Words have random letters bolded.

For the last week, some sites will have random letters in bold. If I highlight the words, or scroll down then back, the letters return to normal. I have tried to reinstall Firefox multiple times, but the same problem keeps cropping up. I have also tried with add-ons disabled. It does not happen in IE.

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

I HAVE RESOLVED THIS!! The problem was that I was signed in to iCloud on my iphone with an old Apple ID and using a different Apple ID on my pc. I signed out of iCloud on my phone, then re-signed in with the same id as the iCloud on my pc. Presto chango. All is well.

Why does my iPad 2 type random letters?

Why does my iPad 2 type random letters?

It happens when I am trying to write emails, enter username or password info. If a backspace to delete, often other numbers or letters appear. In playing words with friends, the letters I am trying to place end up all over the board--do not go where I want them to. My screens become "shakey" and if I shut down it usually corrects it--but not always. The iPad 2 is less than a year old. Might have to make an appt. at an Apple store unless you have another suggestion. Thanks

Macbook Pro's keyboard is typing random letters/symbols- can't figure out- HELP!

OK, so everything was just fine, worked wonderfully, then I found my little chihuahua puppy walking on the keyboard, she is very tiny, so not heavy at all, & I caught it pretty quick... I DID see she may have had a little bit of wetness on the bottom of a paw, as there was a bit here or there, but it really wasn't much at all, and I was able to soak it all right up with a tissue, it really wasn't enough water, or in a bad enough spot, for me to worry at all about any damage being done- however- while trying to enter text in text edit, I realized that all the keys on my keyboard were either not responding at all, or typing completely random letters/symbols instead of the intended characters- for example, every time I'd type/press one single letter on the keyboard, one time, instead of that letter, it would type TWO completely different letters, like 'ht' , at the same time- so every "d" would produce "ht" over and over... sometimes it looks like hebrew or russian letters, I don't even know! So I'm pretty darn sure my puppy must have typed some crazy key combo that did, well, who knows what- I've tried looking this up here on these forums, for a couple days now, and thought that I maybe figured it out a couple of times, but nope- no luck. It isn't my language setting, my option key isn't stuck, I'm lost! I saw a couple people who seemed to know what they were talking about, who were trying to help others with similar problems, and they asked the person to enter "asdfg" into text edit, and to post what that produced instead of the "asdfg" so.... I planned on doing that very thing right now, but there seems to have been a new development- as now, when I go into text edit, none of my keys work/respond when hit- except for a few, the following keys in lower case ";" " ' " "/" "[" "]"
"\" "=" & "-" THEN, when I hit the following keys, here's what they type:
c= cde3
v= frv4
b= bgt5
n= hny6
m= jmu7
comma= ik8,
period= lo9.
Then sometimes, when I hit the 1 or 2 key, the letter "z" starts to type constantly filling up the whole text edit box, like, "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... & so on"
If anyone has any idea what is really going on here, PLEASE help me out- I love & need this laptop for work, school, etc. and right now, I am no where near an apple store, don't even have good phone reception up here- (on a mountain!) so I'm really hoping that someone can help me figure this out once and for all! THANK YOU for reading this lengthy post, & thanks in advance to anyone who tries to solve this mystery!

I should point out I was having a very similar issue with no known liquid coming in contact with the machine. The keys that were affected were close together: my e, d, and c keys would consistantly type weird combinations of characters, some of them very out there, stuff like ¥©þ®. An external keyboard would work fine.
After a few days it just stopped, and the only reason I can think of is that overheating was the problem. I was playing "cookie clicker" a game where you often leave the game running overnight, and I noticed that the fan was often working very hard and that the computer got pretty warm, even when leaving it on a hard surface. So after three days of symptoms I stopped playing that game and a day or two later everything was back to normal. My e, d, and c keys were inconsistant for the first 24 hours (sometimes worked, sometimes didn't), but now they're working working fine.

Keyboard problem typing random letters and symbols

Hi Rob,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your running into an issue with the keyboard on your MacBook Pro. The article linked below provides suggestions that will resolve most keyboard issues like the one you described.
OS X Mavericks: If keys on your keyboard don’t work
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13809
If other keys don’t work
You may have accidentally set an option that changes how your keyboard operates.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Dictation & Speech, then click “Text to Speech.” If “Speak selected text when the key is pressed” is selected, deselect it or click Change Key to select another key.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Keyboard. Make sure Slow Keys is turned off. If Slow Keys is on, you must hold down a key longer than usual before it’s recognized.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Mouse & Trackpad. Make sure Mouse Keys is off. If Mouse Keys is on, pressing keys in the numeric keypad moves the pointer instead of entering numbers.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard, then click Input Sources. Select “Show Input menu in menu bar.” Open the Input menu and make sure the correct keyboard layout is selected. To see the keyboard layout, click Keyboard, then choose “Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar.”
I hope this helps.

HT201991 When I review an app, my 'name' shows up as just a bunch of random letters.

I noticed that if I review an app, my name shows up as just a string of random letters like "BJKCLCJDOIOSUODIDJDJLD"
I also noticed that it seems everyone else's review name shows up as at least something that reads like a nickname.
I have tried finding help on why this is but cannot. Can anyone help me here? My apple id is my email address and not sure there's any way to change that.
Thanks for any help!

I have an iPhone 6 and have been having this issue since I got it in December 2014. Apps open on their own, scrolling up and down, etc. It's like a ghost is touching the screen. It seems to be the worst when my Verizon connection is only at 3G or my wifi strength is low. I'm not sure if it's an iPhone thing or a carrier issue?? Any ideas?

Random letters added to my url - any ideas?

Hi Guys
On this particular site we started seeing funny random letters and numbers added to our urls - we did not touch these pages in quite a while and it only started about a week ago. Even if you change the url in "SEO" etc... it automatically adds it.
Any ideas?
See http://tonipizza.co.za/Tonis_Pizza_Menu.html#.UbIe3JU56YU
it should read http://tonipizza.co.za/Tonis_Pizza_Menu.html
Support says it might be one of our scripts that "broke" -- but sounds like a bit of a stretch to me. Again, we have not touched code on this page for a loooong time.
Thanks
Casper

Hey Casper,
There's some sort of conflict with a content holder you have placed within the page. When you remove it the url restores back to normal.
I would look into this script in the "add this" content holder which most likely is affecting the output of the url.
Kind regards,
-Sidney

I'm in iPhone 5. I transfer photos to a Windows 7 PC, using the USB cable. Lately, the photos are appearing in Windows Explorer within monthly folders, with gibberish titles. The folder names will be 8 random letters and numeric characters. I tend to let photos build up, so there are about 2 years worth of these monthly folders… Between 20 and 25. This is a huge hassle… I'm unable to tell what months are in each folder, by the folder name.… Have to open each folder to see which month is in there. I want to be able to look at all the photos on the iPhone in one view, as I was able to in the past. How do I stop this foldering of photos, by months?? Thank you. BC

I have the same issue. I searched and finally got only one answer is -- Apple suggest customer using iMAC to transfer and backup photos instead of Windows. How great the solution is it!

¿How to fill an array with random letters?

Yes.

With exactly which part of this assignment are you having trouble?
Can you create a 2-dim array of characters?
Can you generate a random letter?
Show the code you have written so far.
Don't expect others to write a complete solution for you.
Don't expect others to guess as to which part you're having difficulty with.
Show the code you have working, and the code which you have tried which isn't working,
Explain what is happening with it which shouldn't.

»HP 15-g019wm Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) How do i get my laptop keyboard to work correctly so that it is not typing groups of random letters every time i type a letter. It says that it is working correctly. It works fine with a wireless mouse and keyboard If I attach my wireless mouse and keyboard I am able to type without it happening. I need to make this work correctly and when the device is checked it says that it is working correctly. I have tried using canned air to see if something is stuck inside under the keyboard.

API to generate an image of random letters?

Is there a free Java API for generating those images of random letters used to ensure that a human has submitted a web form?
I know it's not too hard to write from scratch, but I'd like to save myself the work :)

it's called a "captcha", their site (captcha.org or something) will have links to implementations.
or google.. "java captcha implementation" ..

Using a IP191 monitor, have random horizontal streaks on display - have no problem with other browsers; also no problem with FF on other family PC's

Using a IP191 monitor, have random horizontal streaks on display - have no problem with other browsers; also no problem with FF on other family PC's.
These "streaks" appear to be area of too high frequency scanning; they can be cleared by scrolling up and/or down.

hello, maybe that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] > options > advanced > general''.

I just upgraded to the 5S now I have random music on my phone, some stuff I've never head of, some stuff that is on my computer but I don't have it selected to sync onto my phone. How do I delete these songs? I haven't hooked it up to my computer. iTunes matches has never been turned on and I did turn off the Show all Music option. Some songs have the option to slide from right to left to bring up the delete button but not the ones I want to delete! I want them gone please help! I really don't want/need carni music from my daughters 4th bday party on my phone!! If anyone has a solution that does not involve me plugging into my computer that'd be awesome....

Random letters to random numbers in the code template?

I'd like to change the random letters of the code template in Motion 5 to be random numbers.
PLATFORM: quad 2.9 macpro, Mavericks, 8 GB RAM, Motion 5.

type the number you want. I highly recommend a monospace font (or at least a font with monospace number characters -- there are a few...)
Add > Behaviors > Text Animation
Parameter Add > Format > Character Offset
Set Character Offset to 18 (seems to work well.)
Character Set: Preserve Case & Digits
Adjust Spread to taste.
Consider Direction > Random
