Keyboard shortcuts reappearing problem in iOS 8.3?

Hello, most of us are facing deleted keyboard shortcuts problem that they keep reappearing back after restart. I filed a bug to Apple and they said they fixed in iOS 8.3. I updated my iPhone and checked it but the problem still persists. Are you guys also facing this issue in iOS 8.3 as well?

I had my hopes up about this bug getting fixed.  I deleted all my redundant and incorrect shortcuts after updating to 8.3.  All was well for a few days, then bam.  No dice.
Apple should add a manual "force sync/refresh" button to be honest.  Sometimes manual control is a LOT better than the "it just works" bit.  In this case, "it totally does not work".

  • Keyboard shortcuts no longer work iOS 8.3. Triple tap Home button on Bluetooth keyboard no longer works either. Help!

    Since updating my iPad Third Generation ("New iPad") to iOS 8.3, Keyboard Shortcuts no longer work. Also on my Logitech EasySwitch Bluetooth Keyboard, triple tapping the home button on it no longer works to trigger Accessibility, even though that is still set up for triple tap in Settings and continues to work on the iPad itself. How can I get these functions back? Wah!

  • Deleted keyboard shortcuts reappearing

    I created a keyboard shortcut for an email group, named it "new", obviously a bad choice b/c it auto populated a huge distribution list every time I typed it. I deleted it and changed the name. It reappears almost every day and I delete it. How can I make this deletion permanent? It's quite annoying. Also, is there a better way to handle email distribution groups aside from adding every person as a contact. Thanks!

    Application corruption problems:
    Do a backup.
    Quit the application System Preferences.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

  • I have lost my keyboard shortcuts with the new ios software

    How do I get my keyboard shortcuts back after downloading ios6

    This is what I did step by step and it worked like a charm... I had an iPhone 4 when I did this a few days ago. I have documents and data ON in iCloud...
    1. write down or take screenshots of all existing shortcuts
    2. delete all shortcuts
    3. backup to iCloud (I think this clears all shortcuts you have stored in iCloud)
    4. go back to settings-->general-->keyboard... You may notice one or a few generic shortcuts pop up on their own. The one that popped up for me was OMW (on my way)
    5. re enter all of your shortcuts and phrases
    6. when done, back up again to iCloud (stores your new shortcuts)
    I restarted my phone. Shortcuts still worked. I just got a 4S and restored from the iCloud backup mentioned in step 6 and my shortcuts worked on my new phone.
    Good Luck. I hope this helps everyone.

  • ITunes 11.2.0 Album view keyboard shortcut scrolling problem

    In previous versions of iTunes 11 I could hit a letter on my keyboard to jump down the list to the first alphabetical album listed and open the contents of said album. Since the latest update this causes the window to completely overshoot the selected album and show non-expanded albums further down, causing me to have to scroll back up to see what was opened, negating the entire point of the feature.
    Anyone else have this problem, and anyone know how to fix it?

    I've got the same problem. It used to be really convenient to jump around in itunes that way, but not since I updated to 11.2. I think I might stop updating itunes after I find a fix for this. These sorts of inexplicable things keep happening.
    edit- My sister has noticed the same thing since she updated itunes on her macbook, so this problem does not seem to be exclusive to the Windows version.

  • My keyboard shortcuts are gone after installing IOS 7...

    Updated to IOS 7 yesterday and today noticed I had no keyboard shortcuts stored anymore... I looked online and apparently others have had problems with their keyboard shortcuts stopping working with IOS 6 in the past, but I didn't see anything about keyboards shortcuts having disappeared before. Apparently the shortcuts are stored/backed up in var/mobile/library/keyboard, but I can't access this directory because I haven't rooted my phone, so I have no way that I can think of to restore them.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    I have the same problem.
    It seems to be linkend to the synchronisation of Documents and data with Icloud : I found this explanation in several forums for IOS 6 a(for example http://forums.macg.co/iphone/raccourcis-clavier-hs-ios-6-a-1201194.html, in french) and it seems to be the same thing in IOS 7.
    If you inactivate the synchronisation for Documents and data to Icloud, you will recover your shortcuts, but it doesn' seem to be a stable solution.

  • Problems with keyboard shortcuts after iOS 6 update?

    Just to be clear what I am talking about, I am talking about Settings > General > Keyboard > Shortcuts.
    My keyboard shortcuts stopped working after the software update. I have deleted and recreated them and nothing.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    I have the same problem :(
    I backed up my iphone 4S - which had been ugpraded to IOS6 - and when i restored to my Iphone 5 -- my shortcut keys had stopped working!
    Turning it off - and back on again makes shortcuts work - but only for so long
    All my shortcuts have been copied over correctly.

  • After iOS 8 upgrade keyboard shortcuts gone, just reboot

    FYI,
    apparently this also happened with the ios7 upgrade. Per the related ios7 thread, after a manual reboot of the phone, the shortcuts reappeared. The reboot solved my problem as my keyboard shortcut settings reappeared after reboot.

    I lost all my keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone 5s after upgrading to iOS 8. They still showed up on my iPad Air (iOS 8) and iMac (10.9.5). There were, however, massive sync problems, sometimes they would only flow from one device to all the others, sometimes from one device to only one of the other two, sometimes not at all.
    I deleted all my shortcuts and started from scratch, deleting “~/Library/Application Support/Ubiquity”, ~/Library/Dictionaries” and “~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~TextInput” from the iMac and KeyboardDomain from my iOS devices.
    Rebooted everything a dozen times.
    Toggled Documents & Data Sync off and on a dozen times too in all kinds of combination with rebooting and deleting the aforementioned files.
    Everything always starts working and syncing fine for a very short while, but sooner or later one of my devices stops receiving new shortcuts as I re-add them.
    I reboot that device and it catches up. I enter new shortcuts, and that device doesn’t get any new shortcuts. This time, a reboot doesn’t fix anything.
    After using my devices for a while, I notice shortcuts are entirely gone from both the iPhone and iPad, but not from the iMac.
    I even upgraded my iPhone 5s to a 6, and right off the bat it had issues with keyboard shortcut sync. I also setup my iPad as new, and same thing: right off the bat, sync issues with keyboard shortcuts.

  • Keyboard Shortcuts do not sync anymore (iCloud, OSX 10.9.5 & iOS 8)

    Hey everyone,
    since I updated my iPhone 5 and iPad (3. Gen.) to iOS 8 all my keyboard shortcuts are gone and don't sync anymore between the devices.
    On my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.5) the keyboard shortcuts are still there. (Probably because Yosemite isn't out yet)
    Until I updated to iOS 8 everything worked just fine.
    I tried to figure out what the settings have to be and I found that article including a video:
    http://9to5mac.com/2014/01/04/how-to-create-and-sync-keyboard-shortcuts-between- ios-7-and-mavericks/
    iCloud is activated on every device
    Documents and Date is enabled
    Don't know why apple would have switched off that pretty need feature...
    Any idea, what I could do?
    Thanks in advance.

    I was having the same "coming & going" problem with keyboard shortcuts after updating my iPhone 5S and iPad Air to iOS 8. I tried everything in this and other threads including restoring the devices. The only thing that worked for me was upgrading to iCloud Drive on my iOS devices. After doing so, my shortcuts are back and work perfectly.
    You are one of the lucky ones!
    My keyboard shortcuts were disappearing and reappearing, daily or hourly, about 50% reliable since iOS 8 update. Then did the 8.0.2 update and enabled iCloud Drive.
    Since then, nothing. no shortcuts working at all on iPad Air. They show up in Settings.. General.. Keyboard.. Shortcuts.. but they do not work at all. Rebooted every day, three days now, no joy. Keyboard Shortcut function on my iPad Air is broken.

  • Keyboard shortcuts no longer work after upgrade to ios 6

    After upgrading to iOS 6, the keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone 4S no longer work.  Not only that I can't change them either.  If I add or delete a shortcut, it simply goes back to the way it was when I exit the settings and go back in.   My iPad 2 doesn't have this problem, only my iPhone 4S.
    I tried restarting as well as doing a reset (hold home and power button).
    Any idea how to fix this? 

    If you want to go through all the steps I took:
    1. Restart
    2. Soft reset (hold home and power until Apple logo appears)
    3. Reset keyboard dictionary
    4. Reset all settings
    5. Clear autofill
    Only after the last step did things start working.  Prior to that I couldn't make any changes I made to the keyboard shortcuts stick, though every now and then changes would take.  Sometimes trying to delete a shortcut would crash the settings app.  In all cases the shortcuts didn't work.

  • Keyboard shortcuts stopped working after upgrading to iOS 7

    Does anyone know how to make the keyboard shortcuts start working again in iOS 8? After I upgraded to I OS 8 on my iPad air, the keyboard shortcut stopped working. Is there anyone who knows how to make this work again? All the fixes online pertain to iOS 7 and earlier, and they're not applicable for iOS 8.
    Hope someone can help!
    Thanks!

  • Keyboard shortcuts cleared after updating to ios 8.0.2

    After updating my iPhone 6 from IOS8 to IOS 8.0.2, the keyboard shortcuts have been cleared out.  I've tried to reset the Keyboard Dictionary but no change.

    Many others have the same problem. They say misery loves company. Does this help?

  • IOS 7(0.3) apparently ruins keyboard shortcuts?

    After installing iOS 7 all my keyboard shortcuts are gone and worst of all I even can´t create new ones. When I try creating a new shortcut and archive it nothing happens... Anyone have similar problems or maybe a solution? And yes i´ve tried the most common solutions Thanks!

    I have the same problem.
    It seems to be linkend to the synchronisation of Documents and data with Icloud : I found this explanation in several forums for IOS 6 a(for example http://forums.macg.co/iphone/raccourcis-clavier-hs-ios-6-a-1201194.html, in french) and it seems to be the same thing in IOS 7.

  • Keyboard shortcuts do not sync between iOS devices

    I use keyboard shortcuts a lot - mainly because im lazy but also because I have fat thumbs and tend to make lots of spelling mistakes. Prior to upgrading to iOS 8.1.1 I had the same problem reported elsewhere that my shortcuts kept disappearing but after the upgrade that no longer happens (touch wood). Now however I find that if I add a new shortcut to my iPhone 4s, it doesn't get synced to my iPad mini. Both devices are running iOS 8.1.2 and both have iCloud drive enabled and signed in to the same Apple account. I've tried doing a hard reboot on both devices, signing out and back into iCloud. Not sure what else to try. Any ideas?

    I contacted AppleCare and was told the following...
    The only time iBooks will sync is when pressing the Library button to close the book and return to the iBooks library.
    Press the Home button
    Press the Home button and completely close the app (double-tap home button, swipe up on iBooks)
    I have tried everything and they are sending an escalation to their engineers for an update. Until then, no news and nothing left to report.
    I tested this same issue with Kindle and Google Books; Kindle syncs only the furthest page read, Google Books syncs the current page read (as iBooks is supposed to do), and it works reliably in both cases.
    I'm guessing this is a bug in the iBooks app as I did not have this issue with iBooks since iPad 1 in 2010.
