Undo typing

Does anyone know why I randomly get a undo typing popup on my iPad mini? It is usually only when I use safari or when I set my device down. I don't move my device it any way that would change the rotation or it will even popup when I have rotation locked. Or is this just something I am stuck with until they decide to fix it if at all.

There is a "shake to undo" feature. On my iPhone before iOS 8 I had to give it a fairly good shake to trigger it. Since iOS 8 I have to shake it much harder. On yours I'm wondering if there may be something wrong with the accelerometer that detects the shake. Unfortunately I don't believe there is a setting where you can turn it off completely.

  • Undo typing box pops up

    up ever since upgrading to 8.0, I've had the "undo typing" box pop up on occasion. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it pops up constantly when I'm trying to type! It's **** annoying!!!

    Is someone ever going to address this issue?
    Attached is a jpeg of the box that pops up when I conduct search, I now notice it is when I am searching again after an initial search has already been conducted, and I am changing the terms. The page greys out and I get the pop up box below.

  • How to undo typing errors on an iPad?

    How do I undo typing errors on my iPad without deleting backwards through several words?
    Jean

    Manipulating and editing text ....
    Hold down on the area that you want to select until a blue line appears. Tap on it again and another pop up appears with the options to select, select all or paste. If you select all, all of the copy on the page or within the text block in which it was created will be highlighted in blue. An option to cut, copy or place appears. Two blue vertical lines will be on both ends of the text block. You can select the blue dot on one of those lines and drag it to select exactly the text that you want to manipulate.
    If you choose select - then blue lines will be on either side of that word only. You get the cut, copy, paste or replace options. You can once again drag the lines with the blue dots to select text. If you drag the line to select more text, you get the cut, copy or paste options.
    Cut is self explanatory, copy will put that text in the invisible iPad clipboard and you can select another area in your document in which to paste that copy or you can paste into any other document or field that will accept text.  Replace is when the iPad will auto correct a word from it's dictionary if the word you have typed does not "make sense" to the iPad.

  • Undo typing keeps reappearing/ upside down orientation for games and camera iphone 5

    Hello these are the following issues I keep experiencing with my iphone 5:
    1) Camera elements/options all upside down and do not change when tilting screen
    2) Games are played upside down
    3) Orientation of screen does not change to landscape when tilting
    4) message 'undo typing' constantly comes on when typing in any app
    Please keep in mind I have taken orientation lock off
    please help!!

    I never dropped mine either and its relatively new as well. I am going to to the apple store tomorrow to see what they can do. I heard from someone else it may be an internal hardware problem.

  • Ipad error "undo typing" keeps coming up

    My Ipad keeps giving me the following error: " undo typing / cancel", not all e time, no app in particular. Any suggestions?

    That occurs when you are typing in a text field and if you shake the iPad. It's normal behavior. it really takes a pretty good shake though for it to pop up, at least on my iPad it does. If you think it is happening too frequently, reboot your iPad and see if that helps.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • The undo typing pop-up

    The undo typing pop up keeps flashing. I am not shaking the phone and it is happening after every letter. Anyone know how to fix this? at this point the phone is unusable.

    Perhaps with your particular iPad, but it's not a common problem.  What troubleshooting steps have you tried?

  • "undo typing/cancel" error

    While watching a video on Youtube the screen went to a blank, grey screen with the back/play/forward control and an error messagebox containing two rows: the top read "undo typing", the bottom "cancel". All other functions appear to be working fine except the browser - it locks on this screen. I touch the error box and nothing happens.
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Have you tried basics from the manual?
    Restart?
    Reset?
    Restore?

  • Repeated Undo Typing or Cancel Message

    Anyone else getting this problem? Seems to happen mostly in mail, when typing a message but I do also get it in Safari. Happens repeatedly. I can click on cancel and often (but not always) the message will pop up again within seconds.
    Another of the many annoying problems since the OS upgrade.

  • Please let us turn off shake to undo "feature"

    Dear Apple,
    Please let us have the ability to turn off shake to undo feature on the iPhone. It is a cute feature that never gets implemented when I intend Rather, it is more of a hindrance to have to tap to get past the "Nothing to Undo" or "Undo Typing?" dialog.
    Apparently, I am to shaky to type, but have enough motor control to play games and use other motion-controlled apps just fine.
    Again, please let us turn off Shake to Undo on the iPhone.
    Thanks

    this is a VERY annoying part of my phone (outside of the dropped calls). it happens to me about 10 times per day. i am typing a sms, and go to put my phone down, and the 'nothing to undo' comes up!!! very annoying and i dont know why there isnt a disable for this in the setting.
    this is elememtary and they should fix it. and for those it doesnt happen to...
    feel grateful that you have more grace than me and the tons of other people online complaining about this.

  • Bug with typing in landscape mode

    It does not happen every time, but on occasion when a popup for "Undo Typing" or "Choose a Wifi Network" shows up while typing, the popup window is under the keyboard. The keyboard is disabled while the popup is there, so the hide keyboard button does not work. The visible buttons on the popup are usable, but are rarely what I want to select. I can just use the home button, but in Safari this usually means I lose whatever I was typing at the time. It doesn't sound like much of a bug, but it is very annoying. I have turned off "Ask to Join Networks", but I can't find a way to turn off "Undo Typing". Is there a way to turn off this feature? If there isn't I would like to request this option.

    Undo typing is showing up because you jolted or shook the iPad. That's the undo command in iPhone os.
    The choose wifi network might be because you don't have the iPad set up to automatically join known networks. If not on, it will always ask you if you want to join them.
    It has nothing to do with the orientation of the iPad, that is just coincidence.

  • FM8 Quotes/apostrophes revisited

    I cannot use the '/" key with Smart Quotes on. I'm running FM 8.03 as part of the Tech Comm Suite under XP SP2. My maker.ini file reads <br /><br />; English curved quotes:<br />SmartQuotes=\xd4\xd5\xd2\xd3<br /><br />The version in Docs & Settings has no such section. <br /><br />Turning Smart Quotes off provides a partial resolution, as the "/' key works and I can use keyboard "shortcuts" to input the smart versions. <br /><br />These are the related cmds.cfg settings:<br /><br /><Command CharLeftDblQuote<br />     <Label Left Double Quote><br />     <Definition \xd2>><br /><br /><Command CharRightDblQuote<br />     <Label Right Double Quote><br />     <Definition \xd3>><br /><br /><Command SmartSingleQuote<br />     <ReservedLabel Long Smart Single Quote><br />     <ReservedLabel Undo Typing><br />     <KeySequence    '><br />     <Definition \x400>><br />     <br /><Command SmartDoubleQuote<br />     <Label Smart Double Quote><br />     <KeySequence    "><br />     <Definition \x401>><br /><br />What would happen if I deleted the .cache file?

    What's worse: I just did a global find and replace, trying to fix four dumb quotes in an entire document that I'd cut and pasted--and Pages turned every single smart quote into a dumb quote. In all 92 pages. 1,600 smart quotes dumbified. With no way for me to smarten them up again.
    Then, because I'm just as dumb as my quotes, I did the same thing with my single quotes/apostrophes.
    I know how I'll be spending my afternoon.

  • What's wrong with my iPod Touch 4?

    Okay, so something's wrong with my iPod. I had other two issues, well, I still have, that led to this problem. My iPod wont turn sideways, even though the Portrait orientation isn't on, and an "Undo Typing" popup keeps appearing on my screen even though I'm not shaking the iPod.
    It would be nice if I got help with that, too?
    But, the main problem is this: While trying to fix those two problems, I "Reset All Settings" in hopes that it'll get fixed. Unfortunately, I just ended up with another problem. After I re-entered the password to the wifi, I went to Skype. I called my best friend, and after about a minute, the wifi left, causing the call to drop. After a few seconds of the call dropping, I decided to call back, thinking it was a one-time thing. Again, the wifi left and the call dropped. It's not only happening with Skype, either. It's happening with wifi-using apps, FaceTime, and Safari. The wifi leaves and comes back. Is there any way to fix this?

    Not looking good. You may have a hardware problem
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How do you unlock a pages document?  nothing I see on the forums duplicates my situation.

    how do you unlock a document in pages that doesn't say "locked" at the top of the page??? 

    Thanks for answering me!  You might not be reading my question correctly because I think I am confused.  So now I have a couple questions.  I have never used the the Document Inspector to lock a file so that is not the issue.  It has not asked for a password either. 
    When you said a document will be locked after a period of time I have experienced that but usually it drops a box down asking if you want to unlock it.  When you said, "as determined by my System Preferences" I dont' see anything in system preferences about documents.....what am I missing here??  I am using Lion 10.7.4.  So I would like to know the answer to that. I am wondering if you meant it can be set to lock or not lock???
    That said.....in the meantime I had done a duplicate and then made it a template just to see if I could accomplish what I was trying to do and that didn't work either.  SOooooooo let me ask you this.....what I did was take a bunch of clip art off the internet and put it all on one document page in Pages.  I named it "tropical clip art."  When I open that document I can not drag and drop any of the clip art anywhere.  Not to my desktop, not to another document etc.  That is what made me think it was locked.  The document name is at the top and it has "edit" greyed out next to the name.  What the heck am I doing wrong?  I am fairly new to Pages altho been an Apple user for awhile.  I have always fuddled my way through using Pages.  If I can not put the clip art on a document to save it all in one place, what is my other option?  I was trying to avoid going back onto the internet repeatedly to get clip art I want to use over and over.  It is free clip art.  If I go to the internet I can drag and drop it anywhere.
    When I try to drag and drop it off the Pages document it disappears and I have to go to "undo typing" under edit to get it back.  Am I making any sense??
    And this is my very first time on these forums too so that took me a bit to figure out.
    Thanks so much!!!!!

  • Objects behind keyboard

    I been having Pproblems while in the text screen if a notification or the undo typing box appears its shows behind the keyboard to where I can neither allow nor cancel the action. I been having to press the lock button then unlocking the screen and reaccessing the message to continue because the key board will not function can this be fixed?

    I think you're approach is a little bassackwards.  You cannot use Flash as a background element.  Moreover, Flash content always rises to the top.
    The image you posted looks more like a Flash Player Skin than a suitable web page background. A common mistake among new web designers is trying to "fit" content precisely over a large, background image or photograph. This seldom works as planned because building for the web is nothing like designing for print. Owing to different browsers, user settings, text and display sizes which you cannot control, the web is an inherently flexible medium. No matter how hard you try, you cannot precisely position content over a big image and expect it to stick.
    You would need to slice the image in Photoshop or Fireworks first then reassemble the pieces in your CSS or html table cells.  To give you an idea of what I mean, have a look at this basic tutorial.

  • When I accidentally delete something I'm writing (say, in an email), is there a way to recover it on the iPad one?

    When I accidentally delete something I'm writing (say, in an email), is there a way to recover it on the iPad one?

    If you catch it right away - and I mean right away - there is an Undo bottom on the keyboard. If you tap the ?123 button in the lower left corner, that will bring up the Undo button. Try that next time.
    That has worked for me from time to time. And yes, shaking the iPad will bring up an Undo Typing box as well.
