How to backspace through text without deleting letters?

Hi,
Am trying to remove a small piece of text from the middle of a long URL and cannot figure out how to backspace without deleting anything. Have tried to touch where I want deletion point to begin but iPad keeps jumping to the end of the string, then I can't get back to the beginning. Seems like you would be able to scroll backwards or use something similar to the "black X" on the keyboard but without deleting!! Help! This has been driving me nuts.

Thanks, using "tap and hold" then magnifying glass works okay but seems so inefficient and fussy. Would be great of you could toggle between -backspace and delete- and - backspace without deleting- using the Backspace key.
Is there a way to control the speed with which the -backspace and delete- jumps from deleting single letters to deleting blocks of letters?
Thanks
Chaboo

  • How to break flowing text without deleting parts of it?

    Hello,
    is it possible to break a text that flows across multiple pages in one point without automatically deleting the content of the text boxes below the break? Currently, if I have text flowing across several pages and text boxes, any break that I do at one point ("un-chaining") will result in the text in the following text boxes to be deleted.
    Thanks!

    I have an old macbook that i want to give away.  i want to delete my information such as contacts mail etc.  how can i do that without deleting it from my new macbook pro or my ipad?

    Go to System Preferences > iCloud and turn iCloud off.
    Restart holding the Command and R keys and then choose to reinstall Mac OS X.  If you have applicaitons on the machine that should not be transfered to another party, after the restart choose Disk Utility and erase the hard drive and then install Mac OS X...that will return the machine to factory condition.

    I saw a post on how to load iMovie 6 without deleting iMovie 9 or iLife 11 I can't find the post now does anyone know if this is possible. I do not want risk not being able to reload iMovie 9 it appears that I would have to reload the whole  iLife suit

    Could have been mine!
    Happily this is easily achieved, but it has to be done backwards.
    Delete iMovie 9 (just drag it to the trash). Now install iMovie 6 from the iLife 6 install disks.
    Now re-install iMovie 9. This automatically moves iMovie 6 into a folder it creates in your Applications folder called iMovie Previous Version.
    Now you have them both, and you can have both in the Dock as well.
    Alternatively you could try this method, suggested by poster Uitech:
    Open a terminal and type "touch /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iLife08.plist"
    (No quotes)
    Install iMovieHD6 from the iLife 6 install disk.
    This works with both Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.

  • How do I manually sync without deleting everything on my iphone?

    A few weeks ago my computer broke and I lost everything on it, I got a mac book pro and but now when I try to add songs to my iphone from it it wont let me. If I click sync manually it wll erase everything on the iphone. How do I add songs to my iphone without deleting everything on it?

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

  • I had to change my apple ID now how do I update icloud without deleting all cloud data on the computer?

    My provider is terminating email service so I had to change my apple ID.  I did that in iTunes but now my icloud on my PC wants me to sign in under my old id, I don't see a way to update to the new ID without deleting all cloud data on the PC.  Is there another way so I don't have to resync everything from the cloud?

    Check the list in the link below, how to change all services, after you changed your Apple ID:
    What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071
    In particular, for iCloud:
    Update your Apple ID or password on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, and Apple TV.
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you're signed out, enter your updated Apple ID or password. The data in iCloud will automatically appear on your device after you sign in.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm. You might need to enter your password. Your data will remain in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter your updated Apple ID or password.

    My understanding is that music syncing is a one way process from computer iTunes to your iPhone.  I think what you are asking is to have IOS synching back to an OSX or PC system.  The software doesn't work that way.
    You either have to uncheck the songs to be synced or create a separate playlist for "BC Canada iPhone" and only sync that playlist.
    As well any purchases you made on your iPhone need to be transferred to your iTunes so they can come back to your phone when you re-sync.
    Hope this helps, even though it's not the answer you might have wanted.
    Cheers

  • How to sync pdf  files without deleting existing ones

    Hello Everyone,
    I am new to the apple world and i recently bought an iphone 5 and an ipad mini. i am loving using them but i am facing a problem everytime i try to sync media. whenever i upload new stuff its automatically deleting the existing stuff. how do i upload new stuff ( media and pdf's) without deleting the existing ones ??
    NEED HELP ASAP !!!
    Thank you.

    "Upload"? What does that mean to you? Syncing form iTunes? Is that what you mean? If it is what you mean, you need to select all of the content that you want to sync by setting sync preferences and once you do that, your media should not be deleted every time that you sync.
    However if you are referring to Photos as media, Yoy can only sync one folder of photos from your computer at a time. Of you switch to another photos folder, the existing photos on the iPad will be erased.
    So if you would explain exactly what you mean and what you are doing, it will be easier to offer a solution.

  • How to see through text?

    I've read some online advice about this, but perhaps my question is more complex.  I want to see through text, so a flag photo shows up inside of it.  But below that is another photo (suitcase).  So the text with the flag photo  inside is on top of a suitcase image.    So, how to do?  Mucho many thanks in advance!

    In this case it might be easiet to convert the text to outlines (select the frame not the text itself, so you get a "compund path"), then cut the image and select the type you converted, paste into.
