Random responses on keyboard - seems too sensitive, or not at all

My iphone 5 has been unusable for texts and emails as its keyboard is simultaneoulsy too sensitive, or dead in certain areas so that as you type the message doesn't come out right and/or it suddenly gets deleted. If I turn it off for awhile it settles down - but anyone else experiencing this?

My iphone shuts off randomly and the button is too sensitive. Like I don't even press the lock button and it shuts off. This happened after the 7.1 update. It's on the iphone 5.

My iphone shuts off randomly and the button is too sensitive. Like I don't even press the lock button and it shuts off. Also when my finger barely rubs over the lock button, it shuts off too. This happened after the 7.1 update. It's on the iphone 5. Someone help me. I just want to fix this. Maybe if it's possible I can disable the lock button.

The lock button does not turn OFF the iPhone. It will give you a screen with the option to turn OFF the iPhone. Possibly the battery is faulty. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple store for free battery diagnostic testing and evaluation.

Iphone 6 keyboard / screen too sensitive

I've had my iphone 6 for 3 days and it's incredibly buggy.
I can't type in passwords because the keyboard types different letters / multiple other letters, certain sections of the screen seem to be dead and unresponsive and the swipe is temperamental.
I've reset the phone
I've restored to factory settings
and I've erased the phone and set up as a new phone and turned off reachability.
None of this has worked. Any other suggestions or shall I just take it to the genius bar?
Thanks

Before restore, the recommended steps are to restart, see if it's cured, then reset, see if it's cured, then restore, see if it's cured, then restore as new, see if it's cured, then take it to Apple.

Hi,
I think this article explain it:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/excel/bubble-and-scatter-charts-in-power-view-HA104017427.aspx
Tip Pick a category that doesn’t have too many values. If the category has more than 2,000 values, you see a note that the chart is “showing representative sample” rather than all the categories.

I am trying to log into my college website that uses Mozilla and get this msg: CPIP Notification: The system 'gapps' is responding too slowly or not at all, please try again after a short wait.

I have not any trouble logging into my school gmail account or Moodle until yesterday and for some reason now I keep getting this weird message. I am an online student and must have this working. Any ideas?

Your university runs Luminis. CPIP is part of the single sign on between Luminis -- your school's portal -- and an external system. However, sometimes things can go awry. This is purely an issue between the portal and the external system -- not your browser. As a Luminis admin, my advice to you is to escalate this to your school's help desk.

My keyboard suddenly became too sensitive iPhone 5

My phone was OK but suddenly the keyboard became too sensitive I press space and gives me 2 spaces provocking a dot and it's almost impossible to write anything. Is this a software issue or should I take the phone to the apple store? I already exchanged phone once due to issues on the previous one....I'm noticing that the quality is really diminishing since the first iphones... I had iphones 1,2,3 and 4 with great build but the 5 is a lemon and we have 3 at home always with problems.

Mac mouse is too sensitive. Anyone know how to relax it?

Mac wireless mouse is too sensitive and jumps around ahead of me. Anyone know how to slow it down?

I had the same problem, with a new iMac: I was getting a lot of random scrolling, in the middle of editing work, and it was very annoying.
Contacted Apple and they told me to do an SMC (?) reset, which changed nothing.
I then realized that the problem was from an over-sensitive Magic Mouse. Many users seem to complain about this over-sensitivity, especially for newer computers.
So, a while ago, I took the following advice the website at the end of this post.
Control the touch-sensitive area of this mouse with the free app MagicPrefs (not clear why Apple does not provide something this useful):
download it from http://magicprefs.com/ and install
then go to its Preferences
in the new window that opens, click on Configure Scrolling, at the bottom right
you will then see the sensitive area of your mouse
click and drag to reduce that area
I had found that especially touching the edges of the mouse start the random scrolling
so, I made the touch-sensitive area for scrolling very small, and in the top-middle of the mouse, about where the scroll-wheel would be on a normal mouse.
Hope this saves you all a lot of frustration.
P.S. I learned about MagicPrefs from one of these frustrated people

Logitech bluetooth mouse too sensitive

Hello!
Well, I have a bluetooth, Logitech Notebook mouse. I'm not sure of the exact model number, but I believe it's the V270, as in this mouse:
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/downloads/software/US/EN,crid=1792,contentid=1 1016,osid=9
I linked to the driver "download" page - that is, if there was one. True, it works just fine with OS X's built in drivers, but it's way too fast. I have moved the mouse sensitivity to the second-to-lowest point in the OS X mouse prefs pane, but it's far too fast and imprecise. If I move it to the lowest point, it's far far too slow. WIthout a logitech driver, I'm kinda stuck between having a bluetooth mouse that's too sensitive, and a Microsoft USB mouse that's a bit uncomfortable (a bit too big). My Powerbook didn't come with a mouse.
Speaking of which, I have a PowerBook 15" 1.67 G4 model, running OS 10.4.8, with built in bluetooth. I have it sitting on top of my 3/4" inch thick desk - made out of particleboard - and the mouse on the tray just below. the mouse is less than a foot from the PowerBook's optical drive, to the lower right, so's probably not an issue with bad reception.
Does anyone have an idea of how to lower sensitivity? A third-party plugin? A terminal command? Automator? Something?
Thanks a bunch,
-Dan

Woah, that was fast!
Yes, I've tried that download. It seems to be looking for a USB connection, such as one of those mice with a USB transmitter. It says "No Logitech Device Found"
That's the problem.
Both Macupdate and the logitech site link to the same program, BTW.
I'll look into Steermouse and USB overdrive, but again, No USB connection at all, since it connects directly to the built-in-USB card.
Thanks for the fast response,
-Dan
Oooh! Look at that! It's snowing! Again! (sigh....)
I'm ready for spring now....

Keyboard Cord too short

The USB connection cord on my keyboard is too short to connect to the back of the iMac from the underside of the desk. I suppose I could get a wireless keyboard, but it seems wasteful not to use the keyboard that came with the computer if the only problem is a short cord. Is there such a thing as a USB extension cord?
(This would also solve the problem of using a wired mouse on the right side of my iBook G4 which has it's USB ports on the left side. It has no Bluetooth built in and I keep knocking out the little Bluetooth stick that goes in a USB port.)
Thanks!

A shopping follow up in case anyone else with the same problem reads this thread:
I had trouble finding a USB extension cord at Office Depot, Staples, and Radio Shack. They have them but not with the right connections at the ends. Be sure you look for one that says A/A , A to A , or A Male to A Female. What the stores here stock were almost all A/B which is what you want to connect a camera or a printer to a USB port on a computer. One salesman sold me an A/B and a separate B/A adapter, but the keyboard didn't like that, no response. I ended up ordering the right cable from an online company -- Cables to Go -- for much less $$ than any of the cables at a retail store.

Shake too sensitive?

Is there any way to deal with an iPad 2 whose "shake" sensor is too sensitive?
Simply typing on it is enough to trigger a "shake" response which undos what you just typed.
I am not asking about how to disable the shake sensor, but how to adjust it to make it less sensitive to unintended invocation.
Evidently, it has been this way out-of-the-box (ie, a few months), but the person using it didn't realize that it was not normal until they were typing on mine.

Wow. I did not even know that there was a shake to undo. Learn soething every day. But i notice your profile says you are on 4.3. It may be that they tweaked that with the more recent software upgrades.

Use Trackpad to zoom in and out - Too sensitive in Safari 4

Hi, I just installed Safari 4 three days ago. Without changing any settings, now I found out that when I use trackpad to zoom in/out the font, it responses too sensitive than it did in previous Safari. It jumps up/down at least two levels every time I try to adjust the font size. It is not that controllable anymore.
Has anyone else noticed this? How do I fix this? Thanks!

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
I have the same problem on my MacBook Pro. The zoom feature is way too sensitive for my liking, however, there is no way at the moment to control it. As this is a Beta version, these oddities will occur. Hopefully, when Safari 4 is released in final version (no date yet announced) this problem will be fixed.
As I previously did, let Apple know what you are experiencing with the trackpad via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple. If you want to go back to Safari 3, use the Uninstaller that's included in the Safari 4 Downloads package. This is the only safe way to go back to Safari 3.

Some keys becoming way too sensitive

Hello - 9105 pearl user here
Have had my bb several months now but these past few weeks have noticed that a couple of keys have become way too sensitive - the 0 and the 2 keys which are adjacent to each other down the middle of the phone if that helps.
forever when texting these two keys will double key at the slightest touch - very annoying with the 0 as it puts a full stop in followed by a space. It also doesnt help that my passkey has both these numbers in and i have to be extra careful when keying this in !
The phone been fine for 6 months or so but I can't seem to stop this happening. Have removed battery and altered key rate but has no effect
anyone else had this or got any ideas ?!?
cheers

hello,
the 0 key and the 2 key are not adjacent to each other. Please check:
that being said, I suggest you go to your carrier helpdesk and have your device changed while you still have a warranty.

Too sensitive

When Im using the pen tool in illustrator Im finding that its too sensitive. For example when I add or select a point quite often I will move point, or the bezier curves will move or the entire path will move slightly. It seems to be very hyper sensitive. Im using a wacom intuos and I have tried all different settings but still seems to be very fiddly. I cant get anything done because it frustrates me too much. Using the mouse is ok its only with the wacom i have this problem. Also is thee a way to set my mouse pad to zoom. I can do this in photoshop and its very handy but cant find a way in illustrator. Im using macbook pro.

It's in the selection panel of the prefs.
Have you considered that the Wacom driver may also be broken. I have a Wacom as well and mine also won't work well in certain cirsumstances.
See for instance this post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4838792#4838792

Macbook touchpad too sensitive

I have a Macbook Pro running all the latest software (i.e. patches are all up to date). Since I purchased the Macbook I've noticed that the touchpad is way too sensitive. I'm often using it without a mouse so having the touch turned on is nice, but it is so sensitive it is constantly clicking when I don't want it to, no matter how soft I try to use the pad.
I can't seem to find a way to adjust the sensitivity.
Anyone know how to do this, or do I need to turn off touch-to-click options?
Thanks!
Clark

1. System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad
     Double-click speed
    Try adjusting the speed a bit lower.
2. Shutdown the computer.
    Clean the Trackpad with a dry microfiber cloth.
