Apple :: MBP 13 - Typing Pinyin (chinese)
May 18, 2010
just got myself new MBP 13.
Everything is perfect except for one thing. I installed simple chinese characters support. It works fine, but after it goes to sleep or I close the lead, or after an hour or two of use, I choose pinyin option again, but when I type, it doesn't reflect chinese characters and just types in English, as normal.
The only solution to fix this is to restart, after which it seems to type normally again. Any idea what causing it? and how to get rid of it.
Also, is there any good 3rd party program for pinyin, like google pinyin for windows?

Sometimes when I am typing on my Mid 2009 macbook white there is a sort of buzzing sound, I have ruled this down to the magnet on the top left of the screen as if i put somthing magnetic near it i can hear the magnet moving slightly, I havent had this issue with my 17" MBP
Is this anything to worry about or is it a common problem? it only happens when the screen is at certain angles

I cleaned my xps 13 ultrabook last week with foamclene. I didn't spray it directly on to my keyboard but must have had too much on the cloth. Anyway my fn key is now typing letters from the middle row of kes, in varying combinations - jfsda, jfsd, jfs, jfa, jfk. When I noticed, I left the machine upside down to dry out for a few days but nothing changed.

My problem is that when I type quickly, sometimes cursor jumps to different position in text so it spoils what I wrote already before.
It's really annoying and I can't find out why is this happening.
I thought that maybe it's related somehow to this laptop.

I'll be typing on a website or a document, and suddenly the cursor will appear somewhere else in the document. It doesn't happen all the time, maybe once every couple of minutes of continuous typing, but it's incredibly annoying espcially when the cursor appears all the way at the top of a long text.
I think it's some sort of software error, because I don't remember it happening before I did the clean Vista install.
One time when it occured I happened to be pressing the Shift key, it selected all my text, which makes it seem like it thinks I'm pressing an arrow key or something (but my hands are only touching the letter keys)

I want to stop overtpying while typing. When I click using the cursor on the typed text it highlights a letter in the word instead of getting the cursor between letters. When I start typing it over writes the words ahead of it. How do I stop this?

I have an Inspiron 15R SE 7520 and while typing, the cursor frequently jumps around and will begin typing in a previously typed line. This is extremely frustrating. I am running Windows 8 and have looked to find where I can adjust the sensitivity of my touchpad but can't find it anywhere. I've seen other posts for other computers that suggest uninstalling the touchpad driver and reinstalling it. What I should do for my specific laptop to stop this from happening? Do I need to uninstall and reinstall the touchpad driver. If so, how do I do that for the Dell Inspiron 15R SE 7520 running Windows 8? I'm also keeping my hands off the touchpad while typing but the cursor still moves.

This has been happening when typing emails in Outlook. It will be interesting to see if it happens while typing this. So far it's been OK. I have a Dell XPS M1530. There it did it just then, the 1530 jumped into the subject field. It always jumps into somewhere I have already typed. So it doesn't just happen in Outlook. It is very annoying. I am using a Bluetooth mouse, but also there is a touchpad just under my hands. Could it be that I bump it by mistake?
I don't know it that's the problem as the touchpad cursor is different to the typing cursor. I'm watching the touchpad cursor and it's not moving. The typing cursor is behaving itself now. I have just moved the touchpad cursor up the screen a bit and the typing cursor is still behaving itself.
While I am typing my hands are well clear of the touchpad. It just jumped again, and it did not jump to where the touchpad cursor was, so it's not related to that.

I have a Dell XPS M1730 with 4GB Ram, 1TB in HD space. It is loaded with Windows 8.It works great except for one little thing. When I start typing I have to watch where the mouse is. If it is in the middle of the text I am typing, it will go there in the middle of me typing. This becomes very annoying.

I recently upgraded my dell inspiron m5110 from windows 7 home premium to windows 8 Professional from the online store at microsoft. I am quite annoyed about my trackpad getting in the way while typing. the cursor will sometimes unclick, jump onto another part of whatever I am typing or click onto everything and erase it! since i have downloaded windows 8 i have not found a way too disable the trackpad. i use a seperate mouse and i want to permanently disable my track pad.

I have in inspiron 4100 for about 14 months. I have noticed that while typing, the cursor my move back to a different position in the line, move to a previous line, or jump to another text box altogether. It drives me crazy that when I type, I never know if there is some combination of keys or if I accidently touch something to make the cursor change position.
Is there by default some combination of keys that cause cursor movement. It has happened 4 times while typing this message.
Can this be turned off?

When I am in email, and typing along, the font size displayed will change while I am typing. It will get really big or really small and acts like it has a mind of it's own. It only happens when I am typing emails, and happens in both Yahoo and Gmail.
It just happened again when I am typing this question, so it appears to be if I am in the internet. It does not happen in a word document.
Is there a way to stop this from happening? Am I hitting some speed-key combinations and just don't know it?

I have a g62 laptop with an external mouse and the cursor jumps all around when I am typing . I installed touchfreeze and unchecked "Hide Pointer While Typing" and neither worked. I also reviewed a suggestion to turn off "Touchpad" or something like that, and I can't even find this in my system.

I just bought the Envy 2x 13 Detachable a few weeks ago. I've had issues with the keyboard from day one.
Keys will randomly repeat themselves which makes typing anything, especially passwords, a nightmare. I've corrected that last sentence about 6 times for duplicate characters.
The following sentence will be typed with no corrections:
This keyboard liikes to dupplicate letters inn a totally randoom fashion and I never knnow when it will happpen it just does it.
I saw a thread where BIOS Rev F.08 solved these issues. I have Rev F.06. When I try to install that BIOS I get a message that there was a BIOS read error and it closes.
This is getting VERY frustrating. I've tried adjusting the repeat rate in control panel with NO effect.

My keyboard randomly inserts a double letter as I'm typing. But I do not see a ffix anywhere (just did it again). I've tried changing keyboard settings, downloading updates, etc, etc. This is actually the THIRD HP Envy computer in a row to have this problem.

I'm facing a very strange issue in my Inspiron 15R 5520 which I bought in August 2012. There are few characters, which appear only after typing the corresponding key on the keypad twice.
e.g. If I want to type tilde(~) character, then I have to press the key on the lest side of Numeric key 1. But, if I press it once, nothing appears on the screen. And If I press this key twice, then I get two tilde (~) characters. Same behaviour happens for four other characters. Given below is the list of characters, which do not show up by pressing key once, rather twice.

Surprisingly, when I was typing keys Shift+6 in the compose area of this forum, then the character caret (^) appeared after pressing key once. Whereas, if I try it in Notepad or Word Pad or in the address bar of Mozila FireFox, I'll have to press the key twice so that character appears twice and then delete the extra character...

When typing in a document, in wordpad for instance, the cursor (and text entry point) will suddenly jump elsewhere. Typically up a couple of lines. Since it happens while typing, I end up corrupting the document.
Disabling the touch pad does not solve the problem.

Dell xps 15z ... I have an issue that the cursor disappears every few seconds whilst typing
To clarify it is the cursor and not the mouse pointer. When you click the mouse the cursor reappears in the right location so its not being moved by trackpad etc.
It appears that the tab/window open become de-active and the cursor disappears.

I have a Dell Inspiron laptop and my mousepad does not work while typing. This is an annoying default setting and it prevents me from being able to play most computer games. I have already tried changing the dell touchpad settings (Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Dell Touchpad) to no avail, and I am not willing to get a mouse.
