Keyboard won't come up when screen pressed where i want to type?

keyboard won't come up when screen pressed where i want to type?

Hi, Couselor. 
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
Start with closing any open applications in multitasking and restarting the device.  If unfamiliar with multitasking, I have included a screenshot on how to process an application close.  Test the results after processing these steps.
iOS: Force an app to close
If the issues persists, try the steps in this article.

  • My mail app won't come up when i click on it.

    My mail application won’t come up when i press on it. But when i click on mail the mail bar still comes up at the top of my screen. This is also preventing my macbook to shut down as well. It says the mail application has canceled shut down. What do I do?

    Try clicking GO in the menu bar/Go to folder in the pane enter  ~/Library/Preferences/com,apple.mail.plist
    Another way is to hold the OPTION key click GO in the menu bar>Library>Preferences, locate the the file com.apple.mail.plist
    Drag this file to the trash (do not empty)
    Quit Mail log out and reboot, see if that helps, if it does not you can drag the file from the trash and and replace it where it was. (it will probably give you a this file already exists, click replace)
    Post back there may another thing to check.

  • My screen keyboard won't come up to allow me to add new contacts to my phone book. What am I doing wrong?

    I have had my iPhone 5C for a month now and when I first had it I was able to add phone contacts.  Now when I try, the cursor flashes ready for the information but the onscreen keyboard won't come up to enable me to type any information. I have checked all the settings I can think of in case I have switched something off by mistake but have been unable to get any further.  I only have 109 numbers in my phone so it should be able to take more, or is there a restriction?

    Found the answer to this by reading other peoples comments about their phones.  Reset as per the instructions found and keyboard appeared.  Not sure why Apple can't give out this information themselves as I asked them and they didn't have an explanation.

    There are two arrows below the time a song is plays. One is circular (repeat) and the other has two arrows crossing each other (?). The one going circular needs to be pressed to turned it off.

  • My probably 10 year old MaycBook died. It won't start. When I press the power button, it gets power, but it only lights up and a scratching noise starts like something is spinning. A file folder with a question mark periodically flashes... Help!!!

    You don't have a Macbook if you are running OS 9 and it's 10 years old. The first Macbook is an Intel Mac that came out in 2006 running 10.4.x. You most likely have a Powerbook. Try posting in the Powerbook forum.
    A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to press end the call

    why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to end the call

    hi smalley3,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    The flickering issue maybe due to a bad LCD cable or in some cases, a faulty GPU (the GPU is integrated to the CPU, and the CPU is soldered to the motherboard).
    If there's still no image on the screen even after connecting an external display then you likely have a bad GPU.
    In this case, I recommend you contact support for service (and also to see if there's a consideration that can be done on the warranty repair).

  • Firefox Windows Won't Come Forward When Taskbar Button Is Clicked (Solution)

    I posted this issue once before, but the thread was closed, so I am opening a new thread so that I can share the solution.
    My problem was that many of my Firefox windows wouldn't come forward when I clicked their taskbar buttons. What that meant was that the content of those windows was permanently lost to me since there was no way to look at them. Reducing the number of windows by closing the ones I could access didn't seem to work.
    After complaining here in the forum, I discovered that I had a virus on my computer. I believe it was a root-kit virus, but I don't remember for sure (I don't think the type of virus will have much meaning to most people anyway). Blocking windows and programs from opening is a common behavior of viruses. In fact, many viruses will prevent your anti-virus program from opening, so there is no way for you to scrub the virus from your computer.
    All the anti-virus companies (AVG, Symantec, McAfee, etc.) now offer a service where one of their technicians will access your computer remotely and scrub any viruses from your computer. The cost is in the range of $100 to $150. I paid AVG $135 (I found out later that other companies were cheaper). The technician was in another country (the Philippines, I think). Despite that, the technician was very competent and did a good job of eliminating the virus. Once the virus was gone, all my windows opened without a problem. After this experience, I called around to the other companies and found that some of them use technicians in India and some in the Philippines.
    So if you are having the problem of programs or windows that won't open, this is the solution.

    Thanks for posting that solution!

  • Can't forward emails; contacts are in icloud and won't come up when I push cc

    I can't forward email in Outlook. I used to just forward to myself then use cc to forward to other contacts that would come up when I pushed cc. Now everything has been moved to icloud and it won't come up to cc anyone. My iphone broke so they sent me a refurbished on and since I since I backed up my old phone and installed the sim card into the new one I have had nothing but issues...this being the worst. Another issue is that since then all the songs I had on my old phone are not there anymore. The nearest Apple store is 250 miles from me. Not sure Apple and icloud is the way to go. Does anyone know what is going on with this???

    Outlook 2013 isn't supported at this time.  Outlook 2007 and 2010 are.  Microsoft has not yet decided to make 2013 compatible.
