Touchpad bug please help?

Okay so I'll be typing in an app.  Currently using Google voice, but also happens in notepad, safari.  Suddenly the app closes.  Or the paragraph I'm typing is deleted...or the app jumps to another app.
What is the magic swipe/key I'm touching that causes this?  I'm typing on the bottom of the screen and the back button is up top so no idea here.
Undo/Redo doesn't do anything.
Shaking the ipad doesn't bring the text back either. 
Any help appreciated.
edit: I think I may have figured this out!

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Baffled by a strange bug - please help!!!

    Hi all,
    I am baffled by a bug in a program I am working on that I just
    can't understand. Here is the code that causes a SIGSEGV crash:
    268      int k = wfall_pixbuf.rowstride;
    269      pix[0] = pix[ -k ];
    270      pix[0] = pix[ -wfall_pixbuf.rowstride ];
    Output of gdb:
    Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
    0x00000000004152b2 in Display_Waterfall () at display.c:270
    270          pix[0] = pix[ -wfall_pixbuf.rowstride];
    wfall_pixbuf is a struct that encapsulates a GdkPixbuf together
    with some variables that hold the values of some properties like
    rowstride above.
    I added lines 268 and 269 in despair and the program
    works well if I comment out line 270, which does (I think)
    the same job as 269. I can't see how wfall_pixbuf.rowstride
    can change value from line 268 to 270???
    Please help!!!

    hello,
    I think it's a type issue: what type is wfall_pixbuf.rowstride ?
    in the case
    int k = wfall_pixbuf.rowstride;
    pix[0] = pix[ -k ];
    you are making a negative value out of type "int" - precisely signed int
    when wfall_pixbuf.rowstride is unsigned, the result is undefined...
    what does
    pix[0] = pix[ -(int)wfall_pixbuf.rowstride ];
    do? should work the same as lines 268 and 269
    Ahh, thank you very much! rowstride is of type guint, which is
    a GTK2 type definition, essentially I think it boils down to
    unsigned int. So that was the issue :-)
    I am surprised that I didn't make a mistake of this sort till now
    but its never too late.... ;-)

  • Now Playing list. bugged please help me

    So i finally converted to the x-fi wave. Point is i was all happy until i encountered the sad and super annoying playlist of the new creative media player. before i had the audigy 2zc or w/e with the old media player. but it was a lot nicer, all the features were in it and u didn't have to open different panels to access a lot of the special settings.
    Point is, now i cant keep a clean record of the music i play. every time i open a new mp3. it deletes everything. only way to actually make a play list is to drag and drop a bunch ... thats way annoying. i think this is a bug. so please help me anybody Message Edited by archangel202 on 09-20-200708:27 PM

  • Keyboard Bug - PLEASE HELP!

    I've purchased my Z10 less than 1 week ago and I've noticed this problem the very next day. At first I assumed it was a small problem and it wouldn't happen often but it's been occuring EVERY DAY at least once and it's gotten really irritating now. 
    The virtual keyboard on the Z10 works perfectly fine, the buttons dont stick, spell check is working properly and I'm able to type with this keyboard with no problems, HOWEVER for some odd reason the keyboard STOPS functioning sometimes while I'm sending an SMS. The keyboard is still visible, I'm still able to press the buttons on the keyboard as they become highlighted whenever I do. However, no actual letter/character appears in the message box no matter how many buttons I press. The only thing which seems to temporarily fix this problem is restarting my blackberry Z10 device which can be very annoying and time consuming.
    Please help me out with this problem as I have tried searching online for days and can't find a solution. Is this a problem with the Z10 software? will there be an update fixing this? am I the only one experiencing this problem?
    Please note that I have not once dropped my phone, it's been kept in MINT condition with a case on it. Everything else works perfectly fine with my Z10, this is the only MAJOR issue

    I just tried exactly what you said. Mis-spelled a word (easy for me) , hit the red underlined word, it popped up a window that said 'no suggestions', I tapped at the end of my sentence and carried on typing. No hang up at all.

  • Problems building a spatial index - this must be a bug please help!

    Hi,
    We have a rather large spatial data warehouse. The schema is a star schema and is partitioned. During a load recently we had an error with one particular dataset, when building the index we got:
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-29855: error occured in the execution of ODCIINDEXCREATE routine
    ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_INDEX_METHOD_10I", line 10
    We have seen this kind of thing before, but usually dropping the data and reloading works fine (or rebuild the index). I should not that this obviously occurs before the partition is exchanged in. We are running 10.2.0.2 on red hat ES3.
    With this error we tried to reload the data, but get the same. We tried the data on another copy of the system, and the same. We have tried the data on a 10.2.0.3 and an 11.1.0.6 database and all fail at the same location. We have validated the geometries - all fine, I have tried changing the DIMINFO so that it spans the whole globe, it failes again (by the way we are on SRID 8307 and all data is point type). The data is approx 1.2M rows and I have tried subdividing it up into smaller tables and these all build fine. I have partitions with much higher row counts and these are fine. I have tried everything possible including changing index parameters e.g. parallel tablespace etc. I have tried it on a tablespace without ASSM and one with and both fail. I have an export of the data if anyone would be available to try it?
    I would really appreciate any help at all on this one.
    Thanks

  • My Iphone 6 Screen has been bugging Please Help

    My Iphone 6 Screen has been bugging out lately it bounces up and down and just gets really blurry. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi,
    By "Bounces up and Down", do you mean this:
    The content of the screen drops down and about a third of the top of the screen is blank.
    When you press the home button or any icon, the content moves back to the top of the screen.
    If this is what you are seeing, it is intentional. It is meant as a way for you to be able to easily reach the icons at the top row of the screen.
    Double tap the home button. Do not press the button, just lightly tap it.
    All the content should drop down.
    Pressing the home button or any icon will shift the content back up again.
    This is a new feature designed for the larger screens in the 6 and 6+.

  • Major app store BUG, PLEASE HELP!!!

  • ResetPasswrd Bug - Please Help

    Hi,
    We are using the 11g ASP.Net membership provider, according to the Oracle documentation the ResetPassword method behaves as follows:
    "If an incorrect answer is supplied to the ResetPassword method, the internal counter that tracks invalid password-answer attempts is incremented by one."
    The counter does not appear to be incrementing. Is there some way of changing the stored procedure? Or a bug fix being released for this?
    Cheers.
    Ray

    First of all, RequiresQuestionAndAnswer must be set to true. Otherwise,
    invalid password-answer attempts are not tracked.
    Secondly, how long is the value (in minutes) you set for PasswordAttemptWindow
    property through passwordAttemptWindow attribute? The default value is 10 minutes.
    The doc about PasswordAttemptWindow property mentions,
    "The PasswordAttemptWindow property works in conjunction with the MaxInvalidPasswordAttempts
    property."
    But it does not mention that if the interval between the current failed attempt and the last failed
    attempt is greater than the PasswordAttemptWindow property setting, each failed attempt is
    treated as if it were the first failed attempt."
    In this case, the counter for password-answer attempts will remain 1 and does not increment.
    Microsoft doc about Membership.PasswordAttemptWindow Property says:
    "If the interval between the current failed attempt and the last failed attempt is greater than the
    PasswordAttemptWindow property setting, the current invalid attempt is counted as the first."

  • HT4528 My IPhone Bugged out/It is currently in the reset mode. I need to exchange all of my contacts from my Yahoo acct. to my new IPHONE. Can you please help me?

    Hello ,
    I purchased my IPHONE about 2 months ago. I am visiting family in DE & this tuesday it starting to go off & on by itself. Then the icons looked like they were floating . Then I could not call or text . The SIRI device would not work. Then it would shut down then the apple icon would reappear. I took it to a verizon dealer in Rehoboth DE & they said it BUGGED OUT/It is in a RESTORE MODE. It will not turn on. We could not transfer anny of my pics or contacts. I never even had a chance to back up the memory on ITUNES.
    The tech @ Verizon said to contact APPLE to trouble shoot and try and transfer the contacts from my yahoo acct.
    Can you please help?
    Gina

    set up your yahoo account in mail, contacts, calendars as an Exchange Account and you should be able to get your contacts from Yahoo from there.

  • All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?

    All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?
    With iOS 6, the all day events showed up in the notification centre but it lacks in the upgrade iOS 7.

    Same problem here. Some people pointed out that all-day events do show up in their notification center, but that seems only to be the case for birthdays (and only as text like the weather). I've tried it myself on my iPhone and iPad and it did work for birthdays but not for any other all-day events. I already sent this to Apple as a product feedback as well, as should everyone of you. The more people mention it, the faster Apple's going to fix this issue. In its current state, notification center is not a very helpful feature in my opinion. There's absolutely no point in not showing all-day events in the 'today' calendar overview.
    Here's a link to the product feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    I posted my message in the iPhone section since I couldn't find a page specifically dedicated to iOS 7.
    I really love the look & feel of iOS 7 but it's kinda sad to see notification center not tapping its full potential.
    Cheers!

  • Scrolling bug in mountain lion? - please help

    Really annoying bug that seems to have developed in the last few days - can anyone help?
    when looking at any window with a scroll bar the screen starts to automatically scroll in jerky steps every quarter of a second or so downwards (or upwards if I reverse the swipe direction on the mouse or trackball settings) to the end of the content without any input from me. This makes most programmes almost useless unless I enter tehm without the mouse cursor over the window.
    Same problem using either trackpad or mouse so suspect its a software issue not anything on the peripheral.
    fully updated system, not helped by SMC reboot or "killall Dock" terminal command which I read on another post might be helpful
    anyone with similar problems or who can help me?

    Not a bug, please do a SMC reset again. Follow the directions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    If that doesn't help please reset the PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    Or finally you may have a corrupt cache, restart in Safe Mode http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455

  • My touchpad just randomely stopped working and i dont know why? can someone please help me.

    i was using a plug in mouse and now i cant use my touchpad even when the mouse is unplugged. i have a hp pavillion gseries. can someone please help me, i dont like carrying a mouse around with me everywhere i take my laptop.

    Well, if you updated to 8.2, then you are living in a different world than the rest of us. 8.1 was just released on Monday.
    Do you not have an iCloud or iTunes backup that you can restore to? Have you not been importing your photos to a photo library on your computer?
    Maybe you could start from the beginning and we can see if we can help. If you had to restore your device, and you have absolutely no backups, then, I'm afraid you are out of luck. However, if you have backups, or if you have been importing your photos on a regular basis, then probably most of your stuff can be recovered.
