Apple Bluetooth Keyboard - Arrow Keys Wouldn't Work ?

Mar 15, 2012

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!

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]

Where Are The Arrow Keys On The Keyboard

Apr 18, 2012

Where do you find the arrow keys (up, down, left, right) on the keyboard? I find it frustrating when working in pages or numbers and I can't move through a body of contents with the arrow keys. I've had my iPad 2 for about 3 months and still don't know where the arrow keys are?

Popup Keyboard Needs An Up And Down Arrow Keys

Jul 29, 2010

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?

System Freezez And Keyboard Arrow Keys Not Working?

May 8, 2010

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?

Why The Arrow Keys (in Particular) Don't Work As Navigation Controls For The Screen

Jul 17, 2011

I bought the Mac bluetooth keyboard to use with my iPad 2 and it's great, but I don't understand why the arrow keys (in particular) don't work as navigation controls for the screen. (In Pages, for example, they do work as you would expect -- you can scroll up/down, left/right, home/end, etc.) But in a typical app screen (email, for example) they are inoperative.

Prior to getting the Mac keyboard I had the Zagg keyboard/dock unit and I believe it DID have those navigation functions, as well as some other dedicated function keys (like the Home button). So I'm just wondering if anyone knows if or when Apple might be making those features available for the bluetooth keyboard, as I imagine there are a lot more of them in use than the Zagg.

Apr 13, 2010

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?

Unable To Type Correct Keys When Keyboard Connect Via Bluetooth

Jul 25, 2010

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.
