Forward Delete in New Wireless (alluminum) Keyboard

How can I get the forward delete command available on new Apple wireless keyboard ???

I've tried this on my (old style) wireless keyboard - press "alt" + "delete" and it forward deletes. I do have a proper "delete" and "backspace" key on my 'board, but the above combination works should work just as well.
(I have to use "alt" + "backspace" keys on mine though!)
Buona fortuna,
Robert.

  • TS1569 Brand new wireless aluminum keyboard will not accept passcode

    .......... to pair with brand new macbook air. Apple Care support can't figure this out. Just tried a second, identical keyboard in two days. Same issue. First keyboard worked flawlessly with mid 2010 macbook pro. I'm ******!

    I just does not accept that it should be nessecarry to use a usb keyboard when buying a brand new mac!
    And luckily I managed to solve this in the end
    My setup was is with a keyboard that was previously paired worth my MBP, and I tried a lot of things, but what did it in the end was this:
    First I unpaired the keyboard from the MBP using http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1809?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US. Only, this time I ignored the first step which reads: "Press and release the On/Off switch on the wireless keyboard to turn it off." Thinking of it, how would the the keyboard know that it is unpaired, if it is turned off?
    The 2 thing I did differently this time was that I did not power on the keyboard until it actually said so on the screen. This means that I powered on the Mini, waited until I had selected the language using the Trackpad, waited until the "Connect Keyboard" dialog appeared on the screen. Then I turned on the keyboard in pairing mode...
    That's basically what I did to be successful! Hope it will help somebody else

  • New Wireless MAC keyboard & mighty mouse very slow in retrieving information & sending

    Good evening,
    I just purchased these items last night from the Apple store, they are both installed on my bluetooth. I do have OS Lion.
    Whenever I want to go to another site for example this site it spins and spins and takes approx 1 min which feels like 5mins.
    My other wireless key board and mouse was logictech for Mac I never had a problem like this.
    The only reason why I switched was because of the functionality the keyboard and mouse did not have.
    Can some please help me or educate me on what I am not doing correctly.
    Thanks so much,
    Phyllis

    I don't think you are doing anything wrong.  I also don't think you communication to your computer (in this case with bluetooth) has anything to do with your computer's internet connection. 
    If you are having a slow internet connection then when it happens plug your old mouse and keyboard back in.  Your internet connection should still be just as slow.
    Maybe you should use different DNS servers as opposed to what your ISP provides.  I can suggest OpenDNS (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220) or Google's DNS servers (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4).
    One last thing.  Since you changed a peripheral, particularly when dealing with bluetooth, I suggest you also do a smc and pram reset.  In fact try this before you try changing your DNS servers.

  • 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,

  • How do I get forward delete to work on a PC w/ an Apple Wireless Keyboard?

    Hello,
    I have successfully connected an Apple Wireless Keyboard to my Toshiba Portege laptop which is running Windows Vista. The keyboard is working fine but my laptop won't recognize the 'fn+delete' command to execute a forward delete. I've searched quite a bit online but I can't figure out how to replicate the forward delete functionality, which I use all the time, with my Apple Wireless Keyboard. Anyone have suggestions or ideas about other key combinations which may work or mapping software I can use on my laptop to get this done? Thanks very much!

  • HT1171 How do I forward-delete in Windows using an Apple Wireless Keyboard?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1171 says that forward-delete maps to but that key doesn't exist on an Apple Wireless Keyboard (as far as I can tell). Anyone know how to achieve this, as well as home, page up, and page down functions?
    I've tried https://code.google.com/p/uawks/downloads/detail?name=Install UAWKS 2008.09.17.exe and uxsoft.cz/projects/awk, but these don't support forward-delete, home, page up, or page down.
    Thanks!

    Fn and delete works for deleting stuff to the right of the cursor, if that's what you mean?

  • Tricks w/ new wireless keyboard

    Here are the following "tricks" I have found out about the new wireless keyboard from Apple.
    1. To get Page UP and Page DOWN function => fn + UP Arrow ; fn + DOWN Arrow
    2. Forward delete => fn + delete key
    3. Power off keyboard => Press and hold power button until the green light turns off. It'll turn on first, and then a few seconds of holding the button will turn the keyboard off.
    Other tricks people have discovered? Unlike with the MacBook Pro built-in keyboard, there is "Num Lock" key, so there is no built-in numeric keypad as part of the QWERTY keyboard, at least not that I have found.

    hey that was useful, thanks.
    after one month my wireless keyboard batteries where empty !!!! did u experienced the same? Do u switch on/off your keyboard? I don't like the mouse when not used the device sleeps (no/low consumption)....

  • My BT keyboard delete button now forward deletes rather than backspacing like it used to do. This happened after I got my iMac back from the hard drive replacement program. Any ideas how to return the keyboard to the default backspace?

    The good news after my hard drive was replaced during Apple's Seagate replacement program -- all my data and settings reinstalled seamlessly through Time Machine and my external hard drive. Bad news? My BT keyboard will now only forward delete when I hit the delete key rather than backward delete. I find this so ironic since I hated this feature when I switched from PC to Mac, but now I'm totally used to it. I tried resetting the default under system preferences, but it didn't help. Otherwise, keyboard works perfectly. This is so strange. Anyone have any suggestions? Oh -- and now I see my arrows don't work either.

  • 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").

  • New Wireless Keyboard won't stay linked

    I use a MBP running Leopard in closed lid configuration at work and at home most of the time unless I'm on the road. My old white wireless keyboard never forget it is synched with my laptop. However, at home I constantly have to re-introduce my new aluminum wireless keyboard to my closed lid laptop. This gets old because when I restart at home I usually like to boot off of an external drive, and of course with no active keyboard I can't use the "option" key to select my boot drive.
    This did not do this under Tiger BTW.
    Any ideas? I reset PRAM. Should I delete all wireless keyboards and start again? Can more than one wireless keyboard be used on the same computer (at separate times)?
    Any suggestions would be helpful in order to avoid having to crack the laptop lid open to get to the non-wireless keyboard on the laptop. This sometimes confuses my external video output to my

    May the new wireless keyboard itself has connecting problem, restore the factory default settings.

  • I got a new wireless connection for my mac and cannot figure out how to delete the last connection service I had. Everytime I shut the computer, the network goes back to the other one. I cannot find the file ANYWHERE

    Under Network Preferences, select the WiFi
    click on "Advanced..." button
    Select the network you want to delete from the list and click on "-"
    Click "Ok"
    Click "Apply"
    Well done ;-)
    You may also want to delete the wireless key from Keychain.
    Open Keychain, seach for the old wifi network name, slect it and click delete
