Multiple characters show up when I'm typing in Safari.

Help! When I am using Safari, and I'm typing, for example, the address of a web page, multiple characters show up. Ex: google comes up as ggooogle. It only seems to happen when I am using Safari. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi Robert! Thanks for replying so quickly!
On the Autofill menu, I have checkmarked "Using Info from my address book" and "Other forms". I turned these two off, and typed in "auto fill" in the spotlight search. it came out as "autto fill". Is it possible that I typed in some words wrong, and it's remembering what I typed?

  • IBook G4 – multiple characters show up when a single key is pressed

    My iBook G4 was recently in a fire at my apartment. I lost everything but my laptop happened to be lying on the floor and was undamaged by heavy amounts of smoke and soot. I cleaned the exterior of the iBook up with a soft damp cloth. I used this on the keypad as well.
    After the fire and cleanup the keyboard is acting erratic. When I press "p" for example I get an input of "p0-" or "p[9" Obviously multiple keys are being pressed down at once but there isn't any particles or trash in the keys as far as I can tell. I've lifted out the keypad and blown it out (with my lungs) and have yet to purchase any compressed air to try this method further.
    The strange thing is that sometimes the keyboard works just fine. Moments later, however, multiple keys will begin being pressed.
    Has anyone had this issue?
    As a side note, does anyone have any hints on removing the smoke smell from an apple product (white plastic) that's been in a house fire?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jenkin

    You say it wasn't damaged in the fire, but it sounds like it's possible that the heat maybe "welded" the 2 top rows' keys together, or did it get wet when the fire was being put out? It's possible that a new keyboard might fix the problem, but you should look first at the cable that connects it and inspect it for damage.
    Take the keyboard out and see if you can see something catching when you press the QWERTY keys. Also using compressed air to blow it out would be worth a try.

  • Every time i click anywhere, on any page, the blinking line that shows up when you're typing appears on the page.

    for instance, when i was typing this question, the blinking line appeared in the box. when i clicked outside the box, it appeared next to the header above this form, as if i could type there.
    a lot of the time, if i try to click away, the blinking line applies itself to the entire page. if i do manage to get it to vanish, i can't scroll with my arrow keys; if i don't, hitting the down arrow takes me to the bottom of the page, and hitting the up arrow does nothing.
    i can still follow links and such.

  • 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
    And it's throwing error. Any help would appreciate.

    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...

  • Japanese characters showing Junk when opened in MS Excel

    Hello Friends,
       I am working on a BSP project but this one is a little of ABAP as we are allowing some download reports via ABAP but all other interfaces via BSP..BUT eventually, we will be converting them to BSP download features.
    At this point, I am facing a strange issue while downloading via normal ABAP but I am speculating I may face this issue even if I download via a BSP Download option. Here is my issue:
    I have a ABAP report which displays vendor name and address as a list.  Some of the vendor address are in Japanese Language and they are displayed properly on the report output ie on screen. (We have logged in as language JA). Now, when the user uses the SAP standard menu ie SYSTEM->LIST->SAVE->Local File-> and selects SPREADSHEET and saves the file as a .XLS on his desktop. When he opens this MS Excel spreadsheet from the desktop...all the Japanese characters are displaying as JUNK!
    Since it is displaying properly on SAP, I am assuming this is something to do either with MS Excel or there is something going wrong when SAP downloads to Excel.
    How can I get the Japanese characters displayed properly via the spreadsheet. Could anyone kindly help me to resolve this issue.
    Our SAP is NON UNICODE enabled. We are on SAP ECC 5 ie 6.40.
    Your help is much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Shan

    kumar,
        I wrote to SAP about this issue and here is what they have to say and the solution they suggested.
    the files which are created by the download as spreadsheet option are
    no true Excel files (see note 569537).
    Therefore the automatic import into Excel fails sometimes, and Excel
    needs additional parameters to import such a file.
    Could you try the following:
    1. Rename the file so that the extension is .txt - not .xls.
    2. Open the file in Excel via the File->Open dialog.
    3. In the import wizard, choose encoding "932 - Japanese (Shift Jis)"
    In my case (Excel 2007) the files were displayed correctly. The problem
    is that Excel does not know the original encoding of the file, so the
    encoding must be specified by the user.
    We followed the same.
    Hope this helps.

  • Field - Show only X number of characters; Show all when double-click.

    Hi,
    I'm not too sure if this can be done.
    I can to show the content of a field for only the 1st 15 characters and if user were to double-click on it, it will then show the entire field content. Is this possible at all?
    E.g., the full content of the field is "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." The field should display "The quick brown..."
    Thanks in advance for all help/suggestion. My version of CR is CR XI R2.
    Regards.

  • Mail shows up when I go into Safari

    My mail show up when I click on the Safari icon in the dock. I have to quit mail if I want to get into Safari.

    Have you reset your phone?
    Hold the home button + the lock button for about 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  You will not lose any data or current settings.

  • Safari switches pages or drops a website when I am typing in a text box

    When I am typing in Safari in a text box, it will often jump to another page or drop the current website.  I can do these operations without any problem using FireFox.  I would appreciate any help in fixing this problem.
    Thanks -

    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, try troubleshooting extensions and third party plug-ins.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that off if there are any installed. Quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn extensions back on then uninstall one a time to test.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • Chinese characters show up as white boxes when doing captions

    I am using Premiere Pro CC 2014 on a late 2013 MacBook Pro. I am trying to add Traditional Chinese subtitles to my video. I have imported a .dfxp file and added it to the timeline on V2 above my video track on V1. I have rendered the timeline. I have activated the closed captioning display. When I view the .dfxp file in the Captions Window, I can see the Chinese characters in the text boxes with their associated in and out points on the timeline. THE PROBLEM: IN THE PROGRAM MONITOR WINDOW, THE CHINESE CHARACTERS SHOW UP AS WHITE BOXES INSTEAD OF THE CHINESE CHARACTERS.
    I have added all of the available Chinese fonts from Adobe Typekit. I have restarted Premiere to see if adding these fonts did anything to help. It did not. My question: how can I get the Chinese characters to appear instead of the white boxes?

  • Have created multiple itunes libraries but when asked to choose a particular one only a single library shows up???

    Have created multiple itunes libraries but when asked to choose a particular one only a single library shows up???

    Unless you or your software moved or deleted the files from iTunes on your PC, they're still there. Time to go hunting. I don't know where iTunes stores its files on a default installation of a Windows Vista box, but I'd look in your documents folder for something containing "music" in its title. Before you do *anything* to or with the folder, copy it to a safe location. That way if something you're doing messes it up, you've got clean files with which you can work. Make sure you can see all the files in Windows Exploder by first checking your folders settings. By default Windows often hides important system files.

  • Some of my contact names are not appearing when they text message me.  They are just showing up as their numbers. I have them saved in my phone so i am not really sure why their names aren't showing up when they message me?

    I have this identical problem.  For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad.  Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something.  Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads.  I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time)  Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc.  There still hasn't been a solution.
    Any help would be appreciated.
