View 1 RepliesI am often using the Apple bluetooth keyboard to work on my iPad, but I realized that when bluetooth is on I have no way to get my iPad on screen keyboard to reappear. I was wondering if anyone knew how to do this without having to disconnect bluetooth each time.
View 4 RepliesIs there a way to tell the iPad to bring up the onscreen keyboard? The wireless keyboard connects and the onscreen keyboard disappears. I found that I can press the CD Eject button on the wireless keyboard to bring up the onscreen keyboard. What if the wireless keyboard isn't handy? Isn't there some way to bring up the onscreen keyboard from the iPad itself?
View 4 RepliesThere doesn't seem to be any way to get an on-screen keyboard when the iPad is still connected to a wireless keyboard that may be in the next room. All I see is that I could un-pair the keyboard, and I guess I could pull the batteries out of the keyboard, but there's no way to force the keyboard off otherwise.
View 2 RepliesQuick question for those of you that use your iPad in meetings to take notes. Do you use the onscreen keyboard or BT keyboard or the dock? Not that it's an issue but everytime I pull my ipad our I get bombarded with questions!!

On the 'full site' I can't type a new email or reply, etc, as there is no keyboard onscreen - only able to type in the "To" and "Subject" fields...anyone else? (mobile site is fine - but not to my liking)
View 1 RepliesI have a simple request for the iPad's onscreen keyboard. Given the size of the screen in comparison to the iPhone, it seems a bit ridiculous to me that the keyboard doesn't contain the number keys at the top of the keyboard and that you are required to go to another page to select numbers. If people are concerned with taking up more room on the screen (I really doubt this would be an issue, especially when measured against the benefits), Apple could instead offer it as a keyboard option just like they offer a few different versions now. Anyone have any thoughts? If others agree, is there a way to communicate this to Apple?

View 1 RepliesWhen I am using the onscreen keyboard on my iPad2, the input is sometimes getting duplicated (for example: if I press the letter 'N', instead of showing up once on the screen, it shows up as NNNNN). This is not limited to any single key. The only way to resolve this is to restart the iPad. I have reset and re-installed iOS 5.1.1 but hasn't helped. Any recommendations of what to do or should I be looking to schedule a Genius bar

I have an ipad 4th gen. There supossed to be a little microphone icon on my onscreen keyboard, between the " .?123 " key and the Space key. This is so I can talk instead of type whenever I am using this keyboard. while on the internet.
Not there.
(when I open the Chrome browswer on the Ipad, there is a little microphone on the search bar... and it works... .... so I know this device is capable of voice to text pretty accurately (with internet connection).
Is there a way I can get the microphone on the onscreen keyboard since this is the main onscreen keyboard which opens for almost all the apps.
Please let me know the procedure to fix the issue of onscreen keyboard not appearing as expected in my iPad device.
View 1 RepliesThe onscreen keyboard on my iPad Air (ios 7.1.2) disappears abruptly while typing in a text field. Each time I was typing in the Spot Light search field (or any text field for that matter) I took great care not to tap the area on my screen other than the keyboard just to be sure the keyboard doesn't disappear on its own. I've also tried the hard reset by pressing down the power and the home button simultaneously. These fixes were only temporary and the issue in question has been coming back rather intermittently. It is very annoying to keep swiping down to open the spotlight search field each time the keyboard vanishes for no apparent reason.
