Ipad Keyboard Dock Stuck in Lock Mode

Hello,
I got an Ipad today, but we're having some problems. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Okay, so it was working fine at first. We bought the Ipad keyboard dock, plugged it in, and then started having problems. Soon after plugging it to the dock, the touch screen stopped responding to touch. We unhooked the ipad from the keyboard dock, but it was still unresponsive to touch. I realize that there is a lock button in the top right corner of the keyboard dock, but that isn't working. That button seems to be operating as a sleep/wake button.
I tried restarting it by holding the sleep/wake button and the home button simultaneously, but that didn't work. The problem is, I can't do the "slide to power off," because the screen is unresponsive to touch. I hooked the ipad back up to the computer and did a full restore, but it is still unresponsive to touch.
I can still rotate the screen; I can put the ipad to sleep. When I put it on the keyboard dock, the volume and brightness controls function.
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Thanks. Yeah, we called an Apple technician today, told him the problem, and he said that it is probably defective. We have a warranty, so we are mailing in this broken IPad. A new one will be shipped to us.
The weird thing is, the IPad didn't stop responding to touch until we attached it to the keyboard dock. The IPad could have been defective from the start, but I hope that the keyboard won't do the same thing to the new IPad.

  • TS3274 My Ipad display is stuck on portrait mode. I tried the toggle switch, turning off and restart and just now backed up into Itunes and restored and still is stuck on portrait mode and it won't flip to landscape mode. Is this a hardware problem?

    Has lock rotation been accidentally enabled within the control centre? If you swipe up the screen is there a circle with a lock symbol & if so is is greyed out or white - if white it is enabled.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    I need help. My ipad 2 was stuck in recovery mode. i tried to connect it to itunes and restore but after downloading the file and extracting the software there is a pop up message that says "the device is full. Deleting files and emptying your recycle been will help you restore." how am i going to erase files if i can't open my ipad. i dont know what to do. Its been 2 days now. please help. thanks.

    yes i am sure. This are the exact words... "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full. (Removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space". i tried some options, hard reset, redsnow, tinyumbrella but still it's stuck.

  • How do I remove an app from my Ipad that is stuck in paused mode

    How do I remove an app from my ipad that is stuck in paused mode?

    Tap the app so that it can complete then delete it by holding your finger on the app until it starts to wiggle then tap the "x" in the left top corner. This is the iPad guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPad_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf

  • 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.

    Are you using a valid Apple charger that came with the iPad?
    Attempting to use a computer USB port, an incompatible charger, or attempting to charge via a wall socket that only receives power from a wall switch — can all lead to a low, or depleted battery condition. Has this iPad been wet, or dropped?
    Verify all of the above, and correct. If the iPad still cannot hold a charge, consider taking to an Apple Store, or authorized service provider to evaluate it.

  • 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.

  • Apple iPad Keyboard Dock - Portuguese???

    Anybody knows if it will be the iPad Keyboard Dock in Portuguese???

    I don't believe so. However, there are Bluetooth keyboards that will work with iPad. Just make sure it has the Mac Portuguese layout shown here.

  • 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:) 

  • Can i use the old iPad keyboard dock for iPad2?

    can i use the old iPad keyboard dock for iPad2?

    Instead of inserting a ruler behind the iPad, I have found that putting the Keyboard Dock on an incline plane also works.   Once I found the appropriate angle of the incline, then I cut a piece of wood with that same angle, painted it white, andglued the Keyboard Dock to the piece of wood.
    Now I don't have to insert a pad or ruler between the iPad and the Dock.  The iPad now leans forward to the correct angle.
    The raised angle also helps  me type better due to the tilt.
