I  wiped my wireless keyboard with a wet wipe now the keys are are all sticking on

Can any one help, My Keyboard was getting a bit grubby so i wiped it with a wet weipe and now, when i connect my keyboard the screen goes mad. Can any one HELP?????

1. Obtain a replacement keyboard.
2. Take the duff one and wash under a running tap, drain and hang in a warm room for several weeks to dry out.
    If you're very fortunate it may then work (but I guarantee nothing).
On balance you may as well stick with the replacement keyboard, and remember not to use anything more than a slightly damp lint-free cloth in future.

  • Do Apple offer wireless keyboards with Thai language characters in the UK?

    Can't see them in the store. I assume they produce one for Thai customers. I need one for Uni this year and I'm not keen on stickers.

    Oh dear, that is annoying! I tried searching on Amazon, but the best they have is English keyboards with Thai characters on them =/
    If I find anything, I'll be sure to tell you

  • I cleaned my wireless keyboard with windex and now it won't work

    i cleaned my wireless keyboard with a windex wipe and now it won't work - any ideas?

    To clean the keys these work very well....

  • I cleaned my wireless keyboard with a cloth that had a few sprays of windex on it, wiping back and forth and up and down on the keys. Now, various keys are not working. Is there a way to "reset" the keyboard to restore the keys?

    Thanks for replying (thorvsphoenix)
    The windex was sprayed on the cloth, not the keyboard. And only one or two pumps on a hand towel. No liquid seeped between the keys the towel was barely damp. You are saying the ammonia gas created the problem?
    I think It was more an issue of multiple keys being depressed at the same time that screwed up the configuration. That is why I need to "reboot" the keyboard.

  • My apple wireless keyboard got wet a year ago i sprayed the cleaning spray on it some of the keys are working but some of the keys aren"t working. it got sprayed a year ago What should i do??? Can it be recovered plz tell?

    I sprayed it a year ago i really like the keyboard and i really need it can it be recovered??? My apple wireless keyboard got wet a year ago i sprayed the cleaning spray on it some of the keys are working but some of the keys aren"t working. it got sprayed a year ago What should i do??? Can it be recovered plz tell?

    There is almost no chance it can be recovered, except at a cost far greater than a new keyboard.  Once wet, spraying with a cleaner will not do any good and most likely will make the situation worse.
    Best thing at this point is go to your Apple store, or the on-line store, and buy a new keyboard.  Water damage is not covered by the warranty or AppleCare.

  • Wireless Keyboard with touchpad?

    I have been looking for some time for a wireless keyboard with built in mouse control - a touchpad seems the obvious choice - to use with a mac mini in a plasma TV/Hi Fi home theatre set up. There seems to be a gap in the market for this type of device.
    I have so far come across 2-3 third party devices that only work with PC but not wirelessly (two USB, one PS2). Sony make a nice looking white cylindrical media PC that has a wireless keyboard with a touchpad. I also see them in some department stores at the point of sale tills.
    I know I could get a wireless Mac (mighty) mouse, but when you are sat in a chair or sofa, there are very few surfaces where you can comfortably use a wireless mouse. It just feels odd!
    Many people are comfortable using a laptop on their lap and controlling the mouse pointer with a touchpad so it is just like detaching the screen, moving it away 6-8 feet and making it bigger of course! The user interface and experience stays the same.
    If Apple got wise and marketed the mini as a media centre, I'm sure they would make the connection and produce another wireless keyboard with built in touchpad. Until then, has anyone come across a suitable solution?

    Hi Bob,
    I'll be in the same boat as you soon, aiming to migrate my G4 Mac Mini to the living room soon, and doing the homework now.
    Here are the wireless keyboards that I've found appealing for this purpose:
    Logitech Playstation 3 Cordless MediaBoard Keyboard, US$47
    Some people have said it works well on Mac and PC too, so this seems good. Note: the PRO model is much more expensive!
    http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-3-Cordless-MediaBoard-Keyboard/dp/B000MFLBBK
    Logitech DiNovo Edge, US$157
    Very smart looking, pure Bluetooth tech and nice trackpad/media cursor.
    http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/192&cl=hk,en
    Logitech DiNovo Mini, US$149
    Miniturized version of above, yuo'll be using thumbs to type. Only recently released.
    http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3848&cl=us,en?WT.ac =ps
    Adessa WKB-4000US, US$80
    Matches your description of a laptop keyboard and trackpad perfectly!

    I've tried some of the relatively cheaper mini keyboards that have a trackball on the right and left+right mouse keys on the left. The build quality was abit poor and either the trackball easily lost traction (within afew days!) or the keys started falling off, but I do recall I tried it and it wasn't very good, and I returned it. I'm also abit weary of RF wireless, because I have had some RF mice where the battery died very quickly and the wireless connection was not smooth unless you had the mouse right next to the USB dongle. I tried afew cheap brands, going upto the Kensington wireless mouse, but just gave up on RF stuff since.
    If you do go for one of the above, please do let us know how it is with them!

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard with Windows 7 on non Apple Hardware

    Good Day,
    I love the Apple Wireless Keyboard and it's the on I use when using my Thinkpad laptop as a desktop, meaning connected to an external Monitor and with an external keyboard and mouse. The Keyboard I use is an Apple Wireless Keyboard.
    On my MBA 13 I use Windows 7 as my OS and the Apple lyouted keyboard works actually quite well with windows: The function keys perform very much like in Mac OSX with the volume, screen brightness, the fn+left or right for "home" or "end" etc.
    Not I bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard to use in conjuction with my Thinkpad but all does features are missing. I guess that this has to to that on the MBA 13 the appropriate drivers where installed when the whole Bootcamp Software package was installed.
    Since I obviously cant install the whole Bootcamp CD on non Apple Hardware, is there any way to just download somewhere the drivers for Apple KEyboards so the behave the same way as they would on a Mac running Windows?
    Or is there any other way I could use my Apple Wireless Keyboard with non Apple Hardware the same way it behaves on my MBA 13 running Windows 7? Can somwhere lolely the Apple Keyboard drivers be downloaded?
    I want to thank anyone who is kind enough to help mme with this mather in advance and please leave out comments of the kind that I it's my fault, I should have bought an Apple machine from the beginning. I have my reasons and If anyone can't handle that I kindly ask you to just ignore this post unless it's constructive and helpful contribution

    After 3 frustrating hours of trying every tip on the net, I found the answer: Try this.
    "This finally fixed it for me: Device Manager - Open System Devices, you will find a Bluetooth HID Device. Double Click it, open Driver tab and click "Update Driver" Select Browse my Computer, then "Let me Pick". It should now show TWO compatible drivers with exactly the same name. One of them is the Microsoft one, one is the non-working Chinese ****. Install one of them and see if the driver properties changed to the right (Microsoft) driver. If not, try again with the other one. For me, the Microsoft driver was the first one in the list, but this may be different for you. Wow, an annoying and intense hour of trouble shooting finally over..."

    The issue is related to the Chinese version of the driver that the latest windows update applies that stops the keyboard from working.
    I'm typing this on the Apple Wireless Keyboard on Windows 7 64 bit on my PC. Finallly!

    Bluetooth: How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard

  • Using a Mac wireless keyboard with a MacBook

    I just bought a mac wireless keyboard with the intention of using an external monitor and a wireless keyboard with my MacBook (Leopard - 10.5.4.) I have a logitech cordless mouse. I installed the firmware update for the keyboard, it shows connected, and is turned, the light flashed for about 3 seconds,but the wireless keyboard doesn't work - only the laptop keyboard works. Any suggestions? I'm thinking it's beyond my expertise and I just need to return it and use it as a laptop. Do I have to also have a wireless mouse?

    Excuse the ring. I finally found the answer. You can't have mouse enabled in Universal Access if you're using a keyboard that doesn't have the number keypad at the right.

  • Problems pairing wireless keyboard with Mac mini

    Hi,
    I just bought a new Mac mini with wireless keyboard and mouse and cannot pair the wireless keyboard during the initial set up. Took out the batteries, turned off the mini, still doesn't work. I'm looking into borrowing a regular USB keyboard an running through the set up with this so I can get started. Is there another solution?
    Thanks.

    Isn't it great when you solve your own problems. The USB keyboard allowed me to get up an running. When I went to the bluetooth preferences, I set up the wireless keyboard and haven't had a problem since.

  • Wireless keyboard with integrated trackball

    I'm looking for a wireless keyboard with integrated trackball (for the mouse function) to be used with a mac mini (leopard).
    Any suggestion?
    The apple wireless keyboard looks very nice, but would require a separate mouse and mousepad. That would not work very well with the intended setup (mac mini connected to the TV and keyboard/trackball used from the couch).
    Paolo

    This trackball looks pretty good according to its reviews and specs:

  • Setting apple wireless keyboard with a pc

    Ok. I got the new apple bluetooth wireless keyboard in hope to use it both for my mac and pc. It worked fine with mac of course, but with pc (which has a iogear b/t dongle) it did not quite pair up. The bluetooth dongle does recognize the keyboard and prompts me to type in a code in order to pair the keyboard. But, does not show the code that I am supposed to enter from he keyboard.
    Does anyone have any solutions? any replies would be much appreciated.

  • HT5633 Wireless keyboard with Apple TV Box

    I had connect wireless keyboard with Apple TV Box it is work perfectly with English language but Thai language I need to hold the key until it appear then press Enter to type a letter it is look really trouble at all. Please give me any suggestions, Thank you.

    the problem will be apple tv box firmware not fully support wireless keyboard. Will need update.
    I think it does fully support wireless keyboard, but only for English.  As Apple tells you in the link I gave you earlier:  "Apple TV uses the U.S. English keyboard layout regardless of the keyboard's hardware layout"
    Hopefully they will fix it in the future.

  • International or US English wireless keyboard with L-shaped (NOT elongated!) Enter key?

    The Wiki entry of the Apple wireless keyboard mentions there's an international English version of the Apple Wireless Keyboard (WK). As has the MBP, for that matter.
    That is, it doesn't have the elongated Enter key as is on the traditional US keyboard, but a (rotated) L-shaped one, which is far easier to press.
    I couldn't find this keyboard in the Apple Store at all - checked out both the US and the Finnish one. Does anyone know how it can be ordered? I hate elongated Enter keys (I always press \ instead of Enter) but want a keyboard with US English layout. The UK layout (which, otherwise, has an L-shaed Enter) won't be right.

    BTW, the different WK layouts are available at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2841
