Double characters when typing in Safari Browse

I'm using the Safari browser, but when i type f.ex an A it responds with AA.
I only have this problem in the Safari Browser. Is there a fix for this ?
The Safari Version is 5.1.1
Hope there is a fix for this problem.

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.

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.

Revolve 810 G1 Keyboard skips characters when typing

Hi all, Just got a brand new HP Revolve 810 G1 tablet/laptop (12GB memory 256GB SDD). Things are otherwise smooth, but there is extremely annoying problem of keyboard dropping / skipping / losing some of the characters when typing. It appears randomly, not any specific keys or combos. Up till now in this post it has skipped about 10 characters. It doesn't require fast typing, even in the Win 8 start-menu, when searching for an app and then hitting enter to start the app, it might not react on the enter press. This is just an example, letters are missing from anywhere where I type. I type quite fast and know that I am hitting the correct keys. Disabling the touchpad does not help, so it is not that I would accidentally touching it during typing. I have updated BIOS, restored OS to factory state (HP Full Recovery), switching to English OS localization, installed all Windows Updates - no help. This makes working a pain, it's not feasible to chat or type document when you have to backspace all the time to fix the mistakes that you did not make. HP Support Assistant is not finding any more updates, product number is H5F12EA#AK8,WIn 8 Pro 64-bit. I have installed a 8GB SODIMM under the back cover, replacing the included 4GB chip. Will run a memtest overnight. Anybody seeing the same?? tonttuz

Welcome to the HP forum, Tonttuz. If you have adjusted the keyboard speed properties, updated the drivers, and done all the usual, thenIt could be keylogger malware - run a deep scan and make sure you are the only watching what you typeIt could be another program slowing down the system and interfering with your input - check the Task Manager and look for "hogs" -- programs that are running with a high cpu / network / disk consumption and stealing resources.It could be hardware - the system is new, but its construction may not be flawless -- Call HP=====================================================================================It could be that the drivers, though updated, are not being read from disk - instead they may be tangled in the memory and not being read properly. You might consider, without any grand hopes of success, applying a Forced Reset: Forced Reset flushes out the persistant boot-to-boot software and driver instructions from memory and forces the system to go back to the disk to read the software and drivers from the disk Operating System. Forced Power Reset Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset The Power Reset cannot tell the difference between drivers - it does not analyze a driver or software program before applying it. It assumes all the drivers and software on your computer belong there. This is a Driver Reset; this is NOT the Windows 8 Reset that installs the Operating System. This procedure does not wipe out your files nor does it destroy your Windows setup in any way. EXAMPLE:If the driver software on disk is incorrect or if the driver software is corrupt, it will still be incorrect or corrupted after the Reset.If the driver INSTRUCTIONS are tangled, messed up, or there are bits missing from those instructions, then the Reset may fix the problem. Why a Power Reset works to fix some issues: The Power Reset does not install anything on your computer, the Power / Hard Reset does not remove programs or personal data from your computer, and the Power Reset does not change the settings on your computer. Your data and programs remain as they were before the reset was applied. The Reset drains out the old program instructions from the memory and forces the computer go to the on disk Operating System to get new instructions. Why a Power Reset might Not Work:If the issue is more than just entanglement, if the "good instructions" on the computer are not good enough -- that is, you need an update, a new driver, or there is a problem that cannot be "untangled", then the Reset will not work. If there is a hardware problem the Power Reset will not work.==================================================================================== If you want to contact HP directly, you may use the following: Contact HP - Worldwide Contact HP – USA - Phone Assistance Warranty Required – USA and CanadaUSA – Contact HP // Self-Help – Email - Chat Good Luck!

Extreme lag when typing in Safari

I get a huge lag when typing an address or search term in safari. It started about a month ago and hasn't gotten any better. It's pretty much driving me nuts.
Any ideas out there?
Ray

See if any of the following help.
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Double click on iPhone's safari browser

Is there anyone can tell me, how to do double-click at the safari browser in iOS 4, similar to Windows operating system, such as there is a special site where its require double-click in a link to open up.

Double tap with your finger?
I have never run into to this.
Can also try holding finger on link for a few seconds-should get pop up giving 3 option-open, copy, cancel.

Exception when opening from Safari Browser

I have a web application developed in ASP.Net 2.0. In one of the page, I have a functionality in which i have a PDF on left hand side of web page and on right hand side I have a quiz.
The issue is whenever i am trying to save the quiz using MAC machine with SAFARI Browser I am getting exception.
Exception message: Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using <pages enableEventValidation="true"/> in configuration or <%@ Page EnableEventValidation="true" %> in a page. For security purposes, this feature verifies that arguments to postback or callback events originate from the server control that originally rendered them. If the data is valid and expected, use the ClientScriptManager.RegisterForEventValidation method in order to register the postback or callback data for validation.
This working fine in Internet explorer in Windows OS or Mozilla Firefox in MAC machine.

Hi,
How did you upgrade JDeveloper? You should install new releases of JDeveloper into a new, empty directory, not over the top of any existing installation. I'm not sure if this is the cause of your problem, but we've seen many other issues in the past due to this.
Thanks,

The "Presto" message when typing in Safari -malicious software?

Hello, I have attempted to find an answer to this online but have failed. Perhaps a member of this forum can help? I noticed that when typing a word commencing with "Presto" the following message is autocompleted
"Presto is a flash—the very essence of spontaneity, the profound magic of the “instant” when something shifts. Presto says “magic is in the air. Do not try to figure it out; you cannot. It is the power of the unknown at work, and something special is about to happen.” The word itself begs to be spoken quickly, as if without thinking. […] Something great had revealed itself in that tiny instant. […] No wonder presto is such a popular magic word. It's the magic wand blooming into a bouquet. It's the miracle of levitation. It's every special effect that's especially affective. It's smoke and mirrors in a nutshell.
— Craig Conley, Magic Words: A Dictionary"
In this case I was searching for a person called Preston in a contact database we use.
Any ideas? Is this a relatively benevolent virus?

Thank you. No other "Magic Words" identified. I had indeed checked Autofill, but this appeared to relate only to specific websites. In my case, the word triggered this effect universally.
Thanks to all for any further ideas/suggestions.

Doubling of characters when typing

Hey all!
I'm new to Mac's and I have really appreciated all of the tips and advice I have gotten here in the discussion forums.
Here's my delima. I have had my 12" iBook for a couple of months now and I can't figure out any reason for this problem. Alot of times when I am typing I get some of the characters twice. I have gone to keyboard preferences and the repeat rates are fine, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with that...it's just a random doubling of characters sometimes.
Anyone else had this problem??

Hi REM Hou,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
What version of OS X are you using? What did you last download/install before you noticed this problem? Heres what I have heard:
Some people in the past have said that it is caused by a corrupt system folder. To fix that you will need to create a new folder. First go to System Preferences - Accounts - Click the plus sign - Add info w/password - Log out and log into with new system folder. Hopefully that should do the trick.
Try that and we can go from there,
Jon

When i am typing in safari browser in Macbook dot's (..) are missing after pressing enter

Hello
My boss is having a Macbook. When he is typing a web address in safari ( for example www.hotmail.com) he is able to type full url with dot but after pressing enter it's coming like wwwhotmailcom

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

Safari quits when typing url, safari quits when typing url

When I start typing a url in Safari on the iPad 1, Safari freezes, then quits. I can only reach a url if I type it in Google search, then click the link.

I have this same exact issue. Ipad is up to date with latest software update. Question: do you have a LOT of bookmarks on the iPad Safari? I'm wondering if this has something to do with Safari searching bookmarks for a match when you enter a URL. I've used other browser programs and there's no problem so I don't believe this is an iPad system issue. I believe it's a Safari issue.

Hide characters when typing password?

I cant find any option in my Nokia Lumia where I would be able to turn off character showing during entering a password (for signing on to appstore or any other app). I cant believe that Nokia, has yet to implement this!? Especially when you are sharing screen/streaming and it is so elementary and important...
Anyone knows about some app that can disable it?
thanks for tips !

Hmmmmm,.... where are you seeing this? Everywhere on my Lumia 930, the password is 'critick'ed' (by displaying bullets instead of characters, although you can see the actual typed in character for a second or two while you are actually typing it in).
If on a website, I believe this is the responsibility of the website code, not the browser. Apps should NEVER display complete passwords while they are being input.

Reminders showing weird characters when typing

When I type in a new reminder on icloud.com (I am using WIndows 7) all of the sudden I am seeing gibberish characters. They become fine when I hit enter or details or when reading something typed.. But as I am typing, they are just weird chaarcters.,. Anyone else have this issue? How can I fix?

I'll tell you whatever you want to hear but wouldn't you prefer hearing the truth?
Personally, I'd be more concerned about someone seeing what keys my finger depressed while entering the PW. The text on the keys is much larger and much easier to see than the text on the entry area. Bottom line is that I'd never enter any PW under any circumstances while someone else is watching.

Dots are missing when typing in safari

Hello
My boss brought a brand new desktop. When he is typing a web address in safari ( for example www.hotmail.com) he is able to type full url with dot but after pressing enter it's coming like wwwhotmailcom
And it's throwing error. Any help would appreciate.

This problem is has to do with "security" (AKA file permissions) for some of the VAB files. I am not aware of what may have caused the problem. As the USER check to see what problem files exist. Then as the ADMINISTRATOR check the "Security" tab in the file's properties and you'll find that the USER is unable to modify/read/see/etc that file. Changing the setting to match one of the "OK" DLL block files should correct the problem. Alternatively you can run the command line script that the installer runs: cacls "C:\Program FIles\Hyperception\VABINF" /T /E /G Everyone:F Assuming you installed in the default directory, you should be able to drop to a command prompt and issue this command. It will scroll the name of every file in the given directory and all subdirectories. It should reset every file.

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?

Double Spacing when typing on Nokia N8

When I type a message on the internet (when I write an email for example) my phone always double spaces even though I only tap the spacebar once. This happens on a Nokia N8.
Anyone know why and how to fix it?
Thanks

You've gone to keyboard properties in the control panel, adjusted the repeat delay and it affects the cursor? That is strange indeed. I do seem to get a few more double letters on shallow keyboards found on slim devices than keyboards with longer travel, but I chock that off as a cost of slim. Still, it shouldn't be too bad.
