  • Is it possible to use the Apple wireless keyboard with the iPhone 6? Will the Magic Mouse work with iMovie on iPhone6 Plus?

    iPhone 6 page says that iMovie is a (free) application available for iPhone 6. When I use it on the desktop I need a mouse. Should I expect all controls to be touch-sensitive, or is it possible to use the wireless Magic Mouse? Similarly, if I want to type an email or a long document, is it possible to use the Mac wireless keyboard to enter text? With the iPhone 6 Plus taking over for laptops (phablet), it seems to me that input tools are relevant. Maybe what I'm asking is whether the iPhone6 (OS8) has drivers for these devices. Please advise.

    Apps that are designed for iOS devices such as the iOS version of iMovie are intended to be used entirely by touch. It's worth noting that iMovie for iOS is not absolutely identical to iMovie for Mac OS.

  • How can I get my wireless keyboard and my new magic mouse to enter info into a Christmas list app on iphone 3GS? Do I have to move to another room? I have bluetooth on in my iPhone.

    I have wireless keyboard and a new magic mouse. I want to enter data into a Christmas list app on my 3GS iPhone. Too time consuming to just type on iPhone keyboard. How can I get keyboard and mouse to be 'connected' or recognized by my iPhone? I have Bluetooth "on" in my iPhone.

    You cannot connect the mouse.  This is not a feature of iphone
    You can learn about connecting a keyboard in the manual:

  • Mapping problem with Wireless Keyboard and Japanese iPhone

    Hi everyone:
    This seems to be a slightly obscure question -- at least, I can't find a ready answer for it with the search terms I've tried, possibly because most people don't use this particular accessory with the iPhone.
    I have an iPhone 4 that I bought from and use on Softbank, the carrier in Japan, where I live.  While visiting the United States recently, I bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard from an Apple retailer.   I wanted to carry it with me for use with my iPhone, so I would reliably have a convenient way to access the Internet without being confined to the touchscreen keyboard.  (I live in a rural area where WiFi spots are uncommon, but my iPhone's access to Softbank's data network is fairly good and consistent.)
    However, to my frustration, I can't use the keyboard due to a mapping problem.  The Bluetooth connection is fine -- the iPhone can discover the keyboard.  However, the mapping is off: typing "Q" gets me "A," typing "Z" gets me "W", numbers and punctuation are off, etc.  The key point: This is NOT a problem with the International Keyboard settings (under the Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> International Keyboards menu).  I have the Keyboard setting set to QWERTY, which is the layout of the Apple keyboard; I have tried all the other possibilities, just in case.  None of them work.  Setting the Keyboard setting to QWERTY does not make the external QWERTY keyboard map correctly.
    The rather ironic addendum is this: While on a recent trip to Tokyo, I visited the Apple store in Shibuya and, after concluding the main business of my visit (discussing my MacBook's battery problems with an English-speaking staffer), I took out my iPhone and keyboard and asked him about my mapping problem.  He started with the Keyboard menu, tried the same things I had tried, realized they weren't working, and puzzled over the problem for a while.  Then he did this: He hit a key combination (I believe) that brought up a menu on the iPhone's screen.  "Ah, there's your problem," he said, and selected a new setting.  The problem was instantly fixed.
    To my chagrin, however, I neglected to write down what "Ken" had done to fix the problem.  Argh... I was looking at the iPhone upside-down; I'd already taken up more than half an hour; people were waiting, and I guess, being used to living in the countryside now, that I'm not used to Shibuya crowds any more.  Anyway, I didn't take careful notes or ask him to walk me through it, and now I cannot recall or repeat what he did.  And I still can't use my keyboard!
    Any ideas or advice, anyone?  How did "Ken" fix my problem, and how can I repeat it?  Much, much appreciated, in advance.

    THAT'S IT.  Sir, you have solved my problem.  Thank you!!
    And I feel a little silly; this will doubtless seem to an expert as if it should have been obvious all along.  But isn't that always the way in hindsight?
    Here's what happened: The key combination I was trying to remember was "Apple/command + space on the hardware keyboard," as you just said above.  The "menu" it brings up is, apparently, a list of keyboards.  I take it that this list is the same as the list of the "virtual" keyboards on the iPhone?  I have never had more than one external keyboard -- the Apple Wireless -- but I do have several keyboards active virtually, as the iPhone in Japan seems to come with both the "Nihongo Ten-key" and the "Nihongo Romaji" keyboards active, and I added several other languages as well.
    When I hit "Apple/command + space," this list comes up on the iPhone's touchscreen.  Highlighted and checked at the top is "English," just as if it had been selected all along.  But nonetheless, when I first turn on and pair my keyboard with the iPhone, I need to perform this key-combination action, as if to "reselect" English, and then the keyboard promptly starts working properly as QWERTY.  I can only assume that one of the others had been default-selected before -- presumably one of the Nihongo ones? -- and that this was causing the interference.
    Thank you again!  You have made me and my wireless keyboard very happy.

  • Looking for leather holster case large enough to hold iPhone 4 with wireless keyboard attached to it.  Needs to hook to belt.

    Is anyone aware of a leather holster that is big enough to accommodate the iPhone 4 with the wireless keyboard attached to it?  Needs to be able to be clipped to a belt.  Thank you.

    I have this one. It works well (if you're willing to give up your bumper.

  • Some function keys on wireless keyboard not working on iphone 4

    I'm having trouble with the brightness and volume keys on my wireless keyboard when its paired with my iphone 4. They won't respond at all. Any fixes? i'm on version 4.3.5

    Since the wireless aluminum keyboard was originally intended for personal computer use, I don't believe any of the function keys will work for your iPhone or even an iPad device.

  • Wireless Keyboard for iPhone?

    Does anyone know if Apple's wireless keyboard (using bluetooth) will work on the iPhone 3G?

    where is the hyperlink for your information ?
    This PDF link has a good explanation of BT profiles:
    https://techtrain.samsungwireless.com/tekweb/Misc/Main/Accessories/Bluetooth_Pro files.pdf
    The HID profile is the one needed for keyboard connection, and isn't included in iPhone 3.0 OS
    where do you know, that this is not in the new os 3.0 ?
    I know, because I have been using all the 3.0 betas. If you read the latest Apple site page listing the new 3.0 features, you won't see it there. Only stereo audio (A2DP) with audio/video remote control (AVRCP) were added.

  • Rapoo Wireless keyboard E-6300 won't pair with iPhone 3GS

    As the title says: Rapoo Wireless keyboard E-6300 won't pair with iPhone 3GS.
    Any ideas?

    my iphone 4 been paired with both a sandberg mini bluetooth keyboard and an imac keyboard key <pun>
    is that I have to make sure it only paired with 1 device at the time or it will not work
    but since it can pair with the appletv then I guess it's not that

  • Use iPhone as wireless keyboard???

    Hy everyone,
    I have now searched both iTunes app Store and the iPhone forum and the web and can't find anything that would turn the iPhone into a wireless keyboard for your Mac.
    Have I missed something?
    Does anyone know if such an app exist?
    I don't want to use Remote Buddy as long as it's an web based app.
    Thank you.

    Hi roaminggnome,
    didn't want to use an external keyboard for my iPhone but use my iPhone as an external keyboard for the Mac. Like I use it as a mouse for my Mac.
    But thanks anyway - did see the 1000's of postings where ppl want to use a keyboard for the iPhone in my search

  • Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard and iPhone

    Is it possible to pair the Apple Wireless Keyboard with the iPhone using Bluetooth??

    My vote for this in a future update.
    The iPhone is useful as it is, but when I try to use it out-and-about to admin a load of unix machines it gets very boring typing long and complex command lines in using the onscreen keyboard. The BT keyboard I already have which I used to use with an iPaq was excellent for this.
    Onscreen KB - great example of the breed for "normal" use, but please give us the choice Apple!

  • Iphone 4G and wireless keyboard ... Not connecting

    I'm just adding to the thread.. I have the same situation with my iPhone 4 and the original apple wireless keyboard.
    In Settings/General/Bluetooth:
    The phone bluetooth goes into discovery mode.
    Displays the name of the keyboard and says "Not Paired"
    I click the keyboard name and I get a spinning "apple clock" and nothing happens
    I have waited for it to time-out and tried again and still nothing.
    If I hit the Return key on the keyboard I get a very brief message giving me a passcode followed by a box saying "could not pair with Michael's keyboard"
    Every time I try it I get a different 4 digit passcode number.
    Keyboard connects fine with Mini-mac and is disabled when II try to connect on iPhone.
    Please only educated responses. Went to Apple store and "genius" "lol" told me "oh, keyboards have passcode of 1111. I immediately called him an idiot for making ** up. I wish they would just say they don't know.

    I am having the exact same problem when trying to pair my iPhone 4 with apple bluetooth keyboard. Did you find the solution, hockeystick23?

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard - some keys not working with iPhone 5

    I just bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard (2011) and paired it with my iphone 5 (iOS 7.0.3).
    All keys work except the following:
    Space bar
    Delete
    Caps Lock
    Down Arrow
    Tab
    I can understand if iOS has no concept of Tab, but Space and Delete are essential.
    Did I get a bad keyboard?

  • Wireless keyboard and iPhone 3GS

    I am looking to buy an Apple wireless keyboard to hook up to my iPhone 3GS, but will it link via Bluetooth?

    YES IT WILL WORK.
    I know because I do it.
    I don't know where Barry Hemphill got his info. I originally bought the Apple Bluetooth keyboard so I could run a home theater Mac from across the room. When I got my iPhone 3GS, it was already known that the iPhone officially supported the Apple Bluetooth keyboard. When I tried to pair them, it worked, and it's worked ever since. And it works with my iPad as well. I understand that non-Apple Bluetooth keyboards also work.
    I took the Apple Bluetooth keyboard with me on a trip once where I knew I didn't need my laptop, but I wanted to type out some longer emails. It worked great, and was much less painful than long-form text entry on the iPhone keyboard.
    The key to using the Apple Bluetooth keyboard with an iPhone or iPad is knowing about holding down the power switch on the side, so you can turn it off. This prevents unintended keystrokes from waking up an iPhone or iPad during transport.
    Here is the official Apple tech note. The iPhone 3GS is listed.
