When I type my text gets highlighted and then deleted.

I am having a problem with typing. When I type fast my text gets highlighted and then deleted or typed over. Im not sure what is wrong. I think it is either a trackpad or keyboard. Any help be great!!

The trackpad on the MB and MBP have a larger surface with more sensors than on previous laptops. As a result, when we type we have other fingers, thumbs etc. making contact with the trackpad and the trackpad receives input we don't intend. It happens to me quite often. So I hit Command + Z to undo and reposition the cursor. We need to train ourselves so that we keep our hands, palms, thumbs or other unnecessary body parts away from the trackpad while typing.

Every time I type something into my laptop it highlights and then deletes, how do I stop this from happening????

Every time I type a sentence or even a couple of letters, it automatically highlights and then deletes. My trackpad also seems extra sensitive and every time th mouse hovers over something, without clicking it will pick it up or highlight any text, how do i get this to stop?????

you need to turn automatic downloads off - its under settings>itunes & app store

Text getting highlighted and erased by itself

Big Problem with my Mac Book Pro. The cursor moves back as I am typing
text. Sometimes, text will be highlighted and erased.

Peter: I know this will sound silly but it's happened to me - the trackpad on my MBP is very sensitive and if I'm typing quickly I'll sometimes 'drag' my thumb (especially my right thumb as that's the one I hit the spacebar with) over and on the trackpad causing the cursor to move. You may want to consciously keep your thumbs higher when you type and see if this solves the problem.
Just a suggestion...

When I type fi in InDesign, the f is deleted. If I hit backspace, the f comes back, but the i is deleted. I even tried to copy the text I need from Word. When I paste it, the f is deleted. I've restarted InDesign and tried a different keyboard.

Try turning off Ligatures in your style.

I have a new keyboard and two of the keys are inverted when I use my Mac -- but not on the Mac at the Apple store. The @ is where the should be and visa-versa. That is, when I type the @ I get and when I type the I get @. I am in Français numérique.

Is it failing and giving you an error message?
Is it happening with all contacts or just one? It could be that you have an incorrect number or the number you're sending it to might not be able to receive incoming SMS

Did you know that Verizonwireless is saving your checking account information when you pay your bill by check and then making it part of your "MyVerizon"? This means of course if they get hacked that information could be compromised. What do you think of

Did you know that Verizonwireless is saving your checking account information when you pay your bill by check and then making it part of your "MyVerizon" without you adding it? This means of course if they get hacked that information could be compromised. What do you think of this?

Credit card and debit card and checking and savings information is encrypted so it is possible to be hacked, but the odds are greater to get hit by the Love Boat then to have a wide scale hack.
Oh yes they do happen, Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, Target and quite a few others. But in all the years I have paid my invoice with saved card information I never been hacked.
You use good passwords and the risk is minimal.
Good Luck

Hi,
The movie is probably MPEG format.
QuickTime Pro and iMovie cannot transcode audio contained in MPEG movies.
Try to convert with SimpleMovieX or MPEG Streamclip instead.

unfortunately the do_not_trust certificates might be a sign of unwanted software present on your pc that is intercepting secure network traffic. please go into the system control panel and uninstall programs like BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, SafeGuard or other software that sounds suspicious and didn't get installed by you intentionally.

Hi there,
When I inspect your site in browser tools, I'm getting 404 errors from your page:

In general, you are correct - but also your server does need to be properly configured (and those errors above lead me to think it may not be) to serve the file types that your uploading - but it could be something else entirely. Can you zip up your composition folder, upload it to your Creative Cloud files, set it to share, and then post a link here so I can download it? If you'd rather not share it publicly, can you PM me with a link to your composition files?
Thanks,
Joe
