The letters on my iPad keep repeating when I use the keyboard

The letters keep repeating when I use the keyboard

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Multiple letters result when you 'hold down' a key too long.
For best results, touch the on-screen 'keyboard' lightly and quickly with your fingertips.
I find it is easier to type with more accuracy on the larger 'landscape' keyboard, because the keys are spaced better for my fingers.
If you are trying to use a compatible iPhone or iPod Touch app, use the 2x button in the lower right corner to enlarge the iPhone keyboard. (But it still won't be the same layout as the iPad.)
If you've never done much typing, it might help to use a typing tutor app. Several are available in the iTunes App store.
If you have a lot of text to enter (writing papers, transcribing recordings, writing a novel), you might consider purchasing a compatible wireless keyboard. In my experience, two different USB keyboards I own do work when plugged into the USB Camera Connection kit, even though the iPad may 'complain' about the keyboard being an unsupported device.

Is there anyway to find a new font on Pages for iPad? The letters are hard like a rock when you use foreign languages like Thai. The fonts on device do not support foreign language.

These are user to user help forums. To tell Apple you want more fonts for Thai, go here:

But I suspect this is likely one of those things for which you will always have to use a full computer rather than a iPad.

I have made an imovie on my ipad and for some reason the final edit will not keep. When I open the actual projct to edit, it is the way I want it, but when I look at the actual movie

I have made an imovie on my ipad and for some reason the final edit will not keep. When I open the actual projct to edit, it is the way I want it, but when I look at the actual movie and what loads up to youtube is the version prior to this final fix. I have tried fixing it at least twenty times. The open to edit version has the video the way I want but when I upload it to youtube, its not the version I want to show.

Well, assuming all of the above, Notifications, etc., it just might be time for a visit to the Apple tore genius center for a session with the techs. See if it is a fault in the hardware or just an iOS reinstall is the answer.
One more thing you could try, backup so you have a record of content, then restore to factory conditions be an Erase All Contents and Settings. Then restore from the backup you just made. That has helped some with WiFi problems, may be it would work with your problems.
But with that behavior of another app with problems, the geniuses looks like a less stressful thing to do.

Are the fonts that are available to me when I am using the free trial of InDesign less than when I use the purchased version of InDesign?

Try to find out: When you install the Creative Cloud Desktop app, Click Assets, then click Fonts. Click Add Fonts from Typekit. If you can do that, you're in. Of course, you won't be able to use them more than 30 days unless you subscribe. (But fonts embedded in a PDF or EPUB file would be fine.)
Those of us who are CC subscribers cannot test this out easily.

I can hear the caller, but they cannot hear me when I use the speaker function on my iPhone4. Are there any fixes?

Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Try each of these steps until your problem is solved. If these steps fail to solve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple (or an authorized service provider in your area) for evaluation.

Safari keeps closing when I use the spacebar

Safari also scrolls the page up and down with every stroke of the spacebar, and also goes to the previous page when I use the delete button. What's going on?!
I just upgraded to snow leopard so I believe it has something to do with it...

How do I find the device for my iPad 2? When I found the app, it stated that it worked with iPhone, iPod, and iPad2.

I downloaded the iPad2 app for Firefox, have gone into my MacBook, opened it up, set the preference, and then it wanted the numbers for the device. Where do I find the numbers?
Then I found no iPad2 listed. The information on the App Store stated that it definitely was available for iPad2, but no luck syncing it.
I do have the bluetooth up and running, but will that serve to sync? Should I go ahead and run a normal sync.

Whow what a shame, I thought this iPad was going to be terrific. Guess I'll get out my trusty Cannon from now on, lots less hassle.
Thank you for the reply!

Photoshop CS5 keeps crashing when I use the mixer brush

Not sure what the problem is, I installed the trial version and have been using the mixer brush as it is an amazing tool, but the program freezes repeatedly. I have run the latest CS5 windows update. I have a pretty good system on windows vista 64bit, ATI Radeon graphics card, 6GB ram, Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz, 2668 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s), Dell Studio XPS 435MT.
This seems to happen randomly but there is no escaping it. Does anyone know how to fix this program? It appears that my processes are only using 2GB of available 6GB of RAM.
I need help, this is killing me. thanks.

Are you running the 32 or 64 bit variant of Photoshop? Both are installed on a 64 bit system.
What kind of memory allocation are you allowing Photoshop to use? Check Edit - Preferences - Performance.
Also, are you configured to use the OpenGL acceleration? Same dialog.

Motion 5 - Keeps crashing when i use the text tool

Just installed the Motion 5. Crashes wheni use the text tool for no reason. the project browser doesn't load too. What happened to apple products? They used to be good.

I had the same issue and what solved it for me was to clean up the fonts.
I moved all my fonts from /Users/me/Library/Fonts to /Library/Fonts ....
that did it for me ... plus it renders the typefaces correctly when you open projects later.
hope it works for you too?!

I have been organizing my bookmarks into folders. There are a bunch of bookmarks that appear on the Bookmarks Menu that do not appear when I used the Organize Bookmarks option. Therefore I can't organize them. How do I get at them and move them to folders

I used Organize Bookmarks to put some bookmarks in folders. When I had done all the bookmarks that appeared outside of folders in the Organize Bookmarks window, I closed it and looked at my bookmarks menu. Under my folders were some other bookmarks that I hadn't seen in Organize Bookmarks and when I used it again, they still weren't visible. Therefore, I couldn't move them into folders.

Update - I discovered that the entire list of bookmarks can be accessed in the Organize Bookmarks window by clicking on the icon for Bookmarks Menu.
This seem like odd interface behaviour to me.
All the other software I use follows the pattern that an icon with a triangle to the left, which you click on to expand the menu tree downwards, shows the entire contents of the category when you click on the triangle. In other words, you don't get a different response by clicking on the icon from what you get by clicking on the triangle.
It also seems odd to me that when an unsorted bookmarks folder is automatically provided that unsorted bookmarks would not be placed there by default.
Anyway, by getting the list of bookmarks displayed this way I was able to simply right-click on items in the list and delete them, as I thought I should be able to do. Problem solved. Organize Bookmarks interface found to be somewhat unintuitive.

Safari keeps crashing when I use the back button

I'm using safari version 5.1.5
It doesn't happen every time, but it happens often and is annoying usually when I'm at a website and I hit the back button at upper left hand corner.
I then have to Force Quit Safari.
Thanks for any help.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

The insert cursor is at the top of the page and as i scroll down the insertion cursor scrolls down as well when I use the directional buttons.

in all tabs once i open firefox the scrolling is kind of messed up. IE i'll be on any web site and click the down button it scrolls all the way down to the bottom or it will only scroll some. It was a problem months ago and have recently reinstalled Firefox and the problem persists. Please help

Maybe you have Caret browsing turned on? It is toggled with the '''F7''' key.

Have you got the latest version of iTunes on your computer ? See if this troubleshooting article helps : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

I currently have an iPad and thinking of buying another for my wife. When I download books from iBooks will they download automatically on both iPads when i use the same account information?

If I have two iPads and download from iBooks, will they download automatically on both iPads?

You will need to download the book on each iPad. also you need to use the same account on both devices.
