When I disconnect my bluetooth keyboard, Safari and Notes won't open the onscreen keyboard

Hi, on iOS 7 when I've dismissed the onscreen keyboard because I'm using my Bluetooth one, but then disconnect my Bluetooth keyboard, I can't get the on-screen one to pop up again in some applications like Safari and Notes. Other applications such as Mail are unaffected.
I Googled this a lot but mostly what comes up are "x tips and tricks for ios 7" articles which don't have anything to do with the problem. The only relavent result that I found recommended I restart my iPad. OK, so I restart my iPad and now the software keyboard works in Safari... That's ridiculous! I don't even want to use my bluetooth keyboard if I have to restart the iPad every time for when I'm not using it!
This apparently affects all bluetooth keyboard models, I use a Logitech FabricSkin folio, but I also have tried it with my Apple Bluetooth keyboard with the same problems.
Tapping in the text area used to bring the keyboard back up, but no more.
Please tell me there is some alternate solution, or a gesture to bring up the keyboard, or something? This is probably the stupidest thing I've seen in iOS 7.
Thanks

I also have the same problem.  If you turn off Bluetooth, the virtual keyboard won't come back, especially if you're using Bluetooth speakers as well.  Heck, it even rebooted my iPad when I tried this. 
I'm very tempted to dump my iPad + Logitech Keyboard if this doesn't get resolved in a timely manner.

  • Safari and itunes won't open

    I was using my mac 3 days ago and everything was fine, then comcast had a internet problem and I lost service for 3 days now I have internet but safari and itunes won't open the icon bounces once and then nothing. I have removed them from the dock, and removed them from the app folder, I also removed the plist and cache files from the home directory. Using firefox I tried to download new copies of them both and nothing new appears on my desktop. I have run the hardware test utility on my osx discs and everthing checks out ok. I am so frustrated, this is the first real problem with my mac since I got it 2.5 years ago. thanks in advance

    ok here is an update, I repaired permissions in disk utility with my boot disk, then verified the volume and the volume had errors. I tried to repair the volume and disk utility said I had sibling errors and could not repair. I had an appointment with the genius bar and they determined that with the unrepairable errors on the drive an erase and install was necessary, after coming to grips with this reality I decided to backup everything and do the reformat and upgrade to leopard. I can honestly say that the genius bar person was very courteous and professional. They allowed me to stay at the bar while backing up my files onto my lacie external drive and then installed a new copy of leopard from their lacie drive (after I paid for my copy of leopard) which took 20 minutes instead of 2 hours. I am frustrated that I had to do this whole process and the genius bar employee could not tell me why it happened but the system is working great and I am enjoying the new operating system.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

    Hi Hawaiian_Starman,
    Thank you for the suggestion.
    I ran the first aid in the Keychain both for verification and for repair and both immediately returned with "no problems found".
    As for the certificate, according the web administrator nothing had changed for the certificates.
    even on the windows laptop I also get the certificate as being expired, but by simply accepting that I still have access.
    I had a pop up every time that alerted me to the certificate issue, but whether I "continued" or not that still did not matter.
    Yesterday, in an effort to find a solution, I went into the "details" and entered to trust this website.
    Now that certificate issue does not pop up anymore. But I do not know how to reverse that either.
    I have the feeling indeed it has something to do with a certificate, but how is the question.

  • We upgraded or computer from os x to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 now our icons  for safari and mail won't open

    We upgraded or computer from os x to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 now our icons  for safari and mail won't open

    Drag the icons from the Dock, go to the Applications folder and drag Safari and Mail (one at a time) to the Dock. Don't release the mouse button until the adjaxent icons move out of the way for the one you're adding.
    That should compensate for the updates to Mail and Safari introduced with SL.

  • Safari and Firefox won't open served ASP pages - HELP!

    Both Safari and Firefox will not open *.asp web pages automatically. I mean, I know ASP is a Microsoft product, but REALLY. This is ridiculous! ASP is very common on the web. Mac should automatically handle these pages just like any other HTML type of page. But until Apple comes to its senses to make life a little easier for those of us who chose to buy their product and use it in the real world, can somebody please tell me how to configure my Mac to open ASPs automatically? Right now both Safari and Firefox want to download the pages instead of just opening them. And then it asks me what application I want to use to open it. Duh! Obviously I want to open it in Firefox or Safari so I can view the darn thing! Please - I don't need any explanation of what ASP is. I know what it is. Please just tell me how to get my Mac to display the served pages. Thank you!!!!

    This is not a standard problem with Safari/Firefox on the Mac that I can see. For example, when I go to http://www.boursedata.com.au/solutions/default.asp it loads the page normally (note: I have a historical association to that company... I have used it because I know it uses asp!).
    What does it do for you?

  • Lion 10.7.4 -iphoto, safari and mail won't open

    I just bought four iMacs for my school. Two of them won't open the mail, iphoto or safari. I have spent quite a bit of time with the Apple rep, but at this point, he has run out of ideas. I have reinstalled Lion - not a clean install, but hate the thought of the long process that involves. Did a clean install of iphoto, but so far,

    I just moved this post to the Quicktime discussions as I think it's more appropriate there.

  • Safari and Mail won't open in Snow Leopard

    Any else having this VERY frustrating problem of Safari and Mail not opening. I've installed Snow Leopard and downloaded and installed the 10.6.1 update. Then when I try to open Safari, it says, "You can't use this version of the application Safari with this version of Mac OS X. You have Safari 4.0.3." When I try to open Mail, it says the same thing. I downloaded Safari again, and it won't even install it saying, "Safari can't be installed on this disk. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.8 or newer." But I have 10.6.1.
    Help. Anyone? Please?
    Thanks

    HI,
    Try launching Safari and Mail from the Applications folder. If it works, drag the Safari and Mail icons off the Dock. Just drag straight up. They'll go poof.
    With Safari or Mail open, select the icon in the Dock/Keep in Dock.
    If that doesn't help, locate these files.
    com.apple.Mail.plist
    com.appple.Safari/plist
    Drag those files to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

  • I transfered a project from one mac to another and imovie won't open the rcproject on the 2nd computer

    How do I get the new computer to open the transferred project to continue editing?

    The project file is sort of like a text file ( a hexadecimal text file) that provides instructions to how to put the project together. These instructions are run when you SHARE the project using the Share menu.
    The rcproject file does not contain any of your video footage. Those are all in the Event folders. It also does not contain your Photos. Those are in iPhoto, or Aperture, or wherever you keep them.
    A project might say,
    Go get clip A from Event 1 and start at frame 32 and end at frame 500. Then overlay a title on it and crank up a music track that you can find at this path in iTunes. Now go get this other clip....
    That is why project files are very small.
    That is also why it is very important to do all moves within iMovie. If you move an Event folder somewhere using the Finder, the Project file still thinks that all the clips are at the original place, so now they can't find them.
    The best way to move the Event folders is to attach an external drive. The external drive must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). In iMovie, click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK. Now you should see your disk drive listed in the Event Library.
    The most foolproof method is first to hold down the Command key and drag the small icon for your project in the Project Library List to the small icon for the external disk drive in the Project Library List. (Note: A simple drag will COPY. Holding Command down as you drag will MOVE).
    Now, select this project file on your external drive. Now click FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA. Now you can copy over all Event folders referenced in the Project, as well as copies of any music, photos, or other project assets.
    You can plug this drive into the other Mac and edit. Or if you prefer, you can reverse the process by Command Dragging the Project (in iMovie ) to the internal drive, and then selecting it and FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA.

  • Safari and Firefox won't open

    I use Windows XP via Bootcamp on my iMac. I decided to do a disc defragment on the Windows hard drive because I thought it might boost the speed/efficiency. Since doing that, neither of my browsers (Safari & Firefox) will work in the Mac OS (Tiger). However, Explorer still works in Windows XP. The browsers in Tiger seem like they're opening, I get an icon in the dock with a triangle below, but the browser window will not load. I've tried repairing disc permissions. That didn't solve the problem. I think I may have to reinstall the OS, but that means having to purchase either Tiger or Leopard since the new iMacs don't come with the OS disc.
    Advice would be appreciated.

    When you create a NEW admin user account, you are not changing anything about your current user account. Mac OS X is Unix-based, so it is a multi-user system. You can create as many user accounts as you want (within reason). This is useful if more than one person uses the same Mac; each user can have his or her own settings and a private user folder to store personal files. They just log into their account when they are using the Mac.
    Having a "test user" account is also a good way to trouble-shoot because that user will have fresh set of preference setting files. If the problem is in the normally used account, the overall system is probably OK.
    To create a new account, in System Preferences Accounts pane, click on the lock icon (if it is locked ) and authenticate. Then click on the plus sign below the sidebar.
    My computer is an Intel G5 iMac, not a Power PC.
    FYI - A G5 is PowerPC. I know what you are saying, but an Intel Mac is by definition not a "G5."
    I have purchased 2 G5 iMacs within the last 2 years. Neither has come with an installation disc.
    If it's new or a refurb from the Apple Store, it better have come with a Mac OS X installation disc inside the box. If it's used, then it's up to the previous owner to include the disc.

  • Safari and Chrome Won't Open Some Sites?

    Hi Community,
    Have had many Macs, an experienced user and recently came upon an internet problem. Using Chrome 14.0 for many months, and Safari 5.1 for longer, and have recently found (within 2-3 weeks) that internet pages will not load; new sites by Google Searches, and sites I have visited many times before, including the Apple Support site, very ironic, I suppose! I accessed the Apple Community using Chrome, after it would not load in Safari.
    I have emptied the cache, and cleared the cookies, with no impact. Running OSX 10.6.8 on 2.8 GHz iMac, Core i5 with 4 GB RAM. Mac is on a WLAN, which does not drop, ever, with a full fan signal strength visible in the toolbar above.
    Many Thanks! Hope this helps somebody else with the same problem.

    Someone here with a similar problem seems to have fixed it by adding some DNS settings:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15783303#15783303
    To do it:
    System Preferences>Network, click on your WiFi connection on the left then click on the Advanced button, select the DNS tab. Under the panel DNS servers click on the '+' sign and insert the numbers 208.67.220.220 - click the '+' again and insert 208.67.222.222
    Alternatively to the numbers listed you can use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
    Save the settings - hopefully it'll make a difference.

  • Hi, when i save an adobe file it will not let me open the saved file it says (there has been an error" thank you

    There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.
    this is the message that it gives, has anyone got any ideas? please

    pdf should be able to be read from the build in preview application
    and if one is so included and somewhat crazy the acrobat reader app
    if both or any of those applications fail to be able to read your file then I would
    try it in another device/computer
    because if the file is damaged or corrupt then there really is nothing one can do apart from re copy it from the org source where it is not damaged or corrupt
