Q: My wireless keyboard keeps typing weird characters.
I took it to the Genius bar and they ran all sorts of test, said the system was very slow. They kept it for a few days and checked a few other things. They wiped the machine and then made me reload from a backup. That seemed to help for a little bit but now its back! I tried replacing the keyboard but that did not solve the problem.
I am wondering if there is something running in the background messing it up.
I do occasionally get an "alert detector" pop up could this be the problem;
I have a Late 2002 Mac Mini Running the latest OS X El Capitan 10.11.6
I just ran EtreCheck....can anyone help!
Thanks
Wendy
