Whenever I type an "s", "f" jumps behind it and iTunes starts up. This bizarre event is in MAIL and Pages. How do I fix this?

Whenever I type the letter 'a' the letter 'f'shows up behind it and iTunes starts up. This happens everywhere. It is so bizarre, I have no idea how to remedy it. I have tried restarting mail, then restarting my iMac but nothing has worked. I know it's a software glitch but I have no idea where to go. Any help will be appreciated

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Have you tried rebooting the iPad?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
You may want to consider restoring the iOS software on the device, if rebooting doesn't help.

When I type it comes out in weird letters and symbols how do I get it back to English?!

When I type k it comes out as an apple logo symbol! And a lot of the letters just come out like this 'ÅÎÓÉ' etc
Please help ASAP!

The only way that I currently know of to remove old and invalid email addresses on the iPad is to restore back to factory defaults, which I assume that you won't want to do. You could try leaving feedback for Apple, and maybe in a future update we'll be able to edit them : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Everything appears in reverse that is white type on a black page how can I fix this?

Using Acrobat reader 11.0.07 on a MacBook Air running 10.9.5. Everything appears as white type on a black page. It prints correctly but I cannot view it as anything but a negative. How can I resolve this?

First thing I would try is to update to 11.0.09.
Does the same thing happen if you open the PDF in Adobe Reader?

Whenever I right-click to open a link in a new tab, it opens it in a new window instead. How do I fix this?

The other night, I opened up a new window to do some school work, then accidentally saved that page instead of my usual page when I closed out, causing me to lose all my tabs. Since this happened, all the links I open in Firefox open in a new window, even though my settings are set that it should open in new tabs, and even when I right-click and hit "Open in a New Tab." Links from places besides Firefox (like MSN and such) still open in new tabs. What can I do to fix this?

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

In 10.0.7 have problem with Title "Page Type" Remaining on Title Page Editing area. How do I fix this?

This problem remains even though I keep removing it....every time I add new Title to the clip, it adds the Page Type to All my titles in the project (edit) area. I use several in my film clips. How do I fix it?

Maybe you know, but just to be clear, you can get rid of it (one by one) - by editing the "Name" field under the Info tab on the title clip
But please make a suggestion - http://www.apple.com/feedback/finalcutpro.html
I've requested they take this strange feature away as well.
I'm still trying to imagine how anyone could find it useful - who cares what the "type" of the title is, enough to show it at the expense of the title itself?

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

Well, you can try easing the shift key up with something thin but flexible (credit card sort of thing) but if the contacts below are stuck you may need to get it seen to by an authorised repairer.
If you can borrow a keyboard (a PC one will probably work as long as the password is alpha-numeric with no special characters) you can at least get in to backup your HD before going for repair.

How can I change my search engine? Used to have Google and now Bing is brought up whenever I type a few words on the address tab...

I recently installed a video player software and it changed my search engine to Bing automatically and I hate it! Would like to have Google as my main search engine whenever I type a few words on the address part... Thanks!

Hi,
First, close all the apps who are running in the same time.
You can desactivate few "notification" who drain the battery so.
You can put off the auto configure of the hour.
You can turn off bluetooth or wifi or both when no using.
I suggest you to disable the automatic sync with mail accounts and see if the problem goes away. Put in in manually.
when you go away from the mail app, it is still trying to finish to sync even in sleep/lock mode and the battery is dead within hours. Also, you can close the mail app.
In few weeks, an update will arrive with corrections.
Have a nice day.
