Why doesn't correct key show up when I finger slide from wrong key?

According to the iPod Touch User Guide for OS 3.1 Software if you touch the wrong key on the keyboard you can slide your finger to the correct key. Yeah, you can do so, but I find that the correct key doesn't appear! What gives? Please advise solution to this problem--a simple one I hope!

Mooblie,
Greetings to the UK! Per my original post I have already done what you suggest. The problem is that in many, if not most, cases, I cannot get the correct key to show up when I slide my finger from the wrong key to the correct key. I am unable to discern why it shows up in some instances but not in others. I am wondering if some sort of “finger finesse” is required. I will appreciate any clues you can cast in my direction.

  • Why doesn't my card reader work when I take it from the camera and put it in the reader? Nothing happens and it doesn't show up in finder.

    When I put my card into the reader, nothing happens. It doesn't show up in finder so I can't dismount it. The pictures on it aren't readeable all of a sudden, except for two of them, and that's all that would download to iphoto, but I had to connect the camera since the card reader doesn't resond.

    Hi bricknut dab,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Are you asking about the SD slot on your Mac, or is this an external card reader plugged into a USB port?  If it is the one on your Mac, the article below may be helpful.  Did you try more than one SD card?  You can use Disc Utility to erase and reformat the card if needed.
    About the SD and SDXC card slot
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3553
    I put the card in the slot, but it did not mount.  What should I do?
    Remove the card and insert it again. Sometimes, if you put the SD card into the slot too slowly, it may not mount properly.
    Can I reformat an SD card with Disk Utility?
    Yes. Using Disk Utility, you can partition and format an SD device as FAT32 (using the MS-DOS FAT setting) or Mac OS Extended. The Mac OS Extended format can only be used on Macintosh systems. Cards formatted to Mac OS Extended will not be recognized by non-Apple systems. Formatting cards larger than 32GB for use with digital cameras, GPS, and other devices may require formatting them with the exFAT file system. When in doubt, format the cards in the device you intend to use with the card.
    Cheers,

  • HT1386 Why doesn't my iphone show up when I plug it into my computer? I do not have a listing for "devices" and thus cannot backup my iphone contacts etc.

    I am trying to backup my iphone contacts through itunes... Oddly, my iphone 4 is not visible under 'Devices' when I plug it into the USB port on the computer. It doesn't seem that I will be able to connect to or access or change anything unless my phone shows up as a Device in Itunes on the left side. Suggestions? I have tried two different ports and neither permits my iphone to show up as a device in itunes.
    Appreciatively,
    Donna

    I will go back to step one on your support link that suggests checking the USB cord. or connectors I use it to charge the phone all the time but the phone does not register as a device in my computer either. I tried all four ports. Thanks. You have me off on a new path... hopefully to find a solution.

  • Why doesn't my image show up when i attach it to an email?

    ok, i have a jpeg i want to email.  i click on attach and the drop down comes up, i navigate to the image i want and highlight.  at this point--always in the past up until last week--a thumbnail of the image shows up in the column to the right of the name of the image, so i can make sure i'm sending the right image.  suddenly, i'm no longer seeing the image to the right. (see attached)
    i fear this may be  more a mac query than a PS one, but you folks are so knowledgable i thought i'd start here.  any thoughts?
    thank you!

    see attached for File Handling settings.  see any problems there?
    thanks for reponding!

  • Some of my contact names are not appearing when they text message me.  They are just showing up as their numbers. I have them saved in my phone so i am not really sure why their names aren't showing up when they message me?

    some of my contact names are not appearing when they text message me.  They are just showing up as their numbers. I have them saved in my phone so i am not really sure why their names aren't showing up when they message me?

    I have this identical problem.  For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad.  Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something.  Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads.  I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time)  Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc.  There still hasn't been a solution.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.

  • Why don't my tags show up when re-saving a document that I previously tagged?

    I love the idea of tags. I use them religiously in Lightroom to organize and recall my photos. The one thing that makes tags ineffective though is the amount of effort it takes to enter them. But being a true believer of the value I do it. That being said, the way Apple has implemented tags is driving me nuts.
    I create a document
    I click save
    I enter a name and
    I enter tags  - BTY I wish I could expand the tagging window to see all the tags I have entered and all the tags that are available
    Later I make changes to my document and I want to add tags so I selected save as
    PROBLEM - All the tags that I previously saved with this document are gone. I have to renter them.  This is horrible!
    Why don't my tags show up when re-saving a document that I previously tagged? Is there anyway to get my Mac to recognize that I previously tagged this file and display my tags?
    If not, APPLE PLEASE FIX SOON.

  • Why doesn't my imac turn on when I turn on Apple TV?

    Why doesn’t my imac turn on when I turn on Apple TV?

    Yes, otherwise some people might have to walk up to the third floor and turn on iMac,
    and then go back down to living room in order to stream form iTunes. My iMac is close,
    but not in same room. There must be something I don't have set up right.

  • Why doesn't Edge Animate show up in my 30 day free Creative Cloud membership apps download page?

    Why doesn't Edge Animate show up in my 30 day free Creative Cloud membership apps download page? I subscribed to the 30 day free Creative Cloud membership just yesterday.
    Please help.

    Could it be that you are running Windows XP?  I believe there is some automatic detection of the operating system you are running, and if it is not supported by the application, it does not show up on the download page.

  • HT4623 Why doesn't my ipad2 show that ios 6 is available for download?

    Why doesn't my ipad2 show that ios 6 is available for download? 5.1.1 is what I have now.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • Why doesn't my apps show up in iTunes?

    Why doesn't my apps show up in iTunes? I'm on iTunes 11.1.2.31 using an iPad mini on the latest IOS 7.0.3. Could it be that I'm on a new computer and have some settings messed up? See enclosed screenshot. It can obviously detect the number of apps (44), but why aren't they listed in the apps section?

    this question is extremely broad. can you describe what you mean? where does the password show up? in the signature line? as the subject? in the body? and what internet password? your home provider? your cell provider? what's the password for? your email account? or is your phone password protected? details.
