Apple keyboard not working with iPad

I recently bought an Apple Bluetooth keyboard to use with my iPad and the first day it worked fine but then the next day it wouldn't work at all except to let me put in my pass code, search things on the iPad, and bring the keyboard up and down with the eject key. I know there weren't any restrictions on the apps because I used it without an issue on Notabilty and Chrome along with others before. I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting and forgetting the keyboard and pairing again but nothing is working. To test it I paired it with my phone and it worked fine so I have to assume its something specific to the iPad. The keyboard is the latest edition and is the one that is compatible with the iPad. If anyone could help it would be really appreciated!

Have you tried resetting the iPad?
Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Numeric Pad on Apple Keyboard not working with 12" PB

Hi, I'm having a problem with my Apple Keyboard and 1.5 GHz PowerBook G4 12". When I attempt to use the numeric keypad on the external keyboard, no numbers are printed displayed. Originally I though the keyboard was broken and had Apple replace it. However, the problem still persists. Any help would be amazingly appreciated.

Ya, I have the same issue. The Clear key is reported to be the numlock but it doesn't help.
The Keyboard Layout shows the keys are being depressed.

Apple TV not working with iPad 2

I am trying to set up 10 iPads on Apple TV at a school in order to use airplay mirroring to show them on the screen but the iPads don't seem to be communicating with Apple TV the are all connected to the schools wireless network

First, check to see if the iPads and the Apple TV are all on the same network subnet. That's necessary for the iPads to be able to locate and connect to the Apple TV. If they are not, you'll either need to get them all onto the same subnet or look into a third-party solution like this one:

Apple tv not working with panosonic TH-50PX75U old.

Apple tv not working with a 3-4 year old Panasonic TH50PX75U tv, works fine on all other tv's in the house. HDMI cables seem to be fine they work with the DVD and DVR. Ratio is set to auto, apple logo on screen when booting up then Goes away. Seen twice for a split,nano second the apple tv menu on screen. Then in upper left corner of tv a grey box appears with HDMI 2 appears. any help would be great... Thanks in advance, Tom

I had a similar issue, without the actual error message. If you can't get it running at all, you will be forced to do what I, and many others have done over the past 24 hours. You can restore your Apple TV to factory settings (you will then have to enter your ID, passwords, etc., to connect everything again--sigh--) by obtianing a Micro-USB cable (found one today at Best Buy for 5 bucks, available other places that sell electronics, etc.) disconnect your Apple TV, and connect it via the micro usb cable (which attaches in the back of the ATV) to your computer, plug the ATV power cord into the wall and open iTUnes. You can click the Apple TV on the left side of iTunes and click restore--it will not take too long on a decent internet connection, and it will automatically install the software update (you have no choice on this, BTW, you can't go back to the previous software, as Apple only supplies the new software online (sadly). Your ATV 3 should work and you can put it back to your TV and re-enter all your info and enjoy the new features. But if you are like me, you won't enjoy AirPlay, something seems to be wrong with that if you use an iPhone or iPad and have updated to IOS7--not sure which is the problem, or both, but be prepared for a little more frustration, but at least your ATV 3 will "work" mostly as it did before.
I hope this helps, it is frustrating, but it is resolveable with a little bit of time--not that I'm happy about it, either.

Polarioid pogo printer not working with ipad and iphone

And I can not believe how that truly *****... I am traveling through the states and bought the pogo to print on the road... Only to find out that it does not work with ipad and does not work with iphone... Unless I jailbreak my phone which I don't really want to do...
Apple wants us to go mobile and clouding and all those things, yet, when we do go mobile and try a mobile life style, we are encountering so much technical crap that we loose the will to live...
I could have spend the hundred dollar for the pogo to have pics printed out in every kiosk in the country...
WWhen is Apple going to come to its senses about little life savers like the pogo and bluetooth???????
Is anyone aware of a work around so I can print on the go? And a solution that does not involve a programmers brain because my single braincell is not working while traveling... It needs to be easy!

To cut through all the rage and anger and "knowing" who wanted what, the Pogo has been out for a year or so, well before Mr. Jobs' passing, and Apple did not make any mention of supporting printing on anything other than Airprint compatible printers.
Since Airprint is a Wi-Fi/ethernet thing, Polaroid would have to make a significant redesign to the Pogo. Considering that the first iPhones only supported Bluetooth headsets and Apple didn't provide any indications about increasing Bluetooth support, Polaroid's decision for the Pogo to be Bluetooth was obviously not with iOS devices in mind. This is why initially Polaroid had links on the FAQ to tell Apple to add Bluetooth printing support (so that in effect, asking Apple to pay for the expenses to make the iPhone compatible with the Pogo, rather than Polaroid paying to make the Pogo compatible with iOS.)
I come from a photograpic background. I got the Pogo as soon as it came out. I quite literally was on Polaroid's website every day checking to see when I could order it. Having "instant" sticker prints is wonderful at family picnics with all the kids. While it would be great to be able to get Pogo prints from anyone's iPhone, I stopped holding my breath when Apple announced Airprint, which came well after the Pogo was released. So I took that as the sign that it was probably never going to happen. (I knew that the Pogo wasn't iOS compatible when I bought it so not having compatiblity is not a deal-breaker for me. But, yes, it would be nice.)
I now use a Polaroid Z340 since it's a 14 megapixel camera that prints larger 3x4 Zink prints. Polaroid makes the GL10, which is basically a Pogo using the same printer as the Z340. But it's still Bluetooth only. So while I sympathize with the desire to have a really compact portable printer like the Pogo, iOS compatibility just does not seem to be on the horizon. IMHO, it would be more realistic that Polaroid create an app to do Bluetooth printing. But considering Polaroid's financial issues, I'm not holding my breath

Why is Emoji Keyboard not working with iOS7....??? Is there any setting which I am missing? Can anyone help

Why is Emoji Keyboard not working with iOS7....??? Is there any setting which I am missing? Can anyone help

Yes. you should keep your media in iTunes, and indeed you should also keep a backup of your library as well. if you have the device set up for manual management then the content would remain on it when deleted from the library, but you would have no way to restore the device if there was a problem.

Av adapter not working with ipad 2, please advice

I bought an av adapter 2012 release, is not working with my ipad 3g att ios version 4.3.5 i tried reset, changing the widescreen button multiple times no luck no video mirroring or sound. When i plug there is a msg displayed: accessory not supported.
I have 2 questions :
1) is this a ios version ? There a lot people complaining that after updates the adapter stopped working, if it is is this version w abug?
2) can i update the ios to 5.x not the ios 6 or i m forced to update to the last version ?

See the following where it states the requirement of iOS 5.1 or later (in the features box)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4108?viewlocale=en_US
And yes, you should be able to update to iOS 5.1 without going directly to iOS 6. You need to locate the correct .ipsw update file for your iPad 2 and manually install it through iTunes. Google "ios ipsw 5.1.1" for links to the iOS 5.1.1 files.

Apple keyboard not working w Iogear KVMP 1644 switch

I have a new Apple keyboard that I am attempting to integrate it into my music setup. It's an Iogear GSC1644 4-Port Dual View Dual Link DVI KVMP Switch with Audio. I have a newer (2012) Apple keyboard that I plugged into my setup and it does not work. It is the same model A1243 as my 2008 Apple keyboard which still works except for 2 keys, the 'Z' and the 'option' keys. I plug it in and nothing - it's like it is not seen. HOWEVER >>>> when I plug it indirectly to the computer - no problem. These Apple keyboards look identical, they are the same model. I have changed USB cables at every connection - I cannot get it to work. I powered down the Iogear GCS1644 per directions from their support desk: this included disconnecting every device and unplugging the power supply and leaving it unplugged for at least 10 minutes. I left it unplugged for over an hour. Then plugged the 4 computers back in, powered on the unit, and only powered on one computer - it still did not work. The older Apple keyboard works perfectly - nothing changed. I am at a loss.
What can this be? Is there a major difference between the two Apple Keyboards even though they carry the same model number? And - barring a quick and simple fix - are there any other older Apple Keyboards out there? If not Apple, are there any other keyboards with a similar small footprint like the Apple that might work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Are you connecting the keyboard to the keyboard-specific USB port on the back of the unit, as opposed to the front port or the hub on the back?
I have a 4-port DVI IOgear KVM. I have never had a problem with the keyboard not being recognized, although booting through the KVM doesn't allow use of the various "boot" keys (option, S, T, etc.). I have to plug a keyboard directly into the computer for that. The other issue I have had is that the front USB port was always somewhat unreliable, and after a year or two just seemed to conk out.
I am using an older Kensington Slim type keyboard that was discontinued several years ago. I haven't tried the Apple keyboard that came with my 2010 Mac Pro, but will try to do so, just to see if there is an issue.
There may very well be some slight difference between the 2008 and the newer keyboards. With luck, someone here will know.
Is your Mac Pro a 2013 model?

Apple keyboard not working after installing new monitor

Yesterday I installed a new monitor - HP EliteDisplay E231i - to my Late 2013 Mac Pro. Previously I had been using super old apple monitors. My apple keyboard was working great - I had it plugged into the new monitor itself. I shut down the computer last night. This morning, the Mac Pro won't recognize my keyboard no matter what I do. I tried plugging it into every possible USB port on the tower and on the monitor. Restarted it after moving it each time. I'm currently typing with a Microsoft keyboard, which is working fine. I tried the keyboard in 2 other laptops (macbook pro) and it works fine. Is this a bug specific to the monitor?? I've been running Yosemite 10.10.2 since the last update, and I've had no issues till I switched the monitor out and tried to start the computer after shutdown.
Details: Mac Pro (Late 2013), Yosemite 10.10.2, 32 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC, AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB
Anyone know what's going on?

APPLE mouse & keyboard not working with Windows (Bootcamp)

I installed Leopard and Windows XP on my Mac Pro. The installation went very smoothly. Only problem I have is that my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on Windows (frozen) although they work fine on Leopard. I tried a Logitech wireless trackball and it works fine on both Windows and Leopard. Any suggestion?

Thanks. I upgraded from Tiger and downloaded Bootcamp from Leopard Installation disc ( I did not have a beta version ). I then installed Windows XP SP2 ( brand new, just bought for that purpose ). Wonder if Mac wireless keyboard and mouse are compatible with Window. Everything else work beyond my expectation.
