Typing at high speed causes double characters to not appear.

Photoshop (any version) has historically had an issue with typing speeds. If you type too fast, double letters will come out as single letters. The previous line would've looked like this: "If you type to fast, double leters wil come out as single leters"
This mainly happens when typing fast, and any of these conditions are met:
- the file is big
- you haven't restarted photoshop in a while
- you've been doing some work (lots of history states)
Basically, as soon as the memory fills up, Photoshop's responsiveness becomes pretty poor when you're typing.
I don't expect a solution for this, other than a patch/update, since this is an issue on any machine with any (performance) settings.
So basically, I'm just venting about something that's been bugging me for years and years, hoping for others to chime in on this too.
I realize Photoshop isn't a text editor, but it's pretty impossible for me to type everything in a text editor before I type it in Photoshop; it'd kill my workflow.
Cheers.
.edit: noticed the ticked "mark this discussion as a question" too late. Shouldn't be marked as a question.

Why would the OS drop events only to Photoshop?
We only have this problem in PS, not in any other program.
Even if the OS is dropping events to Photoshop, .... Photoshop might still be the problem, since it's the only program the OS is dropping event for, so why is that?
You don't really need a fast typist to reproduce this, just quickly press the same key two or more times.
You'll start to notice that sometimes Photoshop is "too busy" and just drops/ignores keypresses.
If you could reproduce this problem, I'm sure you would also come to the conclusion that Photoshop is dropping or ignoring events, you can just see Photoshop hang for a second because it's too busy, and that's when it happens...
Keep in mind Photoshop is running an a brand new, very powerfull computer with 16gb of RAM.
So I'm sure the computer is fast enough.
Is there anything I can do to help? I can easily reproduce the problem.
Can I send you some logfiles? Do you have a debug program for me to run?
Really, anything I can do, I would be happy to help.
Maybe I can run some profiler on the windows keyboard message queue to provide you with more information to see where the events get lost?
We are using CS4.
Are there minor updates we can install? If so, where can I find those?
I don't really want to get into the discussion wether this is a problem with OS or a problem with Photoshop, because really I don't know.
I'm convinced it is Photoshop, you're not,... we both have our opinions, but they mean nothing really.
What we need is cold hard proof, which means we need to debug/test this problem that is only occuring in Photoshop.
All I really know is we have a problem that only occurs in Photoshop, so that's why we're bothering you with this
Thanks in advance, and sorry for being such a difficult customer, but this is such an annoying problem.
It would really mean a lot to us if this would get resolved.

I owned an Apple Tv and since I upgrade my internet to higher speed my Apple Tv does not work. Please someone help.

In most scenarios you shouldn't need to forward ports, however if you need to, you may be best contacting your ISP.
As with most router issues, I would recommend that you contact your ISP with details of your problem (assuming that it was your ISP that provided it to you).
There are simply too many manufacturers with different software features and settings and often different names for such features and settings, that the best advice will likely come from those that are knowledgeable about your particular router.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports

How can I stop spam from someone called AT&T High Speed Internet? I do not know what the email address is.

I am receiving 100's of spam emails. They are all advertising different types of products but they all say they are from AT&T High Speed Internet. I have used the junk filter on them but it does not pick them up as junk. I have to do it manually each time. I have contacted my UVerse provider and they cannot assist because it is getting through Yahoo to Thunderbird. They say that it is a problem that I will have to have assistance from Thunderbird to resolve so that I can have this listed as junk and will not have to do this manually. I am at my wit's end. Please, please help me!

Yahoo has its own junk mail filter (Spamguard), which you should confirm is enabled:
* [https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mail/stop-spam-yahoo-mail-sln3227.html Mail Help | - SLN3227 - Stop spam in Yahoo Mail]
The significance of this is that marking messages as junk in Thunderbird probably isn't integrated with Yahoo's system, so Yahoo may not be getting trained to block them. You might need to go into Yahoo from time to time and mark accumulated junk as spam.
Separately, there are solutions for filtering spam on your computer as the mail is downloaded from Yahoo. Thunderbird has a built-in filter, as described here: [[Thunderbird and Junk / Spam Messages]]. However, if that isn't as effective you would like, there are third party products as well.

Neighbors Have High Speed Internet but Systems Says Not Available

Hello,
I have been trying for the past week to get High Speed Internet with Verizon. Two times I received an email saying… Although your line qualified for High Speed Internet service during the initial phases of the order process, unfortunately, we are unable to provide you with Internet access on your line ending in 0602 .
I live in a small subdivision on the outskirts of Colonial Beach, Virginia with approximately 500 homes.
I have two neighbors, one on each side of me i one would be the closest to the substation) and another neighbor about one block past my house.  The second neighbor drives past my house every day to get to their house.
I spoke with a local Verizon employee who told me the computer was turning down the High Speed Internet because of distance and that I needed to have someone at the local office, over-ride the automatic turn down so that it would be installed. After the second computer automated turn down, I spoke with Eric – he said to give the next tech this information – Acct Number XXXXXX Order Number XXXXX at the DSL Technical support so we could get this resolved. The DSL Technical support guy was NOT interested in obtaining the account number or Order number Eric gave and said either the Router was filled or I was too far from the Loop. I explained the neighbors and it still didnot seem to matter. He was foreign and we did seem to have a significant language barrier. He then transferred me back to Sales.
Over and over I requested to speak with the actual Local Office in Warsaw, VA so I could be given a reasonable explanation.   I spoke with a woman who said the two neighbors were closer to the loop than me. When I asked how this was possible if I am in the center of the two she said maybe it was because of a curve in the road? She also said she was the local office but was not able to tell me where that office was located so obviously it was not the actual "local" office.
How can I get someone to physically come out and determine why I cannot get High Speed Internet?  Who can I contact to make a formal complaint.
Thank you for any input.

Here, maybe, is a FAQ that explains why

Hi,
You can create a custom template using BI Publisher + RTF Template.

Characters ő and ű not appearing in the print of smartform.

Hi All,
There is a requirement where hungarian text needs to get printed in a smartform. The two characters ű and ő appear as # when the printout is taken from the smartform.The text that needs to be printed is actually hardcoded in the driver program and passed in the structure to the smartform.
Could it be like there is a printer problem or what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Gowthami SK

Hi,
The # character usually means that the character is not supported by the character set of the device type used to create the spool and print, Try creating a spool and print via windows and unicode device type SWINCF.

Sporadic high-speed fan behavior ––– removing battery solves problem?

Every so often, my fans will peg around 6,000rpm, even though the operating temp is around 120º – not nearly hot enough to trigger such fan action. I check Activity Monitor and nothing is hogging the CPU (Safari 5.0, kernel_task 3.3, pmTool 2.6, configd 2.4, etc. – these are pretty typical readings.) The % Idle is usually around 90%.
I just discovered that removing the battery solves the problem. Just one minute later, my fan speed is at 2003rpm.
It's driving me nuts, and (of course) when I take it to the Genius Bar, it won't replicate the problem.
Any ideas?

While I'm not sure what may be causing your sporadic fan behavior, running your MacBook Pro with the battery removed causes the system to significantly reduce the processor speed. That is probably why your system is running cooler with the battery removed... not because of any fault with the battery itself:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2332
You may want to reset your System Management Controller (SMS). The link below provides the details. Among the things this will address are fans that run at high speed although the computer is not experiencing heavy usage and is properly ventilated. Be sure to follow the instructions specific for your machine as they vary slightly from model to model.

Hourly disconnects from High Speed Internet Enhanced

Hello all, I have verizon high speed internet enhanced and have not had any problems at all with the internet since I had a verizon tech. install it. However, since 4 days ago my actiontec GT740 WGB router has been constantly disconnecting from the internet on an hourly basis. It happens up to 5 times an hour, with the disconnectiong lasting about 10-15 seconds. Now, this may not provide much of a problem, but I bought the internet basicly for my xbox 360. I cannot complete full games online versus other players because of these interuptions 'causes me to lose connection and ultimately lose the game.
Verizon HSI Enhanced download - 10.1mbps
Verizon HSI Enhanced upload - 0.8mbps
I have only had my verizon for a few weeks now, but up until now it has been working extremely well. I'm a bit disappointed now, because I have read and heard of this problem, and was hoping not to encounter it.

Hello,
When you notice the disconnect, are the router lights turned off? Outside of playing games on the XBOX does your computer lose a connection as well?
Please send me a private message if you still need assistance.

How do I use the High Speed Data Logger with multiple I/O devices?

I am using the High Speed Data Logger vi to read from a 16 channel A/D card (NI PCI-MIO-16E). The project may require more than 16 channels. How can I use High Speed Data Logger to read from two A/D cards? Will it be able to write the data to one file?

The High Speed Data Logger vi will not acquire and right to multiple DAQ boards at the same time without modification. LabVIEW is more than capable of doing this what you are trying to do, but you will have to modify the code.

First uninstall your antivirus. Use only a vendor-provided uninstaller or uninstallation instructions. Never remove files by hand. Never use an "app zapper".
If that doesn't fix it, take it back to Apple for service.

Ideapad Flex 2-14D: Fan constantly running at high speed: Windows 8.1

Hello. I have an Ideapad Flex 2-14D running Windows 8.1 and actual drivers.The fan runs constantly at high speed. So I have not to complaint about overheating, but instead I have to complaint about getting cold knees. Is there a possiblity to adjust fan speed? Best regards Eleichstetten

I've tried SpeedFan and looked through all the Lenovo programs, but there's no way that I can find for tuning the fan. My ghetto hack is to limit the CPU to 70% max (with Passive as the cooling scheme), which keeps the fan well under control.
Fan adjustment should be a standard feature in 2015. It's not expensive and definitely not difficult to implement.

Satellite C50-A-1CK double characters appear when typing

All
I have a brand new Satellite C50-A-1CK which is perfect for my needs EXCEPT I continually get double characters appearing on screen when typing which is:
A. VERY frustrating
B. Wasting a lot of time as I have to keep correcting words to remove the duplicate characters.
Please does anyone know of a fix for this? It can affect any key on the keyboard and it doesn't matter if I type slow or quick, press the keys firmly or as light as possible.
Have checked for firmware updates but none available.
Thanks in advance!

The Touchpad issue you have I mayy be able to help with....
It sounds like you have the "Enable Edge Swipes" set on. This will bring up Windows 8 menu on the right hand side of the screen when ever you swipe from the right hand side of the keypad towards the middle.
Yours is a different model to mine but assuming the setting is in the same place then:
open Control Panel
Open Hardware and Sound
Under Devices and printers click "Mouse"
In the "mouse properties" window click on Device Settings
Highlight the touchpad and click the "settings" button below it
De-select "Enable Edge Swipes"
Hope this helps

Can I convert an old IMAC computer with OS 9 operating system from being "dial up" to high speed?

Can anyone tell me how I can convert my old IMAC from "dial up" to go on the internet as high speed? I have an ISP provider for a more modern computer that I own, but I really would like to use my old IMAC on the internet as well? How can I make it compatible with high speed internet? If I try to go on line, the internal modem "dials up". How can I change that and cause it to communicate with my external high speed modem?

Any iMac can connect by ethernet to the router.
You'll need to disable the modem and set up the network config.
Too long since I used OS9 to guide you on that bit; ask in the correct forum;
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/classic_mac_os or;
https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/imac_powerpc

Typing at high speed causes double characters to not appear.
