Ipad 2 typing immediately disappears

A strange ipad2  problem  --- I've tried extensive searching but cannot find any posts on this problem.
Problem = typed characters in the email APP disappear immediately after being typed. A hard reset corrects this, but it usually reoccurs in 2-7 days.
- using an apple bluetooth keyboard, but once the problem of typed letters disappearing immediately (only in the email App) occurs, it continues to occur even with the virtual keyboard and the bluetooth keyboard turned off.  A hard reset corrects the problem.  when the problem occurs it does not affect other areas such as notes, typing there remains normal
- have had the ipad totally wiped out and reloaded at the genius bar, occured again 2-3 days later.  Since I wasa told that the problem could be from corrupted data which could be saved by itunes I did not restore the ipad and the problem resurfaced.
- So Apple replaced the ipad with a new one, one week later (I did restore the ipad this time) same problem.
-any ideas, could it be the keyboard? could it be a a "bad" email doing this?
thanks for any ideas

The DO swap out batteries but they likely need to send it out to do it. See:

  • After I make a note in the notes icon that came with the ipad, it immediately is emailed to my email address and disappears from notes. How can I make it stay on notes?

    After I write a note in the notes icon that came with the ipad, it immediately emails it to my email account and erases it from the note pad. How do I make it stay on the notepad? I don't particularly want it emailed to me.

    I have a test with some questions (multiple choice, FIB, matching, etc). I have just one button to submit all the answers, and after submiting the student can see his score and review the test to know where he failed. He can't answer again. However, he can change the answer multiple times before submiting.
    "if i turn on success/failure captions the student will see them while answering" - before submitting
    "if i turn them off he wont know what's the right answer" - after submitting
    My results page is the default. I didn't use any variable. When i go to the results page after reviewing the test all the entry boxes are "wrong".

  • Enter a calendar appointment and it immediately disappears!

    Hello,
    I just entered a calendar appointment into my iPad and it immediately disappears!  What is the point of typing something into an application and it is displayed briefly and then disappears????  Whose bright idea was this user interface?
    I'm done.  I thought using an iPad and iPhone and synching with my Windows calendar was supposed to make my life easier.
    I'm back to using paper and pencil.  I don't have time to deal with this type of issue.
    I look forward to getting rid of my iPad and iOS7.  iPhone is close behind.

    Problem solved. I just turned the calendar preference off on the iPad and then turned it on again and presto! It re-booted itself and began syncing. Ain't technology grand??? ps...thanks AppleCare!

  • Why do my messages immediately disappear from my verizon messages conversation on my galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition?

    I recently bought a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition and downloaded Verizon Messages. All of my conversations synced with my laptop and phone, but whenever I send a message from my tablet it immediately disappears from the conversation on all of my devices. The people on the receiving end still get the message, but I do not see it. Please help.

        Hi Nickbon!
    I'm sorry to learn of any issues viewing messages sent from your tablet using Verizon Messages. When did this issue begin? Were messages from your tablet ever appearing for you? Please share some details for me, thanks!

  • Premiere Elements 12 - The project stopped accepting new mp4 and jpeg clips onto the timeline.  There are several there but when adding new ones they appear to place properly then immediately disappear.  Any fix?

    Windows 8.1 elements 12 - I have a project underway that was operating fine as i built the video file, then stopped accepting new files, both mp4 and jpeg.  It appears to accept them when dragged onto the timeline but then they immediately disappear. Any solutions?

    That is an unusual situation that you are presenting.
    Have you updated from 12 to 12.1 via the project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so.
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8.1 presumed 64 bit?
    The usual drill
    a. What is your project preset? What are the properties of your sources media? What is the brand/model/settings of the camera recording your mp4 and jpeg.
    What are the pixel dimensions of these jpeg images and how many of them are there in the project (especially when the problems set in).
    b. What is the size/duration of your Timeline content when the program no longer accepts new files?
    c. Describe status of your computer resources. Also, where are the Scratch Disks directed and how much free hard drive space is at that location(s)?

    and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
    Let us start from the above and then decide what next.

  • Uptated to iOS 5 on my ipad2 and now all of my apps that weren't preinstalled on the iPad crash immediately after opening. I already tried restarting the ipad and that didn't work.

    Uptated to iOS 5 on my ipad2 and now all of my apps that weren't preinstalled on the iPad crash immediately after opening. I already tried restarting the ipad and that didn't work. I really don't want to have to do this with 100+ apps. Or sit through a complete restore...

    Try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

    Is there a reason why the mail badge icon on my iPad doesn't disappear when I open an email on my iPhone using my iCloud account?

    Hi everyone!
    Looking also for an app that allows me to merge email and send them out to each recipient individually. Apparently that's not possible yet. Here's what the guys at RedbitsApps told me about Group Email capabilities: 
    "The current version of the app relies on the device operating system to send the emails. For this reason, sending individual email instead of a single email to multiple recipients is not possible. Apple doesn't allow apps to send single emails to many recipients easily. We may use a custom sending software in a future version."
    Let's keep looking guys... 

  • HT1694 All of the mail on my iPad and iPhone disappeared after my outlook downloaded. How to I keep mail resident in both places?

    All of the mail on my iPad and iPhone disappeared after my outlook downloaded. How to I keep mail resident in both places?

    I managed to lose an earlier reply I'd started before you came back with your "solved" so I didn't bother to retype it.
    It went something like this:
    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into an authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup.
    The older .itl file is useful however as iTunes should see this as the "home" library for your device which will allow you to preserve the application settings. (.itl file? Mac? I assume the library has migrated from PC to Mac at some point). Any files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder or did you kill those as well? The most recent of these would be the best place to start.
    And no, the .itl file is not editable by mortals...
    Once you've restored the media from backups or recovered whatever else you useful can from the device, the scripts MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks should help get the library up to speed with the contents of the media folder.

  • Can I connect an iPad in such a manner to a Windows based PC so that all that I write on the iPad, is immediately displayed on the Windows PC and on a screen by using a data projector?

    Can I connect an iPad in such a manner to a Windows based PC so that all that I write on the iPad, is immediately displayed on the Windows PC and on a screen by using a data projector?

    In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
    iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
    She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
    Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
    I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
    She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

  • TS3212 ipad typing and opening and closing files on it own

    ipad typing and opening and closing files on it own. how is this fixed

    We tried that - it didn't work. We have phoned the nearest Apple store, where we bought the tablet. I see another 125mile excursion in our near future.
    PS- When we phoned Apple support, we struggled to explain ourselves to a call center employee who simply could not understand American English. Apple, many large companies stopped using call centers in Mumbai because of the language difficulty - you should too.

    Does it happen all the time? Sometimes restarting the ipad will resolve it. How are your notes being saved? check the account and see if they are there.

  • IPad Reply box disappears behind keyboard as I'm typing which, if a long messages, means I'm typing "blind". This started with the last IOS update. How do allow the writing screen scroll up?

    IiPad reply screen disappears behind keyboard. This happens on a long message in email and I need to type "blind" if the message is even medium long. How do I get the typed area to scroll up as it did before the latest IOS update?

    I,m having and identical problem. In fact when I went to type this my split keyboard is dead center on the page.
    When I hold down the button on the bottom right corner when I'm in split mode I get the option to Dock and Merge or just to Merge. There is no option where the keyboard stays split once it's been docked and merged.
    Help! I have small hands and it's so much easier to type in split screen.
    Thanks.
