Apple Bluetooth Keyboard volume key glitching since IOS 7 ?

At first after installing the IOS7 the system couldn't find my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard.  After a few reboots it was found but the increase volume doesn't affect the volume it now changes the desktop as if I was clicking the mission control. The decrease volume doesn't do anything. 

Found the answer from the forum to go to Sys Pref.  Sorry thought it was a glitch.

  • Apple Bluetooth Keyboard : ESC Key not responding

    I'm using an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard with many Apple products (MBA, MBP, iPad) and i have a big problem : The ESC key is not responding. Everything else is working on my keyboard except the ESC Key. Do you know how to fix it ?

    Hello:
    It is, of course, possible that the KB has failed....
    Try resetting the PRAM.  If that does not help, I think it is time for a new one.

  • Apple bluetooth keyboard function keys not working correctly

    My bluetooth keyboard was working fine for a long time, but recently the function keys have stopped behaving normally. The keys labeled for volume controls now affect expose, the brightness keys do nothing. Also, pressing fn+delete doesn't delete characters, it keeps working like a backspace. I've deleted the apple bluetooth plist, reset PRAM and NVRAM, reset the SMC, deleted and repaired with the keyboard, all to no effect. Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello k:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    Out of curiosity, in system preferences>keyboard is the f1..f2… box checked?

  • Apple bluetooth keyboard doesn't allow text input on iOS 8 with voice over but allows navigation using arrow keys?

    Hi, upgraded to iOS 8 on my blind sister's iPad 2 but now the Apple Bluetooth keyboard doesn't seem to recognise text entry, the arrow keys still allow navigation using voiceover. Have had trouble before with the keyboard in iOS7 but have solved by reseting the iPad in settings. Any ideas? Sister is really struggling as she can't use iPad's software keyboard. Thanks

    My wife is a blind user too. In iOS 8 it is fussy about Quick Nav. on or off. We have an newer iPad but be sure Quick Nav is OFF (left + right arrows together) then try text entry. Hope it helps!

  • On iOS 5 for iPad, is there a home button key on the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard that will allow you to go to the home screen or multitask? Perhaps by pressing the escape key or something?

    Sorry, but no one who would know can discuss unreleased software such as iOS 5 in these forums. We'll have to wait, probably for the official release, before such details will be known.

  • Function keys are not working on a paired apple bluetooth keyboard

    hello, I just got this apple bluetooth keyboard and paired it to my ipad2. The letter and number keys are working perfectly fine, but my ipad will not respond to F1 to F12 keys,I tried Fn+F1-F12 they are not working. Then I tried to restart both my ipad and keyboard but the problem is still there. Additionally, Command+arrows can't function either. command+space is working though. Could some one please help? thanks a lot!

    It might have been functionality that Apple has removed in the current version of iOS.  This old web article says the function keys worked in iOS3, but that's a couple of years ago:

  • "F" Keys on iPad and Apple Bluetooth Keyboard

    Anybody know how to get the "F" Keys on my Apple bluetooth keyboard to work with my iPad? I need to use F1, F2, etc. Please Help.

    You might notice that keyboards sold exclusively for use with the iPad do not include function keys. That is because the iPad does not currently offer any system-wide method for assigning actions to those keys. I suppose that individual apps might be able to look for function key presses and have actions assigned to them, but since most apps are designed to work with the iPad's built-in input tools, I doubt that many – or any – apps implement this.

  • 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 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.

    Everywhere that I've checked it is not possible to do this. I would like to even do this using the vkb. I hate having to stretch my thumb all the way up just to send a message. It's messaging, not a report or email. Seems backwards. Hopefully some day Apple can add this option.

  • My Apple Bluetooth keyboard has stopped working. The top row of keys works but the rest of the keys do not. I was carrying this in my computer bag without turning it off and that is when this started.

    My apple bluetooth keyboard has stopped working. The top row of keys works and the iPad sees the bluetooth keyboard (the bluetooth icon is active) but the other keys do not work. For the past coupld of days I have carried my keyboard in my computerbag without turning it off and I am thinking I have done something to make the letter keys to stop working. Two days in a row I did turn on the music as I carried the computer bag into work so I know that some keys were being activated.

    *UPDATE*
    I have been able to use the Zoom function to zoom in and the keys on the top row no longer are in the non-responsive strip of area.

  • Apple bluetooth keyboard lost a key

    I'm having a weird issue with my Apple BT keyboard: today I noticed it doesn't respond to the 'six' key, which is easy to check in keyboard viewer. Also, I discovered that when I press control + space I get 'six' reported in the viewer instead of this shortcut.
    The key seems OK, nothing looks broken in it, no dirt etc. underneath. Also, changed batteries and checked keyboard with iPad to be sure it's not something else.
    Any way I can bring it back to life?

    Out of curiousity I did a google search for "replacement keys for apple bluetooth keyboard" and got potential candidate hits that may (or may not) help you.  Here's two that looked interesting:
    Apple iMac ALUMINUM Replacement Keyboard Keys
    Apple Wireless Aluminum Keyboard Key (BLUETOOTH) A1314
    and this,
    How do I Replace a Broken Keyboard Key?
    Maybe some of the other hits are more useful I don't know.
    Good luck.

  • I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station.

    I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station. The Keyboard and mouse work great with the laptop lid open but when closed in the docking station the bluetooth signal does not seem to transmit.  Is there a setting that can be changed to allow an Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to wake the computer while docked?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Apple Bluetooth Keyboard Not Connecting

    Hello,
      I have an iPad 3 (model MD340LL/A) given to me by my school and the standard Apple Bluetooth keyboard.  Last year, I used the keyboard with my iPad without a problem.  However, my school collected our iPads over summer and did a software reset on them and set them up with their own system (a few standard apple apps are disabled).  Since I got my iPad back, my keyboard will not connect to it.  The iPad is physically the same one I had last year, but the software was reset.  When I press the power button on the keyboard, the light turns green for around 3-4 seconds and then turns off.  It won't go into discoverable mode where the light starts flashing.  we have tried connecting it to my dad's MacBook, and it sometimes shows up while searching for a device, but any attempt to connect to it ends in a pairing unsuccessful message.  How can I get my keyboard to connect to my iPad?  The iPad is on iOS 7.1, and I know that none of my school's changes to the iPad should affect my keyboard, since they haven't changed from last year when they worked fine.
    Thanks,
      Nihar

  • A1016 Apple Bluetooth Keyboard Pairs, but will not work

    I have one of those A1016, 1st generation, Apple Bluetooth keyboards,
    had it since late 2008, that will pair via bluetooth setup assistant, I
    can enter the passkey on the keyboard and I get the "congratulations
    your computer is now setup to use your bluetooth keyboard, message but,
    as soon as it is paired the keyboard accepts no input.
    The problem started after I left the keyboard in my car overnight, and
    switched on, I believe, while the only macbook I had ever used the
    keyboard with was with me, 30 miles away. If I had not been in an
    extreme hurry at the time I probably would have thought to take the
    batteries out of the keyboard.
    The battery level, currently, is at about 79%. The light on the caps
    lock key does not come on, but the green light on the on switch,
    underneath the keyboard, does seem to work, when I first switch it on
    that light blinks for a period of time.
    Incidentally, the keyboard has been in this condition for a long time,
    now, and I deleted com.apple.Bluetooth.plist many times and I repaired
    permissions, even with "applejack" and with "iceclean", many times since
    the problem started.

    Hi Barry, thanks for the quick reply. I am not familiar with "favorites" for BT, but I checked, and of the several BT devices I have re-paired, only the keyboard is NOT a "favorite". Odd thing is, I have no idea how to make a device a "favorite" (or not)! Don't know how it happened for the other devices.
    The Apple support document TA2137 says to click on the "add to favorites" button, but I see no such button and no way to make a BT device a "favorite". I have no idea how my other BT devices got so designated. I think I've applied all software updates.
    Can you help me on setting that BT "favorite" status?
    Thanks,
    Dave

  • I'm can't connect my apple bluetooth keyboard to my pc laptop

    I'm trying to connect my apple bluetooth keyboard to my pc laptop, but it fails saying "unknown error ...error code 0x80070015". It the says to contact the device manufactorer for assistance... any ideas out there?

    No. It came with my iMac when I bought it 1.5 years ago, but I had also bought the regular wired keyboard for the number keys. I just bought a PC laptop and am trying to match the Apple wireless keyboard with it. (The small size is perfect for the space I have available.) I did change the batteries, but I did notice that the green light showing it is on only stays on for about 15 seconds. Another thing is that most of the time my PC doesn't see it. I have managed to sinc the laptop with the iMac, so at least it doesn't seem to be an anti-Apple issue.
