When typing on my ipad 4, the keyboard randomly disappears!

Okay, when I am typing on my ipad, for example this question, in the middle of me typing a word the keyboard will go back down and my finger will accidentally hit a link or something below the keyboard. Then I have to tap the screen again and resume typing. It will randomly disappear on me and it gets really annoying. Help!

There is a "hide keyboard" icon toward the bottom of the keyboard. Might you be tapping that icon?

It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258824 - How to change your keyboard layout
Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.
* http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306993 - HOW TO: Use the Language Bar in Windows XP
* Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar
* You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar
* Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar
* You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application
* The default key combination to rotate the layout is the Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift combination that Firefox uses for some menu items
* To avoid an unintentional switch, assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift)
* Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages > Text services and input languages > Details > Key Settings > Change Key Sequence

Missing key preview when typing characters in IPad After iOS7 upgrade

How can I enable the key preview when typing characters in Ipad?
After I upgraded my Ipad mini to IOS 7, the preview when hitting keys are not showing anymore.
Its so difficult especially when typing passwords wherein you wouldnt be able to know if you are hitting the right character.

Two things that might help. Reset all your settings and reset the phone. Use the Settings app to reset all settings. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings Then 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 helps.
The update to iOS 7 added several new features and turned them all on. There are numerous suggestions for reducing battery life by turning off unneeded features. Go through Settings and turn off things you do not need or use. Especially look at Notifications, Push notices, Background App Refresh.

When I open my MacBook Air the keyboard comes up along with the screen and does not stay still?!

When I open my MacBook Air the keyboard comes up along with the screen and does not stay still. So I need to hold down the keyboard while i open it. Other than that it works fine despite the fact that the fan noise some times is loud and sometimes it's getting warm at the base. I wonder if this can be fixed if i go to one of the apple branches.

Yes. Take the computer to the Apple store to have it fixed.

How to hide cut/copy/paste/Replace… menu on the UIWebView when it is being displayed over the keyboard.
Detail: I am having a HTML from, having text box, displayed using UIWebView. If user types in text box it shows the keyboard. Now If user tap and hold on text box it shows a popup menu. Now while keyboard and pop up are being displayed user scrolls the view. At this time it shows pop up over the keyboard which I need to hide.
I tried setMenuVisible of UIMenuController when popup rect and keyboard rect intersects each other on viewDidScroll but it didn't help me.
Any clues will help a lot.
Thanks.

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem

Since moving to Maverick and the new updated of Keynote, I have a constant problem when typing in a text box, the program crashes. Is there a bug fix for this. Drives me nuts.

Since moving to Maverick and the new updated of Keynote, I have a constant problem when typing in a text box, the program crashes. Is there a bug fix for this. Drives me nuts. Like many who can type quite quickly but at secretarial level, the text box freezes, nothing works and you know what's coming...crash!
This is most annoying. Is there bug fixes for this. Apparently I have the current updates and this problem still exists. Is it a Maverick bug or Keynote.

How did you install Mavericks, as an update ontop of the previous OS or did you wipe the drive and install clean?

On the devices menu, find the iPad and click the tab that says "TV Shows." Make sure that "Sync TV Shows" is checked and the TV programme that you're trying to sync is also checked. But uncheck "Automatically include _______ episodes of _______" so that you will be able to check individual episodes to sync.

Why dont you take ios 7 and take out a feature so the ipod 4 can have enough space to take it I suggest when you touch your screen and the keyboard appears and make the old way.

We're all users like yourself, if you would like to leave feedback to Apple go to Contact Us at the bottom of this page then go to Feedback and leave your concern. iOS 7 requires 512MB of RAM. Only the iPod 5 has 512MB RAM. The iPod 4 only has 256MB RAM. Hope this helps, Good luck.

When I connect my ipad to the computer and click import photos and videos, the computer says that there are no photos or videos on the ipad it says the file is empty I can't even add anything to the file!!!!!

It looks like the card may be the problem, and your best bet is to try the Card Reader - this will make the card accessible by the Finder and you may be able to drag the pics off to the desktop or, at worst, try recover the pics with an app like MediaRecover

Dreamweaver CC crashes when moving a DIV field with the keyboard arrows.

I'm really fond of the new Dreamweaver CC, but on some occasions, it crashes when moving a DIV field with the keyboard arrows, for example, to move it two or three pixels.
This is happening on a recent pc (i5 / 16Gb ram / Intel SSD / Bootcamped Windows 8 x64)
F12 is also really slow when publishing via Chrome. Firefox or Internet Explorer is faster.
Is there a fix for these issues?
Thanks,
D

Apart from the FluidGrid Layouts feature, DW is not a click and drag app like Photoshop or Muse. You should be using the CSS panels to align elements with floats, margins and padding.
Keep Chrome open and refresh browser (F5).

Try this first.
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 - let go of the buttons.
If that does not help, you may have to restore your iPad.
iTunes: Backing up, updating and restoring iOS software.
If that doesn't work - You will have to use recovery mode
iPad: Unable to update or restore
