How to get used to the touch keys on iPhone 4S?

My sister just switched from her old BlackBerry and bought a new iPhone 4S. She loves most of the experience except she has trouble texting with the touch keys. Her BlackBerry had a physical keyboard, so this is probably why she has trouble texting on iPhone.
Do any of you have any suggestions on getting used to the touchscreen keyboard?

Brookstone has a keyboard case for the iPhone. This might be an option to consider.

  • How to get rid of the old songs from iPhone that do not show up in iTunes?

    Every time I delete my entire iTunes library and sync iPhone with it, my music is still loaded with old songs but do not appear on my iTunes. And when I add new songs to my library, the new songs get mixed with old songs.

  • How to get pics in the iphoto app for iphone back onto my macbook pro

    I need to know how to get my pics that are stored on iphone in the "iphoto app for iPhone" back onto my macbook pro's iphoto. macbook was recently wiped out (i didn't back up) during Genius Bar repair

    See this support article  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    The safest way would be to share all photos that are in iPhoto albums to the Camera Roll. When you connect the iPhone to your Mac and open iPhoto you can download the contents of the Camera Roll just like from any camera.

  • How to get mp3s from the cd to my iPhone library in iTunes when I hook the phone up to my iMac

    Always before I hook the iphone up to the imac and open up itunes it recognized the phone and synced. Then you click on the phone and you had a choice of "on this phone" and it would show the folders and songs on the phone. Now, when I hook it up it, it will recognize and sync, but there is no "on this phone" choice and I do not know how to get songs or mp3's from my cd that is in the computer drive to my iphone in itunes. Where did this choice go? How do I get things from a disc to my phone?

    Your post is confusing to me because I don't understand the process you are describing.  Normally, you would import your CD music into iTunes, then sync your iPhone to iTunes, capturing the music on your iPhone.  The "On This Phone" tab would be irrelevant.
    Anyway, you can see "On This Phone" by pressing the iPhone icon toward the top of the iTunes window when the iPhone is plugged into iTunes.  "On This Phone" is a tab toward the rear (the "Summary" tab is at the front).

  • How to get rid of the "time out" when using DAQ AI in the example program

    I try an example file called "AcqVoltageSamples_IntClkDigRef" (Visual C++ .NET). It works great. However, if the program has not recieved the data, it sent out a timeout message. How to get rid of the "time out"? I cannot find anywhere in the code. Is this a property I have to reset somewhere else?
    Thank you,
    Yajai.

    Hello Yajai,
    The example program will use the default value for timeout, 10 seconds. To change this, you will have to set the Stream.Timeout value. I inserted this function into the example and set it equal to -1, and the program will wait indefinitely for the trigger signal without timing out. Please see the attached image to how this was implemented.
    I hope this help. Let me know if you have any further questions.
    Regards,
    Sean C.

  • How can I get (using API) the current sort column for some report

    hello,
    How can I get (using API) the current sort column for some report ? For example something like "fsp_sort_1_desc" - if the user sorts by the first column ?
    I cannot use the :REQUEST for this, sometimes the current sort column is not in the :REQUEST, but it is still active.
    I thought it was posssible by using
    APEX_UTIL.GET_PREFERENCE (
    p_preference IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
    p_user IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT V('USER'))
    RETURN VARCHAR2;
    function, but I don't really know which preference should I pass as parameter.
    looking in WWV_FLOW_PREFERENCES$, i saw preferences_names like FSP4000_P527_R6281510839654570_SORT , I'm not sure how this name is formed.
    I'm using generic columns for that complex report (which has a flexible number of columns shown), and the idea is that sometimes I have to overwrite that sort column, in case the user chose the version of the report with fewer columns than the previous one.
    Can I get (using API) a list of all preferences set for some user ?
    Thank you,

    seems that it is FSP<app_number>P<pagenumber>R<regionnumber>_SORT.
    is there anyplace where I can get these kind of things documented ?
    Thank you.

  • The bottom bar on my mail has disappeared which means I can't create, reply or forward to an email. Any ideas how to get it back? Touching the screen at the bottom doesn't work!

    The bottom bar in my email seems to have disappeared which means I can't create, reply or forward any emails. Any auggestions to how to get it back? Touching the bottom of the screen doesn't work. Thanks.

    Close all apps in the Multitasking Drawer; Double Tap Home Button to open drawer, Swipe up on each app to close it. Repeat until all apps are closed, touch home screen.
    Restart phone, hold both Home and Power/Sleep buttons down at the same time, continue to hold them down until the Apple Logo appears, Release both buttons and wait for phone to restart.
    Check email app to see if bottom bar and new email icon have come back.
    If not, delete the email account in settings and then add it back in again.
    If mail still not working as it should, you may try doing a Reset All Settings reset in Settings => General => Reset => Reset All Settings.  You won't lose any data, music, apps, videos,pictures, etc.  But you will have to go back in and turn on or off any settings you changed on your phone because everything will be set back to factory defaults.

  • Satellite A300 The Touch keys are not working since I got it

    Hello!
    My sister bought this amazing laptop for me and since the date that I got it (5 months ago) , I was not able to use the touch keys on the top of the keypad. At first, I thought I was doing something wrong and that I needed to activate the, but I read the whole manual and I couldn't get an option to activate it. I am using Windows Xp professional with service pack 3. Please help me as soon as possible. I listen to music a lot while I work with my computer and it would save me a lot of time to get those buttons to work.
    Thanks in advance.
    Denise

    Hi!
    Thanks for your replies but in this case, it is not the Touch pad the one that it is not working. They are the touch keys that are on the top of the keypad on the right of the power on button. They are 6 of them. One seems to me for muting or unmuting the sound, other four are the regular play/pause, rewind, stops and forward button ant the other one has like the drawing of a music note. Do you know how to make them work?
    Thanks
    Denise

  • How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?

    Hi.  My subject says it all.  How can I permanently disable the "fn" key?
    At first I thought I had a virus or something because when I typed only weird symbols came out.  Then I reset the computer.  Then I couldn't even log in.  I tried Time Machine etc.
    Then I realized that the "fn" key wasn't working right.  It seems to be working backwards.  It acts like it's being pushed when it's not, and when I do push it it acts like it's not being used.
    So it's kind of a simple problem but it's really annoying.
    Is there a way I can just disable it permanently?  Even physical force if necessary.  I tried to break it but it wouldn't break.  I don't really use the key anyway so it doesn't really matter.  I don't want to pay a bunch of money to replace a key I don't even use.
    Thanks.  I hope someone knows.

    That's the best answer.  Yeah usually if you press "fn" or "option" you can get it to work for awhile.
    Yeah I have considered some kind of external keyboard also.  It will make a laptop less laptopish.  But it could do the job for awhile.
    It's sad because I don't even care about the "fn" or "option" keys.
    But anyway it's not catastrophic at least.
    And yeah maybe we can get a new computer later or something.  I like mine though.  It's customized and is how I like it right now.
    Anyway thanks for the reply.

  • How do you use your iPod Touch?

    I'm thinking of buying an ipod touch 5th gen, but I have to convince myself that it would help me significantly before I drop $300 on a device. My question: how do you use your iPod Touch, aka, what things have helped you significantly, excluding games? I've heard a ton about how awesome the new version is, and everything about its camera and retina display, but I want to know that I would actually use one first....
    Thanks.

    Surf the web from bed and coffee shops/bookstores.  When in a store that has WiFi I may research a product that looks interesting to buy.
    It is a camera that is always with you (assuming you always take it with you), so you can capture that picture that happens once in a life time.  Also the camera is great when shopping for "Big Ticket" items as you can take pictures to remind you of things you were looking at so you can do additional research at home before making your final decision.
    Check my mail from bed and coffee shops/bookstores, etc... when WiFi is available.
    Use it as an alarm clock, meeting reminder, todo reminder.
    Take notes (not school notes, just ideas, stuff I maybe want to buy, useful information I may pick up in a bookstore, books I may want to buy, etc...)
    Contains my contacts for friends, family, and businesses (plumber, dentist, doctor, etc...)
    Plays music, or in my case, I listen to podcasts
    Reading ebooks.  I use it a lot to read ebooks.  It is always with me, so I can read a book anywhere, such as waiting in a doctor/dentist office, at the motor vehicle registry.  And reading in bed is great as when you fall asleep, it remembers what page you were on vs that book that drops onto your face and wakes you back up while at the same time loosing your page
    The Maps app is great for finding where something is located, and plotting how to get there (not as good as having an iPhone with GPS, but still useful).  Also the satellite images make it easier to visualize where you are going.
    When connected to WiFi it can be used for Facetime when calling a friend or family member that also has an iOS device.  Seeing a loved one when they are not near can be emotionally satisfying.  You can also make skype calls.
    I use 1Password to store all my passwords.  It keeps them secure, I always have them with me, and I do not need to use the same password over and over again, or make them too simple to remember.  1Password has a built-in browser so you it can substitute the correct password for the web site you are visting without actually needing to look it up.
    1Password related but not passwords.  Because 1Password encrypts all the data it holds, I can also store sensitive information (such as medical conditions, or other information I do not want made public should my device be lost or stolen), yet always have that information with me should I need it.
    I can get the weather.  This week, I've been using an app to get high/low Tide infromation, plus sunrise information.  But getting weather info when you wake up so you can plan your day and if you need to shovel the driveway before going to work.  I find it easier to get the weather from my iOS device than it is to use my laptop or turn on the Weather Channel.
    Calclator.  2+2 = 4, but there are times you do need to get something right, and calculators are useful. They have all kinds available, including hexidecimal calculators for programmers.
    RSS newsfeed reader (I follow about 20+ feeds, including these discussions groups via RSS feeds).
    Travel services.  Most airports have WiFi, and you can get updated travel info for your flights via some speciallized travel apps.
    If you are into tracking your car mileage, gas usage, maintenance costs, etc..., there are apps for that.
    While you can watch video on your iOS device (downloaded movies, YouTube), you can also stream movies from services such as Netflix.  This can be useful when traveling, or if you are stuck in bed with a cold, or if you have lost control of the "Remote" and do not want to watch "Dancing with the Stars"
    TV related, there are apps that will give you the TV schedule for your area, so you can browse the shows on this evening.
    List.  You can keep lists, including grocery shopping lists, items to pack for a trip lists, things to do for that bathroom remodel, things you need to get before school starts, Christmas lists, etc....  NOTE:  Ideas for Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary gifts may come anytime during the year, but if you do not write them down, you may be scratching your head when the event arrives.  Putting them in a list can help you later on.
    You can get a Level app.  You may laugh, but I have actually used my iOS device to check if something was level.  It was there, and a carpenters level was not.  Not perfect, but it did what I needed at the time.
    Finding a good resturante (Yelp, Urbanspoon, etc...).  The iOS device can be very helpful in finding a good nearby place to eat when away from home, or even discovering a new play where you live to get out of that eat at the same place rut.
    That is some of the things I use my iOS device for.

  • How do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?

    how do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?  can they share apps and music etc. I'm not very good at any tech so advise would be much appreciated.

    Yes. You can sync an unlimited number of iDvies that you control to one iTunes library/account. If using the same iTunes library on the same comutr just make sure that yu go to the ap. music and other pane for the iPod in iTunes and select sycn selected items. Not the the whole library.  That way each iPod can have it own contents.

  • How can I use my iPod Touch as a voice recorder?

    thanks
    pkiran

    Hi PKG,
    the "GiveFeedback" and "SendTo" links are called "FlexUI" commands. Most of that stuff is highly configurable and naturally you can remove them in the KM Configuration at
    SystemAdmin->SystemConfig->KM->CM->UserInterface
    -> ... -> ResourceRnderer
    Your ResourceRenderer uses a CommandGroup. In this CommandGroup you can add/remove commands.
    For example un your case its the CommandGroup "NewsDisplayGroup"
    Kind Regards
