My MacBook won't let me type in any application. I'll try to type and it will take a few letters, then the cursor jumps backwards or everything I've typed will be highlighted and deleted when I continue to type.
I re-installed snow leopard (10.6.8) and tryed zapping the VPRAM twice.
Help?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
A Safe Mode boot deletes some system caches that may help.
Top left corner of your screen click the Apple > Shut Down.
After your Mac shuts down, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key. You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after you hear the startup tone, but not before.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.
Once you are in Safe Mode, go back to the Apple menu. From the drop down menu click: Restart
Then try typing.
