Ipad Keyboard dock: Volume Control issue with headphones.

I recently got an Ipad keyboard dock. I am unable to control the volume when a headphone is plugged in. Is there a setting that needs to be adjusted or is it bad hardware? The dock volume control works well without a headphone though...
Thanks!

While it's nice that they tell you this on the keyboard documentation, it's still very undesirable.
Apple, please update this in a future OS release so I don't have to plug the headphones in every time I doc.
Thank you.

IPad keyboard/ dock volume control

No volume control when docked and connected to speakers. The dedicated buttons do not operate unless the 1/8" line-out jack is disconnected. Workaround is plug your stereo into the headset jack.

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.

HT204389 Volume control issues with BlueAnt S4

Does anyone have a workaround with receiving volume using the BlueAnt S4 hands-free unit? It voice dials just fine, but once it connects, you cannot hear the dialed person (even with the volume maximized on both the unit and the iPhone 4s).

Check - Settings > Sounds > Change with Buttons > On
This locks the ringer volume at whatever the slider above this setting is set to.

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:)

Replacement Keyboard
Volume control issue with a non- Apple Keyboard
[Sunday - July 29, 2012 - 2:18pm]
Question: I just purchased a new keyboard in place of the orginal for my iMac which gave out this morning. The brand name of the keyboard is
ONN & it's a wireless board. I've encountered an issue that is a deal breaker - if there is no possible way to correct it. The volume control buttons used to
increase/decrease/mute the volume do not work on this product. I bough this keyboard because it was one of the two that was Mac compatable at my
local store. I realize you get what you pay for but hope there is a soulution!
**Sidenote: I was curious, anyone had any other issues with these keyboards?
Some additional information:
When I woke up this morning, sat down in my computer chair, turned on my iMac and pulled up Textedit. I placed my hands on my faithful keyboard and within moments I realized that it had met it's end. I was quite upset that my original, sleek white iMac keyboard was now a thng of the past but realized that I'd need a replacement very soon in order to get my paperwork done.
Unfortunately, I did not have time to ride forty-five minutes to my local Apple store and I didn't neccesarily want to hand over the cash for one of the pricey keyboards at the time because I am going on a vacation within the next few weeks and each dime counts. So, I decided to visit a store that obviously would have the cheapeast deals in the meantime. So, I headed to to Wal-Mart to make a quick purchase
As I walked the aisles it soon became evident that today's market still is not on point when it comes to having Apple compatable hardware, softwore or anything for that matter. As I quickly skimmed the keyboards I ran across several that caught my eye, but of course, they were all made specifically for Windows. So, finally I approcahed two keyboards that were Mac compatible. The first was way too large and came with a mouse, which I did not need. The second caught my eye and I knew that this would be my purchase.:::
The verdict: an onn wireless keyboard that was both affordable and also gave off a sleek and modern apperance. (Retailed: $24.00)
So, I got home and began using the board. For the first how I was actuallly very satisfied. I like the buttons and the feel of the board. Then, I encountered a problem that made my interested for the new keyboard vanish.
The Issue: On the boards layout, the (F2) key has a symbol that notates the decrease volume control button, (F3) of course would be the increase volume button & lastly the (F4) button represents the [mute] button.
However, these buttons don't work. Sadly, I am not aware of how I could possibly change this issue or if it would even be possible. I sincerely hope that it's possible - because I like the convience of the volume control keys - they were actually my favorite part of the keyboard. Manually changing the volume by going through system preferences does not sound fun to me once so ever. I guess you could call me spoiled but I don't think I can even keep this board if it doesn't have the ability to change volume/mute via the keyboard.
This is a shame because the keyboard it'self isn't bad at all and I actually somewhat like it. So, if you have any information or an answer to this question - I'd truly appreciate hearing your responses! Also, do keep in mind I am a rookie when it comes to computers as a whole so try to simplicate things for me if that is nessecary.
Closing negative note on this keyboard: As I typed this I started encountering a very annoying problem. As I am typing in a line, forming a sentence the keyboard would randomly start typing in pargraphs above and below as well. I'm not sure if this is something that I caused by pressing too hard with my hands or if this is a deffect. Either way, I will saving my receipt and the boxing for this product until I hear further news.
I hope to hear from you soon and I appreciate your help very much.
Have a great day,
David Travis Center

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.

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.

Hi All. My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume. On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.

Hi All,
I tried to search through the community, but with the sheer volume of posts, I didn't find anything that seemed like the same issue.

I haven't tried wired ear phones, but I am sure they'll be the same way.
It's very random, but consistent enough to happen several times per day.
Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
I have restarted it and also did a Hard Reboot and it didn't help.
Thanks Again,
Scott P.

Well there you go, when you advertise it just be sure to say that you can't even see the scratches at half brightness and see how it goes.
Of course you are saying you want $500 for one with many scratches on the screen, has been dropped, but the scratches aren't visible at half brightness, and has no warranty. Or I can buy a refurbished iPad 4 WiFi 32 GB directly from Apple with no scratches and a one year warranty for $499. http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD514LL/A/refurbished-ipad-with-retina-display -wi-fi-32gb-white-4th-generation
Why would I buy yours?
I wouldn't pay more than $300 for a used model with your specs in perfect condition. But yours is far from perfect. I think your high point is $250 which is why I said 50%.

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.

5s Volume control issues

Anyone having volume control issues? My wife's 5s (less than a month old) is having issues with the up volume. If she mutes it using the down volume, it won't go back up. I can get it to work if I hold the volume a long time and it eventually comes back. Or last time i had to remove her case, hold the volume and release several times before it finally kicked in. Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
Please test in other computer to see if the issue persists, it may be caused by the bad output channel.
But for better solution, I recommend you go to MSDN forum for further help.

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.

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.
