Portuguese Keyboard Support on iOS

About keyboard support, I have 2 iPads (generation 1 and 2) and I still am unable to use it daily for work because of the lack of language support on the keyboard layout. That standard keyboard on iOS is fine for messaging but not for any article writing, since you need to have full character support.
Recently, on advice from a friend I bought the EasyKEYKeyboard app from the iTunes Store and it shows that a pratical full language keyboard is possible on a touch screen device such as the iPad. Unfortunately the app is a word processor on its own and does not bring that keyboard to the rest of the system. As a word processor is buggy and unreliable (no Save and it crashes, making you loose everything you wrote... Scary, never used it again).
Why doesn't Apple understand that iPad will only be used worldwide for serious work unless you bring full language keyboard support?
I can believe that millions of non-english users will feel the same...

You seem to be unaware of the standard iOS system for creating accented characters.  It is to hold down the key for the base letter and then to select from the popup menu that appears the version that you want.  You do not even need to activate the Portuguese keyboard for this, English will work fine.  But the Portuguese keyboard will give you Portuguese spellcheck and autocorrect.
The iPad has been enormously successful worldwide with a huge volume of sales, and a large number of languages supported in the OS interface, the keyboard, and the autocorrect system, which you can see listed in the tech specs.

If you find the screen keyboard too cumbersome for serious work, you can use a bluetooth hardware keyboard.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You will have to return the Mac and order one with a Portuguese keyboard, if you bought it less than 14 days ago.
    If not, you will have to buy a new Mac (that's because some keys may not fit onto your MacBook Pro keyboard) or just set up OS X with a Portuguese keyboard but with US keys

  • Were to get Qosmio X70-A-11Q with a Portuguese keyboard layout

    Hello,
    I live in Austria but I am Portuguese.
    I am wondering if and where I can get the Qosmio X70-A-11Q with a Portuguese keyboard layout.
    I wouldnt mind buying it directly from the factory or wait a little more.
    Thank you in advance!

    >And would toshiba.pt send the laptop all the way to Austria by post?
    Toshiba.pt does not sell the notebook. but you have to find an dealer who would sell this device.
    >How about guarantee? Do I get support from Toshiba Austria?
    I think all warranty details can be found on Toshiba page (Toshiba.pt)
    But from my knowledge the notebook is covered by one year standard warranty. Of course you can purchase some additional services you should check this on Toshiba page.
    But the standard warranty covers only the notebook for one year and in case something would go wrong you have to repair it in country where you made the purchase.

  • How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

    How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

    Have you seen this?
    Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
    A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
    If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.

  • Portuguese Keyboard on Macbook pro retina display.

    Dear All.
    Is there a possibility to buy a macbook pro retina display with portuguese keyboard in Apple Store in the U.S.A.?
    Regards.
    Emilio Silva

    Hey, I have the same problem too. It is making me angry. Both my thunderbolt outputs work, but the hdmi freezes both screens. I then have to shut the computer off by holding the power button and re-boot. Have you found a solution? I NEED my hdmi port. Please get back to me. Thanks!

  • Can i buy a macbook pro retina display in US with portuguese keyboard?

    Can Apple or someone else tell me if is possible to buy in Apple Retail Store in U.S. a Macbook Pro retina Display  with portuguese keyboard?

    It's difficult to get one at a shop or Apple Online Store because build-to-order Macs aren't available at them unless they are very popular.
    The only option you have is to call Apple (1-800-MY-APPLE) and see if you can order a MacBook Pro with a Portuguese keyboard. In case you can, this will take days because it has to be ordered and delivered to the USAFD

  • Can I buy a MacBook Pro 15" Retina, at a US Apple store, with Portuguese keyboard?

    I am in the process of buying a MacBook Pro 15" Retina laptop; although based in Dallas, TX I have a strong need for portuguese keyboard, which I cannot order online (Spanish is the closest offering, but not close enough).
    Can I buy a MacBook Pro 15" Retina laptop, with Portuguese keyboard, at an Apple store?

    I went to an Apple Store, near my house. One of the employees showed me that she could not order it either (sorry, looks like it is really not an option within US).
    She offered an alternative / fix: she could order a Portuguese wireless keyboard, that can be connected via Bluetooth.
    Hope this helps.

  • Bootcamp and Apple Keyboard Support

    Hi,
    Been looking on the internet but have had no luck!
    When using a Macbook Pro in Windows XP, I am having trouble getting inverted commas, speech marks, whatever you call them, basically this below
    The comma below is fine, when you shift however to use these inverted commas, Apple's keyboard support provides this
    ¨
    which isn't very useful when writing VB code. Was wondering if anyone knew any possible solutions? Every other button and when shifting provides the right charactor. At the moment Im having to copy and paste them which is most frustrating as I have to copy and paste other stuff all the time too.
    Thanks

  • Keyboard support for AR 9.4.1 in ubuntu

    I'm running adobe reader 9.4.1 in my ubuntu desktop. I would like to make annotation on pdf files by highlighting texts in different colors. Of course I can achieve this by several clicks, but I prefer to do that more efficiently. I explored a software called Autokey which can simulate pre-assigned keyboard strokes. I intend to use it to change the color of the highlights. But my research stopped at changing the color in the property menu of adobe reader, where it seemed impossible to active another color setting except the default one by keyboard strokes. It seems that I can do these in other adobe versions. Am I missing anything here?

    My problem seems too specific to search for. I'm not looking the manual for the keyboard support, I'm rather reporting a bug and pursue a fix.

  • Keyboard Support in Web Dynpro

    Hi,
    in the description of Web Dynpro is written, that "Automatic operation of the Web Dynpro application using the keyboard" is supported (see: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/15/0d4f21c17c8044af4868130e9fea07/content.htm)
    But on the other hand KeyListeners are not supported yet ( Programming for specific keys like ESC)
    So what kind of keyboard support is provided at the moment, only the keys possible in a browser or are there already other possibilities available?
    Namely we need to support pressing of F1 for help and triggering buttons with a combination of keys.
    Any hints to this topic are appreciated.
    Greetings.
    Achim

    Hi,
    sorry for the long pause but I was on pentecost holiday...
    So this means that only the standard keys of a browser (like  TAB) can be used at the moment? Or are there already other keys supported?
    Does the new SAP GUI 6.40 for Java (which can be used to view Web Dynpros as well) buy me anything in terms of keyboard support?
    Greetings.

  • Portuguese keyboard on MacBook running XP

    Hi Guys, I'm new to Mac, so far so good, I'm thriled with the reliability and quality and trying to learn OS X... Trust me, It's a big change for a "all my life" Windows user.
    I have a couple of questions:
    1st: Is there a delete key in OS X?
    2nd: I'm using BootCamp, Windows XP and all other software work perfectly, except for the keyboard. It's a Portuguese keyboard and has a lot of keys missplaced, for instance if I push "~" I get a "º", etc. Is there solution for this??
    All help will be highly apreciated!!
    Thanks.

    Have a look at this page on Microsoft's website
    <http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/keyboard

    It will require IE for Windows. I can't get it to
    work in Safari or Firefox.

  • IPV6 support on IOS for ONS 15540 ESPX

    Hi!
    Can anybody tell me whether IPV6 have been supported on IOS release for ONS 15540 ESPx. I know this sound kinda funny as ONS happen to be a Layer 1 optical transport but my customer wants to know. Have tried to find out via feature navigator on CCO with no results. Appreciate the help. Thanks.

    SNMP parameters are configured on each ONS15540 node (as you would a Cisco router), not the interface itself. The node then has access to the management network via its own NME or through OSC and via another node, each of which can be configured as IP interfaces.
    Typically you would configure the NME port (with IP address etc) on each node and attach to your management network. The OSC provides several functions, including IP connectivity between nodes and can be used for node access (telnet/snmp) even if the NME port or your management VPN has gone down. This can be helpful for troubleshooting if the optical/DWDM layer is up, but some other device has failed.
    Depending on your topology and how you wish to use your management VPN, you could configure an IP routing protocol that would primarily use the NME port for SNMP etc, but could use the OSC as a backup interface to reach your management station via a different node's NME.
    You may also wish to configure a loopback interface on each node, which is always accessible despite the individual status of the other links.
    Hope that helps.
