IPad mini Keyboard Problem

I'm having problems with the keyboard on my iPad mini. There's a big gap right down the middle of the keypad - maybe 1/2 inch. I've turned off/on with no success. Has anyone else had this issue - and how did you resolve?

Why does the iPad mini keyboard do erroneous self-correcting keystrokes?

My iPad Mini keyboard replaces regularly two keystrokes. It changes the lower case with upper case on the two punctuation keys (the ", and !" and " and ?" Keys). I have to correct the inappropriate changes this does to text in emails and other apps as well. For example, when I introduce a comma "," in a sentence to introduce a clause or series of words, it will change the comma into an exclamation point. Similarly, when I use three dots to indicate text deleted or ignored, the dots will be changed to three question marks.
This happens when typing in Apple apps and non-Apple apps. It seems a hardware issue. I never had this with my very first iPad or any of my iPhones. If no one else has reported this going on with their iPad Mini (mine was bought last December so the original model), perhaps it is a defect unique to my iPad Mini.
I have to read over everything typed. In general there is so much "Apple-determined correction" going on with the Apple keyboard. This is the most obvious and erroneous.

reset all settings
settings-general-reset-reset all settings
now reconnect to wifi
settings- wifi- click network name- enter password - join
if issue persists back up and restore as new via iTunes

If you are trying to create a catagory inside a collection, you cannot. Categories are a property (metadata) of the individual titles. You can't create them. You can create collection, but they cannot be nested.

Photostream on iPad mini keyboard blocks comments section

When commenting on a photo on Photostream or Facebook, the keyboard blocks where you are writing. This means you can't see what you are typing and also makes it difficult to fix any mistakes.
Also, there is no option on this form to submit it as an iPad Mini issue in the product drop down menu.

Don't know why it tagged your reply as helpfull.
First off it's not a task bar, it's a recently used App bar. Wether an App can run in the background, suspend itself, just hang around in memory or kills itself on exit they still show up in what you refer to as the Task Bar.
This suggestion should have been negated by the line "No, removing App icons/stubs from the resently run Apps bar does not release all memory used by [an] App".
Your second idea was covered in the line "Yes, I have [the same problem] with newly boot[ed] device".
Ok, I left out a few words, but surely if you feel qualified to provide answers you should have been able to infer entened information.
Based on the complete text why would think these basic solutions would have been missed. Neither of these suggestion are solutions, this would be like call ing your car manufacture with the problem, "I drive my car for about 15 minutes and then it stalls, after I roll to stop and wait about 2 minutes it will restart again" and thier answers is "Stop driving after 14 minutes, turn your care off, wait 10 seconds and restart your car".

Does your ipad mini keyboard block your view in notes?

Notes in iPad mini the keyboard gets in the way so I can't see what I'm typing. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks Walnutree, this fixed an annoyance I had for months and I had no clue what to do about it.
Fact of the matter remains, I say to iOS developers hoping they read this post, that this is a dorky and unnecessary bug. I think the bug is: 'locked dock keyboard setting is default at iOS8 upgrade' so now you guys don't dare to auto-fix this anymore because you can't tell which people set this deiberately and which people got an unwanted default setting. But you can change the keyboard icon because there is no sign anywhere that my keyboard is in lock mode. Details matter, people.
This leaves the other burning question mark: why on earth would anyone not want to see if the typing went ok?

IPad mini keyboard letters not showing up

I'm using my moms iPad mini although not sure which version. After browsing a popular online store for a good while the keyboard bugged out on me. When the onscreen keyboard is docked or undocked, and in merged mode. The entire top row of letters are invisible. I see the keys, (the boxes) but no letters, making it impossible to see what I'm typing. Other than hoping I clicked the right letter. The keys that are invisible are (qwertyuiopasd) the function buttons like backspace and shift are visible. The problem persists device wide. Safari, messages, email. Now I have tried hard resets, regular on off cycles. Changing text size, clearing cookies and safari data. And even changing the keyboard. Also Bluetooth is off, cookies are set to delete upon closing and all that. I'm at a loss here and dislike the split keyboard. How can I fix this?

ALos have the same problem, but have iOS 8.0.2. iPad mini 1st generation 16 GB Keyboard appears in iMessage, but does not in safari, mail, contacts (that's all I checked). Shutting down doesn't work. Any thoughts or workarounds Siri?

Ipad mini sound problem

Hello, my ipad mini that I bought a month ago was working fine when I first bought it. but now theres a problem with the sound. The thing is, at first i realised the game Sims sound was muted, although the volume is on, and then i figured the sound of messages, keyboard and mails etc was not working... i can listen to music and youtube works fine, today i realized that also at facebook app video sounds are muted. I beleive this is a operating system malfunction, what can i do to correct the problem... i am not sure but the problem may have started after the new ios update...

hi JimHdk,
I solved the problem with a reply from another tread.
from settings i choosed to use the side swithch for to lock/unlock rotation of the screen.
and when i was doing that the swith was in mute mode. so i keeps it muted and i didnt know that this was the problem. Now i set it back to sound setting mode and unmute the switch. everything works fine.
I guess apple should put another switch to control this under settings/general/side switch.
otherwise its so hard and confusing to figure that out while some apps have sound and some does not.

IPad mini having problems recharging.

Since the most recent update, I have had problems charging my iPad Mini. Several times, I have plugged it into the wall charger. The green charging icon comes on and the lightning bolt shows but when I check it several hours later, not only has it NOT charged but it has also DRAINED most of the charge it still had. Is anyone else having this type of problem?

Ipad mini google problems

For the past two days I have had an issue using google (search bar) on wifi both on the iphone and on the ipad mini (both running ios 7). If on the iphone I use the regular 3g data network I have no problems, google loads up fast and any search I do goes as well. If I use my macbook pro connected to the ethernet cable to my home network, I have no problem either. I can't just seem to be able to access google through my home wife on iphone and Ipad. tried to empty the cache, deleted cookies. If I reset the devices it works for a few minutes and then the problem is back again.
Any suggestion?

Ipad mini wifi problems

I've changed my wifi password, but my ipad mini still remember the old one. Therefore, I cannot connect to wifi, but my mac book is okay with it. I tried to reset the internet settings, but my ipad mini doesn't allow me to verify my password!

The wifi password is usually printed on the router's label.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
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.

Ipad mini battery problems

hello i have a ipad mini and recently i have been having some problems with it for around one week, i normally leave it charging through the night and when i wake up my ipad says that my battery is at 100% when i take it of the charger it says 99%. so i restart it and the ipad says that the battery is back to 100% (this happens every single morrning)
now this morrning i woke up and my battery was 100% so i took it of the charger and said it was on 99% i went to have a shower and when i came back the ipad was displaying that i had 88% so i restarted it and it said that i had 88% not 100% even though it had no use while i was in the shower.
so how can a battery drop that much in 30 mins
PLEASE HELP ME!!

You probably need to recalibrate the battery. See link below.
Try this first - 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.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.htmlhttp://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Ipad mini charger problems.

Got iPad mini from Orange and on the first charge the unit only charged to 88%. The charger has no charred marks but I could smell a sooty smell. Orange replaced the whole unit and charger. After a few charges the same thing happened again, charged the iPad to 88% the charger is dead. Anyone had the same problem or offer any advise?

This is the answer to your question I have an iPad mini which has a charger the charger broke after 3 months of use. The smaller chargers have been made to be more efficanct but in the long term don't last as long. I have one now , this is my 3rd charger. This one is starting to break I've had it for a week. To fix your charger you can twist the top of the charger until it starts to charge. If this does not work, I would recommend going to the apple store. Sometimes they give you a new charger, if it has no cut in half and is looking okay, hope this helped
