IOS 5 Bluetooth Keyboard Bug

I have the Boxwave Keyboard Buddy Case and when I am in the Messages app, it seems to think the virtual keyboard is there, but really isn't.......I can't see the vKB....its just a blank space...this happens up to 5.1.1, but didn't happen before iOS 5.....if I start to scroll the mesages the all appear, but the little scroll bar on the right starts above where the vKB should be....this doesn't happen all the time....and it you scroll the missing keyboard away it goes back to normal and they start at the bottom. not top...but comes back after a while....normally when the spot to type is selected and it rotates to portrait, then back to landscape....and I send a message, the message I just sent goes to the top pushing all other messages out of view....thanks for your help...hope apple fixes it someday....not a big bug though...
Picture attached below:

Hi Brian,

No bluetooth detection at all, between my iPad, my iPhone 3GS, my iPhone 4S, and all other bluetooth devices !!!!

  • Macbook Pro Retina and Older Bluetooth Keyboard Bug

    I have the macbook pro retina and the older full size white bluetooth keyboard.  When I wake the macbook from sleep mode, the keyboard repeats all keypress many times.  Like the keys are sticky.  Turning the keyboard off and on fixes this problem.  I am running OS X 10.8.1. 

    I have the same problem with my older white Apple Wireless Extended Keyboard, which had been working fine with my 2009 iMac. But I experience the issue sporadically with my new Mac Mini. I've read reports of people resolving some BT issues by turning off "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" in the Advanced pane of the Bluetooth System Preferenes Pane.
    There are also people having the issue on iOS devices using various Apple BT keyboards. No help, but interesting to note that it's happening across various devices, keyboard models, and OSs.

  • Keyboard shortcuts no longer work iOS 8.3. Triple tap Home button on Bluetooth keyboard no longer works either. Help!

    Since updating my iPad Third Generation ("New iPad") to iOS 8.3, Keyboard Shortcuts no longer work. Also on my Logitech EasySwitch Bluetooth Keyboard, triple tapping the home button on it no longer works to trigger Accessibility, even though that is still set up for triple tap in Settings and continues to work on the iPad itself. How can I get these functions back? Wah!

  • Can't type in iOS 8 notification response with Bluetooth keyboard

    When I receive a text message and tap on "Respond" in the notification, I am unable to type in dialog that pops up when my Bluetooth Keyboard.  Even if I bring up an on-screen keyboard, it still won't take any input.  When I turned Bluetooth off, I was able to respond in the dialog without a hitch.  This looks like an iOS 8 bug to me, but I figured I'd post here and see if anyone else is having a similar problem.

    I'm having the same issue.  Only place my bluetooth keyboard won't work.  Was hoping the update would fix it but, no

  • My daughters bluetooth keyboard won't work with voiceover since upgrading to iOS 8.1 - how can i fix this?

    My daughter has a Greatshield bluetooth keyboard which she has been using successfully in school with her iPad mini. she is blind and uses voiceover to navigate and to have what she has typed read back to her.
    Since updating to iOS 8.1 the keyboard no longer works when voiceover is on but does when voiceover if off. My daughter is not able to use it without voiceover.
    Any suggestions?

              Was in the Apple Stor this morning in Indianapolis and picked up a Bluetooth keyboard to use with my iPad mini 2. Sadly neither I nor staff could get it to work with voiceover working. The staff, both sales and tech, appeared as shocked as I was. I was surprised that over 6 months Apple had not fixed this issue. Now I am wasting my time trying to back up reports of this problem on Apple's website. I know Apple over the last 10 years had given a lot of us so many advancements, but maybe that's changing? All I know is that as a busy professional, Apple has cost me about 4 hours of lost productivity today. I wish I could charge them for it!       

  • IOS 8.2 And bluetooth keyboard troubles.

    After the upgrade to iOS 8.2 my iPad air2 and iPhone 6 do not recognize the apple bluetooth keyboard anymore. Restart does not work. and when I try to connect a notification is made that the connection cannot be made.
    Does anyone now how to fix this?

    Hello JHvL,
    As I understand it your iPhone isn't able to connect to your bluetooth Apple keyboard after updating to iOS 8.2 even after a restart. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help you resolve that issue, named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Bluetooth connections
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • My apple bluetooth keyboard is not paired by my Apple TV 1st generation. Is it a bug of new sw version?

    my apple bluetooth keyboard is not paired by my Apple TV 1st generation. Is it a bug of new sw version? My apple keyboard is a qwerty keyboard that is normally function with other apple devices (iphone5, iPad, etc.)

    Thanks for your description of the procedure. I selected the device by scrolling down and then pressing Enter. Then, I received the passcode on the screen, that I entered by the keyboard and the pairing was completed. the search for a new device continued, and I had to stop the search. May be you have to proceed to a complete reset of the Apple TV. Hope it works.

  • Since I upgraded to IOS 8 whenever I use kensignton bluetooth keyboard iin any mail app it scrolls up whenever I type message and I cannot see what I am typing.  Is there a fix?

    Since IOS8 upgrades I have had problem with my iPad Air whenever i use kensington bluetooth keyboard (an older one) whenever I type in body of mail message.  It scrolls up so I cannot see what I am typiing.  this is true on comcast  connect app as well as mail app in iPad.  Problem does  not occur when i use keyboard in iPad air screen.  First occurred with IOS 8, then disapeared wth later IOS 8 update, but has returned with most recent IOS 8 fix.
    I have reset all settings, but problem persists.

    I suspect problem is related to older Kensington keypad, however, I did see on a Google discussion group that someone suggested some changing of settings on iPad.  Trouble is, I cannot find that group again.  Any thoughts?

  • Apple bluetooth keyboard doesn't allow text input on iOS 8 with voice over but allows navigation using arrow keys?

    Hi, upgraded to iOS 8 on my blind sister's iPad 2 but now the Apple Bluetooth keyboard doesn't seem to recognise text entry, the arrow keys still allow navigation using voiceover. Have had trouble before with the keyboard in iOS7 but have solved by reseting the iPad in settings. Any ideas? Sister is really struggling as she can't use iPad's software keyboard. Thanks

    My wife is a blind user too. In iOS 8 it is fussy about Quick Nav. on or off. We have an newer iPad but be sure Quick Nav is OFF (left + right arrows together) then try text entry. Hope it helps!

  • Bluetooth keyboard mapping issues with iPad (3rd gen) after iOS 6.1.2 upgrade

    Others may have figured this out more readily than I did, but since I did not find a post on this topic, I decided I would provide this information.
    After upgrading my iPad "3" to iOS 6.1.2, my bluetooth keyboard mapping was a bit off.  Hitting most keys provided the desired result but not all.
    Typing \ would result in ] for example.  Typing shift + 2 would result in " rather than the expected (and marked) @. 
    To fix this I tried turning Bluetooth off and on, etc.  No joy.
    FinaIly, I went into "Settings," selected "Bluetooth," selected "Apple Wireless Keyboard," clicked on "Forget this Device."  
    I then powered off the iPad and the bluetooth keyboard.  Next, I powered on the iPad and keyboard and went back into "Settings" where I paired the keyboard with the iPad again.  Everything then worked as desired. 
    It's possible, that you may not need to go to the trouble of powering off and on the iPad and the keyboard.  Simply "forgetting" the device and then pairing the keyboard with the iPad again may suffice.  

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon.  The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight.  Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A."  The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC.  Do NOT use an iPhone charger.  Do NOT use an iPod charger.  Do NOT use a computer's USB port.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
    According to Apple:
    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

  • Bluetooth keyboard using iOS 4

    One of the deficiencies for me with earlier iPhone OS versionsd was the inability to use a bluetooth keyboard. iOS 4 offers this facility and it worked really well for me. I own a legacy folding keyboard from Freedom, and their website was no help. But it just worked. Iphone found the keyboard, issued a couple of tips to me, and I was connected. Kudos to Apple for building in connectivity to an older product.

    Same issue, it is really annoying to press send all the time!

  • Is there a plan to include autocorrect for bluetooth keyboards in future iOS updates?

    I have recently purchased an iPad Air 2 and to increase useability purchased a Logitech +type bluetooth keyboard. I'm very happy with both but disappointed in the lack of autocorrect function between the bluetooth keyboards (not a logitech deficiancy) and iOS.
    Is there a plan to fix this please?!

    Is that because you also ask the same question to Logitech and that was their response, since you're using a 3rd party software

  • On iOS 5 for iPad, is there a home button key on the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard that will allow you to go to the home screen or multitask? Perhaps by pressing the escape key or something?

    Sorry, but no one who would know can discuss unreleased software such as iOS 5 in these forums. We'll have to wait, probably for the official release, before such details will be known.

  • Create shortcuts for a bluetooth keyboard. iOS.

    Hi guys.
    I have a custom bluetooth keyboard. What i need is to process specific function keys of the keyboard.
    I googled, but i have failed to find any solution. I can not find any info about how to process a keyboard's event. I can see only methods which allow to read a text string.
    Is this possible at all?

    Try resetting PRAM.

  • Apple Bluetooth Keyboard volume key glitching since IOS 7 ?

    At first after installing the IOS7 the system couldn't find my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard.  After a few reboots it was found but the increase volume doesn't affect the volume it now changes the desktop as if I was clicking the mission control. The decrease volume doesn't do anything. 

    Found the answer from the forum to go to Sys Pref.  Sorry thought it was a glitch.
