings. That would be quicker but you may lose some settings you had. In any case restoring completely solved my problem.
My iPad did not experience any of these problems.

Slight latency when typing and scrolling is Safari

Something is wrong my Safari. There is a slight delay when typing and when I scroll really long webpages that are fully loaded into the browser. I created a new system profile and verified this problem is NOT happening there. It's very annoying and I don't know what is causing this. It only happens in Safari and no other program that requires typing and scrolling. Can someone help?
Thanks!

I created a new system profile and verified this problem is NOT happening there.
It only happens in Safari and no other program that requires typing and scrolling.
Since it's a user specific issue and only Safari, more then likely a third party Safari add on that's causing this.
Go to Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
Deselect: Enable plug-ins
Quit then relaunch Safari.l
If you notice a difference when typing and the scrolling issue disappeared, follow the instructions here > Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

Why is Firefox typing and cursor are slow upon a normal startup but everything works well when I restart in safe mode?

When I open FIrefox normally, the cursor movement is very jerky - seems to get stuck on every link. In addition typing in any box is delayed. When I restart with add-ons disabled and in safe mode, the cursor moves fine and typing is normal. I have disabled all my add-ons but that doesn't seem to help as each time I restart, the jerky cursor and delayed typing present again. What is wrong?

Thanks - that seems to have solved the problem

Latency when typing and scrolling

When I type (mostly office mac) a word I might type the first letter, then wait 3 or 4 seconds for the rest of the word to appear. This happens at random. It usually doesnt happen right away but only after I have been working for a while and applying other functions like attributes and saving the work. Also when I use the scroll wheel on my mouse or even try to grab the scroll bar there is a hesitation before scrolling takes place. Even with all other programs closed this happens. It happens in all programs to a certain extent, but at random. This has been a problem since the day I purchased the computer almost two years ago. I had the logic board replaced a couple of months ago which fixed some other filing problems, but did not fix the typing and scrolling problem. So last month I took the machine back to complain about the typing latency. They couldn't find anything wrong with the computer anywhere! Well, that's just great! I don't think they gave it enough time. My Apple protect plan runs out this october, I think, so I need to address this as soon as possible. Any suggestions?
imac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

It does not happen during the first, maybe half hour to an hour. I did take it in to demonstrate to the genius bar but it didn't act up I guess because it wasn't on long enough. This phenomenon, once it starts becomes epidemic and can effect any or all programs including macromedia MX; like draw a simple circle and wait 15 to 30 seconds for it to generate an image. The scrolling and mouse clicking are both radically affected at this point. The last time I can remember problems like this, I owned a MacPlus running sys 6 which had a bad power supply. I replaced the power supply, and it ran great for about a week, then reverted back to the same situation, and eventually a sad-mac. On my end the only thing I could try is to replace the memory, but that will cost me a few bucks. I'd like to ask apple to come over to my place when this happens so I can prove it to them. Maybe that's wishful thinking. I hope I don't have to give up my mac because of this, but It sure looks like it at this time.

More and more I'm experiencing problems with safari . . . I think. I got to a website, and click on something and that little rainbow wheel emerges, spinning, and doesn't stop for a few minutes or never.

First, I'm assuming when the rainbow wheel appears, the computer is processing. Second, I'm seeing that almost anytime I click on one website, click on a tab in the website, or try to get out of safari. I don't know if seeing that more means my computer is not functioning properly, or that it's been on too long and needs to shut down, or what? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can use the Tab key to select a search engine on the bottom bar and press Enter to use the search engine to do the search.

In the current Firefox 34 release there is a new "one-off" search bar.
This search bar doesn't show the name of the search engine and a logo.
You can type one letter to make a drop-down list appear where you can see suggestions and see the used search engine and that also has bar at the bottom where you can select other search engines that are enabled via the Search tab in Options/Preferences.
You can use the Tab key to select one of the other available search engines and press the Enter key to search with the selected search engine.

My cursor jumps around while typing and scrolling. i've tried different mice, different usb ports

I have a new HP pavillon HPE windows 7. My cursor jumps around while typing and scrolling. I've tried different mice and usb ports.I contacted HP support and was instructed to do several things to the mouse and pointer, nothing helps. I installed in usb port in the rear of the computer that helped for a short time, then it went back to jumping around. So what else can I try. Thanks

I have to admit I am baffled. I understand and have seen the issue happen on laptops before, but for the issue to be happening on a desktop strange. I can even understand a wireless mouse, however yours is wired.
Microsoft has a tool called Mr Fix it. It scans the problem area and attempts to fix whatever is wrong. It's worth the shot in this case to see if it helps resolve the mouse issue.
