What keyboard and language setting do you use?

Have yo tried a clean install yet?

To create a Clean Install (formerly known as Erase & Install) of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (the 29 USD Upgrade DVD is a fully working retail version of Mac OS X and does not need a prior installation of Mac OS X on the Mac), follow one of the following guides:
Short version: Clean Install of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
Long version: Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard: How to Erase and Install​

And how can yo write normally, like you did in your post?

He is either

A. Erasing the numbers, because as you can see, the whole word is in there, it is just scambled up with numbers.

B. or he is just trolling.

Liquid spill? That can short the keyboard out and make that happen.

i deleted every number/letter from the text, i dont want people to think im trolling :/, the hdd im using is from a 2008, macbook, i cant do a clean install as i have nowhere to backup my drive

Do you have a flashdrive? Depending on how much space you need, you can put all you docs and music on it. Or try dropbox.

I tryd booting up the cd and naming a partion just to see if it was a conpatibility issue, and i get the same thing :/, i have to much info to put on a drive 180gb++

 

[ahdickter]

Run hardware diagnostics? Put in the Application Install Disk and hold down 'D' has the mac boots up

I don't think he is. If you take a look at this sentence "i8 r4e3ce3nt5ly6 bo9u7ght5 a macbo9o9k and thi8s st5ar4t5e3d t5o9 happe3n w2hat5 do9 y6o9u7 t5hi8nk i8 sho9u7ld do9?" you'll see that the keys in the numeric row are somehow bridged with the keys of the top alpha row. This is due to either a loose connector or water damage.

First step is to get something to backup your files. You've been running for four years with no backup? I hope you get it done before anything irreplaceable is lost. A 500 GB HDD is less than $40 currently.

Second step, create a new user account and see if the problem happens while running under it.

If the problem persists, erase and install. If that doesn't fix it, arrange for repairs or crack it open and see what's going on inside.

i wish the op lots of luck in getting the issue resolved, but i still can't help but laugh. anyone else think there would probably be some 14 yr olds out there who'd actually consider such typing behaviour a feature?

 

[kkbb]

If i were to say swap the keyboard with a 2010 still under warrenty, would i be able to get the 2010 fixed? Would apple know they were switched?

That was a joke obviously. Did you not read what I posted on A.?
