Lazy Keyboard with 2.0.2

Just upgraded to 2.0.2 because when I restored my Ipod, the January Update was lost and Apple told me it was no longer supported and if I wanted the mail and notes app's that I had already paid for once I would have to subscribe to the latest update 2.0.2 which I did.
It loaded fine, but I have to say using the keyboard is a chore now because the keyboard seems lazy and is always a character or two behind.
Is there a known remedy.
I have to say I was thinking of upgrading to an Iphone, but I don't think I could handle trying to do emails on a regular basis on such a lazy keyboard. Maybe I'll get a Blackberry.

Yeah, big 2.0 problem it looks like. Bugs the **** out of me. I had the 1st gen iPhone, and updated to 2.0 firmware, and right after that I noticed this problem. The next day, I bought an iPhone 3G, hoping to not see the bug, but it's on my 3G just as it was on my 1st gen. Really driving me nuts. I do a lot of texting while watching video on my iPhone during the day, so the lockups are just out of hand for me. This does make me a little more weary about purchasing Apple's products.

  • How do you use the same wireless keyboard with multiple devices?

    My apologies in advance if this question has been answered previously.  There was nothing in the owner's manual (for the keyboard) that answered this.  I did do a rough search that did not yield an answer to this:
    I have one wireless keyboard I am using with my Macbook Pro.  I understand this keyboard can also be used as an input device for my Apple TV and my iPhone - both of which I currently own.
    And although I am able to use the keyboard with those devices, I am forced to "forget this device" after having used it on either the Apple TV or my iPhone so that I can use it on my MacBook Pro.  Is there any combination of keys that one can press on the keyboard that would cycle through my three devices?  As it is right now, if I don't "forget the device" on my secondary units, it somehow defaults to a peripheral OTHER than my MacBook Pro and I'd like for it to always default to my computer. 
    Thank you for any information/advice.

  • Apple wireless BT keyboard with TEXT MESSAGING?

    I know that I can sync the Apple wireless bluetooth keyboard with the my iPhone 4, but I just want to verify that it will work with text messaging, in addition to the usual email, etc. apps. Frankly, that's the main reason I need it. I messed up my elbow from texting so much. I don't want to, but I MUST text a lot, so I figured I'd get the keyboard to save elbow injuries. Sounds silly -- lugging around a wireless keyboard in order to text... but it actually wouldn't be so bad. I do a lot of texting from my house, anyway.
    One more thing -- The wireless keyboard can only be paired with one device at a time, right?

    The Bluetooth keyboard will work with the messaging application.
    I know I always turn the Bluetooth off on the iPhone so when I pull out my keyboard it is a bit of a pain in the ***. Granted I only use it with long emails on the road that would take an hour to write with the keyboard on the iPhone, so it's not too bad. The iPad dock keyboard will also work with the iPhone and iOS4.x so if you need a keyboard and don't want to deal with the Bluetooth than that is an option too, just a thought.
    As far as the Bluetooth keyboard goes it can only be paired with one device at a time.

  • How can I change from the Swiss german language to the Swiss french language and have a keyboard with accent

    I have uggraded the soft on my iPad and now I have not anymore  the swiss french keyboard with accent. I am wondering what to do to go back to a french version ? Thanks for your help.

    Then something is not right with your iOS 5 installation.  You should try resetting your device.
    Every correct iOS 5 install should have the choices French, French (Canada), French (Switzerland) on the list from which you add keyboards.

  • Wireless keyboard with integrated pointing device

    I would really like to buy a keyboard that has a good pointing devise integrated into the keyboard.
    Here is one of the only devises that appears to satisfy this but it is Windows only:
    http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/192&cl=us,en
    Does anyone know of one? It seems like a logical product for Apple to offer since it frees users from the confines of the desktop only computing experience that mouse dependency requires.
    Also, for these forums should there be a Peripheral section under hardware since Apple sells mice and keyboards?

    I don't have that keyboard, but a little searching turned up some folks using that keyboard with there iMac's.

  • Wireless Keyboard with touchpad?

    I have been looking for some time for a wireless keyboard with built in mouse control - a touchpad seems the obvious choice - to use with a mac mini in a plasma TV/Hi Fi home theatre set up. There seems to be a gap in the market for this type of device.
    I have so far come across 2-3 third party devices that only work with PC but not wirelessly (two USB, one PS2). Sony make a nice looking white cylindrical media PC that has a wireless keyboard with a touchpad. I also see them in some department stores at the point of sale tills.
    I know I could get a wireless Mac (mighty) mouse, but when you are sat in a chair or sofa, there are very few surfaces where you can comfortably use a wireless mouse. It just feels odd!
    Many people are comfortable using a laptop on their lap and controlling the mouse pointer with a touchpad so it is just like detaching the screen, moving it away 6-8 feet and making it bigger of course! The user interface and experience stays the same.
    If Apple got wise and marketed the mini as a media centre, I'm sure they would make the connection and produce another wireless keyboard with built in touchpad. Until then, has anyone come across a suitable solution?

    Hi Bob,
    I'll be in the same boat as you soon, aiming to migrate my G4 Mac Mini to the living room soon, and doing the homework now.
    Here are the wireless keyboards that I've found appealing for this purpose:
    Logitech Playstation 3 Cordless MediaBoard Keyboard, US$47
    Some people have said it works well on Mac and PC too, so this seems good. Note: the PRO model is much more expensive!
    http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-3-Cordless-MediaBoard-Keyboard/dp/B000MFLBBK
    Logitech DiNovo Edge, US$157
    Very smart looking, pure Bluetooth tech and nice trackpad/media cursor.
    http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/192&cl=hk,en
    Logitech DiNovo Mini, US$149
    Miniturized version of above, yuo'll be using thumbs to type. Only recently released.
    http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3848&cl=us,en?WT.ac =ps
    Adessa WKB-4000US, US$80
    Matches your description of a laptop keyboard and trackpad perfectly!

    I've tried some of the relatively cheaper mini keyboards that have a trackball on the right and left+right mouse keys on the left. The build quality was abit poor and either the trackball easily lost traction (within afew days!) or the keys started falling off, but I do recall I tried it and it wasn't very good, and I returned it. I'm also abit weary of RF wireless, because I have had some RF mice where the battery died very quickly and the wireless connection was not smooth unless you had the mouse right next to the USB dongle. I tried afew cheap brands, going upto the Kensington wireless mouse, but just gave up on RF stuff since.
    If you do go for one of the above, please do let us know how it is with them!

  • IBM USB keyboard with TrackPoint: how to adjust sensitivity

    I connect the IBM USB keyboard with TrackPoint (UltraNav) to my Lenovo W510 using Windows 7. How can I adjust the sensitivity of the external TrackPoint? In control panel > mouse settings, I can only adjust settings of the onboard TrackPoint. Is this a driver issue, or I did it wrong? I tried downloading different drivers but none allows me that. Current drivers I use:
    ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint v1.06 (tpusbkybdwtrackpoint_106.exe)
    ThinkPad USB Keyboard Hotkeys v2.0.1.3 (q5kyb07us13.exe)
    ThinkPad UltraNav Driver v15.1.19.0 (6hgy31ww.exe (64-bit))
    Actually tried newer drivers but the results are the same. Thanks for any suggestion!

    http://leadorg.wordpress.com/technology/thinkpad-usb-keyboard-with-trackpoint-software/
    after installing the required Lenovo driver explained in the post above. I get this option in my mouse setting under control panel. 
    Do you see this specific option? (there is new 1.07 driver released, so try to install that and see whether give you the option of adjusting the usb kb's trackpoint sensitivity).

  • What happened to Lenovo ThinkPlus USB Keyboard with UltraNav ?!?

    Hi all,
    I want a keyboard that works EXACTLY like my T410 native keyboard. I found the ThinkPlus USB Keyboard with UltraNav that looks wireless, but it's been discontinued as of Sept 2009...anyone know what's up with that? I also saw this Lenovo Fingerprint Keyboard but it's not wireless and has no trackpoint or UltraNav, this one looks nice but it's not wireless and has no numpad or UltraNav, this one lacks the ThinkPad feel and look and reviews say the build quality is bad...so why do they have all these very mediocre keyboards...anyone know if they're in the process of releasing a GREAT keyboard with these features)? 
    My T410 is out of reach when its docked, so I need my keyboard to be wireless with UltraNav + trackpoint AND NUMPAD for data input, programmable keys, and of course a fingerprint scanner! I also need it to be able to affect my T410 EXACTLY as if I was using the built in keyboard... like using Fn + F_ to toggle display, power, radio settings, etc. I want it to have the same keys in the same locations and it needs extra media (volume, play, pause) keys and programmable keys to open programs/folders. I would like it to be rechargeable too. It would be great if it came with a good wireless mouse as well. I understand wireless fingerprint readers are not any more secure, and are probably even less secure so this I could do without...but they should still put it on the dock that recharges the keyboard and mouse!
    Pretty much, why hasn't Lenovo come out with the perfect wireless keyboard for us ThinkPad fans? I know there are other companies out there, but I'd like to add type on a keyboard with traditional ThinkPad quality that IBM lovers have gotten used to!
    Thanks,
    O

    I used to own a ThinkPlus USB Keyboard with UltraNav. It wasn't wireless, just standard USB. Unfortunately, it died after 5+ years of abuse.
    That keyboard has been replaced by ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint (55Y9003). If you search for that FRU number you'll find it available for sale.
    The new model is closer to a current gen laptop keyboard (more so than the original ThinkPlus keyboard). But it is missing the numeric keyboard and the TrackPad part of the UltraNav.
    There's a good story as to why the keyboard is wired and why the other components were removed:

    http://lenovoblogs.com/designmatters/?p=438
    Yeah, unfortunately, I don't think Lenovo is going to produce exactly what you are looking for. Like you, I miss the numeric keypad.
    But at least it's cheaper than before. You could buy a separate USB/wireless numeric keypad to with the savings.

  • USB Think/Travel Keyboard with UltraNav Win 7

    Although Lenovo assured me I would not have problems with my trackpoint keyboard (USB Think/Travel Keyboard with UltraNav), Windows 7 Pro 64 bit (ThinkCenter M93p) does not recognize UltraNav. The functions (example: scroll) work correctly in some applications but not in Windows itself (example: Windows Explorer).
    I am looking for a Windows 7 64 bit, driver for that keyboard.
    Thanks.

  • IBM USB Keyboard with Ultranav - D20 problems

    I purchased an IBM keyboard, model #SK-8835 to use with my D20 WorkStation. They discontinued this keyboard in 2009, a mistake I think because they replaced it with a Lenovo keyboard #SK-8855, which does not have the extra number keys on the right side.
    My Lenovo ThinkPad W700DS has a great keyboard with trackpoint, touchpad, and number pad.
    So anyway, I plug in the IBM keyboard and neither the trackpoint nor touchpad are working.  I tried to load the software which came with the keyboard and recieved an error that the software is not recognized by my current operating system.
    I suppose I could purchase a seperate number pad, but I REALLY do not want to do that. I prefer having the number pad built into the keyboard.
    I tried downloading software from Lenovo website with no luck.
    Does anyone know how to get the IBM keyboard #SK-8835 working fully on a D20 WorkStation??
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!

    no arguments there.   i definitely miss having an integrated number pad.   the canon calculator can switch from numpad to calc functions though, making it a rather useful alternative.
    anyway, the keyboards are made by lite-on and use a combination of lite-on, synaptics, and IBM/lenovo hotkey drivers.   if you don't have luck with the package linked above then i'm not sure what else to suggest.    this particular piece of hardware is rather complicated for being so simple.   (that's an oxymoron, i know, but it makes sense in my head)

  • Replacing w530 US keyboard with UK one

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard with Windows 7 on non Apple Hardware

    Good Day,
    I love the Apple Wireless Keyboard and it's the on I use when using my Thinkpad laptop as a desktop, meaning connected to an external Monitor and with an external keyboard and mouse. The Keyboard I use is an Apple Wireless Keyboard.
    On my MBA 13 I use Windows 7 as my OS and the Apple lyouted keyboard works actually quite well with windows: The function keys perform very much like in Mac OSX with the volume, screen brightness, the fn+left or right for "home" or "end" etc.
    Not I bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard to use in conjuction with my Thinkpad but all does features are missing. I guess that this has to to that on the MBA 13 the appropriate drivers where installed when the whole Bootcamp Software package was installed.
    Since I obviously cant install the whole Bootcamp CD on non Apple Hardware, is there any way to just download somewhere the drivers for Apple KEyboards so the behave the same way as they would on a Mac running Windows?
    Or is there any other way I could use my Apple Wireless Keyboard with non Apple Hardware the same way it behaves on my MBA 13 running Windows 7? Can somwhere lolely the Apple Keyboard drivers be downloaded?
    I want to thank anyone who is kind enough to help mme with this mather in advance and please leave out comments of the kind that I it's my fault, I should have bought an Apple machine from the beginning. I have my reasons and If anyone can't handle that I kindly ask you to just ignore this post unless it's constructive and helpful contribution

    After 3 frustrating hours of trying every tip on the net, I found the answer: Try this.
    "This finally fixed it for me: Device Manager - Open System Devices, you will find a Bluetooth HID Device. Double Click it, open Driver tab and click "Update Driver" Select Browse my Computer, then "Let me Pick". It should now show TWO compatible drivers with exactly the same name. One of them is the Microsoft one, one is the non-working Chinese ****. Install one of them and see if the driver properties changed to the right (Microsoft) driver. If not, try again with the other one. For me, the Microsoft driver was the first one in the list, but this may be different for you. Wow, an annoying and intense hour of trouble shooting finally over..."

    The issue is related to the Chinese version of the driver that the latest windows update applies that stops the keyboard from working.

    can i use a non-apple keyboard with my imac?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can use the keyboard you want with your iMac. However, note that some keys, as the Command key, aren't present in non-Apple keyboards. For example, in a non-Apple keyboard, you have to press the Windows key because that's the replacement of the Command key of an Apple keyboard

  • I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

    I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

    After you go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources as suggested by sberman, click on the + button and scroll down to Portuguese and select that.  Over at the right you will see the choices Brazilian, Brazilian abnt, Portuguese.  You might want to add all three to see which you like best.
    The "Brazilian" layout is pretty useless.  It is identical to the US layout and the only way to make accents is via the option key shortcuts:  option + n, then o gives you õ.
    The Brazilian abnt and Portuguese layouts have dead keys for adding accents over at the right edge of the keyboard.  But these may not match what is printed on your keys.
    You may prefer to stay with the US layout.  On that you can get accented letters by just holding down the base letter and selecting what you want from the popup menu that appears.  Or you can use the option key shortcuts.
    Another option is the layout called US International PC, which has accent deadkeys on ~, ', etc.
    Which ever layout you want to use, you must select it in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.
    To see which key does what for any layout, use the Keyboard Viewer:
