  • I use an Apple bluetooth keyboard with my iPad. In messages I can't find a way to "send" a message without tapping on Send on the iPad's screen. I've tried every key and key combo that I can think of. Am I missing something?

    I already have multiple devices and by far I like my iPad the most over laptops and the iPad. That including checking out my friends MacBook Air.
    The difference for me is the touch interface on the screen itself for things that do not require a lot of typing. For me, the iPad is more "magical" than anything else I've used.
    Again, I do appreciate your answers but you don't know my situation. Not everything is as it is perceived without knowing me and what I have to go through.

  • HT201178 Is it possible to use an Apple wireless keyboard with a MacBook Pro? Sounds odd, I know, but I much prefer typing on a wireless keyboard.

    With a MacBook Pro..is it possible to use an Apple wireless keyboard instead of the keyboard built into the MacBook Pro? I much prefer typing on the wireless keyboard. Thanks

    Hello:
    If the Macbook Pro has Bluetooth built-in, the answer is yes.

  • Using an Apple Wireless Keyboard with a Windows PC

    Hey,
    I know that this has been posted up before but i have read through the threads and followed the various instructions and i am still not getting any results.
    I am using a Belkin USB Bluetooth device (Model F8T013) and when it all seems like it's going to work until i get to the "Bluetooth pair procedure" where it tells me to "Type the following digits and press the Enter key" but doesn't show any digits or allow me to type anything in the box anyway.
    The keyboard is one of the new aluminum wireless keyboards and the PC i am trying to connect to is of a high spec and is running Windows XP.
    If anyone could give me any help on this one, it would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Okay i've tried the keyboard out on a few XP SP2 machines and it works fine, it seems i only have a problem when it come to using the keyboard on a PC with Windows Media Center, I tried it out on 2 different media center PCs and it failed on both.
    Has anyone got any hints to get the keyboard working on a PC with Media Center on?
    Once again any help is appreciated!

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard with Windows 7 on non Apple Hardware

    Good Day,
    I love the Apple Wireless Keyboard and it's the on I use when using my Thinkpad laptop as a desktop, meaning connected to an external Monitor and with an external keyboard and mouse. The Keyboard I use is an Apple Wireless Keyboard.
    On my MBA 13 I use Windows 7 as my OS and the Apple lyouted keyboard works actually quite well with windows: The function keys perform very much like in Mac OSX with the volume, screen brightness, the fn+left or right for "home" or "end" etc.
    Not I bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard to use in conjuction with my Thinkpad but all does features are missing. I guess that this has to to that on the MBA 13 the appropriate drivers where installed when the whole Bootcamp Software package was installed.
    Since I obviously cant install the whole Bootcamp CD on non Apple Hardware, is there any way to just download somewhere the drivers for Apple KEyboards so the behave the same way as they would on a Mac running Windows?
    Or is there any other way I could use my Apple Wireless Keyboard with non Apple Hardware the same way it behaves on my MBA 13 running Windows 7? Can somwhere lolely the Apple Keyboard drivers be downloaded?
    I want to thank anyone who is kind enough to help mme with this mather in advance and please leave out comments of the kind that I it's my fault, I should have bought an Apple machine from the beginning. I have my reasons and If anyone can't handle that I kindly ask you to just ignore this post unless it's constructive and helpful contribution

    After 3 frustrating hours of trying every tip on the net, I found the answer: Try this.
    "This finally fixed it for me: Device Manager - Open System Devices, you will find a Bluetooth HID Device. Double Click it, open Driver tab and click "Update Driver" Select Browse my Computer, then "Let me Pick". It should now show TWO compatible drivers with exactly the same name. One of them is the Microsoft one, one is the non-working Chinese ****. Install one of them and see if the driver properties changed to the right (Microsoft) driver. If not, try again with the other one. For me, the Microsoft driver was the first one in the list, but this may be different for you. Wow, an annoying and intense hour of trouble shooting finally over..."

    The issue is related to the Chinese version of the driver that the latest windows update applies that stops the keyboard from working.

    The internet is the internet. if its not working then its something to do with your not allowing cookies from apple's site or they are having issues.

  • I have been trying to change my apple id to my new email address and it says the id egsists what do i do

    i have been trying to change my apple id to my new email address and it says i cant as the id is in use what do i do

        If your new email address is an Apple-related email account (e.g., Mobileme account), you will get the 'email is already in use' message.  If this is the case, you cannot consolidate your old Apple ID with your new one.  I (and many others) have ran into this same issue.
          If this is indeed the cause of your problem, I recommend that you start using your new Apple ID exclusively.  If you made a considerable number of purchases under your old Apple ID (i.e., through iTunes), you will still  have to log in under your old ID for that account.
          Hopefully, one day Apple will allow us to consolidate accounts.
    I hope this helps.

  • I purchased and successfully downloaded Caravan Palace - Caravan Palace and Panic. Both albums skip and cutout during playback. Q: what's happening and why?

    I purchased and successfully downloaded Caravan Palace - Caravan Palace and Panic. Both albums skip and cutout during playback. Q: what's happening and why?

    Sounds like a corrupt download.
    From iPad:
    Delete the albums: swipe you finger across and tap delete
    Make sure you have a good internet connection & re-download: Open iTunes app > More > Purchased
    From computer:
    Delete the albums: Select > right-click > delete
    Go to iTunes Store > Purchased (in Quick Links on the right)

    You don't. Backup your itunes library on the old computer and move it to the new computer.

  • I have been trying to email a document from pages on my iPad in PDF it seems to do everything but when I go into my sent email file it is not there and recipient hasn't received it

    I Have been trying to email a document from pages on my iPad in PDF format.  i go through all the steps and it seems to send it but the recipient doesn't receive it. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

    Possibly.
    You could test that by dropping a largish image into a test Pages document and duplicating it until your document won't send.
    Some eMail clients have ceiling levels for file sizes, as do some receiving servers.
    Also test to see if you can simply export your file to pdf, in which case it will be retained on your iPad. That would be a first step.

  • HT4428 Since updating the software to version 5.3 I have been unable to use my Apple TV due to HDCP issue.

    Since updating the software to version 5.3 I have been unable to use my Apple TV due to an HDCP issue. I have eliminated the HDMI cable as the problem problem. My Television is HDCP compliant. And prior to updating my Apple TV to the current version all content was availble and streaming beautifully.
    Is it possible to revert to the previous software update version?

    If you can't use another card, how about redeeming iTunes gift certificates on it instead?
