My ipad2 keyboard disappears sometimes

My ipad2 keyboard disappears sometimes, usually when I try to log on to things.

Try this first and see if it works.
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.

Why does the on-screen keyboard disappear once a Bluetooth device has been attached?

Once I've connected a bluetooth device to my ipad 2, the on-screen keyboard disappears and doesn't return until I re-start the ipad. I've tried this with both a bluetooth keyboard, as well as with a bluetooth pedal, which will do page up, page down, right and left arrows, etc.

Reset your phone , you wont lose anything. Hold the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up.

Making Keyboard Disappear

How do you make the keyboard disappear when it does not go away on its own, or when you are done?

I had the same problem on my ipad1. Here's what fixed it. Go to settings,general then keyboard. Hit international keyboard. Then hit the top line that lists the language you are using. It then says,"choose a software keyboard layout". It lists 3 types, qwerty,azerty and sweets. Choose a different one that is selected and then try your keyboard. If you don't like the new keyboard layout, you can always go back and select the same one you were using before when you had the problem! I figured this out today, it works!

In safari, the space bar on the keyboard disappears when I try to type in the search bar? (yet works fine when I tap the google search bar). Any suggestions?

Thats actually not a search bar. It's the address field. Frankly I hadn't noticed that the space doesn't display for the field, but it probably shouldn't. No well formed web address should have a space.
It should be noted however that the address bar is not strictly for URLs. You can also type bookmark names and history items (though not web searches). Here a space would occasionally come in handy. In fact when using an external keyboard it is possible to enter spaces in this field. So this is strictly a limitation of the on-screen keyboard.

Toolbar at the bottom of my ipad2 has disappeared???

The toolbar??? At the bottom of my ipad2 has disappeared... How do I get all the icons to show at the bottom again?? Eg photos, mail, safari etc...

How many homescreens have you got - there is a limit of 11 after which apps are only accessible via the search screen, but creating app folders should allow more to be 'visible'.
You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will re-arrange all your apps and should make it easier to find those apps - but you will lose any app folders that you've created. Or you could try via computer's iTunes : connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and select it on the left-hand side of it, and on the right-hand side of iTunes on the Apps tab you should see mock-ups of the iPad's screens, which might make it easier to find those apps and re-position them.

Ios8 keyboard disappears

Upgraded my iPhone 4S to IOS8, and occasionally the keyboard disappears. This happens in Mail, Messages or Safari... anywhere I'd expect a keyboard to show up ready for typing.
I'll tap the world icon, or drag down, and the keyboard disappears--even if I click in the To: or Subject field (or the URL Location bar in Safari), and the keyboard doesn't reappear. My workaround, is to double-tap the home button, bringing up the app switcher, and then quit the app. Upon re-entering the app, I can tap and view the keyboard again.
I'd added a few FREE keyboards (Swype, Fleksy, etc.), and thought that might be the issue, but I've tried disabling all extra keyboards and I still see the issue w no 'extra' keyboards.

I was able to recover my keyboard by:
Killing all apps
Going into Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Keyboards -> English, and change the keyboard type from QWERTY to something else
Back all the way out of settings to the main settings screen.
Opened up Mail, Safari, iMessage, or whatever and verify keyboard would come up.
Then once my keyboard appeared in my apps, I went and changed it back to QWERTY.
It seems to happen quite often and I have to keep repeating this process to get my keyboard to come back.

When I use Yahoo Messenger video chat the keyboard disappears

When I am using Yahoo Messenger the text chat back and forth works fine, but when someone sends me their cam I get a great picture, but the keyboard disappears, so I can't type anything. Is this normal? Do I have to buy the Apple Keyboard? Thx!
P.S. I am using an ipad mini wifi only.

More likely a yahoo issue and not apple, since you are using a 3rd party app. Suggest contact the app developer or visit their support forum, or read the reviews and see if other users are having the same problems.

Keyboard disappears after first letter

SSince the IOS 8 update every time I start in Google after typing 1st letter the keyboard disappears whilst in landscape mode.
i Have read about changing the settings whilst in Google but that doesn't work.
any idea when this will be fixed in an update,

Thanks for the reply, but i don't think this will solve the problem.
Here is some more detail: - it happened at the same time ( when updating to iOS8 ) on the iPad and the iPad mini.
- i believe this shows that is definitely the updated OS that causes the problem.
Also there are more "glitches" as well, like unable to update apps using wifi.
When the notification appears on the App Store logo, and i check which apps need updating, followed by "update all",
the small circle keeps turning ( the square does not appear in the middle)... signing in or not doesn't make any difference.
When i sync with the iMac, it shows that the apps are updating but the notification remains. The only way i managed to
clear that is to delete the app and reinstall it again. Very frustrating.... All this never happened with iOS7.
At this time, the iPad has no apps, no photos, no videos... just as when it was new, following the restore, but i still get
the disappearing cursor on Safari ! Amazing !

Lumia 820 Keyboard Disappears

I've had my 820 for about 4 weeks now and am loving it but I seem to have a problem with the keyboard, on certain forums like wpcentral whenever I use IE10 to answer a thread
the keyboard will pop up and then disappear again and I can't enter any text because the keyboard disappears to quick.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Has anyone got a solution for this?
Cheers all,

hi mate,
might be an issue with the way IE10 handles forms etc. as it is a Windows Phone 8 issue, I would leave feedback directly with Microsoft at the following link: http://windowsphone.uservoice.com

Keyboard disappears!!

recently my keyboard disappears in landscape orientation,,,can't type anything with no keys to see,,i do have the keyboard when the phone is vertical, but the keys are too small for me to use that way,,

Sorry for the trouble you're having. I personally contacted the manufacturer (HTC), and learned that since your keyboard is not displaying in landscape mode (as opposed to simply not rotating), there are a couple of things we can try. First:
- Tap Menu>Settings>Apps>Manage Apps> Choose Touch Input >Clear Data>Force Stop.
If this does not resolve the matter, please perform a factory reset. Please be sure to backup important data you have on the phone before taking these steps:
- Tap Menu>Settings>SD&Phone Storage>Factory Data Reset>Reset Phone>Erase Everything
When your phone reboots and you log into your Gmail account, the apps you had will be restored.
In the event this does not resolve the matter, your phone may be in need of replacement.
Thanks,

IPad2 keyboard question

My iPad2 keyboard is suddenly taking up space in the middle of the screen so i cannot tell where i am typing or see what I have typed? Is there any way to change this back to the bottom of the screen?

You have the split keyboard turned on. Tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select "Dock". That will put the keyboard back on the bottom of the screen.
You can turn this off in Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off.

Ok. I'm stumped. The right side scroll bar on my pages documents disappears sometimes. I don't know how to restore that function. If I widen the page field, it will appear for a short time. Very annoying if I am just using trackpad. What to do?

Ok. I'm stumped. The right side scrool bar on Pages documents disappears sometimes. I have no idea why. Nor do I know how to get it back. I've tried closing and reopening and restarting my macbook pro. If I widen the right side, I get the scroll bar for just a few seconds and then if fades away. I can't find anything it the help menus that fits it.

geek,
The scroll bar is consistent with the Full Screen approach in trying to maximize the working area of your screen. The scroll bar fades to make room for data. So, use your 2-fingered scroll or arrow keys for short moves. If you have a long way to scroll, the scroll bar will activate any time you scroll with the trackpad or the arrow keys and you can grab it and pull it to your desired position in the document.
One man's innovative is another man's irritant, I suppose.
