HT1349 My iPhone keyboard doesn't click

My IPhone 4 keyboard doesn't click.  I tried to check the settings (Sounds ➡ Keyboard Clicks) but it's ON. What should I do to make it work again?

For everyone's information, the "silent switch" is on the top left side of the iPhone 4. I sometimes switch it on accidentally, and being new to iPhones, can't figure out what's wrong. The photo below shows the silent switch
in the "on" position (orange / red bar showing above switch). Flick the switch up to turn the silent switch "off", then you should get your keyboard sounds back.

    Keyboard doesn't show up when I want 2 add a new contacts name on my iPhone 4S

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Hello! Ever since I upgraded my iPhone 5s to IOS 7.1, I am unable to access the iPhone Keyboard if I access contacts the recent calls tab. I am also unable to access the keyboard if I want to search for a contact as long as I went through the recent calls

    Hello! Ever since I upgraded my iPhone 5s to IOS 7.1, I am unable to access the iPhone Keyboard if I access contacts using the recent calls tab. I am also unable to access the keyboard if I want to search for a contact as long as I went through the recent calls tab. Has anyone a fix for this problem? If you want to try it out, do the following?
    Dial a number from your iPhone Keypad. After cutting the call, try to save the number you just dialled to your contacts by choosing the new contact option. You will see that you will not be able to key in the name of your new contact.

    Works fine for me.
    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Keyboard doesn't appear in Messages+ on HTC M8

    My keyboard doesn't appear when I try to type a message in Messages+.  It appears when I type in the to box.  Instead of the keyboard I have a box lets you send gifts, photos, audio, etc.  I've tried restarting numerous times with no effect.  Has anyone else had this issue?  I like the verizon messaging app and don't want to use another, if possible. 

    shelsuz23,
    You've come to the right place for help! Being able to use the keyboard while in the message + app is definitely important.
    When did this issue start? Do you have the most current software version running on the phone http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-95738/? Have you checked that the Verizon Messages+ application is updated to version 5.5.17 or later. Please go to the Google Playstore and update the Verizon Messages+ application and retest.

  • Please, i bought a new track pad for my imac. it is working well when my imac is on. But, anytime i off my imac and wish to on it again, My track pad will be connected but it doesn't click i will need a mouse to log in my password first . Any help?

    To be specific. I have the imac late 2013 model, and i just bought the trackpad this October 2014. I have been using magic mouse without any problem. I just want to have a new experience with the trackpad.  Any time i on my imac, i will have a normal screen with my picture and a guest column at the center. I need to click either my picture or the guest in order to have the space where i can key in my password with the keyboard. But unfortunately, my trackpad will show that it is connected and the cursor will be moving in front of the screen if i touch the trackpad, but if i try to click, i will get no response. I have to put back batteries inside my magic mouse and then click on my picture if i want to log in with my id or i click on the guest image if i want to log in as a guest. it is only after this that my trackpad will start responding.
    i want to use only trackpad for now so as to be more efficient with it. I don't want to be putting back batteries inside the magic mouse only to on my imac. I need a solution please.
    Thanks.

    It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
    Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
    Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.

  • I just updated my iphone to ios7 and I keep getting stuck at the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. I click 'Restore from Itunes Backup', but it only ends up restarting after restoring and fails to get past the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. Any ideas?

    Normally, I would suggest restoring the iPad and uninstall and reinstall iTunes but you have done both of those things - more times than you ever imagined!
    Have you thought about turning auto syncing off?
    Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    If you do this you can backup the iPad right away before it syncs. You may want to go into all of the iTunes tabs and just make sure that all of the current content on the iPad is selected to sync before you actually do sync.
    This doesn't solve the problem, but it would prevent the automatic sync and erasing content. Hopefully, in the next few days- when iOS 5 is released - you will also be relieved of this weird iPad behavior - since the iOS devices are supposed to become PC free.
    BTW - and this is no excuse for what you are experiencing, but I have found that some of the game apps that I had on my iPad turned out to be quite troublesome and after I removed them, my problems went away. I know that is almost sacrilege with regard to the Angry Birds addiction .... But I'm just saying ...

  • I recently got a used macbook pro, and the backlight on the keyboard doesn't light up all the way, I was wondering how much it would cost to get it fixed..

    MacBook pro keyboard doesn't light up all the way, I don't know why and I was wondering how much it could cost for repairs.

    If there is Warranty or AppleCare it will be covered at Apple Store. If no coverage, Apple does not repair iPhone 4 Power/Lock Button, for $149 they will give you a perfect replacement iPhone 4 exactly like yours with a 90 day Warranty. For the time being or as a permanent solution you can use perfect Virtual Lock Button. Tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap the new small white screen button > Device > Lock. You can even use this button to turn the iPhone OFF. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, ie charger or USB port of computer.

  • My iPad displays on find my iPhone but doesn't locate

    My iPad displays on find my iPhone but doesn't locate

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
        1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
        2.    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
        3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Keyboard doesn't show to type id apple password!!

    Whenever I need to type my password from id apple (to update or buy app on app store) the keyboard doesn't appear. I can't submit my password and update my apps on ipad1. Any ideas?

    Crispac-
    Do you happen to have a wireless bluetooth keyboard?  When one is connected to the iPad, the iPad's keyboard does not appear.
    You may need to go to Settings-General-Bluetooth, click the blue arrow at the right side of the Keyboard entry, and choose "Forget this Device".
    Or setting Bluetooth to OFF may be sufficient.

  • My iPhone keyboard is messed up.. But I have warranty..!

    my iPhone keyboard is messed up and I have the apple care warranty thing. Can they give me a brand new one or does my iphone need to be lost to get a brand new one??thanks

    AppleCare doesn't cover lost phones.. and it is not a Warranty.. AppleCare is a protection plan that covers non-accidental damage. Make an appointment with the Genius bar at your local Apple store (this can be done online at home). They will look at it and see if it warrants a replacement or a repair.

  • IPhone keyboard issue = loosing my data since unable to unlock it!

    Request to the Forum
    Is there other ppl with the issue expalined below?
    Note: I've already raised it as a feedback to Apple
    Background
    4 weeks old iphone 5S, no dammage
    iOS7.
    Showing vertical flashing lines, screen unusable
    Happened when I was browsing it (Facebook)!
    Request to the Apple Store support
    Have the phone replaced
    Keep my data (no backup yet made on it)
    Issue
    Not able to backup the data since not able to type my password!
    Answer from Apple Store
    We have to change it as we can't fix the screen
    Your data will be wipped out --> Would you tell a user that he will loose his PC data since his keyboard doesn't work?!
    Requests to Apple
    Find a fix for this screen blinking issue as it is clearly a bug!
    Apple stores to have a way to bypass the lock screen - No data privacy involved here! I own the phone and I know the password, just can't type in!

    Again, I think you are mistaking 2 things:
    1- Backup issue = hard drive related.
    2- Lock screen issue = screen / OS related.
    So yes, of course if I had backed up everything since day 1, and every single minute that won't be an issue...
    HOWEVER, the issue here is that issue 1 and issue 2 are interconnected, where they SHOULDN'T!
    Again, if I had broken my iPhone HD, that would be my fault, fine.
    But here I am being told that my HD will be erased because having 2-, I cannot access 1...
    It's liek having bought a car with electornic keys that after 4 weeks don't work and you're being told that to get back your wallet that is inside... well it's not possible because they have to destroy the car !
    So now put it in any way you want, my self being in the IT area for some time, I can ensure you there's an issue with the design of this stuff.
    Any case, I don't get the goal of your answer. The thread is to make things improve and the only thing you say is it's your fault without thinking much... nothing else to do in your spear time? ;-)

  • Keyboard doesn't popup on Samsung i9000

    When I click, cursor/caret is on the test field but soft keyboard
    doesn't popup. Shall I call some function to popup the keyboard ?
    It works in simulator but not in real device.

    Hi,
    I build a very simple android application using Flex4.5. It works fine in my Samsung i9000. Here is my code:
    <s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
    xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" title="Home">
    <s:TextInput text="hello" width="200"/>
    </s:View>
    When I click the textinput in my phone, the soft keyboard can be popup. So can you attach your code here?
    Thanks,
    Xia

  • Keyboard doesn't load sometimes

    I'm using iPhone 6+, ios 8.0.2.  I have Swype and Swiftkey keyboards loaded.  I most commonly use Swiftkey (preference).  Sometimes the keyboard doesn't load at all (none of them) when trying to use message or email.  The workaround I have is I shut down the app and restart which fixes the issues.  It's annoying!  I'm not sure if it's issue with the app or the IOS but I suspect the IOS since none of the keyboards load when I encounter the issue vs. specific keyboard.  Anyone else encountering this issue?? 

    Hi tbarkermn,
    If you are having issues with your keyboards not appearing in various applications, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • IMac keyboard doesn't always work properly and Magic Mouse battery drain

    Owned my iMac for a few months now. First off, my batterys only lasted 23 days, not 3 months like stated by Apple. I've use both Duracell and Energizer and both last less than a month. Secondly, my wireless keyboard doesn't always function properly. When I'm trying to type something out, I always end up having to go back and add something that the keyboard has missed..
    For example, I just tested my Cap Locks key. I pressed it 10 times normally as you would when typing and the green LED only lit for 3 of the 10.
    But when I press hard it works everytime
    Is this a common problem or have I been sent out a defective pack?
    Thanks

    It's a long shot, but is a non-standard input selected here:
     > System Preferences > Language & Text
    Try selecting 'British' and see if the problem persists. Also, if you click on the little nationality flag in the menubar at the top of the screen and choose 'Show Keyboard Viewer', what happens when you press the '3' key? Does it light up as expected?
