  • Keyboard settings not working not not in IOS 10

    Hey people,

    I have correct automatic and auto-capitaliser as well as disabled predictive typing in my keyboard settings, but since I have installed iOS 10, they are all functional, despite being off. It drives me crazy. Help?

    Greetings, bettina77!

    It seems that some of your settings on your iPhone keyboard 6 work even if they are extinct since the upgrade to iOS 10. That could drive me to distraction as well then I'll be happy to help you with this.

    How to backup your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch – whenever from the troubleshooting procedures, I always recommend backup. It is always preferable to 'having' a 'need' to a backup.

    1. assistance with the keyboard on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - go to settings > general > keyboard and turn one of these features, count to five, and then turn off and test.

    2. restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - never underestimate the power of a good restart!

    3. reset the iPhone settings - go to settings > general > reset > reset all settings. This puts all the settings on your iPhone back to factory default. Check your keyboard settings once your iPhone restarts and test again.

    If you have not backed up your iPhone at this point, I strongly advise to do so now that the next steps will erase your iPhone completely.

    4. use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - you will need to use iTunes on a computer to completely erase your iPhone, you can install a new copy.

    First, select "set up as a new iPhone. You can skip connecting to iTunes and App Store and iCloud for now, if you wish. Check your keyboard and test settings. If the problem is resolved, continue to the next step.

    5. restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch from a backup - follow the steps here to restore your information to your iPhone.

    See you soon!

  • Problems with the Smart keyboard (iPad 9.7 Pro)

    I recently bought the iPad Pro 9.7 inches, gray space, Wifi, 128 GB. IOS 9.3.1 of the operating system.

    A few questions that I met in my four days of using the iPad with the Smart keyboard:

    NOTE: the following problems persist despite a technical support call which lasted, I did 2 hours and 30 minutes. I had to restore my iPad settings by connecting to iTunes via my PC to reinstall the last iOS.

    (i) switching applications: if I want to pass, say, from safari to adobe, it is quite easy to do with the keyboard. However, there is an intermittent problem when the apps. When I try to open Adobe when I use safari, the screen of the iPad shows apps that are open as soon as I press the command and tab key.

    What is supposed to happen - I choose to open Adobe, Adobe opens.

    What happens to the contrary - Adobe does not open. Another "X" application that is currently running, opens. It is quite frustrating, because there is no pattern to this. If I use once more the keyboard shortcut to open Adobe, another application 'Y' which is running, open it now.

    In this case, I pointed out, often when the App Store is running.

    (II) command key: sometimes, shortly after I use the shortcut keys to turn on screen shortcut area (pop-up shortcut) - apps, this is supposed to happen if and only if you press and hold down the command key.

    This often happens when I switch to Safari.

    (III) keyboard not responding: a problem that I met today for the first time. My keyboard will not just respond. I had to disconnect and reconnect the keyboard for this function.

    (IV) on which the space key: to wake up the iPad, pressing the SPACEBAR is enough. You don't have to press the home button. Yet, sometimes the space key does not respond and you must use the home button.

    v) Quick app - keyboard shortcut crash switch function causes: if I want to switch from app to app 'X' 'Y', but mistakenly switch to 'Z' app, I immediately want to spend to 'Y '. However, I can't do this in quick succession. I have to wait a second or two before I can switch from 'Y' 'Z' app, otherwise the automatic switching app crashes and you have to wait once more for a second or two before moving on.

    My diagnosis:

    (I) it could be a problem with the smart connector on my iPad. A hardware problem. But it does not explain why the automatic switching app appears and passes correctly but eventually open the wrong applications. Also, it does not explain why the problem is intermittent.

    (II) a software problem. However, that would make me a face 5 questions at once. Sort of. I was surprised that, apart from the question of #3 and #4, there was almost no mention of other issues.

    To restart the iPad or to disconnect and reconnect the keyboard. But I don't think that anyone would be willing to do this 4 - 5 times on a daily basis.

    Update:

    So I used my keyboard all day yesterday without opening the App Store. And guess what? It has been working perfectly. All the above problems I mentioned were not available yesterday. I'll use the App Store today and let it run in the background to see how does my iPad.

  • The Smart Keyboard Pro IPad in Arabic (PC)

    I bought the smart keyboard for my iPad pro

    Although he supports Arab but with orders to the letter of the Arabic original Mac which I do not remember

    In setting/general/keyboard / / Arabic language, there is an option to change the order form of the letter keyboard "Arab" to "Arab (pc)" I'm accustomed to the virtual keyboard of the iPad, but it does not apply on the smart keyboard! Orders of the letter remains the same, whether in 'Arab' or 'Arab Pc' order of the letters.

    Please do me a favor and help me with an answer.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hello @peace4q1,

    Welcome to the Support Forum community!

    I read all your posts on the Forums of HP Support and wanted soft hand to help you!

    I understand that you are having problems with the audio software / settings lost in your Pavilion dv7 notebook

    When was the software last job right for you? What led you to reinstall? When you have reinstalled the software did you use the Recovery Manager?

    First of all, you want to make sure that all your drivers for your laptop are up to date.

    I found this document has enough detailed troubleshooting for various problems of driver or audio software.

    Please get back to me how that happens. To show that you like, or are grateful for my post, kindly click the thumbs upwards below.

  • NB100: keyboard problem internal after changing the language on the external keyboard

    Hello

    I bought a brand new Toshiba NB100.
    Due to the size of the keybord th (and the odd choice of colored letters grey on the keyboard), I bought an external keyboard as well.
    My settings of language is Norwegian, but the external keyboard is US.
    So I did it in Norwegian.

    The problem is that now, whenever I'm not using the external keyboard, the integrated keyboard is foreign to any language and has 'invented' his own which means I have to press the Fn key in order to access the normal letters and the number zero.

    I tried to remove the keyboard drivers and retart in the hope to return to the original values, but anything will do.

    Hope someone can help me.

    I'm not sure, but have you tried turning on FN + F11 / turn off?

    Or maybe Control Panel > regional and language options > tab regional options or languages?

    Try different settings.
