            Hi, again, @Kitty Galore!   You're welcome.   If you've been dealing with this since May 2016, you are a very patient person -- more so than I am. 😉  My hat's off to you, my friend!   If you haven't cleared cookies, website data, since the site fixed their software problem 'way back then...  that could be the problem.   If you close the app running in background, clear everything in Safari, and still have the problem, let us know.   Sometimes even using an old bookmark to access a site will cause problems, and deleting the old one and going directly to a site will straighten things out.   Fingers crossed that you can find the fix -- not being able to edit is no fun, for sure.

 


@dooBdoo.  Thank you for taking the time to help and to explain how I may fix my problem.    I am going to work on it today,  kind of leery going in and changing all the data and clearing ,  but in the end hopefully I will hsve fixed the problem once and for all.  Very frustrating, and as you wrote.....no funCat Sad   Thank again!


 

            Hi, again, @Kitty Galore!    You're welcome.    I clear all history, website data, cookies, cache at least once a day.    It won't cause harm and it's a very good method of avoiding or fixing problems.   Best of luck, and give a hollar if you need something -- there always are helpful posters here to provide assistance.image.gif

 

 

 


Maybe it would help to keep some notes of just what you have done or changed today, @Kitty Galore, while you are fixing the problem.  Good luck!

Re: Can't go in and correct typos on ipad

Just want to mention in addition to what doobedoo said to do, sometimes turning off completely your IPad (not letting it go into hibernation) and restarting it again, stops wonky things like this from happening.
