Are there alternate numeric keys on the wireless keyboard ?

Are there alternate numeric keys on the Apple wireless keyboard?

No. There's a third party numeric keypad on the Apple site, or the wired keyboard has a numeric keypad.

  • How about Hot Keys for the Wireless Keyboard?

    Hello all.
    Been using the iPad 2 for about 2 weeks since I got it.  Had to "ditch" the iPad Keyboard Dock and use a regular Apple Wireless Keyboard.  The good thing is now using the TwelveSouth iPad Stand, I can orientate the iPad to any of the two positions I want.
    But I miss the special hot keys on Keyboard Dock, namely the Home and Lock keys.  Kind of inconvenient pushing the Home button on the iPad 2, especially having to double-press for multitasking.
    If only the iPad's iOS allows some sort of configuration for hot keys on the wireless keyboard.  I do notice that the F5 and F6 are empty.
    Cheers

    I would only hope that the keyboard would turn off, not just when it isn't pairing with the computer, but for the keyboard that is paired (mine is) it would be best if it turned off after a period of no use. Here is what one man, not an Apple tech, said about the A1314 keyboard he was selling on ebay:
    "The keyboard automatically powers down when you're not using it and turns on instantly as soon as you start typing. This intelligent power management means you'll get up to nine months of battery life based on average usage patterns. It also has an on/off switch for when you're away from your computer for a long time."
    This doesn't indicate how many minutes of no use it needs before it 'powers down' (doesn't sound as good as really being turned off) and it also doesn't address the issue of knowing if your keyboard is on or off via the power button.
    Even my dog electric training collar blinks twice when it is turned on and blinks three times when it is turned off. The Apple keyboard needs two indicator lights, one to tell you if it is searching for pairing and the other strictly as an on off indicator. I'm not going to loose any sleep over this, but it does seem like somebody was sleeping in the design department as this keyboard is really cool, but it doesn't convey the basic on/off information to the user.

  • Is there a function key on Apple Wireless Keyboard to mimic the roundel key (home)?

    While the cheap bluetooth keyboard has a home key, alas, Apple Wireless Keyboard doesn't have it to work well with iOS devices.  Can it be programmed into F5 or F6 then?

    Good luck on the switch. I know I initially struggled with the layout change of many things. If I could give one recommendation/word of advice it would be:
    "Learn shortcut keys."
    As a Windows user of 15 years, I had become reliant on my mouse (and the occasional alt/tab keys) that I never really explored the world of keyboard shortcuts.
    After taking several weeks to finally get the hang of all the various keyboard shortcuts I zip through things now, almost rarely use my mouse except when an ease to use (or remember) keyboard shortcut is available.
    Good links already posted above, just more of my 2 cents.

  • Pressing certain keys on the wireless keyboard makes other keys appear.

    Last week, actually the night Jobs died (relevant?!), my wireless keyboard started acting weird. I didn't spill anything on it, the batteries are new, and all my software is up to date. This is taking forever to type because of these issues:
    Hitting enter produces a forward slash
    I can't make a question mark, capital h or lowercase y without copy and pasting from another source
    Shifting puts a capital Y in front of everything YLike YThis
    The spacebar works but also throws in a right bracket
    YSo ]mY ]tYPing ]ends ]up ]looking ]like ]this.
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

  • HT4718 Are there alternate ways to boot in recovery mode?

    The original problem: 2007 era Macbook Pro display goes bad. 
    Solution: We bought a new macbook pro.  It was time for an upgrade.
    The opportunity: We decided to connect the old pro to an external display and use it in clamshell mode and set it up for the kids to use. 
    I attempted to delete my wife's user account, yet the machine still shows 88 gigs used when clearly the two new users I set up (one administrator) are not using so much. I thought if I could reinstall OSX that my problems would be solved.  Not only am I not worried about losing data in a reinstall - I want to. 
    The current problem: I cannot boot this mac into recovery mode while it is in Clamshell. 
    I am using a wireless apple keypoard, but can really only boot up using the restart option as the power button is closed up in the clamshelled laptop.  But when I do that it appears to me that the wireless keyboard is not connecting in time for the recovery mode to catch.
    I thought the simple solution would be to open up the old beast and use the actual power button.  Good news is that when I do this, it must boot into recover mode.  Bad news is that evidently recovery mode does not allow mirroring of the display.  So I cannot actually see my recovery mode.  My external display is simply a secondary display - greyed out, and all I can do is wave the cursor back and forth.
    So:  Are there any alternate ways to boot into recovery mode?

    Have you followed these instructions?

  • The escape key in my wireless keyboard stopped working

    Dear list members, suddenly, the ESC key in my wireless keyboard stopped working. As it looks normal and all other keys are working properly, might it be a configuration problem? Could you please help me? I'm working on an iMac 27 late 2012 running OSX 10.10.2. Thank you.

    Please reset the SMC, this may take 2-3 attempts and post back with the results.

  • Cleaned the keys on my wireless keyboard, 5 keys not working.

    Cleaned the keys on my wireless keyboard with rubbing alcohol. Now my number 2 key, w, s, x and caps lock keys won't work. I copy and paste these right now. I did notice the cotton balls were saturated and some seeped out, but I didn't notice that my keys didn't work till 2 days later. I did leave my keyboard in the sun to see if it helped for about 45 min. It's still not working. Any suggestions? Hope There is a way to save my keyboard. 

    I did notice the cotton balls were saturated and some seeped out,
    Never clean a keyboard with rubbing alcohol and never leave the keyboard in the sun, or any Apple products for that matter.
    You may need to purchase a new keyboard.
    In the future, follow the instructions here >  How to clean Apple products

  • Are there any free apps with the same app iPhoto?

    Are there any free apps with the same app iPhoto?

    Do you want to get iPhoto for free, or are you looking for supplemental apps that are working well with iPhoto?
    I do not know of any free third party replacement for iPhoto. For add-ons browse the Store - there are some nice camera apps, image editors,  and panorama stitchers, some are free (cam wow, pic collage, Photo splash, pixlr-o-matic).

  • Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express?  I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections

    Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express?  I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections. For whatever reason when I have my express extend my wifi at home the download speed from just the express is absolutely terrible, drops to about 1.5 mb compared to when it's on the extremes part of the network the speed goes up to 50-75mb. These terrible download speed really only affects the iPhones as my MacBook Pro usually gets the good speed no matter where it is. I don't believe there is anything wrong with my phone because if I am in the part of the house that uses just the extreme the download speeds on the iphone goes up to 50-75mb. As a note I have an AirPort Extreme on the top floor of my house (second floor) that's where my modem is located. On the first floor that's where one airport express is located. I also have another airport express in the basement that is accessed by my landlord. Any thoughts on how to fix this would be helpful.

    It appears that your networking goals with the AirPort Express is to use it as a wireless Ethernet bridge instead of using it to extend the wireless range of your AirPort Extreme. The latter requires that the Express Wi-Fi radios be enabled.
    If you intended to use the Express as a wireless bridge, you just need to reconfigure it to "Join a wireless" network instead of "Extend a wireless network."

    In an extended network, the placement of the extending base station is critical as it can only extend the wireless network at the bandwidth at which it receives it.
    Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on optimal base station placement.

  • I have a website that I want to save my login details but there is no "key" in the top left-hand corner. How do I get around this? I am using version 35.

    This particular website previously had a "wrong" password. No matter how many times I changed the password, the website failed to issue a "Changed password" update. So I removed it altogether. Now the website doesn't appear in any of the Options screens and there is no "key" in the left hand corner so I am unable to save either login or password.
