Ipad 3 keys are blacked out on keyboard

When I get the "sign in to icloud" message, my keyboard (on screen) keys are mostly blacked out.
There is a $ where it should be but I need to use the letter keys too.
PRessing the ABC key to choose the lettered keys makes no difference.
this is on my ipad3 which just went to the apple logo on black screen after sitting on the home screen for a short while.
If I press the home button twice to see what's open( if the ipad hasn't just reset...), I get open apps which display logos on the
bottom part of screen, but black rectangles where there should be a screen shot of the open app.
I Have done hard reset many times but the problem still reoccurs.
ipad 3 continues to go to white apple on black screen, instead of the home screen to enter passcode.
therefore, I am uable to check but I think 64 gig and ios 8.1.2 .
appreciate any advice !
thanks

The restore is incomplete. Try and sync with your laptop if you have done so before.

  • All tools are blacked out in CS3

    I have looked high and low, and cannot find anything on this subject..I have attached an image to clarify.. but basically all my tools are blacked out and I can't see what the heck they are.. Its like driving with your windshield covered in tar paper.. I'm running CS3 on a dual core Intel PC.
    And I successfully ran CS3 on this PC for the last 3 years, and then all of a sudden it started doing this..and none of the other Adobe products I run are having this problem. Photoshop, Bridge, Illustrator, etc..
    This is what I've done so far to no avail.
    I ran the Adobe script to clean up any stray dll's
    After that didn't work I went ahead and completely rebuilt my pc from scratch, reformatted the hard drive and re-installed XP and CS3
    I've cleaned out/trashed my preferences and nothing
    I've gotten all the relevant updates from Adobe for CS3
    I've even installed CS3 on another machine and opened up the same files I work on and it all works fine on other pc's..
    I've attached the image below to show what it looks like.. any help is much appreciated!!

    So I turned the hardward acceleration way down, and went with the windows classic theme and that got me thru most of yesterday..
    But this morning we're back to square one.. ARGHGHGHGHGH
    I do have a custom screen resolution..
    I have two monitors running at 1680 x 1050 pixels..  at the highest color quality - 32 bit..
    When I rebuilt this PC i donwloaded the latest video drivers so those are up to date..
    I do think we're getting close.. it has something to do with the monitors or themes I think..
    But I did run this setup for 3 years and it worked fine..
    And it did break before I updated to the latest drivers..
    What else...hmmm

  • HT5167 Why is it using 5.1.6 I can no longer enter ID's and passwords in my secure accounts-the spaces are blacked out?

    Why is it using 5.1.6 I can no longer enter ID's and passwords in my secure accounts-the spaces are blacked out? I can use Firefox.

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
    Nathan

    Have you tried Firefox Safe Mode to see if an Add-on is causing your problem?

  • Without flash, it seems that us iPad users are copping out on lots of browsing activity. When are we going to get a flash compatible plug in? Very frustrating...

    Without flash, it seems that us iPad users are copping out on lots of browsing possibilities on the Internet. When are we going to get a compatible flash plugin??

    It will never happen. Adobe announced sometime ago that they will no longer develop Flash for mobile devices, so once again, it is never going to happen for iOS devices.
    There are browsers in the App Store that allow for some Flash content. Photon, Sky Fire, Puffin, look at a couple of those,

    My 2mo old ipad air with a16gb storage suddnely blacked out, what can i do?

  • Immediately on upgrading to 8, portions of my screen "black out" as I move my mouse over them. Links in particular are blacked out (that is to say the block of screen that the link is part of) when I move my mouse over them.

    Also, scrolling functionality isn't working; when I try to scroll most of the time it is unresponsive and whether or not it responds to the scrolling the Entire page (everything below the tabs to the taskbar) has a better than even chance of blacking out. Tinkering with moving my mouse pointer or clicking in random places will get rid of these.
    I've restarted the browser in Safe Mode, Reinstalled, Restarted computer, Drivers were updated incidentally on Friday (before this started), Full virus scan on Thursday morning. When I restart Firefox in Safe Mode the problems aren't as bad by an order of magnitude, but still bad enough to be unusable.
    Firefox is essentially unusable for me at this point. Since I can't downgrade to 7, I'm very close to just washing my hands and switching to Chrome (which I dislike).

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • IPad mini screen blacked out

    I just got an iPad mini and after a few hours the ipad unexpectedly shut off. I have tried the sleep/wake and home restart but that hasn't worked and I've tried charging it and still nothing. I am unable to connect it to a computer because it won't recognize the ipad. Any other ideas before I take it to the store?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • My sound output is disabled, the F10, 11,12 keys are greyed out

    I think somehow I disabled the sound accidentally. I did restart my computer but problem still there.

    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
         Make sure that the box for "Mute" is not checked.
    2. If you see red light in the headphone port plug the headphone into and out of the port
         5 or 6 times to flip the switch inside. Sound may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.   http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • Recently my itouch will not fully open articles from the yahoo home page.  The article starts to open but as I scroll down the page there are blacked out and whited out sections.  Te "reader" option opens the full article.

    I can look at the yahoo home page and open the links to articles, but the articles do not fully open unless the reader option is available and I use it.  So far this has happened only from yahoo or some links emailed to me.  I have done a hard reset but not a restore. 

    - Double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 3G 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    - Next try going to Settings>Safari and Clear Cookies, Data and History
    - Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
