I can't get my keyboard to come up when adding or editing contacts on my iPhone 4S

This is driving me nuts! I can't add or edit any contacts. My keyboard does not come up no matter what I try, so I can't type in names or numbers, nothing. Any ideas?? Hopefully my phone isn't toast :(

Hi there samitchell330,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • When adding or deleting contacts on my iphone, contacts get added or deleted on another iphone as well?!

    So I have an iPhone 4S and my mom has an Iphone 4. Recently we discovered that whenever we add or delete contacts from her or my phone, they get added or deleted in both our iPhones. So for example: When I add a friend to my contacts, it gets added to her contact list as well. When I delete one of my contacts, it gets deleted from her contact list as well! I think it has something to do with having synced her iphone once on my laptop using my itunes but her phone doesn't have my apps, photos, or music so I don't get how this is happening. Does anyone know how to stop this?

    You are logged into icloud on the same account.
    Go to settings>icloud  and either "delete account" (which signs you out of that account on that device) or just turn contacts off
    I would recommend one of you create your own account specifically for use with icloud.
    Again you can access your icloud settings by going to settings>icloud

  • How can I get my keyboard lights to come on?

    How can I get my keyboard lights to come on? When I press the button to turn them up higher, I get a sign meaning I cannot do that. Any help?

    MegoStello,
    There are a few situations when you won't see the keyboard light up as much as you might. If you're in a bright place or outside, the keyboard backlight won't come on. If you're on battery, your MBP may reduce power consumption by cutting off your backlit keyboard.
    On the other hand, you'll nearly always see the backlit keyboard if you're plugged in. In short, your MBP tries to manage your power usage according to your needs.
    MegoStello, if you found this info moderately useful, let me know in this thread. That's how I know if my info is what you need!

  • Where can I get a keyboard and mouse for a Mac SE?

    I have a 1988 Mac SE but am missing the keyboard and mouse.   Where can I get a keyboard and mouse?

    Welcome!
    "Where to get" inquiries are more easily answered if we know your approximate geographic location. No sense on our sending you to a vendor who does not ship to your location.
    That said, one resource that often works for getting older hardware---regardless of where you live---are Mac User Groups ("MUGs"). This locating page can help you find if there is one near you:

    I cannot get the keyboard to come up on the ipad mini when in the citrix receiver.  Has anyone ran into this and do you know how to fix it?

    I am not familiar with Citrix Reciever but is it possible it is open or being used in another open app?
    Try quitting all apps then try again.
    Quit all apps: Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up for each open app

  • After creating a table, how do I type outside of it?   I can't get a cursor to come up.

    After creating a table, how do I type outside of it?   I can't get a cursor to come up.

    Barker,
    If by "outside" you mean "on the right or left of" a table, you must make the Table a Floating Object to do that.
    If you must use Inline Tables, you can do this:
    Add a Floating Text Box with the text that needs to be "outside" the table. Arrange, then Group the Text Box with the Floating Table, and then set the Group to Inline.

    There should be a little switch on the top left side of your phone. It's the silent mode. If it's switched on, you will see an orange bar there. Switch it off, and you'll get your sound back.

  • HT204053 My daughter has a phone on my account how can I get her messages to come to my iPad with a different number but all under my name.

    My daughter has a iPhone five under my account how can I get her messages to come to my iPad? Under my number?

    This can happen when you both share the same Apple ID for iMessage.  You can continue to share the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores, but you should use separate IDs for iMessage and FaceTime.
    To fix this, on one of the phones, to go Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.  Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • I reset the ipad2 to try to get the keyboard to come up for the notebook app, but the   button still does'nt work???

    I reset the ipad2 to try to get the keyboard to come up in notebook app , but the + button does'nt work to make it appear??

    How did you reset it? Did you reset it using the option that's in the settings app for did you restore it using iTunes? If you reset it using the setting app then navigating to reset, I suggest doing a restore using iTunes do install a clean version of the firmware. Check to see if that works. Happy holidays!
