Space bar stops working while texting

My ihpone 5 is only a few days old and it's my first iphone.
Twice today while I was texting, the space suddenly stopped working. The cursor would advance as if I had typed a period, and start a new sentence with a capital letter, but would only back space as far as where the space bar wouldn't work. I could not back up past that point and could only go forward if I started a new sentence. Has this happened to anyone else?

I agree with others, this doesn't sound like a ML problem.  It is either a H/W problem, or..., it is possible that something got into the keyboard.  For example, if you were eating around it, perhaps some type of crumb got under the key.  That would do it too.
You can try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh88cn_rtLo
This can be a pain if you haven't done it before.  But worth a try if you'd have to otherwise pay for a new keyboard (and if it is a crumb versus a bad switch/button).

  • Delete Key and Space Bar Stopped Working

    I have an older MacPro  - the MacPro 1,1 model.
    Hadn't used it in a while a - when I set it up again the keyboard's Delete key and SpaceBar won't work.
    Here is the topline:
    1. I left the power cord in the office and used a PC one. Not sure if this could be the cause.
    2. I upgraded to 10.6.8 the most current. Didn't help.
    3. Reset the PRAM - Didn't Help.
    4. Checked the Keyboard Viewer - Not sure what that does other than to confirm something is happening.
    If I had to guess - and based on other forums I have looked at - it will likely be a power issue.
    How that affects these keys - I have no idea.
    I will test this next.
    But if anyone has experienced this would love to hear if you solved it.
    Thanks,
    -jc

    Thanks Grant,
    appreciate the info.
    I did try that, and switching the power cord (Which was a long shot) and still not luck.
    Pretty facinating issue.
    I am going ot continue to look through the forums and see if I find anything.
    Thanks again!
    If anyone else has had this issue with an older MacPro - I would love ot hear it.

  • 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.

  • New ipod nano stopped working while playing will not even turn tried to charge it still nothing HELP!!!

    new ipod nano stopped working while playing will not even turn tried to charge it still nothing HELP!!!

    Change the rice and dry for another couple of days. Then:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Touch Screen stops working while charging

    Hi All,
    I have just purcahsed a Torch 9810 and have uploaded it with latest OS 7.1. I am facing problems like :
    1. The touch screen stops working while the phone is getting charged.
    2. The screen gets hanged very frequently. Should we use it very calmly or is it hanging because we use it too fast. For this condition,solution i am left with is a HARD RESET. But till when this will help. Please suggest some work around.
    3. When i select Loud profile,for sometime it works and after that it stops working. I try to ring it manually by going to LOUD profile sound settings and pressing the TRY IT option. I do use a cover. Does it makes any difference ? The problem goes when i do a HARD RESET. But why is this happening ? Any Other setting neds to be done ?
    Please HELP or Suggest what to do !!!!!
    Regards,
    Ronak Gupta

    This is probaly a software problem in my opinion this could probably be resolved at the genius bar in any apple store also your phone should be under warranty as it is a iphone 5 and they did not come out not so long ago so in other words go to a apple store and they might have to replace the phone. In my experience this has nothing to do with the cable but a software issue in ios did this issue happen in any earlier version of ios

  • Welcome page navigation bar stopped working

    I just made a few changes to my welcome page.  Not sure what happened but the navigation bar at the top no longer works.  It works on the other pages.  At one point I retitled the page to "home" and it seems like that may have screwed things up.  Now I can't figure out how to get it to work. Any ideas?  It is iWeb 3.0.4

    figured out the problem.  I made some links on the welcome page to the same pages as the nav bar and made the bar stop working for some reason.

  • Why has my 8x8 desktop app on my Macbook Pro running OS X Yosimite 10.10.1 suddenly stopped working while the app on my iPhone and the online service both work fine?

    Why has my 8x8 desktop app on my Macbook Pro running OS X Yosimite 10.10.1 suddenly stopped working while the app on my iPhone and the online service both work fine? Is this because of some recent software update by Apple? 8x8 support acknowledges issues with no current work-arounds? The 8x8 desktop app worked until early December, then quit. I've deleted and re-downloaded the app, but no difference.

    The solution is :
    1. Delete iPhone configuration utility. Just drop it to the trash
    2. Run
    sudo rm -rf /private/var/db/receipts/com.apple.pkg.iPhoneConfigurationUtility.*
    rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoneConfigurationUtility.plist*
    3. Delete the whole folder: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext
    4. Reinstall iTunes (just over the previous one)
    5. Restart

  • ITunes has stopped working while sync photos

    I have been having problems since I updated iTunes to 10.4, it keeps crashing (itunes has stopped working) while sync photos. After uninstalling and re-installing the problem still stayed. I therefore tried sync photos a batch at a time (15 photos at a time) IT WORKED but I still cannot sync my videos. I think that the problem is that this new version of itunes cannot cope with big files and therefore it crashes. I HOPE THAT APPLE WILL SORT OUT THIS PROBLEM

    downgrade to itunes 10.3 as 10.4 broke this feature. if not, just unclick the include videos box and your sync should complete. here's hoping apple fixes this in itunes 10.5.

  • My scrolling bar stopped working when I updated to firefox 3.6.9 and adobe flash 10.1

    Never had a problem before, but when I just updated to Firefox 3.6.9 my scrolling bar stopped working. It still works in vistas explorer and wordperfect, just not firefox.
    At the same time I updated to adobe flash 10.1 (I think). Whatever the latest version is.
    thnaks

    I have the same problem. I have never had a problem with Firefox before, and use it as my main browser. However recently, after updating to 3.6.8, its been crashing all the time. Up to 20 times an hour. Usually it occurs when I click a link from a Google search, or in Yahoo. Even if I send in a crash report and restart Firefox, it crashes as soon as the same page is brought back up, or the same link is clicked. I have also had it crash when completely idle. Its very frustrating as it is my favorite browser. I've resorted to using Google Chrome for the time being.

  • Search bar stopped working

    since the last FF update (35), the search bar stopped working.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode.
    You can open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu and check the "Compatibility" tab.
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
    You can check if you have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the browser\searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
    If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.
    You can find the full version of the current Firefox 36.0.4 release in all languages and for all operating systems here:
    *https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    Try to delete the search.json file and possible search-metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to reset the search engines to the default.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
