DELETE X KEY MISSING FROM WIRELESS KEYBOARD

i have a full size mac keyboard that has 2 delete keys. one top right and one
in the middle panel that has delete with a right pointing arrow with an 'x' inside of the arrow.
this 2nd delete button has functionality in various programs. the imac comes with a smaller
wireless keyboard with only the first delete button. is there a command to duplicate the
functionality of the 2nd delete button....such as delete + ?

absolutely no FN key bottom left.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to Selectively Delete ONE Key Figure from Cube....

    Hi:
    On a Daily basis (Via Process Chain), I need to do the following:
    1.  DELETE Single Key Figure from my planning cube.  When the "PYMNT DATE" is greater than System Date, then delete the
         key Figure.
    2.  Once Deleted, LOAD the same Single Key Figure from another cube when the PYMNT DATE is GT  System Date. 
    How can I do this in a Program.  What would be the code for this?  Need help with ABAP.
    Thanks in advance.....  PBSW

  • The arrow keys on my wireless keyboard no longer scroll.

    The arrow keys on my wireless keyboard no longer respond or scroll. They will page down with the fn/command key, but do not respond by themselves. How can I fix this? This is with an iMac, 10.7.5. Thanks..

    I'm having similar issues with the wireless keyboard, the brightness buttons aren't working and Apple can't seem to fix the issue. They replaced the keyboard for me and the initially worked but now they aren't and this was replaced today.
    Can you please let me know how you fixed the f1 and f2 keys? Everything else works for me...

  • 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.

  • 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

  • TS3048 Key sticking on Wireless Keyboard

    The / key on my wireless keyboard either doesnt work or comes on and gets stuck on. I have tried to change the key repeat and delay until repeat settings, changed batteries, tried it with different computers and the same issue continues. Any clues??

    Sounds like a physical issue with the keyboard.  I'd take it to apple if still under warranty.

  • 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.

  • Trouble with keys on apple wireless keyboard and MBP

    I have attached my Apple wireless keyboard to my MBP and I want to use it with the onboard screen. It properly synced, and I know it reads the keyboard because the F keys work, and the delete button works, and it even can wake the computer from sleep mode. However the problem is quite simple, the alpha keys do not work. I can turn up my brightness, or volume cycle through my "spaces" on leopard but am still unable to type. I have looked all over for other cases of this and can not find it. Is it possible that the apple wireless MUST be used with an external monitor only? I have not attempted that yet because I have been away from my studio for a few weeks.
    If anyone could shed some light on this situation it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You.

    The "wireless mouse/keyboard firmware update 1.1" is for the old white plastic wireless mice and keyboards , Sean. Is the one you are trying to use one of these, or is it one of the aluminium ones?
    If it is the aluminium one, then the update you might need is Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0 - http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/aluminumkeyboardfirmwareupdate10.html
    None of the updates should be needed to prevent the sort of problem you report though.
    Is this keyboard newly purchased, or one that you have had for a while and that ahs worked in the past? It may simply be defective.
    The only other thing I can think of, apart from conflict with a third party keyboard driver or the like, is a corrupted system file of some kind, in which case an "archive and install" of the OS might be needed to fix it I'm afraid.
    Cheers

  • Adding missing keyfunctions wireless keyboard

    I bought a wireless keyboard and much to my surprise some functions ( keys ) seem to missing.
    FYI my keyboard has the azerty lay out.
    Missing keys are,as far as i found out yet: square brackets (for loading previous and next pages in safari eg)
    the spanish tinde and one of which I don't know the name,looks like a capital i (displayed) and often used with grep in commandline,a vertical stripe so to say.
    Is there anyway I can assign these functions to other keys?
    I really want to use the keyboard as much as possible....
    Regards,
    daxer.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Okay now I feel stupid.
    It appears these functions are assigned to keys but there is no mention at the keys itself,eg key 5 als has ( as it says but pressing alt+5 gives { and alt+shift + 5 [ these last two arent marked on the keys surface though.
    I got the reply from another board and thought I would post it here just in case anyone else has the same question/issue.
    Never even considered of pressing alt+ shift+key only alt or shift…
    Now it's just a matter of remebering which codes are on which keys…
    Kind regards,
    daxer.

  • How can I get a replacement key for my wireless keyboard?

    I have a first generation Apple Wireless Keyboard with a key that has come loose. When I enter the serial number (beginning 3374900K***) into the selfcare database, it is not recognised, which prevents me from proceeding further and finding out if I can get a replacement key.
    Should I bring the keyboard into a store, or is there any other way (online) I can get this resolved?
    Thanks.

    Hello w:
    I think an Apple store would be the best approach.

  • HT5633 use of fn key with Apple Wireless Keyboard MC184LL/B

    Are the rules for using the fn key with the most recent
    Apple Wireless Keyboard MC184LL/B posted anywhere on Apple's site?  Thanks.

    Unfortunately i don't have a solution to your issue, but I thought I would mention the same issue with the new keyboard (MC184LL/B) and the iPad 2 running ios 4.3.5.  None of the function keys work as they should. 
    I recently received the older model (MC184LL/A) from FutureShop (Canada's sister to Best Buy) and everything works fine.  Perhaps you should seek out and buy the older model before they are phased out. 
    My only concern in saying this is I hope the update to ios 5 does not cause the older model keyboard to suddenly lose function key performance.  Similarly, I'm not sure the older model keyboard will work if you upgrade to Lion.
    I called Apple support about this issue and they found some info on the same iPad forums I have read, but they had no inside scoop on whether the issue was going to be addressed in further ios (or Mac OS) updates. 
    If you want to keep your new keyboard, you might just have to wait and see if the issue is resolved.   

  • 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!

  • Assigning SEND key to Apple Wireless Keyboard for messages?

    Does anyone know whether you can assign a "Send" key on the Apple Wireless Keyboard so I can send text messages and email without having to touch the iPhone's "Send" button? There's no info in the manual. I'm handicapped and have difficulty working the phone's dinky key layout, and bought the keyboard to help me send text messages. Kinda defeats the purpose if I have to then Send the message from the iPhone, not the keyboard . . .

    I believe you can use VoiceOver in combination with your keyboard to do what you want. Settings>General>Accessibility>VoiceOver>On.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3598
    Essentially when in VoiceOver, you use the arrow keys and space bar while holding down the control and option keys to select and tap what you need.
