Auto-correcting keyboard not in touch?

I was just reading the review in Ars Technica, when I noticed this:
"If you're new to the iPod touch/iPhone keyboarding experience, it's really not difficult to master. If your dexterity score is in the single digits, using the keyboard may be a bit on the difficult side, but with a little care and persistence, you should be able to master it. *The spiffy text-correction feature from the iPhone is missing on the iPod touch, however.*"
Is that true? Could someone please provide some rationale to the thought-process that determines what features get axed and what do not? I still maintain that ther's no real need to remove ANY software-features when compared to the iPhone, yet here we are. Apple is really starting to push it, we are nearing the threshold where touch transforms from a great mediaplayer in to artificially crippled and watered-down iPhone....

that was actually a thread I started . It's a good thing that that particular claim was shot down quick.

  • Is it possible to disable the auto-correct on an ipod touch?

    Was planning to order an ipod touch. Primarily to use for email whilst travelling. But I can't stand auto correct or predictive text. I always forget to check if the auto feature has changed what I wrote to something totally different! Can anyone tell me if there's a way to disable this feature on an ipod touch?

    Yes, in fact there is a way. On the iPod, tap Settings. Then, go to General. Scroll down and tap Keyboard. Tap Auto-correction and it should turn off, unless it is already off - then this will just turn it back on. You can put auto-correction on or off anytime you want. Hope this helped (:

  • Physical keyboard not working, touch screen not working on Torch 9800

    I've had this phone a little over a year. First, my physical keyboard stops working. It is the one I use the most. I wasjust using the virtual keyboard and when I was watching tv, I decided to turn my phone on to check it (as I usually keep it on silent.) I turned it on and the touch screen would not work for me. I opened the physical keyboard, and it is working fine now, as is the track pad, but I cannot use the touch screen by actually touching it. Anyone else have this problem? How do I fix it?
    **Edit** I checked my phone right after I posted it and now neither are working.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Good luck!

  • How do I stop auto-correct?, how do I stop auto-correct?

    how do I cancel auto-correct on an iPod Touch?

    Never mind, I just figured it out using the "more like this" entries.

  • Cannot turn-off Auto Correction and leave Check Spelling On

    For some reason, when you turn off Auto correction- (keyboard settings) it also turns off check spelling.
    Hope thesre is a fix for this.

    I wish I knew the answer to that and many other questions. We are all just other iPad users like you trying to help each other sort through any problems that may arise. Frankly, I would love to be able to turn off auto correct and keep spell check on just like you. The only recourse we have right now is to offer our feedback to Apple about it and you can do that by clicking on this...

  • Ipod touch - auto correction / word completion when typing ...

    (ipod touch 16GB; Firmware 2.0)
    I would like to switch off the auto completion / auto correction, because its moth bothersome when i'm typing notes or writing emails. Is there anyway to switch this off?

    When an autocorrection pops up and you want to use it, just type a space, punctuation mark, or return character.
    From page 28 of http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_3.1_UserGuide.pdf
    Accept or reject dictionary suggestions:
    To reject the suggested word, finish typing the word as you want it, then tap the “x” to dismiss the suggestion before typing anything else. Each time you reject a suggestion for the same word, iPod touch becomes more likely to accept your word.
    To use the suggested word, type a space, punctuation mark, or return character.

  • Yoga 2 Keyboard not working, but touch pad and touch screen fine

    I've lost the use of my keyboard, but not the touch pad. Restarting and converting to table mode and back doesn't correct the issue. Thoughts? I'm not sur where to go from here. Could the keyboard be physically dead?

    You should test the keyboard in the BIOS menu and see whether it works.
    1) Press on the recovery button (next to the power button, you may need a small screwdriver).

    2) Then there is an option menu for entering recovery, bios, etc.
    https://www.flickr.com/photos/lead_org/14512183979/in/set-72157639007378054
    Use your keyboard and see whether it works in that option menu. If it doesn't work then it is a faulty keyboard.

  • My MacBook Pro keyboard not working correctly after Win7 bootcamp installation. In OSx boot it keep Win keyboard. How can I have Mac keyboard in OS boot and Win keyboard in Win boot?

    My MacBook Pro keyboard not working correctly after Win7 bootcamp installation.
    Installation went well but when I boot either with OSx or Win it always keeps Windows keyboard.
    How can I have Mac keyboard in OS boot and Win keyboard in Win boot?

    Hi - I have the exact same model as your MacBook and had a few questions as mine is acting up. I upgraded the ram to 8gb (2x 4GB ram) and ever since then my computer has not been running as smoothly and the start up time is horrendous. Have you encountered this problem? And if so how did you fix? What would you advise me do?
    I was thinking of reverting back to the original factory 4GB then rebooting the entire computer. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!

    Keyboard not working correctly after updating to 8.1 64bit pro.
    After I updated, everything seemed ok and then all of the sudden I rebooted and only the f1 – f12 row would work. I resorted to resorted to unplugging and removing the battery and it would work for a short amount of time. This has been reported on other laptops as well, see here.

    I think it can be solved with a driver update from hp or the keyboard builder but none is online.

    Please put the units product no. in the link and check if your PC is tested by HP with Windows 8.1

  • Updated iphone 5 to iOS 6.1.3, now trouble with keyboard not responding correctly and screen zooming in by itself...

    updated iphone 5 to iOS 6.1.3, now I am having trouble with keyboard not responding correctly and screen zooming in by itself...
    Buttons pressing themself...
    Also, my main screen is permanently zoomed in...
    suggestions?

    Double tap the screen with THREE fingers, that should get it back to normal again.
    Then go into Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom > OFF.
    Not too sure about the keyboard and random button presses though.  Back it up and restore from iTunes, see if that fixes it.

  • Auto brightness does not work after upgrade from iOS5 to iOS6 on my iPod touch. Is this intended by Apple, or is it a bug?

    I attempted to ask this question, yesterday. However, I am not used to typing with my thumbs, yet, and messed it up some. So, I will give this another try. Auto brightness does not work after upgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 6 on my iPod touch. Is this intended by Apple, or is it a bug?

    Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
    iOS 6 changed how that feature works.

  • Ipad air keyboard not auto returning

    I have an ipad air 1 when typing long emails i cant see what im typing but if i hit return i should be able to.
    I've looked in settings and i can see anything ive changed.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Much appreciated.

    Hi angelorjoseph,
    If you are having issues with your XiPad's keyboard not appering when it should, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Why is "internet" flagged as miss-spelling in Indesign but not auto-corrected?

    when the entire support system for Indesign exists on the internet, why is this word not recognised by the Indesign inbuilt dictionary?
    Further, I have auto-correct set to ON!  Yet it's not correcting this to whatever it assumes is the correct spelling.  Given that the listed suggestions when middle tapping are "Internet" or "INTERNET" why is it not auto-correcting to one of these?  It's not like it could be some other word I'm trying to type.

    I'm guilty of being a little "new school" in this regards. I type a lot, mostly explaining stuff and demonstrating stuff, and illustrating points and ideas, thoughts and concepts, structures and paradigms of approaches and **** like that.  Really utter nonsense, more than anything... and I utterly rely on spell check auto-correct.  I actually use it much more like an Auto-Complete than autocorrect.  Such is my reliance on it.
    There's a certain joy to structuring words to a space, that's part of a design vanity and aesthetic that means little to few.  But those times that I've used that approach in Indesign I'm stuck wondering how my spelling is doing.  Because my spelling, mostly, sucks.
    It would be REALLY nice, to have an option, apart from these other options, to use the OS (in this case Mac OS X) spell check throughout Indesign, in addition to the and concurrent with the custom library of personal spell corrections.  In this manner it could be like Microsoft word, in the sense that the auto-correct of Indesign can be used like a "macro" and the OS auto-correct (which I've trained heavily to my words and way of expressing myself) can be running "as normal".
    I find it a little strange that a layout program doesn't have this ability to use the host OS's spell check, because I can't be the only designer that's both using the layout features of Indesign and generating the content that goes into that layout.  And it's completely undesirable to be swapping between a word processor, or even the inbuilt editor of Indesign, when I would much rather see my words go where they're going to be, live, and auto-corrected in whatever manner I choose.
    But, there you go.  My two cents on something it appears nobody else cares about, thinks about or works like. 
    As to programming, yes, I fully understand, the words and phrases and keywords from that... you'd need a while to train word processor style environment to deal with that.  I have often wondered why code editors don't learn from the auto-completes of word processors, and vice-versa. 
    I really like the way Xcode does Objective-C suggestive completion, for example.  That's unbelievably fantastic, particularly for someone like me that knows very little programming and even less of Foundation and CocoaTouch etc.  I don't have to keep going back to the docs, just need to start with the first few letters of the method/class and go from there... it's basically helping me write the line from there. 
    Imagine a word processor like that...
