Issue with the on-screen keyboard in iPad Air running ios 7.1.2

The onscreen keyboard on my iPad Air (ios 7.1.2) disappears abruptly while typing in a text field. Each time I was typing in the Spot Light search field (or any text field for that matter) I took great care not to tap the area on my screen other than the keyboard just to be sure the keyboard doesn't disappear on its own. I've also tried the hard reset by pressing down the power and the home button simultaneously. These fixes were only temporary and the issue in question has been coming back rather intermittently. It is very annoying to keep swiping down to open the spotlight search field each time the keyboard vanishes for no apparent reason.

It is not a bug in iOS 7, as several hundred million people haven't commented on it. Reset: are you holding down both buttons until the Apple logo is displayed? If a reset doesn't fix it, try restoring the phone from the last backup. If that doesn't work, restore as a new device. If that doesn't work, take it to Apple.

Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

It's either hand right or left.
I have the same issue myself. Not sure if it's b/c my fingers are too big or if I'm really missed the letter on the keyboard.

The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings. Hope you have a backup.
Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

Z68A-G43(g3) issues with the Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 6000

Hello,
we've buils a new PC with the MSI Mainboard Z68A-G43(G3) and the PC hangs on the start with the code 92. We noticed that the issue is caused by some USB device. After many tests we found out that when the MicroSoft Wireless Keyboard 6000 v2 is connected to the computer, it stops to start.
The keyboard is connected through the Microsoft Wireless Desktop Receiver 3.1 to the USB, which is used to connect the mouse as well.
I'd like to use the kb + mouse set, how can I fix the issue.
Also, I tried to update BIOS via the Live Update, and it's not working, the BIOS download fails.
Any help is welcome.
Regards,
Michal

The BIOS is 4.10.
Also I forgot one note, the KB is working, but only when it's connected alone. When we connect to USB port another device (Flash Drive, USB Wireless, ...) the PC won't start. When the KB is removed, the PC starts without any problem.
Also another note, when the KB was connected and the Zyxel Wireless PCI adapter was connected, PC doesn't start, when KB is disconnected, PC starts.
So there seems to be some issue with the MS device.
Regards,
Michal

Has anyone had issues with the touch screen acting very weird since updating to ios7?

Since I updated my 4S to iOS 7, the touch screen has great latencies and I can press something in one part of the screen and it activates something in another. The problem is even worse if the phone is plugged into power.
Is there some way to go back to iOS 6? This makes my phone almost useless.

Apple does not support iOS downgrades.
Have you tried a reset?
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
You can also try a settings reset.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
You will not lose any data but it will reset the settings in your Settings app.

I can load my Numbers "My Templates" onto my ipad Air running ios 8 using iCloud, but when I try to do the same thing with my iphone 5s also running ios8, I get an error message and they do not load. What to do?

I am referring to the "My Templates" folder where I have designed my own specific templates. It loaded fine for iPad Air but confusingly, once it is on iCloud it does not seem to be accessible by my iPhone. So I tried the same process which entails finding the com.apple.numbers file and emailing the files; selecting them on iPhone then telling them to be opened by Numbers. Numbers will ask if you want them to be added to Templates. I said yes and after a brief attempt it returns the message that it cannot load the templates, an error occurred, but there is no reference as to what that error might be nor how to fix it.

To anyone who has viewed this post and is having similar difficulties, the answer came on a different forum: I dragged & dropped the files from Mail to iCloud Drive. Opened them on my MB Air, they were saved in Templates and are now accessible across all my devices.
Answer came from SGIll: Numbers templateshttps://discussions.apple.com/message/27505880#27505880Numbers templates

Can't install iphoto for ipad on my ipad air running ios 7

On the ipad, I start App Store, search for iPhoto, and all I get is a bunch of auxilliary photo apps but no listing for Apple iPhoto. If I use safari on the iPad and go to apple.com, I can search for and find a page for iPhoto on the iPad, but there, the link to 'download iphoto' does nothing.

Lion should include the driver you need but since its not working lets try this:
Let's uninstall with the 'scrubber option' like this:
1. Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller and click Continue
2. Highlight your device on the left pane
3. Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
4. There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
5. Click Continue and let it finish
Now, run a Software Update. This can be done by clicking the Apple in the top left of the screen then clicking Software Updates.
Next, let's reset the printing system:
Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Default tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
Finally, download and install the software from here.
Let me know how this works for you!

I am having trouble with the music library on an IPad air.

Hi I foolishly synced an air to my second computer which does not hold all my music. I have been unable to get it to sync to the main computer. the message says there is not enough room, quite right! how do I get the music that is in place off the pad?

RR,
Not to worry, you're not the first to expect Print to finish by returning you to the edit mode. The thing is that Printing is so hit and miss with this version of the app, you will probably want to stay in the Print window for more than one attempt.

Wifi and cellular dropping out on iPad air after iOS 8.02 update

Hi
I have recently updated my iPad air to 8.02 and ended up getting problems with wifi and cellular data being very sporadic at best. Took it to the Genius Bar and they replaced it thinking it was a hardware problem. Turns out it is not as it updated again and it is once again sporadic. I tend to find turning it off helps temporarily but always cuts out and needs to be put into airplane mode to reset the connection. Is anyone else having this problem....this is the 3 rd time I have tried to post this as it has cut out and the connection has been lost each time.
I did speak to a customer service advisor over the phone and she thought it may have been wifi and cellular competing but I have turned mobile data off and it is as bad as ever if not worse.

This is getting ridiculous. How long does it take to properly fix this issue. I have ipad air running IOS 8.02. I keep dropping wifi signal regularly throughout the day. I have tried everything to try and improve my connection but nothing has worked. Other products not running IOS 8.20 have a perfect sustained connection to my wifi so the firmware is definitely the issue. When are apple going to acknowledge and fix this issue that is affecting so many.
Roll on June because I'm done with Apple once and for all after many many years. No more iphone for me. Hopefully then I can receive calls without them going straight to voicemail, recieve texts quicker than an 8 hour delay and get voicemails quicker than 2 weeks later. Complete shambles and very poor customer service. Goodness only knows what those who rely on their phone/ipad for work are doing.

While using bluetooth wireless on iPad, it stalls and the on screen keyboard comes up.

I just bought my iPad 2 about two weeks ago. Before that I was playing around with my parent's iPad first generation.
For both iPads, I have the same problems while using the same wireless keyboard on both of them.
1. While typing, at random times the wireless keyboard stops responding and the on screen keyboard shows up.
2. While typing, also at random times, the wireless keyboard stops responding and the same alphabet that I last typed in would multiply itself until I either press "command + A" and delete or lock my parent's iPad and iPad 2.
3. While typing, my wireless keyboard stops responding, on screen keyboard shows up, I select my on screen keyboard to hide, continued typing on the wireless keyboard, it stops responding again and my iPad2 restarts in a split second with the black backdrop and apple logo in the middle and goes to lock screen. Then everything is fine.
4. While not typing, on screen keyboard shows up at random times while bluetooth is paired to wireless keyboard and then goes back down, all this while bluetooth icon at the top screen of the iPad2 flashes.
I don't know what is wrong. At first I thought my iPad 2 has a problem but when I remembered the same problems occurred on my parent's iPad first generation, I don't know if it is just my keyboard or the iPad(s) have a problem.
Please help me!

If this is only one specific app, it is a problem with that application's programming.
You can try to reset your iPad by holding down both the Home and Lock buttons for approximately 15 seconds or until the device restarts while ignoring the power slider.

Hi All. My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume. On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.

Hi All,
I tried to search through the community, but with the sheer volume of posts, I didn't find anything that seemed like the same issue.
My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume. On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.
I haven't tried wired ear phones, but I am sure they'll be the same way.
It's very random, but consistent enough to happen several times per day.
Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
I have restarted it and also did a Hard Reboot and it didn't help.
Thanks Again,
Scott P.

Well there you go, when you advertise it just be sure to say that you can't even see the scratches at half brightness and see how it goes.
Of course you are saying you want $500 for one with many scratches on the screen, has been dropped, but the scratches aren't visible at half brightness, and has no warranty. Or I can buy a refurbished iPad 4 WiFi 32 GB directly from Apple with no scratches and a one year warranty for $499. http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD514LL/A/refurbished-ipad-with-retina-display -wi-fi-32gb-white-4th-generation
Why would I buy yours?
I wouldn't pay more than $300 for a used model with your specs in perfect condition. But yours is far from perfect. I think your high point is $250 which is why I said 50%.

The ipad screen is white. Holding buttons didn't work so I restored it on iTunes. When I press home and on switch, the screen is white, goes black then back to white with no logo at all.

Captivate 5.5 Question: We seem to be having an issue with the screen capture piece not recording "e

Captivate 5.5 Question: We seem to be having an issue with the screen capture piece not recording "everything".
We're running 5.5 as an administrator on Windows 7 and my co-worker is trying to capture a webinar (GoToMeeting) with Captivate and it is not recording anything in the GTM window, except the last slide. Anyone have this problem or know a fix? Not much is mentioned in the Adobe forums.

Captivate simply doesn't 'hear' some screen events on certain applications and you just need to resort to doing manual captures at these points.
I usually set up my manual capture button to be F2 so that I can hit it with my left hand while my right hand is on the mouse navigating through the task.

Why my ipad have problem with the rotation screen

i have a problem with the rotation screen is locked, i try everything but nothing is happening help

If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
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 button

The co-op have withdrawn the iPad 3 from sale and it will be replaced by a new iPad. Does anyone know if there is an issue with the iPad 3 that would have led to the upgrade? Thanks Mark

Is there an issue with the latest iPad (3)? Why has it been replaced by an upgrade?

No, there's absolutely no issue. I guess the co-op just thought that now that the new iPad is available, and costs the same as the iPad 3 used to cost, it might as well offer the latest.
