When online and asked to fill in phone no., the iPhone presents a numeric keyboard that does not have space, hyphen or parenthesis keys. How to get a full keyboard to come up all the time?

When asked to input my phone number on some online forms (Yelp, donation), a numeric keyboard comes up on my phone. This keyboard has 0-9 characters, + # symbols, and the words "pause" and "wait.". There is no option for parentheses for area code, no hyphen option, no period option and no space option. As a result, numbers run in a single row. I then get the message "Invalid phone number" or "Invalid Format.". The sites then won't allow me to continue. This numeric keyboard is useless. How do I get either a numeric keyboard with the needed features or, better yet, get the alpha-numeric pad we usually see?  This seems so weird on Apple's part.

I'm wondering where the onsite warranty can be in effect.  Like, can it be used in ANY city in the US?  Can it be used only in metrololitan areas?  What is a metro area in Lenovo's eyes?
Does anyone know where I can get better and accurate info on the onsite warranty?  Like a coverage map would be very helpful.  Because why should I spend the money on it, if I can't access it?
Looking forward to more info...thanks.
There is no coverage map as such.
I live in what is considered a rural area and had techs driving 60-70 miles one way to get to me, never an issue.
Obviously, YMMV.
In my not-so-modest experience, both onsite and accidental damage upgrades are worth every penny if one intends to keep their ThinkPads for an extended period of time.
Good luck.

    There is no way to stop iTunes from doing exactly what it is designed to do.
    The iPhone is designed to sync with one and only one computer.
    If you have moved/copied your iTunes library from your old computer to your new one, then iTunes wiping your device is no problem.  You would simply sync and iTunes will put all the content back.

  • I'm getting an error that says "The iPhone "------" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." Everything will sync but the music. I am an administrator and all the files are organized. How do I sync my phone?

    I cannot sync my iTunes library or any playlists to my iPhone due to a message that reads "The iPhone "-----" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access priviledges for this operation. I also have music on my iPhone that will not sync to my iTunes library. Any way to sync the two together?

    I hope this helps.    Not the easiest fix, but I suspect it will solve the problem.

    The iPhone won't sync anymore.  How can I fix this?

    This works even for my ipod on my computer. I recently time machined myself and when i open intunes it always does all that backgroud magic and  pops up saying "....You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation."
    It turns out i don't need that, because i do not use sync. I do not sync. I don't use the sync. I abstain from getting my sync on...etc.

  • HT1386 i have an iphone 4s. Im getting the iphone 5s for christmas, but i do  not have my phone backed up, and my phone is not working and my screen is covered with blue lines. I need help.

    My iphone is not working, i was planning on getting the iphone 5s for christmas, but i do not have my phone backed up on itunes. On my screen are these blue lines across on my screen, and i cant see anthing and i do not know what to do. I want to back up my phone but i cant see my screen to back it up. I need help badly. Thanks apple hope you can help me in this matter.

    You wouldn't need to see the screen to backup unless you have a passcode on the device. Is that the case? You should be able to plug the device into the computer with iTunes and just select backup now.

    Launch Keychain Access and click on Login in the left hand pane and then on Passwords.  Next do search for Apple in the search field at the top and click on Apple ID Authenicication in the list that comes up.  That will give you the ID no. and password.

  • Help!: The iphone cannot be synced. You do not have the privilege to make

    Help!
    I synced my iphone4 to a window PC before i get a mac recently.
    So, when i try to sync my iphone 4 to mac.
    I was told that "the iphone cannot be synced. You do not have the privilege to make changes".
    1. i clicked store> authorize this computer. =failed.
    2. restart mac. =failed.
    3. reinstalled itunes. = failed.
    4. restored iphone4. =failed.
    Then,
    I do logged in as admin.
    I changed all the related folders' sharing/permissions to "read & write" for admin, me and everyone.
    But still cannot be snyced for the music and photos.
    I hopes that i can get the answer. Thanks.
    So, what else can i do?
    is there any solution?

    other threads have users reporting the same issue. I have a 4s which has been running fine and just this morning has come up with the same error. I suspect some permissioning issue on the phone (just a hunch)

  • HT2953 If i purchase CD that does not have iTunes match...how do i get it to play on my devices(e.g.. phone, iPad)

    If i purcharse CD that does not have itunes match...how do i get it to play on other devices(eg. phone, ipad)?

    I go to amazon.com, look up the album in the search bar, the do a copy (right click, copy) on the artwork that shows up.  Then you go to iTunes and right click the album you want to update with that artwork, click "get info" click in the artwork square and press the 'command and V' keys for paste (fyi right click paste does not work here) you must just click in the square and press command-V which will paste it.  It should then place that artwork in the square to update all songs in that album.  Hope this helps...

  • Problem creating new sites. The formula refers to a column that does not exist

    Good morning,
    I have a problem creating new sites in my development environment. We have a template which works properly when we create new sites with it. However, when we add one new content type in the site created and save it as a new template, we can't create new sites
    with this template. The error log is that there are one problem in one column [The formula refers to a column that does not exist.  Check the formula for spelling mistakes or change the non-existing column to an existing column]. 
    I have opened the wsp template with visual studio but I can´t discover what column is the problem because the log only refers to the feature (ListInstances).
    Anybody knows how to find my problematic column?
    The error is:

    Hi Enrique,
    According to your description, after added a content type into the new site and save the site as a template, there is an issue when creating another new with the newly
    site template.
    Based on the error message “The formula refers to a column that does not exist…”, seems that it would be an issue of a Calculated column in the content type you added,
    please go through all the Calculated column in that content type to see if the formulas all work well.
    Feel free to reply if there any progress.
    Best regards,
    Patrick

  • Warning that the GPU accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer does not have enough free memory to operate

    [UPDATE: Memory handling for the ray-traced 3D renderer is greatly improved by installing the After Effects CC (12.2) or After Effects CS6 (11.0.4) update.]
    You may see a warning message when using After Effects CC (12.1) that the GPU accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer does not have enough free memory to operate.
    When the GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer is disabled, the CPU version of the ray-traced 3D renderer will operate.
    The message about the GPU-accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer not having enough free memory to operate is because of a change in After Effects CC (12.1) to actually warn you when your computer was in a dangerously low VRAM state. In After Effects CC (12.0) and After Effects CS6 (11.0), a computer with very little VRAM could still try to use the GPU accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer, but it would very, very, very often crash. So, now, After Effects CC (12.1) is just detecting the condition that would lead to a crash, telling you about it, and disabling the GPU acceleration until you have dealt with the problem.
    So, how do you deal with this low-memory condition? You free up VRAM. This means closing all applicaitons that use GPU memory, which includes web browsers (yes, web browsers these days use the GPU). It also means disconnecting additional monitors, each of which uses a lot of VRAM. In some cases, restarting the computer is necessary.
    This is primarily a problem on Mac OS with cards with 1GB of VRAM, such as the GT 650M in the MacBook Pro. These cards on this OS have just barely enough GPU memory (VRAM) to make use of the GPU-accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer under even the best of circumstances. If you want to use the GPU-accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer, you should really be using a more powerful GPU, one with more VRAM.
    Note that this has nothing to do with the OpenGL GPU features in After Effects. Details of the GPU features are here: http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2012/05/gpu-cuda-opengl-features-in-after-effects-cs6. html

    hey Todd
    i have the exact same problem but with my new macpro with renderay no matter what i do even a simple 3d extraction the renderay crashes! My cuda is full up to date and everything not sure why! if you have any way to resolve this issue would be awesome and help us out since i am on a deadline! at the moment!
    I have attached a few screen shots and my computer specs! as you can see the GPU Should not be running low on memory xD since its pretty much nearly full speced!
    The error!
    This is what was there! and all i added was a extractor after this and the error above appears!
    and this is my computer specs as you can see there is no lack of Power, Ram or VRAM here! so not sure why this error is occurring even after updating CUDA
    if you have anything else i could try please let me know! Thanks!
