Occasional duplicate characters on iPad from Apple bluetooth keyboard

I'm using an Apple bluetooth keyboard on an iPad mini retina on iOS 7.0.4. Occasionally, but not always, when typing a new line (I think it might be after the keyboard has rested a certain period of time, but certainly not very long), I'll get a double character.
llike this
oor this
iit;s always the first character of a sentence,
Iit may be like this as well
Wwhere the first letter is capitalized as it should be, and the second is not.
Any ideas on what would cause this or how to fix it?
Thanks
-Joseph

Just to say that I use a Ipad Air 2, iOS 8.1, and a bluetooth keyboard recently purchased from apple and i experience the exact same issues.
And if it looks like something insignificant, a duplicate character here and then, i assure you that is a bit annoying.
I guess there is a sort of trust in keyboard input developed over time by ppl who use it a lot, that one does not expecto to be broken
Cheers, hope there is a fix for it.

"F" Keys on iPad and Apple Bluetooth Keyboard

Anybody know how to get the "F" Keys on my Apple bluetooth keyboard to work with my iPad? I need to use F1, F2, etc. Please Help.

You might notice that keyboards sold exclusively for use with the iPad do not include function keys. That is because the iPad does not currently offer any system-wide method for assigning actions to those keys. I suppose that individual apps might be able to look for function key presses and have actions assigned to them, but since most apps are designed to work with the iPad's built-in input tools, I doubt that many – or any – apps implement this.

I paired my apple Bluetooth keyboard with my iPad but when trying to connect back to iMac it shows paired but I cannot connect to it

I paired my apple Bluetooth keyboard with my iPad. Now I paired it with my iMac it shows paired but I cannot connect to it?

Hello:
Try this on your iPad:
Unpairing a Bluetooth accessory
If you've paired iPad with an accessory that you no longer wish to use, you can unpair the accessory.
From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Bluetooth. If Bluetooth isn't on, turn it on.
Choose the accessory and tap Unpair.

Can't get Apple bluetooth keyboard to pair with iPad mini. It pairs okay with my Touch.

Is there a problem with the new operating system on the iPad that keeps the Apple bluetooth keyboard from pairing?

I have the same issue after todays upgrade.
Solved by using third party bluetooth dongle
Definitely a yosemite software issue.

I used an American Express card to purchase my Ipad from Apple online. I have an Apple ID. why can't I use Amex as my payment method when signing in to Itunes?

I have an Apple ID, created when I recently purchased an ipad from Apple online. I used my Amex as payment method. Why can I not use my Amex as payment method when signing in to iTunes for the first time?

Yup, I'm a Kiwi, living in sunny Blenheim. Just seems odd that I can use Amex for purchasing in the Apple store but not in the iTunes store. Perhaps the higher charge set by Amex is not economic for small purchases? Anyway,
I know now what to do now - buy an iTunes gift card and enter the activation code to redeem and sign up. Sorted! Thanks Kappy for taking an interest in my query.

I use an Apple bluetooth keyboard with my iPad. In messages I can't find a way to "send" a message without tapping on Send on the iPad's screen. I've tried every key and key combo that I can think of. Am I missing something?

I already have multiple devices and by far I like my iPad the most over laptops and the iPad. That including checking out my friends MacBook Air.
The difference for me is the touch interface on the screen itself for things that do not require a lot of typing. For me, the iPad is more "magical" than anything else I've used.
Again, I do appreciate your answers but you don't know my situation. Not everything is as it is perceived without knowing me and what I have to go through.

Out of a silly curiosity, in what way did Ralph's reply solve your problem? (not that Ralph doesn't deserve recognition, mind you.)

HT201178 when using apple bluetooth keyboard with iPad, hitting the enter/return key while typing in iMessage only adds another line not 'send' the message? is there a setting to change that somewhere?

Everywhere that I've checked it is not possible to do this. I would like to even do this using the vkb. I hate having to stretch my thumb all the way up just to send a message. It's messaging, not a report or email. Seems backwards. Hopefully some day Apple can add this option.

Apple Bluetooth keyboard won't pair with new iPad mini

Apple Bluetooth keyboard won't pair with new iPad mini

I have same results. I have an ipad mini and it will not pair with my apple keyboard. I bought a mini keyboard with bluetooth 3.0 and it will not pair either. Is my ipad defective? Or do i need a keyboard with bluetooth 4.0? Also - the mini keypad will pair with my ipad2 and my iphone 4. Only difference I can find is the ipad mini has bluetooth 4.0. Seems it should be downward compatible but maybe not.. I am not a blutooth expert!

I am planning to buy the New Ipad from Apple online store. Can I purchase the unlocked version because the online store gives me the option of US carriers ONLY?

iPads are not locked to the carriers.

Is there a way to send a message from my IPAD using a bluetooth keyboard?

Is there a way to send a message from my IPAD using a bluetooth keyboard? There must be a way, but for the life of me I can't seem to find the shortcut. I'm using Logitech 811 keyboard and have an IPAD 2.
Thank you,

Are you asking if there is a way to press "Send" from the BT keyboard as opposed to reaching over and tapping it on the screen? Not to the best of my knowledge.
Looking at the posts in the More Like the Box to the right, I did find this link. It's old and may not be valid or useful:

But it's a place to start.

If the ipod is still under warranty and Apple determines it to be defective then they will replace.
