Apple external Bluetooth keyboard

How do I find out which characters are 'hidden’ behind Shift, Control, Option and combinations thereof, without trying by hitting key after key?

Here is a more general list I found for you to try
CMD – c (Copy selected text)
CMD – x (Cut selected text)
CMD – v (Paste)
CMD – z (Undo)
CMD – e (End of Line)
CMD – a (Beginning of Line)
CMD – k (Delete To End of Line)
CMD – f (Cursor Forward)
CMD – b (Cursor Back)
CMD – n (Next Line)
CMD – p (Previous Line)
CMD – shift – z (Redo)
CMD – Up Arrow (Jump to top of document)
CMD – Down Arrow (Jump to bottom of document)
CMD – Left Arrow (Jump to beginning of line)
CMD – Right Arrow (Jump to end of line)
CMD – Delete (Delete everything on the current line to the left of the cursor)
Option – Delete (Delete the word to the left of the cursor, and its preceding space)
F1 (Dim Screen)
F2 (Brighten Screen)
F7 (Back one song)
F8 (Play/Pause Music)
F9 (Skip one song ahead)
F10 (Mute) F11 (Volume Down)
F12 (Volume Up)
Eject key (Show/hide on-screen keyboard)
Option – Shift (Any letter or number, alternative character)

  • External Bluetooth keyboard compatability

    I am new to using the iPod touch. I'm using an iPod touch 4th Generation. I have an external bluetooth keyboeard from a preveious hand-held computer. The brand name of the computer and the external keyboard it used is "PalmOne". The version, and Bluetooth information from my iPod touch is as follows:
    Version: 4.2.1 (8C148)
    Is the version above my OS?
    Bluetooth: 5C:59:48:8A:33:1C
    When I open up my foldable bluetooth keyboard and turn on the bluetooth feature on my iPod touch, the screen shows that Bluetooth is on. Under the main Bluetooth heading there is a subheading that reads; "Devices". Under that, there is a white area with the word; "Searching..." with a small grey circle spinning next to it. Under that, in small pritn the words "Now discoverable" are shown.
    The keyboard has a button taht looks like a Microsoft Windows logo could this be why it isn't being detected? There are also other keys on there such as a Fn (function), Home which shows a house logo, a key that has a logo of a menu, and many other strange looking symbols on some of the keys. Do you think this will be compatable to the ipod touch if I try syncing the software for the keyboard to the ipod touch?

    Thanks for the info. Although my question wasn't answered here I'm stillmarking it as answered because you gave some helpful information. However, I spoke with an Apple iPod sales person who has an iPod touch & uses external Bluetooth keyboards and she told me that mine would not be compatible.
    Thanks anyway.

  • I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

    I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

    While not in edit mode:
    - if start typing numbers, then it enters number mode.
    - if start typing text, then it enters text mode.
    Using the arrow keys exits edit mode. So this should work for you:
    1 Type text into a cell, which enters text mode.
    2 Press Return to move to the next cell.
    3 Press right arrow key to exit edit mode.
    4 Press left arrow key to get back to the cell.
    5 Type a number, which enters number mode.
    Another method that requires more planning ahead of time is to format the cells as text or number before starting the data entry. Then when you navigate to a cell while in edit mode, you will be in the appropriate mode (without having to exit edit mode).
    This all works fine for me. Hopefullly it does for you also.

  • How do I connect an external bluetooth keyboard to my stream 7

    I purchased a stream 7 a couple of months ago.  connected an external bluetooth keyboard to it.  now the external keyboard will not connect.  When I search for bluetooth devices, nothing shows up.  sometimes the stream 7 will pick up my fire on the other side of the house but not the keyboard that is right beside it.  Is there a setting that I have wrong?

    Hello kutou, There could be one of several things wrong for the bluetooth keyboard to not be recognized.It could be the bluetooth drivers need reinstalling or there could be something wrong with the keyboard itself.You did check for bad batteries I assume? Here is a link to some troubleshooting info from Microsoft that you could try first.Troubleshoot problems with Bluetooth enabled devices If that does not work, here is a video on how to uninstall and reinstall the bluetooth driver.▶ How To Fix Bluetooth Not Working In Windows 8.1 - YouTube Here is the download for the bluetooth driver if needed.Its the same for the Stream 7 5701 and 5709 models.http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp70001-70500/sp70340.exe Let me know how it turns out.

  • Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works after OSX update

    After installing the latest OSX update yesterday (something about iChat encryption), Apple Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works with my iMac.
    When I restarted the iMac after installation was completed, the iMac would no longer recognise my Bluetooth Apple wireless keyboard. I've tried with 2 other Apple wireless keyboards as well, but to no avail. None of them work with the iMac any longer. All 3 keyboards work with my PowerMac Quad G5 though.
    The iMac "sees" the keyboards, but the pairing doesn't go through because the iMac doesn't seem to recognise the keystrokes when entering the pairing code.
    I had to go out and buy myself a Microsoft wired keyboard to be able to restart the iMac (couldn't enter the login password without a keyboard).
    My bluetooth mighty mouse works flawlessly though.
    Very frustrating. Can anyone help?

    And yes I checked the batteries.

  • IPhone 3GS with OS4 upgrade - using Apple's Bluetooth Keyboard

    Help!
    I just upgraded my iPhone 3GS to OS 4. I also bought an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard.
    It's awesome except for one thing. After I type a text message and go to send it, I push the "Send/Enter" button and it just goes to the next line, it won't actually send the message. I realize the keyboard came out way before OS 4, but surely there must be a button you can use to actually send the message without having to go back to the phone each time.
    Does anyone know what button on the Bluetooth keyboard you use to "send" the text or do I have to just tap "send" on the actual phone?
    Thanks! [email protected]

    I am coming across the same issue! help anyone?

  • Apple AL Bluetooth Keyboard - Tab, Caps Lock, Function and Control keys just stopped working

    Hi All -
    All of a sudden I get on my baby, 27" iMac OSX 10.6 and the some keys on the bluetooth keyboard do not work. Specifially the Tab, Caps Lock, Function and Control keys. I'm fine with the caps lock gone (why is it there?) but the others are useful.
    I've searched all over for a solution but I haven't found one. Tried to upgrade the firmware which is fine, reset the PRAM done, checked the speech per apple support nadda.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Go to System preferances > Universal Access > Mouse or Mousie and trackpad > and turn your Mouse keys off.
    Then disconnect and reconnect your keyboard.
    Note that you don't open your mouse under hardware in System Preferances, this is for a whole different group of settings
    Hope This helps

  • Does the Apple Aluminum Bluetooth Keyboard works in BootCamp w/ Vista?

    Hey there,
    I have tried so many many times and I cannot pair them together. The pairing process itself seemed to work just fine everytime I tried. But the problem is the keyboard itself never works. In the Bluetooth devices list in Vista's bluetooth menu it does list my keyboard there but it seems to be disconnected every 5-10 seconds or something. It says...
    My keyboard name
    Passkey paired
    Connected
    where the "Connected" part keep disappearing every 5-10 seconds. Even when it says connected, I tried the keyboard but it never works. Did I do something wrong?
    Cheers,

    As I installed Windows on my Mac, I was unable to use my wireless keyboard and mouse (which are the standards from Apple) when i was operating on the Windows partition. I had to call my buddy and use his keyboard and mouse, which were not wireless, and it worked fine. While in Windows, i did download Mac OS X, to make the two OS compatible, but the wireless still did not work on Windows. Is there something additional i need to do to allow my wireless keyboard and mouse to work on the Windows side of things. Please let me know if you have the answer

  • External Bluetooth keyboard / OS 3 ?

    Has anyone already tried to connect an external keyboard via Bluetooth within OS 3 ?
    I intend to buy one. Is there anything I have to pay attention to?

  • HT5633 Apple TV Bluetooth Keyboard Layout

    Hi,
    how can we change the keyboard layout.
    It doesn't recognize the AZERTY layout and use QWERTY instead...
    Cheers

    Only English QWERTY is supported.
    "Apple TV uses the U.S. English keyboard layout regardless of the keyboard's hardware layout."
    I had some friends that ran into this. Probably best to submit feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/.

  • Why can't I use the spacebar on my Apple bluetooth keyboard to wake my iMac?

    I'm pretty sure I was able to use Apple's Bluetooth keyboard to wake the machine before. The only solution I have so far is use the power button on the back of the iMac to wake it and worse, not letting the hard drive sleep in the first place. Neither of these options suit me very well.  Anyone have a suggestion? 
    Thanks!!

    Hi iNstaPro,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iMac isn't waking from sleep reliably, I'd try these steps from our display troubleshooting article:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.

  • Apple bluetooth Keyboard/mouse + gaming?

    Hello,
    I've been trying to find this info on the net but haven't been able to so far...
    Can anyone with Apple's bluetooth keyboard tell me if its response time is quick enough to make gaming possible?
    Thanks
    Loa

    Hello,
    Thanks for the input Martin. I'm not a hardcore gamer either, but I'd really hate to see some lag from the keyboard or mouse...
    2 quick questions: do you get any connection problems with either of them? And are there USB ports on the wireless keyboard?
    Thanks

  • Apple Bluetooth Keyboard under Windows

    Guys I can't get the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard to work under windows when I start my MBP in XP...I can discover it and then it pairs with it, but in the end no key will work :/

    From Apple:
    Are there any Macintosh features that I should not expect to work when running Windows XP on an Intel-based Macintosh computer?
    Even after installling the Macintosh Drivers CD, the Apple Remote Control (IR), Apple Wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard or mouse, Apple USB Modem, MacBook Pro's sudden motion sensor, MacBook Pro's ambient light sensor, and built-in iSight camera will not function correctly when running Windows.

  • Buzz / Hiss sound when using apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse w/heaphones

    When I use the apple wireless (bluetooth) keyboard and mouse with my 1.42Ghz G4 Mac mini, there is a constant buzzing or hissing noise. When I turn the keyboard and mouse off, it stops. I've updated the firmware on my mac mini, but I couldn't update the firmware on my keyboard and mouse:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301282
    (thanks, apple)
    Is there a way to fix this noise? Would updating the firmware solve this? Has anyone else experienced it? It's driving me crazy!
    Thanks!

    would you have another computer available that has 10.3 on it? it would probably help. pmu reset may also help http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300574. good luck. [ : ) ]
