Input source frozen when typing into password fields in Safari

For the past few months, I have experienced a behavior in Safari and only in Safari, where as soon as I click into a password field, e.g. a password field in a registration form, OS X automatically changes my input source from my standard US keyboard to the German keyboard layout, which itself is annoying, but it even disables the ability to swap keyboard layputs so I cannot select other input types besides the already chosen German layout. This behavior only applies to password fields and as soon as the field is not selected anymore, everything is back to normal.
This is quite annoying and can't be random behavior. Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have an explanation or solution to this? There doesn't seem to be an option in Safari to turn this behavior off. Thank you!

HI,
Try deleting the keychain.
First quit Safari. Now open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities). Select Passwords on the left.
Delete any keychains for the sites where the input source changes.
Now open Safari. Navigate to a site you normally login to. Try typing in your user name and password. If all goes well, click Yes when prompted so a new keychain is created.

When typing my password for opening my mac everything is normal until I type in any other field, then the keyboard sounds like an old typewriter and is exceedingly slow. Is there a software solution?

HT3964 When typing into forms, such as filling out a contact sheet on a website, my first few letters will not appear when i start typing. For example, if I wanted to type "explanation", i might end up with "laxation". This happens in all browsers.

If i backspace everything and start typing again in the same area, it will work properly the second time.
I am using a ~7 month old macbook air with mavericks.
Any tips to get rid of this issue would be greatly appreciated.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. 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.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know your password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test will take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

Why am I getting visual artifacts when typing in text fields?

Since upgrading to Firefox 4, I get weird graphic artifacts when typing in text fields on websites. I'm getting them right now as I type this! They appear below and to the right of the line of text. The artifacts disappear when the page is refreshed or if the window is resized. This bug only happens in Firefox. My video card drivers are up to date.
Here is an example: http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k136/tobe82/ff4bug.jpg

I've gotten this issue on Windows 7 and on Ubuntu. To fix, go to Options->Advanced->Disable Hardware Acceleration.

Problem when typing into Speech Agent...

THis seems to happen A LOT!!! I will click into a field to type my speech and after I'm done typing, I look up, and at some point it stopped typing! I am using a Wacom Bamboo Create and I thought maybe I was touching it by accident and clicking out of the type area, but I have now turned off the touch capabilities and it still does it. I have a LOT of text to input and this is very frustrating! I don't have this happen in any other applications. I can type in Word, Outlook, Chrome and Notepad++ with no problems at all, it only happens in Captivate. Not to mention sometimes when I click "+" to add another text area, it will just put it wherever it sees fit. I can be on slide 14, click "+", and my new text line appears in slide 6! HOORAY!!!! Captivate seems to be quarky as hell! Any ideas?

Hi there
I know you said you have a touch pad (Wacom Bamboo Create) but are you also on a laptop? If so, perhaps it's possible that as you type sometimes you touch the touch pad between you and the keyboard? I used to have that happen to me all the time until I configured the laptop to disable the touch pad when a mouse was connected.
If that's not the case, I *CAN* think of a workaround. Compose your text in Notepad. Then copy from there and just pasted into Captivate.
Cheers... Rick

Data type mismatch when inserting into text field

Hello all,
Using VB script and ASP.
I have a page that inserts into a field (casenum) in a table (clientsw) in a database. The field (casenum) in the table is data type TEXT :
I create a recordset and then an insert statement which the following is part of:
Code to insert the casenum into the field
rsClients("Casenum")=Right(Date(),2) & "E-100" & rsCasenumber("countervalue")
It inserts a number like 09E-1004500
I then have code that takes that string and passes it to the next page as a variable
Session("UserID")=rsClients("CASENUM")
response.redirect "done3.asp"
When it gets to the next page it is assigned as UserID
Dim svuserid
svuserid = "0"
if (Session("UserID") <> "") then svuserid = Session("UserID")
%>
My information inserts into the database exactly as I want it, but when it gets to the next page I get an error that is displayed that says the following:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e07'
Data type mismatch in criteria expression.
/done3.asp, line 16
My code on the second page is as follows:
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>

<%
Dim svuserid
svuserid = "0"
if (Session("UserID") <> "") then svuserid = Session("UserID")
%>
<%
set rsClients = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsClients.ActiveConnection = MM_connNewdatabase_STRING
rsClients.Source = "SELECT * FROM CLIENTSW WHERE CASENUM=" + Replace(svuserid, "'", "''") + " ORDER BY CASENUM"
rsClients.CursorType = 0
rsClients.CursorLocation = 2
rsClients.LockType = 3
rsClients.Open()
rsClients_numRows = 0
%>
Line 16 is the one that says rsClients.Open()
If I take the concatenation out of rsClients("Casenum")=Right(Date(),2) & "E-100" & rsCasenumber("countervalue") and have only rsClients("Casenum")=rsCasenumber("countervalue") and change the table field to number, I don't get the "datatype mismatch error"
What do I change to enable me to leave the above statement concatenated and insert into the table correctly and complete the stuff on the next page?

>This is an access database, varchar is not an option for a datatype.
Sorry. In another thread I thought you mentioned using SQL Server
>I changed the + signed to ampersands instead and it doesn't make a difference.
I didn't think that was the problem. I was just pointing out that it's a bad practice. If you use the '+' on two strings that can evaluate as numeric, it will actually add rather than concat them.

Why is the keyboard shortcut for 'Select next input source' disabled when using Safari?

I'm using Safari 6.0.5 and am running 10.8.4 on a MacBook Pro 13" from last year.
I've been using Chrome and Firefox heavily recently, but switched to Safari to give it a chance. It's really nice and lightweight, which suits me.
However, for some reason unbeknownst to me, the keyboard shortcut 'Select next input source' is disabled in Safari, in all windows/input methods.
Since I constantly switch input methods, this is incredibly frustrating.
It persists after quit + restart.
Any ideas?

Yes, just Safari. In Chrome, Firefox and all other applications it works as expected.

How to type in password field in Safari???

Thanks in advance for any help.

Your profile indicates you're running Tiger, so you're in the wrong forum. When you repost, clarify exactly what's going on. +What's the easiest way to record yourself opening Safari & logging into a site…+ doesn't tell me anything useful. What exactly are you trying to do? What does record mean? Details and clarity are essential.

Frozen after typing (correct) password. HELP!

Any ideas before I do a hard reset?
As of last night, my Blackberry isn't fully unlocking after I type my password. I type the correct password and hit enter, the password entry section turns dark (or it will stay on the "Enter Password screen" and appear to freeze). (If I type the wrong password it simply prompts me again, so i know I am typing the correct password). This is after multiple battery pulls.
Sometimes after typing the correct password, I can hold down the blackberry button and it will bring up the box that lets me switch to BBM, the browser, the Home Screen, etc and I can "switch" to that program, but there is a sort of frozen shadow of the Enter Password box over what ever app I switch to and I can't use the trackball or keyboard in those apps.
This "frozen box' is preventing me from using any application on my BB!
I CAN receive calls. Barely. I can only make calls if I pull battery and DON'T unlock the phone and go to the Place Call option.
I upgraded to OS 5 over a week ago and things were fine until last night. I can hear my BB when it receives messages (the tones work) or txt etc but can't read anything due to the lock up!!
The only suspect is Google Talk which I installed two days ago and seemed to be hogging resources and draining the battery, however the phone worked fine for about a day with it on. Perhaps Google Talk is launching at startup and hanging things up? I doubt it but this is full disclosure.
I have also, pulled battery and removed the micro-sd card to see if that had any affect -- alas to no avail.
One analogy I can think of is it as if the Windows Explorer is hung but everything else is working.
THOUGHTS?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try this:
1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
"c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Try UNclicking on the Google Talk app and remove it from the device and let's see if that is the issue.
NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
Just select the appropriate carrier and network type, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.

Where's the erase key when typing voicemail password?

When checking my voicemail, the keypad that shows up to let me type my password has no erase/backspace key. How can I correct a mistyped number without having to exit each time?

Thanks, but it's precisely that backspace/erase key labelled "x" that's missing on the Voicemail keypad. You see it when you're calling or writing notes, or just about anytime you need to input something. But it's mysteriously absent when you need to input your voicemail code.

Data being overwritten when typing in a field

When entering text in a field, the text that is entered gets highlighted and is deleted. This usually happens when a lot of text is being entered. I get around it by typing slowly and when the text gets highlighted, stopping. Then when it text is no longer highlighed contined to type in what text is to be entered. The highlighting is similiar to the way you would highlight text in a document to be deleted, but in this case its happening automatically as text is entered.

Steve
There is no timer involved.
It is really strange. I thought it just happened to me, but some of the other users of our system experience the same problem on other forms. I will attempt to explain what is happening. For example, if I attempt to type the following
The reason for this adjustment
I will start to type 'The reason for this adjustment' and somewhere during the typing, what I have typed gets highlighted and deleted. But if I type slowly and catch when the text that I did type gets highlighted, I can stop and remove the highlight from the text, position the mouse at the end of what I have typed and continue to enter the rest of the text. What's also confusing that it is also intermittent.
I had the same forms in 6i, but only experience the problem in 10g.
Hope that this explains the problem a little better.
Thanks
Paul

How do I get calendar in iOS7 to look up address when entered into location field of appt?

With Mavericks on iMac, when I start to enter a location into a calendar event, the address gets looked up, completed and a map shows up on the event. The map is there when that event is sync'd with iPhone or iPad running iOS7. But on iPhone or iPad, when I enter an address into a calendar item, no lookup takes place and therefore I don't have a "live" address to click on for directions. Is there some setting in iOS7 that determines whether an address gets looked up in the calendar?

A quick look at their web site shows I've misinterpreted what you said - Notational Velocity isn't related to iCal. However if you are still having a problem with that the makers would be the people to ask.
I'm not sure why you can't get iCal files to work if they are in the correct place. In 10.6.8 the Calendar folder includes a folder for each calendar, and these contain the .ics files which represent the actual events. I don't know whether 10.8 has altered the format as I don't use it.
You originally said ' I found the old calendar data in Users/my name/Library/Calendars, and copied it over into the Library file on my new machine.' - did you copy the entire Calendars folder intact?

Want google results when typing into url

Hello, When I used to type into the URL I would automatically get Google Search Results (if it was not a valid URL).
Now I get AltaVista Google Search Results.
I want to change this preference back, so that it goes to standard google search results again.
Anyone any idea how to do this ?
It happened when i installed AltaVista Toolbar, I have removed AltaVista toolbar, and the problem is still there. Also reinstalled FF, and still there. HELLLLLP !

Some Email addresses in Address Book don't appear when typing into Mail

Every now and then I start to type a name in the To: field in Mail when I know that name and address is in Address Book. The spelling is right and the sytax is right but there is no way that mail will recognize its existence. What can I do about this?

I am talking about the function as described in http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Pages09_UserGuide.pdf Chapter 11 from page 246 to 252.
In my address book under Settings - Accounts I have two accounts. One is the Exchange Server and one is Local.
The addresses stored on the Exchange server appear complete and sound in Addressbook and exactly like the ones stored local. So from this side everything is fine.
But when I want to merge addresses from Addressbook in a Pages document then the Name, Company, Title appears correct, but Street (Work), ZIP (Work), City (Work) doesn't appear if it is an address that is stored on the Exchange account. If the address is stored on the Local account then it comes complete. In Addressbook both addresses come complete and don't show any difference.
So it isn't quite true that Addressbook is not designed to import data stored in another application, because part of the address is coming.
The Exchange account on Addressbook works exactly the same than the Local account. I can add data to the Exchange account and I can export data from it.
