ICloud does not synchronize Notes.app with Apple Wireless Keyboard in use

I own an Apple Wireless Keyboard and an iPhone 4 with the newest software, iOS5.1
When using the build-in Notes application by Apple and the original Apple Wireless Keyboard, synchronizing fails. I guess this is because Notes.app never triggers the "synchronize event", like it does when using the on-screen-keyboard. The trigger "done" is just missing. This error might also happen in other (build-in) apps, I've just seen it with the Notes.app
Could you please tell me if you already know this issue and are working on it? I told Apple Support about it for iOS version 5.0 and nothing changed since then. Please advise.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

1st generation MacBook not pairing/connecting with Apple Wireless Keyboard

I just purchased an Apple Wireless Keyboard to use with my iPhone and my 1st generation MacBook.
I managed to pair/connect my keyboard with iPhone on my first try.
So far, however, I have not been able to pair or connect my keyboard with my MacBook.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Thanks.

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your help. Indeed, I followed the instructions for pairing and connecting the keyboard last night. I shut down my computer last night with the idea that a restart this morning might be helpful. Per your message, I attempted to follow the instructions again a moment ago, with no success.
Bluetooth on my MacBook and on my keyboard are both on. My MacBook is discoverable. Any thoughts about what the glitch might be?
Thanks again!

Key fn + Backspace does not work with apple wireless keyboard

Hello,
I want to user the WIndows Key DEL. However, the apple wireless keyboard dosn't have such a key. I read, that FN + Backspace will solve this. It does not work on my apple wireless keyboard. I'm using BootCamp 3.2 and WIndows XP, running on a Mac Mini 2010.
In addition, I also read, that FN + Cursor Left sould work like POS1. But this doesn't work, too.
Windows shows for the keyboard: Deutsch (Apple)
Regards Dirk

Hi mate,

HT5633 use of fn key with Apple Wireless Keyboard MC184LL/B

Are the rules for using the fn key with the most recent
Apple Wireless Keyboard MC184LL/B posted anywhere on Apple's site? Thanks.

Unfortunately i don't have a solution to your issue, but I thought I would mention the same issue with the new keyboard (MC184LL/B) and the iPad 2 running ios 4.3.5. None of the function keys work as they should.
I recently received the older model (MC184LL/A) from FutureShop (Canada's sister to Best Buy) and everything works fine. Perhaps you should seek out and buy the older model before they are phased out.
My only concern in saying this is I hope the update to ios 5 does not cause the older model keyboard to suddenly lose function key performance. Similarly, I'm not sure the older model keyboard will work if you upgrade to Lion.
I called Apple support about this issue and they found some info on the same iPad forums I have read, but they had no inside scoop on whether the issue was going to be addressed in further ios (or Mac OS) updates.
If you want to keep your new keyboard, you might just have to wait and see if the issue is resolved.

No function key with apple wireless keyboard

I recently purchased an Apple Wireless Keyboard. I have it working just fine with my macbook pro, and want to use keyboard special characters as a mouse because I'll be using my old laptop as a TV entertainment computer. The only problem is that the function key seems to not exist, which is crucial in order to use special keys as mouse movement keys. If I bring up the keyboard viewer and type with the wireless keyboard, the keyboard viewer shows the keyboard layout without a funciton key. I would expect something like this with a non-apple peripheral, but not a standard apple keyboard. What must be done to enable or have all of the keyboard's keys, function key in particular, recognized?
BTW - I did apply the firmware update for the keyboard, but to no avail.
OS X 10.5.8

Constant Problems with Apple Wireless Keyboard & Mighty Mouse

My Apple Wireless keyboard constantly loses its connection with my Mac Mini (I have brand new batteries and the latest firmware update) but it is sitting directly in front of it!
I can get it to work when I go to sys. pref., delete the keyboard, and start the set up assistant. However, once I get the keyboard working this way the Mighty Mouse beings to move insanely slow!
Please help me, I bought these two products because they were directly from Apple and I just assumed they would work great with my computer.
Thanks

Hello craig:
If you are near an Apple store, take both products in - they can test them there. If you are not near a store, call Applecare (since your products are still in the one year warranty). They may replace one or both.
A third possibility (one you do not wish to hear) would be the BT module itself having a problem.

What functions work with iPhone 3GS on OS4 with Apple wireless keyboard?

I've successfully paired my Apple Wireless Keyboard with my iPhone 3GS running OS4. I can type messages and emails, but many functions seem to be missing, like moving to the "send" button in email or moving around my iPhone screen. Does anyone know where to find info on what keys on the wireless keyboard perform what functions on the iPhone? Thanks

On topic, there are a few things that work with the keyboard on to iPhone:

* F8 - Pause/Play iPod
* F9 - Skip Track

* Eject - Disabled (unless Apple adds a mini-Disc)

Wow, troll. Stop bringing up dead threads...especially when you can't get your information correct.
The eject key hides and displays the softkeyboard in text entry mode.

Dropping wireless connection with Apple Wireless Keyboard

I've got a new bluetooth chip in my iMac from support at my location, a new wireless keyboard and I'm still having issues. Wireless connection dropped 6 times typing this one sentence. Aaargh. I've been busy with this ever since I bought the computer. On irregular intervals (absolutely no regularity whatsoever) the computer loses connection with my Apple Wireless Keyboard. So if I have a new iMac, with a new bluetooth chip and a new keyboard how come this issue is still an issue? It's driving me mad. And possibly the guys at the centre as well.

Hi mvoltage
Do you have any appliances with motors or other mobil telephone devices setup near the iMac?
Both motor flux fields and Cordless Phone Base Stations can and will interfere with the operation of the iMac's wifi and airport signals.

IPad 2 does not find or pair with Apple bluetooth keyboard - waiting -

When I turn bluetooth on on the iPad 2 it keeps searching with the words 'Searching' and 'Now Discoverable' as it searches. the A1314 keyboard is on and is the same keyboard I use for my MacBook Pro, which it pairs perfectly with. The iPad simply never stops searching and never connects or offers connection. The keyboard is turned on and batteries are good and also it works every day with the MacBook Pro.
Any ideas for a solution?
TIA,
Ken

According to the keyboards user guide, the keyboard is discoverable when the indicator light is flashing. Are you trying to pair the two while both are discoverable?
Try resetting the iPad before trying to pair with the BT keyboard. Press and hold simultaneously the Home and Power buttons for 10+ seconds, ignoring the power off slider, until the Apple logo appears.
Dah•veed
I did all of that but not sure that any of it did as much as simply turning off the computer to make sure that the keyboard was not being used by it. I now find that I could have turned off the bluetooth on the computer or made the keyboard 'unselected' by bluetooth to allow the keyboard to be free to be selected and paired by the iPad.
Thanks for you help on this.

Since Snow Leopard, Mac Pro will not sleep with Apple wireless keyboard

I have an odd problem, now on 2 Mac Pro (Nehalem) with 10.6.1:
Since Snow Leopard, the system will not sleep as long as a) the user is logged on (any users/profile) and b) the Apple aluminum wireless keyboard is 'attached'.
If I log off first, sleep works fine. If I turn the keyboard off first, it's fine. But if hitting 'sleep' when logged on, the screen turns dark, sleep process begins, but the system comes right back (with a note 'keyboard disconnected'.
It's as if the keyboard disconnects after sleep, but the system still monitors it, and wakes up.
Note: Wake for bluetooth devices IS NOT ENABLED!
Here is the console log (relevant info):
10/18/09 4:57:33 PM kernel System Sleep
10/18/09 4:57:48 PM kernel Wake reason = UHC1
10/18/09 4:57:48 PM kernel System Wake
10/18/09 4:57:48 PM kernel Previous Sleep Cause: 5
10/18/09 4:57:48 PM kernel USB (UHCI):Port 1 on bus 0x1d has remote wakeup from some device
10/18/09 4:58:53 PM kernel System Sleep

10/18/09 4:58:55 PM kernel USB (UHCI):Port 1 on bus 0x5a has remote wakeup from some device
Does anyone have any idea? While on, the keyboard never disconnects - i.e. I don't have any other issues with BT or the keyboard (this is the 2nd I tried).
Also, my apologies for double-posting this earlier in a different forum; cheers!
Thanks,
Dan

Hi,
and thanks for posting that.
That's too bad. I am probably going to log off if needed, rather than going wired, but I can't believe that this might be more prevalent than just me and there is no 'fix'...
Anyone ?!
Thanks as always,
Dan

Vista 64 bit with apple wireless keyboard volume, cd eject not working

I successfuly got Vista Ultimate 64 bit installed in Boot Camp on my Mac Pro, and got my Apple wireless mouse and wireless keyboard working after some trouble. But I still can't use the volume control or the cd eject or brightness control keys in Windows Vista.
Any suggestions?

Maybe you could update the Boot Camp drivers. That happened to my internal keyboard, and updated drivers some times fixed it. Other times it fixed itself after a few restarts.

Connecting remotely with Apple wireless keyboard, ARD 3.5, and Lion

I don't know if the keyboard issue is related but here is my problem:
1. I have used Vine Server with .NET VNC viewer for years and iTeleport for close to a year to remote to my iMac. Vine Server stopped working after I upgraded to Lion so I bought Apple Remote Desktop 3.5 and installed it.
2. I can connect once, but after I disconnect, I can no longer connect using iTeleport; instead, it tries for a long time then gives a timeout error. After I restart the Mac then I can reconnect, but only if I restart from the login screen or the Apple menu; if I use either "sudo reboot", or "sudo shutdown -r now", then I still cannot reconnect. I cannot test this behavior using .NET VNC viewer because it is a 30 minute drive away.
3. When I try to connect using .NET VNC, I get an error that the server is not a VNC server; however, I have never managed to attempt to connect at a time when I could connect using iTeleport.
4. When I connect using iTeleport where I can see my Mac, the Mac dispays the message that it cannot find a bluetooth keyboard. This message does not appear on my iPad screen, but it does display on the Mac's monitor any time I attempt to connect using iTeleport whether or not the connection is successful.
5. The behavior is the same whether I connect through the local wifi or over the internet.
6. I have never been able to connect using the iTeleport connect utility that comes with iTeleport.
Right now, I would be happy if there were a special restart command that I could execute over ssh that does the same thing as clicking the restart button on the Mac. Does anybody have an Idea how I can get this working again? Driving home to reboot every time I need to remote in is not an option.

Thanks for the quick reply Skydiver! So...I really should buy a second wireless keyboard so that I don't have to go through the hassle of re-pairing the keyboard when i switch devices, yes? Yes, I believe I've answered my own question as I now sit here with my MBP attempting to pair it to the keyboard. Oy. Taking forever. I don't mind buying a second -- for $69, it seems to be the most efficient thing to do. Now I just need to figure out a way to designate which wireless keyboard goes with which device. Time to buy a little sticker! Thanks again.

Auto-capitalization not working with apple wireless keyboard?

My ipad settings have auto-cap on. When using the on-screen keyboard the auto-cap works. When I switch to the wireless apple keyboard auto capitalization fails to work.
Any suggestions?
Does anyone have the wireless apple keyboard working with auto cap on iPad?

Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I have the same issue but mine also includes the period shortcut.
If I am hooked up to my keyboard the auto stuff doesn't work even if I manually tap the screen to type.
The fact that this does not work is the issue - not laziness in relying on shortcuts. This needs to be fixed.
