Why, when entering text, I lose focus frequently and get the warning sound

When writing text, (here, in blogs or any text editors), the object frequently loses its focus and I get the warning sound as I enter text in an area that does not accept this type of input. 
As I write this, the bars at the top of the page frequently changes from gray to white, and as I try to write the next letter I get awarning sound; to continue entering text, I need to click on the Multi-Touch trackpad to regain focus. I am able to enter only a few characters before I get the warning sound again.          
any suggestions?

Problem resolved by a genius at the local Apple Store.
The problem was caused by static electricity interacting with the track pad. He placed some srips behind the pad and problem resolved.

  • Why when i text on my iphone, i dont get my message there, but they come up on my ipad?

    Help

    Good Morning julio.herrera1,
    Thanks for the question.  It sounds like you need to update the settings on your iPhone to send and receive Messages.  Here's how:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201349
    Your iPhone telephone number is linked to your Apple ID when you sign in to FaceTime or iMessage. This allows you to use your iPhone number with FaceTime and iMessage on other iOS devices.
    You can sign in to your Apple ID on an iPhone by tapping Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
    On iOS devices, find out which addresses are enabled with FaceTime and iMessage by tapping:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
    Have a great day!

  • What can I do when I try to access a URL and get the message "MAC OSX doesn't recognize internet addresses starting with "c:"?

    I recently tried to download a pdf file from a website in the UK.  Up popped a message saying the website could not be accessed, followed by this message: "MAC OSX doesn't recognize internet addresses starting with "c:".  I was able to access the website easily (its domain was "www") and the page listing the pdfs, but could not download a pdf.  Of course," c:" appears not to be a valid domain name, but why would anyone use "c:" in place of a domain name in their URL?  And what can I do about the problem?  I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10, but also have Firefox and Chrome loaded.  Thanks.

    An address starting with c: wouldn't be any kind of domain name. C: is the drive lettering system DOS and and later uses. By default, A: and B: are reserved for your first and second floppy disk drive. All hard drives are then named C: through Z:, if you have that many. C: is normally your startup disk.
    Anyway, their PDF file is incorrectly linked to a file directly on the C: drive of someone's computer. It's not going to work no matter what you do.

  • When I paste a group of cells and get a "bonk" sound when I select "paste."

    Any ideas?  The cells are not locked.

    I discovered why it didn't want to paste... it was objecting to pasting a field with merged cells onto another field with merged cells.  I thought they matched, maybe maybe not, I'm not sure.  Anyway, I removed the columns alltogether and then pasted fresh.  I hate to think what I would have had to go through if I would have lost other stuff that way, since un-merging all the destination cells would have been far far too much work.  I guess that's what multiple tables on one worksheet are good for... though they have their drawbacks if you want compatibility with excel...

  • Remote app in iOS 7 doesn't bring keyboard when entering text.

    I tried to use the remote app with my new iPad air with iOS 7 with and when I tried to make a search for a movie it won't bring the keyboard as before when entering text. The funny thing is that I have an old iPod 4th gen with iOS 6, and that one still brings the keyboard every time text needs to be entered, even still has the option to hide and bring out the keyboard. Is this feature gone forever in iOS 7? Or is missing and will be added later?

    This is now fixed. The remote has two modes. It starts with an interface similar to iTunes to play music or videos from your library, on the top right side it has a keyboard (mine appeared greyed out and I was unable to activate it, but now works), and an axis which brings the other remote everyone is familiar with to select the icons on the tv screen. The other remote now has a small keyboard icon on the top right which didn't used to have before. I don't know what I did to activate it, however, it won't bring the keyboard automatically like before. Another way to bring the keyboard, if yours still stuck, is to highlight any of the letters in the menu, and swipe from right to left, the highlight will cursor will hide, swipe again and that brings up the keyboard. How? Why? Still a mystery to me, but I happy I can use remote again.

    Most likely you have set the wrong file as the external editor. You don't want the obvious one; that's just a link to the welcome screen. Go back and choose this one, which is hidden away inside the folder Support Files:

    You can't reformat it and not wipe everything on it.
    Have you tried a different USB port?
    Only other option, back it up on a different computer.

    If the same website is opening each time you launch a browser (Safari?) hold down the shift key as you launch to prevent previous pages from opening.

    I bought iPhone 6 Plus few days ago and I have the following problems:
    1) When entering through Safary to Google Images and tap on each one of them they do not enlarge nor I am able by click on them to enter into their connected website
    2) When I receive an e-mail with images I cannot easily save them in my gallery. It needs more than 10 tabs to the window "save this image" or "save all 3 images" and if I am lucky it saves one image. This is very frustrating, I loose a lot of time trying and affects my job.
    I would highly apreciate any help

  • Why when i use a new apple Id and new id for icloud all my information is gone? For example all my contracts are all gone.

    I don't know why when i used a new apple ID and new icloud ID all my information is done. My contracts are all gone. This only happen on on phone. When i was changing the other phones it works fine. Nothing is lost. So i dont understand when i was changing the apple ID and icloud Id the information is lost. You know when you go to setting and you click iCloud and i saw that the contracts book was light on. Does that matter? Does that cause i lost my contracts?

    I don't think the iPhone is really designed for people to be switching from one Apple ID to another so when you do so you may experience problems.  You have two options on the iPhone for where you can be accessing contacts, from iCloud and the iPhone itself.  You can also pull contacts off of a SIM card but they are then stored on the iPhone and not accessed from the SIM card.
    You could try this;
    1. Go to Settings > iCloud
    2. Sign in to the Apple ID that you want the Contacts from,
    3. Turn "On" the Contacts slider and let it download all of your contacts
    4. When it's done downloading, turn the slider back to "Off" and you should get a message like this..."What would you like to do with the previously synced iCloud contacts on your iPhone?"
    5. Then select "Keep on My iPhone"
    Then after that you can then sign out of that Apple ID and into your other Apple ID and the contacts shouls still be there.
