I am having a strange typing glitch when I type in contractions. Help!

I have the strangest problem. When I type a contraction (such as "I'm"), the word capitalizes than kicks me out of the program - it doesn't shut the program down, but just removes the cursor from that program (if that makes any sense). I thought it was my Bluetooth keyboard, but it also happens when I use the computer's keyboard. Seems to happen primarily in Microsoft programs (Word and Outlook). Any ideas??

I'm flummoxed - never seen or heard of this. I can think of some things to look at; not fixes but a start at investigating the cause. 1) You say it primarily happens in Office produces. Have you tried turning off spell checking and grammar checking in the Office programs? If the problem stops we can look closer at Office. 2) OS X has its own buit in spell checking. Look under the Edit menu for Spelling and Grammar. Try turning off Check Spelling while typing to see if this has any affect. 3) create a new user account and log into it. See if your problem follows you there.

    Please explain as I have the same issue - I never know what the receiver gets. I do know that sometimes I get a replied/forwarded email with my message embedded in it and it is huge - I have set my fonts at 14pt for typing. but how an i be sure my clients don't see this huge font?
    If you have used Mail > Preferences to set your font at 14pt, that will normally leave the size of the font which your recipient sees up to his own software and settings. Your outgoing email body will not contain any info about font and size unless you have deliberately set them for that particular message in the New Message pane.
    In the end, it is not always possible to dictate what your clients see. Their software usually gives them the capability, if they want to use it, to read emails in the font and font size they find most comfortable.
    it is so easy to enlarge a rec'd email or a safari webpage, but why can't this be done easily?
    What is it that you want done exactly? Sometimes Mail just does not have the features people need. So they use Entourage or Thunderbird instead.

  • I'm having some strange (& Inconsistent) errors when I try to connect to the iTunes store..

    Hello there, so I was enjoying listening to music and using my various apps when suddenly I could no longer connect to the iTunes store. I went to update my apps and I was told itunes could not connect to the store 'Error 310'. I went to go online and post a question only to find my account had been suspended until I changed the password. I did so and no one managed to reply to my problem. Anyway, later that day suddenly it did connect, however when I tried to download updates I was given 'error 8003'.
    So, I did as Apple support instructed, and deleted my downloads folder, and stopped my firewall, and stopped all other programmes so my computer was running on bare bones, even my speakers were had no software. However this made no difference, and I returned later that day to find that, instead of error 8003, I was stuck with error 310 again. I am a little confused...
    Finally, I have checked and doubled checked and cannot find firewall or programme conflicts, and other wifi devices in my house seem to access the store succesfully.
    I would like to update itunes but, is it possible to update it from the website without the total reinstall? Will all my music be safe? It could just be my current version has decided not to play ball anymore.
    I'll be checking back here regularly, but thank you in advance. Also, to prewarn you, myself and computers do not always get on very well... I'm reasonably good at using them to be fair but since my first ICT lesson it's been known that computers don't seem to behave for me. So if you give me instructions please feel free to treat me like an idiot and spell them out.

    Sorry I gave this a 'this helped me' but after a long struggle I found some ticked box somewhere from some unauthorised chrome extension blaaa....... the link you gave was great, not only did it confirm all the bad things google is supposed to be up to it provided a better browser. Cheers man.
    Anyone who find this; I disabled all extension in chrome. I then searched the word proxy in the settings section. A button came up, "change proxy settings" I clicked on it. Earlier it was greyed out as an extension was interefering.. It brought up a box with my own settings from my computer. Then I clicked LAN settings, then unchecked the 'Use a proxy server' button.
    P.S. If you're using chrome, bail, and dowload Komodo Dragon. It's virtually identical, but you're not tracked, and you can use chrome extensions, and you can quickily transfer your chrome preferences into it.

  • Having a strange problem. When streaming music and or music videos to my Apple TV from my Mac sometimes the Apple TV seems to loose the stream and the only way I can get it going again is to turn off home share on my Mac and then turn it on again.

    I do not have this problem when streaming music/music videos from my IPAD or my Iphone

    The speed is probably due to your network, it is quite indirect for mirror/AP.
    For the audio, you cannot split audio and video so the audio will play where the video does.

  • InDesign crashing when using type tool - any help?

    Hi,
    Ive looked for this problem in the threads here but couldnt find the solution, only similar problems.
    I use InDesign on OSX and it works fine until I use the type tool - in new or old documents. Then it crashes.
    I tried reinstalling the program and uninstalling, also uninstalling the last fonts added to the system to no success.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi Steve,
    Its CC and it was working perfectly.
    I was on OSX Mavericks when I last edited documents.
    I've updated the OS to Yosemite a few days ago. Illustrator and Photoshop worked perfectly on Yosemite.
    I also installed a few fonts, which worked on Illustrator, if that's of any help.
    I've uninstalled all the recent additions and tried using InDesign afterwards, but its still crashing.
    I can post the error log I receive.

  • Strange files appearing when I save in illustrator CS2

    Hi all,
    I recently upgraded my OS to leopard and since i did this i have been having this strange problem?When I save a file in illustrator (CS2) it is also creating some kind second archive file (Acr1860018314.tmp for example) does anyone know what is causing this it is really annoying.

    When running Apples latest operating system with an older version of Adobe applications you are likely to encounter issues that there will be no fix for. Illustrator CS2 was released over a year before Apple's OS10.5 hit the streets. Adobe engineers can not predict what will or will not work in a new OS when writing an application.
    Unfortunately, the solution may be to upgrade to the latest version of Illustrator to solve your problem. I'm NOT stating that is the only solution, merely that it may be needed.

  • When I type into any text box the background of the box is blue and when I try to google something I can't see what I am typing...anyone know how to fix this?

    Any text box I type in the background is blue no matter what, if the website is dark the font is white and I can't read what I am typing. When I type in Google my typing doesn't show up unless I highlight it. Any help?

    That can be caused by the "Keystroke protection" in Comcast Constant Guard.

  • When I type my text gets highlighted and then deleted.

    I am having a problem with typing. When I type fast my text gets highlighted and then deleted or typed over. Im not sure what is wrong. I think it is either a trackpad or keyboard. Any help be great!!

    The trackpad on the MB and MBP have a larger surface with more sensors than on previous laptops. As a result, when we type we have other fingers, thumbs etc. making contact with the trackpad and the trackpad receives input we don't intend. It happens to me quite often. So I hit Command + Z to undo and reposition the cursor. We need to train ourselves so that we keep our hands, palms, thumbs or other unnecessary body parts away from the trackpad while typing.

  • I'm having trouble deleting mail. When I select all and delete it doesn't always work. Is there a glitch in this app?

    I'm having trouble deleting mail.  When I select all and delete it doen't always work.  Is there a glitch inthis app?

    Have you reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen? If that doesn't resolve this, you can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will not lose any data, but all device settings will have to be entered again.
    If that doesn't fix it, your next step might be to backup then erase all content and settings or restore the iPad to factory settings. See how if goes if you reset all settings first.

  • Has anyone had a problem with Illustrator lagging behind one letter when you're typing? For example, when I type "apple," the "a" doesn't appear until I type the "p." I only have one window open, and I restarted, but it's still acting strangely.

    For example, when I type "apple," the "a" doesn't appear until I type the "p." I only have one window open, and I restarted, but it's still acting strangely.

    Hi Swampxiix,
    How many programs do you have open while you're working in Illustrator? Do you have a lot of layers or art boards?
    It could be that your computer was being slowed by too many programs, or a complex design file. The age of your computer could also be a culprit.

  • Very weird glitch when typing "fi"

    When I type "fi" the two letters become as one. As in, I can't select just the "f" or just the "i." It only selects them both at the same time (although I can delete them separately with a backspace). This doesn't happen with capital letters or with any other two letter combinations I've tried. It also seems to happen only in Apple-made applications (Safari, Mail, Spotlight, etc) except iTunes and the Dashboard. This isn't a big problem...it's just odd and I was wondering if anybody had any clue.
    Thanks..

    It's called a ligature. More about it on these pages:

  • Shattered glass strange graphical glitch

    I've been having this strange thing happen every once in a while on my imac. Sometimes when randomly when you move the mouse the screen changes to look like multicolored slivers. the only way I can describe it is as multicolored "shattered glass". As you move the mouse it changes colors and such. The only work around I've discovered so far is to open dashboard several times and it disappears. Any help is appreciated.

    I get the same issue...typically this happens if I connect my laptop through a VGA cable.  I've tried everything from changing my video card settings(resolution, refresh rate, etc...) but I get the same exact graphical glitch.  Any luck on figuring this out?
    Also, do you ever get thin lines that roll/move up the screen?  I would get those occasionally and it had something to do with the digital switching inside the laptop power supply(the laptop power supply was on the same outlet) and was causing this problem so moving it to another power outlet or circuit breaker helped, but I still get the graphical glitch you have.

  • Strange Software Glitch With Bluetooth

    Okay, this is hardly a big deal but thought someone at apple would want to know... if I am in my car and I go to email search and begin typing in the search box, the car's bluetooth activates and thinks I am having a phone conversation. When I click out of the search box the call "hangs up." I do not use a bluetooth headset so I do not know if it has a similar effect there.
    PS Apologies if someone has already posted on this subject. I did not find it when I did a search.
    PPS No, I do not email when I am driving but noticed it when I was in the parking lot waiting for someone.

    Got it now. Thanks for taking the time to explain. Sorry to be so dense.
    Now, I do some DivX compression and most Projects are over that Duration. To date, I've never seen a problem with them, nor have I heard of any client having this issue. Though I might have missed it, especially if my Sequence looked good in PrPro and then my DVD looked good. I might have shipped the DivX with similar glitches, but would think that one client would have yelled at me, if I had the same thing. Have not done any H.264 compression yet, but will now keep an eye out.
    I am assuming that you're using the DivX Corp's Pro encoder to do the compression to that CODEC. I do know that they have a couple of newer versions, than what I've got. You might want to check your version numbers against what is being offered on their site. If you're using some other program to do the compression, you might want to try the DivX Corp's encoder. That would still not explain why/how you get this in both encoding schemes though. Just thinking aloud.
    Good luck, and if I run across similar, especially if there is a fix, or a workaround, I'll post to this thread.

  • I am having a strange problems on the Data entry Forms

    A form that has been used since 2005 in an old version of HFM 3.51 was migrated to SYstem 11.1.2.1 in January of 2012 and has been working since then. Suddenly we start having some strange problems. Our response time has been very slow and I am wondering if there were some problems in any of the services. Maybe a service did not start properly related to the WEB forms.
    We entered a number in one of the cell to be: 348336349 as soon as we hit enter, the number was formatted to 348,336,349 but when I submit the number it came back as 3. I tried it several times and it did not work, I checked the scaling and that was set blank. One of my user tried it and it did not work. I tried looking into the Preferences and my screen froze. In the meantime one of my user was able to enter the number and was able to refresh it as well. Then she enter another number on a different cell and the same problem occurred it seemed as if it truncated all the digits except for the left most digit, we are unable to figure out how to resolve this issue. The number entereed in the cell is 826,251,218 it stores 8 and loses the rest of the 8 digits. I right click and checlk the properties and it says that it has stored 8 instead of 826,251,218.
    Following is the DEF script. Does anyone has any ideas, I am wondering if I have to restart the services..

    Hi,
    Did you find a way to solve your problem ? We have exactly the same for one application and we are using the same version of HFM : 11.1.2.1.
    This problem is only about webforms. We can correctly input data through Data Grids or Client 32.
    Thank you in advance for your answer.

  • Strange layers issue when printing

    Hi Guys,
    I am having a strange issue which is probably easy to fix however I am not a heavy adobe user and dont know where to start.
    This is the rough process to explain my point but a summary is - when printing PDF files they do not appear as they do on screen.
    A picture/document is created in Adobe Illustrator, an outline PDF is then created and saved
    I can open the outline PDF successfully, in newer versions of PDF Reader (v8+) the PDF displays on screen correctly. In older versions the PDF is missing lines or various things.
    If I print this PDF all these lines etc still missing. I know this sounds vague but I will try and explain.
    An example is this - the document is a black box with a silver smaller box on top in the centre. On the screen it shows correctly. When I print, the black box is printed with no silver box.
    I have just discovered that the silver box is actually printed however its printed in the background so I think its got to do with layers? If I make the black box to be white, and then print I can see my silver box, so its clear it has been printed in the wrong order.
    Oh another thing I have found is the default format for saving PDF files is v1.5 if I choose an older version, the layers are printed correctly
    I have both Adobe reader installed on Mac's and PC and the issue happens on both
    Surely all the printers I have can't be all in-compatible
    Printers:
    Kyocera KM-4050
    Kyocera FSC5200
    Canon MX850
    Lanier MP2500
    Lanier MP2800

    This is not a scanning resolution factor and I have been scanning this way for years. These scans are not photos but documents. This problem just started.  And as I said before, the problem also occurs when doing a save as from Illustrator, as well as supplied files from clients, so the scanning process has nothing to do with it. I just can't get them to print right.
