Imac unable to type consecutive keys, how do i fix this?

i've had my new imac for about a week now. So far i am not having a fun or easy time using it. There's many features that are inconvenient and stupid to waste time on, but i really need them straightened out.
i can't type without everything being autocorrected, and only able to type one key at a time - can't hold down a key on the keyboard to continuously type that letter/number - it makes a menu pop up asking what i was trying to type, which is completely irrelevant and gets in the way.
Does anybody know how to change this? it's not a matter of life of death, but it is incredibly annoying being told my name is spelled wrong and not being able to type the 'ee' in it either.
instead of typing consecutively, it types the key once and makes this annoying menu pop up. please help me get rid of this.

Thanks, but how could Google possibly be controlling the entire computer? The photo i used was a bad example. The issues while typing occur wherever i'm trying to type. Here right now, and also every non-internet using program as well. In the system settings i've found control over the auto correct spelling, but i still cannot find anything about the inability to type consecutive keys.
Holding down any letter on my kepboard causes this menu to pop up, and it's very annoying. As you can see below, it blocks out lines of previous text too, all around just getting in the way.

    once you finalize the addressing the list disappears, so how can is affect the subject . For that matter is disappears when it looses focus.
    I have heard of a bug that selects the name that is highlighted when the mouse leaves the selection box if no address is selected. Perhaps that is your issue. Until the issue is fixed I suggest you use tab to leave the address box

    Try using a LensCleaner Disk first off. If that won't even run try a
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
    Then use the Lens Cleaner again. Make sure your disks are immaculately clean.

    my keyboard keeps freezing. Its so hard to type. So, how can I fix this?

    Double click the Home button. Slide up with one finger on ALL your apps to close them.
    Then, Press the Sleep/Wake button + Home button and hold 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.
    This will reset your device without erasing data, apps or settings.

  • OSX Maverick iMac Resolution: stuck at 640x480. How do I fix this?

    This is my iMac:
    - 21.5 inch
    - late 2012
    - 2.9 Ghz Intel Core i5
    - NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512MB
    - OSX 10.9.2
    After updating to Mavericks, the screen resolution somehow got stuck at 640x480 and I'm unable to change it. Going into display settings and holding down the "options" key, does not show ANY display resolution options (see image attached). Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • TA21888 No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key how can i fix this problem to may desktop mac?

    No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key......thats the words always show every time i start may desktop mac

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Try starting your Mac holding the Option (Alt) key, so you should see all bootable devices on the screen. If you see the OS X volume, select it. After starting, open System Preferences > Startup Disk, and choose the OS X volume.
    If you don't see anything, try holding the key after hearing the startup chime. If you still don't see anything, your hard disk could be damaged

  • Whenever i open certain apps i get the connect to itunes for push notifications over and over again and im unable to play the game, how do i fix this?

    hey guys i have a question,
    so i have the same problem for two of my apps, one is biike race, and the other game is snap chat. so each time i open one of these games i repeatedly get the "connect to itunes for push notifications" box coming up, and im unable to play the game, and i have to click my home button multiple times to get back to the main screen. i dont understand why this is happening and maybe you could help me out.

    There are a few other threads in this forum regarding this issue. It appears to me that this was once an issue with the iPhone, but has now started up again after the upgrade to iOS 4. My iPod Touch is ~ 2 years old and has had absolutely no problems. It is not jailbroken or altered in any way.
    This pop-up started for me after upgrading to iOS 4. I did the restore to factory, reinstalled my apps and the problem returned. It appears my push notifications are working, which is good, but I have to click through the pop-up every time I enter an app that uses notifications.
    This will go away when Apple fixes it.

  • I've unchecked the pop up blocker but still can't print an email. The print box pops up and immediately disappears and I am unable to print anything. How do I fix this?

    I am new to firefox having installed it at the recommendation of a friend. So far -- very frustrated. I need to be able to print email and can't. Also, I use roboform and it appears that the autosave popup doesn't work in firefox. Now what?

    If there are problems with updating then do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  • Currently running OS 10.7.5, but am unable to download Safari.  How do I fix this?

    I am currently running OS 10.7.5, but cannot find Safari to download and run.  I am not interested in going to the latest OS, but would just like to find Safari that works with my current operating system.  All help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you

    Safari is not in the applications folder. Yes, I have run the software updater and the only update that I get is for iTunes.  I'm really not interested in loading Yosemite as there are too many flaws at this point in time.  Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
