Keyboard

[DKM1956]

I have had my iPad 2 since September 2011 and just recently the keyboard is acting sluggish and unresponsive at times any ideas now to resolve? Of course the warranty just ran out or I would go apple directly

Hi DKM..... - welcome to the forum! I have an iPad 2 also and I'm assuming that you are talking about the 'on-screen' keyboard (KB) vs. a BT KB which I also own - correct? If so and if not already done, I would first suggest a 'Restart' and if not effective a 'Reset' of the iPad - now, if you've already done these steps, then please post back for further advice - good luck!

When an app (or several) are misbehaving, I usually go through the following steps:

1. Force Close - open the multi-tasking bar (double tap the 'home buttom' or use multi-gesturing and swipe up); press & hold an app until all begin to 'jiggle'; find the offending app(s) and press the 'red circle w/ minus sign' - return to the home screen & try again.


2. Restart - press & hold the 'Sleep/Awake' (a.k.a. power) button until a red slider appears (may take a few seconds) - move the slider to turn off the iPad; then press & hold the same button until the Apple logo appears - wait for a restart.


3. Reset - press & hold the 'Power' and 'Home' buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears - this may take a longer time, so have patience; the iPad will 're-boot' - NOTE that none of these maneuvers will alter your apps, files, or settings.

Well, good - but let us know if the maneuvers completely corrected your issue? If not, please post back - could be another problem - good luck! Dave
