Absolutely Love Apple's Wireless Keyboard

Just wanted to say that I just picked up an Apple Wireless Keyboard and the Wireless Mighty Mouse this past weekend at my local Best Buy. I am absolutely blown away by how cool the Wireless Keyboard is. Not only is it a work of art, the keys have a tremendous tactile feel to them, with just the right balance of spring. The wireless mouse is cool too, and I also purchased a really thin mouse pad from Allsop that is like a thin sliver of plastic on my desk.
I highly recommend the Wireless keyboard and the Wireless mouse.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the new keyboard design. Unfortunately I had to opt for the Wired version as the key layout on the Wireless is quite cramped!

  • Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard not Connecting to iPad

    Hey, I try to connect my Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard is not connecting to my iPad. I tap Bluetooth "On" and it searches for devices. Then I slide the switch on the back of my keyboard to the green light and the iPad picks it up and says "Not Paired." So I tap the keyboard and it just spins and spins and spins until the keyboard times out and powers off. Then it disappears and my iPad can't find any devices. I repeated the process several times and I got the same result.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks

    I had a very similar problem, with a new model wireless keyboard. The set-up is not very intuitive (and the instructions for both the iPad and the keyboard are not particularly helpful). Here's how I got it to work:
    1. If the keyboard has already been paired with another object -- e.g., I was testing out my iMac keyboard -- you should be completely out of range of that other object (more than 30 feet away).
    2. Make sure Bluetooth on the iPad is disabled.
    3. The keyboard should not be "on" -- i.e., no solid green light.
    4. Press and hold the power button on the keyboard until you get a blinking green light. This should take just a few seconds.
    5. Turn on Bluetooth on the iPad.
    6. At this point, it should detect the keyboard and instruct you to enter a combination of keys to pair the two devices.
    I found that you have to follow this sequence or it won't work. For example, if you have Bluetooth on on the iPad before holding the power button on the keyboard, it won't work.
    I hope that helps.

    Apple Aluminium Wireless Keyboard - How to put back UP arrow key
    Does anyone know how to put back the UP ARROW key that has fallen off?
    The parts are in good condition. It must have caught something and it fell off.
    Thanks.

  • Is there ANY wireless mouse that will work with the iPad 2 and Apple's Wireless Keyboard?

    I have the iPad 2 and Apple's Wireless Keyboard and would like to purchase a wireless mouse that will accommodate my Apple products. I do understand that Apple's Magic Mouse is not compatible with the iPad 2, but would like to hear if there is any possibility that i could use a wireless mouse with my iPad.
      Thanks :)

    You don't have to purchase a mouse. You already have one, it's wireless and the only one that will work on an iPad.

  • "Sticky" keys on apple's wireless keyboard when typing on my ipad.

    I am using apple's wireless keyboard on my ipad. It has worked fine for four months but then last night the keys got "sticky", typing any letter I'm hitting continually until I hit escape. Does anyone know how to set it back to normal typing?
    The on screen keyboard works fine (I'm using it now), but when i switch to the wireless this happens:
    I   cannnnn't't't    tttttyppeeeeeeee      noormallyyyyyyy...............
    I tried changing batteries but that didn't help either. Would really appreciate comments/help!!

    Do you have a computer with Bluetooth that you can test the keyboard with?
    Have you tried going into Settings on the iPad and under Bluetooth tried forgetting the device? You should see the keyboard listed as a device. Pressing the arrow in the blue circle should present an option to forget the device.

  • Using "delete" key on Apple's wireless keyboard shut down applications on my ipad, such as Mail, in Japanese Font.  Any solution?

    I use Apple's wireless keyboard to type email messages on my ipad.  Often applications, such as Mail, would shut down suddenly after using "delete" key on the wireless keyboard.  This happens when I am typing in Japanese language.  It is really annoying because I will lose all the text that are not saved.  Any suggestions? 

    Sorry but that was a completely pointless post.

  • How do I jump between spreads using apple's wireless keyboard?

    When in InDesign CS4 for Mac, I often jump to the next spread. First, I center the spread on my screen using Command+Option+0. Then, I use Option+Page up or Page down, and this takes me to the next or previous spread, and it keeps the spread exactly centered. I am going to switch to apple's wireless keyboard, which does not have a page up or page down. Will I still be able to navigate the same way using the arrow keys or another keyboard combination?

    You don't have to edit keyboard shortcuts.
    Press Fn + Option + up arrow and Fn + Option + down arrow to page to next or previous spread. "Fn" is the function key at the lower left corner of your keyboard.
    I also turn on the function "Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard. This allows you to get access to function keys when necessary.

    I would not waste time trying to troubleshoot the problem.  Since it is new, call Applecare with a warranty problem.  I had a similar problem with a new KB some time ago and it was replaced at no cost (shipping included).

  • 2007 BT Apple Aluminium Wireless Keyboard

    Hi. Suddenly, my Apple Aluminium Wireless Keyboard (2007 version)  went mad. I deleted it from the BT devices enlisted, in order to re-pairing it, but then, I cannot pair it again. I´ve changed batteries, reboot, deleted preferences, reseted the pvram, but nothing happens. Its weird, because in the list of devices the keyboard appears listed, but finnally never get pair. Sometimes, pressing some keys, I got the device appears listed, but again, it cannot get pair.
    Anyone else have the same trouble?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello:
    Try resetting the SMC.
    Of course, the KB may have failed.

  • Fn key is not working on Apple compact wireless keyboard

    The fn key is not working on my Apple compact wireless keyboard. Keyboard Viewer shows the keyboard (incorrectly) as having a number pad but no fn key. How do I fix this? I'm running OSX 10.5.8.

    Unfortunately my old Mini does not have wireless capability. So I could not test the keyboard.
    I did however find two preferences files. I suggest you find them and trash them.
    Disconnect the keyboard first. Then find the two .plist files. They are:
    com.apple.KeyboardViewerServer.plist - this is in Users / yourself / Library / Preferences.
    The other is: com.apple.keyboardtype.plist - this is in Library (root level) / Preferences.
    After trashing both these, it's a good idea to restart the computer, and then once again pair the keyboard.

  • How do you clean the battery tube for the Apple aluminum wireless keyboard

    We have an Apple aluminum Wireless keyboard. My daughter said the weak battery signal came on and then while later the keyboard stopped working. I had a difficult time loosening the endcap whre the batteries are stored. When I finally got it open, it was appearant that one of the batteries had leaked. Now the keyboard does not work when I insert new batteries. The corrosion is in the area of the last battery (closest to the opening)and on the cap. What is the best way to clean this up?

    I just had this same problem. I had much difficulty getting the third battery out of the keyboard battery tube due to corrosion. Despite a rubber mallet and some careful tapping of the keyboard on a hard surface, I resorted to a few drops of vinegar.....after a minute or so I was able to pop the last battery out.
    There was light corrosion along the inside of the tube which made putting new batteries in difficult, and besides if I were to force the new batteries in - I would be facing the same problem next time. So, I ended up using a shotgun cleaning kit to clean the tube. I attached a 20 GA bore brush to the cleaning rod and ran it through the battery tube a few times. Blew the tube out with compressed air, and inserted the new batteries. The wire bore brush worked like a charm as I am typing this reply on the keyboard. Just thought I'd mention the idea.

  • Apple Aluminium Wireless Keyboard - Bluetooth setup sees the keyboard but then green light flashes and it won't pair

    I am desperately hoping someone can help me out here...
    I have a 1st generation aluminium Apple Wireless Keyboard — the one that needs three batteries, as opposed to two — and it refuses to pair with any of my three Macs.
    I was originally using it — for a few years — on an old G4 Mac Mini running Tiger then later on, Leopard.
    I recently sold the Mini but in the days leading up to the sale some strange things were happening with the keyboard ...the number '7' key became non-responsive 90% of the time and the Keyboard Viewer app showed it as being constantly pressed down. Every other key was working 100% ok.
    Fast forward a few days after the sale of my Mini: Now when I try to connect the keyboard to any of my other Macs, the Bluetooth Setup sees the keyboard no problem at all but when I click 'Continue' to go the the pairing stage, the process just keeps failing!
    Whenever I turn my keyboard on I get the expected solid green light for two or three seconds, but after that the keyboard's green light keeps repeatedly blinking until I turn the keyboard off again.
    I did notice that the Bluetooth Setup will only ever see the keyboard in those first few seconds when the light is a solid green ...if I wait until the lights starts blinking and then start up the Bluetooth Setup, it does not see the keyboard at all.
    If anyone can shed any light on this, I would be enternally grateful!!!! ...especially as I was recently made redundant — that's 'Laid-off' for any Americans reading this! — and I would rather not have to buy yet another expensive Apple keyboard when I'm jobless and really should not have to!!!
    I read about a lot of people who's Macs sinply don't see their keyboard, but it's extra frustrating for me as my Macs do see the keyboard but won't bloody well pair with it!
    Thanks again to anyone taking the time to read this!

    The keyboard and mouse should have come from the factory already paired to the Mac. But if it didn't see this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1809

  • Apple Aluminum Wireless Keyboard Pairs, but letter/number keys don't work

    I just got the new Wireless keyboard and I paired it, and the Function keys work fine, and when I was pairing, the number keys worked as well(to type in pairing code). But when I try to type in any search box or type anywhere, it won't. even the numbers won't work. the Tab and Delete keys work though. Along with the function keys.
    The funny thing about this is that the number keys worked when i was pairing, but not now. Also when I start up my Mac and have to type the password in, the letter keys worked. But once on the desktop its a no go.
    Please help.

    24 hours later, the initial fix resetting the Universal Access settings as discussed above, the keyboard proved to be so flaky, that I took it back to Apple and exchanged it for a new one. The weakness seems to be in the bluetooth communication perhaps, with the keyboard accepting the new settings and then forgetting them somehow. So if you are a user reading this thread and you aren't getting any joy from the solution above, the solution is to take/send the keyboard back to Apple for a new one. The one I have now works just fine. It paired up much more quickly and it is typing this note without any issues. So far. I also picked up a wired keyboard in case I have to throw this one against the wall if it starts screwing up like the other one. Either way, I am covered.

  • Apple Bluetooth / Wireless Keyboard Low-Battery Indicator?

    Hi All,
    Does the iPad show a low-battery indicator when the Apple wireless keyboard is running out of juice? I know OS X is supposed to, but not sure about iOS. I plan to use my keyboard for meetings and depositions where I'd be in a tight spot if I ran out of juice unexpectedly.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    No, but, "The Apple Wireless Keyboard requires just two AA batteries — one less than the previous model. And its intelligent power management system conserves battery life. *So when you’re not using the keyboard, it automatically powers down. The instant you start typing, it turns back on*. Use the on/off switch when you're away from your computer for a long time."
    From here. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC184LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    Carry a spare set of AA batteries just in case.

  • Apple New Wireless keyboard issue

    I purchased an apple wireless keyboard a month or so ago, and all was fine. A few days ago, I must have touched some combination of keys that now have the effect of NOT allowing me to type using the keyboard.
    I changed the batteries and checked the bluetooth connection, and all seems fine. The odd part is, some of the keys (the function keys across the top) all work all the time. But NO letter keys work.
    Is there a "numberlock" or somesuch key I may have inadvertently hit? Help, please?
    Thanks
