Keyboard not working right since 4.3

SInce I upgraded to 4.3 the keyboard doesn't always work correctly. When I go in to send a text or email the keyboard highlights as I type, as though it is registering, but it doesn't put any letters where the cursor is. If I hit the home button and go out and back in, it generally works. I upgraded to 4.3.1 hoping it would help and it hasn't. Is anyone else having this issue? (I looked through 15 pages and couldn't find a similar topic) Any ideas on how to fix it?

To be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work.
First thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo.
If that doesn't work I would restore from backup. If that doesn't work I would restore as new. If all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one..

IPad 2 was updated to latest iOS 7 and has been not working right since. I have tried to do a restore but still continues to go into reboot mode by itself and very erratic. Can no longer trust it. I tried to complain to Apple but have to give them 20 buck

iPad has not worked right since it updated to latest software. Tried to question Apple about it but it costs 20 bucks just to lodge a complaint. Is this normal Apple behavior or am I missing something. Also anyone else having issues with upgrade to iOS7. It was working great until that point and now goes into reboot mode often and sometimes will continuously reboot several times. I have tried to restore but that didn't clear the problem. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

It's the Quick Selection Tool in Photoshop Elements 9 and I'm trying to get the background and make it another layer so I can even out the color of the background then bring down the transparency. Not sure if that makes sense. I'm new to this.... Sometimes the area it will grab can go ...not fast.. but not slow. Sometimes it's like it's just messed up and literally takes 30 seconds to process each move. I rebooted my computer and re opened it and it helped a little. It's not clear what causes it when it messes up and when it doesn't. Just frustrating. It's probably user error because I'm so new at Photoshop. Thanks for your input. I really appreciate it.

Equim A210 - Keyboard not working right

Had major problems with laptop, so did a full rebbot with repair disc, but now laptop keyboard isn't working right.
If i type the letter O i get LO, and if i type the letter L i get OL, the letter E acts just as the enter button does, and if i press I i get KI.
I have read about the functions of The FN key etc, and have to admit that i messed around with the FN + several other combinations, and was wondering if i now have the settings incorrectly set or could it be something more sinister?
i have mcafee which has not detected any spyware or virus, and the system has been reset to factory conditions and all else works as per normal?
Any ideas anyone?

Hi
I doubt this could be a matter of wrong setting.
If you would enable something on the keyboard which should not be enabled then you would get another sign but not double letter ?:|
In my opinion its a keyboard issue Possibly something wrong with the hardware
Could you check if the same happens using different applications; Word, Wordpad, Editor, etc.
If the same keyboard behavior would persist using different software then this would be related to the hardware (keyboard issue.)

My aps are not working right since update

My aps are not working any clues

All apps? Some apps? One App?
Try this - 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 buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Keyboard not working properly since ios 8

WWhen I try to share links from other apps I get so many problem. If I try to share a link via sms the screen is sitting out of view to the right and if I try to send via email I get no keyboard at all Making it impossible to manually add an email or subject field. On many apps the keyboard rotates to landscape mode while the type area is normal despite the phone being perfectly vertical.
also videos on facebook will not play at all but youtube works perfect apart from the keyboard issues.
YOutube search arch box is always hid under the clock, battery and network status bar at the top of screen but this could be an issue for youtube to resolve. My iphone 5 is just generally slower and often freezes and crashes. I'm not expecting support on these issues in just posting to let Apple know and to vent my frustrations. In events like this apple should make the old version available for download as a normal update until these issues are resolved. It's so hard to believe that someone as big as Apple can get it so wrong.

(A) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(B) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

IPod touch 5th generation not working right since 8.3 software update.

I am having problems with my iPod 5th generation. Ever since I downloaded the new 8.3 software update when i plug it into my usb in my car my radio is reading my iPod and indexing my car radio will start playing for 23 seconds than it freezes my radio and stays at indexing and when I look at my iPod it's still playing even though the car radio is frozen at the first song it started on. I have no problems with my 4th generation one I plug it into my car and it works fine through my radio it reads that iPod and indexes it and starts playing and stays playing.

There's a couple of things you will want to look at:
1. Make sure you have the latest version of Remote
2. Check your firewall settings on your Mac (in System Preferences > Security) and set it to accept all connections.
3. Remote uses two ports through your router firewall that you may have to enable. See this article for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1741

Gmail not working right since Mavericks install, even after 10.9.1 upgrade

I use Apple mail. Comcast, which is POP, is my internet provider. In order to use IMAP capability I forward my email to my Gmail acct. All worked flawlessly until Mavericks came along. Even after the 10.9.1 upgrade
Here are my issues:
(1) draft emails are copied every minute so I get multiple drafts like this:
Hello
Hello John
Hello John, how
Hello John, how are you?
(2) If I send myself an email to test how my email is working if I delete the received email from the inbox it deletes itself from the sent box. If I delete the email from the sent box it deletes the email in the inbox.....
(3) and nothing is being saved on the Gmail server although my settings indicated "never" remove the email.
Any thoughts? It's drviing me crazy & I'm afraid I'm going to lose valuable emails....
Thanks in advance....
Jim

I decided to test Mavericks Mail with a new Gmail account today to see what the new default settings in Mail works with Gmail. It seems that all the workarounds we used prior to Mavericks are no longer needed. No root folder required. No prefix [Gmail]/ for folders.
I no longer had to use "Use this folder for Drafts, Sent, Junk, Trash". When I delete a message it actually goes to Trash not to All Mail. Yipeee!
Be sure to select All Mail folder.

Time machine does not work right since Lion install

I successfully used my 500GB Simpletech external drive with Time Machine while using Snow Leopard. Since I upgraded to Lion, my computer is constantly showing me this eject error and the backups are constantly interrupted-
This error seems to happen each interval of the Time Machine backup. Anyone have an answer for this or a work around?

Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?
If "No," 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, 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.

Tecra M5: finger print sensor is not working properly since a drink was spilt into the keyboard

My finger print sensor is not working properly since a drink was spilt into the keyboard. When booting up, it automatically "fails" 5 times in a row (without any attempts to swipe a finger), then defaults to password entry to boot the machine's hard drive.
This is not a problem and all i want to do is disable the finger print sensor, but cannot work out how to do this. I've tried uninstalling the driver, which I seemed to do without any problems, but when rebooting, the sensor still seems active, and still goes through the same process.
Everything else works fine and this is just a minor niggle, but I'd like to remove the annoyance of it beeping at me 5 times while it does its thing!
Can anyone tell me how I completely disable it?
Thank you.

Have you removed the fingerprint software? If yes check if in device manager is listed some unknown device. Please post the result.
Maybe you can try to disable this unknown device and it will not be recognized as new hardware every time when you start the notebook.

My keyboard does not work right how can i fix it

I have the iphone4 I bought from Verizon about 2 months ago and now my key board will not work right how do I fix this? I have tried to reset factory settings and all of that but it did not work! If I can not fix it my self will Verizon send me a new one ?

That's a very important component of your phone, tiffanymoyle. Let's see what we can do to get your keyboard back up and running correctly. What issues are you encountering with the keyboard? Do certain letters not register when pressed? Does it make a difference if you turn your phone to function in landscape mode?

Hi - I have the exact same model as your MacBook and had a few questions as mine is acting up. I upgraded the ram to 8gb (2x 4GB ram) and ever since then my computer has not been running as smoothly and the start up time is horrendous. Have you encountered this problem? And if so how did you fix? What would you advise me do?
I was thinking of reverting back to the original factory 4GB then rebooting the entire computer. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
