Losing written text when screen rotates

Several times now I have composed an email....when I inadvertantly turned my Ipad, causing the screen to turn, all of the written text disappeared. I'd appreciate any input, thoughts, or direction.
Thank you

Are you sure that you are not hitting the undo key on the keyboard or accidentally selecting the text and deleting it? I know that sounds far fetched but I have seen crazier things happen.
If you are sure that you are not causing this to occur, reboot your iPad and see if that makes this issue disappear.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • TextBox losing its text when focus changed?

    Hi all,
    Im developing a plugin in Illustrator CS3 using VisualStudio 2005.
    I design my dialog using ADM in VS.
    The textbox losing its text when focus is changed.
    In my dialog i have a textbox,checkbox and a ok and cancel button.
    In case, if i enter the text and press tab or the checkbox (before moving the focus to ok or cancel button) the text remains uncleared.
    But if i enter the text and move the mouse to ok or cancel button the text box value gets cleared.
    Please someone guide me to solve this problem.
    Thanks in advance,

    Yeah its working when removing the setdrawproc..

  • Is there a way that to make text look like it is being written on the screen?

    I once saw a tiltle (using the font edwardian script) that looked like it was being written on the screen.
    I tried using the linear wipe transition, but this does not make the full effect i want.. for instance, when you make a letter "t" in cursive, you start at the bottom, then go up and then down and finally cross the "t". the wipe just went from left to right....
    thanks

    I have done this for several Titles, using Photoshop and a Layer Mask, that gets "erased," revealing the letters. My Titles were of "handwriting with chalk" on a blackboard, so I could keep the edge of that Layer Mask, looking more like the "chalk." Photoshop also makes it easy to output Layer Comps for each "step" in the handwriting process. IIRC, I did about 5 Frames per Layer Comp on Import, but do not recall if I used an extremely short Cross-Dissolve Transition between those - I intened to do so, but just do not remember if I liked that, or went with just the Still Images? Will try to find that animation, and maybe create a full tutorial of the process. In my case, I also added an SFX of chalk on a chalkboard.
    If you have Photoshop, it's really quite easy to pull off.
    Now, I do not know if Photoshop Elements has Layer Masks yet, which make it so very easy to accomplish. One could do it backward, where the Text Layer gets Erased, and then one would have their full Image as the last in the sequence, and then the next would have a little bit of the Text removed, then a bit more, then a bit more - going backward, until the "writing surface" is clean. One could also do this with a Transparent Background, so that one saw the Video below, and no actual "writing surface" visible.
    Good luck,

    You can't change the way Pages import .doc files.
    It was never written that it reproduce exactly the original one.

  • HT4623 Updated my iphone 5 from ios 6.1.4 to ios 7.0.6. When I opened Music, played a song and then when I rotated the screen horizontally, it just turned black.

    Like the title, It turned black when I rotated the Music screen horizontally, and it turned back to normal when I rotated it vertically. Please help me...I tried restored it again, but the problem remains.

    Good grief.... I simply turned the phone off!!!!! 
    I will try this restore and see if it works as I have checked the headphone jack for debris and couldn't see anything and have done what I could to clean it out should there be anything in there...
    Appreciate your help Ocean 20.

    Try double clicking the Home button and on the bottom row of the screen go completly to the left past the mucic control and tap on the circle arrow.  That will lock the screen rotation.  This works for the 3 and 4 G iPods. There is no rotation lock for the earlier iPods.

    Hello mdcrab1,
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    If your screen freezes sometimes when you're texting until you quit and re-launch Messages, try these troubleshooting steps first:
    Restart your device and check for updates
    Restart your device.
    Check for a carrier settings update.

  • Why does drop shadow on text only work when you rotate?

    I can't get the drop shadow to work on text while keeping it aligned horizontal. Seems to only show up it I rotate the text. Goes away when I put back horizontal. Frustrating. Just want to drop shadow text with out rotating. Can anyone advise on this? Thanks in advance.

    This was discussed here for many times.
    Drop shadow on text isn't implemented, because many browsers don't support it.
    If text has to be converted to an image (system fonts, rotating etc), shadow can be applied, because this effect will be part of the image.
    Look here:
    Appllying effects, shadow, bevel, glow to text

  • Screen images won't rotate when I rotate phone

    Screen images won't rotate when I rotate phone

    It depends on what image you are referring to. Not everything will rotate on the phone, the home screen being one of them. Check to see if Orientation lock is on, it will display a small lock and circular symbol near the battery icon. It is controlled in Control Center. Swipe upwards from the bottom of the screen and Orientation lock is the icon on the far right side of the top row. Tap to turn on or off, white is on, black is off.

    That's weird that these iphones are restored/activated through iTunes. I have a Apple so I have iTunes, yay!! I am guessing that the link that you gave me will tell how to put this iphone into Recovery mode? Now, this old iphone would of been activated on his laptop, which is with him and he is out of state. I have a new Apple, his new iphone would of been activated on our new Apple computer because he was here for Christmas and he didn't bring his laptop with him, or did he bring it with him, I don't remember now.... Now the question is, will I be able to restore his old iphone on my new computer seeing it would of activated on his laptop which is with him out of state. I am so worried that I am going to lock up this phone now. I thought I deleted the orginal guestion, and rewrote it, good grief, lol Oh wow, you are a level 10, I would be at a level -10!

  • Mf6161dw scans are too light when scanning hand written text

    mf6161dw scans are too light when scanning hand written text. I changed from b&w to greyscale, which now makes the text legible. However the text is still medium grey instead of black on my old scanner. Need help or i will have to return it.

    Hi steelcofence.
    When scanning handwritten documents, the light from the lamp may reflect on the ink.  Since scanning in greyscale did not return the image quality that you would prefer, I recommend scanning handwritten documents in [Color].

  • Texting  - Screen rotation for easier typing

    So....i have a bit of a problem texting with my iPhone...always have and im fairly sure, unless my fingers shrink, that i will always will. My question is, will a new update, perhaps 2.0 allow for a screen rotation for texting, as it does with web browsing? I think this would be a great help....
    Any clues? And if not, think its possible to provide feedback and force them to do it????
    -ph

    If Apple doesn't provide it -- why they don't boggles the mind -- I'm sure there will be an early app at the app store allowing you to go wide-screen for emails. Seems like a no-brainer to me!
