I have to switch bluetooth on and off to use bluetooth keyboard??

I'm using an iPad 3G 64GB with my Apple bluetooth keyboard. Everything works great, but one thing annoys me. If I'm using the bluetooth keyboard and then walk away from my desk and lay in bed with my ipad, I cant bring up the software keyboard without turning bluetooth "off." But, if I take my ipad to work (without my keyboard), then bluetooth can be "on," and the software keyboard works fine (because I'm out of range of the Apple keyboard).
I want to be able to leave bluetooth "on" all the time.
Is there any way to force up the software keyboard without switching bluetooth "off" or physically bringing it up using the bluetooth keyboard?

I have the same issue. I know you can turn bluetooth off in "settings" or turn off the apple wireless keyboard when it's near the iPad and it will disconnect.
However, I'm using this for business and I have the autolock turned on. If I'm using the iPad with the wireless keyboard, and I pack up for the day to go, without turning the settings off or the wireless keyboard off, the next time I pull up the iPad, the autolock screen comes up with no place to type (software keyboard). If I don't have the wireless keyboard handy, there is no other way to turn off the bluetooth, or bring up the software keyboard.
There really should be someway to address this. Perhaps when the autolock shows up expecting the wireless keyboard, you could double tap the screen and the software keyboard would appear and/or ask you if you want to turn off the bluetooth connection for the keyboard.

when you have the same issue after the SMC reset:
put new batteries in the MM (even if the others are not empty), turn Bluetooth off then on again on the MBA, take all USB connections out (if any), delete the pairing of the MM and re pair the MM.

You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone. That's relatively easy. Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one. For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.

Try:

Or:
Settings>>Privacity, be sure the Location Service is turn on;
Or:
In Settings>>General>>Reset, select "Reset all Adjusts". (Sorry, but it will change some personal adjustments, but will not delete anything at all)

How to switch trends on and off in a graph

Hi,
Quite new to this so bear with me. I've numerous temperature sensors I'd like to be able to display on a graphical display. To display all of them on one graph would be a bit of a headache for the user and I don't want numerous graphical displays. I'm after the best way to code this up so I can select the required channels by using individual boolean switches for each channel.
I'm thinking that a switch next to each channel name would be a neat solution to switch channels on and off on the graph.
Thank you
Carl

I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

Next step is to Restore it in iTunes from your backup. If that does not work they try Restoring it as a new phone. If still no go it is a hardware failure and you will need to get it serviced.
And you are not showing the hardware lock icon on the top right of the home screen?

My ipad has suddenly decided not to connect to the internet. My WiFi signal is strong. My PC is connected ok through the same WiFi signal. I have tried pressing the home and off buttons to get the apple logo but this makes no difference

My ipad2 has suddenly decided not to connect to the internet either through Safari or email. My WiFi signal is strong and all other devices in my house are connecting ok. I have tried pressing the home and off buttons together to get the Apple Logo but this has not changed anything, still cannot connect. "Safari cannot open the page because your ipad is not connected to the internet"

I have done this and no difference
I have just realised what has caused the problem.
Yesterday I fitted an additional Homeplug with built in wireless N adapter ( I alreday have another type fitted from my main router position) The wireless system to my ipad is obviously "confused" . Having now removed the second homeplug and reset my ipad all is now ok

It sounds unlikely of course. But from your question it's hard to tell what might have filled your HDD. Are you constantly on file sharing or has filled the drive with movies?
Best way to tell is to start checking what folders occupy space. "Get Info" for the HDD and its subfolders is a way to start checking where the data in question resides.
And as BGreg say, call Apple support is also a good way to begin with.

My iphone 5 keeps switching itself on and off and screen different colours?

My iphone 5 keeps switching itself on and off randomly, the screen has also gone a green and red colour prior to it turning itself off and sometimes will not come back on unless re-set? help?!

If you already tried a restore to factory settings, it looks like a hardware issue to me.
I would take it to an Apple Store for replacement.

I got Iphone 3 gs and updated ios 5.01 when charging my phone it keeps switching itself on and off

I got Iphone 3 gs and updated ios 5.01 when charging my phone it keeps switching itself on and off.

Same problem. Phone was unusable. I managed to turn airplane mode on during one of the phone's "on" moments. It went off once more but then came back on and stayed on long enough to back up and restore via iTunes. As I don't rely on the phone to retain photos, contacts or mail etc I chose to do a complete restore and treat it as a new phone. I did this just to make it as clean a restore as possible but you may be able to restore from your backup and get the same fix? All is good still some 24 hours later. Hope this helps.

My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera.

My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera. I plan on replacing this phone with an iphone 5s when it comes out but I need this phone to work until then.

When you did the restore, did you restore from a backup or restore as new? The final step of user troubleshooting is to restore as a new device, not from a backup. If you restore as a new device and the camera still does not function, it is probably a hardware issue. Make an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar and have the device checked by a Genius.

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I'm on an Imac with Maverick OS 10.9. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.

HT204406 I have subscribed to iTunes Match. It is turned on on my mac but on my iPad and iphone it says that I have not subscribed. I have tried turning everything on and off, backed up iCloud. Still no joy, any tips please? Thank you

I have downloaded iTunes Match to my mac. However when I try to access on my iPad and iphone, it says that I have not subscribed. I have the cloud on my mac showing all the songs there. I have tried turning everything on and off and also backed up again. Any suggestions please?

Home sharing is separate from iTunes Match. Sounds like you were playing music using home sharing, which turned off when you turned off your computer.
Open iTunes on your computer and go to the Store menu. Confirm that there is a setting called Turn Off iTunes Match. That will confirm that iTunes Match is enabled on your computer. Then check to see what Apple ID you subscribed to iTunes Match with. It will be the ID in Store>View Account (in parentheses).
On your iPad, confirm that you are signed in with this same ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store (at the top). If so, you should see an iTunes Match setting listed with an on/off slider. Slide it on to enable iTunes Match on your iPad.
