Is this for every font you try?

  • How do i fix my keyboard its typing symbols

    Please assist me in my quest to fix my keyboard. I am currently typing from alternative computer. Just a few hours ago, my keyboard started typing in symbols and Latin instead of letters and not Latin. I did not do anything. I did not reset my language. WHAT IS GOING ON? HOW CAN I FIX IT?

    I bought an iMac yesterday, and this morning it's doing the same thing. I've been asked to take it back to the store tomorrow, which is such a pain.
    I have also found that in safari it will download the page instead of opening it, unless I open in a new window. It does the same thing in all apps, but only after you've been typing a few sentences, which all appear ok. I have tried disabling the alt key, which did not work, and checked languages etc, and all set to English....
    Any thoughts? Thankfully my macbook is ok, otherwise I'd be really stuck!!

    Hey skyshade13,
    Thanks for the question. The following article outlines how to restore a previous iTunes library should there be no content after updating. While the article does not speak specifically to your symptoms, attempting the steps by utilizing the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder may resolve your issue.

  • How do I hide the keyboard while typing an email?

    On the iPad you can hide the keyboard anytime while typing.  I cannot see a way to hide the keyboard when typing a mail message. I saw a post saying you close, save, go to your saved messaes and open the message again - too time consuming.  There is a fix on the jailbroken site, but I dont want to jailbreak the phone.  There must be a way to hide the keyboard in a mail messge.  In a text message you can.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Edit
    I CAN, but not fully for a preview, as the text box goes up completely after 80 odd characters on the iPhone.
    So, now i cannot see a previous message for reference.
    Apple needs to incorporate a  'hide keyboard' button

  • 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.

  • Typing IPA Symbols in Mac OS X 10.5

    Hello everyone, I am new here, and I've been searching everywhere to find out where to post this question, so I really apologize if this is not exactly the correct place for it!!
    I specifically have Microsoft Word for MacBook, but I guess this question could really apply to any word processing application on a MacBook...
    I am a Linguistics student and I need to type symbols in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) format. Would anybody know how to type such symbols?? I've looked through all the fonts in MS Word and none of them have the symbols I am looking for. Does anyone know if these symbols even automatically exist on the MacBook, or if they must be downloaded (and where)?
    Thanks so much in advance--and even if no one else has MS Word, even if you might know how to type these symbols in another word processor, I'd still be happy to know how you did this (maybe I might also have this same application as you do and not even know it because I'm so computer-illiterate!!

    Hi Rylan,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
    You're correct in assuming this may not be exactly the right place to post this question, but I sympathise with the difficulty you experienced in finding a 'right place.'
    There are some IPA fonts available on the web for download, but many, if not all of the IPA symbols (eg. dʒ and ŋ ) can be found in the Unicode encoded fonts on your Mac.*
    Most may not be available directly from the keyboard. To locate those that are, got to Syatem Preferences > International > Input menu and show the Keyboard Viewer. While you're there. check the box beside Character Palette to add it to the selection. And if you do not have US Extended selected as one of your keyboard choices, check the box beside this keyboard layout as well.* The Close the International pane to exit System Preferences.
    If it's not already in the menu bar, these actions will add the Input menu toward the right end of your menu bar. It will appear as a small flag corresponding to your currently selected keyboard.
    Keyboard viewer will show you the characters available directly from the keyboard, using the letter, symbol and number keys and using these keys and one or more of the modifier keys (shift, option, commant and ctrl).
    Character Palette will show all of the characters available in the selected palette. You can drag and drop these characters from the palette into a word processor document.* Ŋ is character #406, ŋ is #407.
    Regards,
    Barry
    *AppleWorks users note: AppleWorks cannot recognize or use characters using Unicode encoding, and characters ooutside the standard Roman set cannot be dragged into an AppleWorks document. Attempting to enter text using a Unicode keyboard layout will cause AppleWorks to immediately crash. You can have a Unicode layout listed in your input menu, and can use it with other applications, but you must use a Roman encoded KB layout with AppleWorks.

  • Keyboard problems (typing like t3his7) *PLEASE HELP*

    Just a few hours ago my apple keyboard started typing like th7is4 or like why2 do8es my8 ke2yb8or8ad ty8pe like8 th7is
    It's only on the first line of letters though.
    I've tried everything from restarting my computer, rebooting it in safe mode, going to system preferences and turning off the keyboard and mouse.
    I've done a little research and they say it might have to do with something I pressed, I might have activated "NUMLOCK", but unfortunely my keyboard does not have "clear" or "NUMLOCK"
    PLEASE HELP!
    I have a iMac, with the aluminum wireless keyboard. Just bought a year ago running on 10.6.8.
    THANKS.

    If you have access to a usb keyboard, does not have to be a Mac kb, you could plug it in and check if it is just the kb, not something deeper.
    If the problem is the MB keyboard, you could try, with the MB turned off, jiggling the keys back and forth and generally treating it as if some keys are stuck. Beyond that, you could look into replacing the kb.
    Good luck.

  • Keyboard keys typing themselves after water spillage

    Hello,
    I spilled water on my wireless mac keyboard.  I have left it upside down to air dry for a few days but when I put the batteries in and start it up the keyboard keeps typing itself and won't let me do anything.  Can I do anything to save the keyboard?
    Thank you
    kiera

    I have been letting it dry longer as suggested perhaps not long enough yet, I tried it and it has stopped typing by itself.  The middle row of keys and the space bar is working but nothing else.  Are the rest likely to come back or is it done for?

    My wireless keyboard is typing the wrong characters and as a result I cannot log into my profile and check the system preferences?

    That mapping is determined by the settings of your computer.  Go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and make sure that only US is present on the list (or whatever language you normally use).
