Newbie to Ipad-can the keyboard keys be set in sequence as typewriter?

Wondering if the keyboard can be changed to same sequence as a typewriter.

Along the same lines (sort of..) can any of the functions on the keyboard be altered? I often find the need, for example, to insert a number in an alpha address, or use a dash somewhere. This requires that I leave the main, alphabet keyboard, jump to the numbers board, then back to the alphabet one. I presume there's no way you can drag & drop from one keyboard to another- even on a temporary basis?

  • I would like to detect all the keyboard key is okay, but not every key can be detected by using LabVIEW example, keyboard keycode

    I would like to detect all the keyboard key is okay, but not every key can be detected by LabVIEW example ( we can use 『basic input demo.vi』to detect normal key』.
    I want to detect some 『hot key』 for example some keys exist in the upper part like 『search key』、『e-mail key』、『volumn control key』...etc. They are very often to be watched in some new keyboards, but we still don't know how to detect if their functions are okay.
    Can we detect signals of these 『hot key』 in LabVIEW? We can apply these hot key's functions in XP, so we should detect their signal, I think, but I can't do it.
    I serach some information about this question, and somebody said we can detect hot key's signal by grabing 『keybode』 these hot key feedback. But I don't know how to do these. I can't use VC. So anyone can give me a LabVIEW VI to grab keycode? Or any other solution we can detect all the key on the keyboard, including hot keys?
    Thanks!
    Regards,

    Maybe that is the limitation of Acquire Input Data.vi.The vi can't identify the Unformal key.
    You can try to use Event structure and set to listen "key down" event.
    There are two terminals VKey, ScanCode will sent out the information when you press key.
    There are two pictures in attached file, 2.jpg will show you the detail.
    Good luck.

  • Can the keyboard be replaced with a backlit keyboard?

    I have a late 2010 MacBook Air with a plain keyboard.  Is it possible to have it replaced with a backlit keyboard?

    The logicboard on the 2010 MacBook Airs do not have the requisite electical connectors and controls for the support of the keyboard of the 2011 style. As well, the keyboard/keys itself are different and would not mate with the case.

  • Wish you could tap the Shift key to set next key press in caps on iMac

    I really wish in Mac OS that you could 'tap' the Shift key to set up the next key press in capitals.  In Lion, on my iMac desktop, the present arrangement requires you to hold down the Shift key while hitting the letter you want to capitalise, as has been the case since time began.  On my lovely iPad2, you just tap the shift key once and the next keypress is in caps - SIMPLE and efficient.  I have been yearning for this simple change to the OS since way before the iPad came along, but now you can use it in iOS5 and NOT in Lion, it's really frustrating.  i find i am now failing time after time to select caps in Lion...
    Please, oh wise ones at Apple: take a few minutes out from whatever fresh ramification of iCloud you are concocting and giVe uS bETter cAps.

    There is this, but it might do more than you want:

  • Hello, how much did you pay when some parts of the keyboard keys are not working properly due to accidental spilt of tea?

    I accidentally spilt a tea on the keyboard of my Macbook Air 11'. I managed to wipe the keyboard and saved my laptop. However, I noticed that the Spacebar, Shift and Command keys are not working as it should be. It's like something's stuck inside that makes these keys hard to press as usual. I refered this problem to Amsys, Berwick St London, as the reservations in Apple Stores are full. Do you have any idea how much is the cost for diagnosis and repair if ever?
    Please help.

    if you spilled a good bit of tea, its a serious problem, yes.
    it got inside, and will corode, and bad things will begin to happen.
    Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
    After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
    The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
    Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
    After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
    There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
    Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
    In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
    In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
    contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.  

  • I work in schools and would like to know what if a school opens an iTunes account to purchase apps, how many iPads can the same app be loaded onto legally?

    I work in schools and would like to know if a school opens an iTunes account to purchase apps, how many iPads can that app be loaded onto legally?

    One iPad per purchase, assuming the iPads will be used by different users. If the school wants to purchase an app for multiple iPads, they have to have one license for each iPad. In the US, there's an academic volume purchase plan:

  • HT1665 I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad. can the plug adapters also be used on the Mac Pro charger to charge up my laptop when travelling or is a special converter needed.M

    I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad when traveling abroad. I know this charger can be used on an iPhone, can the plug adapters also be used with the charger of a Mac Book Pro or is a special converter required?

    Is there any concern about the type of travel adapter kit? For instance, some instructions indicate they are for heat creating appliances (hairdryers, curling irons, etc.). I bought such a set, but do they present any issues if used with more delicate electronic circuitry (for iPads, iPods, or with camera battery chargers). I am leaving for the UK on Monday and need to get it right - are they too strong for the Apple products if they are not to be used with computers? What other options are out there?

  • Hi! i recently got a macbook pro 15" retina display, and i tried to play assassin's creed 2 and other games on it, but the thing is, the keyboard keys will not respond except the trackpad, and the keyboard keys work fine outside of gaming.

    Hi! so like i said in the title, i tried to play any game like assassin's creed and minecraft, but the keyboard wont respond but the trackpad does, also i tried restarting reinstalling checking if mouse key is on or off and all that, and it still wont fix this problem.  Outside of gaming though, the keyboard works with no problem. Please help me!

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • When typing on my ipad 4, the keyboard randomly disappears!

    Okay, when I am typing on my ipad, for example this question, in the middle of me typing a word the keyboard will go back down and my finger will accidentally hit a link or something below the keyboard. Then I have to tap the screen again and resume typing. It will randomly disappear on me and it gets really annoying. Help!

    There is a "hide keyboard" icon toward the bottom of the keyboard.  Might you be tapping that icon?

    Second edit:
    Seeing that Quicksilver's site appears to be unsupported you might be better with the Spark recommendation. One Spark user even said they had given up on QS for Spark.

  • Replacing the Keyboard Keys With Another Language?

    Hello,
    It happens to be that I'd like to re-localize my MacBook. That's easy enough to do in software, but I'd actually like to change the hardware keys. What are my options, aside from stickers?

    I would not risk it until your computer is out of warranty. As far as I know, the keyboard is not considered a user replaceable part.
