Forward and Back Delete Keys on Wireless Keyboard (short)?

Hello, All:
My new Apple wireless keyboard (short version) has only the delete key on it. Is there a way to program the additional delete key, allowing me to delete in the right-hand direction? The current delete key deletes only the in the left-hand direction.
Thank you,
Dean

I've just been setting up a new Wireless Keyboard for a client using a MacBook with Tiger - on which the Fn+Delete combination works - and have found that it doesn't work on her Wireless Keyboard like everyone says it should! It just gives an error beep. Help!

How to repair broken delete key on wireless keyboard?

My wireless keyboard has a stuck delete key that will not come back up ( releasing the key). I have taken it off but am not sure if there should be a spring or if the 2 clips under key are in the wrong position when placed onto the key's slot. Any one familiar with keyboards?

Hi,
You can forward delete by pressing down the Fn (Function) key and then afterwards (while holding down the Fn key) pressing the Backspace key. Apple does not include a dedicated Delete key because for most applications on Mac OS X, the backspace key does what a dedicated Delete key would usually do; for example, in the Pages application, deleting a table or an image in a document.
For a list of keyboard shortcuts, such as screenshots, etc., see: http://homepage.mac.com/frakes/MOSXPT/content/keyboard.html (someone's website I found doing a quick Google search for "mac keyboard shortcuts").

On off button for wireless keyboard.

Hi out there,
I just bought my first IPad and am learning about it. A couple of questions... How do I write letters separately from email and store them?
Secondly I bought a wireless keyboard at the same time. I my Be stupid, but cannot locate the on/off button for the keyboard.
Thanks anyone.

You can use the built-in Notes app to write and store. You can get more sophisticated writing apps from the App Store. Browse a list here: http://appshopper.com/search/?search=Text+writer
On the Apple wireless keyboard, press the right end of the battery tube to turn the keyboard on and off. Unscrew the left end cap to replace the batteries.

Replacement enter/return button for wireless keyboard

Hello,
I have an Apple Wireless Keyboard [MC184LL/B] and the enter/return button has broken off and will not reattach. I can see that the small clips on the back are damaged. Is it somehow possible to get a replacement button?

Since that is actually an Apple Mac product ,suggest you contact either an Apple Store genius bar or an Apple Authorised service provider

Keyboard delete button and alv response

Hello friends,
I have a problem with editable alv.
In alv grid if i select a line and press the delete button on the keyboard, then the data is getting deleted.
i do not want that to happen.
how can i stop it from happening?
Note: I am not talking about the delete icon which alv provides. I mean the DELETE BUTTON ON THE KEYBOARD

I know what you mean, but surely when you are typing it makes sense to have a backspace key and not delete as the cursor is ahead of the error.
Also, a simple tap on the screen at the place you want to edit also means that you can position the cursor after the error. Then, again, you can use the backspace key.
Personally, I have never felt the need for a delete key, but you should leave feedback for Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
I presume you are aware that if you hold your finger on the screen that you can move and select text anywhere on the screen.

Which is the delete key on a wireless keyboard

How do I "delete" using a wireless keyboard (no delete key) and why doesn't apple inform customers when they buy ?

Depends which keyboard you have. See screenshot.
In my UK keyboard it is the X under F13.

FN key not working on Apple Wireless Keyboard

EDIT: Found the culprit: USB Overdrive was taking over the external keyboard. After disabling USB Overdrive for the keyboard, the FN key started working again.
I have Macbook Air (Mid 2013) connected to a Cinema Display and Apple Wireless Keyboard. MBA is running the latest Yosemite (10.10).
I tried using FN + Delete on the wireless keyboard to forward delete but it didn't work, it just deleted. I tried other keyboard shortcuts that require the use of FN key, and none of them work either. But when I try these directly on the MBA's keyboard, the FN key works perfectly there, just not on the wireless keyboard.
I've removed the bluetooth keyboard and tried reconnecting, restarting computer, login out and back in. Nothing works. Anyone have any ideas?

I disabled "Any Keyboard, Any Application" and "Any Other, Any Application" but I still could not use my Fn key on my Apple Wireless Keyboard. Uninstalling (removing the driver) restored Fn key functionality. In addition downgrading from 3.1 to 3.0.2 on Yosemite also solved this issue.
Did you actually try what you wrote?
I should also note that the Fn key on my rMBP's internal keyboard works with 3.1, oddly enough, but the Apple Wireless Keyboard's Fn key does not.

Under "History," a specific website with 6 line entries would not respond to the delete button. Is this a dangerous website?

I delete websites I visit in "History" line by line, and I save the ones I find valuable for viewing in the future. Last week I visited a new website and checked out a few articles. A few days later I was deleting that day's line items I did not want to revisit. This particular website would not let me delete any of it's line items, no matter what. It was Just this website. Never have I encountered this problem. I had to go into Firefox and delete this particular website under "Forget this Site." Any answer as to why?

<blockquote>
That is how I delete individual websites from history, what steps were you taking to delete the site entry?
</blockquote>
I usually just highlight websites under a specific day of "history" and hit the delete button on my keyboard. Gone.
When that didn't work for the one website, I tried right clicking that line, and a variety of other things. The specific website just would not go away. I just did not want to delete 7 days of history at one swipe of the delete key. Finally I went out to Firefox's 'Getting Started,' and in the left column was 'Privacy & Security Settings.' There is a section under Privacy & Security Settings called Delete Browsing Search and Download History. I read those items to see if there was something I was missing. One was called "How do I remove a single website from my history?" Followed instructions and just that website popped up. Highlighted those items from that site and deleted. Gone. Still do not know why the website would not delete in the first place. Makes a paranoid more paranoid about websites watching you.

I want to delete some songs from iTunes but no delete button appears when i right click or when i try to delete it from edit. what can i do?

I want to delete some songs from iTunes but no delete button appears when i right click or when i try to delete it from edit. what can i do?

If the songs are downloaded into your iTunes library (i.e. they don't have the cloud icon against them) then you should be able to delete them by selecting them and pressing the delete button on your keyboard.
If they do have the cloud icon then they are in the cloud - you can turn off the showing of all icloud music via the 'Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases' on the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma), or you can hide individual tracks and/or albums so that they don't show in the cloud : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.

Where is delete button?

I looked through at help screens and FAQs. My delete button is no where. How do I get it back?

You are right, I don't see a delete button either. But if you want to delete a mail, I assume this is what you mean, you can do either:
* Use the Delete button of your keyboard,
* right-click on the mail you want to delete, select "Delete Message".
If you really want the delete button back on your toolbar, you might want to [[How to Customize Toolbars|customize your toolbar(s)]] and drag the Delete button to a toolbar.

I am currently typing this with an USB Hewlett-Packard Keyboard, which my iMac Mid 2011 doesn't like.
Is there anyone that can tell me how to fix this, perhaps someone running Lion, so I don't have to look up the differences on how to do stuff.
Also It would be really helpful If someone posted the Microsoft Windows-OS X Keyboard keys conversions!
Thanks.

Wow, thats insane.
Firstly, go into System Preferences > Keyboard > check "Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar".
Now in the top menu bar you should see a new square icon with an asterisk in it, click and select "Show Keyboard Viewer". You can use this this graphical keyboard to input just as a regular keyboard, and also see which modifer keys correspond as you hold them down.
Now, I'm guessing whatever is wrong its probably not with OSX if you can use your HP.
But in any case you should disconnect any peripherals and restart your iMac, IF you don't have automatic login turned on I suggest you do beforehand, just in case the HP bombs out too.
Now after restart, delete your Apple wireless keyboard from Bluetooth Preferences device list, and then turn your apple keyboard off by pressing and holding the power until the green light goes off, then single press to turn back on. Now click + in the device list, or "Set Up Bluetooth Devise" from the Bluetooth menu bar icon - see if you can re-pair it and test it out.
If that doesn't work, its probably hardware and you should take it back to the Apple store.
Good luck man.

My apple wireless keyboard is just over a year old, but I find that delete ( backspace ) button no longer functions, has anyone else experienced this problem, do I need to have it looked at by an apple technician ?

My apple wireless keyboard is just over a year old, but Ifind the delete ( spacebar ) button does not function, does any one know if this is a common fault, do I need to have an apple technician to take a look at it?

It appears to be out of date so far as the warranty is concerned. There may have been some minor detritus slipped down the side of the key. See if you can find a buush with stiff but fine hair. Perhaps a toothbrush. Then brush around the key. It is possible to remove the key if you are very careful and that would make it easier but you have to be very careful. You are sure there hasn't been any liquid spilt; even the smallest amount can cause a drama..

Where is the delete button on my wireless keyboard?

Hi
I think that I may have exhausted every possibility but can anyone tell me if there is, in fact, a delete button on my Mac wireless european keyboard? I have a double width backspace button where the delete should be but it only works as delete in certain applications. It doesn't work as a delete button for instance in iTunes. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks

On an iPad this function is still one apple is to provide. On your Mac wireless keyboard it is the usual hold down the fn key and the tap the delete key.
