I purchased a wireless keyboard for my iPad a week ago and now the keypad doesn't pop up when I want to type anything.

Have you tried to go into bluetooth and telling it to forget your keyboard?
Drastic but might enable you to repair the devices and see if it clears up the glitch.
I had a period of time when my iPad always sensed and used my bluetooth keyboard. I think it finally went away after I powered down the iPad. (not just a put to sleep, a bonafide 'slide the red slider to shut it down' powering down.

  • Can not locate wireless keyboard for my iPad

    My wireless keyboard for my ipad is no longer displayed on the screen that the Bluetooth app is.
    I have tried everything.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Do you mean that when you go into Settings > Bluetooth > your wireless keyboard is not listed under devices?
    If so:
    make sure your keyboard is charged.
    turn your keyboard off,  reset your iPad, turn the keyboard back on, see if it shows up, put it in discovery mode see if it shows up
    to reset your iPad:
    Hold both the Home button and the Power button down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
    Let go promptly when it appears.
    Wait 30 seconds or so for your iPad to restart.
    No information or settings will be lost.

  • I have a wireless keyboard for my ipad and it says to charge it connect it to my pc.  can i charge it by connecting it to my ipad?

    I have a wireless keyboard for my ipad and it says to charge it connect it to my pc.  can i charge it by connecting it to my ipad?

    No. The iPad's port won't put out enough power. You could probably plug your keyboard into your iPad charger and charge it that way, but it won't charge off the iPad.

  • I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad.  I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad.  I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

    Not knowing which wireless keyboard you bought, it is difficult to be specific.  but ...
    it is quite normal for the keyboard's power light not to stay on - it is a way of conserving battery power.
    Try this:
    turn you keyboard off
    on your iPad go to Settings > Bluetooth
    if your keyboard is listed under Devices, then touch the little blue i to its right and choose Forget this Device
    now reset your iPad:  hold both the Home and Power buttons down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, let go promptly when the Apple logo appears and wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on
    After your iPad is back on again go back to Settings > Bluetooth
    now turn your keyboard back on and see if it appeard under Now Discoverable
         if it doesn't read your keyboard guide to figure out how to put it into Discovery mode
    touch the listing for your keyboard under Now Discoverable, it should now appear under Devices
    touch the listing for you keyboard under Devices, and choose to pair with it.

  • I boughtThe new iPad  three week ago and I want to change it for a 32 gb and wireless / network is this possible

    I bought an iPad three weeks ago and I will like to know if I can exchange it for the 32gb and the wireless and network

    KP is right, Apple has a 30-day return for refund policy, but since you are beyond that time your best option may be to sell on eBay or Craigslist, or such, and put the money towards the one you want.  Apple is very generous about returns during the first two weeks but they then cut it off.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It's possible to return the computer during the first 14 days, but now you can't return the MacBook Air. You can sell your computer and get a new MacBook

    I bought my iPhone5 4 months ago and now the camera is not working, it only displays black in the screen. I've tried reset, restore for how many times but still the problem is not being resolve. Any help from you Apple team?

    There is no Apple here, this is a user to user forum.  When you said you restored, then you restore as NEW?
    If you restored as New and still the problem persiist, then it time to take a trip to the Apple store.

  • I just got a wireless keyboard for my iPad 4 and can't get the onscreen keyboard to stop showing as I type with the keyboard.

    I have a just bought a bluetooth keyboard for my iPad 4 and it works fine. It connects with bluetooth and when I type the characters appear fine but the on screen keyboard will not go away. How do I get it to disappear while I am using my bluetooth keyboard.
    James, arealniceguy

    Yes that was my next step but I removed the Swift key app I had installed with slightly different functionality than the Apple default screen keyboard. I figured I really didn't need that functionality since the Bluetooth keyboard offered far more flexibility. Sure enough the well designed default Apple keyboard seems to know it is not needed when an external keyboard is in use. Apple software just works better as always.

  • Will wireless keyboard for 1 iPad interfere with another iPad?

    I have an iPad 2 (WiFi) on order. I will probably get a second one for my wife.
    I have 2 questions about the wireless keyboard:
    1) If I get a wireless keyboard, can I use it for either iPad?
    2) If my wife and I are both using apps at the same time on our separate iPads that require text input and my wife is using the keyboard for hers, will it interfere with the text input on my iPad?

    You can have multiple iPads in the same room, each with their own assigned/paired keyboard.  I suppose at some level they might interfere with each other (like tens of thousands of cell phones at a BIG sports event), but I have seen labs with dozens of keyboards and iPads with no problem!

  • I Purchased Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium for Mac about 4 years ago and now every time i launch one of the applications it says "Trial expired"

    I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 5 and Premiere Pro CS5 in late 2010 and I use the applications on a daily basis, until now. About a month ago I decided to create an adobe account and log in since it asks me every time, after i logged in the applications worked for about a day or two but on the third day i was getting an error that said trial expired on every CS5 application i opened except for Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Adobe Bridge CS5 and  Adobe Onlocation CS5, I no-longer have the original boxes with the serial numbers due to the fact that I moved about a year ago and the boxes with the serial numbers must have been accidentally thrown away (trust me i have spent hours looking for them, i opened every box i have). What can i do to get my products working again? To repurchase all of the products it will cost thousands of dollars that i don't have.
    Thanks for reading!

  • My ipad 4 will not sync my photos i took with my cannon digital camera, it worked 1 week ago and now will not??If in put it under video on the ipad i can not share or email.

    Had an Ipad 2 from Christmas 2011, used a digital camera to record video, a cannon ELPH series, I put the video in my Iphoto on my mac book pro and WAS able to sync them to my photo on my IPAD. The little photo with the camera icon on it was great no problems.!!! Then I was not able to do this any more, I had to drop the video into the video icon on the ipad from my itunes accunt, however you can not send the video to any one from the ipad like you can under the photo Icon, the buffering was also bad.  I got a new Ipad 4 for Christmas and again I was able to sync video when i connected it to my ipad and video i recorded with the cannon camera from halloween showed up GREAT!!! This was stored on my Ipad under the Photo Icon and I can send an email, imessage, etc with the vieo. Fast forward another week put my Christmas videos on my mac book pro and when i plugged my ipad to my mac book to sync in it again did not work, it would not sync the video to my photos, though I JUST did it a week earlier and it worked (those videos are still on the IPAD 4 and work fine). Why can I not do it now, I can drop the video into the video Icon on the IPAD and watch, but you can not send it anywhere as if u had it stored under the photo icon.???

    What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • How to get alert in P6 for material procurement two weeks before and track the status of procurement of material?

    I want P6 to alert me two weeks before for procurement of specific material resource related to an activity going to be performed. If this is possible then what are the steps to use it and how can we manage it.

    Hi Srinivas,
    I think you must use Restricted Key Figures and Formula.
    Do not introduce CALMONTH in columns, but restrict 12 times the Key Figure Qty with 0CALMONTH3, that is 01-02-03-...
    Then create a Formula that is the Sum of all Restricted KF and call it SUM.
    Then copy the previous Formula (SUM) and call it AVG and give the option of Average of all Values <>0.
    Try.
    Ciao.
    Riccardo.

  • I sent my ipad to a company for repair (over 6 weeks ago) and they are not returning my calls or emails. What should i do?

    Hi,
    I sent my ipad to a company for repair.
    They posted it back and had not repaired it, they asked me to send it back so they could repair...again.
    I have had a couple of emails saying it cant be fixed and they would return it to me, this has not happened.
    Everytime i phone the company they take my number and never call me back.
    The pad can no longer be tracked on find my ipad.
    They have emailed me saying they dont have any information for me.
    What can i do?

    That would be a matter for local authorities - small claims court, a lawyer, whatever. You have to follow up and stay on them and get whoever you need to get involved in the matter that can provide help. Depending upon where you live (if in the U.S.) maybe even the Better Business Bureau - or any local watchdog group that helps in cases like this.
    I don't know where you live, but in my town, I would contact the district court or magistrate and ask for his advice. There is nothing that anyone here can do foryou  and Apple would be of no help either. This is not their responsibility.
