Did you try to reboot the computer?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Keeps typing double letters in when entering the password for my Mac Username.

Macbook Pro just started typing double letters ONLY when typing the password for my Mac User sign up. It only does it for the area that I need to enter the password, and even types fine for the username area that's on the same screen. Even tried typing each one (which shows a double type) and backacing each couble letter, but it still says invalid. Need to get this fixed for work tomorrow.. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Try resetting your Apple ID password.
Apple - My Apple ID
Then restart your Mac.

Safari keeps typing double letters

I'm using Safari for Windows (5.1.1) and it keeps typing double letters in web forms, etc. - although it does stop when I reboot the browser. Any help will be much appreciated.

Solution Found:
The culprit was Keyscrambler, an anti-keylogging prog made by QFX Software.
When Keyscrambler was active, the double-letter thing happened when typing into any Safari form fields. Disabling Keyscrambler solved the problem.
I discovered this accidentally by going to XP's Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Keyboards, and looking at the driver details for my Logitec USB keyboard. The Keyscrambler driver was listed there so I thought there might be a connection. And there was.
I see a number of Safari double-letter complaints on the web and your particular reason for this fault may be different to mine. I've notified QFX about the fault.

Why does the "Computer Name" sometimes change?

                Not a big deal, just curious, why does the "computer name" sometimes change?
                 The name will be the same, but it will add a number....2,3,4...I always change it back so it doesn't have a numeric value next to it, but just wondering why it happens.
                                        Thanks.

Can also occur after your computer is put to sleep and then wakes back up or after your computer is force quit and immediately restarted. Sometimes the router 'believes' the computer is still connected when it actually isn't. When that computer re-establishes a connection the router 'tells' the computer that a computer with that name already exists so it has to change its name. By default a computer running MacOS adds a number (or increments its number) when this happens.

Why do the computer speakers on my hp satellite p755-s5215 still play when i have headphones in?

When I plug in headphones or a line out to speakers, the computer speakers still play. Every other computer I have ever owned automatically shut off the computer speakers when headphones or a line out were plugged in. Is there any way to fix this?

I had this same problem until this morning. my speaker wasnt working so i tried inserting and rmoving the headphone jack about 50 times, then i sprayed air into the socket and it didnt work so eventually i bought a bluetooth protable speaker so i could listen to music in the shower and i tried it out for the first time this morning, then as i left my house double tapped the home screen and my volume bar was there, and it works fine now, i reccomend you try connecting and disconnecting from a bluetooth device or go to a shop and try out a bluetooth speaker and it might just fix your phone

Why does the computer reboot when I plug in my creative ZEN?

I have used this mp3 player in computers before. I am on a new computer. I installed the creative hardware, but the second I plug my mp3 player into the computer it reboots and won't load up until I unplug it again. I know it's not an issue with the USB port because I tried more than one and checked to make sure they worked with other things. Why won't the computer read the mp3 player without restarting?

More information:
The last event before it shuts down:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000050 (0xb5a9f897, 0x0000000, 0xf89788e4, 0x00000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini08009-09.dmp.
Can I stop this "bugcheck" from happening again?

Typing Double Letters

When I type, double letters often show up... any ideas for a fix?
I thought it was the microsoft keyboard I was using that was just getting old, but I just bought a new aluminum keyboard two days ago, and the problem is still happening... and, I installed the keyboard firmware update, too.

Well, it's a bit drastic, but it got fixed for me.
My Finder started crashing and restarting every ten seconds or so... couldn't find a fix, and had to go through a complete Erase & Install.
No more double letters, though, knock on wood. If they ever come back, I'll let you know what I installed to make it happen again.

Keyboard intermittently typing double letters and numbers

My Pavilion laptop intermittently types double letters. I'm running windows 8.1 and the unit is about 6 weeks old. It has done this eever since I got it. I've look at other links to problems similar and checked the double key rate. Also I've pluged in a generic keyboard and it appears not to do it.
Any specific suggestions?
Thanks

This is usually an easy problem to fix with HP laptops
HP keyboards are bit different that what MS default settings expect. Usually this can be fixed in keyboard settings. In Windows 7 click the orb, in windows 8 bring up the menu OR just tap the Windows key if its on a keyboard
type in "keyboard" and click to keyboard [settings]
You may find the default Repeat dalay is the lowest possible setting. This rate is too short for the sensitivity of HP keyboards as the key signals down before its fully pressed, and doesn't stop until its halfway up. Very clean, accurate keypress, mistaken for a hold.
Turn the delay up (Long) and this should stop it.
(I tried for weeks to find this in BIOS, but as of Windows 7 its now controlled by the OS)

Why does the computer auto rotate pictures when I download from email?

I am downloading pictures from email that were taken on my iPhone, and the computer is rotating the pictures automatically.
When I proceed to post those pictures online, they are being spun back sideways again.

Why is the computer keeps stopping every time i get an e-mail then resumes

every time I get an e-mail the computer freezes then pings telling me I have an e-mail then continues on with what ever I am doing. I can not find out how to disconnect the e-mail alerts.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Typing double letters...skipping double lines?

I'm using a new iPad Air 2 with the Apple Keyboard. Often it double types letters and skips two lines and backspaces two spaces, etc. Anyone else have this problem.
Also, what does it mean when I can't get the cursor to settle on the Log-In box...it takes forever to get it to work right. And navigating this comment box isn't exactly easy. If this isn't due to needing to replace the AA batteries in my keyboard, do you know what could be the cause of these problems?

Thanks for your response.
Yes, it's double typing everywhere, not just here. But I do have a lot of problems here and don't want to come back. Do you know of any other forums that are good for discussing apple stuff? I had to do a copy/paste to post this comment as it wouldn't let me type in the comment box.
Hopefully nobody will think I'm rude if I just can't get back in here for one reason or another having to do with apple's software problems.

Heat!!! :( how and why is the computer so hot

how can i fix this

The reason that it is hot is because you have a hot i7 CPU in a small enclosed box. A small fan with radiator will help, but it is limited. Check out this Intel website: http://ark.intel.com/products/43560?wapkw=i7+620m You will see that under the specs the Tjunction is rated at 105 degrees Centigrade. Which is hot enough to boil water! You can do better with a larger box and more space, but not with a laptop. With my laptop, I normally use an external monitor, mouse and keyboard. Keep the laptop on a hard flat surface and don't notice the heat.

Hi, I have backed up 2 IMACs and one Mac Book Pro but for some reason, the 3rd IMAC come up with this problem: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Anthony’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1). Why? The computer system is up to date and I have had no issue with the other computers, just this one.
Many thanks

Double letters

My iphone keeps typing double letters and doesn't always respond when I tap on icons.

I've got the exact same problem. Have had a 3GS since it came out no problems. Purchased a new iPhone 4 yesterday and cannot type anything, texts, emails, notes, even my pin code double clicks but doesn't appear until you type the next letter... thereby getting two or more of the same "touched" number/letter... icons sometimes need more than one/two taps before it registers... swiping doesn't always work and whilst typing if you press the backspace/delete button it continues to delete until you press space or another key... it's driving me absolutely nuts... the only reason I'm writing on here is because it's too early to call the store where I purchased the phone to speak to someone there... infuriating... ultra sensitivity this cannot be... I've read too many other posts in forums to say that this looks like an inherent problem... I loved my 3GS and it took all my resistence to succumb to iphone 4 as I want to use FaceTalk with my son in Thailand... had 3GS had such an app I wouldn't have changed for the world!! Hindsight, what a great thing!
