Keyboard options with Apple TV?

Is there a way to either
A) Pair a wireless keyboard with Apple TV or
B) Add a keyboard controller to the remote app?
I throughly enjoy the remote app and gestures but having to slide along to select letters and numbers sets me back a bit.
Apologies in advance, If this functionality does exist and I have just missed it.

Thanks, Rudegar. Once I accessed Netflix at the login prompt and while paired with remote, the keyboard function popped right up.

Is the ZAGG keys Universal Keyboard compatible with Apple TV?

is the ZAGG keys Universal Keyboard compatible with Apple TV?

The ZAGG keys Universal Keyboard is a Bluetooth keyboard that the manufacturer states is "compatible with most IOS devices" but does not list Apple TV specifically, though the the different IPADS that are compatible are listed.
I did contact the manufacturer through an online Sales Associate Chat on their website and ironically they could not answer me. They did take my email and stated they will research and get back to me. That was only yesterday, 10/7/13 so I will give it a few days.
I know there are other keyboards available, so maybe I will just research a little more.

Where is the Home Sharing option with Apple TV?

I have the updated version of iTunes (10.6.3) , and a brand new Apple TV. The instructions tell me that I just go to my iTunes > Advanced > and turn on my Home Sharing.
There is no option in this tab for Home Sharing.
Pretty lost here! Please help.

It was actually on, but turning it off and turning it back on again resolved my problem.

Can the apple wireless keyboard work with Apple TV

I just set up my ATV and was wondering if it can recognize an apple wireless keyboard. If so, how would I set that up?

No, this is not currently possible.
If you have an iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad you could use Apple's Remote app.

Is there a "tool tips" option with Apple discussions?

Is there a setting or some way that when you put your curser over the title of a thread, part of the actual text of the message pops up so you don't have to click on the thread. Some threads titles are so vague, this would be a nice option.
Jonathan

No current capability, but good suggestion. The Discussion hosts review this forum. Possibly they will put your suggestion on the possible things to do list.

I am having the same problem. I used the online chat option with Apple Support, and they rectified the issue from their side.

Very excited about the new update - Thanks Apple for the keyboard update with new emojis! But why are there no ethnicity options for the families?

D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time. It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates. In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud? If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
#3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
#4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for? If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have. Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well. It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.

Connecting remotely with Apple wireless keyboard, ARD 3.5, and Lion

I don't know if the keyboard issue is related but here is my problem:
1. I have used Vine Server with .NET VNC viewer for years and iTeleport for close to a year to remote to my iMac. Vine Server stopped working after I upgraded to Lion so I bought Apple Remote Desktop 3.5 and installed it.
2. I can connect once, but after I disconnect, I can no longer connect using iTeleport; instead, it tries for a long time then gives a timeout error. After I restart the Mac then I can reconnect, but only if I restart from the login screen or the Apple menu; if I use either "sudo reboot", or "sudo shutdown -r now", then I still cannot reconnect. I cannot test this behavior using .NET VNC viewer because it is a 30 minute drive away.
3. When I try to connect using .NET VNC, I get an error that the server is not a VNC server; however, I have never managed to attempt to connect at a time when I could connect using iTeleport.
4. When I connect using iTeleport where I can see my Mac, the Mac dispays the message that it cannot find a bluetooth keyboard. This message does not appear on my iPad screen, but it does display on the Mac's monitor any time I attempt to connect using iTeleport whether or not the connection is successful.
5. The behavior is the same whether I connect through the local wifi or over the internet.
6. I have never been able to connect using the iTeleport connect utility that comes with iTeleport.
Right now, I would be happy if there were a special restart command that I could execute over ssh that does the same thing as clicking the restart button on the Mac. Does anybody have an Idea how I can get this working again? Driving home to reboot every time I need to remote in is not an option.

Thanks for the quick reply Skydiver! So...I really should buy a second wireless keyboard so that I don't have to go through the hassle of re-pairing the keyboard when i switch devices, yes? Yes, I believe I've answered my own question as I now sit here with my MBP attempting to pair it to the keyboard. Oy. Taking forever. I don't mind buying a second -- for $69, it seems to be the most efficient thing to do. Now I just need to figure out a way to designate which wireless keyboard goes with which device. Time to buy a little sticker! Thanks again.

Select one option with keyboard

Hi everyone!
I have a little question...
For example when i close one application appears a window with diferents options such as "don´t save", "save", "cancel".. how can i choose one of this options with the keyboard? I only can select with mouse....

Hi trobalo,
First of all, Welcome to the Apple Discussion Forums!
There is a Mac Help topic which you can access by selecting Help Menu when in Finder that you can search for by using the search terms "shortcuts for dialogues" which I beleive is what you are referring to.
good luck,

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified because it is already in use ??? What am I doing wrong?

settings -> iTunes & App Store
click on apple ID listed there
select Sign Out
sign in with the proper account
from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID

I live in the US and want to buy a MacBook Air with norwegian keyboard in the Apple Store. Is that possible?

I live in the US and want to buy a MacBook Air with norwegian keyboard in the Apple Store. Is that possible?

In earlier years you can go th an Apple Store, buy a Macbook Pro and ask for a replacement to a other type of keyboard. I do this 2-3 times in the last years for german keyboards. If you done this on the same day you bought the macbook, the replacement happened without charge anything. It was a great service.
Yesterday i go back to the same store like before and both - the sales representative and the guys an the GeniusBar told me - that this is not offered by Apple anymore. Because the US Apple Online Store do not offer other Keyboards the US-based keyboards and the German Apple Online Store do not deliver to other countries the final conglusion from the Apple Stuff was:
Flight to germany, but it over their.
I see here in the Support community a lot of questions about norwegian, german and other kind of keyboards they want to buy in the US. Their is obviously a need for this. And from the logistic standpoint, it should be easy for Apple to offer that in the Online Stores itself.
For me the conglusaion is: I stay with my old Macbook Pro and hope i need no replacement within the next years. To order it in germany, ship it to a friend, pay taxes twice (in germany and vur customers) plus shipment, make it to expensive (bottonline: 600-800$ more than buy it in the US) make no sense to me.

Bluetooth keyboard no pairing with apple tv

how to use apple tv with bluetooth keyboard.
mine will not pair or discover. I know it works because I am using it on my iPAD.

Hello SKBright,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Apple TV: Using the Apple Wireless Keyboard
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5633
Troubleshooting your keyboard
If you are unable to see your keyboard when you attempt to pair it with Apple TV, check that your keyboard is:
Powered on and in range of your Apple TV
Set for discovery or pairing
A blinking LED indicates that the Apple Wireless Keyboard is in the discoverable mode. If you don't pair your keyboard with your Mac within three minutes, the indicator light and keyboard will turn off to preserve battery life. If this happens, press the On/Off switch to turn your keyboard on again.
When using third-party devices, check with the keyboard manufacturer for additional information.
Not paired or connected to another device
If your keyboard responds intermittently or cannot maintain a connection:
Ensure that the keyboard has sufficient charge or fresh batteries
Check for nearby sources of interference, including other wireless devices, Bluetooth transmitters, and so on
Try unpairing and then repairing your keyboard with Apple TV
Best of luck,
Mario

I am aware that many people, like me, have lost the ability to mirror their iPad, iPhone or computer with Apple TV. Has anyone yet found a solution? One day it worked, the next day the option to switch between the device and Apple TV had disappeared.

Has anyone managed to resolve the problems encountered with Apple TV and the loss of ability to mirror iphones, ipads or computers? One day it was working perfectly, from all the above devices, the next the option to switch between playing on the device or mirroring to apple tv had disappeared. I have tried all the obvious such as updating iTunes, turning all devices off and then back on, but nothing is working. Help please!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your problem is most certainly network related, you might try restarting your devices including your router as a temporary solution, but in the long term would be better correcting the problems with your network.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

HT5633 Wireless keyboard with Apple TV Box

I had connect wireless keyboard with Apple TV Box it is work perfectly with English language but Thai language I need to hold the key until it appear then press Enter to type a letter it is look really trouble at all. Please give me any suggestions, Thank you.

Birthbd wrote:
the problem will be apple tv box firmware not fully support wireless keyboard. Will need update.
I think it does fully support wireless keyboard, but only for English. As Apple tells you in the link I gave you earlier: "Apple TV uses the U.S. English keyboard layout regardless of the keyboard's hardware layout"
Hopefully they will fix it in the future.
