What is wrong with ipad keyboard?

it used to work normally but now when i want to capitalize a letter, or use a question mark/exclamation mark, the "shift" button is ****** up.  so for example if i want a capital o, when i hold the shift and hit o, it doesnt type an o and instead gives me the options for the extra characters that appear when you hold the o down for a couple seconds o.   this is very annoying when typing multiple capital letters for symbols.  heres what it looks like when i hold the shift(up arrow) and hit the exclamation mark multiple times for many exclamation marks: !,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,    so if i want multiple ! i have to do it manually each time.  i have no idea how this happened but it started recently and its incredibly annoying. 

I hate to argue with my esteemed colleagues, but I can hold down on the shift key and repeatedly type the exclamation mark or any other capital letter on the keyboard just as you said that you used to be able to do. I can still do it on my iPad.
!!!!!!???????MMMM... I have never had a problem doing that, just like you described.
You could try resetting all settings. Sometimes that fixes keyboard issues. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
You could try resetting the keyboard dictionary. That should not be a factor at all, but it might not hurt to try. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Keyboard Dictionary.
If you reset all settings, you will have to enter all device settings again. If you reset the keyboard dictionary, all of the words that you "taught" the keyboard will have to be taught to the device again.

  • What's wrong with iPad if I can't turn it on

    I CHARGED MY BLUETOOTH KEYBOARD AND NOW THE IPAD WON'T TURN ON; HOW CAN I GET IT TO TURN BACK ON?

    Try this  - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • I don't know what's wrong with iPad

    My ipad is going crazy. It's been typing on it's own, zooming and opening pages. Battery drains when I try to charge. I see many people have this same problem. Can't use ipad at all.
    Please help

    Take it to a Apple Store genius bar and if they find a hardware issue that is not fixable they will exchange for an out of warranty unit identical model
    for
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad, iPad 2,
    iPad mini Retina
    $249
    iPad 3rd, 4th generation,
    iPad Air
    $299
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
    Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPad is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. Replacement iPads have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare product coverage, whichever is longer. Please see theAppleCare+ for iPad and Apple Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
    iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
    Replace the jack yourself

    Hey aries35,
    I found the following that goes over troubleshooting the same issue for the iPhone. I know you have an iPad, but the steps should still apply:
    Perform the following steps:
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

    PLEASE HELP. It would be a Big Help

    That's unfortunate, because it would appear that the cable is pretty much toast. If it wasn't before, it pretty much is now that you've cracked it open.
    Either borrow one, or bite the bullet and buy one locally. You're not getting anywhere with that one.

  • What's wrong with the "guided tours"?  They won't work on my computer OR my ipad??

    What's wrong with Apple's "guided tours"?  They won't work on my computer OR my ipad???

    The videos all work fine for me. The functioning and performance of these videos have nothing to do with Adobe.
    When problems with video appear they often are related to temporary Internet slowdowns or just poor Internet bandwidth.

    I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

  • My 2nd mini iPad in a year and same problem happened,it stopped working. what's wrong with mini iPads?!

    I got a replacement to my daughter’s iPad mini in September b/c her 1st one stopped working and now it happened again. I took it to the Apple store and  i was told that there's  nothing they can do. What's wrong with the iPad minis?

    I have an iPad mini and it works great, so do many other people.
    Is it possible your daughter abused the device?   If it gets dropped, even in a damage proof case, it is a shock to the iPad.   Most survive, but if it happens often, it might be a problem.
    Charging often, not completely, leaving in charger while in use a lot?
    Leaving the iPad in a hot car, or freezing the iPad?

    You need to re install OSX. If you have the dmg file downloaded via torrentz this is how you can create a bootable external HD or Flash drive (8 GB+)
