IPad 2 / Bluetooth Keyboard

Is there a way to generate a "send" sequence (required in iMessage) from the Apple Bluetooth keyboard? Or is there a way to program tahe sequence on the keyboard? Hard to believe Apple missed this. HELP!!!

OK, I just went to get my keyboard. yeah, big oversight. Option-return (which clearly says "enter" on my keyboard) doesn't work.
So we need to submit feedback. This is for sure a bug.

Sending an iMessage from my iPad using bluetooth keyboard?

I have the Apple bluetooth keyboard paired with my iPad Air. I've been using it in iMessage lately and unlike iMessage on OSX Mavericks, pressing the "return/enter" key does not send the message. Is there a setting that needs to be changed so that my "return/enter" key sends the message? Or is there a keyboard shortcut that sends the message? Thanks!

I highly doubt if there will be a solution for this request under Apple iOS roadmap. I've asked the same request as you are. No solution up to this point.

IPad and Bluetooth Keyboard

My iPad no longer responds generally to the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard. I have changed the batteries, disconnected and reconnected via Bluetooth, restarted the iPad, and even tested the Keyboard on the MacBook Pro, with which it works fine. However, on the iPad I am only able to type the connection code for Bluetooth, and use the 'Brightness' and Volume buttons. Nothing else works. I cannot type after it has been connected. Any suggestions?

1. Does anyone know if the keyboard dock comes apart so that you can use the dock stand alone?
It doesn't look like it in the pictures.
2. If the answer to question #1 is NO, does anyone know if you can use the non-keyboard dock without it being hooked to AC power?
You should be able to but we'll know for sure in March. You could also just buy a case that doubles as a stand.

IPad 2 Bluetooth keyboard issues

G'day all,
I have recently purchased an iPad 2 Wifi 64gb 3g.
I just updated the software version on it to the latest off I tunes this morning.
I purchased a keyboard dock for it (genuine apple) and it works fine but it is a bit of a pain to use because I need to continually take the protective cover off the ipad to use it.
I decided to purchase a Bluetooth keyboard instead (once again genuine apple unit), it connects fine and it works, but some of the functions don’t, eg: volume play/pause FF/RW. Pretty much all the function keys on the top row do nothing except the one that you push to bring up the keyboard on the screen.
I know these function keys do work because when you push them and the screen is off it brings the ipad back to life and shows you the lock screen.
The keyboard dock works perfectly and all ipad specific keys work no problems (top row).
My question is-
Is this a problem with my keyboard or is it a software issue with the ipad 2 and not accepting the genuine apple Bluetooth keyboard. Has anyone else had this problem?
Many thanks,
Mal.

I keep having to restart my iPad 2 so my keyboard can connect to it (square button and sleep button simultaneously). It's getting annoying...

How do I use my apple bluetooth keyboard with touch and will I still be able to use it with my ipad?

iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 4.3 Software)

I have an ipad and a bluetooth keyboard which was initially set up with a family member's account. Their account has been erased I am now using the ipad but cannot get the bluetooth keyboard to connect. no device is recognized. any suggestions????

I have an Apple iPad Mini With Wi-Fi 16GB and a Rock Bluetooth keyboard that was previously used by my daughter. Her information was erased from the ipad and I have set it up as a new user under my account. All went well until I tried to set up the keyboard. When I go to Settings and turn on Bluetooth the ipad does not detect any device. I know they were paired and working when she was using them. Could it be because the ipad/keyboard were operating with her account and know won't connect to mine? We do not live in the same city so how would I clear the keyboard so that I could connect it to a 'new' ipad?

Hi sugaliko,
You may need to set up your BlueTooth connection to the keyboard again. Use the steps in this article for guidance -

My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus 3.0) is recognised by my iMac but will not pair? I have paired it with my iPad using code 8310 but it still will not pair with my iMac. Can someone help please?

My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus brand - bought recently in Thailand)(similar to Mac small keyboard) will pair with my iPad using code 8310,and is recognized by my iMac but will not pair?
There are very scant instructions with the keyboard and no mention of any code (the code was prompted by my iPad).
I have followed the instructions but it still will not pair with my iMac!
Can anyone help please?
My iMac is 20 inch Mid 2007 OSX10.9.1 4GB RAM

Hi All, thank you for you suggestions. I have been unable to find any website for the maker, but have looked at several Thai/cambodian sites incl <http://www.buycoms.com/Article/8435/index.asp> which mentions the keyboard being suitable for tablet or windows. No mention of iMac! although the box is branded to indicate Mac compatable.
I'm thinking that maybe it just will not pair with an iMac.
Ill keep looking for the maker website, which might come on later in the future? maybe?
thanks again.

My Bluetooth keyboard no longer wakes my iPad

Hi Everyone,
I've noticed that in the last couple of weeks that my iPad is no longer woken by pressing the 'space' key on my paired (Apple) bluetooth keyboard. I'm finding this rather annoying as it's been how I wake the iPad since I started using the two together and it's become a habit.
Is anyone else experiencing this or is there a setting I can change somewhere to correct this? Also, in addition, does anyone have experience of keys 'double tapping' whilst using the bluetooth keyboard?
Many thanks in advance for any help!

Using an iPad as a Bluetooth keyboard for a mac?

Does anyone know if it is possible to use a new iPad as a Bluetooth keyboard for a mac?
I am aware there are a few apps that claim to do this over wifi however I am looking for a Bluetooth solution that would be more permanent?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not aware of any way to do do this. There are, I believe, some apps that allow you to remote into a computer and control the desktop, but that's not quite what you are looking for.

How do I change the name of my bluetooth keyboard on my iPad?

I recently was awarded a grant to buy a class set of wireless bluetooth keyboards for my classroom (26). Since I teach at a middle school, the idea of all my students pairing at the same time gives me nightmares. I took the set home and attempted various techniques I've come across to change the name of the bluetooth keyboards (preferences/bluetooth/gear icon/change name) and it seems to work, but whenever I pair it with an iphone or ipad it still just comes up as "Bluetooth Keyboard." Naming these would really help. Thanks!

Hello:
I looked as well, but cannot find a way to change the name (except on a Mac). Apparently, Apple uss the generic name on devices that are really personal ones.

I have a Belkin bluetooth keyboard attached to my Ipad 3. I would like to know if there is any way to have the arrow keys scroll down when browsing web pages?

I just got my Ipad 3rd generation a few days ago and for my case I got the bulky BELKIN Bluetooth keyboard. I notice that when I press down the arrow keys it does not seem to scroll down when searching a web browser or looking up web pages. However it works fine when scrolling down on office apps such as Pages. I'm wondering if is there a way to make the arrow keys on the keyboard scroll down when on an internet web page like my Mac does.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I use an Apple bluetooth keyboard with my iPad. In messages I can't find a way to "send" a message without tapping on Send on the iPad's screen. I've tried every key and key combo that I can think of. Am I missing something?

I already have multiple devices and by far I like my iPad the most over laptops and the iPad. That including checking out my friends MacBook Air.
The difference for me is the touch interface on the screen itself for things that do not require a lot of typing. For me, the iPad is more "magical" than anything else I've used.
Again, I do appreciate your answers but you don't know my situation. Not everything is as it is perceived without knowing me and what I have to go through.

Can an iPad Air 2 battery be used to recharge it's wireless Bluetooth keyboard?

Can the battery of an iPad Air 2 be used to recharge it's bluetooth keyboard ?
I have a female-female USB adapter to connect the 2 male USB cords

Hello Eric3171, I'm sorry but the battery in a iPad only supports itself and can't give power to other items. If you have a blutooth keyboard then it must have some sort of charging system. If it has a UBS charger, then it can be plugged into any computer (doesn't have to be Apple). If you still have the box it came in, see if there is a manual/ guide on how to use it. Hope this helped you.
Have a nice day
Lydia

Do you find that connecting to a Bluetooth keyboard creates issues w/ the new iPad's performance?

Do you find connecting to a Bluetooth keyboard creates issues w/ the new iPad's performance?

I have an Adesso case with bluetooth keyboard for my iPad 2. No affect on performance. Keybord easier to use compared to on-screen keyboard. Plus it has more keys compared to on-screen keyboard.
