My iPad has "zoomed in" whilst using "Pages"-now frozen in zoom

I was typing away...then suddenly the screen zoomed in and I could no longer see what I had been doing.
I've tried navigating my way out of it using finger gestures...it doesn't work. Seems to be stuck in zoom.
I've done a hard reset... no change. I've reset the iPad to factory settings and reloaded everything. That made no difference either...
It is very difficult to navigate through the screens and get into settings because they don't appear on the screen. They can't be scrolled-to either as the screen view just springs back to zoom in the centre at the top of the screen. I had to move the app icons in settings in iTunes, so I could open Pages again or to get into my Settings preferences. If I turn it upside down, I can get to the icons on the bottom of the screen - but that's the only way I've been able to.
It seems as though the background is drifting around independantly of the icons in the foreground. I noticed this when I was trying to scroll and zoom-in / zoom-out.
Has anyone else had this problem?...or know what to do to solve the issue?? The ipad is totally usless as it is - except as a paperweight maybe...
The operating system is 4.3.3 (8J3)
...actually, I've just discovered that I can slowly scroll the screen by touching an edge - still...it's useless

Thanks!
I don't know how I managed to zoom in to start with? I was typing madly
Anyway...that is a lesson I'll be sure to remember...

Ipad (OS 5.1.1) using pages incompatible with icloud. If I open up one of the docs from icloud, I can no longer open it on my ipad. Looks like the pages version gets updated to a version that is incompatible with my ipad.

I have the original ipad (OS 5.1.1) using pages 1.7.2 and backing up to icloud. If I open up one of the docs from icloud, I can no longer open it on my ipad. Looks like the pages version gets updated to a version that is incompatible with my ipad. Is there anyway stopping icloud from changing the version and is there a way to recover the old version of the document on my ipad?

Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

My ipad has upgraded to IO6, but is now no longer recognised on my mac (10.5.8) or my itunes (10.6.1). What can I do? Can I revert ipad back?

You can't downgrade the iOS on the iPad.
Quit iTunes, reboot the Mac and reboot the iPad and then try again.
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 - let go of the buttons.

My ipad has deleted hundreds of photos and now says it doesn't have enough memory to take any more photos.

My ipad 2 has deleted hundreds of photos and now says there is not enough memory to take any more photos! Help!

Have run a complete virus check / No problems
Used MacKeeper to get rid of junk files.
There is your problem.
Why on Earth did you install MacKeeper??? Get rid of it and do NOT use zeobit's uninstaller. It will make things worse.
Do NOT install anti-virus software on Macs.

That is just one horror story about MacKeeper. There are many others right here on Apple Support. Search for "uninstall MacKeeper".

Hi, recently my iPad has been crashing when using the apps. What can I do to solve this? Thanks

I also have trouble using the wifi, on some occasions I have to disconnect from the wifi and reconnect to load web pages. Is this my device or my internet? I have called my service provider and they have not been able to solve my problem. Thanks.

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 the screen blacks out or 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.

My iPad has been reported stolen and is now locked.

My iPad Mini had been reported stolen and is now locked with a passcode. I didn't report it nor is it stolen. I live no where near a Apple store and have no means of getting to one, is there anything I can do?

How do you know that it has been reported stolen?
If someone used "Find my iPhone" to lock your iPad mini then they must know your Apple ID and password. This sounds a bit like an inside job/joke. If not, you should immediately change your password.
If you cannot find the passcode then:
You will need to restore your iPad from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

If you can't do the restore then you will need to try recovery mode.

Font smoothing whilst using zoom??

I am a visually impaired person, who has just converted to a Mac! I'm using the built in zoom feature, but am having trouble with blurred fonts whilst using zoom. I have tried adjusting screen contrast, colours, smoothing styles, but can't get a sharp image for fonts when they are magnified. Does anyone have any tips or soluions to help me with this?
mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The problem here is that the zoom facility simply magnifies the pixels on the screen.
For documents such as web pages, try changing the size of the font used first; the Safari shortcut is cmd + (command and plus sign), and the reverse is cmd - (command and minus sign), being careful not to take it down smaller than the starting size when you reduce it again. A judicious combination of that with the screen zoom feature should enable you to deal with most web pages.
For PDFs, use the zoom built in to Preview (again, the shortcuts are cmd + and cmd -) to get the document to a legible size, then use the screen zoom if necessary.
For your own documents, pick your fonts carefully—you'll probably find Andale Mono, Geneva, Helvetica, Lucida Grande, Tahoma and Verdana to be the most legible. Then set the default font size to, say, 16 or 18 point to begin with, work on your document making fonts bigger or smaller as needed, zooming in and out as you wish. When you've finished it, select all (cmd A) then reduce the font size uniformly (normally cmd -), perhaps four steps, taking your 16-point down to 12, which will look fine when you print it or fax it. At this point, you no longer need to read the text, so can concentrate on the shape of the layout, moving line and paragraph breaks around as you wish to achieve an aesthetic appearance.
Similarly, any text documents you are sent that can be opened in a word processor can have their fonts changed or enlarged. Work on a copy if you're worried about overwriting an original.
Hope this helps,
Archie

How do I put a capital letter in the middle of a word using Pages on an iPad?

I have a English last name that has "Mc" as the first two letters, Traditionally, the third letter is capitalised. This 4th gen iPad running Pages 1.71 won't let me do it. i've tried puting it in as a shortcut - but to no avail. Any suggestions?

that feature is gone. Continue to use Pages 4.3, which should still be in an iWorks folder within your Applications folder, and let Apple know what you think:

Also review and rate on the App Store.

Can I create books for the iBookstore for iPad and iPhone using Pages?

Can I create books for the iBookstore for iPad and iPhone using Pages?

No problem, Peter. iBooks Author makes a lot of things much easier than trying to grapple with a standard epub, but it also has some big limitations, like iPad only, and ibookstore only.
EDIT It's not really suitable for something like a novel, for example, although it's great when you need lots of illustrations and movies and such.

Is anyone having problems using pages app with iPad mini?

I have to use a template report for my job- which other people with normal sized iPads also use- I use pages to convert the word doc - which contains writing and boxes - I complete the report and send it back to work, when they open it all the writing can't be seen down the right hand side, so I'm having to write three words per line in each box so they can read it when they open it, this is not ideal and wondered if its the iPad mini that can't cope ? Wondering weather to get the standard size iPad although I don't really want to do that.
I also need a way of password protecting my work can anyone help ?
Thanks

I have an HP Scanjet 8390 with the same problem ($1600 new when I bought it). Using the "HP Scan.app", I am able to scan but not save - something about a read only file.
The HP Scanjet 8390 is a business class **DUPLEX document scanner built like a tank, critical to my business (and personal). ie. I scan 100's of duplex pages a day for the last 6 years with no problems. It has a 14" glass for legal documents, 48-bit, +programmable hard buttons to scan and copy, or scan and print, OCR...
I called 1-800-633-3600.. HP told me they do not support legacy products, have no intention of updating the drivers for legacy products and suggested I buy a new scanner (even though my old scanner works perfectly and is faster and not ).
What is considered a legacy product? 1 year? 2 years? Am I to buy a new ($1000) scanner every 1-2 years? What benefit do I get from a new equivalent scanner?

Hi Lismoyne29,
It sounds like you may have accidentally activated zooming in your Accessibility settings. Here is an article that can tell you about this feature and how to deactivate it:

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
