Slow loading of UIKeyboard in my iPhone app

Hi!
I'm experiencing a lag when initializing my UIKeyboard for the first time. This seems to be the case for many applications out there. I've only come a cross a few apps where the keyboard shows up immediately after it's called.
Is there some way to speed up the loading or maybe even preload the keyboard?
Best regards, Magnus.

Magnus,
I had the same question as you during the development of our first application. Ultimately, I ended up 'preloading' the UIKeyboard via a hidden keyboard on app startup.
I've got full details on how I implemented this (along with code) on my blog: http://bit.ly/2YlJ69

  • Contacts/Address Book slow loading on new iPhone 5

    I sync "Contacts" through iCloud. I had a very slow loading problem on a previous iPhone 4S. Now on a brand new iPhone 5, I have the exact same problem. After selecting a contact, it takes a long time for the contact details to display. Everything else works fine, just the "Contacts". What's wrong? Does anyone else experience this problem? What can be done to fix it? Thank you!

    Hello there littosnack,
    I was thinking that if you restored a backup of the previous phone to this one, then the issue may have been copied over to the iPhone 5. I think it would be a good idea to restore the phone as new, and setup your icloud account with the device but do not restore from a backup. If the issue does not persist, then I would recommend setting up your phone from the ground up.
    Backup your data first just make sure your content is safe.
    Before you jump into that I might recommend sections 1, 3, and 5 of our iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/
    Here is section 1 to get you started:
    Restart iPhone
    To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
    Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.

  • IPhone apps, iPad, and iOS 6

    I am having trouble finding and loading what seem to be iPhone apps to my ipad in IOS 6. Is there any way to do this?

    When you go into the App Store, do you see tabs on top, one for iPad, and another for iPhone?
    If so, click the iPhone tab and you'll be in business.

  • The app store is not working or loading on my Macbook Pro, iphone and ipad

    The app store is not working or loading on my Macbook Pro, iphone and ipad
    Today When I tried to open the app store on my ipad I found out that's the store is not working,,, It's giving me the loading screen like for ever without any error message. So I tried my Macbook and my iphone and it was the same,,,, I thought it was from the connection so I tried several different connections and It was the same.
    Any Idea what is going on with the app store ?

    The App Store app on your iPhone in your iPad is a different App Store than the app store app on your Mac. You use the same account for both app stores. So I would guess that the real issue is perhaps something to do with your Home Network. You might try rebooting your modem/router. Also, turn off any antiviral software, firewalls or apps such as Little Snitch.

    do you use the Google 2-step verification? If so, you need to generate a specific password for that to login.

  • IPhone apps after syncing have not loaded

    Hello I have just completed a  sync on my iPhone 5
    And have got all my apps on my iPhone although now that it is completed
    all the apps now
    Say waiting..... On my phone
    obviously they are waiting to load
    It has been a while now  is this normal?
    shouldn't they have been loaded when synced

    Just "upgraded" to iPhone 5 today from iPhone 4. I've encountered the same problem. About half my apps, all of which worked on the 4, say "waiting" and cannot be used on the 5.

  • Slow Text and Find my iPhone app

    Since the iOS4 update my 3G texting has been delayed and can't type as fast as before the update. Anyone having the same problems? Also, the find my iPhone app is useless on the 3G because it requires multitasking, correct?
    Going to wait for all the chaos and whoop-la to calm down before getting the iPhone 4.

    My texting has been super delayed...can't quickly write any messages, and it takes a long time for the message to load on the screen and to change orientation if I turn the phone around. Very frustrating. I've tried restoring the phone a few times, but it hasn't seemed to help. Have you figured anything out that fixes it?

  • Do deleted iphone apps slow down the iphone?

    Do deleted iphone apps slow down the iphone?
    When I delete an app off my iPhone 4s, does the cookie or "what ever is left of it" slow down the iPhone at all?
    Thanks

    No. Apps are all self-contained, so nothing will be left after you delete an app. And even if you leave the app on the iPhone, unless it's running it doesn't slow down your iPod.
    This is the iPod touch forum, by the way. Just FYI for future questions.
    Regards.

  • Apple Configurator not loading find my iphone app

    Have 4G iphones with iOS 6.1.3 trying to load via Apple Configurator app 'Find My iPhone' v 2.0.2.  Can load all other apps but this one. Has anyone encountered this problem and know a fix please?

    Thanks for responding.  I have over 100 iPhones I'm updating for our company- I was hoping that 'Find My iPhone' app would load like all the other app's using Apple Configurator. I would prefer not to install 'Find My iPhone' for each iPhone via iTunes.

    I've had my iPhone 4 for about 4 months now, and suddenly some apps aren't working. They open and appear to work, but as soon as you try to do something it doesn't load. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it. I also force shut down my phone. I synced it to iTunes. Nothing is working. Does anyone know what I can do?

    Basic troubleshooting steps oultlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    You need to go through all steps in succession until your problem is solved.  If going through ALL these steps fails to resolve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Can i load xml file on iphone app?

    i need load a xml on a ios app .. to display image and sound..
    i heard the load functions are not allowed on ios apps
    thats true?

    I am working on an iOs application using a XML file - and it runs without any problems.
    I store the file in the "data" folder relatively to the application folder:
       xmlReq = new URLRequest("data/"+quiz_XMLfile);
       //creates new XML instance and loads the xml file
       xmlLoader = new URLLoader  ;
       xmlLoader.load(xmlReq);
       //adds an event listener for successful completion of XML load.;
       xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,xmlLoaded);
      private function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void
       var list_XML:XML = new XML(xmlLoader.data);

  • Hi there, I have installed iTune on my new Toshiba laptop which runs on Win 8.  I can update itune on Toshiba laptop, sync but the iphone Apps still showing app to be updated.  Restarted both Itune

    Hi there, I have installed iTune on my new Toshiba laptop which runs on Win 8.  I can update itune on Toshiba laptop, sync but the iphone Apps still showing app to be updated.  Restarted both Itune and iphone....reset phone backup....to no avail.....HELP!

    I have removed now all bloatware from laptop, CCleaner run and some more stuff: installed Libre Office, Free Avast, Mozilla Firefox - Spotify was preinstalled. And now this is even better - really simple and fast.
    I also removed Ethernet completely, as I don't want to be locked at one place. It's not cool to use laptop on divan sofa. So tired after hour of sitting in uncool position. Wifi speed loss is almost 50%. 95 Mbps I get from 100 Mbps at Ethernet and on Wifi in laptop I get at max 50 Mbps. It's only for end this year this way, then I will slow down my connection anyway as for one person and laptop/smartphone it's way too much of speed for 40 €. With 27€ I can get the same 10M/10M and it will be more than enough. Now I have 100M/10M.
    I'm also considering about 50M/10M option for 32.90 €, but I will see what I do. I download now test file 10GB and it loads 30-40 Mbps and sometimes even as fast as 50 Mbps. It depends on server also, but ebven on Google, which works on Ethernet at 95 Mbps, it is on Wifi nothing more than 51 Mbps.
    It's also 10GB of 1,100 Offlined tracks, I tested it now. So on trips 32GB card should be enough for my phone. I'm going to one soon :)

  • Why Must I put in Credit / Debit Card Info, To Load mp3 songs on my iPhone?

    I am curious as to why I "MUST" put in my
    Credit Card / Debit Card information if I want
    to download some basic games, use iTunes on
    my PC-Computer to copy mp3 files to my 'new-used'
    iPhone 3G phone, and when I validate more
    information it comes back to "Please Provide
    Credit Card / Debit Card Information" ect.. There is
    no alternative means to simply load mp3 songs to
    your iPhone w/out having to put in sensitive debit
    card / credit card information?
    iTunes can't have a feature, where you pick the songs
    you want to load on your iPhone from your PC or
    Mac Book, for FREE? I guess.. I'll do without..
    as this seriously hurts my feelings. *SIGH*
    It would be nice and wonderful, iTunes can allow you
    to load as many songs as possible from your PC-Desktop,
    to your iPhone for FREE, without providing any sensitive
    credit card / debit card information, without the FEAR of
    being charged, and disputing with Credit Card Companies,
    and disputing with Apple billing ect.
    I think I'll stick to my old phone for my music files.
    Or I hope I find some wealthy Jewish sugar mamas, or
    Jewish sugar cougars that own 90% corporate stock into
    Apple, Microsoft, and other music sharing software that
    scans for viruses and malware ect. To help pay the prices
    or Apple charge my debit / credit card for loading songs
    onto my prepaid, brand-new-used, 3G iPhone.
    I am not making sense, because the terms of agreements
    I read don't really make sense to me?

    If you download anything from the iTunes & App Store, with your existing Apple ID, you need to link a valid credit card info to your Apple ID.
    You won't be charged for free games or syncing your music from computer.
    If you do not want to put your credit card info in, use iTunes Gift cards which you can buy nearly everywhere.

    Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
    Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.
    Memory in the MacBook Air is not upgradable. If that's what you have, you should restore the previous system from a backup, or replace the machine. Ask if you need guidance.
    The Etrecheck report clearly shows that SylvieRose has a Macbook Pro, not a Macbook Air and that there are only 2 GB  RAM installed.  The Etrecheck report can be very informative if one takes the time to examine it.

  • Iphone apps .... how do I get my old 3GS apps onto my new iphone4?

    I am sure this has been asked many times before, but help me please because I just don't get it.
    My Iphone 3GS was synched to my macbook itunes but the hard drive in my notebook failed and had to be replaced. So now with my new iphone how do I get those apps which I paid for already? When I hook up my iphone to my macbook to sync the apps, it tells me that all the apps on my new phone (which I have already placed several apps) will be erased and synced to the 3 apps on my macbook in the itunes library.
    And when I go into my itunes account it lists all the apps that I have purchased, but they don't appear in the itunes app tab on my macbook, and so they won't sync. So someone in another post said to just download the app again and you won't be charged.... but I had a bad experience with that on my Ipad (downloaded an app right after I got the Ipad--> Ipad crashed (or maybe it was me) and had to restore the Ipad-> had to re-download the app and got charged for it again. Emailed apple and they said too bad but made a one time exception and credited my account. I am afraid that they will definitely not be willing to do this again).
    So exactly how does this work?.... I am afraid to try to sync my new phone because it will erase the apps I already loaded and won't re-install apps already purchased.

    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you replaced your hard drive, your phone will see your computer as a "new" computer and all itunes content will first be deleted from your phone. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in iCal & Address Book. The entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, itunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click(Control Click) in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    That's as good as it gets without a backup of your itunes library.
