Switching from numpad to qwerty

hey guys,
i'm wondering if there's any way to get the iphone to switch to a full qwerty (or at least show me symbols) when it's showing the numpad. the only input choices i seem to get is 0-9, #, *, and "pause (,)".
thanks!
kyle

if this is for a html form field, then NO
This is the only instance I have come across where the formfield asks for numbers like a phone number but, you can not type dashes (and the website I was at required dashes.. banking site). I have run into this problem once... I chalked it up to a safari bug and posted it ot apple

Is there a way to switch from the QWERTY keyboard to the numerical "10-key"?

I am using my iPad 2 more frequently for my work, and it would be very useful if I could switch the keyboard from the standard QWERTY to the numeric "10-key" orientation for data entry. Is there an existing feature that can do this? I would love it to be a feature of the OS, not a specific app.
Thanks!

Multiple keyboard layouts... how do I stop it from defaulting to QWERTY?

I've been working on teaching myself the Dvorak layout. I've even re-arranged the keys on my laptop (which is partly because I LOVE to see people who can't touch-type struggle >:)
Unfortunately... the OS seems DETERMINED to use the QWERTY layout. Every time I switch apps, it goes back to qwerty as default... and I see no option anywhere to stop this. I could probably remove qwerty layout from the menu... but as I'm learning, this isn't exactly an option. And it's something that should be changeable.
Is there a way to stop this defaulting behavior, so if I set it to a different layout it'll STAY that way? I'm also working with a few Japanese sets, and it has the same irritating habit, so I can't quickly switch between apps.
If it remembered what setting that application had, I'd be even happier... but again, I can't find anything to effect this in the least.

Look, dude, if you've already thought of this, too, then spare me the sarcasm, ignore it and continue waiting for something better to come along.
But, since no one's been able to help you so far, notwithstanding your pleasant and welcoming demeanor, have you tried the following:
Select both Dvorak and Qwerty (and whatever else you want) from the input sources in System Preferences > International > Input menu.
Then click on the Keyboard Shortcuts button, which will take you to the Keyboard Shortcuts section of the Keyboard & Mouse pane.
Click the black triangle next to "input menu," check the boxes next to "select previous input source" and "select next input source in input menu," and set up easy to remember short cuts for switching back and forth between keyboard layouts. (If you see a yellow triangle next to the shortcuts, you'll have to change the default shortcut to something not already used by an application.)
Now, before you unload another barrel of sarcasm and urge me to read your post again, please know that I fully realize the foregoing workaround does not do exactly what you want to do, i.e., stop your keyboard from defaulting to Qwerty when you switch applications.
But, what it does let you do is, when you switch apps. and your keyboard defaults back to Qwerty, then you can easily, with a keystroke or two, switch back the your preferred method of input without having to go to System Preferences and check and uncheck boxes.
That's the best I've got on this one. If you don't like it for any reason -- such as the keystroke or two being too much work for you -- or for no reason at all for that matter, don't bother letting me know. If you do like it and it works for you, well that's great and that's why I posted.
Good luck.

I am switching from a pc to mac and want to know how I go about transferring files from one to the other. There is a chance that I will have to hand my pc back before I receive my MacBook so I will need to transfer on to some sort of external hard drive.

I am switching from an acer laptop to a MacBook Pro. I may have to hand in my laptop before I receive my new MacBook. What is the best way to back up my files so that I can transfer them to my MacBook. I cloud cannot be installed on my laptop because it uses a version of windows that is older and doesn't support it. Hope someone can help.

Connect a blank powered external drive to the PC.
Right click on the Disk in the File manager and choose format: exFAT
(if it's a XP machine, first install exFAT from Microsoft and reboot)
navigate to your user account folders on the PC and drag and drop copy (or copy and paste) to the external drive.
(if a program has your files, then export them out first)
Hook up the drive to the Mac, and transfer files to the desktop or to their same appropritate folders.
Import photo's into iPhoto program, import music into iTunes etc and they will manage those files.
You can continue to use the external exFAT drive between Mac's and PC's
Do not format the drive NTFS or FAT, NTFS can't be written too by the Mac and FAT can't hold over 4GB sized files.
If you format exFAT on the Mac, it likely won't work correctly on the PC.
"Migration" type programs are a utter waste of time and effort between PC's and Mac's for the fact that only certain files (and no programs or anything else) will work between them, also it's a hassle and takes too long. So don't even bother with it.

I switched from an iPhone to a Droid and can't receive texts from iPhones now, help?

I switched from my iPhone 4s to a Droid and I do not have that phone anymore. I can not recieve texts from anyone with an iPhone and can not get in contact with my girlfriend or siblings now. I think their phones are trying to send their texts as iMessages to my phone that does not recieve iMessages. How can I just delete my Apple account and recieve texts again?

Sounds like you didn't turn of iMessage on your iPhone before making the switch. If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it. Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

I switched from an iPhone to a Galaxy s4. Everything seems ok except text messaging with people who have an iPhone. I can send them a text, they can see it, but I cannot see what they text back. What can I do please?

I just switched from an iPhone to a Galaxy 4S and I like it except for text messaging. I can text, they can see it, but I cannot see their response if they are using an iPhone. Can you help me with this? What do I do please?

Congratulations on your new phone kathdogg! Now let's get your messaging working correctly. If you still have your old device, turn it on, go to settings, and turn off iMessaging.
If you are no longer in possession of your old device, you will need to remove your phone number from your Apple Support Profile. This can be done here: http://bit.ly/1cst2SC
Please keep us posted, and let us know if this resolves your issue!

Data network errors when manually switching from 3g to 2g

Hi everyone,
Apologies if this has been posted before but im running out of ideas! - Got my iphone 4 a couple of weeks ago and have noticed a rather irritating problem with it. For some reason, if i manually switch from 3g to 2g the data connection drops.. I get 'cannot activate cellular data network' errors and i have to toggle airplane mode on/off to reset the connection. Is this a network issue? - I live in London and am with Vodafone... Their tech support are useless as all they suggest is resetting the phone or getting it replaced. Its my third handset in 2 weeks and im getting close to calling it a day and sending the phone back to Apple. Anyone out there in a similar situation? - Advice??

Bump
So no-one has suffered this issue? - Not even fellow vodafone uk users?

I have switched from PC to Mac how do i use my windows version of adobe photoshop CS3 on my MAC?

i have switched from PC to Mac how do i use my windows version of adobe photoshop CS3 on my MAC?

rebel1568,
All Photoshop versions through CS6 came with platform-specific licenses, either Windows or PC. You could get a cross-grade of platform swap at a nominal cost but not for older versions, only for whatever Photoshop versions was current at the time.
CS3 is totally out of the upgrade or cross-grade loop. You'd have to buy a new license for CS6 Mac or subscribe to Photoshop CC, as Trevor points out.
Curt Y is correct in that CS2 will not run on current Mac-Intel machines. You would need a used Mac G5 or G4 with a PowerPC (IBM) CPU, which have been obsolete since mid 2006.
Of course, you could run your Windows on your Mac if you installed and ran BootCamp or Parallells.

I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? Help!

I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? I try to add songs from my music into my phone section and it will not go... Plus the playlists on my phone are not updated on my iTunes phone on my computer. Its like it never updated. What am I doing wrong??

Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.
When you sync to another it will delete the current content.
Make sure you have copied everything from your old computer to your new one first.

I know have a mobile me account and so my apple id is switched from my email address. i am trying to update my apps but it won't let me as it won't recognize my new 'ID'. how can i fix this on my iphone?

I have mobile me account now and so my apple id is switched from my email address to my mobile me address. Since I have made this change I can't update my apps. Everytime I try to sign in it won't recognize the switch. I have updated all the proper information on my iphone, however, when updating apps it still shows my apple id as my email address and not the mobile me account address. I am not sure what else to do??? I have even sync'd my iphone and tried to do it through my pc, however, it says that it can't update (nothing to update). I have ten updates sitting on my iphone apps...What to do...what to do? Very confused.

Where are you trying to log in? You should be able to change your ID at http://appleid.apple.com - can you log in there?
Before you change your ID you should log out of the iTunes Store and on any devices which are logged into iCloud. Then once you've changed it you can log back in with the new ID. (Your iCloud synced data will disappear from the device when you do this but will reappear when you sign back in - give it time).
If you are unable to sign into http://appleid.apple.com you will need to contact Support. Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. If you have any problems with that try this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

I believe you have to authorize the iPhone 4 in iTunes

My sound switches from internal speakers to apple Tv and i dont have an apple tv device

I am having problems with sound. My speakers will switch from internal speakers to Apple TV for no reason when I am on a certain wifi network and ask for a password. I do not have an apple TV and in order for the sound to come out on the internal speakers i have to manually go into the preferences and switch back to internal speakers. This does this constantly while i am listening to music. Is there a way to shut off the feature so it will stay on internal speakers? This has happened ever since i made the upgrade to OS mountain lion. I never did this before. Thank you for your help.

Are you sure that WIFI network doesn't have an AppleTV on it? Just because you don't own it doesn't mean there isn't one on that network. The laptop or better said the OS cannot differentiate between an AppleTV that you own or not. If it sees one on the network, it will show you one as being available. The automatic reconnection is happening probably because the last time you streamed to an AppleTV, you didn't drop that connection before sleeping the computer or shutting down iTunes.
