Unable To Type Correct Keys When Keyboard Connect Via Bluetooth
just purchased a dock and wifi keyboard for my 64gb ipad today. the apple wifi keyboard didn't give any hassles when connecting via bluetooth but it doesn't type the correct keys. for instance, the q and the a are reversed, and i can't for the life of me get it to enter @, which means this thing is unusable. purchased the ipad, dock, and keyboard from best buy whom i despise and am worried they'll give me a runaround when i attempt to return the keyboard. can't wait for apple to build a store in south bend / mishawaka. Information:
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.6.4) 2.5ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4gb 667mhz DDR2 SDRAM, 500gb 7200rpm hd w/ 16mb cache.

No Auto-correct When Using A Bluetooth Keyboard?
I did a Google search, and a search here first, and it seems like it's true. But a small annoyance, that there is no autocorrect on the iPad when paired with a bluetooth keyboard. Seems silly when this basic functionality has been added to the Mac with OSX Lion. I didn't notice this at first until recently when I started to realize that I still make a few mistakes due to the keyboard on the solar keyboard folio being a little cramped.

Sticky Keys On Bluetooth Keyboard

Apple Bluetooth Keyboard - Arrow Keys Wouldn't Work ?
This may not be the right place for this, but I have really been struggling to find a good keyboard to pair with my first iPad. I have the apple keyboard, and absolutely love it, but when I paired it with my fathers iPad 2, the arrow keys wouldn't work...I did some research, and it seems like thats just reality. Kind of a deal breaker for me, as I was looking to do a lot of typing on the iPad and the arrow keys are pretty essential for that. So, I go ahead and buy the Kensington Apple iPad 2 key folio Pro performance not even thinking the arrow keys would work on that, and they do! [URL] So whats the deal? is it possible to override whatever apple has done to disable the use of the arrow keys on the keyboard they make? If not, has anyone come across a good, portable bluetooth keyboard that they have paired with the iPad? As much as I like the Zaggfolio, I have casing worked out, but this keyboard thing is kind of ridiculous. For example, I found this logitech that says if its for the iPad, but 65 bucks? and who knows if it even has the arrow function I'm looking for...[URL]

Type Id And Have The Correct To Id ?
The iPad seems to think that I probably mean ID when I type those two letters, I always mean it to correct to I'd, half the time when I type the letters ive it corrects to I've, the other half of the time it changes it to vie. Does anyone know of a way to set up conditional corrections? Any other suggestions for specifying the default guess for the same "error"?

Can't Connect My Apple Bluetooth Keyboard
I have an older apple Bluetooth keyboard(the big bulky one with clear plastic body) and I can't seem to get it working with my iPad. I use this keyboard with my imac and it works just fine. When I'm trying to add a bluetooth device my ipad pics up the keyboard but does not connect it. When I click on the keyboard to pair the two it keeps saying paring for some time, and then it says searching for new devices. Also another weird thing is when my wifi is on and I'm trying to pair my keyboard my wifi icon disappears, but if I go into settings it tells me I'm connected to my network.

Connect With Wireless Keyboard Via Bluetooth
i want to connect my iPad ( 16 GB ) with my wireless Keyboard ( White ) via Bluetooth. The Keyboard is ok, it works perfect with the mac. The iPad finds the name of the Keyboard, but will not log with it ( i miss the point: Please enter the code. ) Apple support could not solve the problem, probably they call back in a few days. Has anyone the same problems ? Or does anybody know a solution ? May be, thats a topic for an update, it`s for me not realy dramatic, but a shame. Information: Mac Mini / iPad 16 G Mac OS X (10.6.3) none

Wont Connect Apple Bluetooth Keyboard
Like a lot of international travellers I adopted the iPAD as the perfect travel companion for flights. However on my first outing with the ipad and a bluetooth keyboard I discovered a major bug/flaw. If the keyboard is placed in a briefcase/rucksack with the iPad and the key is depressed (obviously very likely) then it will continually enter an incorrect passcode into the ipad and eventually lock you out. so what ? Well here's where it goes horribly wrong. The iPad then gets disabled and states you must connect the iPad to your iTunes account before it will re-enable .... NOT TRUE. While oversea's I did exactly this and when I borrowed a friends laptop with iTunes on it and connected the iPad nothing happened. I then logged into my account. Nothing. I then googled the problem and it appears this problem is starting to be experienced by a number of travellers. The only way to unlock the iPAD is too re-connect it to your original PC you first connected and updated the ipad on. So for 2 weeks while overseas on business I was locked out. Not only is this a major problem and will start to become more common with travellers BUT what is Apple going to do with those iPAD's that were configured on an instotre copy of iTunes ??? This needs sorting ASAP You should be able to unlock the IPAD with YOUR account logged into iTUNES on any PC/APPLE. Having to wait till you return home from your travels is a major issue. As I said ... I can see this causing more and more problems as and when the iPAD is adopted as a travelling tool. Information: IPAD - UK Other OS iPAD

Can't Connect To Bluetooth / Motorola Wireless Keyboard?
My iPad 1 will not connect to the new motorola bluetooth keyboard. It finds the keyboard, but when I hit pair a pop up box appears and dissapears within a second. It talks about entering a passkey (1875 I think) into the keyboard, but it goes to quick. Then the message that pair was unsuccessful.According to my research, the Keyboard supports HID, and motorola says it should work. 1. Can I manually change the bluetooth password on my iPad? 2. Anyone have any work arounds for this issue? 3. Is there an app that could help me? My iPad 1 is running 4.2.1 and works with other Motorola stereo headsets. S9HD to be specific. I have factory reset the keyboard and still nothing.

Work Of Special Keys Of Keyboard Dock On Normal Keyboard
Does anyone know if the iPad function keys that are special to the iPad on the keyboard dock also work on the normal Apple Wireless Keyboard when pairing with bluetooth. Would the brightness up/down on the wireless keyboard also control the iPad's brightness, just like they do on the iPad keyboard? Would the iPod controls (play/pause, rewind, ff) and volume controls also work on the iPad?

Popup Keyboard Needs An Up And Down Arrow Keys
I just got my iPad and I discovered right off the bat that the popup keyboard needs an up down arrow keys for scrolling. Sometimes when I'm replying to a message in a forum, I need to scroll down to the bottom of the quoted text. But as far as I know the popup keyboard doesn't have an up down arrow keys so it's difficult to scroll. So is there a way to scroll up and down other than with the missing arrow keys?

Invisible Keys On Its Split-Keyboard?
Just saw this on Cult of Mac. I tried it out and sure enough, the split keyboard on iPad iOS5 has invisible keys that you can tap in case you forget where the actual keys are.This is similar to the microphone button on iPhone 4S behaving as a space key if you are typing away and miss the shrunken space key.If you are typing and you tap quickly to the left of H key in split-keyboard, you get the G key. Same thing on the opposite side if you tap to the right of the G key (similar behavior for T/Y keys and V/B keys).This is fairly ingenious and I think Apple should patent this -- I can't imagine many folks thinking of doing stuff like this to best-guess typing on a touchscreen keyboard.

Freedom Pro Keyboard Shows Keys Near The Center Have A Little Sized
I bought this keyboard for when I travel and want to instant message with my wife while in Europe or any extended period where I want type on a real keyboard that clicks. It's small, compact, easy to set up. It takes a little getting used to because of the seam in the middle...the space bar has to be broken up and some of the keys near the center are a little different sized. Since it is really meant for Blackberries and the like and you can't install keyboard drivers on the iPad (that I can figure out anyhow - perhaps someone can help here with a jailbroken iPad), most of the shortcuts do not work. However, the function volume up and down DO work.

System Freezez And Keyboard Arrow Keys Not Working?
I've had my iPad for almost a week now. I'm one that has a connectivity issue. I did the "fixes" but I still lose the connection after turning it on. I just have to reconnect and it usually stays on. Here are my issues with the iPad: 1) l love the keyboard but miss the arrow keys 2) I can't organize my pics into groups as I have a pc and there's no app for the iPad. and there's no identifying info on the pics. 3) I don't really care about the inability to multitask....yet. I haven't had a need to so far. 4) I've had random screen freezes. 5) The touch screen doesn't always work the way I need it to....it will miss when I try to place the cursor. There's a lot I love about the iPad but I'm not sure about keeping it. Thoughts? Information: Dell Windows XP

Onscreen Keyboard Up While Typing For While Image Of Keys Remains Visible
I dont know if this has come up already butI have noticed a disturbing problem with my iPad. After I have had the onscreen keyboard up while typing for a while the image of the keys remains visible as a soft outline on the screen for a while after. I can recreate this problem at will, it is not particularly disruptive and doesn't bother me to much but it is an interesting one to see if it is wide spread.To test try the followingHave the keyboard on the screen for a few minutes then switch to something such as a photo or app with a solid colour background and you will see the outline of the keyboard,I find that dark grey seems to show it up worst the background colour when starting pulse reader shows it up really bad every time I use it, so I suggest a dark grey as an easy test.

Disable/enable Bluetooth Each Time While Connecting Bluetooth Keyboard?
I already have a dock - I'm interested in the bluetooth keyboard, but won't be using it all the time. I'd like to use it sometimes and use the onscreen at other times (on the go or for quick text). To do this, do I need to disable/enable bluetooth each time? Does bluetooth enabled drain the battery faster (and if so, by how much)? If I disable bluetooth and then re-enable it, do I need to re-sync the keyboard or will it remember the settings?
