Some weird things that I cannot search on the internet

Sometimes when I type there is an underline, which then I have to press return twice to submit the text. However, after a while of pressing random keys, my mac is back to normal.
Another thing is that sometimes I use finder, I press a key to find a specific file/folder, a bar appears for me to enter the full name of that file/folder, then I press enter and the file/folder appears.
Anyone knows what these are and how to toggle these options on/off?

Well I figured it out myself which is using another language input will cause this to happen.

    Check to make sure cellular data is not disabled in settings. If it's on, try re-setting the phone. If that doesn't fix it, call AT&T.

  • My Ipad2 won't turn off.  I've tried the reset method,  holding both buttons down for at least 10 seconds, but this doesn't work. I'm on version 5.1.1 and all other functions work except that I cannot get onto the internet via wi-fi either.  Help ??

    My Ipad2 won't turn off.  I have tried the reset method by holding both buttons down for at least 10 seconds, but this doesn't work.  I can't get onto the internet via wi-fi either (don't have a 3G card fitted).  All other functions seem to be working OK including charging. Not had this problem before, but I recently upgraded software to 5.1.1 so is there a bug in there somewhere?

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • I have a macbook (late 2011). I have a yahoo and gmail act.'s configured wrong in mailbox. Every time I attempt to send, the email comes back stating that yahoo cannot send with the server. I have changed things around to no avail. Please advise.

    I have a macbook pro (late 2011) OS X Yosemite 10.10. I have 2 acct.’s set up in mailbox, Yahoo and Gmail, but it will not send. The message comes back stating that Yahoo cannot ‘send using the server’....I have manipulated things around but to no avail. Both acct.’s receive, but will not send. Can someone provide some answers? Thanks.

    Hi whineyfromleessummit, 
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you're not able to send email from Yahoo or Gmail on your MacBook Pro. 
    There could be several causes of the behavior. I would start with the troubleshooting steps in the "Mail Connection Doctor shows one or more red dots in the account Status column" section of this article:
    OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
    This article contains a variety of steps that can help resolve an issue like the one you're seeing. 
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?

    I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?

    Welcome!
    Only one variant of the PowerMac G4 could use the faster Airport Extreme Card. The rest used the original Airport card that is pretty slow.
    To get fast wireless without buying more than one thing, consider this:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Edimax/EW7722IN/
    It goes in an available PCI slot
    There are USB solutions also. However, all PowerMac G4 towers had only slower USB 1.1 ports, so any USB wireless adaptor can only run at about wireless 'B" speeds (slow) unless you also install a PCI USB 2.0 adaptor card. Doing that would allow a USB wireless adaptor to run at its maximum rated speed. These items working together would accomplish that:
    USB wireless "dongle:"
    Newer Technology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b USB Adapter + Plug and play direct or with extension cradle
    USB PCI adaptor:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Popularity%7c1&Ne=5 000&N=7069&Ntt=USB+PCI
    Each approach has its advantages. The PCI wireless card is a one-piece solution that takes up no desk space. The USB2 card+USB2 Dongle gives you more fast ports for transferring date from other external USB devices (primarily cameras and external hard drives) at hugely faster rates than can the original ports. I have a USB 2 PCI card in my G4 tower strictly for transferring images from my digital SLR camera in a timely manner.

  • I get a message that my ipad and iphone cannot connect to the iTunes store. I have tried to sync books to my iPad and iphone and i get the message that I cannot connect to the iTunes store and thus cannot sync a book to my books app. Why?

    I get a message that my ipad 2 and iphone 5 cannot connect to the itunes store when I try to sync a book to my book app. Although, when I click "store" both are able to access the itunes store. Why is this? Also I tried to open a book that was synced and a message that I did not have enough memory to load this book popped up--when I know that I have well over 40gb of memory left in my ipad and over 16gb left in my iphone. The message that I cannot connect to the itunes store is strange that it offers no option and I have to hit OK to get out and use my ipad or iphone.

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
    If that doesn't solve it then what has worked for some people is going into Settings > General > Date & Time and changing the date to a few months (or maybe a year or two) in the future and then re-trying

  • Some programms cannot connect to the internet

    Hi!
    I have recently bought a new laptop with windows 8,1. Some of the programms that i mainly download from the internet and not from the store say that cannot connect to the internet. But i have internet... and all the other programms works correctly. I tried
    to switch off windows firewall and windows defender but the problem is the same. So what can i do about that?

    Some of the programms that i mainly download from the internet and not from the store say that
    cannot connect to the internet.
    Often that is just a misleading interpretation of "cannot do a DNS lookup fast enough to suit the program that wants one done" and further that the network topology is probably such that the program thinks it is on a LAN and therefore expecting
    LAN level response time (e.g. you have it connected to a router with a local address for your DNS server.)
    A workaround for such a scenario is making sure that the dnscache contains the full lookup that the program wants.  E.g. you can use  ipconfig /flushdns  then ping -n 1 -w 1 <problem hostname> then ipconfig /displaydns to see how much
    time you have to use it (e.g. look at the Time To Live values, which are given as seconds before the entry will be removed from the dnscache.)
    Good luck
