IOS 4.3 keyboard problems in zoom mode

Hi
after the update to iOS 4.3 I'm having trouble with using my keyboard in magnification mode (zoom on). Moving around the screen by 3-finger-gesture is so touchy that during typing the phone does pretty often not understand my intention. Instead of moving around on the screen it presses one of the keys under my fingers. Worked much better in iOS 4.2!
This post is more a call to the Apple developers and the accessibility evaluators than a question to all of you. I'm using the iPhone because it's the phone with the best accessiblity on the market so please don't step back...
But if there is any chance to decrease the touch sensitivity by my own please let me know
cheers, alex

I found the update to 4.3 to have greater keyboard sensitivity in general. I was hitting backspace and it kept going until all letters were gone. Also, it is pulling up foreign characters with too much ease, double typing and instead of opening an application, it thinks I am ready to edit the location of the app by putting the x in the corner of all apps.
I am not pushing on the keys any harder than in 4.2.1. An adjustment setting for individual keyboard sensitivity would be helpful. I am also noticing a little bit of a bounce in the screen, when exiting an application and the main screen comes back. If anyone else notices this or has a solution, please let me know. I noticed this right after the update to 4.3.

IOS 7, iPad 4: keyboard problems with Shift key

Since I have upgraded my iPad 4 to iOS 7 a few days ago the keyboard drives me mad: I did not experience the overall slowness of the keyboard as reported by so many others. Anyway, I reset my settings just to be safe. But the reset had absolutely no influence on my real problem which is as follows:
Whenever and wherever (each app) I type, it is just a matter of luck whether or not the keyboard will recognise me typing the Shift key in order to get capital letters - and there are many caps in German words because each noun must be in caps! In 70% of all cases iOS will just write my capital letters as lower-case ones because it just does not recognise me hitting the Shift key, especially when typing quickly. Under iOS 6 this problem did not exist. I am losing so much time fixing missing capitalisation in all my texts (I use iPad for business) and/or typing extra slow and hitting the virtual Shift key on the screen extra hard that there is absolutely no flow in typing. Everything is just slow, whacky and it drives me nuts! How can it be that the latest iPad 4 with so much CPU power cannot handle a simple thing as typing caps? I am also experiencing problem when using the wipe-up gesture to get umlauts on vowels. It is not as bad as with Shift, but also noticeable.
Is there any solution to this problem? It is a major impediment and I am even considering an iOS downgrade because it is basically killing my ability to work efficiently with my iPad. Otherwise I am kinda okay with iOS 7, but this is a real show stopper. I wonder why I found nobody else on the whole web mentioning this problem.

Thank you Habitoti for describing the necessary change to the way that we need to type on ios devices to avoid the capital letter problem.
Holding the shift key fractionally longer solves the problem. But why oh why would Apple require users to fundamentally change the way they touch type by introducing a different keyboarding protocol like this? It is most unlike Apple to have us now have to consciously think about how to touch type all over again.
Intuitive operating systems are what make Apple so great. This keyboard problem is definitely not intuitive and it is driving me crazy.
Apple, you need to change the time weighting on the shift key in iOs 7.04.
Please, pretty please!

Lock screen and other app stuck on zoomed mode

I noticed that my lock screen is stuck on zoomed mode. When I'm in my home screen it's in standard view. Also I'm having the same issue with my apps. Apps like Pinterest, Tumblr, Swarm, Twitter looks fine but other apps like Facebook and Instagram are all stuck on zoomed mode. How do i fix this?

Hello iankyliu,
It may be that the zoom accessibility feature has been enabled. The article linked below details how to go about turning it off.
iOS: Home screen icons are magnified or large
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3129
Otherwise, it may be Display Zoom that's enabled, which is explained in the iPhone User Guide.

My iphone 6 is locked in zoom mode and is unusable. how do i fix this?

My I phone 6 is locked in zoom mode and I cant get out. Display is on standard but remains in zoom mode....what should I do?

Well start with the usual of restarting your iPhone. If this doesn't solve your problem I would suggest backing up your iPhone then restoring it via iTunes.

HELP! Keyboard problems

HELP!
I have tried all sorts of things, like:
- removed syst prefs to desktop then restarted
- un-done, re-done, re-booted various options in International and Keyboard & Mouse
- run disk utility, both from startup CD AND in target disk mode
- ran permission smasher
- swapped out different keyboards and/or mice
...but these are my keyboard problem symptoms:
- numeric keypad not working
- the shift key (for caps & shift characters) not working&
- commands (i.e., "Select All") not working
...the keyboard does not work in any native Mac appl (e.g., Mail, Safari, TextEdit).
The only time my keyboard will work correctly is when I create a test new user and log-in. So it's just for me as user.
Also, oddly enough, keyboard prefs do not show up anywhere.
Anyplace where I should see something, such as
Library>preferences - there should be a file com.apple.keyboardtype.plist --- there is no file in any of the folders anywhere.
All of a sudden the keyboard stopped working, but the mouse attached to it still works. I have no clue what to do to fix it and my AppleCare has ran out.
Other things I have noticed and tried:
- running tech tool
- repairing permissions
- switching usb ports for the keyboard from the back of the display
- removing the mouse from the back of the keyboard
- unplugging everything but the keyboard and mouse
...any ideas???

Hi, DR -
The numeric keypad not working sounds like MouseKeys became enabled in the Universal Access part of System Preferences.
The Shift key and Command keys not working sounds like Sticky Keys became enabled in the Universal Access part of System Preferences.
Check the Universal Access control pane in System Preferences - if those features are checkmarked, try unchecking them.

G560 Keyboard Problem

In all my games, including browser based flash games, I've found a rather annoying keyboard problem. Whenever I hit a key, the computer believes I have hit a nunber key. If I only hit one key over and over, it cycles through numbers. So if I hit "W", the computer believes that "4" was hit. If i hit "W" again, it believes a "5" was hit, and so on and so forth. It appears that this issue was caused by a Windows Update. I did a system restore, which fixed the problem, but when I shut down, updates were installed, and when I booted up the next day, the issue has returned.
I am currently running games in compatability mode, and that seems to keep the problem at bay, but it's not a complete fix, as certain games do not function properly in compatability mode. I've called Windows, and posted on their forums, but they said to come here. Does anyone know what the permanent fix for this is? Has Lenovo released a fix?

it is actually a security program put in lenovos to prevent keyloggers from
getting your info on what you type into your computer. but to solve this problem,
go to start -> type in msconfig -> enter -> startup -> and uncheck GID
Desktop Application -> restart.
what the program does is save everything you type as consecutive numbers.
That way people looking at the keyloggers won't be able to see what you
actually type in since they show up as consecutive numbers with no
distinguishable pattern to crack the code. that is why in some games everything
shows up as numbers even tho you type a letter.

Floating keyboard problem

I have this floating keyboard problem. Is there a fix to this?
I jail broke my device and I know it's not anything I downloaded after that because none of the things I downloaded have anything to do with mail or photos. This only happens when I try to send a photo through email. Help please!

Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

Hi, nice guys
Thanks for your time to watch my proble!
I'm develop IOS App by AIR 3.7. I have seen this about load swf http://blogs.adobe.com/airodynamics/2012/11/09/packaging-and-loading-multiple-swfs-in-air- apps-on-ios/ . Everything works fine in debug mode, but when I release it , everything is gone.
I'm using AIR 3.7 in GPU renderer mode, and load SWF with some code. I have add LoaderContext.

G5 Dual 2,3 Ghz Keyboard Problem

Hi,
I recently powered up my g5 dual 2,3 Ghz (10.5.8) and when I beagan typing I discovered that many of the keys had taken on a second random function i.e. when I type "d", "d=" would appear.
I opened the keyboard viewer which shows that two keys are being pressed. I tried another (non apple) keyboard, however the problem remained. I have reset the pram and smu and restored all keyboard shortcuts to default with no luck.
I'm not sure what to try next, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, any other USB things plugged in?
Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Is there a keyboard shortcut for zooming out my parents' computer's desktop

I did not witness what happened, but apparently my brother ctrl+scrolled up(and zoomed all the way in) and my mother has been trying to figure out how to zoom it out. We have a Mighty Mouse, but it can not scroll down for some strange reason(It's broken). We somehow got it to zoom all the way out, but we have no clue how we did it. Is there a quick keyboard shortcut to zoom the screen out all the way in case it happens again(or in case I make some video that requires me to zoom in and focus on XCode and I later want to zoom out, seeing as my mother fixed her preferences to not allow it to zoom in)? If so, what is it? Is there also a keyboard shortcut to zoom in, in case we turn scrolling off altogether?

In the System Preference> Universal Access> panel, you can reverse the
results of an accidental setting found through a random keyboard command.
• Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1343
Or, just keyboard: *The use of Option-Command-8 is said to Turn On/Off Zoom*.
Using a standard USB mouse, be it an old one-button Apple USB or a newer
two-button PC mouse (no drivers should be needed) you could get past the
immediate issue of the Mighty Mouse's scroll button problem.
The Mighty Mouse probably has dust & debris inside the roller-ball assembly.
There have been some instructions (on how to open/clean & reseal it) online.
If you attempt to do this, be sure you have a working alternative mouse first.
*Cleaning Mighty Mouse* involves some skill, dexterity, tools, glue, tedium & time:

In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

Apple TV 2nd gen, the picture is oversized as if the TV is in zoom mode. The Tv picture is fine, it only happens when the apple TV is on. Any suggestions on how to work this out?

The picture on my Apple TV display is oversized as in zoom mode. Not a TV setup problem, does anybody know how to correct this? I have tried resetting several times already.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There are TV settings that can cause this, unfortunately I forget what they are, take a look in your TV manual as they may be called different things from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Additionally, check and confirm your TV supports 720p, some HDTV's don't. Finally, you are connected by HDMI I assume.
