Turn Keyboard off?

Should I turn my Apple wireless keyboard off, or leave it on all the time?
Thanks,
"D"

Hello Dana:
A bit of additional information - the KB and mouse go to a very low power mode after a brief period of non-use. The KB batteries last quite awhile - mouse batteries are used faster. In my case, I use all rechargeable batteries (2500 MaH) and a charger from Energizer that recharges batteries in 15 minutes (environmentally friendly, too).

My iPad no longer recognizes my Zagg keyboard. Turned it off and on several times. One suggestion in manual is a dead battery. Where is a battery on a Zagg case? The iPad battery is fully charged.

My iPad 4 no longer recognizes my Zagg keyboard. Turned it off and on several times. One suggestion in manual is a dead battery. Where is a battery on a Zagg case? The iPad battery is fully charged and Bluetooth is on and the Zaggkeys PROfolio is listed but says NOT CONNECTED. What else should I try?

Well, you shoud tap the line where it says not connected, and it should prompt you to enter something. Regarding Zagg products, http://www.zagg.com/keyboard-cases/index.php?gclid=CIPgv7O_oL0CFQ8OOgodvnoA1w&ef _id=Uo5AsQAABFW6AX3n:20140320063435:s

My iPhone keeps freezing when I am texting, the keyboard will not come up. I have to turn it off or reset it to get keyboard to come up. How can I fix this?

In text or email, the keyboard will not come up. I have to reset phone or turn it off to get started again. How can i fix this issue?

Hello Jennings Castle,
It seems your iPhone is slowing down and not responding frequently. To rectify this issue you may want to consider performing a restore on the device, and then restoring your data from a backup via iCloud or iTunes.
If the issue persists after restoring your backup, you would then want to consider restoring the device and setting it up as new. Below I have linked to article which offers guidance on both of these restore methods:

I have to input a password in order to log in each time I turn on my Macbook Pro Santa Rosa under Mountain Lion. Now my built-in keyboard suddenly doesn't respons at all. And the bluetooth function seems to activate automatically even though I turn it off

I have to input a password to log in to my Macbook Pro Santa Rosa under Mountain Lion. Now suddenly the built-in keyboard doesn't work at all so I cannot use my computer. I also notice that the bluetooth function is activated automatically even though I turn it off. It looks for an external keyboard. Please help me out. Many thanks!

I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

Bootcamp 2.1 with WIndows XP SP3 can't turn keyboard light off

Hi I've installed bootcamp 2.1 on my macbook pro 13 (june 2009 model) and the operation went smoothly.
After I install bootcamp drivers everything work like a dream eject button, screen brightness control apart from the keyboard light which I can't turn if off, the light set to the lowest and everything I boot into windows the light goes back to the maximum
Anyone know how to control/disable the keyboard light
I've tried macbook tray tools but doesnt work (freeze after lanuch)
Thank you

I found a quick fix solution.
if I kill the process kbdmgr.exe then the keyboard light will go off and leave the display brightness the same as your setting which is fine for me.
but the volumn controls and eject button will not work I will have to do it from the windows interface rather than the keyboard

My Iphone keeps telling me how to use certain things like alternate keyboards. How do I turn this off?

Every time I hit the globe when sending a text it tells me how to use alternate keyboards. Please tell me how to turn this off.

That's not what I meant. I know how to send a text, but when I try to insert and emoji the same alert comes up.

Turning Wireless apple keyboard off.

This might be a very simple thing to achieve, turning the wireless keyboard off, but I don't seem to find information on how to do it. I have looked on instructions book, which recommends to turn it off when not using it and in old post with no success in finding an answer.
Please could someone help me? the keyboard seem to be chewing the batteries very quickly.
Cheers.

Hello g:
Note in that article that the KB (and mouse) go into a very low power mode when not in use. I never turn mine off unless I am going to be away for a few days. Battery life is essentially a function of use, not turning a device off and on.
Let me suggest that you consider using rechargeable batteries. I use 2650 mAh Duracells and a 15 minute charger (available from both Energizer and Duracell). In that way, I am never without batteries and I do not throw batteries into landfills.

Can the backlit keyboard be turned on/off?

Thinking about selling the Black Book for a new 2.4 Al Macbook. That is the only question I would like to know the answer to, can the keyboard be turned on/off?
Thanks

It can also be disabled in the Keyboard & Mouse System Preference.

Silly question. should I turn my mouse keyboard off?

... or should I leave it on all the time like I've been doing. after reading misery posts about repairing, etc, I'm hesitant to turn it off because I might encounter some problem.

Hello Jerry:
There are few silly questions - answers, yes!
I leave both my wireless keyboard and mouse on all the time. If they are Apple, they go into a very low power mode a short time after they are idle.
I have seen nothing that indicates that battery life is significantly extended by turning them off.

After my computer has been asleep and I touch my trackpad, it wakes enough to show my icon but not enough to acknowledge my keyboard or trackpad so I can type a password. It seems the only way to make it work it to turn it off the back button.

The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
Now- "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

My Apple Bluetooth keyboard has stopped working. The top row of keys works but the rest of the keys do not. I was carrying this in my computer bag without turning it off and that is when this started.

My apple bluetooth keyboard has stopped working. The top row of keys works and the iPad sees the bluetooth keyboard (the bluetooth icon is active) but the other keys do not work. For the past coupld of days I have carried my keyboard in my computerbag without turning it off and I am thinking I have done something to make the letter keys to stop working. Two days in a row I did turn on the music as I carried the computer bag into work so I know that some keys were being activated.

*UPDATE*
I have been able to use the Zoom function to zoom in and the keys on the top row no longer are in the non-responsive strip of area.

TS1631 On an off for the last week or so I have had same problem with my iPhone 4. No sound or no bars show up when trying to increase the volume. I've had it for 14 months and no problem. I've tried all the little tips re turning it off and also holding

Sound on my iPhone 4S is messed up, tips and suggestions left by others not working any more. At first turning it off for a while worked, when turned it back in the keyboard click would work for a few keystrokes but now not even that. Had the phone for a bit more than a year, so I know my sound is on and checked all my settings. Posted suggestions from support is not helpful. I guess next step is to take it in for repair? Or is this Apple's way of telling us to upgrade? :(

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
FYI, Apple does not repair iPhones. If basic troubleshooting does not resolve either purchase a new iPhone or take the device to Apple for an Out of Warranty replacement which is $199US for the 4S.

I bought a new MacBook Pro several months ago. I keep losing my wireless connection (my wife, sitting several feet from me has no problem with her iPad2). I find the quickest fix ix to turn Airport off and back on. Very annoying. Suggestions please?

What kind of wireless router are you using? more importantly which protocol are you connecting with? Are you and wife connecting using the 2.4Ghz band? or do you have a dual band router that offers the 5GHZ band? Are you both connecting vie 802.11 a/b/g or n?
The best thing to do is to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES and select NETWORK, then select AIRPORT and click on the ADVANCED button.
Under the AirPort tab you should delete all the preferred networks and only add back in your network with the proper security settings and passwords.
If you hold down the option key on your keyboard while clicking on the airport icon at the top on your macbook pro. you'll seesome data that will tell you what band and mode you're connecting at, as well as in an indication of signal strength (RSSI) if you write down and post back that information it'll tell us what's going on.
