Does anyone else have an iMac that starts typing on its own?

I try to type a password and the computer just starts typing, indefinitely. I'll write an email and the computer hits back again and again and again. Then it starts to beep me - the beep that says: "has already hit this key! I have no control over what he types. My only recourse is to restart, which works most of the time. Until yesterday.

This goes on 5 months patiently trying a bunch of solutions, none worked. Of course, it produced intermittently, making it much more difficult.  However I called and talked to a counselor while he was hoping it would help. Nope.

I went through 5-6 people from Apple for probably 7 + hours on the phone. Finally, they said make a genius bar appt and bring it in. Yes, I did. The whole darn 27 "thing. They gave me a new keyboard to try. Nope. They suggested I have reinstall the latest system. Yes, I did. Nope.

I'm getting pretty well supplied upward.

I will say, in all the conversations I've had, I'm pinned a rude woman. Each representative was pleasant and everyone has, according to me, tried very hard to make it work.

Unfortunately the last woman I spoke with, a Counsellor who gave me his phone number and extension, did not return either my emails, nor my phone messages.

So I'm screwed out of. When he arrives, of course, I can't use my machine $2000 +. Fortunately, I have a laptop or I would scream bloody murder. Maybe I need to start screaming bloody murder. I want that they fix it or give me a new. 5 months is enough.

Someone else has a computer that writes on its own? Of course, I'd advice anyone can offer.

I've had this happen a couple of weeks - except that it was on my end 2012, Mac Mini, on which I had just done a clean install of El Capitan.  The Mac Mini was using the Apple bluetooth - like the iMac keyboard.

I've only had the question on the login screen - it would just start repeatedly typing in the password field.  To solve - and to see if was indeed a problem with the keyboard - I went to a wired keyboard - and the problem stopped.  This little told me it was the keyboard.  To troubleshoot further - I happened to have a spare identical keyboard - so I have the bluetooth of the iMac keyboard odd and not matched the keyboard problem of the Mac Mini.  I paired the keyboard blue tooth with the Mac Mini iMac and paired the bluetooth problem with the iMac keyboard.  I did a reset SMC, PRAM/NVRAM reset and start secure on the iMac and Mac Mini (precaution).  The problem never happened again.  I was not yet the keyboards of return - and it has been a few weeks.  If you do not have a wired keyboard or bluetooth spare parts - you could try the following:

1 turn off your iMac keyboard pairing.

2. join your iMac keyboard

3 stop the iMac

4 perform a SMC reset (iMac, you delete all the devices to the iMac - unplug the power cord at the back of the iMac.)  Wait at least 15 seconds.  Reattach the power cord to the iMac.  Wait at least 5 seconds.  Press the button.

5. when the iMac restarts - stop it again.

6 reset the PRAM (memory NVRAM) - by simultaneously pressing the keys CMD OPTION P and R, after hearing the boot chime.  Keep hold the keys until you hear the chime again.  Then keep hold the keys down until you hear one more chime.  Release the keys - let the iMac start.

7 judgment of the iMac, once again.

8. perform a startup by holding down the left SHIFT key when you hear the boot chime.  Now keep the left SHIFT key until you see the progress during the start bar.  On the login screen - it should be a message from Red starting at the top right of the screen.  Allow the iMac to sit at the display of connection for 5 minutes.  Connect to iMac - (it will be slower than normal).  Allow the iMac to sit to the desktop for about 5 minutes - do not run all the apps.  After 5 minutes - stop the iMac.

9 start the iMac and Note If the keyboard is no longer slap on its own.
