Can the "Apple iPad Keyboard Dock" unlock an iOS device?

I have a iOS device where the touch screen isn't working any more after some water damage, and even replacing the front display doesn't help. It's apparently a problem on the circuitboard that I cannot get fixed.
I only need to be able to unlock it so that I can connect it to iTunes and back it up, so I wonder if this "Apple iPad Keyboard Dock" can be used to unlock the device.
Does someone own this keyboard and could try this? Can you unlock the iPad or iPhone and enter a passcode after pressing the wake button, without having the swipe on the screen?

No.  The iPad Keyboard Dock connects to the iPad through 30 pin connector on the iPad.  Your PC wouldn't have that connector.
Instead, you should just get a USB keyboard, which basic models are often just $20.

  • Apple iPad Keyboard Dock or Apple Wireless Keyboard

    I have the iPad 1 (the original one) and I would like to ask if the Apple iPad Keyboard Dock is better than the Apple Wireless Keyboard. Thank you

    The keyboard with dock probably doesn't require batteries, but is a bit more bulky. It also doesn't suffer from the key stroke reppppppeat like the BT version does once in a while in some apps. However, I opted for the BT version.

  • Can i use the old iPad keyboard dock for iPad2?

    can i use the old iPad keyboard dock for iPad2?

    Instead of inserting a ruler behind the iPad, I have found that putting the Keyboard Dock on an incline plane also works.   Once I found the appropriate angle of the incline, then I cut a piece of wood with that same angle, painted it white, andglued the Keyboard Dock to the piece of wood.
    Now I don't have to insert a pad or ruler between the iPad and the Dock.  The iPad now leans forward to the correct angle.
    The raised angle also helps  me type better due to the tilt.

  • Apple iPad Keyboard Dock - Portuguese???

    Anybody knows if it will be the iPad Keyboard Dock in Portuguese???

    I don't believe so. However, there are Bluetooth keyboards that will work with iPad. Just make sure it has the Mac Portuguese layout shown here.

  • Can the apple wireless keyboard work with Apple TV

    I just set up my ATV and was wondering if it can recognize an apple wireless keyboard. If so, how would I set that up?

    No, this is not currently possible.
    If you have an iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad you could use Apple's Remote app.

  • HT200241 Is their a way to cache the ios8 file when using the apple configurator to load MDM on ios devices iphones/ipods

    I am loading mobile iron mdm solution on my devices and the configurator is checking and installing ios8 on devices even if they are already up to date and its taking 30 minutes per device. Is their a way to cache the ios8 file so this process is shortened?

    I'm not gonna do a complete reset because I shouldn't have to . Apple put out a very buggy update .
    I am not ranting about your suggestion , which is fine , but these are ridiculous issues for an operating system that been out for years .

  • Lightning to 30-pin Adapter works great with iPad Keyboard Dock

    In case anyone was wondering, the Lightnng to 30-pin Adapter works great with the original iPad Keyboard Dock and an iPhone 5. In fact it is better than the 4S was, as that tended to pop out. The Lightning adapter stays in place, and there is plenty of support in the back plastic to keep the iPhone in place, with any tiny stress happening at the Dock connector end: the Lightning connector itself seems very solid indeed. All the keys work, and charging is fine.
    (In answer to the implicit question: my employer blocks email at work on its systems, and it's convenient to have the keyboard hold the phone in place, and also charge it, which is the problem with the Bluetooth keyboard.)

    Might be a question better asked of the manufacturer of the iHome device.

  • Does iPad Keyboard Dock Work With iPhone?

    Does the new iPad Keyboard Dock work with the iPhone? If you put an iPhone 3GS into it, will you be able to use the physical keyboard to type on the iPhone's screen?

    I have an iPad keyboard dock that I used with the orignal iPad.  Tonight I found it in a dusty closet and wondered if it would work with my iphone 4s.  Plugged it which wasn't particularly easy but when I got the angle right, it worked as I was able to start a message in Notes.  But it did pop up a message after exiting Notes that this device is not compatible with the iphone or something to that effect.  I did not have the dock connected to a power supply so I don't know if it will permit typing and charging.  But it will allow you to type on the iPhone 4s at least in Notes:) 

  • I just bought an ipad 2 and the iPad keyboard dock and can't get them to work.  What do I need to do?

    I just bought an iPad 2 and a iPad keyboard dock and can't get them to work together.  What do I need to do?

    Hello,
    You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
    If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
    Best of luck

    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.

    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • Can i Use The Apple Wired Keyboard With Camera Connector Kit

    Can i Use The Apple Wired Keyboard With Camera Connector Kit

    People report it is still possible to use a wired USB keyboard with the CCK, if you use a powered USB hub to get around the "not enough power" error message.  (I have done this with an older Apple USB keyboard my non-jailbroken iPad1 on iOS 4.3.3.)  Normally, powered USB hubs have a AC power adapter so you lose portability unless you can find a battery powered USB hub.  At this point, the (in)convinience of the USB hub becomes an issue, depending on what you get.
    And wired USB keyboard were never supported for the iPad.  So there's no guarantee that it will continue to work with future iPad updates from Apple.  So best to go with a Bluetooth keyboard unless you have a specific USB keyboard that you "must" use.  If you have all the equipment already, I say give it a try.  But I would not recommend trying a USB keyboard if you have to purchase anything.

  • 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.

    <edited>
    There's a vlc streamer app in the app store, but you would need to also install the streamer helper on the device where the movies reside. This works between my macbook and my ipad, but if you cannot access the external drive and install the helper file, then probably not
