Iphone with Bluetooth Keyboards

I have an Stowaway Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard that worked very well with my Treo 680. Now, I replaced the Treo (regretfully I sold it) for the Iphone, and I cannot make it work with the portable keyboard. I guess it is related with the lack of drivers for Iphone. Does somebody knows another portable keyboard that works with Iphone ? Thank you.

At the moment, no Bluetooth device aside from a headset will work with an iPhone.
Given Apple's stance on revolutionary technologies and natural interfaces, I doubt that's likely to change.

Mac Mini HD errors with bluetooth keyboard

I have a Mac Mini with bluetooth keyboard. I cannot boot to OSX Recovery (command R). Yet I need Disk Utility to repair HD errors.

I found this link searching Apple Mac Mini Support: Apple Wireless Keyboards: Using startup keys. Tried this and it worked on the second try. Worked using Restart in the middle of the startup chime sound, not Shutdown.

Do you have a question specifically?
How does it work?
Why isn't my configuration working?
I'm getting an error message?
What do I need to do to make it work?
Otherwise, Yes.

Using shift key not working with bluetooth keyboard

Am I missing something here? Or does the shift key not work with the iphone using a bluetooth keyboard? I'm using the logitech K810 for reference on iphone 6 iOS 8.1

The shift key works just fine on my Bluetooth keyboard. So I would imagine this is an issue with your keyboard.

IPod Touch with Bluetooth Keyboard?

Can I use a Bluetooth keyboard with my iPod Touch 4th Gen without anything 3rd party? If not, is there any 3rd party freeware that does not require jailbreaking that I can use?
I tried to Google this for an answer, but I only got jailbreaking solutions. I jailbroke my iPhone 1st Gen, and it's now really unstable. Also, the programmers on Cydia suck so their apps end up hoggish and glitchy.

Thanks, somehow I could never find an article on that on Apple.com...
But the Apple keyboard I am using seems to only work sometimes (my Mac usually can't connect to it).

Can you create a keyboard short cut for the dictation mic with bluetooth keyboards? The multi-button requirement to open the onscreen is annoying and unintuitive.

(Using an "iPad 3", i dont care what apple calls it) There should be a built in one button access to this from EVERY keyboard since this function is used to replace typing. An inherent Apple shortcut like copy and paste. I set my iPad up on a framed photo holder and use it like a moniter screen when I write, my Bluetooth keyboard is separated from it and makes writing comments and long articles less efficient because it requires extra steps with every dictation, while taking up screen space to have the on screen open. There needs to be a way to access dictation without the onscreen keyboard open, via any standard keyboard.

I was "reasonably frustrated" for having more than one answer offered for a question that not only didn't I ask, but made it clear I was aware of the information it appears they cut and paste at me.
I see it as: the title of my post should inform any person with an elementery handeling of the english language that I not only have this type of keyboard but am well aware it has a button for the ONSCREEN keyboard. That makes it look like they were just "approval hunting" #1. 2nd Grampa Joe's generic sounding response as a zero level newbie already who found "this" post where the first line is about keyboard shortcuts......WHEN there are better posts with more views and commets for exactly that. Approval hunting #2. I'd say based on both, my suspicion is darn reasonably justified sir.
"couldn't find the answer he wanted" no sir, I didn't get an answer at all, they answered OTHER questions. Questions I didn't ask, even after having explained myself more clearly. If anyone is a Jerk, it's you for jumping to eronous conclusions and attacking me for them on personal level. I made a justified claim based on the BLACK AND WHITE TEXT, that it still appears to me is well supported, you just flung mud.........who's the jerk?
Finally, your first post answered my question directly. Thank you. However under General/Keyboard, at the bottom you can make keyboard shortcuts. They may not function how I'm asking, but you can make them.

HT3131 Booting in Clamshell Mode with Bluetooth keyboard

I have a macbook pro with retina display which I am using with two apple 27" monitors. I use a logitech K811 bluetooth keyboard while the macbook is closed. I would like to be able to boot from the keyboard directly. Does anyone know how to do this? I believe I saw instructions somewhere but cannot find them.

Hey there paulh20016,
It sounds like you are needing to set your Mac to let bluetooth devices wake it from sleep. You can do this in your System Preferences:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth.
Click Advanced.
Select the “Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer” checkbox.
OS X Mavericks: Wake your computer with a wireless mouse or keyboardhttp://support.apple.com/kb/PH13997
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sync iPhone with Bluetooth doesn't work with me.

I have try to sync my bluetooth with my computer, and I just can make it work, I know I have to turn on my iphone's bluetooth and have it discoverable, I have done that and still not working, my macbook founds it but if I try to send something it said that the devicer is not connected, while my iphone still just searching for bluetooth devicers or compu, phone, etc.
How do I fix this?

It is not supposed to work. Syncing via bluetooth is not a supported feature, you have to use a USB cable. (you really wouldn't want to wait for bluetooth anyway, it is horribly slow for transferring multi-gigs of data)

Can I use USB mouse with bluetooth keyboard?

I am in need of some help. I recently got my iMac about 3 months ago and absolutely hate the magic mouse and want to use my rocketfish usb mouse along with the bluetooth mac keyboard. Is this possible or just wishful thinking on my end? I have searched everywhere for drivers and answers with programs etcetera and have came out empty. Help?

I've done so (and even tested it on my Macbook and the USB mouse works fine) but for some reason it will not interface with my iMac - and I've tired multiple USB ports and still nothing, which is why I brought up the keyboard being bluetooth I didn't know if that somehow may interfer with the USB mouse when the bluetooth keyboard is turned on and paired. I am pretty good when it comes to computers so I know what to look for and what I am doing (for the most part) but this has me stumped.

Startup key combinations with bluetooth keyboard?

In Lion, accessing the recovery partition entails holding down the command-R key combination at startup. Selecting a startup disk and starting up in Safe Boot mode also require holding key combinations at startup.
But under Lion and a bluetooth keyboard, none of these key combinations work. A wired keyboard works fine, but I no longer have one.
A friend who downloaded and installed Lion today just called and asked how he can do this with HIS bluetooth keyboard, so this seems to be a general concern.
Any tips? Thanks!

Some PC keyboards may map it to the Windows key, but on most it should be ALT.

How do you start the hardware test on an imac with bluetooth keyboard

How do you start the apple hardware test on an imac with a bluetooth keyboard as the instructions is to press the D key whilst restarting? And of course the imac cant see the keyboard whilst booting up as the bluetooth connection has yet to be established

Have you tried following the directions for running it from the DVD? The instructions are on the Hardware Test link.If you are correct and it cannot due to the wireless keyboard not making a connection you will need to borrow a wired USB keyboard.

Multiple key press's with Bluetooth Keyboard

I'm ready to update my mac to a new G5 imac and fancy getting the wireless bluetooth keyboard and mouse with it.
I have one question, has anyone experienced problems when holding down multiple keys on the keyboard and moving the mouse all at once (Using illustrator)?
In my office I have the misfortune of having to use a PC, I have had a number of wireless keyboard and mouse combos, all of them when using Illustrator and photoshop can not handle multiple key press's and mouse movement.
ie if I'm duplicating an object by dragging a copy of it across the screen, on the PC it will work but it always "releases" after a couple of seconds and drops the copy in the where I don't want it which gets very frustrating (this only happens with wireless).
As I do a lot of work at home, I hoping this wont be the case with the mac's bluetooth K & M.
thanks
Russell

The shift key works just fine on my Bluetooth keyboard. So I would imagine this is an issue with your keyboard.

Boot options with Bluetooth keyboard

I have an Intel iMac that came with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. There are a variety of options that can be used when you boot the Mac, such as hold down the C key to boot from a CD/DVD, hold down the option key to choose the boot drive, etc. When you have a BT keyboard, it doesn't connect until it is booted. How do you get the iMac to recognize, say, the Option key?

Here's the apple article on the subject:

I HAVE JUST BOUGHT A MAC MINI WITH BLUETOOTH KEYBOARD AND ON SCREEN ALL IM GETTING IS A PIC SHOWING TO SWITCH ON KEYBOARD AND ANOTHER THAT SHOWS A SWITCH ON COMPUTER. I CANT SEE A SWITCH ON THE MINI.

I have just bought a mac mini and am trying to set up. The unit is asking me to swith on bluetooth keyboard via pic 1 then pic 2 shows another switch.
I can't see this switch. can anyone help before i launch this thing out the window!

Symptoms
When using Setup Assistant to configure your Mac mini or iMac for the first time, the Bluetooth keyboard may have difficulty pairing.
Resolution
Use a wired keyboard to configure the Mac mini or iMac with the Setup Assistant. If a wired keyboard is not available, follow these steps:
Press and hold the Power button until the computer turns off.
Press the Power button to start the computer.
When a language selection appears, press and hold the power key on the Bluetooth keyboard so that the green light is flashing (discoverable mode).
Use the mouse to click the language you would like.
A code should appear on the screen. Enter the code on the Bluetooth keyboard and press Return. Note: No visible feedback appears on the screen while you enter the code.
The computer and the wireless keyboard should now be paired.

Mac mini safe boot with bluetooth keyboard

I have a mac mini running mac os 10.6
Cannot boot my mac mini. When I start from CD and run disk utility i am getting following error msg: "invalid b-tree node size"
Seems to be a fs problem and not hw. Safe boot might solve the problem : )
Now i am trying to do a safe boot but no success so far. I am having a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
Holding down shift key and power on is not working but holding down cmd&s for single mode or holding
down c for booting from cd is working.
Any ideas?

That message indicates that one or more of the directories on the drive has become damaged. Disk Utility can usually diagnose such problems, but not repair them.
Suggest you get a copy of Alsoft's DiskWarriot. DiskWarrior can usually fix such problems with no loss of data. There's no need to install DiksWarrior - boot the machine to the CD and run DiskWarrior from that.
