Universal wireless keyboard and palm pre2

Hi,
Do you know if it is possible to use the universal wireless keyboard 3169ww with the new palm pre 2.
Thanks
Post relates to: Zire 72

The Pre2 does not have an IR port, thus you cannot use the 3169ww.
The 3245ww BlueTooth keyboard works great! I have one and enjoy typing away on my "tiny terminal".

Universal Wireless Keyboard by Palm: Keys do not work properly

4 keys on the right side of the keyboard (0, P, L, ".") do not work, and I find it very annoying, because it's been a common problem among all the Palm keyboard I have used.
I have owned 3 Palm keyboards so far. The first one was Palm Wireless Keyboard. It worked great at first, but after about 8 months of use, the keys on the right stopped working. It was not a software problem, I was sure, because I'd performed all the resets (soft, hard, you name it) but it did not resolve the problem. Since the keyboard was still under warranty, Palm replaced it with a new Palm Universal Wireless Keyboard. It worked great at first, but after several months of use, the keys on the right stopped working as well. Palm did not replace this keyboard but I got a new Palm TX around the time, and the Palm sent me Universal Wireless Keyboard free with it, so I just started using the new one, which, worked great at first, but then gave away after several months of use. And I'm TIRED of it.
The keys will work sometimes, but mostly don't, at least not promptly. If I hold down the troubled keys and wait long enough, sometimes they will start working. The keyboard makes a soft ticking noise when I press down on the normal keys, but the troubled ones don't, when they are not working, and I'm guessing this has to do with the wiring.
I was wondering how I can fix this problem. It is VERY annoying when the keys suddenly stops working when I'm taking notes in the class or just won't start working at all.

If the following iFixit repair guide doesn't help, then it is time for a replacement.
see > https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Computer_Hardware
Additionally, you can use most any after-market or pc keyboard with a Mac.
Heck' I've been using $20 MK120 Keyboard/Mouse Combo's with all of my Mac's for years.

Unable to Install Universal Wireless Keyboard with the CD that came with the Palm Tungsten E2 on my Windows Vista OS. Can some help? Would Appreciate it very much.

I recently bought a Palm Tungsten E2. I have been unable to install the Universal Wireless Keyboard software that came with the E2. Went online and downloaded the version 1.13 UWK and that would not install either. What did I do wrong?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

For Vista that version will not let you install programs. Good news though is we have a version you can. Go here, http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk62.html and install this on top of the version you already have. There is going to be a few changes on the desktop, there is no quick install, but the install tool.
Once you have that done just double click on keyboard and it will ask you your hotsync name and sync and your done.
Oh as a side note the check if this is your solution is only if the answer solves your original question.
Message back if you have more question or need more help

Universal Wireless Keyboard driver - can't download?

A friend of mine recently bought an iPhone and gave his old Tx and Universal Wireless Keyboard to my family. I already have a Tx of my own, so I gave the extra Tx to my brother and I decided to keep the keyboard. My friend sent the cd-rom with the keyboard, but when i click to download, a box appears (either "please install PalmDesktop driver" or "please install Microsoft Active Sync Program").
After reading some other posts on here, I tried to download a driver from this link: http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,kb=PalmSupportKB,t=ooccase,case=obj(9372)
I've tried to download it three seperate times, but once I unzip the files and double click the icon it tells me my access is denied.
I wasn't able to use the software that came with my Tx, I had to download the software from the Palm website. I don't know if this may have something to do with my problems...?
I'm at a loss! Any help would be so appreciated.
Post relates to: Palm TX

If it's asking for Active Sync, you're trying to install the wrong driver! There are two on the disk: one for Palm OS devices, and one for Windows Mobile devices. BTW, if the driver on the disk is 1.08, don't install it! The newest one for the TX is version 1.13. If that's on the disk, go for it!
The drivers are supposed to be reinstated soon on the website, and we've been hounding Palm to get them back quickly.

Universal Wireless Keyboard 3169WWZ has letters not working

Hi all, can anyone help me. I have had the same problem with two of these keyboards. On the right hand side of the keyboard, there is a whole section that is 'dead'. The o,p, brackets, k,l,commas, periods, etc. do not register at all. I am extremely frustrated because this is the second keyboard with this problem. The first one lasted a few months and it is the same with this one. Any suggestions?

How sure are you about the one year warranty? I spent two hours on the phone with someone (who didn't seem to know his head from a hole in the ground) who waited that long into the call to inform me that the keyboard warranty is 90 days? Is is worth another call?
<sigh> I understand your frustration with the outsourced support group. I've had terrible experiences with them too.
I'm holding in my hands the "Limited Warranty" pamphlet for the Universal Wireless Keyboard (Palm pamphlet#: 406-10460-00). It states:
"HARDWARE: Palm, Inc. (Palm) warrants to the original end user (Customer) that new Palm branded products will be free from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use, for one (1) year from the original purchase date. Palm warrants refurbished Palm products, marked and sold as such, for ninety (90) days from the original purchase date."
I'd call back, state the obvious mistake by the CSA (and who gets PAID to know this information!) and that you'd like to speak to a supervisor, or at least someone who can read English from the pamphlet mentioned.
The pamphlet goes on to say (you should have one or two of these!) that Palm has the choice to either refund your purchase cost, or send you a reconditioned unit as a replacement if the device cannot be repaired. Dated proof of purchase will also be required.

Universal Wireless Keyboard Tungsten T5

Some years back I bought the PalmOne Universal Wireless Keyboard 3169WW for my Tungsten T5. When I had installed the driver I found that, even though the keyboard worked, I had lost half my screen. I could not rectify this, and had to do a hard reset (the works) to get my whole screen back. I then threw the keyboard into a drawer and forgot about it. Getting it out again recently I was tempted (silly me!) to try again. But caution prevailed and I thought I'd research other users first. This was frustrating (almost as frustrating as trying to register for this forum). Finally I thought to myself that they must have remedied this problem by now, only to see that the date on the download was still many years ago, suggesting that it was still the old, troublesome driver. Could someone tell me if I am heading for a half-screen experience still, if I download the driver? Begging.

Post relates to: Tungsten T5

Dear All,
Many thanks for the helpful replies. I held my breath and downloaded the recommended software from the Palm site. It worked! So far. The dreaded half-screen has not reappeared, so I guess I'm in the clear. My trusty T5 is working quite OK otherwise.
To the expert with the green print. Couldn't remember over those years which application I was in. All of them were affected I think. What's a DIA?
Thanks anyway.

Universal Wireless Keyboard

I have been using a PALM TX and synchronizing it with my outlook and computer fine. Now I have a Universal Wireless Keyboard. When I went to load the drivers it gave me the message: Please install Palm DeskTop Program.What is this referring to. Should I reinstall the Desktop Software that came with the Palm TX or is it referring to something else. There is very little documentation other than "follow the instructions" so I'm not sure what it's referring to. Thanks.
Post relates to: Palm TX

Hello fbcampbell, Welcome to the Palm Support Community.
A few points:
1. If you're using XP, why are you running Palm Desktop 6.2.2? This version was designed for Vista. It lacks many features of 4.2 (the version that comes on the disk included with the TX).
2. The driver disk I received with the same keyboard did not have the latest version of the driver (1.13), but came with 1.08. I'm surprised they have newer disks out now! Be absolutely sure you're trying to install 1.13. This original disk was produced many years ago, and was designed to run with Palm Desktop's installation routine. Version 6.2.2 did not exist when these disks were distributed. The driver disk just supplies the driver to Quick Install, and the next HotSync will install it! That's why you need Palm Desktop on your computer. After the driver is installed, you don't need the disk for normal operation of the keyboard.
3. I'd remove 6.2.2 and go back to 4.2. (You should have it on your installation disk, or you can find it in my "Manual" link below in my sig).
Palm Inc. assumes all of its users of their PDA's are regularly doing HotSync backups with Palm Desktop, and installing software via Quick Install (or on 6.2.2 using the "Install Tool"). I don't see this as "poorly engineered", but a simple way to install the driver.
If you don't use Palm Desktop to backup your valuable data, then I can see this may be a point of frustration to you - having to install two pieces of software to get a driver onto the device. You're also at risk of losing all this data!
HTH,

Universal Wireless Keyboard & Vista?

Quick Install does not work with Vista and the version of Palm Desktop you've installed.
Palm Desktop 6.2.2 is designed for Vista, and uses a different method of installing programs. http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk62.html

My Mac wireless keyboard and mouse won't reconnect

My Mac wireless keyboard and and mouse one day disconnected and I can't reconnect. They have new batteries.

Hi Saint Anne,
Happy Thanksgiving Day! Since both of your wireless input devices are not working at the moment, do you have a wired mouse you can use to straighten this out? Here are some troubleshooting steps to try:
Wireless Connection issue
Make sure Bluetooth is turned on
First, choose Apple () menu > System Preferences > Bluetooth and confirm that Bluetooth is turned ON.
The Bluetooth menu bar icon should turn:
Black if Bluetooth is turned ON and no devices are connected.
Light grey with three dots if Bluetooth is ON and at least one wireless device is connected.
Light grey (or disappear completely) if Bluetooth is turned OFF, or if the iMac is unable to communicate with the Bluetooth module.
Refer to the Bluetooth Menu Icon table below for more information on determining the Bluetooth status. If the Bluetooth icon does not appear, or if the menu bar status continues to indicate that Bluetooth is off, restart your computer and then attempt to turn Bluetooth ON again.
Bluetooth OFF
Bluetooth ON and connected to wireless device
Bluetooth menu icon
Bluetooth status
Bluetooth turned on, but there are no devices connected to the Mac. See the "Make sure the wireless mouse or keyboard is turned on" section of this article.
Bluetooth turned on and at least one wireless device is connected. See the "Make sure the wireless mouse or keyboard is turned on" section of this article.
When this icon flashes, at least one wireless device has a low battery. Click the Bluetooth icon to identify the affected device, then replace the batteries.
Bluetooth is off. Click the Bluetooth icon using a USB mouse and select "Turn Bluetooth On". Note: Mac OS X won’t allow Bluetooth to be turned off unless a USB mouse is connected.
Bluetooth offline. Restart your Mac. If the Bluetooth status doesn’t change, disconnect all USB devices and restart your Mac again.
Make sure the wireless mouse and keyboard are turned on.
Mouse
Slide the On/Off switch on the bottom of your mouse to turn it on. Note: If the battery compartment cover is not installed properly the On/Off switch may not function correctly or may be difficult to operate. Remove the battery compartment cover and carefully reinstall it.
When your mouse is on and paired, and the batteries are charged, the indicator light glows steadily.
If your mouse isn’t paired with a Mac, the indicator light will blink, indicating your mouse is in discovery mode and ready to pair.
If the indicator light doesn't illuminate, check to make sure you have two good batteries and that they're installed correctly.
Keyboard
Push and release the On/Off switch to turn on the Apple Wireless Keyboard.
When your keyboard is on and paired, and the batteries are charged, the light will glow steadily for several seconds, then turn off.
If your wireless keyboard isn’t paired with your Mac, the indicator light will begin to blink. This indicates your keyboard is in discovery mode and ready to pair with your Mac.
If the LED doesn't light up, remove the batteries to make sure they're good and that they're installed correctly.
Check preferences
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences, then choose Bluetooth from the View menu. The Bluetooth preferences pane will list the Bluetooth devices paired with the computer, the status of the devices (paired or connected), and whether Bluetooth power is on or not.
Click the gear icon and choose "Connect" to connect a device that is powered on.
To set up a new device, click the + icon and follow the Bluetooth setup assistant.
If the Mouse System Preferences pane is open and no wired or wireless mouse is connected, your Mac will immediately start looking for a wireless mouse (with Mac OS X v10.6. For Mac OS X v10.5, the Setup Assistant should open).
Keyboard or mouse intermittently stops responding
Click the mouse
Click the mouse once to reconnect it with your Mac. It may take a moment for the mouse to respond.
Check the battery level of the mouse. Choose System Preferences from the Apple (), then choose Mouse from the View menu. The battery level indicator is in the lower-left corner. Replace the batteries if they are low. Note: Choose Keyboard & Mouse from the View menu with Mac OS X v10.5. For more information on keyboard and mouse battery levels in Mac OS X v10.5, see Desktop computers: Troubleshooting wireless keyboard and mouse issues.
Press a key on the keyboard
Press a key on the keyboard to reconnect it with your Mac. It may take a moment for the keyboard to respond.
Check the battery level of the keyboard. Choose System Preferences from the Apple (), then choose Keyboard from the View menu and select the Keyboard tab. The battery level indicator is in the lower-left corner. Replace the batteries if they are low.
Check for signal interference
Wireless networks that operate on 2.4GHz may cause interference.
Move cordless phone base stations, microwave ovens, and other 2.4GHz electrical devices away from the Mac if you suspect interference.
Keep wireless devices within 10 meters (33 feet) of the Mac.
Avoid putting metal objects between the device and the Mac.
Mouse doesn't scroll up or down or side to side
For mice that have a scroll ball, refer to How to clean your Mighty Mouse.
Check the Scrolling speed slide-control at the top, and make sure the “Scroll” checkbox is checked.
For scrolling side-to-side, make sure the application you’re using supports side-to-side scrolling.
Remember, scrolling is done with one finger, and navigating is done by swiping side-to-side with two fingers.
Navigating moves from page to page in a document or internet browser unlike scrolling.
Mouse does not track as expected (jittery, jumpy, slow, fast).
The Apple Wireless Mouse can be used on most smooth surfaces, however if tracking issues occur try these options:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.
Mouse buttons do not work as expected.
The Mouse preference pane allows users to customize the mouse features to meet their needs.
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.
Keyboard has one or more keys that do not respond.
Use the Keyboard Viewer to test whether the keyboard keys are responding correctly when they are pressed.
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Language & Textfrom the View menu (or International from the View menu in Mac OS X v10.5 or earlier).
Select Input Sources.
Select the Keyboard & Character Viewer checkbox.
Enable the input source for the keyboard layout you are testing by selecting the checkbox next to it.
Make sure that "Show Input menu in menu bar" is enabled.
Choose Show Keyboard Viewer from the Input menu in the menu bar, as shown.
The Keyboard Viewer shows the keyboard layout.
Type the key on the keyboard that doesn’t respond and observe whether the corresponding key highlights on the Keyboard Viewer. If it does, that particular key is functioning correctly. In the sample shown above the shift and command keys are being pressed.
If the mouse keys feature in the Universal Access System Preferences pane is enabled, many of the keyboard keys may not respond as expected.
Try starting up into single user mode to determine whether a software issue is causing the issue.
Cheers,
Judy

TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work). "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.
