My keyboard shortcuts are gone after installing IOS 7...

Updated to IOS 7 yesterday and today noticed I had no keyboard shortcuts stored anymore... I looked online and apparently others have had problems with their keyboard shortcuts stopping working with IOS 6 in the past, but I didn't see anything about keyboards shortcuts having disappeared before. Apparently the shortcuts are stored/backed up in var/mobile/library/keyboard, but I can't access this directory because I haven't rooted my phone, so I have no way that I can think of to restore them.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem.
It seems to be linkend to the synchronisation of Documents and data with Icloud : I found this explanation in several forums for IOS 6 a(for example http://forums.macg.co/iphone/raccourcis-clavier-hs-ios-6-a-1201194.html, in french) and it seems to be the same thing in IOS 7.
If you inactivate the synchronisation for Documents and data to Icloud, you will recover your shortcuts, but it doesn' seem to be a stable solution.

  • Keyboard shortcuts are gone

    Not sure if this was due to a recent upgrade or what - All I have in my System Preferences > Keyboard > Text are my own personally-created keyboard shortcuts. All the system-installed ones (like for smart fractions and replacing (c) with the copyright symbol) are gone. Tried calling Apple Support but it wasn't a familiar problem to them and they figured it might have been a recent Yosemite upgrade that did it. Anybody out there have this same issue? If it was my personal ones that were gone, I could at least recreate them, but how do you type a smart fraction for one-half without just typing the shortcut phrase, "1/2"?

    ½ ¼
    You can add the ½ ¼ to your own shortcuts and then use them like before:
    To enter the shortcut use the character viewer:
    ¼ etc. are in the Basic Latin section of the unicode table:

  • Keyboard shortcuts are gone since Yosemite upgrade

    I use a large number of keyboard shortcuts (the ones accessed in System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Text).
    Since the upgrade to Yosemite, the personal ones I've created (and which are still visible in the menu) do not work any longer.
    The default ones from Apple, however, still function properly.
    What do I have to do to get these working again?
    I've tried obvious things like re-creating the personal ones. No go.
    Thanks for any help on this.

  • All data are deleted after installing iOS 8.0.2

    Hello,
    I have installed iOS 8.0.2 into my iPhone 5 . I was shocked when I got a message asking me to connect the iPhone to itunes in my labtop or it will not work! Because I didn't need to do this for installing the earlier ones; I just had to do it in one step from settings in the iPhone, but this time was different! I have connected my iPhone to the labtop, and it worked, BUT all my data (photos, notes, recordings, apps...) have been deleted !!!!!!
    The latest backup I did was in 2013!!! So I couldn't get back the new data of 2014
    Please, any solution to get back my data ?
    Thank you very much!

  • Pictures in Photo Library or Online are crashed after installing iOS 8

    Hi
    Im using iPhone 5 and a few days ago I update it to be iOS 8, what happened is that images were crashed when I zoom pictures in photo library or even searching picture online. But in the evening it was okay again until now. I don't know what happening with my phone.
    Thanks for reading my issues and I'm very glad to get a response of the idea of this problem.

    Thanks for your reply King_Penguin
    Re your first point - 'Sync collections' was ticked in both the iPad and Mac versions of iBooks prior to these problems occurring.
    Why have recently purchased or installed books been moved to iCloud and moved off my iPad and iMac when previously they were there in my iBooks library collections? They were books I'd read or were in the process of reading.
    More confusing is that on my Mac in iBooks there are books that are fully downloaded and not in iCloud yet the same books in iBooks on the iPad are not downloaded and are in iCloud. After I sync this hasn't changed. To my mind this means that sync isn't working properly or that maybe iCloud has somehow been activated on one device and not on the other?
    Why should I have to re-download books that were already present in my iBooks library on Mac and iPad prior to my upgrades to Yosemite, iOS 8 and the iBooks  apps?
    I have to reiterate that I do not and will not use iCloud and for 2 reasons: it is not secure and Apple uses push marketing to make it difficult for you to not use it.

  • Goolge Toolbar Buttons are Gone After Installing FF 4

    After getting the new FireFox version 4 I see no Google buttons anymore even tho the Google Toolbar is active. It is installed and ticked and there is even a row but it's blank. When I click View ->Toolbars and untick the Google toolar the extra space is gone.
    I uninstalled the google toolbar and installed it again, tried using oldbar, and any trick I could think of but they just do not appear.

    OK, I managed to figure it out and resolve it.  For those who might encounter this problem...
    I started the project in FB 4, so when I installed the trial of 4.5, I just pointed the project to the 4.1 folder (because the 4.5 SDK caused some issues in my project).  When I uninstalled 4, the SDK was also removed.
    The solution was to download the 4.1 SDK to the 4.5 folder, then point to that.  I had an issue in that 4.1 was the default SDK, and I had a hard time getting the "Configure SDK's" dialog to open (it kept failing with an "invalid values" message.  I finally found that clicking "specific SDK" allowed me to open the dialog.
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • UDF's are gone after installing SP1

    I loaded the Webtools 6 SP1 and now my UDF's are not there in SAP (BP, Warehouses, etc..) I do not see anything different on my Synch Manager, and I am getting errors..in webtools
    Invalid currency - must be ISO 2417 compliant? What is that?
    My theme is the basic that came with the update, I was able to synch BP, items, catagories, etc...but cannot place an order as a customer without the error and I am sure my UDF's missing are part of it
    I was doing so well too! Thanks again for anyone's/everyone's help.
    Joanne

    Hi Joanne
    Under currencies in the Admin, you need to have USD for the ISO code, and not "$". B1 allows this, but it does not follow the standards of ecommerce currency display.
    As for the UDF's, the Install Plugin operation in the synch manager only adds UDF's(if they are not there already) that are relevant to Web tools, and absolutely does not remove anything. There are no delete commands in that process, so it might have been something else.
    Hope this helps!

  • Keyboard shortcuts stopped working after upgrading to iOS 7

    Does anyone know how to make the keyboard shortcuts start working again in iOS 8? After I upgraded to I OS 8 on my iPad air, the keyboard shortcut stopped working. Is there anyone who knows how to make this work again? All the fixes online pertain to iOS 7 and earlier, and they're not applicable for iOS 8.
    Hope someone can help!
    Thanks!

    I lost all my keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone 5s after upgrading to iOS 8. They still showed up on my iPad Air (iOS 8) and iMac (10.9.5). There were, however, massive sync problems, sometimes they would only flow from one device to all the others, sometimes from one device to only one of the other two, sometimes not at all.
    I deleted all my shortcuts and started from scratch, deleting “~/Library/Application Support/Ubiquity”, ~/Library/Dictionaries” and “~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~TextInput” from the iMac and KeyboardDomain from my iOS devices.
    Rebooted everything a dozen times.
    Toggled Documents & Data Sync off and on a dozen times too in all kinds of combination with rebooting and deleting the aforementioned files.
    Everything always starts working and syncing fine for a very short while, but sooner or later one of my devices stops receiving new shortcuts as I re-add them.
    I reboot that device and it catches up. I enter new shortcuts, and that device doesn’t get any new shortcuts. This time, a reboot doesn’t fix anything.
    After using my devices for a while, I notice shortcuts are entirely gone from both the iPhone and iPad, but not from the iMac.
    I even upgraded my iPhone 5s to a 6, and right off the bat it had issues with keyboard shortcut sync. I also setup my iPad as new, and same thing: right off the bat, sync issues with keyboard shortcuts.

  • I just installed ios7 on my iPhone 4s.  It seems to be working fine but all of the apps I had previously installed are gone.  They show up in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts are gone.  Does anyone know how to get the shortcuts back?  Thanks!

    I updated via my iPhone 4s.  The apps were on my iPhone 4s.  That's all the information that I have.  The update to ios7 seems to have gone smoothly - everything else is working, phone texting, email, internet, etc.  But all of the apps I had installed over the past year are no longer showing up as shortcuts.  No facebook, no twitter, no espn, etc.  They are all still listed in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts and my folders are gone.  Thanks.

  • After installing ios 5.1 on my iphone 4s, some apps are being closed automatically after a few seconds. I've tried a restart and a total reset. nothing seems to work. Any solutions?

    The problem Apps may need to be updated. Or maybe your iTunes account needs to just update itself on your iPhone. To do this, install a free App from the App Store on your iPhone. Tap App Store app on iPhone, select and install a free App. When that is done try the problem Apps to see if they work OK again.

  • After installing iOS 6.0, YouTube was gone, and can't fine it at app store.  The installation of new updates is never succecessful.  And there seems to be no way that you can stop it.  Why is that?

    After installing iOS 6.0, the previously installed YouTube was gone, and couldn't  find it at app store.  Also, the installation of new updates Can not be completed, they have been in "installing" status for days.  And there seems to be no way that I  can cancel it.  What should I do?

    Thanks, I understand that.  Now the biggest problem is that I can not purchase or install anything from App Store.  They have been in "waiting" mode ever since I tried to install them.  What might be the reason? 

  • Keyboard shortcuts are not showing, but still exist!?

    I've tried to look for this issue, but I can't seem to find anyone else experiencing this... it's a strange one. Here is the situation:
    First, I'm speaking of iOS 5.0.1, and the keyboard shortcuts located under General->Keyboard->Shortcuts.
    Upon upgrading to iOS 5, I was pretty stoked about this massive time-saver that was previously only possible through (already forgot the $5 app's name!) and was further restricted in the fact that the only apps it could be used in were those specifically coded to use its API. Anyway, thankful it's now native!
    Was... thankful. When they were all showing up in the listing as they are supposed to. Something happened... maybe the upgrade from 5.0->5.0.1, I can't pinpoint a specific time when they all decided to turn to ghosts! Every last one of them, looks like they were erased... the list is totally bare. That's misleading, though, because the shortcuts that I had created still work fine! They just fail to show up in the list. Odd... There have been a couple of rare occassions that I cannot find a way to reproduce where I could just put something in the Search box, (any letter, or a space) and they would all show up again as if they never left!
    Until you try and start editing or messing with any of them... any edits will crash the Settings app upon hitting Save. Additionally, you obviously cannot add a shortcut term that already exists then save it "overwriting" an old one as a trick... it just says it already exists and you can't use that shortcut term.
    I did take some screenshots of when I got it to actually show up (and still have no idea what I did to cause them to briefly appear as search results -- I can try the same thing now and I get no results found. Anyone have any idea what in the world could be going on, or how I can fix this? It's a real pain, considering any new ones I add also disappear... so many of them that I created months ago, I can't recall what the exact shorthand was, and I'm out of
    My only thought for a hopefully "sure fix" would be to do a RESET on keyboard settings. I'd like to avoid it if at all possible, as that's going to erase not only the mass of shortcuts that already exist, but will also reset my custom words/anything it has "learned" from my input.
    As far as troubleshooting to see if anything made a difference-- I have added extra keyboards, removed all keyboards, changed the default keyboard to another language, you name it as far as adding or subtracting (or even changing software/hardware keyboard layouts out) -- all to no avail.
    Here are the few screenshots I was able to get during the "fluke" time that I "sort of" got them to reappear:
    Did a search on "s"--
    I believe this was a freshly added one? Or it alone, showed up:
    This one I simply searched on a single (space):
    At no other point have I been able to recreate this temporary resurrection since then, but as proof that they still are in effect:
    I'd really like to go in and change some of them, for instance, I defined "nm" as "not much" and instead, I find myself using that regularly as shorthand for nevermind (which I originally defined as n/m or nvm)... but any action on them... editing, deleting, etc... results in the Settings crash, as mentioned, immediately upon hitting Save... *boop* gone.
    Do any of you brilliant minds have any suggestions to try that don't involve resetting the keyboard settings (wiping it out and redoing the OS is not an option for something that is really mostly an annoyance and inconvenience. Too much time, effort and trouble for me to have to do that, unfortunately... Has anyone seen or heard of this happening to anyone else? In closing, I can't tie the disappearance to any specific event, other than "possibly the 5.0.1 upgrade" (and that's just a guess).
    What's not a guess was that my iPhone 4 was running super fast and battery worked great at 5.0! Was very happy! 5.0.1 destroyed this thing. It's now slow, constantly crashing, and my batttery (which unlike 4S owners) was working great... now I am having to charge it 3-4 times per day! That's not even with heavy usage! That's another story and has its own (very long and irate) thread. My thought: should've just stayed with 5.0; what possessed me to apply a patch for an issue that I wasn't even experiencing!
    Oh, one last probably important bit of info -- firmware is clean, it's not JB or anything. Upgrade to 5.0 went smooth as can be, and I was very pleased with 5.0 -- now I'm considering downgrading back to 5.0 (thankfully saved my SHSH's) though I don't know the implications of what FURTHER havoc that could cause, so I'm patiently waiting for 5.1 to not fix everyone's issues! I never said I was an optimist, but I do consider myself a realist! *nods*
    Crap. After posting this, I was able to find these other few users experiencing the same thing. Didn't mean to dupe post but at least here's the cross reference which I'll post there too:

  • Upgraded to I OS8 and all my shortcuts are gone!

    After upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPad air, I am in disbelief to see that my hundreds and hundreds of shortcuts are gone! How could this happen? Apparently, according to Apple support, there is no way to get them back! How can this be possible!?
    I use these shortcuts for everything I do.  This is very inconvenient. 

    Did you lose all your bookmarks, e.g., Bookmarks menu is empty or has basic default bookmarks?
    Could you check whether you still have your bookmarkbackups folder?
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    This should open a Finder window to your personal settings folder (AKA your Firefox profile folder)
    If there is a bookmarkbackups folder in there, check inside for dated daily backup files. Can you find them? If so, you can use the Restore feature described in this article: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]. This process completely replaces whatever partial or default bookmarks you might have.
    By the way, did you lose your history, too, or just bookmarks?
