Keyboard typing weird letters and symbols

Hi all
I have tried to use my Macbook Pro this morning and when I type its typing the wrong letters
and symbols...................can anyone help?
Thanks
Jo

I just spent hour trying to fix tihs on my iMac and could find the answer so I wanted to post it for someone else. Mine was typing in crazy symbols (åß∂ƒ©).
Also I could not Command + Tab (shoot me), and when I clicked on a window in another app it hid the windows I was working in.
I tried new keyboards. And the system preferences stuff - system preferences - language & text - input sources. then select US. This didn't fix it.
Then I tried to change the keyboard shortcuts in the same window - spotlight (on left), unclick the show spotlight search field and the other one bellow. Then hit the com + Spacebar. This didn't fix it.
Then i did it and double check that i did it right and still didn't fix it.
So I called apple support and they gave me the magical key to fix this.
Turn off your computer. Unplug for 30 sec, and everything attached. Then power it back on and hurry and hold Command + Option + P + R. I held Command + Option + P with one hand and then after I hit power I added the R.
The computer will make one chime. Keep holding it. I will then shut down and make one more chime and you can let go.
Taa daa!!
I have a 27" iMac 2.93Ghz i7 with 10.8.2 (FYI).

Keyboard typing extra letters

The text that I am typing is adding additional letters! It is not happening to every letter. But the same letters, sometimes before it or after it. Like this:
t - bt
= - =[
y - ny
b - bt
n -ny
Has anybody had the same problem?
It seems like something qnuibte small, but bthis email took me 10 minutes to write! I can't get into any emails or search easily on the internet.
If so, please help.

When having problems of a nature that appear in multiple applications, the bios settings would be the first place to start.
If it occurs in only one application then likely a bug or some form of character substition you may have accidentally setup. Reset progran to defaults,
Restart your machine and save you current bios settings if you can and then reset the defaults.
Once rebooting into windows, go into control panel and reset the defaults for you keyboard and make sure you nationalization setting is correct.
If you remember any type of utility that you may have loaded that might use macros, uninstall any utilities you may have installed.
Also think of all the things you tinkered with, maybe window shell script or other feature most common users don't know exists.
I am old, so I open a console window and type set to see all the environment variables setup up. If any look odd check into them. Make sure something has not modified your path allowing something to be used instead of what should be by default,
Reboot the machine again and see what happens.
If you still have problems, I personall would save my data,, reset the entire system hardware back to the defaults reformat my hard drive and reinstall my software paying close attention to any possible odd options requested rearding your keyboard.
But before doing that if you would like to avoid it.

Keyboard typing other letters

My laptop ran out of battery and turned off. When I turned it back on, the keyboard was messed up. Most letters work fine. But some letters either dont appear when I hit the key, or hitting that key produces a string of other letters or numbers.
Problem letters -
r, f, sometimes s, apostophe, colon, hyphen.
when I hit f I sometimes get these-

Help!

Try resetting both the PRAM/NVRAM -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 - and well at the SMC -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964.
If neither solve the problem, call back,

Keyboard Typing Wrong Letters

Lately, when I hit my 'W' key, it types a 'P.' I'm running Leopard. Anyone else having problems?

While typing keyboard starts typing wrong letters

I have checked my settings for my keyboard and have changed keyboards. I can open Pagemaker 7 & start typing, all's well. Then after a while it starts typing wrong letters & I can't use my short cuts. I also tryed reloading Pagemaker 7. I have run Malwarebytes, AVG, & Spybot. I can't find anything. It is also doing the same thing In Photoshop. It doesn't do it in any other programs besides Adobe.

I thought it was setup Default input language as English (United States).I checked and there was 2 other settings under keyboard besides US. United states-Dvorak and United States international. So I removed them. Also under Advanced Key Settings and Hot keys for imput languages - Switch between input languages was set up to work. I changed this to none. So far it has worked fine. Today is my long day at work so we'll see. Do you think that was it? How would that have gotten changed? I have done some windows updates recently that caused me problems with my display.

While typing, the keyboard starts typing multiple letters. I'm fed up of this. I don't think I am doing something at my own, it's happening at its own. Is it because of some problem in the hardware since OS and system refresh could not resolve this.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If you have done this like I describe above and the problem continues I suggest you contact Apple Support or make an appointment at an Apple Store and have your iPad examined by a technician.

Safari keeps typing double letters

I'm using Safari for Windows (5.1.1) and it keeps typing double letters in web forms, etc. - although it does stop when I reboot the browser. Any help will be much appreciated.

Solution Found:
The culprit was Keyscrambler, an anti-keylogging prog made by QFX Software.
When Keyscrambler was active, the double-letter thing happened when typing into any Safari form fields. Disabling Keyscrambler solved the problem.
I discovered this accidentally by going to XP's Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Keyboards, and looking at the driver details for my Logitec USB keyboard. The Keyscrambler driver was listed there so I thought there might be a connection. And there was.
I see a number of Safari double-letter complaints on the web and your particular reason for this fault may be different to mine. I've notified QFX about the fault.

When I first downloaded to 7.1, it made my keyboard black with white letters. Very distinct. Now, it's somehow back to white with black letters. How do I get my black keyboard with white letters back ? iPhone 5S

You changed the proper preference, but you don't need to relaunch iTunes. You do, however, need to click the blue OK button at the bottom right of the preferences window. The change will happen then.

Right side of the keyboard shows different letters

It happened just from nowhere. When I started typing words that include letters like U I O P [ ] J K L; ' nm,. they change into numbers or some symbols. However when I press an FN button while typing those letters, they come out just fine.
Is there some shortcut that changes it? I was so mad that I switched to Ubuntu and this problem disappeared. Today I installed XP again and this problem was back. Looks like XP doesn't like Lenovo?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

you switched your number lock on, you could turn it off by pressing FN + NUMLK (which is located on the around F11 key).

Keyboard typing errors

My recently purchased HP laptop frequently introduces keyboard typing errors. The cursor will jump to different locations while typing, will introduce unrequested commands, such as erasing, jumping to different pages, etc. I have turned off the fingerpad and the errors continue. Is there a cure?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

If I buy a Mac Air online in Taiwan will the keyboard include English Letters?

You should - if you're in the UAE, for instance, you should get an Arabic keyboard (you may have to specify when you configure your machine - I don't know, I live in the US).
