Apple keyboard doesn't give correct symbols with iPad2

My apple keyboard works perfectly with my iPhone5, (WiFi, but NOT 3G) but when I use it with my iPad2 most of the keys give a different symbol that what's written on the keyboard. How can I set it so it works correctly as with the iphone5?
thanks for any help.
Will any answer be sent to me automatically to my email address, or must I go to community daily to look for replies?
Thanks
Dan

The backlight of keyboard doesn't work in win7, with a well setup bootcamp drivers

Anyone had an issue on iphone 4s where bluetooth connects one day and then the next will not discover anything, but then a little while later it works again? I have 2 audio devices and an apple keyboard that I have this issue with. Effects ALL.

I have an iphone 4s. A while ago it started having issues with bluetooth. All of the sudden, an audio headset I am using quits working with my iphone bluetooth. I check and my iphone doesn't see any of my bluetooth devices. I have an apple keyboard, a headset, and a speaker. Nothing shows up on my iphone but they all connect perfectly to my ipad. Then a day or so later it works again. The are all suddenly there. I just installed iOS7 and I'm still having the same problem. What is UP? Anyone have a clue what is going on?

I have this problem too. I have an iPhone 4, and this wasn't a problem when I bought the phone back in December. I think it came a month or so later and I suspect with a standard upgrade of something like itunes, or iphone software... but I can't pinpoint it to any specific update as it took me a while to notice it. For me, it does this with my work calendar which is run through Microsoft Outlook. But it's the exact same thing - and it means my calendar isn't reliable anymore.
I've made sure the time-zone settings are correct, I've updated all software, and gone through all possible settings for both my i-phone and Outlook. Nothing fixes the problem, even our tech guy at work didn't know what to do. I know it's not just my phone as the exact same thing has happened with my boss's iPhone which is an iPhone 3G, and it frustrates him to no end.
I'm really hoping someone at apple can tell us what's going on, especially since it never used to do this and there doesn't seem to be any way to fix it. If someone thinks they know what itunes update this was due to, let me know - I'll see if I can go back to that older version.

One button of the keyboard doesn't work correctly

Hi there,
I have a problem with my keyboard:
One button of the keyboard doesn??t work correctly: I want to write down a vowel with an accent (like in French and Spanish?), but if I press the button ´ and then the vowel, TWO dashes (´´) and the vowel appear: ´´i. Normally, there would automatically be an accent on top of the i.
I have already tried a different keyboard, but it??s the same problem when I connect it to my notebook. I have also tried to choose a different language like French and Spanish, where they have those accents, but it still doesn??t work.
It would be great if somebody could help me.
Thanks a lot,
Hanna

Hi Hannah,
You do not say which options you have changed to try using a different language, but there are several options which do slightly different things.
If you go into Control Panel and select "Regional and Language Options", a new window opens with 3 tabs across the top. Choose "Languages" (the middle one), then press the "Details" button. This opens another window which allows you to view and change settings including the current input language and keyboard settings.
Changing some of these settings will not make any difference until you reboot your machine.
I hope this helps, let us know how you get on!

Difficult to explain: Midi keyboard doesn't correspond correctly.

I have an M-Audio Key Studio 25, which suddenly does not correspond correctly to the piano roll in Logic.
Specifically, when I hit C# on the keyboard, corresponds to C in Logic's software instruments, and other plugins. So, with Ultrabeat, for example, if i want to hit the kick drum which is the C note on the keyboard, i must now hit C# for that kick drum.
Any ideas? It's driving me nuts.

..or, you accidentally set a transpose value of +1 semitone in the inspector.

Apple wireless keyboard function keys don't work with ipad2

I have a brand new ipad2 and just purchased an apple wireless keyboard. The keys work fine for typing, but the keys across the top don't seem to work at all. I play music, but none of the music control keys work. The keys on functions 1..12 appear to be totally dead.
I have seen several posts from people who seem to have this problem, but I see no answers. Did I purchase a lemon or what?

wrote this in another thread, but it is relevant here, too.
Wanting to buy a keyboard and reading this thread (and others), I went to a local Best Buy. They had quite a few of the wireless keyboards out. They had MC184LL(A) models and (B) models.
ALL of the (A) models worked perfectly with the iPad (typing, brightness, volume, ipod functions, etc).
NONE of the (B) models worked other than basic typing.
They had a stack of maybe 50 new wireless keyboards on the shelf. All but two of them were (B) models.
I bought one of the two (A) models. It is working perfectly on my iPad.

Help: BB keyboard doesn't work correctly

Hi all,
I have a problem with my BB curve 8520. Yesterday the keyboard started to do strange things:
when I'm writing text messages it skips some letters
it starts automatically to cancel all I have wrote without I have pushed "del"
sometimes it automatically locks and no one key can remove the lock
I already tried to remove and replace the battery but the problem still remain.
Please tell me if there's a solution.

Sometimes, the OS just get's corrupted...and reloading it clean is then the next step to try...
At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
You may also want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

Satellite L10 - keyboard doesn't work correctly

Hello
I have problem with my keyboard. I install Windows XP from recovery CD and make updates form Windows Update. Sometimes when I write something ex 1234567890, I see on the screen 123567890 or 123456790.
I took the laptop to the service and they said everything is OK, but for me it`s not!!
What is wrong with it, can someone tell me ??
Thanks

Just small update: I have also heard when MSN search bar is installed the CPU activity goes permanently up and down between 2 and 20 % and if you pres the keyboard key in this moment when the CPU activity goes to higher percent it can happen that the key will not be displayed.
As I said it should be fixed with new BIOS.
Bye and good luck!

New Non-Apple keyboard doesn't have Eject key.

I wear out Mac keyboards fast, so I got a non-Apple Mac keyboard, but it lacks a drive-open/eject key. Is there any way to program an F-key or a combination to open the drive door?

Hi-
Go to System/ Library /CoreServices /Menu Extras. Inside that folder, find and double-click on the file called Eject.menu.
Now, look in your Menu bar, and you should be the proud owner of an Eject icon, which, when clicked, ejects the optical drive (closes it too)!

Why Firefox doesn't support alt symbols with long codes?

For example, I try to type symbol 'ґ' using Alt+1169. But instead of this I see char 'С' (cyryllic).
Also I noticed that (e.g.) Alt+1 = Alt+257, Alt+2 = Alt+258, etc, i.e. cyclically.
Opera has not such problem.
Thanks.

Did you try it?
If Num Lock is off then Alt + & is the same as Alt + Home and opens the home page. Other Alt keys also may have effect.

Updated to OS X Maverick and now the keyboard doesn't work. Anyone with similar problem and a solution?

I recently updated to the OS X Maverick and the keyboard just stopped functioning after working fine the first day. Pressing any key just produces a ding, but no mark. Pressing the return key produces a black dot as if you were putting in a confidential password. Has anyone had a similar problem and a possible solution? Thanks. mj-t

I am having the same problem and its not on every call, its very hit or miss, but very aggrovating. The screen just goes black and the home key nor the power button on top have any affect. Then the locked screen will show but you can't unlock the phone. I have to let it sit for a minute and then I can push the home button and go on in and the call is finally disconnected.

TS3048 My wireless apple keyboard doesn't pair w/ a brand new iMac

Any help?

Hello:
Try resetting the SMC.

P.S. If the KB was paired with another device, you would need to delete it from that device.

Will all (both Apple proprietary and 3rd party) accesories compatible with iPad2 also be compatible with the new iPad (version 3)?

I have just pre-ordered my first iPad, and luckily my timing was perfect as I have been able to grab a first round new iPad (version 3). That said, while I wait for it to ship (due 3rd of April), I wanted to do some research and begin to buy the accesories I will want to go along with it.
Are all accessories currently available on the market and thus compatible with the iPad 2 also going to be compatible with the new iPad (version 3)? This question goes for both Apple proprietary accessories (i.e. Airport Express, Camera connector kit, Smart Cover, etc.) and 3rd party (non-Apple iPad covers / stands, etc.)?
Many thanks in adavnce.

There are two different Zagg keyboards. One of them, the Zagg Folio, is a combination keyboard and case that completely surrounds the iPad, front and back. The Zagg Folio (for iPad 2) doesn't fit the new iPad since the new iPad is thicker.
The other Zagg keyboard is the "Logitech Keyboard Case by Zagg". This keyboard grips and surrounds the front of the iPad, but doesn't go around the back. Since the new iPad has the same frontal dimensions, it's compatible with iPad 2 versions of this keyboard.

10.5.6 USB apple aluminum keyboard doesn't work...help!

After installing 10.5.6 my apple keyboard doesn't work, but the apple mouse plugged into the keyboard works fine. I installed the combo update and it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

I also have the same problem with a MacMini running MacOS 10.5.6 Server. The Al Apple Keyboard (wired) does not show up in the USB tree. However, the wireless one (over bluetooth) works fine.
help!

Apple TV doesn't work with HDMI Switch

Apple TV doesn't seem to work with my HDMI Switch. Tried every combination of cables. Tried switching all devices on and off at different times. Googled to see if anyone else has tried a switcher with Apple TV. All I know is: PlayStation 3 works just fine running through the switcher. Apple TV doesn't work at all with the switcher, only when plugged directly into the TV.
I only have one HDMI port on my Samsung HDTV and two HDMI devices (PlayStation 3, Apple TV). All my component slots are full and I already have a component switcher that's full, too. So HDMI is the only option for me.
Any ideas? Switcher claims to support HDCP... and it does do HD resolutions (PS3 displaying in 720p).

I use this 5x1 switch from Monoprice and it works fine, switching 3 devices, which are then routed through my AV receiver's switch... Despite the convoluted hookup, I have not had HDCP handshake issues.
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=101&cp_id=10110&cs_id=1011002&pid=2777&seq=1&format=2&style=
The nice thing about this switch is:
1. It works: no discernable loss in quality, switches relatively quickly, etc.
2. It's cheaper than many others, like Gefen, or even the Xtrememac (which is 4x1)
3. The remote has discrete buttons for each input, which is very helpful when setting up a universal remote like my Harmony 880. I can't tell from the Xtrememac picture if it's a direct input, or if you can only cycle through the inputs...
Good luck!
