Ipad keyboard repeats typed charachters

when typing using the ipad keyboard , for example if i search using the safari search box it will repeat the typed charachters and therefore I am unable to use the typing function properly. I have tried looking in the settings for 'repeat' or something and nothing helps. I assume it is a software issue with the interface of the touch screen and the keyboard programming. Maybe it's time for Apple to update the ipad software to fix this A.S.A.P. Any ideas anyone?? thanks.

If you come back to to read this .... Closing apps
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
As far as moving apps to the next screen....
Move the wiggling app slowly to the side of the screen and just hold the icon over on the edge for a second or two - don't try to force that icon over - just hold the icon about halfway over to the next screen - and then the app should jump to the next screen.

Is there a way to record an audio capture of the iPad Keyboard keystrokes/typing?

Hi,
I was wondering how I can record the sound of typing on the virtual keyboard on my iPad?
I'd like to be able to record myself typing a message which I can then export as an audio file.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

Lots of WIFI needs a username and password to get access. I guess you're lucky and yours is set up unsecured.
Normal secured WiFi requires only a password to get access. The password is used to encrypt traffic between your device and the WiFi access point. If whatever you are using requires a username as well then it is not simply normal secured WiFi. It might be a subscription WiFi service like GOGO, ATT, etc., or a service with authentication, i.e., college campus, etc. To help you out we need to know what you are using and what connection dialog you are being presented with. You don't have exactly the same problem as the original poster. He is having a problem entering a password into the password dialog that iOS presents when one tries to connect to a normal secured WiFi network. Could you clarify exactly which WiFi service you are using.

My IPad freezes while typing emails. Touchscreen keyboard as well as Bluetooth keyboard. How do I fix this?

It may certainly matter that the account is IMAP. Try the following variation of the procedure to re-create the index:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
4. Move the “IMAP-” account folder to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all mail stored there to be lost.
5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folder, that account may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring it back online.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

Typing Chinese characters on iPad keyboard

How can I type Chinese using the iPad keyboard and how to switch between English and Chinese?

I'm referring the Keyboard dock, not the built-in keyboard on iPad.
You still need to use the Settings to select the Chinese keyboard layout. There is a separate section for hardware keyboards, where you can further choose us, french, german (depending on whether your physical keyboard is qwerty, azerty, or qwertz).
Are you having some problem after doing that? Are you familiar with how normal pinyin input works?

How do I hide the keyboard while typing an email?

On the iPad you can hide the keyboard anytime while typing. I cannot see a way to hide the keyboard when typing a mail message. I saw a post saying you close, save, go to your saved messaes and open the message again - too time consuming. There is a fix on the jailbroken site, but I dont want to jailbreak the phone. There must be a way to hide the keyboard in a mail messge. In a text message you can. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit
I CAN, but not fully for a preview, as the text box goes up completely after 80 odd characters on the iPhone.
So, now i cannot see a previous message for reference.
Apple needs to incorporate a 'hide keyboard' button

BUG - client-side iPad keyboard in MRD 8.1.5 is mis-mapped for remote VMware Player console on Windows 8.1 Pro

Client system: iPad 4 running iOS 8.1.1
Client language/locale: US English
Client app: MRD 8.1.5
Server system: 64-bit Windows 8.1 Pro
Server language/locale: US English
Problem: client-side keyboard in MRD 8.1.5 does not work properly within VMware Player 6 console only
When interacting with VMs through the VMware Player 6 console app on the remote Windows 8.1 host, the client-side iPad keyboard for MRD 8.1.5 is not properly mapped. Letter keys and the top-row number keys send function keys or non-standard key scan codes
that aren't used by traditional PC keyboards. The spacebar sends the D key, and some keys send nothing at all. Many other keys work properly, including the client-side numeric keypad, and uppercase letters sent by using the Shift key (but not the iPad up-arrow
shift key). The only way to send the proper keystrokes to VMware Player from MRD 8.1.5 is to not use the client-side iPad keyboard and instead switch to the on-screen keyboard provided by the remote Windows server.
This problem only occurs within the VMware Player console app, and only with RDP connections that use the MRD 8.1.5 client on iOS. I do not encounter the problem with other iOS RD clients such as iFreeRDP by Thinstuff or Pocket Cloud Remote Desktop by Wyse.
Steps to reproduce:
Connect to Windows 8.1 Pro system from the MRD 8.1.5 client for iOS 8.1.1
Using the client-side iPad keyboard within MRD 8.1.5, bring up the Run dialog by typing Windows-R
Launch Notepad by typing notepad.exe in the Run dialog and pressing Enter on the client-side iPad keyboard
Type some sample text in Notepad until you're confident that the client-side iPad keyboard is functioning properly
Launch VMware Player 6 and start up a VM (mine was Windows Server 2008)
Open the sign-on prompt in the VM by sending Ctrl-Alt-Ins from the client-side keyboard or by pressing the Ctrl-Alt-Del icon in VMware Player
Touch or click in the password field in the VM to ensure it has keyboard focus
Using the client-side keyboard, try to type letters or numbers in the password field, and notice that dots generally do not appear for most keypresses
Switch to the server-side on-screen keyboard and delete the contents of the password field if it is not already empty
Use the server-side on-screen keyboard to sign on to the VM
Inside the VM, open Notepad or some other text editor
Enter text into the editor from both the client-side and server-side keyboards to verify that only the server-side keyboard is functioning properly within the VM
This issue is the only problem I'm having with MRD for iOS, and I hope it is resolved soon.
Thanks,
Fred

I'm experiencing exactly the same problem. Is there a solution yet?

Bluetooth keyboard repeating keys

I am experiencing a a problem with a bluetooth keyboard. After a while (> 1-2 minutes), when I am not using it and starting typing, my keyboard repeats first (sometimes second) character about 8 times. I am having this issue only on linux, on windows everything is fine. Do you have any idea how to track this problem? Is this kernel module fault or bluez?

It looks like apple knows about this and made a firmware update for the keyboard. look here http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht4010
I will test if it works and get back to you guys
*UPDATE*
I was unable to install the update. The mac I used told that no keyboard was present even if it was paired with the mac.
Any how. I found another thread, where they explained that apple do not officially state a reset function for the keyboard. But a user might have found it.
basically, unpair the keyboard and then re-pair it. The trick is to hold down the power button throughout the entire pairing proccess (it's a two hand job)
I am testing it now and as of writing there is no problem with repeating keys. Then again I read somewhere that the apple keyboard can have issues with waking up after idling on non apple machines.
Let's see. I'll get back to you on it

While typing, the keyboard starts typing multiple letters. I'm fed up of this. I don't think I am doing something at my own, it's happening at its own. Is it because of some problem in the hardware since OS and system refresh could not resolve this.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If you have done this like I describe above and the problem continues I suggest you contact Apple Support or make an appointment at an Apple Store and have your iPad examined by a technician.

Insert symbols with iPad keyboard

Does anyone know how to insert symbols such as a happy face or a heart using the iPad screen keyboard?

Actually you can add a few with the iPad keyboard that I know of
the happy face by typing
- the colon symbol : and the close parentheses symbol )
the frowny face by typing
- the colon symbol : and the start parentheses symbol (
the winky face by typing
- the semi-colon symbol ; and the close parentheses symbol )
These are the only ones I could figure out just by using the iPad keyboard. You do have to remember to put a space before you type one of the symbols or you end up with something like this:)
With a space in place typing the same two characters you get . I hit the space bar after I typed the word "get" in the previous sentence and then typed the colon symbol and parentheses symbol with no space in between those two symbols.
Man it's much easier to just buy Emoji +

Ipad keyboard double letters

Hi,
When typing on my iPad keyboard sometimes it types double letters instead of just one letter. For example if I write Chelsea it will sometimes type Cheelseea. The problem is not unique to one letter.
I have rebooted iPad but problem persists. Can anyone recommend a fix?
Thanks.

Over a year ago and no answers. Did you ever get this fixed? I have the same problem.
