Keyboard does not appear

I can't get a keyboard. Tried Pages, Mail, Calendar. Tried to power off and on many times.
Can only find one other person who experienced this in the discussions. Any solutions?
Thanks.

Thanks, you're right. As soon as I posted the question, I thought about the blue tooth and checked, and there it was. I didn't turn it on, however. So now the mystery is why did it go on? But thanks for taking the time to tell me.

A word document was emailed to me. I can open the document without a problem. Is there a way for me to type on the document.... to fill out the form? When I click the fields, the virtual keyboard does not appear.

If you want to edit a word document then you will need an app on your iPad that supports word so that you can copy them to it via 'open in' e.g. Apple's Pages app or a third-party app such as Documents To Go or QuickOffice HD

Hello there, Brian.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps that help when an application isn't functioning as expected or quits unexpectedly.
With the "Restart" step, make sure you go through and close all applications that are running. If after performing the "Restart" step, you find the issue persists, try the reset portion of the instructions:
iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
If the issue continues unresolved after performing all the recommended steps in that article, you may want to follow these instructions:
Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Since upgrading to 5.1, my oncreen keyboard does not appear when it needs to

since i have done the upgrade, my on-screen keyboard does not appear when it needs to. I keep having to restart my system to make it happen.... Is there a special way to display the keyboard manually, or should it be automatic?

Hellow keith5000 ,
regarding your issue lets see what we can do to solve this issue.
- have you tried safe boot
safe boot = starting up the mac with the SHIFT- button.
- when entering safe mode you will be able to enter and quick change some settings
now next question do the unwanted aplications still load in safe mode , if so
go to the Apple icon -> System preferences -> user & groups -> login items (top right on the screen from user & groups window) now at login items u can close any unwanted aplications by deleting them or unmarking them
- unwanted aplications will now disapear when starting up your mac os x system
- next issue should be your authentication , this will be a bit more tricky , lets see
same category user & groups and u will see your admin account try seeing if u have enabled the admin account right click on your admin account to see information about it and compare it if your info is correct , next see if you have authorized your admin account to write & read.
if these still don't work , make a test account to see if this problem is user wide or system wide.

Message keyboard does not appear

Hi all,
The keyboard on my Message app does not appear. I've tried messaging different contacts, but there's nothing. Any suggestions?

Perform a reset: Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. Release both buttons and await restart.

Hello - Whenever I try downloading an app, and it asks for my id and password, my keyboard does not appear? Is it a bug....as a result I am unable to key in passwords to download my app

Hello - Whenever I try downloading apps on my iphone 4s, it asks for my password and the keyboard does not apppear....when I try downloading it after a couple of days the keyboard magically appears...do others have the same issue too?

do you get the modal/popup to enter your password? if so, what happens if you touch in the password field on the popup? (as that sould bring up the keyboard).

N9 keyboard does not appear in messaging app

Lately (PR1.3) , when I enter a conversation in the messaging app, I touch the area where I am to type and nothing happens. Other apps are not affected. So far I've rebooted my phone. Is there a better trick? Or better yet, a fix?!

lol....actually....
it happens quite a bit on the pr1.3
sometimes it just takes some time to appear. you can also just try to close the messaging application and open it a few seconds later to be sure it is shut down completely.
but it happens on both my devices on different variants on pr1.3

My keyboard does not appear when i'm going to add a contact

After i updated my iphone the keyboard doesn't show up when i'm going to add a new contact

Try a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will restart. It should work after that.

My keyboard will not appear when i am using Notes App

My on screen keyboard does not appear when I use Notes app. The + sign (to add a new note) does not function to create a new note
Does anyone have any answers
Thanks

Try closing the Notes app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Notes 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Notes app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

After Recovery with CD Satellite C660-1FE keyboard does NOT work

Hello,
A month ago I purchased a Toshiba C660-1FE. After three weeks my HD broke down. I bought a new HD from Western Digital and replaced the broken HD. As I did not make an recovery image of my HD, I had to order the Product recovery discs off the Toshiba website (3 discs, of which disc 1 and 3 were the only one's required for installation).
Now, I have the problem that my laptop keyboard does not work. I am currently using a USB keyboard and mouse to replace my keyboard and touchpad of the laptop.
The laptop keyboard works fine in BIOS. Therefore, I hope it's just a driver problem.
I have:
tried finding and installing lots of drivers on from the toshiba website, no result.
tried changing settings in the bios (usb enable/disable).
tried to fix the problem by re-installing the entire computer again several times.
The keyboard seems to work until windows loads. When the system is starting up I can press caps lock and num lock and the green lights come on. This all stops working once the windows startup symbol appears.
Perhaps a second problem in the device manager: under the display-adapter, 2 subcategories have exclamation marks: it says Mobile Intel(R) 4 series express chipset family twice! I can't seems to fix these with any drivers I can find either. When I check the settings I have this message (google translate since it was in dutch):
+The digital signature for the drivers for this device is required, can not be verified. Possible after a recent hardware or software change a file that is installed incorrectly signed or damaged, or is malicious software installed from an unknown source. (Code 52)+
+You need to restart the computer to this device changes to take effect.+ (obviously I tried that too)
Can someone please give me some help? I am at the end of my wits.
Sincerely,
Daniel

Hi MisterX,
thank you for your response. I have tried these things and there is no such thing as PS2/keyboard in device manager. It's as if the Hardware is not even recognizable in windows. I am starting to doubt whether I got the right Backup CD.
I wrote the following e-mail to [email protected]:
+Dear Toshiba,+
+after receiving the recovery CD's for my toshiba c660-1FE, it turns out that the drivers for the keyboard and touchpad are not installed. I have tried many things to get around this but it seems to me that I have received the wrong product recovery CD's. The chipset drivers are not the right ones, the overall layout of this version of windows 7 is different from before and when looking for answers in the toshiba forum I have concluded that the recovery CD's could be the wrong ones.+
+My laptop: Satellite C660-1FE+
+serial: 5B378048K+
+Part-nr: PSC0LE 02M0TU26DU+
+Recovery CD's I received are CD's 1-3 with serial R14254DU+
+Would you be so kind to check whether these CD's should be 100% compatible with my laptop?+
+This would be greatly appreciated,+
+Daniel+
MisterX, do you know any other emails I can forward this too? Or anyone who could perhaps tell me if I got the right CD's? They are taking their time to respong to this...
Kind regards,
Daniel
