IMac keyboard conflict with iPad

When I connect my iPad to back of the iMac, my keyboard ceases to function. When I checked the system profiler, i noticed that everytime i plug in the iPad, the apple keyboard connected to a USB high speed gets replaced by the iPad. The keyboard could no longer be detected. How can i fix this?

I had many errors trying to sync to my PC (xp) and found out that the problem was that the computer daylight savings option was disabled. Just enable it and restart iTunes, then connect the iPad without sync errors.
Cheers!

    Unable to sync iMac address book with iPad. Can you please help?

    I have the same problem as Sheilaza but haven't been able to solve it using the advice offered.  The same problem applies to my Calendars. When I look at my iPad settings in iTunes, it says:
    Sync Contacts
    Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud.
    Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPad.
    and the same for Calendars.
    On the iPad, in iCloud settings, I have checked 'Contacts' and 'Calendars' as 'ON' but the Calendar remains blank and the Contacts are a very old version that was somehow created when I set up the iPad initially.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

  • Keyboard conflict with mac version?

    Hi!
    I hope you guys can help me.
    I kind of... spoiled water on my iMac's keyboard and now it's dead! So I'm buying a new one, (since the computer is not mine but my job's office) but I'm searching the model I need which is the usb keyboard with numeric keypad but it says on the system requirements that you need Mac OS X v10.6.8 or later and my the version on my iMac is Mac OS X v.10.5.8 I would like to know if there's going to be any problem if I buy the keyboard and the OS is a lower version... please help!
    Thank you,
    Sandra.

    It will work but some of the special function keys on the top row won't perform the function printed on them.

  • Intel iMac keyboard compatible with G5?

    The subject is the question: Will the wired keyboard that came with my 2009 iMac work on a G5 iMac?
    Thanks for any help.

    Should work. Keyboards are keyboards. I'm using an iMac G5 Keyboard with a new Intel iMac.

  • Can I use my iPad 3 keyboard care with iPad Air?

    I am considering upgrading from iPad 3 to the new iPad Air.  Will my Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover work with the new iPad Air?

    Will the BT keyboard functions work? Yes, they should. Will the keyboard attach correctly to the iPad? We'll probably have wait until it's released and try it out.

  • Will a Palm portable keyboard work with iPad?

    I have a portable Palm keyboard that I use with a Palm TX. I want to know if it will work with an iPad, Does anyone know? Thanks

    Palm has made a number of wireless keyboards and not all of them were even compatible with all of the different models of Palm handhelds. Different model keyboards required different drivers based on the OS version of the handheld. The one you have may well workwith an iPad or it may not, you will need to try. But I would not get my hopes up.
    I can tell you that the Apple BT keyboard works a treat with my iPad 2 and the two look smart together.

  • My iMac is conflicting with my Comcast router

    Hi, I have a new Comcast connection that's driving me crazy.  All other devices (including a PC laptop, wireless printer, iPhone and MacBookPro) on the network are trouble free, but the iMac keeps loosing connectivity with the internet intermittently.
    The iMac shows that it's connected the the wifi signal but will sporadically loose internet connectivity.  I can connect to other open networks in my building and maintain those connections indefinitely without trouble but this comcast router doesn't seem to be happy with my iMac.  When I run diagnostics it never seems to show the disconnect (telling me that all connections are active and healthy), but when I look at the router's roster of connected devices it doesn't show the iMac as one of them.  The sporadically it will reconnect and operate without issue for anywhere between 5 minutes and 2 hours before repeating the same cycle.
    I spent some time on the phone with Comcast's tech support and they suggested I replace the integrated router/modem as they believed it was a hardware issue.  Just finished doing that today and the issue persists.
    Thoughts?

    Hi Donald,
    I was able to change the channel to 11 from 1 (I was only offered 1, 6 and 11).  It hasn't changed the problem.
    Did you also reset the router?  If so, try the following:  Repair permissions, restart your computer & recheck your router channel settings.  Problem still exist? 
    If you have AC, I would give them a call. 

  • Imac itunes sync with IPad

    I use the cloud to sync mail, contacts, music etc.  The sync for Itunes is no longer working.  Everything else is syncing ok.   Music does not sync from my Mac to my Ipad or Iphone.  I just upgraded to Mountain Lion thinking this may have been the problem but, I still am not getting music to sync. I have plenty of storage space left on my Ipad and Iphone.   Any suggestions?

    Thank you for this response.  I actually needed to upgrade my Mac anyway as I was operating on an old OS version.  I checked Itunes and it said it was syncing.  I have 3100 songs on Itunes adn only 1200 are synced to my Ipad and it won't sync anymore songs.  In Itunes, some songs are flagged with a cloud and others are not.  Not all the cloud flagged songs are synced to my Ipad though.  Any thoughts on how to get all the sngs to sync?
    Thank you.

  • Sync iMac Address Book with iPad

    I have two iPads. I can sync my iPad with the address book without a hitch. However, I cannot sync it with iPad2. I created an archive and sent to myself, but I couldn't open the .abbu file. Any advice?

  • Accessing iPad keyboard dock with iPad in its case

    I got the keyboard dock, but it doesn't seem to connect when the iPad is in its official Apple fold-over case. It's a pain to take it in and out of the case and I'm trying to decide if that's a dealbreaker. Surely, Apple thought of that, right???

    We have an adapter for this purpose. It extends everything and is even small enough to fit into an iPhone bumper.

  • Pairing wireless iMac keyboard to iPad 4

    Am trying to pair my iMac wireless keyboard to my iPad 4, but don't know how to obtain pin or pass code. Thanks much!

    First, you need to unpair it from your iMac:
    Press and release the On/Off switch on the wireless keyboard to turn it off.
    On the currently-paired Mac, choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Bluetoothfrom the View menu.
    Select the Apple Wireless Keyboard on the left side of the Bluetooth preferences pane.
    Click Delete in the lower-left corner.
    Then you need to make the keyboard discoverable:
    Press and release the On/Off switch to turn on your wireless keyboard.
    The green LED should begin blinking if the keyboard is not already paired and connected to another computer. The blinking LED indicates that the keyboard is in the discoverable mode. If you don't pair your keyboard with your Mac within three minutes, the indicator light and keyboard will turn off to preserve battery life. If this happens, press the On/Off switch to turn your keyboard on again. Note: If the LED doesn't turn on, make sure you have good batteries in the keyboard and that they are properly installed.
    And then follow these steps on your iPad:
    From the Home screen, choose Settings > Bluetooth2 and turn Bluetooth on. iPad searches for nearby Bluetooth accessories.
    Choose the Bluetooth accessory, and then enter a passkey or PIN if prompted.
    Bluetooth headset: Refer to the documentation for the headset to determine the passkey.
    Bluetooth keyboard: Type the passcode displayed on the iPad on the keyboard and then return.
    When pairing is complete, you can use the Bluetooth accessory with your iPad.

  • Need to Install Safari 6.0.2 on a white Intel core duo iMac. Had to throw out 6.0.3 because of conflict with required software. Downloaded wrong version that was for Mountain lion (I am running 10.7.5). It installs but won't open.

    Of course I can't throw it away since I get a message it's part of the sytem. I can show package contents and throw those away, but evidently not a good idea!!

  • I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

    I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

    Thanks - I guess it is like there were two of me!
    I bought the iPhone first and it seemed natural to link it to the (work) e-mail address which was in constant use. The iMac for home use came next and it seemed natural to use my home e-mail address, particularly as I knew by then that I would lose the work address after my imminent retirement. The same logic went for the recent puchase of the MacAir. I am not sure what happened with the iPad (also a recent purchase) - iTunes seemed to puch me towards the same ID as the iPhone.
    It is not a huge problem - just makes my persona look schizoid! Otherwise very happy with everything Apple.

  • 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.
