Missing space bar

from time to time both my iPad Mini and iPhone 4S the space bar on the virtual keyboard goes missing. I've tried to power cycle and reset the phone but the problem persists.

The keyboard is contextual.
Meaning when it thinks you might need or spaces are allowed, the space bar appears.
In areas like your browsers address bar, you won't have a pace bar since URLs do not contain spaces.

  • HT1343 "Option-Space bar" is missing and I can't get rid of it, unfortunately!

    One shortcut seams to be missing in my case.
    "Option-Space bar"
    which I can't find in any settings. I just want to get rid of it. In my case, it opens a kind of Spotlight window where the usual Spotlight Window is, but it's grey instead of blue. I've a fresh installed Mountain Lion roaring.
    Any Ideas, appreciated.
    Best,
    Manuel

    That is correct, but got that mutch to do with what I'm talking about. In System Preferences -> Spotlight are two key combinations set
    1. "Command-Space bar" and
    2. "Command-Option-Space bar"
    I'm perfectly happy with these. I simply can't find the place where "Option-Space bar" shortcut is configured. This shortcut seams to be global and calls a similiar "search field" as "Command-Space bar" does, besides it's grey instead of blue. As all global shortcuts are, this one should be configured in System Preferences -> Keyboard (Keyboard Shortcuts), but it ISN'T. Is there any other place where shortcuts can be configured, or ist there a software which collects ALL Keyboard Shortcuts used, global and application specific ones?

  • Space bar on keyboard missing on iPad 2

    On both of my iPads (2&3) as well as my iphone, the keyboard is displaying but not the spacebar. it is occurring only on Safari (not Pages or other apps to type in)

    If you are typing in the URL field in Safari, you will not see the space bar. You cannot add spaces in the URL/address field and the iPad knows that when you tap in that field (place the insertion point) so the space bar does not appear on the keyboard.
    It is perfectly normal behavior.
    Tap in the search field in Safari and the space at appears.

  • I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function works

    I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function, render workspace function, export file are still operational. How can I fix it so I may complete my assignment?
    Besides DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Creative Suite 6 is the only software on the machine. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Operating System on AMD FX 6100 six-Core Processor at 3.31gHz and 32 GB RAM memory. There are two SLI-bridged GTX680 NVidia cards.
    The software was very stable for the last six months, working with 720P proxy files from 2.5K masters (Blackmagic Design Camera). I am working on a feature-length project that exceeds 1000 edits. I have broken the file into 2 one hour segments.
    I have deactivated the software before reinstalling the entire OS from scratch. PP6 was very stable for 48 hours. Then the freezing space bar returns. After a dozen strokes into the project, same problem.  I have made cache files store next to originals, I have deleted preview files if they were corrupted and causing instability. Am I missing something?
    I have Microsoft Security Essentials for virus protection. I double checked the memory for damage/defect. Nothing says that the motherboard or other components are damaged.
    I am in film competition overseas and need to have deliverables in less than a month's time.  I lost the last two weeks troubleshooting and this crisis came at an inopportune moment of the project.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Still getting software freezes but found a way to mitigate for the mean time.
    Upon launching Adobe Premiere Pro, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to launch TaskManager as well.
    You will want to highlight Adobe QT32 Server.exe
    Right click and select "End Process Tree"
    You will get considerable stability in the program, long enough to get timing of cuts done. Be sure to save often.
    If the program freezes, do not hit Save. You definitely want to avoid saving the corruption into your TimeLine
    CTRL-ALT-DEL to relaunch the TaskManager and highlight Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
    Right-click to "End Process"
    No need to reboot the whole system; just launch Premiere Pro again and continue with the session. Note that your work reverted to Last Save.
    Hope this helps until the bug is fixed.

  • Get the letter "B" after double tapping the space bar.

    How do I stop the B? It's either hit or miss. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.

    VibrantRedGT wrote:
    I wish it were that. Many times when I erase the B it comes back when hitting the space bar only once. The B is not really close to where I press the space bar either.
    Then try the usual things:
    1. Restart your phone.
    2. Reset the settings (Settings > General > Reset).
    3. Restore to factory settings.
    If after step #3 you're still having problems contact Apple support and make an appointment at your nearby Apple Store to have it checked out.
    If you have the problem with another device then I'm betting the problem is on the user-side and not the phone-side.

  • Emails get sent in Mail when pressing the space bar whilst spell checking

    Why do emails get sent in Mail when pressing the space bar whilst spell checking ?? This is beyond annoying. It's been happening for ages on my MBP. I have seen others complain and I can't understadn why this simple bug has not been fixed. Any help on this would be very much appreciated. thank you.

    Hi
    In composing I have Check Spelling "when I click send" selected. I tried on my iMac, my Mail account is sync'd via iCloud etc.. I got the same thing, when you hit send and review your spelling, I need to do that a lot, as well as insert missing words. As soon as you hit the space bar off goes the email. I have seen others complain of this on the google. I have now switched to check as I type but when i make a typo Mail just puts a red line under the word, it doesn't open up the Spell Checker dialog.
    Is there away of resetting my Mail Apps database ? MAybe something is corrupt.
    thanks.

  • Space Bar on Alum Keyboard Intermittent

    Hi All,
    I have a brand new wired aluminum keyboard which came with my iMac 24". I just started to use the keyboard with my MacPro Quad 2.5 about a week ago.
    The space bar on the keyboard does not register a space about 50% of the time when I press it. I had this exact same problem with another of the same keyboard a coupla years ago and as I recall there was some sort of update or firmware update that came out back then. I cannot find that update...can you direct me to that keyboard updater???
    Much appreciated!
    Bernard

    Aloha Xnav,
    Thanks for the link but the update installer says it cannot be installed on my computer.
    I will keep looking or just buy another keyboard I guess. Its too bad really, I LOVE this keyboard but cannot tolerate making many many corrections every time I type a paragraph or two...I actually have 2 of these keyboards and they both malfunction the same way.
    Sometimes Apple just misses the mark by a tiny bit...oh well...thanks again.
    Mahalo,
    Bernard

  • HT1146 missing task bar icon for adding attachments , and it is not in the customize task bar icons, where could it have gone?

    I am missing the icon on my taskbar in mail for sending attachments, and it is not in the customize taskbar part of my mail program. Where did it go, or how do I restore it since it is missing??
    Thx,
    Yellowchevy66

    "The top of the screen" is called the menu bar.  It changes, and is based on whichever application is currently selected.
    In Mail.app, the attach icon is the paperclip icon that shows in the default icon set of the so-called compse window; when you have requested the creation of a new mail message, or the creation of a reply.  In the compose window with the default icons, the attach button is the middle of the five leftmost buttons in the tool bar.
    It's quite possible to hide the toolbar entirely (that's controlled from the same pop-up menu as the Customize Toolbar... or can be controlled from the View > Show Toolbar or View > Hide Toolbar within the Mail.app menubar.
    To capture an image of the toolbar state (if it's not that the toolbar is hidden, or has been customized), then open Mail.app, create a new (empty) message, and to capture (just) the application display window, press the Command(⌘)-Shift-4 keys as a chord, the cursor will change to a reticule (a cross-hair), place the reticule over the mail application compose window, press the space bar (to highlight the window) and click.  This will save a screen shot of just the specified application window into a Screen Shot file (the rest of the name will be the date and time of the screen shot) on your desktop.
    Inferring from your references and the terms you are using here, it would appear you might be unfamiliar with OS X and -- if that's the case -- then there's the available Apple Mac 101 introduction that might help clarify the environment.

  • U350 - Any Keyboard flex (space bar)?

    Hi,
    My U350's space bar feels particularly flimsy compared to the other keys. It appears that my space bar area is 'buckled' upward. I can push down on the space bar (the keys flexes downward for at least 1 mm) and make it go flatter, which gives it a much better feel. THe right half of my space key sticks up visibley higher than the left half.                           
    I am wonder if my keyboard is missing a screw near the space bar. Anyone know how many screws are used to secure the keyboard? I found  2 on the bottom and 3 more underneath the battery. Any more? Or anyone kow how i can remove the keyboard?
    THanks.
    -Jeff          

    I figured it out!
    The keyboard for the U350 is held down by 3 screws and 2 tabs. 2 of the screws are on the back casing and one is underneath the battery pack (the screw that's closer to the front of the front of the machine) The tabs are the tiny silver plastic 'stops' located at the left alt key and center right of the space bar at the front edge of the keyboard. To remove the keyboard, take out the two screws, then push in the tabs inward (toward the front of the laptop) very gently, then lift up the front of the keyboard.
    My problem was that the tab at the space bar did not catch the bottom frame of the keyboard. I took a very thin edge and lightly bended the tab outward til it catches the keyboard. Now the keyboard types like a dream!
    Maybe this info will be helpful to someone in the future!

  • Space Bar hot key not working after recent Indesign update

    Hi all
    I just did the most recent update (3-31-14) and now the space bar hot key isn't working, nor is the hot key for duplication (option). So, uh, anyone else notice this, and if so, Adobe, you gonna fix this in the update? These two functions missing are messing with my work flow.
    Thanks

    Try restoring your InDesign preferences. Here's how:
    Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences
    You're assuming that it's an InDesign bug that you lost your shortcuts. That is almost always a local computer glitch. None of the rest of us have that problem, we would be flooded with reports if that is true.

  • Upgraded to snow leopard, now safari scrolls a page down when space bar is hit and sometimes crashes.  Any ideas for a fix?

    I just upgraded to the new snow leopard, now my Safari is acting loopy.  At times, the page will scroll down when I hit the space bar.  As I type this discussion the screen isn't paging down, but if I go to the tab where I have facebook loaded and hit the space bar, it acts as a page down key.  I've had safari crash about 5 times tonight for no apparent reason.  The delete key sometimes will act as a page back key.  I really have no idea whats going on. 
    I've had keyboards go wacko on me before due to something being spilled on them or a wireless problem, but this keyboard is a wired keyboard and nothing was spilled on it.  It's rather new and I'm quite certain it's not a keyboard issue. 
    No settings have been changed on the computer.  The only thing different today from yesterday, is the fact that I upgraded to snow leopard.
    Help would be pretty sweet.   
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • Why do none of the links that I put in my outgoing yahoo emails no longer underline themselves and become live when I finish typing them and hit the space bar?

    Previously, when I typed my email address in an outgoing email or cut and pasted a link from my browser bar the link would become 'live' when I hit the space bar or 'enter' key. The link would turn blue and underline itself and the person receiving the email could just click on that live link and be taken to the site. Now the link does not turn blue or underline itself and the receiver must cut and paste the link into their browser bar to use it.
    Why? I did not change anything in Yahoo or Mozilla.
    I have deleted and reinstalled Java to no effect. I am using html in Yahoo.

    As it turns out, many others have been having similar issues on other browsers. It seems that maybe Yahoo! is taking a much longer time to load or something like that. Either way, its been working on and off all week, and the same issue even showed up yesterday with IE 8 instead of FF. It still loads faster than IE 8, but again is spotty. Some people think the issue may be with mail.yimg.com or s.yimg.com, which I could see was the loading url in the left corner whenever Yahoo! Mail was refusing to work. A couple of people said blocking it caused the issue. Alternatively, some people suggested blocking it to solve the problem. Does anyone have any information on that? Again, I have no add-ons that would be blocking any urls, and my firewall hasn't any records of it. I really don't want to do anything to mess up my browsers more than they may have already been. Thanks for all of your help so far!

  • What key(s) do i type to change language from english to other? i am writing s story in dual languages. i was told to click command and space bar together but it is not working.

    what key(s) do it type to change language from english to other? i am writing a story in dual languages. I was told to click command and space bar together but it is not working.

    Command Spacebar opens Spotlight as you have found out. If you want to change languages you need to say what app you are using to write the story in, I'm guessing you are using Pages or MS Word. If that's the case
    Pages: Open Inspector - Click the T tab - Click Language and change your language.
    MS Word: Tools Menu - Language - Choose your language.

  • How to make the words show up without me prompting by tapping space bar?

    Now that I have gotten all the text on the front page to appearall together and not one line at a time, each line prompted by me hitting the Space bar, how do I get the words to appear all on their own without me tapping the space bar? This will be exported as a video to Youtube so the viewer won't be able to tap the space bar to make the video progress.
    Isn't there something called ”automatic”? I want to just click the “Play” button and have the text just appar all on its own.
    Mireille, thanks for telling me about that Build feature. It worked nicely. I chose “iris.”
    ~ Lorna in Southern California

    Oh now I see! It was in that hidden drawer, and to see that drawer you had to click Other Options. Ok. So now I set it to Automatic! Merci, Mereille. ~Lorna
