Keyboard inside ipad won't respond

Every once in a while my virtual keyboard will not respond.  I usually click out of wherever I am and go to notepad and it works just fine.  Should I just do a reset? Any advice?

Should I just do a reset?
Sure.  Why not?

  • My iPad won't respond

    My iPad was jailbroken yesterday by a friend of mine. It got slower and slower by the minute and last night it stoped responding twice, so yesterday at 11:30 PM I decided to erase all content and settings. And now, more than 17 hours later it's still loading.
    What to do?

    Contact the jailbreaker for assistance.  Neither Apple nor anyone on the forum can help you as we do not know the characteristics of your device.

  • Ipad won't respond to forced shutdown...spinning between battery icon and apple icon and flashing home screen

    ipad wont respond to forced shutdown...spins between battery icon and apple icon and short flashes of the home screen

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Can anyone explain to me why sometimes my ipad2 locks up and won't respond to any input from the keyboard.

    My iPad 2 locks up sometimes and won't respond to any input from the keyboard. Have to reboot in order to fix the problem.

    You have 3 choices:
    1. Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
    Note: You will not lose any data.
    2. Restore from backup using iTunes
    3. Restore as new without the backup

  • My iPad died on its own and won't respond.

    My iPad is not responding at all. It's dead literally, won't budge.

    Perhaps the battery is completely drained? Plug the iPad into the charger that came with it and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Leave it alone for at least an hour. Then reset your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
    If the iPad starts up leave it plugged on until the battery reaches 100%.
    If it still won't start up Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
