iOS Help: My keyboard shortcuts aren't syncing after updating to iOS 8

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/ios-help-keyboard-shortcuts-not-syncing-ios-8' title="iOS Help: My keyboard shortcuts aren't syncing after updating to iOS 8"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_blw/public/field/image/2015/02/iphone_6_plus_keyboard_shortcuts_hero.jpg?itok=my8HuBdt' />[/url]</p> <p>This how-to is part of our iOS Help feature, where every week I try and help you fix the problems you're having with your iPhones and iPads. If you have a question or need help with something iOS related that you just can't figure out, I encourage you to drop a question in our iMore forums or email [email]ioshelp@imore.com[/email]!</p> <p>This week's question comes to us from William:</p>
<p>My keyboard shortcuts no longer sync with my iPad.</p> <p>Any ideas how to fix this?</p>
<p>William, you definitely aren't the only person having issues with keyboard shortcuts, particularly after updating to <a href="http://www.imore.com/ios-8" title="iOS 8 news, rumors, speculation">iOS 8[/url]. Whether they're just not syncing or you find them disappearing from a particular device altogether, here are some suggestions on how to get them back in working order again!</p> <!--break--> <h2>1. Turn off predictive text</h2> <p>Some folks have had luck simply turning off the predictive text feature in the Settings app. It's more of a workaround than an actual solution, but it's the easiest one to rule out first. To turn off predictive text, just follow these steps:</p> <ol><li>Launch the <strong>Settings app</strong>. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>General</strong>. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>Keyboards</strong>. </li> <li>Turn <strong>Off</strong> the option for <strong>Predictive</strong>. </li> <li>Reboot your iPhone or iPad and try using keyboard shortcuts again. </li> </ol><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/ios-help-keyboard-shortcuts-not-syncing-ios-8' title="iOS Help: My keyboard shortcuts aren't syncing after updating to iOS 8"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2015/02/disable_predictive_text_ios_8_howto.jpg?itok=kZI61fg8' />[/url]</p> <p>If keyboard shortcuts are back to normal, you're good to go. If not, continue on.</p> <h2>2. Toggle Documents &amp; Data on and off</h2> <p>If you don't have iCloud Drive turned on and you're not on iOS 8.1 or above, you will still see a Documents &amp; Data option under iCloud. If you are on iOS 8.1 or newer, you will not see Documents &amp; Data, so skip to step 3 now.</p> <ol><li>Launch the <strong>Settings app</strong> on your iPhone or iPad. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>iCloud</strong>. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>Documents &amp; Data</strong>. </li> <li>Turn <strong>Off</strong> the option for <strong>Documents &amp; Data</strong>. </li> <li>Reboot your iPhone or iPad and turn the option back <strong>On</strong>. </li> <li>Test to see if your keyboard shortcuts are now working. </li> </ol><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/ios-help-keyboard-shortcuts-not-syncing-ios-8' title="iOS Help: My keyboard shortcuts aren't syncing after updating to iOS 8"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/documents_data_iphone_enable_updated_howto.jpg?itok=tGuCBvIp' />[/url]</p> <h2>3. Toggle iCloud Drive on and off</h2> <p>If you are using iCloud Drive already, complete this step.</p> <ol><li>Launch the <strong>Settings app</strong> on your iPhone or iPad. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>iCloud</strong>. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>iCloud Drive</strong>. </li> <li>Turn iCloud Drive <strong>Off</strong>. </li> <li>Reboot your iPhone. </li> <li>Turn iCloud Drive back <strong>On</strong> and test keyboard shortcuts. </li> </ol><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/ios-help-keyboard-shortcuts-not-syncing-ios-8' title="iOS Help: My keyboard shortcuts aren't syncing after updating to iOS 8"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2015/02/disable_icloud_drive_ios_8_howto.jpg?itok=jy6jDXrU' />[/url]</p> <p>If they still aren't working, continue on.</p> <h2>4. Sign in and out of iCloud</h2> <p>A last resort is to completely sign in and out of iCloud. You'll want to do this on all devices linked to your iCloud account, one at a time.</p> <ol><li>Launch the <strong>Settings app</strong>. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>iCloud</strong>. </li> <li>Scroll all the way to the bottom and tap <strong>Sign Out</strong>.</li> <li>Tap <strong>Sign Out</strong> in the popup menu. </li> <li>Tap *Delete from My iPhone** in the second popup menu. </li> <li>Type in your <strong>password</strong> to disable <strong>Find My iPhone</strong> if you're prompted and tap <strong>Turn Off</strong>. </li> <li>Once you are signed out of iCloud, <strong>reboot your iPhone or iPad</strong> by holding down the <strong>power and Home button</strong> until you see the <strong>Apple logo</strong>. </li> <li>Sign back into <strong>iCloud</strong> in the <strong>Settings app</strong>. </li> </ol><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/ios-help-keyboard-shortcuts-not-syncing-ios-8' title="iOS Help: My keyboard shortcuts aren't syncing after updating to iOS 8"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2015/01/icloud_signout_howto_1.jpg?itok=mSVJgf55' />[/url]<a href='http://www.imore.com/ios-help-keyboard-shortcuts-not-syncing-ios-8' title="iOS Help: My keyboard shortcuts aren't syncing after updating to iOS 8"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2015/01/icloud_signout_howto_2.jpg?itok=v8uNIFm3' />[/url]</p> <h2>What worked for you?</h2> <p>We hope one of these suggestions gets your keyboard shortcuts working again William. And for anyone else out there having issues with keyboard shortcuts, give these a try and let us know in the comments what worked for you!</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-29782"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/4314a070/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
