IPad 2 keyboard stops working

I've noticed lately that my iPad 2 keyboard stops working from time to time.  For instance I was on Facebook the other day and instead of the keyboard coming up when I wanted to make comment there was a black bar at the bottom that would only allow me to jump from line to line on various post...but couldn't get the keyboard up to type.  It also happened to me on another website.  It only happens in Safari.  If I shut the iPad off and then back on it clears up the problem.  At first I thought it was just some new FB bull sheet .
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

update:  I did do a restore, but a restore from backup on my iPad2 for this problem.  I still encounter it once in awhile even after the restore.  If I turn it off with the slider switch and then back on the keyboard works again. 
Wondering if some App I downloaded is causing this problem.  Come to think of it...began happening after my Bing App download...but not really sure that it is the culprit.
My options now are to restore to like new setting and then load everything up again to see if that fixes it.
I may venture a quick call to Apple support...but I think they'll say to do the same thing.

  • Apple wired keyboard stops working after iTunes sync

    I have an imac running snow leopard.  When I sync old ipad, iphone 3gs or iphone 4, the wired keyboard stops working.  The only solution seems to be to turn the IMac off and turn on again.  Have tried resetting permissions with no success. Any ideas?

  • Wireless keyboard stopped working on my iMac

    My wireless keyboard stopped working on my iMac. It shows that it is connected, but it won't respond.   It's not the batteries, and I tested keyboard on my iPad and it works fine on the iPad, so it is not the keyboard itself.
    I also tried to connect a different wireless keyboard to my iMac, but the same thing happens... it shows that it is connected, but it doesn't respond.
    When I go preferences >  bluetooth, the device shows as connected.  I have tried to remove it by highlighting it and clicking the   - (minus)  , but the - (minus) is not clickable.  It is gray.
    Also grayed is the box that says 'discoverable'.  the box is checked however.
    I am at a loss!!  Any ideas

  • The escape key in my wireless keyboard stopped working

    Dear list members, suddenly, the ESC key in my wireless keyboard stopped working. As it looks normal and all other keys are working properly, might it be a configuration problem? Could you please help me? I'm working on an iMac 27 late 2012 running OSX 10.10.2. Thank you.

    Please reset the SMC, this may take 2-3 attempts and post back with the results.

  • Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6, help!

    Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6.  The little iPhone charger charges it very very slowly, but the charger gets really hot after a while.  I restored it and everything works but the charger.  It's only a few months old, should I try a new iPad wall charger block?

    Hi,
    I did this after reading the forums and it made no difference. it has actually charged from 14% to 67% but thats taken over 12 hours.
    Will monitor it and if no joy will go to a apple store
    Thanks

  • TS3048 Number pad on extended keyboard stopped working after updating to OSX 10.9.1. Testing keyboard on old system still works perfectly.

    Expanded keyboard stopped working correctly after updating my system from OSX 10.8.6 to OSX 10.9.1 and now 10.9.2. The keypad numbers do not work although the numbers along the top of the keyboard work fine. Moving the keyboard back to computer still using 10.8.6 and it works fine.

    See if zapping the PRAM works.  Check out KB Article:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM 

  • Dual screen configuration makes keyboard stop working on X

    Hi. My computer is working just fine. And my video card has two outputs (Nvidia[GeForce 9600 GT] (rev a1)). I got a second monitor, and I was trying to configure Xorg to use the two of them in a dual screen configuration.
    I tried creating the 10-monitors.conf file like described in  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … e_monitors, and here is what happens. X does use the two monitors, and I can even see my mouse pointer moving from one to the other. But then my keyboard stops working, and so do the mouse keys, only moving the mouse around works.
    I have the impression this is related to the missing InputDevices in the ServerLayout. Something in my configuration probably needs that still, if the ServerLayout gets explicitly configured. What should I do? Could this be related to HAL somehow? How do I turn off HAL without it trying to kill me?
    Thanks.

    I have been using nvidia's TwinView for a long time, currently with two different monitor sizes. There is no need to do anything with udev if you have your xorg.conf set up properly. Here's what mine looks like, though you will have to adapt it according to your hardware.

    It is best to let as much as possible be handled automatically, but getting two screens working properly requires a bit of tweaking.

  • After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly.  Is there a fix/test.

    After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly. 
    What I get is a RED exclamation and "Not Delivered".  It happens even if i resend it over and over.
    I have made sure that the 3 devices all have the same settins in iMessage.
    I have made sure to try doing it from the same network and from the cell provider network.
    I have tried rebooting all three devices.
    The only way to get it to work on my iphone and iPad is to dissable it in Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.
    Is this a "feature" of the new OS?

    Hi,
    On the iOS devices remove the Apple ID.
    Set the device in to Airplane Mode (this breaks with the server)
    Start with the iPhone to add back the Apple ID - only after you see the iPhone Number is Verified.
    The Restart the Mac Version
    Accept the pops ups that state what the iPhone  is using.
    Do same on iPad.

  • Bluetooth and Built-in keyboards stop working randomly

    While I've read several threads about the built-in keyboard on MBPs stop working I've never seen one quite like this.  We're on a late 2012 17" MBP, Core i7 with 4GB memory.  Randomly both the built-in keyboard on the machine AND the Bluetooth keyboard stop working - but not fully.  On both the arrow keys and backspace key still work but nothing else (CMD, space bar, etc).
    What's really odd is a USB keyboard works perfectly when this happens.  We plugged one in and blamo, it worked just great - but the built-in and the bluetooth ones continued to not work (just as described above).
    The user commented that this has been the case on her last 2 machines and both were built from scratch.  That leads me to think it's software rather than hardware - I went through everything that was running, shutting down everything I could - with no good results.  If you log out/back in (or reboot) that fixes the problem as well (further leading me to software)
    Thoughts anyone??
    Thanks!

  • Half of keyboard stopped working.

    Half of my Compaq V6000T laptop keyboard stopped working this morning- the right half. A USB keyboard works without issue. Will replacing the keyboard be sufficient or is there an underlying issue here?
    Many thanks!

    Follow this tutorial until you see that you remove the keyboard.  http://www.insidemylaptop.com/disassemble-compaq-presario-v6000-laptop/  Make sure to keep track of all screws and parts, and be careful not to shock your laptop with static electricity!  When the keyboard is removed check to see that the wire that plugs in is seated properly; you may want to clean it off a bit or unplug it and plug back in.

  • G72-c55dx keyboard stop working within 15 min of use

    G72-c55dx keyboard stop working within 15 min of use or at rest check setting power bios updated late;s driver ver.?

    Hi @rimesci ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you!
    I understand that when you start your notebook the keyboard works for approximately 15 minutes and then stops responding.
    You have checked the power settings, updated the bios and drivers but it still persists.
    It sounds as if you have a conflict somewhere.  The keyboard works OK and then something kicks in and keyboard stops.
    I would try a clean boot to try and locate the issue. Perform a clean startup to determine whether background programs are interfering with your game or p... (from support.microsoft.com)
    If this has not located the issue, do you feel any overheating  on the unit?
    If the issue persists, you can try a restore back to before this issue occurred.   Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
    If that did not work or is not a possibility, I would do a recovery back to factory.
    Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
    During the recovery process you will receive an opportunity to backup your personal files to prevent data loss.
    If you have not done one recently, I suggest you do one now.
    restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 7)
    If you are still having an issue, I suggest contacting HP support. They can remotely log onto your system to help with resolving issues.
