Ipad 2 doesn't recognise wireless keyboard apart from the function keys this has only just occurred . Previously no issue at all.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

When i try to send email from my ipad i get the message The recipient "£)()&&£)" was rejected by the server. This has only just started to happen and I don't know why. Please help. I have tried lots of things now and cannot solve it.

"Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done.

I have tried to download a movie via iTunes. Every time the download nears the end, it stops and restarts from the beginning. This has happened 5 times. Any solutions?

I have tried to download a movie via iTunes. Every time the download nears the end, it stops and restarts from the beginning. This has happened 5 times. How can I clear the download or solve this?

If it is a HD movie, it may not be enough. The iPad also need working space.
Try download to iTune (computer) and "Move" to iPad.

Is there a function key on Apple Wireless Keyboard to mimic the roundel key (home)?

While the cheap bluetooth keyboard has a home key, alas, Apple Wireless Keyboard doesn't have it to work well with iOS devices. Can it be programmed into F5 or F6 then?

Good luck on the switch. I know I initially struggled with the layout change of many things. If I could give one recommendation/word of advice it would be:
"Learn shortcut keys."
As a Windows user of 15 years, I had become reliant on my mouse (and the occasional alt/tab keys) that I never really explored the world of keyboard shortcuts.
After taking several weeks to finally get the hang of all the various keyboard shortcuts I zip through things now, almost rarely use my mouse except when an ease to use (or remember) keyboard shortcut is available.
Good links already posted above, just more of my 2 cents.

Wireless keyboard stucks on fn function key

Hello Guys,
i bought a brand-new Apple Wireless Keyboard and its working very smoothly, but i have some problems with the fn + function keys Combo. I'm using Mac OS X 10.7.3 and when i press FN + F11 (for example, but it's concerning all function keys), it should show me the Desktop. But unfortunately only Volume gets louder till i press it again. I have this problem only the first time pressing the keys. For all following combos its working till i dont press any key for some seconds.
Any others having this problem too?
Greetings and thanks for help,
Patrick

I returned the Keyboard to the Reseller and got a new one: it works perfect now! Can be closed.

Firefox does not print in full web pages. It prints at best the left half of the page. This has only happened recently. It is not my printer as I get full page printing from from Internet explorer and other applications. Help!

Firefox has started printibg only the left side of a web page . I have tried adjusting the settings without any success in fact it made the print area even smaller. I have adjusted all the settings on the print menu but cannot overcome this. How can I return to printing full web pages?

Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />

Apple keyboard software overrides QuarkXpress function keys

HELP
I recently installed Tiger 10.4.11 update, and the apple keyboard software update 1.2 for use with a new Apple keyboard. However, in QuarkXpress 6.5, now the function keys F7 and up do not work in Quark — presumably because they are being used by the keyboard software. I presumed when an application was running (e.g., Quark) IT would override. I need my F7 key in Quark!
Is there a way to make the application take precedence? Or, is there a way to disable or uninstall the apple keyboard software? The function keys for use with itunes and dashboard, etc. are far less important to me than having the function keys available in software I use daily for work.
Thanks so much!
jelcroy

Thanks for the reply — I tried that, which seemed the obvious solution, but I cannot find the place to change that — it is NOT in the keyboard shortcut list in the keyboard preferences.
The F7 thru F9 keys on the new keyboard control playback, which I presume to be itunes and\or DVD player, judging from the icons on those keys.
Haven't found a place to disable them. In adding apps in the keyboard shortcuts, which I tried, it doesn't allow for the key combinations needed to restore the Quark functionality I am missing since the keyboard software update, which I wish I hadn't done. There's not enough functionality in the keyboard that isn't available in a myriad of other ways to make it worthwhile, especially when it means giving up the convenience if those commands in Quark, which is where I spend the majority of my time.
Anyone have other ideas? Can the Apple keyboard software be uninstalled or disabled?
BTW, the control F1 command to turn off keyboard access doesn't work either.

Have iPad Air and Apple Wireless Keyboard. Can I access emoji from the wireless keyboard?

RE: iPad Air and Apple Wireless Keyboard
HI, I have an iPad Air paired with an Apple Wireless Keyboard. Can I access emoji from the wireless keyboard?
Thanks for any help on this subject!

Eureka! I kept searching and found the solution. So, if anyone wants to know here is the solution: press fn and the up arrow on F Keys (top) row (it's the one all way to the right. The iPad keyboard will then pop up on the iPad and from there you can access the emoji keyboard.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

My iMac 24 can no longer be paired with the keyboard; it doesn't recognise any keyboard at boot up, even the one it is paired with. Can anyone help, please?

Thank. Simon

Brian - The batteries are fine and there has only every been one keyboard paired with it. We have tried my MacPro keyboard as well, and it will not even recognise that there is a discoverable keyboard nearby.
Thanks, Simon

I have a first gen iPad, and it will randomly go home from the Internet when I don't press any button. I have a wireless connection at home.

I have a first gen iPad, and it will randomly go home from the Internet when I don't press any button. I have a wireless connection at home. Is this a known bug? What can I do?

You maybe running low on memory since you are using the original iPad with iOS 5.1.1 and the iPad is crashing. This may help and it certainly won't hurt.
Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Do this before you launch Safari again. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. You don't have to clear the history.

Hi, I just returned from the Apple Store in Larkspur CA and paired my wireless mouse with one of their computers, but it's won't pair with mine at home. Bluetooth is on and it recognizes the wireless keyboard, see's the wireless mouse but won't pair.

IPad 2 and Apple wireless keyboard (function keys not working)...

Hello all,
I just purchased the Apple wireless keyboard to use with an iPad 2. It pairs fine and I can type away but none of the function keys work (brightness, volume etc). Anyone have any ideas? I think these worked fine on earlier keyboard models.
All help gratefully accepted,
Irlandés
P.S. I'm running iOS 4.3.4 (8K2)

Lrlandés-
I never tried my function keys before, but most are working under iOS 4.3.5. I get no response for F3, F4, F5 or F6. I suspect those may be App-specific.
What model keyboard is yours? Mine is MC184LL/A, according to the box it came in.

On my ipad mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo). I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server.

My husband and I share an email address and if he misses a day checking email on his notebook, he doesn't receive the items that I have sent to Trash on my iPad Mini.
Appreciate suggestions.
[The curious thing is, if I "move" the deleted emails from Trash on my iPad Mini into the Inbox, I can go to my notebook, open my online email and they are back in my ATT/Yahoo Inbox.]

Is your Yahoo account set up as POP3 or IMAP?

Apple Aluminum Wireless Keyboard Pairs, but letter/number keys don't work

I just got the new Wireless keyboard and I paired it, and the Function keys work fine, and when I was pairing, the number keys worked as well(to type in pairing code). But when I try to type in any search box or type anywhere, it won't. even the numbers won't work. the Tab and Delete keys work though. Along with the function keys.
The funny thing about this is that the number keys worked when i was pairing, but not now. Also when I start up my Mac and have to type the password in, the letter keys worked. But once on the desktop its a no go.
Please help.

24 hours later, the initial fix resetting the Universal Access settings as discussed above, the keyboard proved to be so flaky, that I took it back to Apple and exchanged it for a new one. The weakness seems to be in the bluetooth communication perhaps, with the keyboard accepting the new settings and then forgetting them somehow. So if you are a user reading this thread and you aren't getting any joy from the solution above, the solution is to take/send the keyboard back to Apple for a new one. The one I have now works just fine. It paired up much more quickly and it is typing this note without any issues. So far. I also picked up a wired keyboard in case I have to throw this one against the wall if it starts screwing up like the other one. Either way, I am covered.
