My keybboard is always in the middle of the screen preventing me to see what I am typing. Is there a reset I need to do or recalibrate

Tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock.
Go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off in order to turn it off completely.

When I type the keyboard is in the way and I cannot see what I am typing. How do I fix this?

I just updated to ios8 on my iPad and the keyboard blocking the text is driving me nuts! You used to be able to scroll the page up which would allow one to see what you were typing. Ugh! Help. splitting the screen is not an option. It used to work fine

My iPad touch keyboard is coming up in the middle of the screen soni can't see what I'm typing?

How do I get a keyboard on iPad to be back at bottom of screen?

Tap the key on the lower right hand corner of the keyboard for about 1 second, you should see a little window with the word, Dock. Tap dock, and the keyboard should drop down to the bottom. This is how it's done on iPad 2, your iPad is probably similar.

This week the keypad "jumped" to the top of the screen so that I often can't see what I'm typing! Not sure why it happened and want to know how to get the keypad back down to where it used to be! Can anyone help?

If the keyboard is split and covering your text, Pull the two ends of the keyboard together - into the middle of the screen. You can also tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock and Merge.
If the keyboard is up on the middle of the screen, but not split, and you want to move it back to the bottom - tap and hold down on the little keyboard and icon and select - Dock
You can turn the split keyboard off in Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off.

When typing on my iPad the screen does not move up so I can see what I am typing.

Under normal operation, when using the virtual keypad, iOS shifts the screen so that it's possible to view what you are typing all the time. On my iPad if the text I am typing is below the keyboard, the screen is not automatically moved up. On some forms for example, where it is not possible to manually shift the screen, it is impossible to see what you are typing. I went to the Genius Bar and they wiped my iPad and reinstalled iOS 6 but I still have the problem. I'm guessing it is being caused by one of my apps but with 174 apps which all reinstall from the cloud it is impossible for me to know which one (and Apple is supposed to have tested all apps anyway). Any suggestions?

So reading related comments and your feedback here helped me identify and fix the issue. Basically by turning off the split keyboard option in settings the problem with not scrolling was corrected. I then tried turning the option back on and it now appears to work fine either docked or split. I'm guessing there is a bugs in iOS whereby the setting for the split keyboard causes it to not scroll the window under specific circumstances (if I had to guess I would say when you switch the split keyboard option on and then don't use the spilt keyboard). And for the record, this problem occurred for all Apple apps as well as 3rd party apps (eg Apple notes). my advice to the "Genius" guys is to do basic stuff like changing the settings first before they resort to wiping and restore.

Has anyone tried emailing after the Yosemite upgrade? The size of the email pane is enormous and cannot be resized so I cannot see what I am typing as it disappears off screen to the right. This must surely be a fault?

The email window pane is huge and disappears off screen and I have not found any way to resize it. This means I cannot see what I am typing as the text disappears to the right off the screen. Only way to see what you are typing is to drag the pane to the left and then back again when the cursor moves to a new line. This surely must be a fault with the new Yosemite OS X?

Thanks, Bee! I never knew that one--it does resize the screen. But, what I want to do is resize it from the corner, or from the side, or from the top. I'd like to move it to another place on the page, if I need to. The bigger problem is that I can no longer click and drag to highlight a word or phrase, etc. Both of these things happened in Office and in Safari after I downloaded Yosemite. I feel sure that it is just some little trick like the one you suggested or some box that I need to tick to get things working like I've always known them to be. Thanks for any help you can give...

Since I upgraded to IOS 8 whenever I use kensignton bluetooth keyboard iin any mail app it scrolls up whenever I type message and I cannot see what I am typing. Is there a fix?

Since IOS8 upgrades I have had problem with my iPad Air whenever i use kensington bluetooth keyboard (an older one) whenever I type in body of mail message. It scrolls up so I cannot see what I am typiing. this is true on comcast connect app as well as mail app in iPad. Problem does not occur when i use keyboard in iPad air screen. First occurred with IOS 8, then disapeared wth later IOS 8 update, but has returned with most recent IOS 8 fix.
I have reset all settings, but problem persists.

I suspect problem is related to older Kensington keypad, however, I did see on a Google discussion group that someone suggested some changing of settings on iPad. Trouble is, I cannot find that group again. Any thoughts?

I noticed that you responded to a very old thread about the split keyboard that I was in a couple of years ago and you asked this question about Skype and the spli keyboard.
I Googled the question and the very first thing that I found form the Skype community was the recommendation to disable the split keyboard or just not use it, like I already stated.

I am leaglley blind I use a 5 inch window at the top of my screen to see what I am typing. This version does not let me see what I am typing because the window drops down about 1 to 2 inches, obscuring what I am typing. Is there a fix for this problem?

If there is no fix for this problem, how do I go back to the previous version?

laderamacguy took a look at it and added a black shape over the tab. he suggested i use a different template next time, such as the black template.

How come I have to highlight Certain screens in order to see whats on it ?

When I reply to a E-mail, lots of times I have to Highlight the section where I am typing in order to see what I am typing. Do you know why this is ???? there is other things that make me to have to highlight , also.

I think you somehow got your default colors set to white-on-white. Could you check here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content
Click the Colors button and check the "Text" color and "Background" color to make sure they have enough contrast.
Note: Even when you do not override page colors, when pages do not specify a particular color, Firefox uses the ones set in this dialog.

My keyboard moved to middle of page and is split. How do I get it back to bottom of page?

Press and hold the 'keyboard' key at the bottom right of the keyboard and then select Dock and Merge from the popup.
If the keyboard becomes split at the bottom of the screen, or if you want to join it when it's undocked, then you can join the two halves together by using a finger on each half to drag them together (similarly you can then use two fingers to re-split the keyboard). If you don't want the option of a split keyboard then you can turn it off via Settings > General > Keyboard > Split Keyboard 'off'

OR use this method
1. Press-hold the Home button (big circle below the screen)and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
2. Continue holding both buttons (Ignore the"Slide to power off") until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart.
3.You may let go when you see the silver Applelogo.

What is the keyboard shortcut to the lock screen?

Hi,
I am a macbook user and I want to know what is the shortcut to the lock screen on mac OS X?
please help!
thank you

YousefTa3lab,
there isn’t a default keyboard shortcut to the lock screen; perhaps a third-party app can provide one. Without a third-party app, you could open the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab, and check the “Require password after sleep or screen saver begins” checkbox. You can then open the Desktop & Screen Saver pane of System Preferences, select the Screen Saver tab, choose a screen saver, then press the Hot Corners… button, and set one or more active screen corners to Start Screen Saver — that will allow you to move your cursor into one of those corners to lock your screen.
