IPhone keyboard a strange color and quits in Google app and Chrome app

I'm experiencing strange behavior on my iPhone 4s (iOS version 6.1.3) in two apps: Google Search and Chrome. In these apps, when I invoke the virtual keyboard, it is an odd light violet color rather than the normal black/white/gray color. The keyboard will work in Google Search, but the first keyboard character you touch in the Chrome app makes the entire keyboard disappear. I have reset the phone and also deleted both apps and reinstalled as already purchased apps from the App Store. I have searched the web to see if I could find anyone else who might have this problem, but I've found nothing. The only things that an Apple technician at my local Apple Store suggested were to restore the phone from iCloud or a local copy in iTunes. (I'm saving this strategy as a last ditch effort, as I don't really think this will solve the problem.) This same Apple tech also suggested that I post here in the Apple Support Communities. Anyone out there have any ideas or suggestions about this problem?

I finally relented and did a full restore of my iPhone, and this has fixed the problem.

    Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons 10-20 seconds until you see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), then release.  If it won't reset you may need to put it in recovery mode and restore it as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

    Hi, Presuming it's a New MBP, take it back and get it repaired under warranty.
    If by some strange turn of fate you have an older first gen. MBP with the ATI graphics chip then may be read through and join this Topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1697470 You might also want to get on to bennettvonbennett mailing list (subject MBP ATI issues).
    If it is a MBP with the ATI X1600 GPU I can recommend "Fan Control" to help with (but not cure) the issue/defect.
    For all older MBP1,1 owners... keep talking to Apple... send feed back, join the petition, email Apple PR, if we all go quiet, nothing will happen!

  • Bootcamp overheating/freezing and quitting programs.

    I'm having a constant issue with my MacBook Pro 13" intel core 2 duo processor blah blah blah.  I have partitioned the HDD to put bootcamp on it cause, let's face it, compared to the other bad excuses of computers (pc's) I have owned and played on, this computer is superior.  Well I take that back.  I seem to be having an overheating issue.  At least I think it is.  90+c.  I've read on other sites that this is normal (WHAT??? That's extremely hot so to say that's normal is a falacy) and that I should expect this (seriously?).  Anyway all complaining aside, my problem lies with the fact that apps freeze and inevitably quit in bootcamp.  I'm not sure why this is considering the ones that do it mostly are not graphic intense nor do they use much CPU.
    I'm not even sure if this is hardware related or that the heat is really doing something to it (which in my case I would definitely believe the heat is affecting it a lot more than anything else but what do I know?  90c isn't hot at all for a machine /sarcasm).  I would blame the apps except its more than one which is too coincidental.  I don't even get any error reports or anything.  They just lag out, freeze and quit.  No ifs ands or buts.  The worst part is I update my drivers and my graphics driver BSOD's everytime I run a flash (YouTube vids are flash right?) vid.  I have Windows set in basic mode and very minimal things running (updater and obviously bootcamp but that's usually it) when I'm using these apps.  Games are what is doing it it seems.  I set graphics low to see if that fixes it.  Nope.
    I guess what I want to know is, after all this skimming through many pages and not finding any answers, could someone please help me?  If not on the crashing then at least on the drivers and heat issue.  I really mean it when I say 90c is not a safe temp even if they say it is.  With my technical experience (I'm no pro but I know a thing or two) a normal temp when running simple apps should be around 56c max.
    Thank you in advance for any helpful information you might have.  I hope to be enlightened.

  • IPhone keyboard problems

    The lowest line of keys on my iPhone keyboard won't work. It works just fine when opening apps or playing music but when you go to use the actual keyboard part it won't let me type numbers or use the space bar. How can I fix this?

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.  Try them.

  • HT201320 I cannot get email on my iPad.  I have deleted the app and added it again. What else can I do?

    I Cannot receive email on my iPad. I have deleted the app and re added it.  What else can I do?

    Which app was that? Like Jim states, the built-in Mail app cannot be deleted, but if you have installed alternate means, such as the Gmail app, those are not deletion-protected.
    If you can successfully log in via a web interface to your mail account (thereby confirming that login credentials are valid and working), have you tried setting up the equivalent mailbox in the default Mail app? I currently have 9 different mail accounts/mailboxes accessible via the Mail app on both the iPad 4 and the iPhone 5 (3 are Microsoft Office365, 5 are Google corporate and the last is my ages-old Apple account), all in perfect sync.

  • I can't sync like in past with my iPhone 5 to MacBook... color ball spins and it want's to go to App Store? Never connects

    I can't sync like in past with my iPhone 5 to MacBook... color ball spins and it want's to go to App Store? Never connects
    In past, when I connected USB cable it tarted syncing... now it shows grey IPhone so it knows it's connected, but doesn't let me select it. I keeps going to the store and never "responds" so I have to Force Quit each time.
    I tried using Bluetooth and it almost worked but then said the iPhone didn't support my MacBook. ?!?
    I figure everything is so automated (old term from an old guy) that I've missed something. I miss the Apple 2e's and c's sometimes. I've almost wanted to ask verbally my phone to do it but am holding that adventure until I hear from someone. [ I asked my iPad one time for help and it told me it was busy and ask later.  "Seri-ously:-)  ]
    Help!

    The camera on my iPhon 4s is not working correctly.  It is colored all strange and the shutter keeps opening and closing trying to fix the problem but it cant.  I have already reset my phone and turned it off and on again.  How do I fix this??

    If resetting the camera app doesn't work you can try restoring your iPhone's software. The entire process takes about an hour to an hour and a half. Make sure you do a backup. Make sure you do a backup.

    I am facing a strange problem on new iphone 5 that I bought last week. The maps app and the places in photo gallery shows the pin and my location, however there is no information of locations. Tried to close the apps, phone restart, reset etc. I am accessing it via strong wireless connection and it works fine on other devices. Please help.

    Then no information exists.  Use the Report a Problem button within the app to report it.

    Hi ladwwd56,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Is it possible that you may have an Accessibility feature called "White on Black" turned on?
    See page 244 of the iPhone User Guide PDF:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1539/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.p df
    White on Black
    Use White on Black to invert the colors on the iPhone screen, which may make it easier to read the screen. When White on Black is turned on, the screen looks like a photographic negative.
    Invert the screen’s colors: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility and tap the “White on Black” switch.
    If that is not the case, try restarting / resetting the iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:

    Hi
    I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

    Do the following:
    Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
    Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
    Calibrate the monitor
