My remote iPad keyboard stopped working

Any update?
Apple Support always say reboot your computer, unplug the keyboard, the keys are broken, ... But I bought 2 of these keyboards and they have the same frustrating problem. When you unplug them and plug them back they STOP working sometimes for long time or sometimes you have to hit the keys for a while to get the keyboard back.
Since about a year I just let my mb air powered on with my keyboard because I need my keyboard to work. (and it's hugely frustrating to start your day trying to get your keyboard working)
I just bough a mb pro late 2013 and the keyboard do not work at all.
All the best,
Sam

IPad 2 keyboard stops working

I've noticed lately that my iPad 2 keyboard stops working from time to time. For instance I was on Facebook the other day and instead of the keyboard coming up when I wanted to make comment there was a black bar at the bottom that would only allow me to jump from line to line on various post...but couldn't get the keyboard up to type. It also happened to me on another website. It only happens in Safari. If I shut the iPad off and then back on it clears up the problem. At first I thought it was just some new FB bull sheet .
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
M

update: I did do a restore, but a restore from backup on my iPad2 for this problem. I still encounter it once in awhile even after the restore. If I turn it off with the slider switch and then back on the keyboard works again.
Wondering if some App I downloaded is causing this problem. Come to think of it...began happening after my Bing App download...but not really sure that it is the culprit.
My options now are to restore to like new setting and then load everything up again to see if that fixes it.
I may venture a quick call to Apple support...but I think they'll say to do the same thing.

Hi, seadarunner.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need more information on what you mean by your EarPods are not working to provide a better answer. However, here is an article that may help with this issue.

A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem.

A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem, and this magazine's app opens just fine on my wife's iPad.
I have deleted the app and reinstalled it from the Apple store and that makes no difference. I have also done a hard reboot on my iPad with no result.
Any thoughts about what might be wrong?

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

G72-c55dx keyboard stop working within 15 min of use

G72-c55dx keyboard stop working within 15 min of use or at rest check setting power bios updated late;s driver ver.?

Hi @rimesci ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you!
I understand that when you start your notebook the keyboard works for approximately 15 minutes and then stops responding.
You have checked the power settings, updated the bios and drivers but it still persists.
It sounds as if you have a conflict somewhere. The keyboard works OK and then something kicks in and keyboard stops.
I would try a clean boot to try and locate the issue. Perform a clean startup to determine whether background programs are interfering with your game or p... (from support.microsoft.com)
If this has not located the issue, do you feel any overheating on the unit?
If the issue persists, you can try a restore back to before this issue occurred. Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
If that did not work or is not a possibility, I would do a recovery back to factory.
Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
During the recovery process you will receive an opportunity to backup your personal files to prevent data loss.
If you have not done one recently, I suggest you do one now.
restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 7)
If you are still having an issue, I suggest contacting HP support. They can remotely log onto your system to help with resolving issues.
Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region Technical Support Sitemap

Apple wired keyboard stops working after iTunes sync

I have an imac running snow leopard. When I sync old ipad, iphone 3gs or iphone 4, the wired keyboard stops working. The only solution seems to be to turn the IMac off and turn on again. Have tried resetting permissions with no success. Any ideas?

Try resetting the NVRAM
About NVRAM and PRAM
Try another BK. Maybe a KB problem.
Try booting to Recovery and see if it works OK. Maybe a software problem with Yosemite

Wireless keyboard stopped working on my iMac

My wireless keyboard stopped working on my iMac. It shows that it is connected, but it won't respond. It's not the batteries, and I tested keyboard on my iPad and it works fine on the iPad, so it is not the keyboard itself.
I also tried to connect a different wireless keyboard to my iMac, but the same thing happens... it shows that it is connected, but it doesn't respond.
When I go preferences > bluetooth, the device shows as connected. I have tried to remove it by highlighting it and clicking the - (minus) , but the - (minus) is not clickable. It is gray.
Also grayed is the box that says 'discoverable'. the box is checked however.
I am at a loss!! Any ideas

Qwerty keyboard stops working arbitrarily when replying to email

Qwerty keyboard stops working arbitrarily when replying to email. Unable to backspace or type anything? Any ideas?

I would reset the iPad and see if that fixes it:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

The escape key in my wireless keyboard stopped working

Dear list members, suddenly, the ESC key in my wireless keyboard stopped working. As it looks normal and all other keys are working properly, might it be a configuration problem? Could you please help me? I'm working on an iMac 27 late 2012 running OSX 10.10.2. Thank you.

Please reset the SMC, this may take 2-3 attempts and post back with the results.

TS3048 Number pad on extended keyboard stopped working after updating to OSX 10.9.1. Testing keyboard on old system still works perfectly.

Expanded keyboard stopped working correctly after updating my system from OSX 10.8.6 to OSX 10.9.1 and now 10.9.2. The keypad numbers do not work although the numbers along the top of the keyboard work fine. Moving the keyboard back to computer still using 10.8.6 and it works fine.

See if zapping the PRAM works. Check out KB Article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM

2nd Gen iPad Mini stopped working yesterday. Won't startup under and configuration and is not recognized by my iMac. I believe it upgraded itself to iOS 8 (????)

Hey Kenneth,
So it sounds as if your iPad is not responding at all when you try to turn it on, is that correct? If so, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If you get it to start up and it is still not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, use the steps in this article to troubleshoot that issue -
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,

Dual screen configuration makes keyboard stop working on X

Hi. My computer is working just fine. And my video card has two outputs (Nvidia[GeForce 9600 GT] (rev a1)). I got a second monitor, and I was trying to configure Xorg to use the two of them in a dual screen configuration.
I tried creating the 10-monitors.conf file like described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … e_monitors, and here is what happens. X does use the two monitors, and I can even see my mouse pointer moving from one to the other. But then my keyboard stops working, and so do the mouse keys, only moving the mouse around works.
I have the impression this is related to the missing InputDevices in the ServerLayout. Something in my configuration probably needs that still, if the ServerLayout gets explicitly configured. What should I do? Could this be related to HAL somehow? How do I turn off HAL without it trying to kill me?
Thanks.

I have been using nvidia's TwinView for a long time, currently with two different monitor sizes. There is no need to do anything with udev if you have your xorg.conf set up properly. Here's what mine looks like, though you will have to adapt it according to your hardware.

It is best to let as much as possible be handled automatically, but getting two screens working properly requires a bit of tweaking.

Remote Desktop Connection Stopped Working when Disconnecting

Hi I have a fresh clean install of Windows 8.1. Whenever I RDP into another Windows 8 machine... upong disconnecting I get the error: "Remote Desktop Connection Stopped Working"
I have tried not mapping to remote printers, or drives (smart cards etc.) and it still persists. When I remote to Windows Server or Win 7, it does not happen.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you
mi

FYI, same issue here, Windows 8.1 on ThinkPad W520 (upgraded from Windows 8).
Even without Fingerprint Manager, and having uninstalled ThinkVantage Password Manager as well, still crashes. I also tried the:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
but no luck, my mstsc.exe is still crashing when the remote session window is closed.
Any ideas? Happy to upload/provide more details, here's the Report.wer contents from

Bluetooth and Built-in keyboards stop working randomly

While I've read several threads about the built-in keyboard on MBPs stop working I've never seen one quite like this. We're on a late 2012 17" MBP, Core i7 with 4GB memory. Randomly both the built-in keyboard on the machine AND the Bluetooth keyboard stop working - but not fully. On both the arrow keys and backspace key still work but nothing else (CMD, space bar, etc).
What's really odd is a USB keyboard works perfectly when this happens. We plugged one in and blamo, it worked just great - but the built-in and the bluetooth ones continued to not work (just as described above).
The user commented that this has been the case on her last 2 machines and both were built from scratch. That leads me to think it's software rather than hardware - I went through everything that was running, shutting down everything I could - with no good results. If you log out/back in (or reboot) that fixes the problem as well (further leading me to software)
Thoughts anyone??
Thanks!
