#Mac delete key wont stop how to
I'd also appreciate anyone letting me know how I can prevent it OR what to do when it begins and how to stop it. If someone does recognize this issue and already knows why it might be happening, I'd appreciate the help. I also currently am dealing with some health problems that make me unable to try to find the root of the problem, specifically I have a problem with my hand and wrist that makes typing very difficult. Honestly, I currently am having and have been having a bunch of other severe issues with my Mac, so troubleshooting will be quite difficult as it's not at all impossible it's a result of one of my other problems. All security updates are up-to-date, with one exception: I have not upgraded to the most recent version of iTunes.
#Mac delete key wont stop pro
I have a MacBook Pro from 2007, running the most recent version of Tiger. The first time it happened, I honestly thought someone had managed to hack into my computer, but another time I was using a physical modem and Airport was turned off, and when I ripped out the cord, it didn't stop. Sometimes I lost a half hour's worth of work or more. When I have stopped whatever is happening before it panics though, when I restart, I don't receive any kind of error message, nor the message about OS X not having been shut down properly.Įvery single time it has happened when I was typing something that couldn't be saved, like a message on a forum, a private message on a site or an IM chat window. I have to do a hard shut-down, although once it led to a kernal panic.
#Mac delete key wont stop mac
When I force it to go to another window where there isn't an open text box, I get the general Mac error sound, and it repeats non-stop, and faster than I've ever heard it.
None of the other keys on my keyboard work, and though my mouse works, if I click somewhere else, it starts deleting the text there. Whatever text I currently have open immediately starts deleting at lightspeed, and I can do nothing to stop it. However, at least one time I can verify that I never even hit the key. I have had an issue that has happened at least 3 times I can remember (I am fairly certain it has happened more, closer to 7-8, those are just the times I am 100% confident about), although very spaced apart and infrequent, where my delete/backspace key seems to get "stuck". Sorry if this is in the wrong topic, I have never used the support forums for any of the multitude of problems I have had with my Mac, but this one is severe and odd enough that I couldn't even find anyone else discussing it (although I'm sure someone is, but I tried many search key combinations on Google and only found unrelated things), so I decided to at least get it documented.
