Apple's communities doesn't work on my iPad

Are you signed in to your Apple ID within the Support Communities *on the iPad*? This is required to post any questions. Even though you're signed in on the PC/Mac, you still need to sign in on the iPad as well.

IT would really help if you explain what is happening. It's very difficult to tell you why something doesn't work, if we don't know what you are doing to begin with.

my typing doesn't show up in the large space provided. It remains blank even though the cursor moves.

Thanks for clarifying the issue...

Strange. The first thing to try with odd issues like this is a device reset. You should also shut down Safari before the reset.

Shut down Safari from Multitasking

1. Press the Home button two times quickly. You'll see small previews of your recently used apps.
2. Swipe left to find the app you want to close.
3. Swipe up on the app's preview to close it.

Reset the device (you will lose NO data or settings)

Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)

1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.

2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.

3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Open Safari and try again.

There are so many quirky issues when you use an iPad here in the ASC. Sometimes, if you simply dismiss the keyboard and then invoke it again and start typing again, the type will appear in the text fields.

And continuing along the lines of Demo's comment, if you finally do see the text you're typing on the iPad, also beware of double capitals when beginning a paragraph. The first letter is capital as it should be but the second letter typed will also be a capital. You can move the cursor back to replace the second capital with a small letter but many don't and that's fine since it's just another forum quirk as Demo mentioned above.

There are more but we can leave you to find these on your own...that's part of the fun we have here! 😝 (Note that I seldom post using the iPad)

YYou call this fun? NNotice my double caps - twice!

For a second there, I thought you were angry or suddenly developed a stutter. 😁
