IPad Air 8.1.1 keyboard issues in ie Facebook

I'm happy with 8.1.1 upgrade i general. My Safari don't abort using FB anymore.
however keyboardfunctionality is completely lost. It is not possible to tagg anymore. In contrary the tagging functionality simply selects the fist applyable name it finds when entering the entet key. Another annuiance is, the cursor often jumps before anything allready written.
anyone found a solution? Are Apple specialists aware?
greetings
//finn
btw: problems count for iPad2 and iPhone too.

I am experiencing the same problem. I do not like the Facebook app for a number of reasons, but will use it for certain things like messaging on occasion. I would never want to use it exclusively. I guess I will be dumping Safari, unless there is a fix. My issues began with the updates as well...although there was a constant crashing issue with Facebook and Safari from the beginning.

Have iPad Air and Apple Wireless Keyboard. Can I access emoji from the wireless keyboard?

RE: iPad Air and Apple Wireless Keyboard
HI, I have an iPad Air paired with an Apple Wireless Keyboard. Can I access emoji from the wireless keyboard?
Thanks for any help on this subject!

Eureka! I kept searching and found the solution. So, if anyone wants to know here is the solution: press fn and the up arrow on F Keys (top) row (it's the one all way to the right. The iPad keyboard will then pop up on the iPad and from there you can access the emoji keyboard.

2 Problems with the Ipad Air...midi keyboard and usb microphone

IN SHORT:
2 Problems with the Ipad Air...what midi keyboard will connect to the lightning camera connector and what microphone as well? There seems to be issues with the ipad air not being able to power them. Has anyone got any devices to work yet?
IN DEPTH:
I have a yeti microphone that when I plug in it says its using too much power. A little samsung go mic I have plugs in find and works but isnt quite what im looking for. My midi keyboard is not reading...its probably 15yrs old (didnt expect it to work). I have ordered a usb powered keyboard but im now nervous it may not work if it requires too much power. Has anyone had any success with a particular model of keybaord? I saw a youtube video of the CME Xkey in which it was plugged into an ipad that uses the lightning jack, but was unsure if it was the air or a different model.
Any help is appreciated on this...I love my ipad air and hoping to make it my fully functional music recording device.
By the way I mostly use garageband

hey mate
Yes what I ended up doing is buying a powered usb hub. They are about 10 dollars or so on amazon.com. There are tons to choose from. I use a yeti micrphone now with no issues and a midi keyboard. You will need the lightning usb adapter too. You plug the lightning adapter into the ipad and the hub into the adapter then plug all your accessories into the powered hub. So it works well you just gotta buy an extra piece of equipment.

IPad Air WiFi ultra slow speed issues

Having very bad WiFi streaming and general web page loading with new iPad Air, far slower than iPad Gen 1 (iOS 5) and iPhone (iOS 7).
Speed test results using same speed test app all devices pointed to same Clifton NJ server.
Download speeds:
iPad Air: .26 Mbps
iPhone 5: 12 Mbps
iPad 1: 11 Mbps
Mac Pro: 33 Mbps (Ethernet Cat 6 wired) yes I know WiFi is slower, not .26 vs 33 slower
My network:
Motorola SB 6141 Cable modem
All Ethernet wires are Cat 6
D-LINK DIR-655 gigabit router, WiFi should be minimum 100 or 150 Mbps (2.4 only)
Obstructions: very open modern apartment with good physical open shot to router. Bedroom wall vs router. Router is on 45 degree angle 30 feet from devices. Keep in mind that regardless of wall interference, all tests above were done with iDevices in exact same spot from bedroom to test wall interaction.
Result: iPad Air is usually not able to stream anything continuously or in HD ever. Some vid signals are amazingly pixelated to where movie credits are unreadable. So I use my iPad 1 instead for perfect viewing. Something's very wrong.
I assume the router can't differentiate between, however, AppleCare today surmised since I have 2 WiFi devices way out performing the iPad Air, it "may" be it's newer firmware being incompatible with my router, which logically would make sense to account for diff between it and a legacy iPad and modern iPhone.
Some of you online are true network geniuses so I wanted to hear your input for me and others with new iPad Air HD high speed expectations and what configurations to make in Settings and should a new Router be considered 1) because they are faster anyway and 2) if there is an iPad firmware issue with older even still working well routers like the DIR 655.
PS: in comparing configurations between devices, I see the iPad Air under Settings > WiFi > HTTP Proxy > (off, manual or auto)
Is HTTP Proxy an important setting to get max performance. I need to search and read up on it. Setting to Auto did increase dwnld speed from .26 to 9 Mbps.
Thanks.

You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Hi. New iPad Air for Xmas. Intermittent issues with Safari closing suddenly or just suddenly opening App Store on a second tab. HELP!

Hi
There is an intermittent issue with either Safari just closing suddenly (looking at other discussions, believe this is to do with the RAM - wish this had been mentioned in at least one review of iPad Air I investigated before purchasing) however the most irritating issue is this constant 'jumping' from whatever I'm reading to the App Store which has been just automatically opened on another tab.. App Store is either showing William Hill app (never looked at or downloaded this) or on some occasions, some random game app which again, I've never looked at or downloaded... (I've checked the pages I've been reading & none of these are pop-ups or ads on these pages either...)
Any ideas?

I have this issue too. I don't think it's a problem with anyone's iPad or iPhone, it's internet advertisers who have worked out how to automatically trigger sending a person to the App Store just by loading a web page. I've seen William Hill and various games come through on the App Store with this technique.
This could mean Apple have no protection in Safari for preventing redirects to the App Store without a user specifically triggering it (like the way pop-ups used to happen before pop-up blockers were invented). Although I suspect that Apple wouldn't be that blasé about that sort of thing. More likely I think is the advertisers are binding a page event like onscroll which shouldn't allow this but was perhaps overlooked by Safari's developers. Apple need to make an update to Safari to prevent anything but ontap/onclick events from opening the App Store.
You should perhaps consider banning apps on the App Store using this advertising technique. They'd soon start behaving if they thought their app could be de-listed!!!

On iPad Air how do I post a pic to Facebook if the pic is not in camera roll?

The pic is in a collection synced w my iMac, so the pic is on the iPad Air but not in camera roll. How do I copy a pic to camera roll using only the iPad Air? Then post the pic on facebook?

How are you trying to post the picture ? On both Safari and in the Facebook app I can select photos which are in other albums in the Photos app - if using the Facebook then tapping 'Camera Roll' at the top of the photo selection window lets me select a different album

IPad Air 2 T-Mobile Cellular Issue

I started Cellular service with T-Moblie. My issue occurred when switching between cell towers. I would loose my cellular connection - "No Service".
I Tried to switch air plane mode on/off - problem persisted
I tried restoring network connections - problem persisted
I called Apple support and they directed me to repeat my first two steps.
The only way I could get my T-Mobile cell service was to do a hard reboot.
However, I would loose service again, forcing me to reboot the device.
I was instructed by Apple support to go to T-Mobile as the next step in trouble shooting.
If that was not fruitful I was to call back to restore my device.
The T-Mobile rep stated they had seen devices losing the cell signal but this was the first Apple device she had seen with this issue.
She then gave me a 1-800 number to trouble shoot with at-Mobile.
I Asked her to swap out the Apple SIM for a T-Moble specific SIM just to rule out the possibility of the SIM card being the issue.
She happily changed out the SIM card.
This resolved my issue and am no longer dropping cellular service.
Since somebody else may have a similar issue I thought I would post my experience.

Hey ravichab,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues pairing your iPad with a third-party bluetooth keyboard. The following resource may provide a solution:
Using Bluetooth headsets and keyboards with iPad - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/HT202042
Get help with pairing Bluetooth accessories
If you are unable to pair with or connect to an existing Bluetooth accessory, try the following steps:
1. Ensure that the Bluetooth accessory is in range. Most accessories have a range of approximately thirty feet.
2. If you are unable to see the accessory in Settings > Bluetooth:
- If a pairing record already exists, try to connect the accessory using that pairing record, or delete the record and pair again.
- If you have not paired with the accessory, follow the manufacturer's instructions to place it in discovery mode and then pair the accessory.
3. If you can see but are unable to pair with the accessory:
- Verify the PIN for the accessory. You may need to refer to your manufacturer's documentation for this.
- Verify that the Bluetooth accessory is using a profile that works with the iPad, such as Headset, A2DP, or HID.
4. Ensure that the firmware or software on the Bluetooth accessory is up to date.
5. Ensure that the Bluetooth accessory is charged or connected to power.
6. Turn off both the iPad and the Bluetooth accessory, then turn both devices on again.
7. If the issue persists, test Bluetooth with another accessory or consult the manufacturer's documentation.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Has anyone had trouble typing on iPad air 2? Have to press keys multiple times at start of sentence. Also delete doesn't always work.

,new iPad Air2 ....keyboard does not respond to typing, not a wifi issue. Happens at the beginning of sentences and sometimes the delete key.

Hello lynfrommeredith,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues typing on your iPad Air 2. Do these issues occur in one app? Or do you experience them system-wide?
If the issue is isolated to one app, you can try forcing the app to close and restarting your device:

Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If you are experiencing the issues system-wide, we can restore your device to factory settings to isolate the issue further:

Restore new ipad air from iPad 2 backup

I backed up my ipad 2 to iTunes by USB cable with no problem a month ago. I bought a new iPad Air and want to restore it from the old iPad backup. When I connect the new Air by USB to my iMac (late 2012), running 10.8.5, with iTunes open, no device shows up, and a window says that iTunes cannot connect to the device "Peggy's iPad" because the device timed out. The operating system and iTunes version are the same as when I made the backup from my old iPad. What happened?

If you don't have teh most current version of iTunes, you probably will not be able to sync the iPad Air.
Also, from the error message you give, it sounds to me like it's trying to sync via wifi and not via the cable, is this how your iTunes is configured for the new iPad Air? I have no issues syncing my iPad Air to a MacBook Pro running Mavericks (OS X v10.9) using the USB cable, although I did intentionally set mine up as a new device rather than as a restore of my iPad 2 backup...

Can I remove scuff marks my ipad cover made on my ipad air screen?

I just got an ipad air 2 and logitech keyboard case. I have only had it for a month and the ipad screen is scuffed/scratched. I had an ipad 2 for 5 years and the screen held up pretty well. Does anyone know if there is a way to remove the scuffs or scratches, or is there any recourse with logitech? Very disappointed

Another cleaner that Apple recommends and sells in their own stores is called Whoosh!. I use this product and can say that it's the best I have ever used. But it's only meant to clean the screen and leave a nano-thin protective coating, not to remove any physical damage that may have occurred.
Are you positive it's indeed "scuffed and scratched"? Maye it needs to be cleaned? I know that screen covers will leave residue from the cover itself on the screen after use which will build up over time. If it's truly scuffed/scratched, whatever damage happened to your screen should be taken up with Logitech.

IPad Air charging VERY slowly, sometimes "not charging" entirely.

I'm using the charger that came with the new iPad Air in a wall outlet, but it charges incredibly slowly. We're talking like 10% charge in about an hour's time. Sometimes, even with the same set up, it says "not charging" all together. I think it charges even slower when doing it through my MacBook Air. Is anyone else having this issue with their new iPad Air charging slowly?

Same issue here. At least 4 hours on the charger and only 50%. Pretty **** annoying really. I love the new Apple stuff, but every time I upgrade to a new phone, laptop or iPad I end up having to take it into the Genius bar and get it replaced. Is it too difficult to conduct more thorough testing or at least get something right.
Going to tough it out for another week before I make the long journey to the Apple store to wait in a line.
It seems the online support doesn't accept my serial number as it is 'yet to be a supported device'....well done Apple, outdoing yourselves as always

Trouble with my iPad Air

I've been trying to install a few apps to our new iPad Air. We had no issues for the first few, but now a "waiting" message shows beneath where the new app logo should be and it seems to freeze. I've also tried to link my iPad with my iMac and the Mac doesn'e pick up the iPad connection. I can't access or download from one to the other. What do I do?

To resolve the waiting problem First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

I have given my ipad air 2 for replacement. How the replacement product will be? can anyone details?

My ipad air 2 got some speaker issue. so i went to service centre. They said THEY WILL REPLACE THE PRODUCT WITH NEW ONE. How the replacement product will be? can any give details about the product?

RAM@RAID wrote:
Thanks again. Is there any possibility that they can replace as a sealed box as a original one? OR usually they will replace like this?
Did i have any rights that i can as ipad in unsealed box?
what r the conditions they replace as unsealed box?
I brought ipad just 28 days back before this problem arrives...
I got my iPad Air replaced once due to a tiny crack on the back of the device. Apple replaces it with a brand new iPad Air but it doesn't come in a retail box (like the ones they sell at the stores). The replacement is in a brown box (if I remember correctly) with no markings. There's no charger/cable in the box. It's not a refurbished device. It's brand new.

My new Ipad Air 128Gb occasionally wont wake up from sleep. A hard reset cures the problem

I have a new November 1st Ipad Air 128 Gb Wifi only Ipad Air and a kensington keyboard case. Three days after purchase it wouldn't wake up from sleep. The screen was blank and nothing would work. Ipad support suggested a hard reset which restored it. Since then in the 3 weeks I have had it I have had to do three full re-sets. My previous Ipad first generation didn't need a full reset in its three year life. I have the same apps as I had on the previous model and I have about 100 GB free. There seems to be others on the net with similar problems and someone mentioned that the latest IOS7 upgrade didn't cure the problem. What do you suggest?

I would suggest not using the keyboard with the new iPad for a week or so and see if the problem goes away. If it does, I would assume that the keyboard isn't playing nice with the new iPad for some reason.

I have a new iPad Air. I am trying to install the FREE Facebook Appbut

I have a new iPad Air, I am trying to install the FREE Facebook App, but I keep on getting a popup that says to purchase, I must verify my iTunes account. I am NOT purchasing at this time. How can I circumvent this annoying popup, which only gives me the choice of CANCEL or CONTINUE. If I cancel, it does not let me install the FB. Thank you

even to install a free app you need cc info or redeem an itunes gift card.
Peace, Clyde
