How do you get the keyboard to appear if it doesn't do so automatically?

When I am using the iPad, the keyboard automatically appears when I put my finger on a text box. However, after the latest iOS upgrade, this stops working occasionally, and I don't know how to get the keyboard back. Then, when I attempt to put text in, all I get is an option to '"paste." Any clues as to what's going on?

- Connect the iPod to the computer and try to restore the iPod via iTunes
- If iTunes did not see the iPod see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will all a restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Then,  lett the battery fully drain. Charge for a couple of hours and try again.
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.  You likely have a hardware probme.  Maybe a dead battery.

  • How can you get the dashes to appear inbetween phone numbers

    Is there anyway that I can get the dashes to appear so phone numbers do not look like a big block of numbers.  so instead of 18001234567 is goes 1-800-123-4567.  I looked in options and it does not look like it is possible

    Hi,
    The dashes aren't necessary for the actual call so the Blackberry doesn't waste space (memory) holding the character.
    Make sense?

    how do you get the text box text properties dialog box to appear in Adobe Reader XI on a MAC? I know windows is Ctrl-E but can't figure out what to hit for Mac.

    Right-click the toolbar and you should find it there (including the short-cut, which is probably Cmd+E).

    Hi Michael-
    I do not have any problem with using shift registers in timed loops.  What version of LabVIEW are you using?  Can you please elaborate on why neither shift registers or local variables meet your needs?  I have attached a VI that saves a previous iteration and then computes and displays the difference.  Let me know if you have problems running it.
    Thanks-

  • How do you get the Apple Wireless Keyboard to accept function keys?

    I use the Apple Wireless Keyboard with my iPad2 and I use the VPN to connect to my work-related software which requires that I use some of the function keys as actual F1, F2, F3,...etc.  When I hit F2, the iPad2 responds with the Screen Brighter action.  How do I get the keyboard input to just be F2?  Thanks!

    Thanks. But I tried that and nothing happens.  I've looked though all the System Preferences sections and can't find anything on this.

  • How do I get the keyboard in the notes section of the ipad to pop up? It was working all day today and then stopped working.

    How do I get the keyboard in the notes section of the ipad to pop up? It was working all day today and then stopped. 

    I find it's touchy.  Tap anywhere on the note to bring up the keyboard. If you tap and hold, you won't bring up the keyboard. Just tap momentarily.
    If you can't get it to work, try restarting your iPad.  Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If it still doesn't work, try resetting your iPad.  Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • How can you get the schedule of a single reoccurring job with Restart ability in Redwood to pause when it has failed...?

    We need the Request Restart ability when scheduling a single reoccurring job in Redwood. Most of our jobs are scheduled in CHAINs which offers the Final Status Handler on Step level, and the schedule is "paused" when a job in the CHAIN has failed ( the next instance does not populate until the OP MSG has been Replied to) , and once the OPERATOR message is replied to, the CHAIN can resume running again ( desired ) . But we need this same ability when scheduling a single job not in a CHAIN. In our testing, we set up a job with Request Restart chosen on the Error , Killed and Unknown selections on the Restart Behavior Tab. But we found when a job is scheduled say once a day at 8AM, and when it fails, an OPERATOR msg appears allowing a Restart choice ( desired), but the next day's schedule also populates ( undesired) and we do NOT want the schedule to continue on yet because we need a chance to fix the error before the next insance runs for business reasons. So how can you get the schedule of a single reoccurring job with Restart ability in Redwood to pause when it has failed...?

    Hello Fran,
    You can wrap the job chain in a master job chain in the first step and set the final status handler there.
    You can also set the Restart Behavior to 'Stop Submit Frame', in that case you will have to resubmit the job once you are finished troubleshooting.
    Regards Gerben
