Deleting word deletes space before it as well

I don't know if this has always been the case, but I've only just started to notice it and it is frustrating the **** out of me.
In pages on the iphone and iPad, if I delete all the letters in the word, the space before the word automatically gets deleted as well.
Try it.
I just went to the apple store and it's happening on their ipads as well.
I type for a living and cannot tell you how many thousands of times today I had to go back and correct words that had no space between them.
Did someone really think that when I press delete once what I actually want is to delete twice?!
So, anyone know if there's a way around this issue? I'm wondering if it came in with ios 7? Interestingly it's only pages, not happening on notes or email etc.

Either type with an X in front of where you're typing, or turn on tracking and set to "final" in settings.
Best we have for now!

Bug: pressing backspace to delete a word in Pages for iOS automatically deletes space before word

Hi guys,
When I delete a word in Pages for iOS 7 character-by-character, the deletion automatically includes the space before the word, even if I don't initiate a keypress for that space. This is sporadic in that it consistently occurs in some sections of text (usually at the end of lines) and not in others, in paragraphs with custom Styles and in paragraphs with default Styles alike.
If the bug happened consistently, I could probably by habit overcome this extra deletion. However, since it does not happen in every circumstance, it's unpredictable and as such very disruptive to my workflow.
This occurs in new documents with no formatting. I've also tried Resetting All Settings, restoring the app through the Settings menu, and deleting and re-downloading the app from the App Store. It occurs both when I use my Bluetooth wireless keyboard (Logitech) and when I use the iPad Mini's OS keyboard.
I really don't want to restore my entire iPad just to fix this problem, as I think it's an app-based bug (the problem does not happen at all in any other text app).
This Pages version is 1.7.2, and I'm using iOS 7.0.2 on an iPad Mini WiFi only.
Could anyone with a similar setup try this out? I can't be the only one...right?

I am experiencing this as well. In another thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5374836) it appears someone contacted support about it and was told this is expected behavior.
For me, this will cause me to stop using Pages. It's extremely aggravating.

Pages deletes spaces prior to words when backspacing.

Why does Pages on my iOS delete the space before a word when I backspace the word? Can I turn this off?
To clarify, if I deleted the word "blue" from "the sky is blue," it would, without a keystroke, also delete the space between "is" and "blue." That means I have to retype the space to keep going. This asinine "feature" (BUG!) is making it almost impossible for me to use Pages on my iPad, and I'm not about to relearn how to type just to accommodate it.
**I have iOS 7, Pages from 2012, an iPad 3 with retina display.

I am having the same problem. It is not hen I select a word, it is when I just use the backspace key.
Ex. If I am typing "I like dogs." And instead I accidentally typed "I like cats." I realize the mistake and I press backspace once, it erases to "s" next backspace erases the "t" next backspace erase the "a" next backspace erases BOTH the "c" and the space.
This was NOT a feature before. I use my iPad and apple bluetooth keyboard a lot to write. This is causing me tremendous productivity issues. I don't know what update did it -- but I just finished cursing my way through my first paper of this semester -- and I didn't have the problem last semester.
This is happening in all the iwork programs - numbers, pages, keynote.
I'm beyond frustrated.

How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well?

How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well, I keep deleting stuff from iTunes to try and free up some space only to find the file still in the library?

It depends upon what preferences settings you use. Most people use default settings so when you delete an item it asks you if you want to get rid of the file too.
If iTunes absolutely refuses to get rid of the file (I have never heard of this by the way) you can always go to the media folder or wherever the file is located and drag it to the trash yourself.

How do I remove a space before the first word in a sentence using find and replace or GREP?

Right, so I am laying out a document in inDesign from a word document and it has a space before every first word in a sentence. It is really annoying and I need a quick way to get rid of them. I wasn't too sure how to do it with find/change but I am sure there is a way in GREP if someone can help me. I have included an image so that people can see exactly what I mean.

The ^ location works for all paragraphs.
But a note to the OP, there is a sample script called FindChangeByList that removes leading and trailing spaces as well as extra spaces after punctuation, all in one go. But if you want to continue to use a GREP find/change to remove leading space, I'd modify Joel's suggestion to ^\s+ to get those cases where the user typed multiple spaces as well.
And don't forget there are actually legitimate places for leading tabs, which both the script and this GREP will find and remove, so be careful.

Delete spaces on the right of a string of characters

Hi,
I'd like to know how to delete space on the right of a string of characters and ONLY the ones on the right in order I can get the real length of the string (I don't want to condense the spaces between words even though there's more than one).
data: text(20).
text = 'SAP Forum'
In this case, if I use both DESCRIBE LENGTH and DESCRIBE OUTPUT LENGTH, the result will be 20, but the real length is 9.

Use STRLEN( ), as described by the other posters.
To delete space chars on the right of a string, use following static method:
CALL METHOD cl_abap_string_utilities=>del_trailing_blanks
CHANGING
str = lv_text.

I have enabled iCloud on my iPhone. In case i delete the photos from my phone would they still be on my iCloud account or will it sync and delete it on iCloud as well?

Hello lonestar17,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you are curious about how iCloud stores your photos. Photo Stream stores your photos temporarily so that you can have time to sync them to your computer, but the photos will expire after 30 days:
Does using My Photo Stream substitute for using iCloud Backup or iTunes to back up the photos in my Camera Roll ?
No. Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days. To save or back up these photos, you must copy them from My Photo Stream to your Camera Roll on your iOS device. You can then back up your Camera Roll using iCloud or iTunes.
How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with My Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream. For iCloud Control Panel 2.0 to 2.1.2 users, the path isC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream .

With iOS 6 on my 4th gen iTouch I am finding I no have to delete the playlist from my iTouch, not the when I sync. Now the paylist is being deleted from my library as well. What am I doing wrong?

With the new iOS 6 I have to use on my old iTouch (4th gen) instead of deleting a playlist thru the sync, I was instructed to delete it on the device. Now when I sync I am finding the playlist has been deleted from the library as well. I just want it off teh device, not erased. What am I doing wrong?

What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

If they are both using the same iCloud ID (assuming you are running your mail from iCloud), then yes, the email will disappear from your Mac after you delete it from your phone and after your phone sycs with iCloud and your Mac syncs with iCloud.
I use a windows phone, but it works the same.

You can select with items so sync if you dont want everything on there. Just click the iphone in itunes and click music. THere you can pick and choose what you sync.

How can I set up my email so when I delete mail from my Mac it deletes from my iPhone as well?

That is a function of your email account, if it is an Imap account it will sync, if it's a POP account, it won't.

Space Before Text in Word Document

Having generated a word document I noticed that thre was
space before all my paragraphs. Simple to fix, or so I thought.
When I checked the paragraph setting s in word there was no space
before the paragraph. Checked the paragraph above, and that did not
have space after set.

If the extra spacing is not in your Word output files, then
it must be in your RH source files.
There's either something at each of the paragraphs, or in the
HEAD section of the topic, or in your CSS style sheet assigned to
the topic. The proximity of styling info to its content is what
determines its effect.
Good luck,
Leon

I have highlighted words in an .iba file. Now I need to increase the space before (and/or after) the paragraph it's contained in. If I increase the space after, the height of the highlighting increases also. Is there any way around this?

Delete somthing before its fully downloaded?

delete somthing before its fully downloaded?? i have a bunch of videos that arent fully downloaded. i do not want them. what do i do. everytime i delet them close itunes open it theyre still there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once an item enters the download queue, the user cannot remove it. Either let the downloads complete (easiest) or contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the Contact page and ask them if they'll remove the item(s) from your queue for you.
