I forgot to turn off my bluetooth keyboard.

Yesterday I forgot to turn off the keyboard and now my iPad mini won't work. Thinking it had just drained the battery I plugged it in overnight. It reacted to being plugged in with the usual sound but nothing happens when the buttons are pushed. Have I damaged it beyond repair?

Leaving the keyboard on won't cause damage. Just try turning it off and on again. If that doesn't help:
Once it is fully re-charged, consult the manual for how to reset the keyboard and re-pair it to the iPad.

Time-based turning off of bluetooth keyboard

I'm using an Apple bluetooth keyboard with my iMac. If I forget to manually turn off the keyboard, the batteries in it drain 20% overnight. Is there no setting that says: Turn off the keyboard if there's no activity for 5 minutes? I notice that Windows 7 allows me to do this, even for my Apple keyboard (since I'm running W7 on my mac). Thanks.

No, there's no announcement when it sleeps, only when it connects/disconnects.
Here is Apple's description:
The Apple Wireless Keyboard requires just two AA batteries — one less than the previous model. And its intelligent power management system conserves battery life. So when you’re not using the keyboard, it automatically powers down. The instant you start typing, it turns back on. Use the on/off switch when you're away from your computer for a long time.

HT4111 How do I turn off my bluetooth keyboard

My keyboard keeps getting turned on while in transit in my bag, is there a way to turn it off so that it doesnt keep getting turned on accidently. Is there anyway to turn it off other than by hitting the on/off button on the right side.

The most solid way to keep it off when in your bag is to remove the batteries and keep them somewhere with your keyboard when not in use. It shouldn't usually turn on unless the power button is pressed though.

Forgot to turn off FIND MY IPHONE before restoring to another iphone

I restored all my data to my husband's iphone 5S after he got a new iPhone 6 but I forgot to turn off FIND MY IPHONE in my old device. Now I can't do it in the old device because the apple ID and other setting are associated with the new device. The old device still contains info that I can't get at because of this. HELP!

remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find, selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been erased, click Remove from Account. After you erase the device, you'll need to wait 24 hours before you can activate iMessage on your new device.

How do you turn off a wireless keyboard?

After the G5 iMac died, I bought a refurbished Intel 21.5" iMac from Apple. The wireless keyboard that comes with is fine but I prefer my wired USB keyboard with numeric keypad, etc.
So I want to put the wireless one away. Every time I push the power button, the green light comes on for a few seconds and the keyboard is still operational. I finally took the batteries out but that is a silly way to shut a device off.

Took some trying.
Press ne time on is on, it will first go in pairing mode if not set up, or simply connect.
To turn off, press the button and the led will go on. Keep pressed until the led goes of and the keyboard is now turned off.
To pair with another device, turn on and keep the on button pressed until the led flashes green. Now you can pair it with another device, like your iphone on the go.

This is a hint to anyone who cannot find their airprint printer from their ipad: after 10 hours of trying everything imaginable, i can now print directly from my iPad by turning off the bluetooth in settings and waiting for 30 seconds. presto!

after spending a full day and a half trying everything imaginable, i finally found a way to get my ipad to find my new airprint capable printer. I could print from email or the cloud, but not directly from my ipad. After reading a discussion about bluetooth printers, i turned off bluetooth in settings, waited 30 seconds, and voila!! I was able to print directly from my ipad. Try it if you are having troubles

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

My MacBook Air keeps randomly turning off but they keyboard is still lit.

I'll be doing work on my MacBook Air that I only got a month or so ago. and the screen with suddenly turn black. The laptop isn't off as the keyboard is still lit. It is fully charged and plugged in. I have pressed all the buttons but it still won't turn on. I have to press and hold the On/off Button to restart the whole computer. This makes me lose my work. Any ideas?

Resetting the SMC of an Intel-based portable Mac with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: This will not delete any data.
The SMC is responsible for controlling various system functions. None of your data will be deleted by resetting the SMC.
Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) keys and the Power Button at the same time.
Release the (left side) Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) keys and the Power Button at the same time.
I hope I answered your question.

HT204368 How do I stay connected to a Bluetooth device but turn off the bluetooth music playback?

I have bluetooth through my car. it is really handy to use while driving. However, if i'm listening to music in my car through an AV adaptor, turn off my car, and turn it back on, the music starts playing through the Bluetooth. I don't want this to happen. It is really hard to maneuver through and drains my battery. In iOS 5 there was a way to turn off BT Audio playback. I can't seem to find that setting with the new iOS 6 update.

How do I completely turn off the backlit keyboard without using F5 and F6?

I believe my keyboard short circuited after a spill this weekend. I'm currently using a usb keyboard from Apple. I have disabled the keyboard, on my laptop, now I want to completely turn off the backlight. I've looked in the settings and can't seem to find anything. Thanks.

hi mtbomb,
hi Can you while the Power LED is blinking hold the power down don't let it go until the light disappeared.
Technically the Yoga13 should turn off while holding down the power. at least 10 to 15 sec.
I would suggest calling Technical Support if the above steps did not resolve the issue.
It's possible that when you turn on the system, it is not going to sleep but the blinking indicates failure.
Best regards
Solid Cruver

Forgot to turn off find my iphone and reset phone

Didn't turn off find my iphone and sold my 5c. They reset the phone and now can't log out of my icloud on the phone. Tried resetting and now says verification failed an SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made. That comes up everytime I try to delete the icloud or log out, and now I tried to reset the phone again and comes up that message. I logged into icloud online and removed the phone from my icloud. Still nothing!!!

Try removing it at http://icloud.com on the computer.

How can I turn off a specific keyboard shortcut?

We use a 3rd party vendor's platform to create/maintain content on our school website. When writing stories, I often use standard editing shortcuts (such as command-B for bold, command-I for italic, etc.). But when I hit command-B in the new FF 4.0 release, the bookmarks window opens - so I now need to use the pulldown menu to make this standard command. And it just slows me down.
Any idea how I can turn off this feature?

Hi, thanks for the reply.
No.
Please read my post, i'm asking how to turn off the specific shortcut in my original post, not assign actions to the mouse buttons (i know how to do that). I'm aware i can simply turn off the scroll wheel function altogether from the mouse preferences but i don't want to lose that function.
I want to know how to turn off the SHIFT + SCROLL WHEEL CLICK shortcut that switches the screen to the widget screen.
