Keyboard & Mouse for iPad2
Hi,
Just purchasing the new iPad and am after recommendations for a mouse and keyboard. I would prefer something to dock with so that I can charge at the same time.
Thanks
I like Apple's Bluetooth keyboard. Compact, sleek and Designed by Apple® to boot! I've used other bluetooth keyboards, including ones with a built-in case for the iPad, and they're generally well made. If you're a writer like me, you will appreciate that the arrow keys on the keyboard will move the cursor around in a text document (iA Writer, Pages, etc) which eliminates lots of screen touching for simple editing.

KVM-like device for using 1 keyboard/mouse for 2 Macs
I'm familar with KVMs but what I'd like to do is simply use the same Apple Keyboard/Mouse for both my thunderbolt iMac and my thunderbolt Mac Mini. Any recommendations for keeping this as minimalist and space saving as possible? (BootCamp/Windows7 will occasionally be used on the iMac.)
Zathrak, look into a free application called Synergy. It lets you use a keyboard/mouse on multiple computers. It works like a client/server type of environment. Both computers must be on the same network for this to work.
Check out the website and see if this serves your purpose. http://synergy-foss.org/ -
I have an Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad2. It will not type the correct character when pressing SHIFT + most of the number keys. (SHIFT + 1 and SHIFT + 4 display correctly with ! and $). The iPad was updated to iOS 8.1.2 yesterday, but that did not aleviate the problem.
Suggestions??What did Logitech say when you contacted them?

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. -

How do I set up magic mouse for iPad2
I would find this very useful when logging on to a pc computer from the pad
To expand a bit, the iPad is a touch screen environment, there is no curser, so no use for a mouse. If you need a mouse then you probably need a laptop.

How to use one keyboard, mouse and display for two PC's?
hey guys, right now i'm using a mac mini and also another Windows PC tower. whenever i want to switch between them i need to re-plug in my headphones/keyboard/mouse/display and this is getting annoying. i've been using a usb hub for the mouse and keyboard so it's not as difficult to setup. is there anything out there that'll allow me to switch between them more easily?
what are my options?
thank youIf both are on your intranet, try Synergy.
I personally use the Wormhole. You can drag between desktops. -
i don't have a wireless keyboard or mouse for my 2007 iMac, is there any way that can use remote desktop and access it from my 2010mbp
Hi champrider,
You can use an application such as Apple Remote Desktop to control your iMac remotely. See this article -

Is the smart keyboard on the ipad2 sufficient for email purposes or do I need to buy an external keyboard? Also, does the ipad2 have dictation capability?
the iPad 2 does not have dictation, but there are apps out there for that. Dragon Dictation is one of the more popular ones.
As to the keyboard, it's a personal thing. SOme love it and never need an external one, others can't stand the on screen keyboard. Hand size, dexterity, etc, all come into play. (I got an external simply because it bugged me to have to toggle to another screen or hold down a key to get a ' ) -
Security Cables for Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse
I am installing the Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse in a public kiosk and wonder what suggestions you have for securing these devices without a security cable lock slot.
The building is fully secure and we have a motion sensor IP cam setup in our booth, so I think minimal (deterrent) strength would be sufficient. They will be secured to a lectern that itself will have a thick cable attached to the floor or wall. I've seen the tufnut adhesive cables online, but I don't know their quality/cheapness.
Our products are high end, we're using 50"+ 1080p LCDs and are going for a full luxury feel, the tufnut line just looks like it could be a bit tacky.
Does Apple have an official recommendation on how to secure the Bluetooth keyboard/mouse?
Thanks!!Hello zg:
If you want an "official" comment, it would be best to ask your question at an Apple store. I have no suggestions as I have not needed to do what you describe.

What is the best wireless mouse/keyboard combo for the Mac mini.
Right now I'm using a Logitech k360 keyboard/mouse combo that works great on my pc but it's horrible on my Mac mini. I'm even debating whether I should return the Mac mini because I think something may be wrong with it. Also, my Mac mini is inside of my entertainment center which has a glass door on it, could this be part of the problem?

This should be no issue whatsoever. I have a very similar setup
with the Mini inside and enternainment center w/glass doors.
Just make sure there is enough room to have sufficient air flow
around it.
Is yours constucted out of wood or metal?
....I'm even debating whether I should return the Mac mini because I think something may be wrong with it.
Are the keyboard mouse issues the only issue or is there
something else in addition to that?
What exatly do you mean by working horrible? Just what is
actually going on when you use them. As I see on the website
Logitech only specs Windows OSes, it could be a driver issue.
Also, if this is the new Mini, do you have external USB3.0 drives
connected to it? There have been issues with Bluetooth, however
the Logitech specs do not state that it is Bluetooth but could
still be affected. -
Microsoft wireless mouse with ipad2
How i can use microsoft wireless leypad and mouse with ipad2?
BalaYou can't use a mouse with an iPad - it does not have a mouse pointer for a mouse to control as it is a touchscreen device which you use with your finger.
Some Bluetooth keyboards are compatible with the iPad. You would need to contact Microsoft and ask them if the one you have is. -
Disabling Keyboard Shortcuts for LDAP Accounts -Workgroup Manager...
I work in a school and all our students are on LDAP accounts. Recently some of the kids realized that hitting Ctrl-Opt-CMD-8 inverts the screen display. You wouldn't believe the amount of havoc this has created at school, especially when they do it to a kid’s account that doesn't know how to fix it.
Keyboard and Mouse are NOT one of the items under preferences for either groups or accounts in Workgroup Manager. Does anyone know if there is a way around this, or an alternate way of getting rid of the keyboard shortcuts for Universal Access, for either groups or accounts?
Thanks
Mac OS X (10.4.6)Within the Workgroup Manager pane for Preferences, there is an option to manage Universal access. Within that section, there is a tab for 'Options'. You will want to change that management to 'Always' and leave the box for 'Allow Universal Access Shortcuts' UNchecked. This will, in effect, disable the usage of the shortcuts for a User or a selected Group account.
Hope this helps out!!

Keyboard & mouse stopped working
I just recently bought a new iMac i7 2 days ago & installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit through bootcamp. Everything was working fine until Windows installed updates. Now when it gets to the windows login screen, the mouse and keyboard stop working so I can't even type in my password to login.
I've gone through many of the posts here & around the net but nothing has solved my problem. The indicator light on the keyboard & mouse just continue to flash but won't connect. I start up Mac OS & everything works fine so it had to be a Windows update that caused the problem since it was working fine before the updates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also want to mention, I'm still fairly new to Mac, as I only used it for video editing in school, so please bear with me if I follow up with ridiculous questions while still familiarizing myself with the new setup.Hi coolfonz,
for the proper set-up of your keyboard & mouse you'll need to use a wired mouse & keyboard (then you'll have to update the drivers for those wireless probably).
