Compatible Multi-Media Keyboards that work with LiveDock & Arc S

I've just bought a LiveDock and a Trust multimedia keyboard (model 15035-02, picture below) with a trackball mouse built-in to go with my new Arc S phone.  When you plug the USB dongle for the keyboard into the LiveDock, it sees it and comes up on the TV screen, but no cursor appears and no keys function on the keyboard.  I can't take the keyboard back because I will get charged a 20% restocking fee, but don't fancy buying any more, just to find they aren't compatible.
Is there a list of compatible multi-media keyboards that work with the LiveDock?  I bought the phone and the LiveDock primerily to use it next to the TV for odd browsing and would love a combined Keyboard and mouse to make it easier.
Could it be I've not configured something right?  Is there a menu I've missed?
Cheers
Steve

Hi antonisk,
As I mentioned above, the Logitech K400 is superb for the job if you can purchase one.  It is light and really easy to use with the phone and LiveDock.
I think Sony Ericsson should be more specific on the website about what works with their LiveDock.  It should give at least a few compatible keyboards in the description and not just wait for people to buy the product and then spend time and money finding what will work with it.
They make great costly videos showing the customer that the LiveDock can be connected to a keyboard, mouse and games controller, but don't tell us which ones to go out and buy, if you want to take up this option. 
I would have thought with these options being the main reason why the LiveDock was manufactured, that they would have spent a little time finding which devices actually work with it and not just waiting for people like myself to have to trawl the internet and worst still buy products that aren't compatible.

  • Keyboards that work with MACS?

    Hey,
    Just wondering what everyone is using for a keyboard? I had a really cool SAITEK backlit keyboard for my PC, but ditched it when i got my IMAC. THey currently do not make a Mac version, so was wondering if anyone knows of some other cool keyboards, would be helpful......
    Thanks,

    USB keyboards that are designed for Windows should work fine on a Mac, unless it has special buttons and controls that require a custom driver.
    The following companies make nice Mac keyboards that I've tried out.
    Macally - http://www.macally.com/
    Kensington - http://us.kensington.com/html/5463.html
    Matias - http://matias.ca/products/index.php
    I'm sure there are others.
    I use an old Apple ADB keyboard (Apple Extended Keyboard II) using an iMate adapter from Griffin Technology to go drom ADB to USB. I just like the feel.

  • Can anyone recommend a NAS media server that works with iTunes 10.5?

    I currently have an Iomega Home Media Server but have given up on Iomega ever updating their firmware to work with the latest version of iTunes. Any suggestions for a suitable (not Iomega) replacement would be gratefully received.

    non out of the box
    the apple programs support accessing from shared itunes lib but only true ones even nas's which say they work like shared libs don't work
    some nas like my sonology have apps for ios which allow me to play the media from them
    and general upnp apps are also supported but you need to use 3th party apps

  • Is there a keyboard that works?

    I run both Leopard and Windows on the iMac and I use both regularly. The keyboard issues are about to run me nuts! I am sorry but I love my big, natural microsoft keyboard. It works fine but of course no shortcuts work with the Apple side. I sold the wireless keyboard that came with it when AppleCare told me that it does now work with Windows. (I thought it was rather odd they didn't bother tell me that when I bought it!) If I get an Apple keyboard then none of the windows shortcuts will work. Has anyone found a solution?? I just want a keyboard that works with both and by that I mean the shortcuts work. The option, command, control all that works like it should. If they make the machine they should create the keyboard. --Frustrated

    Just use the Microsoft keyboard that you like. There nothing wrong with that. The Mac mini is even sold with no keyboard and mouse so that new Windows-to-Mac switchers can use their existing keyboard and mouse. I use an old-style Apple ADB keyboard (through an ADB-USB adapter) because I like the feel of the keys. It has the standard extended layout and F-keys, which is all you need.
    (I also use a inexpensive Microsoft optical mouse - two buttons and a scroll wheel. All you need.)
    As for the keyboard shortcuts, the ones assigned to the F-keys still work. For example, pressing and holding the F12 key should eject the optical disc. A quick press of F12 is Dashboard. F9, F10, and F11 are the Exposé commands. You can set the F-key commands in System Preferences +Keyboard & Mouse+ pane +Keyboard Shortcuts+ tab.

  • I just upgraded to os 10.9.5. When I try to open iPhoto, I am told that the version I have(9.3), is not compatible with the os. But it came with it when I upgraded. What do I have to do to get an iPhoto that works with 10.9.5? TIA

    I just upgraded to os 10.9.5 on my 15 " macbook pro from os 10.7.5. When I try to open iPhoto, I get the message that it is not compatible with the os. How can that be??? It came with the upgrade. It says the version of iPhoto is 9.3. How do I get an iPhoto that works with os 10.9.5? TIA

    This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks.  It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgradeto iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
    Note 1:  every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
    Note 2:  If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

    I bought an epson xp650 a couple of months ago and cannot fault it. It does everything I require and it is the wifi model so I can print directly from my ipad/iphone. Not sure if you are asking about the colour of the unit or just to be able to print black and white, Obviously all printers will print black and white but just to give you a little more info the printer I bought is the white version and it looks really nice sat next to my imac 27''
    Hope this helps.

  • IHome iConnect Multi Media Keyboard for Mac

    I have an iHome iConnect Multi Media Keyboard for Mac.  It was working great until an Apple update didn't like it anymore.  It locked up my computer and because I didn't know what was wrong cost me $300 to fix.  I've contacted iHome, but gotten no where with them.  This happened last summer!  No one seems to want to take responsibility for the fact that I have a $100 keyboard I can't use.  Anybody else run into this?  If so what did you do?

  • 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:) 

  • A UPS model that works with Mac Native software to do a graceful shutdown and automatic restart during a power failure.

    I've tried 3 UPS's (2 APC and one TripLite) that state they are OSX compatible, however, they do not fully respond to the native osx setting in (system Preferences/ Energy Saver/ UPS/Start up automatically after a power failure). This is what happens:
    During a power outage, the OS does a graceful shutdown, but does not reboot when power is restored. 
    Apparently, the UPS is not notified to turn off during the shut down process. The power (on-Off-On) cycle is required by the mac to restart.
    Trip lite tech support says they have software that works with Windows and linux to do this, but not mac.
    I've tried two older APC UPS's, One Smart UPS1500 and a Back-UPS 1500 with the same result on two different servers and one iMac.
    At this point I'm looking for a make and model of a UPS that does work. If anyone can verify a make and model that actually does this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
    Its a simple test, just pull the plug on your UPS, wait for the system to shut down, and then plug the UPS back in. The system should reboot.

    Many of the CyberPower UPS units are compatible. Checkout the home solutions on this page: http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/products/ups-systems.html

    Before some Macromedia employee says, "When there is a retail

    anyone can Buy for their AMD64/EM64T PCs only, There will be no

  • Is there a driver for Windows 8.1 that works with HP Scanjet 5500c

    Is there a driver for Windows 8.1 that works with HP Scanjet 5500c
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I afraid you will not be able to use the scanner with Windows 8.1, it is not compatible with the OS.
    Regarding VueScan, I afraid it would not be an option as well, the application only support your scanners if there are drivers for the OS:
    If there isn't an HP scanner driver at www.hp.com for your operating system, then unfortunately VueScan won't work with this scanner.
    You may try using the Vista drivers by running the drivers using the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter as listed below.. select Not Listed from the programs list and browse to the installation file for Vista:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03401961&lc=en#N63
    The installation file for Vista can be downloaded below:
