Strange keyboard in iPad 2

Hi,
Rodacy i realized that my keyboard has changed from typical into much smaller and splitted for two parts placed on sides of the screen.
I would appreciate your help how to come bank to default keybord???
W.

Just place one finger on each side of the keyboard and pull it toward the center of the screen and the keyboard will connect and dock again.

Strange keyboard issue on a Satellite P300

Hi,
Since a week i have a problem with my keyboard on my P300.
The keyboard doesn't work when the power supply is on. The keyboard is inactive on vista and in the BIOS.
When i cut the power and the PC is on battery the keyboard is OK.
Do you have any infomations about this problem ?
Thanks.
oliv

Hi Oliv
Such issue is not known to me and I think it must be hardware related issue.
What you can do about it? Not much except to try with BIOS update but I dont think it will help.
Satellite P300 is not the newest notebook model. Since when you have noticed such strange keyboard behaviour?
To be honest I think you should contact Toshiba service in your country. Let them check keyboard and keyboard controller using diagnostic tools. They can tell you what the problem is and how to fix it.

How do you connect wireless keyboard to ipad?

How do you connect wireless keyboard to ipad?

Go to Settings -> General -> Bluetooth. Turn on the iPad Bluetooth service and then the keyboard. They should find each other.
BTW it's tricky to disconnect them. If you don't turn off the keyboard while it's paired, the iPad virtual keyboard won't work properly. Check the manual.
The green light on the keyboard doesn't stay on all the time the keyboard is on, just for a few seconds after each change of state.
The bluetooth keyboard - iPad combination is a very effective writing tool. The keyboard is very responsive.

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.

How long does an apple wireless keyboard for iPad battery last?

does anyone know how long does an apple keyboard for iPad battery last? Thanks

No. Once sn iOS version comes out that is not compatible with your hardware, you cannot, obviously, update iOS any longer. However, your iPad running the last release of iOS compatible with it will continue to run that iOS release at the same speed it always did.
Nothing about any computer ever slows down with age - your cpu, RAM and storage all function at the same speed as they always did. New software may add features that tax your system more than a newer system would be taxed, but nothing about your system changes just because the device ages.
At some point, our system simply is unable to update or run newer software because that newer or updated software requires hardware features that yours simply does not have. But your exisiting software on your existing hardware will continue to run just as it always has.
As to when your system becomse unable to handle new software or iOS features, that is purely a matter of how quickly newer hardware comes out and how quickly software developers move to new features that your system cannot handle.
There is no inherent reason to believe that an iPad 4 will not be compatible with the next release of iOS - it might not be, but it may very well be. Depends entirely on what changes the next release (whenever that may be) introduces, and what new device hardware Apple may be working on.

Strange keyboard behavior after OS 4.2.1 upgrade

When typing (at least, so far, in Safari) the keyboard will randomly (or so it seems) retract after typing a letter, instead of that letter being registered in the text box. It's necessary to re-locate the insertion point back in the text box to bring the keyboard back. And when I do, then the caps lock is on even though it wasn't before. This happens every few characters, but unpredictably.

I'm getting this too. Been looking all over the Internet to find other people with the same problem.
Its very annoying, and I'm not touching any other part of the screen - it does exactly what the OP describes, and it seems to do it all the time, when I'm typing. Only noticed it in safari because that is all I type in, and strangely enough it is not happening as I type this, and when it does happen i make sure the webpages are fully loaded. Very strange and very frustrating
I'm also finding that rss feeds aren't updating, but thats a different problem.

Strange keyboard issues on Satellite M40

My Toshiba M40 has been giving me keyboard problems quite frequently. I get funny characters like NB¬A
when I press the left Shift key and then the keyboard starts behaving abnormally:
1. it shifts to caps mode -- to type lower letters, I have to actually use caps lock.
2. I can't use the shift key to type in the special characters above the numerals.
3. clicking on the menu bar gives me a different effect as if the shift key is already pressed while it is not.
4. pressing the right shift key takes me to the 'save' option.
5. I can't select one file or folder as several of them selected at one time.
And then I give up, shut down the computer (it doesnt restart at this time)
After some time, the computer starts normally but I am never sure when it will start misbehaving again.
I read about bios update, so got mine updated to the 1.7 version from toshiba website (this is the latest one they had for machines with ATI graphics).
sometimes, i use an external keyboard when the problem occurs repeatedly.
would appreciate advice on how to overcome this software / hardware problem.

Hi Ashok,
It is not easy to say what is causing this strange behaviour, especially since it also occurs with an external keyboard. One clue is that the notebook will not restart after you shut it down unless you leave it for a short while. This would suggest that the unit is overheating and this may well be affecting the unit causing your problems.
I suggest you try giving the notebook a good clean to remove any build up of dust and debris from the CPU heatsink.
regards,

How do I use my midi keyboard with iPad?

I have an Axiom keyboard that requires external power ... Even when I connect the external power chord and then plug it into the ipad using the camera kit, it says that it draws too much power for the ipad ... Is there anything I can do? Thanks!

Issue with the on-screen keyboard in iPad Air running ios 7.1.2

The onscreen keyboard on my iPad Air (ios 7.1.2) disappears abruptly while typing in a text field. Each time I was typing in the Spot Light search field (or any text field for that matter) I took great care not to tap the area on my screen other than the keyboard just to be sure the keyboard doesn't disappear on its own. I've also tried the hard reset by pressing down the power and the home button simultaneously. These fixes were only temporary and the issue in question has been coming back rather intermittently. It is very annoying to keep swiping down to open the spotlight search field each time the keyboard vanishes for no apparent reason.

It is not a bug in iOS 7, as several hundred million people haven't commented on it. Reset: are you holding down both buttons until the Apple logo is displayed? If a reset doesn't fix it, try restoring the phone from the last backup. If that doesn't work, restore as a new device. If that doesn't work, take it to Apple.

Strange behaviour of iPad Photos app/My Photo Stream with iOS 8.1 and Yosemite

My requirement is surely simple and commonplace, yet is proving impossible to achieve thanks to Apple's weird design of the Photos app and the way My Photo Stream works. I'm very technically savvy, but I'm quite prepared to admit I'm being stupid if someone can explain what I'm doing wrong! I have an iPad Air running iOS 8.1 and a MacBook Pro Retina with OS X 10.10 (Yosemite). I've enabled iCloud Drive on both. iPhoto on the Mac is at v9.6.
I have a selection of 109 photos from a recent holiday in a folder on my MacBook, which I would like in a folder on my iPad as a nice way to show them to friends. iTunes may work but seems so incredibly clunky and old-fashioned I hoped I could do it over the network or via the cloud. I would use (and often have used) Dropbox, which is reliable and logical but rather tedious as you have to save each photo one by one.
So, with a little research and playing around, I found that I could get them to the iPad using iPhoto on the Mac, with My Photo Stream enabled. However, it doesn't seem to work. The photos were all created yesterday so had yesterday's date (I'd removed EXIF data that contained various earlier dates).
I've just done the following test:
I deleted all photos from the iPad (using the Photos app)
On the Mac, I deleted all photos from iPhoto
In iPhoto Preferences on the Mac, I turned on “My photo stream”, with the two sub-options also enabled
I imported the 109 photos into iPhoto
On the iPad, in My Photo Stream, I saw the photos gradually appear over the next few minutes
A minute or two later, when no more seemed to coming, I found that 103 of the original 109 were in My Photo Stream. So, strangely, 6 photos were missing
Even stranger, in the “Photos” tab, under “Yesterday” 37 of them could be seen. If I understand this correctly (which I may not), that means 37 of them had been copied from the My Photo Stream to the iPad itself. Am I right? Why only 37?
On the iPad, I added a new Album called Summer 2014
I selected all 103 photos from My Photo Stream to add to the album
In the Summer 2014 album, I briefly see “103 Photos” at the bottom of the album, but this quickly changes to 66 as photos that briefly appeared now disappear, leaving only 66 left in the album
Checking in Photos/Collections/Yesterday, I find there are now 66 photos (rather than 37 as there were earlier) - the same ones that are showing in my Summer 2014 album.
If I attempt to manually add any of the missing photos to the album, nothing happens - the album refuses to allow any more than the 66 it has.
In iPhoto on the Mac, if I click on the SHARED/iCloud entry on the left, I see all 109 photos, which I think means iPhoto has correctly shared them all, so I suspect the problem is with the iPad.
Yesterday, when I was playing with this, the album allowed 68 photos. I tried deleting one and adding one of the missing photos, but it wouldn't allow this either, so I don't think it's objecting to the number of photos so much as disliking particular ones.
I've got 7.7GB free space on the iPad so I don't think it's a space issue.
Can anyone help? If it's a bug in iOS, iCloud or OS X, how can I report it, given that I'm out of my 3 months support for both my machines?
Thank you!

Well done lumacj! This is a good workaround. Forgive me if I offer a simplified version here (this works if original photos are in Photo stream):
1. In "My photo stream", tap on select at top of screen
2. Tap on each photo you want to send via WhatsApp (circle with "√" shows for each photo)
3. Tap on square box with arrow at bottom of screen (Share) - NOT "Add To"
4. Tap on "Save image(s)"
5. Check that selected photos now appear on "Camera Roll"
6. From WhatsApp, send photos as you would have normally
