IPad Keyboard Dock doesn't work w/ iPad Case

This is quite disappointing. I got the keyboard dock today and tried to use it with my ipad while sheathed in the Apple iPad case. Won't work. The connections won't seat properly with the case on the iPad. So I cut some case material away from around the connector and it works intermittently, won't hold a consistent connection. Holds connection just fine w/o the case.
I guess I'll have to wait for a 3rd party case that doesn't interfere w/ the dock, because I'm not dragging the iPad out of its case every time I get back to my office. I'm assuming the same will happen with the regular, non-keyboard dock.

I also got my keyboard dock today and found the same problem. it is a PITA to take the iPad out of the Apple case.
The keyboard does appear to be solidly made. I do like the form fitting case...
Not sure which accessory to return, the case or the keyboard...
I do wish the online store would put a warning about the case not working w/ the keyboard... Getting the right case for a device is a never-ending search...<arggh>
I wonder how well a bluetooth key board will work; that may be my option if I decide to keep the case and not the keyboard. another advantage, I would hope in a bluetooth keyboard is that I would not be restricted to portrait mode only.

IPad keyboard dock doesn't work - how to get repair?

After a couple of days it just stopped working. It seems to dock still, but none of the keys work. Tried several times, but every key is completely unresponsive. I couldn't find a way online to report the problem (automated help asks for HW serial number, but the keyboard docks don't seem to have those). Do I bring the dock back to the store where I bought it to arrange for repair?

I'm on my second keyboard, as the connector tab in the keyboard is weak, and gives up the ghost very quickly. Went to Apple Store for replacement, and it was free. You are right there is no serial number on the keyboards, so they just take the old one and give you a new one.
None of them will last very long until they change the design of the keyboard dock, and add a landscape mode connector to the side of the iPad. Putting it in the stand in the portrait mode puts too much leverage/stress on the connector tab in the keyboard itself, so it fails . . .

Hi and welcome..
Connect your iPad to your computer. Launch iTunes. Make sure your iPad is recognized in iTunes under Devices on the left.
Select the Summary tab then click Update.
Just to make sure your iPad software is up to date.

TP T60 with VISTA and dock doesn't work with DVI

Hi, at the first excuse my English.
I am beginner ]:->
I have Lenovo T60 with vista. I have advance dock from lenovo. DVI on dock doesn't work correctly. External display is distort, noisy.
After start of Vista is all right. But when I use blank white page monitor switch off and on in a circle. Monitor is in good order. Advence is in good order. (I change it 3 times).
Thank you for help or inspiration how to find a solution.

ok, i think i understand you now. you have an advance dock with a third-party PCI graphics card and can't get it to work under vista. my best recommendation is to try different drivers. i am not 100% positive but your PCI card might have to have the same GPU as your T61 to be compatible. perhaps someone else with more experience on this can help.

My external Apple USB Keyboard letters doesn't work, but the numbers do. Why and how can I fix this issue?

My external Apple USB Keyboard letters doesn't work, but the numbers do. Why and how can I fix this issue? Also, When I open the Keyboard Viewer, the letters will highlight only if I hold the modifier key(s) "Control" or "Control and Option". I really need help with this. I don't have any other computer to try it on, so I will have to test it on a friends computer sometime. But perhaps solutions that I can try right now? Thanks.

The dock doesn't work

Since downloading Mountian Lion today my dock doesn't work.
The Finder simply (and quickly) restarts and the screen flashes grey everytime I hover over it.
There are 2 accounts on my macbook pro. On the other account this doesn't happen.
Do I just wait for an update?

it's a third party app or custom setting you did.
or you might need to reinstall ML, however this sounds like a third party app since it doesn't happen with the other user. think about what you have running in comparison to the other user.

Keyboard & trackpad doesn't work

hi, i've a problem with my ibook g4, keyboard & trackpad doesn't work. please help me.

Hi onetechs,
You need to give more information on the problem. Did they suddenly stop working or was it gradual? Does the computer still boot up? Was there physical trauma (eg. drop/spill/etc.)? How old is the computer?

My iPad keyboard dock no longer works. Any suggestions on what I can do to bring it back?

I've had the keyboard / docking station / stand for over a year now and it has never given me any problems. A kid was touching a bunch of keys the other day and I'm not sure if it froze or has a shutdown mode or what...but it literally stopped working. It recognizes the iPad when I place it on the pins, but NONE of the keys work.
Help!!

The iPad keyboard dock, will it work with the 3gs/iPhone 4 when iOS 4?

When iOS 4 comes out?
I don't know wether this is considered as speculation or not but it is not intended to be. I want to know wether someone can confirm this or not.
Thanks.

A more important question you should ask is why you would prefer this to a bluetooth keyboard that will definitely work once iOS 4 is released. The keyboard dock has a limitation of only allowing the device to work in portrait mode. I would find this a little annoying with an iPad and entirely unacceptable with an iPhone. I have used keyboards with Palm and Pocket PC devices before and there are definitely times that you would rather switch to landscape mode.

My Dock doesn't work

I have seen this on other posts but have yet to read a answer that works on this issue. With my dock hiding I can not use the mouse to view the items on the dock while its hiding. I can restart the machine and it will work for a while but then goes back to not working.
I am on a G5 imac with 1.5 gigs of ram running OS 10.4.4
I have tried deleting the pref files but still does not work.
Thanks for your help!

Hey I was having a similar problem. I'm using a Logitech wireless keyboard & trackball. I love it, but I had to be a little squirlly with it to get it to work. Here's what I wrote in another forum.
After removing the "com.apple.dock.plist" from my User>Library>Preferences> folder and restarting with ONLY the original optical mouse that came with the computer plugged in I tried the dock and other clicking functions. They all worked great!
SO, then I took the batteries out of my logitech track ball but left them in the logitech keyboard and I plugged in the Logitech USB reciever. Immediately, the OS came up with a warning, something like "I don't recongize your keyboard!" and it asked me to push the buttons near my shift keys. So I did and regained full functionality of both the keyboard & optical mouse on the dock and other clicking.
Everything was working great. Of course, my dock doesn't have any of my normal apps in it, but it was working!
Then I shut down again, removing the optical mouse and replacing the battery in my logitech wireless trackman. When I started up again, its all working just fine! The Dock pops up and magnification works and hiding works and the expanding menus at the top work...
I think I'm back to where I was. I'll write more later if I encounter any more problems. I don't know if all the steps above are necessary or even if you have a third party mouse and/or keyboard, but this has worked for me.
Good luck,
-John

Apple Universal Dock doesn't work after full charge

last night, I put my ipod nano into the Apple Universal Dock.
I worked just find with the apple remote.
I stopped the music using the remote, then watched TV about 2 hours.
After that, I saw my ipod was full charged, and the dock station hasn't worked any more.
Also, the remote doesn't work as well.
I can use the play button on the ipod, but no sound out anyway.
There is another archive thread with the similar problem to me, but no answer yet.

Anyone used to face this problem before, and got any idea/solution? help please?
or do I need to send it to the store where I bought?
