Keyboard doesn't appear, and programs crash ...

Hi everyone,
As the title suggests, everytime i try to browse the internet using google chrome, i press on a field where text would be required, and the cursor comes up, but the keyboard doesn't come up. I use swift key keyboard app, but i've tryed reverting to standard keyboard and i get the same problem. And google Chrome is the default web browser, and my prefered browser, so i havent tried using another one. If i repetedly tap on the field where the text should be enetered, i get the keyboard to come up, it sort of come up then down then up etc ... Then when it stays up, i start typing, and i get put back on the home screen. Few other apps close down on me aswell, which is really frustrating. Could it be an app conflict ?
Who ever is willing to help, just ask me for the relevent info you may need about my phone. This has been bugging me since i first got the phone, and ive only had it about a month. Help is much appreciated, thank you in advanced.
Regards,
Kyrie Iona ([email protected])

Oh, so it would seem the problem as come back to haunt me already. I downloaded and installed firefox web browser, and the same thing happens. Both of the programs either crash when trying to enter fields of data, or the keyboard just doesn't come up. I must have some sort of setting on or something which is causing this.
I really dont want to have to return the phone and get a new one. Please help

Keyboard doesn't appear in Messages+ on HTC M8

My keyboard doesn't appear when I try to type a message in Messages+. It appears when I type in the to box. Instead of the keyboard I have a box lets you send gifts, photos, audio, etc. I've tried restarting numerous times with no effect. Has anyone else had this issue? I like the verizon messaging app and don't want to use another, if possible.

shelsuz23,
You've come to the right place for help! Being able to use the keyboard while in the message + app is definitely important.
When did this issue start? Do you have the most current software version running on the phone http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-95738/? Have you checked that the Verizon Messages+ application is updated to version 5.5.17 or later. Please go to the Google Playstore and update the Verizon Messages+ application and retest.

Keyboard doesn't appear when trying to type into Numbers cell

I'm having a strange problem trying to use the latest Numbers app on my iPad 2,.
I opened a new spreadsheet but the virtual keyboard doesn't appear when I try to enter text in a cell. I can only get the "Paste" option. When I hit that, it enters text I'd cut and pasted from a NY Times article into a Facebook post two days ago. I thought that I'd just paste it then delete that column later but when I move to the next column, the same "Paste" option appears.
I can title the spreadsheet; I just can't type into the body of the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet and cells aren't locked.
I've been using the latest version of Numbers on my desktop with no issues at all. I have no idea why this is happening. Any suggestions? Thanx.

Hi William,
Things are working the way the were intended to. A single tap on a cell brings up the Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete/Fill/Comment menu. A double tap brings up the input screen. If the cell is formatted as text you will get the text keyboard right away. If formatted as a date or number then those screens show. You are given the option to change the data type here. If you are in a form you will be ruled by the format and unable to change it there.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Realplayer plugin doesn't work (the tab to dl doesn't appear and right-clicking reveals no dl option either) after update to FF4?

I have updated firefox to 4.0.1, but the realplayer plugin doesn't work (the tab to dl doesn't appear and right-clicking reveals no dl option like it should either).
I have IE 9 too and the same videos tried in FF can be dl'd there but not with the new FF4, and i've checked the plugin against this page: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using%20the%20RealPlayer%20plugin%20with%20Firefox#os=win&browser=fx4, but it's exactly as it says it should be, but there is not dl tab appearing like normal.
I have also tried updating to the latest realplayer and there's no difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Restart your phone by holding the power and home button until the Apple logo appears. Be aware that some owners of iPhone 4 have had difficulty using WIFI after the upgrade.

TPC2006 keyboard doesn't appear

Hello
I have two questions,
1. I'm workin with TCP2006 and I'm trying to open the keyboard but it's doesn't appear. I did everything the manual said but it wasn't succesfull.... I suppose that tha keyboard is out of the panel, if so how can I see it in the panel again?

Thanks a lot

Keyboard doesn't appear on conctacts

Hi I get the following.
my keyboard does not appear when I try to create or edit contacts, but can compose and send emails.
someone with the same problem?
thanks & regards

If you have an external keyboard, the virtual one doesn't show off. Make sure your external keyboard is disconnected.
Also try to hard reset your device by simultaneously pressing the home and sleep/wake buttons until the device reboots.

Some of my apps and programs crash when opening: "....has quit unexpectedly"

Due to a system issue I had to reinstall Mavericks 10.9.5, I also reinstalled all programs and apps from a backup, but was advised NOT TO copy back my old Library folder, since that was where my previous issue was.
So now some apps and programs refuse to open, what shall I do to solve this issue, without having to copy back my previous Library folder?.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Wifi goes on and off, backlit keyboard doesn't work and no sound since Lion upgrade. I can get the wifi back by going into safe mode and re booting(someone suggested on here), but can't let computer die or turn off or have to do it again.

My Wifi connection goes off if computer dies or shuts off, I can only make it work if I go into safe mode and reboot, it was just that, but now my keyboard doesn't light up like it's supposed to in low or no light and in system preferences it's like it doesn't exist. Also, the sound doesn't work, I can't turn it up or down, it shows the sound icon grayed out and the anti symbol when I push F11 and F12, also it's like it doesn't exist in system preferences either. I have never had any problems with my MB Pro, I purchased in Feb. 2010. , but I upgraded to Lion last month, I haven't been using my laptop as much since I had an Ipad I given to me, so I think that's why I didn't notice these issues right away. What do I do? HELP!! Do I take it to Apple? I don't have the Apple care warranty, so will it be expensive for them to fix? Can I get my money back for Lion if I restore to Snow Leopard?

Take it to an Apple store or AASP. How much it will cost will depend on their determination of the problems. To bad you didn't purchase extended AppleCare. No you don't get your money back for purchasing Lion.

External Hard Drive Doesn't Appear and Makes a Beeping Sound

I have a Mobile XXS external hard drive from Freecom (approx 460 GB) that works fine on my father's G3 iBook, but when I plug it into my G4 Aluminum Powerbook (OS 10.5) it runs, but doesn't appear on the desktop. It also makes a continuous beeping sound. I want to back up all my music projects. As far as I know the USB ports work because I'm able to use my iPod. This isn't an Apple product but the Freecom website doesn't have a very active forum. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with something like this. I appreciate any help.

It sounds like a USB-only hard drive, and the Powerbook G4 is notorious for not providing enough power for many external USB drives.
The usual suggestions are:
-Try a double (Y-style) USB cable to draw power from two ports for the drive
-Add a mains power adapter to the drive, if possible
-Try using the drive through a powered USB hub
Firewire drives don't seem to suffer from this problem.

All apps and programs crashing even after restore

Hi, after my ipad completely died, all apps and programs now crash about 15-20 seconds after opening them. I have tried everything to correct this:
- uninstalling/reinstalling apps (even though this happens to the default apps as well, such as Settings and the App Store
- Cleared temp files/cookies
- Turned off Spotlight Search
- Closed down any open apps (do this all the time anyways to save batt life)
- Soft reset the device
- Completely restored the device
Nothing has worked and the closest Apple store is 3 hours away. I would prefer some other solutions other than being directed to the store if at all possible
Some other side notes:
- I have the original ipad 1
- I am on iOS 5.0.1
Thanks!!

Well here I am again after having to do this two more times, and guess what? Apps are closing out again...it only took a matter of hours for it to start happening again this time. There has got to be a better way to fix this...would a repair shop be able to figure out what the problem is? this is the only apple product i've ever owned and unfortunately, their lack of support and my experiences are not giving me the warm fuzzies...

Grey restart and program crashes after logic board replacement?

Apologies for if a thread already exists for this, I had a look around and nothing seems to quite fit the problems I'm experiencing-
I recently got the logic board replaced on a 13-inch macbook pro, osx lion, 10.7.5. I got this done because of the failure of one of the usb ports and the centre row of typing keys.
however (although the keys and usb now work), after the replacement, I have started to experience problems that weren't present before. These include:
programs spontaneously crashing, examples being safari, itunes, and photoshop
the computer spontaneously going into the grey textured screen and restarting all programs, but seemingly not initiating a full shut-down and restart
itunes has deauthorised me and claims that there are already 5 computers authorised to the account. No new computers have been authorised during the repair time and attempts to deauthorise and reauthorise fail, this was not present before the repairs.
video playback on youtube and similar sites can sporadically cut out completely, either freezing or causing the entire video 'screen' to white out or vanish
playback of other moving graphics such as gifs often is jerky or replaced with transparent or white frames
I've updated all my software to the latest versions just in case it was simply that I wasn't up to date with something, but to no avail. Is this a common error with a solution, or am I going to have to get the logic board replaced again? I'm still within my three-year warranty, but I don't appreciate the concept that I brought in my machine to be fixed, and it came back even more broken.
(safari crashed during writing this, here is the crash report in case that helps)

There's a 90-day warranty on the repair.

My midi keyboard doesn't appear on my mac

My Midi Keyboard turns on when i connect it to my Macbook but my Macbook doesn't detect the keyboard when am on Garageband, What am i suppose to do?

GarageBand only see a MIDI Device when you OSX system recognizes it.
Open the Audio MIDI Setup utility (found in the /Application/Utilities/ folder). Open the MIDI Window (in the View Menu). If you don't see your MIDI Keyboard there, then you might need to install a proper Driver. Check with the manufacturer of your MIDI keyboard.
I assume that you plugin your Keyboard to the USB port of your MacBook. That's where it gets its power, but that still doesn't mean that it can communicate via MIDI.
I explain all those setup steps and the necessary information to understand all that in my manual "GarageBand X - How it Works"
Hope that helps

Wireless keyboard doesn't pair and blinks instead

I have a wireless keyboard (about a year old) which suddenly stopped working today. When I try to pair it as a device, it shows up in the list of available keyboards, but when I enter the key, nothing happens. Instead, the keyboard blinks twice in short periods of time after switching it on. I didn't find anything about such a problem, so any pointers? And yes, I tried exchanging the batteries with some fresh ones. Buying a new one or contacting the Apple support, what's the better option here?
Cheers, Mathias

Hello,
this sound to be pretty much the same problem as to me

As far as I can see mostly Keyboards between Oct and Dec 2004 are involved. I would appreciate if Apple could have a careful look on this issue and take resp. actions as e.g. an extented repair or replacement program!

Computer very slow and programs crash....

My Dual 2.5 has been doing very wierd things lately. First off, the processors and fans work very hard to do simple things like Safari. Second, programs for example Photoshop crash when I try to open them, but work the second time. Thirdly, sometimes when I turn on my computer it stays on a black screen and the fans rev to full speed.
I have updated to 10.4.4, repaired permissions, etc. etc. but nothing seems to help. Do I need to reinstall a fresh copy of Tiger, and if so what is the easiest way to save all my programs, pictures, music, files, etc.?
Thanks guys.

Do a fresh install if your machine is having problems by the time you futz around you can be up and running again.
What you can do is this, get a external hard drive and clone your screwed up OS to it.
Then erase the internal and reinstall Tiger fresh using your same name, drive name and password, update and install apps from original sources, then simply replace folders like iTunes from the clone, contents of users folders, Safari bookmarks and email (in user Library), iPhoto folder and the like.
You can trim out the garbage you've installed over time, get a optimized OS and all the benifits.
Later when your done leaching off the clone, erase it and clone your new boot config to it for safekeeping, any trouble, boot off the clone.
I have some pretty good details and information, take the time to download and read the text files.
http://homepage.mac.com/hogfish
My Mac was refusing to allow a software intiated restart yesterday, so I simply transfered essential folders to my clone, booted off of it, updated the OS, erased my internal hard drive and reverse cloned. My OS is nicely optimized now and I got a bunch of free space.
It's zipping along nice and fast again.
