My iPad keyboard dock no longer works.  Any suggestions on what I can do to bring it back?

I've had the keyboard / docking station / stand for over a year now and it has never given me any problems.  A kid was touching a bunch of keys the other day and I'm not sure if it froze or has a shutdown mode or what...but it literally stopped working.  It recognizes the iPad when I place it on the pins, but NONE of the keys work.
Help!!

    Hi and welcome..
    Connect your iPad to your computer. Launch iTunes. Make sure your iPad is recognized in iTunes under Devices on the left.
    Select the Summary tab then click Update.
    Just to make sure your iPad software is up to date.

  • My iPad was printing to my HP wireless printer and now it won't..any suggestions on what I might try to get it back?

    I was able to print from my iPad to my wireless HP printer and now I can't.  Any suggestions on what to do to get it back?  Will resetting network settings help?

    Are you getting any error messages - or is it just saying No Printers Found - if the latter this has happened to me - I have 2 networks on my airport express (my network and one for guest access0 - sometimes my iPad switches to the guest network which does not have wireless printer on it ( i dont know why it does this) - if i switch the iPad back to my network the printer shows up again
    In fact see the No Printers Found message is a pretty good indication that the iPad has switched to the guest network

  • I upgraded my iMac to Lion and now it won't keep a wireless connection. Any suggestions on what I can try?

    Upgraded my 27" iMac (4 GB memore/3.2 GHz Intel Core i3) to Lion 10.7 and now it won't keep a connection to my wireless. I've had to shift over to working on my MacBook Pro which is also upgraded to Lion but showing no problems whatsoever.
    I bought the iMac this summer, refurbished from Apple. I've also never been able to get it to play video ... might or might not be related to the problem here. (yes, I've updated the silverlight)
    Any suggestions on what it might be or what I can try?

    Have you used Software Update to update to 10.7.1. That update was suppose to fix some WiFi Issues.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4764

  • IPad keyboard dock doesn't work - how to get repair?

    After a couple of days it just stopped working. It seems to dock still, but none of the keys work. Tried several times, but every key is completely unresponsive. I couldn't find a way online to report the problem (automated help asks for HW serial number, but the keyboard docks don't seem to have those). Do I bring the dock back to the store where I bought it to arrange for repair?

    I'm on my second keyboard, as the connector tab in the keyboard is weak, and gives up the ghost very quickly. Went to Apple Store for replacement, and it was free. You are right there is no serial number on the keyboards, so they just take the old one and give you a new one.
    None of them will last very long until they change the design of the keyboard dock, and add a landscape mode connector to the side of the iPad. Putting it in the stand in the portrait mode puts too much leverage/stress on the connector tab in the keyboard itself, so it fails . . .

  • The iPad keyboard dock, will it work with the 3gs/iPhone 4 when iOS 4?

    When iOS 4 comes out?
    I don't know wether this is considered as speculation or not but it is not intended to be. I want to know wether someone can confirm this or not.
    Thanks.

    A more important question you should ask is why you would prefer this to a bluetooth keyboard that will definitely work once iOS 4 is released. The keyboard dock has a limitation of only allowing the device to work in portrait mode. I would find this a little annoying with an iPad and entirely unacceptable with an iPhone. I have used keyboards with Palm and Pocket PC devices before and there are definitely times that you would rather switch to landscape mode.

  • IPad Keyboard Dock doesn't work w/ iPad Case

    This is quite disappointing. I got the keyboard dock today and tried to use it with my ipad while sheathed in the Apple iPad case. Won't work. The connections won't seat properly with the case on the iPad. So I cut some case material away from around the connector and it works intermittently, won't hold a consistent connection. Holds connection just fine w/o the case.
    I guess I'll have to wait for a 3rd party case that doesn't interfere w/ the dock, because I'm not dragging the iPad out of its case every time I get back to my office. I'm assuming the same will happen with the regular, non-keyboard dock.

    I also got my keyboard dock today and found the same problem. it is a PITA to take the iPad out of the Apple case.
    The keyboard does appear to be solidly made. I do like the form fitting case...
    Not sure which accessory to return, the case or the keyboard...
    I do wish the online store would put a warning about the case not working w/ the keyboard... Getting the right case for a device is a never-ending search...<arggh>
    I wonder how well a bluetooth key board will work; that may be my option if I decide to keep the case and not the keyboard. another advantage, I would hope in a bluetooth keyboard is that I would not be restricted to portrait mode only.

  • My iPad Keyboard dock does not work

    Hi guys, today I got an used iPad1 which was on iOS4 Version. So, updated to iOS4 to iOS5 version, and i figured out that my iPad keyboard work won't charge. Does this charging issue happen to u guys as well?

    The iPad cameras are very low resolution, and intended mmore for Facetime and video than serious photography. The camera you use to take a photo is 0.7 Mp. Most pictures downloaded from the internet are also low resolution, scarcely better than newsprint.
    If you want to take decent photos, use a camera, or at worst an iPhone 4 or 4S.

  • After updating to 5.0.1 my keyboard dock no longer works.

    After updating, the keyboard is no longer recognized. It shows that it is plugged in (charging) but keys won't respond.

    Are the songs that you are trying to play grayed out in your playlists?
    I had this problem after upgrading to iOS 5, and I found that deleting all the songs from my device and re-syncing them fixed the problem.
    To do this:
    1. Attach your iOS device (either using the cable or to the same wi-fi network if using iTunes Wi-Fi Sync).
    2. Open iTunes, and click on your iOS device.
    3. Click on the Music tab.
    4. Uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox at the top.
    5. When asked, click "Don't Sync Music".
    6. Sync the iOS device. Your songs will be removed from the device.
    7. Check the "Sync Music" checkbox at the top once again.
    8. Sync the iOS device again, and your songs will be re-added.
    I don't know why the upgrade made some songs unreadable, but the resync fixed the problem for me (I had to do this for each of my iOS devices after upgrading them all to iOS 5). Fortunately, I only had 1,000 songs, so the resync didn't take forever.
    Hope this helps!
