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.

How to generate keys for the records

Hi Gurus,
can anybody explain me how to create keys for the recors while working with keymapping.

Hi Yugandher,
Is your Question pertaining to Key generation in MDM or using the Remote key for importing and syndication in MDM?
Remote Keys are system specific uniques maintained in MDM while importing source records from different source system.You need to Enable key mapping in Console and then map the <Remote key> field to the unique key in Import manager and do similar mapping in syndicator as well.
You can view the key mapping for differnt records under the Edit key mapping (context menu) right clicking on any record.
To know more on this refer the below link:

For Key generation in MDM you can use the Qualified range property of Remote system in Console for Key genearation.However these keys will be genearted only after syndication and are created and assigned within MDM and not maintained from any source remote system.
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards

How do you know if the wireless keyboard is turned on or off?

When I press the power button on the wireless keyboard (A1314) the tiny light lights up and then goes out. When I press the power key again the tiny light lights up and then goes out. How can I tell which is which? When is the keyboard on and when is it off?
If I leave the keyboard on for days will the batteries die or does it turn itself off after a certain amount of time? None of the instructions tell about these things.
TIA,
Ken

How's Light Going Through The Wireless Keyboard Aluminum Body?

Hi. It's nice how they designed the wireless keyboard. If you switch on the power button, you'll see the light coming through the alluminum body but there are no holes in there. How'd they do that?:) It's nice to see things like this from Apple's designers. I wished it was flatter though and the battery case would just be on top or middle. Gbu.

If you take a very close look at the keyboard you'll see that there micro holes in the casing.
afaik a laser is used to punch that holes.

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.

I think an Apple store would be the best approach.

Hot keys for the button

hi friends,
Is it possible to remove a mnemonic associated with a button based on the focus of the cursor?
For example, when focus is on text field TF1, the button B1 should have a hot key ALT_B but when the focus is on textfield TF2, the button B1 should not have the hot key ALT_B.. that is, if focus is on TF2 and user enters ALT_B.. button B1 action should not be performed.
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Deepa Raghuraman

You could use Button.setMnemonic(0) (thats the method that takes an int as the argument) to disable the mnemonic. And Button.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_B) to enable it again (for the character 'b').
But don't misunderstand me either, if I open a new dialog and see a button that signifies to me : You can use ALT_B to toggle me because thats the character that has a line below it, I would be surprised it that doesn't work just a few seconds later, because some application logic took that feature away from me.
Think about it, but otherwise the above methods should work. May you have to repaint/inavlidate the button to set/remove the underlined character

Are there alternate numeric keys on the wireless keyboard ?

Are there alternate numeric keys on the Apple wireless keyboard?

No. There's a third party numeric keypad on the Apple site, or the wired keyboard has a numeric keypad.

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!

How about some flash for the ipad

I have read many posts on flash and apples ios. All parties have valid points. I am a student and am very interested in the capability of using digital books. Unfortunately most of these are in flash. I have been very pleased with my ipad but I must say, without the choice of being able to use flash it is no more than just a toy. I believe if apple wants to be serious about their touch devises being implemented outside of games and something to be used to just pass the time they need to at least allow the customer to decide if they would like to sacrifice power on the device in order to expand the capabilities. It is a shame that these issues cannot be resolved to benefit the customer.

It's been rehashed sooooo many times:
The problem wasn't with Apple. Adobe could never get a version that worked well in iOS.
Adobe has since stated that they are stopping development of Flash for ALL mobile platforms.
So we won't be seeing Flash on any iOS device.

Hello m:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Call your local Apple store and ask them that question.
If your profile is correct and you are in Miami, there are two stores in Miami and one in Miami Beach.

For some reason, your Mac doesn't recognise that a keyboard is present, so it looks for a wireless keyboard. The question is, why doesn't your Mac recognise that a keyboard is attached?
First, you need to make sure you remove all peripherals, especially USB peripherals (the keyboard is on the USB bus). Then restart holding down the Shift key. This should boot in Safe mode. If the computer boots normally (not in safe mode) and the keyboard is still not working, try resetting the SMC

If that still doesn't fix the problem, then the keyboard (or its controller) is probably damaged and needs to be replaced.
