How do you get the Apple Wireless Keyboard to accept function keys?
I use the Apple Wireless Keyboard with my iPad2 and I use the VPN to connect to my work-related software which requires that I use some of the function keys as actual F1, F2, F3,...etc. When I hit F2, the iPad2 responds with the Screen Brighter action. How do I get the keyboard input to just be F2? Thanks!

Thanks. But I tried that and nothing happens. I've looked though all the System Preferences sections and can't find anything on this.

How do I get the apple wireless mouse open to replace the battery?
How do I get the apple wireless mouse open to replace the battery?
Thank you! I am 71 also, and broke a fingernail trying to get the thing open, thought there must be a trick to it. After many attempts, when I had your reply it opened right up. I think Apple delights in making people look stupid. Love the machines, but dislike the smooth surfaces with no obvious switches to run the machine itself. Computer is still not "discovering" the mouse, so there may be some further problem to be resolved. The whole setup worked fine until a few days ago when the computer started to lose the mouse now and then. I thought probably the mouse needed batteries, as I just had replaced the contemporary batteries in the keyboard.
I'm retired, too, in Portland, Oregon, USA, and write poetry (though not for advertising agencies), get lot of rejections and an acceptance about once a year.

If your phone is broken how do you get the apple id off that phone?
if your iphone is broken how do you get the apple id off of it?
You can either,
A: Go to iForgot.apple.com and reset the passcode using the password system there, or by going to appleid.apple.com
or
B: IF possible restore the device to factory settings via iTunes.
What's the xtent of the damage and the reason you need to do it?
IF it's for iMessage as "Chief501" you will have to go with Option A or just wait till it falls off itself. -

HT201178 how do you unpair an apple wireless keyboard?
I have an apple wireless keyboard, but I recently just purchased and apple keyboard with numeric keypad and I am wondering if I need to unpair the apple wireless keyboard from bluetooth or I dont know but, my new keyboard is wired so it should work already, correct?????
Hello,
I believe that when you plug in the USB keyboard, that one should control the device.
However, why not either unpaid or turn the Bluetooth device off?

How do you use the same wireless keyboard with multiple devices?
My apologies in advance if this question has been answered previously. There was nothing in the owner's manual (for the keyboard) that answered this. I did do a rough search that did not yield an answer to this:
I have one wireless keyboard I am using with my Macbook Pro. I understand this keyboard can also be used as an input device for my Apple TV and my iPhone - both of which I currently own.
And although I am able to use the keyboard with those devices, I am forced to "forget this device" after having used it on either the Apple TV or my iPhone so that I can use it on my MacBook Pro. Is there any combination of keys that one can press on the keyboard that would cycle through my three devices? As it is right now, if I don't "forget the device" on my secondary units, it somehow defaults to a peripheral OTHER than my MacBook Pro and I'd like for it to always default to my computer.
Thank you for any information/advice.Bump

How Do You Get the Apple Trackpad Icon to Show Up in Sys Prefs?
Just upgraded to 10.6.4, did all software updates, and bought the Trackpad. Trackpad works, but there is no icon for it in the Sys Prefs to make adjustments. Suggestions?
Thanks
TomThanks!
Yeah I saw it last night on the Apple website, and ran to the Apple store today to get one, All Things Apple Fanboy that I am
It really looks cool, and is very responsive as you would expect, but after decades with a mouse, will take some getting used to. I've been using it all evening and starting to feel a bit more comfortable with it. Quite a change though. I do love not having the space it saves in not having to move the mouse around....thanks again..

How do you get the Apple website to recognize a new pc tower?
My account was started in December 2012 and I bought a new Dell tower in February. I wanted to buy music yesterday and found that I could buy it but not download to my ipod because Apple did not recognize my pc. I removed the information on the old pc and now cannot get this pc recognized. There is no button on the Account information page to do this. How do I get it done?

How do you get the apple remote to STOP always launching iTunes????
After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I have discovered a few annoyances. The biggest one is that the Apple remote is always launching iTunes when I use it. Even when the Finder is not the target app.
I have my entire Star Trek collection on a firewire drive, and I like using VLC to watch them because of the playlist feature. Every time I use the Apple remote to try to skip to the next episode, it launches iTunes and begins playing music. This NEVER happened before in Leopard or Tiger.
I have gone through the iTunes preferences and also looked for some obscure system preference to deal with this issue, but so far, no luck.
Again, the]is NEVER happened under previous operating systems, so I'm going to assume it's a glitch in Snow Leopard.
Does anyone know what's happening here??
Help me obi-wan.HI,
Open System Preferences/Security and turn Disable remote control infrared receiver.
You may have to click the gold padlock icon to do this. You will be prompted for your
Admin password.
Also, when you come across a "bug", report it to Apple.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
And it seems you are not alone...

You can try to re "Pair' the remote also.
To pair an Apple Remote with your computer:
Hold the remote close to the computer (3 to 4 inches away) and point the remote at the front of the computer.
Press and hold both the Menu and Next buttons on the remote until the paired-remote icon appears on your screen (about 5 seconds).
To unpair an Apple Remote:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security, and then click General.
Open the General pane of Security preferences
Click Unpair.

Hi Michael-
I do not have any problem with using shift registers in timed loops. What version of LabVIEW are you using? Can you please elaborate on why neither shift registers or local variables meet your needs? I have attached a VI that saves a previous iteration and then computes and displays the difference. Let me know if you have problems running it.
Thanks-

Is the Apple Wireless Keyboard fully compatible with Windows 7 in Boot Camp?
If you have an iMac running Snow Leopard and Windows 7, will the Apple Wireless Keyboard work properly in Windows 7 (via Boot Camp)?
I'm asking because a friend of mine has an Apple Wired Keyboard that they want to get rid of, and upgrade to an Apple Wireless Keyboard. However, their concern is that the Apple Wireless Keyboard won't work properly (or reliably) when they run Windows 7 on their iMac.I'm using an Apple Wireless Keyboard running Boot Camp and Windows 7 64 bit right now typing this. Seems to run just fine under Windows 7 for me. Some of the familiar Windows keyboard keys are not present, of course, though there are key mappings to get to those too. I actually like this keyboard a lot, under Windows 7 or OS X.
