Ipad Keyboard Dock not recognising shift+1-9

My iPad Keyboard Dock was working beautifully with both my iPad (1) and iPhone (3GS) until I docked this afternoon. All the keys are responsive, including the numerical keys. They all respond with ctrl, alt and cmd pressed. However, the numerical keys from 1 - 9 will not respond when either shift key is pressed. All other keys work fine (I'm using it now, but having to use on screen keyboard to open brackets). It is the same on both the iPad and iPhone.
Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this? Or am I looking at a new keyboard (or the inconvenience of using the Onscreen Keyboard for symbols)
Thanks

i been using my ipad keyboard dock and never appear that,just when i try with iphone it say no compatible but with ipad never,sorry.

IPad Keyboard Dock Not Working

I have a new iPad keyboard dock. Every 3-5 minutes I get a message on my iPad "This accessory requires an application you do not have installed. Would you like to install it from the app store?" If I click Yes, it takes me to the store, but no applications are listed. I've searched through everything and cannot find any information about a software requirement. If I click No, nothing happens. Either way, the keyboard stops working after the message appears and I have to take the iPad out and add it back to the device to get it to start working again. Any thoughts?

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.

IPad Keyboard Dock Not a Supported Accessory

my cousin just gifted me a ipad keyboard dock. when i connect the ipad to the keyboard dock, it says "this accessory is not supported by ipad" ????
this is kinda weird as its FOR ipad.
i tried connecting usb cable to the keyboard dock and then docked the ipad... and all i get is charging... the keyboard is just not responding!
no typing, no functionality... except charging... anyone any idea what is wrong?

well the same thing happened here but here is what i did.
1) called apple support and was put on hold
2) shook the keyboard
3) cleaned off the silver connector with damp cloth
4) air blasted the connection ports on ipad and keyboard
5) tried again and it worked
6) hung up
update
as soon as i hung up from tech support .... it stopped working
Update 2
Solution!
While I was cleaning the connection points on the ipad keyboard dock i noticed that there are two white plastic guides that on each end of the metal connector. When I did a side by side comparison of a working keyboard vs mine i noticed that the top part of my left white plastic guide seems to have broken off. Seems like a manufacture defect but I don't know what apple will say. They are usually pretty good I hope they replace it for me.

IPad Keyboard Dock connects but some keys do not work.

My iPad Keyboard Dock connects to my iPad and certain keys work (qweryuio are the only working keys). I have tried using a 12" ruler but this makes no difference. I have also turned my iPad off and on again but this makes no difference. It also doesn't seem to make any difference to use the connector. Has anybody got any solutions I could try.
many thanks,

Hi Blissful Living,
Do you have another device you can test the Keyboard Dock with?
Were you using the ruler to improve the "fit" and connections?
Did the Keyboard work in the past?
It seems really suspicious that one row of keys work and other rows don't. Keyboards operate as a grid of rows and colums and one failure mode is a row (or rows) or a column stops working.
I would definitely test this with another iPad, or even iPhone?

Does iPad Keyboard Dock Work With iPhone?

Does the new iPad Keyboard Dock work with the iPhone? If you put an iPhone 3GS into it, will you be able to use the physical keyboard to type on the iPhone's screen?

I have an iPad keyboard dock that I used with the orignal iPad. Tonight I found it in a dusty closet and wondered if it would work with my iphone 4s. Plugged it which wasn't particularly easy but when I got the angle right, it worked as I was able to start a message in Notes. But it did pop up a message after exiting Notes that this device is not compatible with the iphone or something to that effect. I did not have the dock connected to a power supply so I don't know if it will permit typing and charging. But it will allow you to type on the iPhone 4s at least in Notes:)

Using iPad/keyboard dock combo in your lap

Hello all!
My ancient Windows laptop that we use as our secondary computer is dying, and we are seriously considering replacing it with an iPad. Something like 95 percent of the time, this computer is used by my wife, sitting in the recliner in our office, for Web surfing and light email -- in other words, pretty much exactly what the iPad is designed for.
It would sometimes be useful for her to have a real keyboard, though, since she sometimes uses the laptop to take notes at meetings or write longer emails that might get frustrating using the on-screen keyboard (she is a touch-typer). I am wondering how awkward it would be to use the iPad with the keyboard dock not on a solid surface, but sitting in a recliner or on a couch. I know the iPad is quite light but because of the keyboard plugs in in portrait mode it looks like it would be somewhat top-heavy in that configuration.
I know I will get responses here telling me that the iPad is not a laptop replacement and blah blah blah, to which I say pre-emptively: YES, I KNOW THIS. Like I said, virtually all of the use that it would see would be just what it's designed for. I'm sure that using the plug-in keyboard in one's lap would be more awkward than using a real laptop; I'm just trying to find out if it would be doable, so that the iPad wouldn't be completely useless in those scenarios.
Thanks in advance,
Josh

The connector on the Apple keyboard is of bad design. The leverage that the iPad places agains the dock connector tab on the keyboard (because it only docks to the keyboard in the portrait mode) puts too much stress on that connector tab.
I have had to have two keyboards replaced, because the connector tab came loose, and they have only been used on my desk.
Apple should have put a dock connector on the landscape side of the iPad itself (too) so that you could put the iPad into the keyboard in the landscape position, which would put less physical stress on the keyboard connector tab.
I could never imagine using the thing on my lap in the current embodiment.
This keyboard connection makes it almost impossible to use on an aircraft as well, and should be redesigned.

IPad Keyboard Dock and Keynote

The *iPad Keyboard Dock* arrived, but when I attempt to use it with iPad Keynote_, all of the slides remain sideways_, which means that for all practical purposes, the iPad Keyboard is useless.
Is anyone else having the same problem, or is it just me?

It is not a fault, it is by design in Keynote.
Keynote only operates in Landscape mode as slides are landscape shaped and displayed only in landscape. If you watch the Keynote demo here :-
http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/keynote.html
It states at about 20 seconds in "because slides are horizontal it works in landscape mode"
I'm afraid you will have to do your Keynote docs when not using the dock.

Lightning to 30-pin Adapter works great with iPad Keyboard Dock

In case anyone was wondering, the Lightnng to 30-pin Adapter works great with the original iPad Keyboard Dock and an iPhone 5. In fact it is better than the 4S was, as that tended to pop out. The Lightning adapter stays in place, and there is plenty of support in the back plastic to keep the iPhone in place, with any tiny stress happening at the Dock connector end: the Lightning connector itself seems very solid indeed. All the keys work, and charging is fine.
(In answer to the implicit question: my employer blocks email at work on its systems, and it's convenient to have the keyboard hold the phone in place, and also charge it, which is the problem with the Bluetooth keyboard.)

Might be a question better asked of the manufacturer of the iHome device.

I am using iPad1. Running v4.3 and when connecting to wifi iPad keyboard does not work. Keyboard works for everything else including typing this question out. Why would it not work when typingin password for wifi connection?

Lots of WIFI needs a username and password to get access. I guess you're lucky and yours is set up unsecured.
Normal secured WiFi requires only a password to get access. The password is used to encrypt traffic between your device and the WiFi access point. If whatever you are using requires a username as well then it is not simply normal secured WiFi. It might be a subscription WiFi service like GOGO, ATT, etc., or a service with authentication, i.e., college campus, etc. To help you out we need to know what you are using and what connection dialog you are being presented with. You don't have exactly the same problem as the original poster. He is having a problem entering a password into the password dialog that iOS presents when one tries to connect to a normal secured WiFi network. Could you clarify exactly which WiFi service you are using.

HT1492 my wireless keyboard will not recognise Q-O and Z-M

Hi my Wireless Keyboard does not recognise half the keys. I have gone through all the troubleshooting basics but nothing has changed.
It is the top row of letter Q-O (but P works) and the botton row Z-M. any ideas?(I am using a wired keyboard right now!)
Thanks

...I'm an idiot. My power supply wasn't connected properly. (the light was green, not red to indicate charging)
Once I fixed that, everything is working properly.

Can the "Apple iPad Keyboard Dock" unlock an iOS device?

I have a iOS device where the touch screen isn't working any more after some water damage, and even replacing the front display doesn't help. It's apparently a problem on the circuitboard that I cannot get fixed.
I only need to be able to unlock it so that I can connect it to iTunes and back it up, so I wonder if this "Apple iPad Keyboard Dock" can be used to unlock the device.
Does someone own this keyboard and could try this? Can you unlock the iPad or iPhone and enter a passcode after pressing the wake button, without having the swipe on the screen?

No. The iPad Keyboard Dock connects to the iPad through 30 pin connector on the iPad. Your PC wouldn't have that connector.
Instead, you should just get a USB keyboard, which basic models are often just $20.

Apple iPad Keyboard Dock or Apple Wireless Keyboard

I have the iPad 1 (the original one) and I would like to ask if the Apple iPad Keyboard Dock is better than the Apple Wireless Keyboard. Thank you

The keyboard with dock probably doesn't require batteries, but is a bit more bulky. It also doesn't suffer from the key stroke reppppppeat like the BT version does once in a while in some apps. However, I opted for the BT version.
