Keyboard input allowed with iPhone/iTouch remote software?

I have searched through the posts but haven't seen a definite answer: Can anyone confirm if keyboard input via the iPhone/iTouch remote software is available with the ATV 2.1 update? I don't have an iPod Touch (yet) so I can't test this out.
Utilizing an iPod Touch/iPhone virtual keyboard would be SO much better than the little white remote when doing searches in Youtube/iTunes music etc.

Works like a champ using 2.0 and Remote on my Gen 1 iPhone.
You can type in search terms and it behaves just like iTunes, narrowing the results as you type.
Plus you can scroll long lists of songs or other content very rapidly and use the alphabet column (like Contacts on the phone) to jump quickly.

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:)

Outlook Sync with IPhone 2.0 Software

Has the issue with the 2.0 software not syncing with Outlook been resolved. I did a search and it indicated that Service Pack 3 needs to be downloaded for Outlook 2003 to sync with contacts - but I need Calender items also.
I wanted to ask before I try again (concerned about losing data).
Thank you!

I've been syncing to Outlook 2003 since I got my original iPhone, through all software versions up to and including 2.0.2. No real problems and I don't have Service Pack 3 yet. Just SP2.

Problems with iPhone 3.0 software on iPhone 3G

I love the iPhone 3.0 software update. I just wish that Apple can fix the following problems now:
1. The phone starts to slow down, real slow, a day after the update.
2. Battery uses up like crazy, takes a much longer time to charge, and the phone gets really warm when in use or when charging ever since the update.
3. Sometimes other parties could call in - they were directed to my voice inbox even though I was not using the phone. A friend of mine told me that he was experiencing the same problem, and that somehow it was resolved by turning on 3G.
4. Data connection, for Emails and apps, became much slower than before.
5. Happened once: Somebody sent me a text message, and my iPhone kept on receiving that same message every three minutes for an entire morning.
A 3.1 update that solves the above problem, any fellow user tips that solve the above problem, or a Palm Pre discount gift card would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I seriously doubt the performance would be any slower. There would be no point. I am sure in 3 or 4 iphones time the OS will be so advanced that the 3G iphone and it's 128mb RAM would not be able to run it. Just specualating, but by then the 3G will be long gone. I have the white 3G 16GB which has been discontinued now. That's why i am not getting the 3GS coz mine is quite rare now.

Language support bug with iphone 2.0 software?

With 2G iPhone running with 2.0 software, I have noticed the following.
When I have "Settings -> General -> International -> Language" set to English, the Chinese text sent in my emails becomes corrupted in the email body, and other non-iphone users cannot read my message contents.
The Chinese text in the email subject, however, looks fine, just not in the message body.
The work-around is to change the "Settings -> General -> International -> Language" setting to Chinese as well, and then send the email with Chinese text. That will work, but it's annoying when you do not want everything on your phone to show Chinese.
Is this a known bug and is there a fix?

Is this a known bug and is there a fix?
It could be that when the OS is set to English, Chinese email is sent in UTF-8 encoding, which is sometimes not supported at the other end. There is no way to change this on the iPhone I think. It can also happen in the ordinary OS X:

Send me a test message in Chinese with your OS set to English and I can confirm (tom at bluesky dot org).

IPod Touch with iPhone 2.0 software

Quite recently, my uncle gave me his iPod touch (1st Generation) as a Christmas present because he was going to buy an iPhone 3G. I already have an iPhone, so I was wondering if the software used on it is compatible with my Touch. I don't wanna spend ten bucks for something that may as well be free. Do I really need to buy the software? Or is the one on my iPhone the same for my Touch?

Many people are having the same problem -- they can't install the 2.0 update. There's a huge thread about it here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1598985
Apple is aware people are having problems (according Ronald in iTunes Customer Support) but hasn't offered any real solutions yet. They keep sending people to the same online support tips, which usually don't work.
The best you can hope for is to restore to an earlier version. iTunes will keep trying to install the 2.0 update by default. To get around this, you need to hold down the <Shift> key while clicking the "Restore" button in iTunes. This will open a dialog box where you can select the necessary *.ipsw file. On Windows XP, these are located in:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\
iTunes\iPod Software
I was able to restore back to my last version, which was iPod1,11.1.4_4A102Restore.ipsw
Hope this helps you out.

Keyboard input bug with non-english chars

Hi community, i'm facing a weird problem with the following flex application (something very simple, couldn't be more):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:TextInput/>
</mx:Application>
The bug is coming only on Google Chrome (on Mac), when i try to enter french special chars in the input field, let's say i try to enter the following letters: éèçà, instead i'll get ÈËÁ‡ (see the following screenshots respectively for Safari and Chrome)
I tried these browsers on Mac: Safari, Firefox, Omniweb, Opera. And it works like a charm for them. The bug is only on Google Chrome Mac.
I also tried on Windows with IE6, IE7, Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome. No bug either for them on Windows.
I've read on the Internet other people on Linux have the same bug sometimes (again, it's just for a couple of browsers and never all the browsers on their platform). I hope I don't have to tell my users to trick with their OS configuration. It's our job to make our apps to fit the visitor, not theirs!
Does anyone knows a workaround for it? A special configuration to do (compatibility mode with older Flash version 8, 9, something like that?)...

I just tested Firefox and Chrome on linux, i doesn't work either, but i get different weird chars: Ã©Ã¨Ã§a
However, on both mac and linux, if i copy the chars and paste them in the input field, it passes.

After installing iOS5, should I get my camera icon on the home page (like with iPhone/iTouch)?

I upgraded my iTouch and my iPad2. If i doubletap the home button on iTouch, I get a camera icon on the home screen. However, if I doubletape the home button on iPad2, i have a little flower icon which gives me a photo slideshow. All Apple videos only seem to show the new camera-from-home-screen on an iPhone. Does anyone know?

Ok, that's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure i didn't miss something in the iOS5 upgrade. I guess instant access camera button is for iPods, iPhones and iPod Touches.......because I DO have it on my iPod Touch and my sister has on her iPhone. Guess it's just not an iPad thing!! Thanks!

My airport time capsule will no longer allow our iPhones or vizio smart tvs to connect to it, though my iPad air mac mini and mac air connect fine. Why is this? does a recent software update have anything to do with it?

What model is your TC? What is the firmware?
I recommend you do a factory reset and use short names.. not apple recommended names.
Short.. 2-20 characters .. less than 10 even better.
No spaces.
Pure alphanumeric.
Set fixed channels for 2.4ghz wireless.. test with 11, 6, 1 at least.
That often helps.. if not and is old, ie Gen1-4 go back to 7.6.1 firmware which is far more solid.

Apple USB keyboard with iBook defeats keyboard inputs - software issue?

A couple days ago I bought an Apple USB (corded) keyboard for use with my iBook G4 running 10.4.10. At first the keyboard seemed just fine, but I think I may have hit some key combination with it that defeats the letter functions of both the built in keyboard and the usb keyboard. The number keys and function keys seem to work fine, but the letter keys are switched to other functions (for example, some of them input blank spaces). It also changes the way the mouse functions - I have to hold down the control key for it to "click." The lack of functionality returns as soon as I plug the keyboard back in before powering on.
The problem persists after I unplug the usb keyboard, and only a cold reboot works to restore normal function to the onboard keyboard. My impression is that this is a software switch I somehow toggled, or the usb keyboard is just bad. I've tried toggling num lock, but that doesn't appear to be the issue.
Thanks for your input.

This is a hardware issue having to do with the USB connection of your keyboard. The mouse could still work as you are plugging in into a seperate USB bus. It would be wiser in my opinion to purchase another keyboard rather then investing any money in potentially fixing it.

Bluetooth Keyboard with iPhone

Has Apple announced support for their Bluetooth keyboard for use with the iPhone yet? I have not been able to find any information about this.
If not, I will buy an iPhone as soon as they provide a Bluetooth keyboard option. A suggestion, and one that I think many others share.

I just got off the phone with a sales rep at Macally who had planned to launch a bluetooth keyboard for the iPhone...Release delayed until apple decides to allow bluetooth input.
Dear Apple,
Releasing a bluetooth keyboard does not admit that the touchscreen keyboard doesn't work. It works great. It just reinforces the fact that iPhone is the future of mobile computing. It will only increase functionality and on-the-go efficiency.
With the enterprise release and a bluetooth keyboard...wow. Watch out corporate America. Everyone employee of every company will want one. Bye bye blackberry.
Sincerely,
apples and apples
