Use iPhone as wireless keyboard???

Hy everyone,
I have now searched both iTunes app Store and the iPhone forum and the web and can't find anything that would turn the iPhone into a wireless keyboard for your Mac.
Have I missed something?
Does anyone know if such an app exist?
I don't want to use Remote Buddy as long as it's an web based app.
Thank you.

Hi roaminggnome,
didn't want to use an external keyboard for my iPhone but use my iPhone as an external keyboard for the Mac. Like I use it as a mouse for my Mac.
But thanks anyway - did see the 1000's of postings where ppl want to use a keyboard for the iPhone in my search

Is it possible to use the Apple wireless keyboard with the iPhone 6? Will the Magic Mouse work with iMovie on iPhone6 Plus?

iPhone 6 page says that iMovie is a (free) application available for iPhone 6. When I use it on the desktop I need a mouse. Should I expect all controls to be touch-sensitive, or is it possible to use the wireless Magic Mouse? Similarly, if I want to type an email or a long document, is it possible to use the Mac wireless keyboard to enter text? With the iPhone 6 Plus taking over for laptops (phablet), it seems to me that input tools are relevant. Maybe what I'm asking is whether the iPhone6 (OS8) has drivers for these devices. Please advise.

Apps that are designed for iOS devices such as the iOS version of iMovie are intended to be used entirely by touch. It's worth noting that iMovie for iOS is not absolutely identical to iMovie for Mac OS.

Using keypad on wireless keyboard to enter passwords won't work in safari

I have an iMac and I am using an apple wireless keyboard. Whenever I try and type in a password that has numbers in it and I use the keypad, the password is not recognized. I do not have the mouse function turned on. The keypad works fine in all other programs even in other fields in Safari. Just doesn't work for password entry. It will work in Firefox however.
Any thoughts?

Quit Safari. Disable bookmark synchronization, if applicable.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar. Copy the following line into the text box that opens, then press return:
~/LibrarySafari/Bookmarks.plist
Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the Finder window open. Relaunch Safari. Select File ▹ Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Test. If Safari now performs normally, you can delete the old bookmarks file. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put back the file you moved, replacing the newer one with the same name. Close the Finder window and post again.

Using Apple's Wireless Keyboard on Intel iMac

I would like to use an Apple Wireless Keyboard on my intel iMac (the one that comes in white and has an extended keyboard). Can I do this?
I tried to set it up but the intel imac doesn't recognize it, plus the G5 (which is in close proximity) keeps recognizing it instead.
Any thoughts?

Hello Nathan:
Delete it from the G5. Turn the G5 off. Then try to pair it with the new computer.

Can I use my mac wireless keyboard with iPad?

I'm sure it will work - using my Apple wireless keyboard that I use with my laptop.... and use it with my iPad
Just wondering... would there be any problems or downfalls I haven't thought of?
Sounds like a dumb question
I've just seen a Belkin iPad keyboard advertised for £80 (more than the Apple wireless keyboard for laptops)
So I thought... there *must* be 'something' I'm missing?
Thanks
Omar

Yes it will work. However, you would need to delete it from one device before you attach it to the new device. Bluetooth devices may only be paired with one thing at a time (for obvious reasons).

Is there a list of keyboard shortcuts to use on a wireless keyboard without a numeric pad?

Is there a list of keyboard shortcuts to use on a wireless keyboard without a numeric pad? What I'm missing most is the Page Up/Page Down and Begin/End functions, but a reference list for all available functions would be nice.

Yup. Best $11 you can spend:

HT201178 Is it possible to use an Apple wireless keyboard with a MacBook Pro? Sounds odd, I know, but I much prefer typing on a wireless keyboard.

With a MacBook Pro..is it possible to use an Apple wireless keyboard instead of the keyboard built into the MacBook Pro? I much prefer typing on the wireless keyboard. Thanks

Hello:
If the Macbook Pro has Bluetooth built-in, the answer is yes.

How do you use the same wireless keyboard with multiple devices?

My apologies in advance if this question has been answered previously. There was nothing in the owner's manual (for the keyboard) that answered this. I did do a rough search that did not yield an answer to this:
I have one wireless keyboard I am using with my Macbook Pro. I understand this keyboard can also be used as an input device for my Apple TV and my iPhone - both of which I currently own.
And although I am able to use the keyboard with those devices, I am forced to "forget this device" after having used it on either the Apple TV or my iPhone so that I can use it on my MacBook Pro. Is there any combination of keys that one can press on the keyboard that would cycle through my three devices? As it is right now, if I don't "forget the device" on my secondary units, it somehow defaults to a peripheral OTHER than my MacBook Pro and I'd like for it to always default to my computer.
Thank you for any information/advice.

Iphone 5 & wireless keyboard

Thanks,

Using iPhone as external Keyboard for iPad?

I'm not a developer- but if I was this would be the Ap I would develop.
Folks are already used to using their iPhone keyboard.
Hit me back if anyone has this.

Not sure why you'd rather use your tiny iPhone keyboard over the nice big one on the ipad but there are at least a couple of iPhone apps that let it be the wireless keyboard for a Mac or Windows machine (over wifi). They probably won't work with the iPad, but I don't know. They all seem to cost something, so it wouldn't be free to find out.

Using Apple's wireless keyboard

I am having trouble pairing their wireless keyboard with my MacBook Air. The computer sees the keyboard but it just won't pair.
Has anyone else run into this? If so, did you get yours paired?
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have more than one computer using bluetooth? I had a similar problem. I have an iMac and a Powerbook. Both have bluetooth mice and keyboards. When I set them up the keyboard paired with computer A later also got paired and connected to computer B. When this happened it stopped working with computer A. When I tried to reconnect the keyboard to computer A it would discover the keyboard but failed to connect. I went to computer B, opened System Preferences, Bluetooth, and deleted the keyboard from computer B. I was then able to connect the keyboard to computer A without problem. I also went into the Syst Pref-Keyboard&Mouse, clicked on the Bluetooth tab, and gave the keyboard a distinctive name so that if it was picked up by computer B in the future I could remove it from the list of bluetooth devices more easily.

Using a Mac wireless keyboard with a MacBook

I just bought a mac wireless keyboard with the intention of using an external monitor and a wireless keyboard with my MacBook (Leopard - 10.5.4.) I have a logitech cordless mouse. I installed the firmware update for the keyboard, it shows connected, and is turned, the light flashed for about 3 seconds,but the wireless keyboard doesn't work - only the laptop keyboard works. Any suggestions? I'm thinking it's beyond my expertise and I just need to return it and use it as a laptop. Do I have to also have a wireless mouse?

Excuse the ring. I finally found the answer. You can't have mouse enabled in Universal Access if you're using a keyboard that doesn't have the number keypad at the right.

Using the A1016 Wireless Keyboard with Windows

So, this isn't a question, it's more like a 'For What It's Worth'. I found some bad information in some archived posts here, and it seems I'm not allowed to resurrect them lol. Anyway, the rumor on the forum is that this old keyboard won't work with Windows 7, 8, etc., but that is just wrong!
http://www.silly-science.co.uk/2012/06/05/pairing-apple-1st-gen-keyboard-a1016-w ith-windows-7/
1) First, have another functioning keyboard hooked up to your PC, in such a way that it is fully operational as an input device for said PC.
2) Batteries in your wireless keyboard are good, right?
3) Slide the switch on the keyboard to 'on'.
4) Go into the Bluetooth control panel in Windows and if the keyboard shows up as a device, hit the connect button.
5) ** Here's the new part ** on your wireless keyboard, type 1 2 3 4 [return].
6) Now Windows will prompt you for a code. Type 1 2 3 4 [return].
Yay! I typed this on a homemade Windows 8.1 PC using my antique Apple Wireless Keyboard A1016. Serenity.

Success! I finally got the older, plastic, white Apple A1016 Bluetooth Keyboard to work on Windows7. I have tried several attempts and multiple days and dont remember the exact steps but I wanted to let folks know the general steps and patience in making it work. You will likely have to try many many times to get it working.
-First, stabilize your Windows BT device drivers i.e., make sure your bluetooth driver works with another device such as a BT mouse. This way, you know your BT driver is working correctly in Windows 7
-Turn on the A1016 power switch until it starts to blink. On your BT menu, click "Add Device" or something equivalent.
-Once it detects the A1016, you can right click on the BT KB icon. I noticed that the first tab did not display the "HID Device" check box option but the 2nd tab, allowed me to change the name of the KB. It is fine if you do not see the "HID Device" check box, as suggested by other sites.
-Click to Connect --- this is where I spent multiple days to get it right.
-It may or may not display a page where it asks you for a pairing code and sometimes, a screen just disappears in a flash. I got multiple pages where I was asked to enter a code (and then failed to connect), got to a page where it asked if I wanted to enter my Code or System generated (also failed to connect) but finally I got to a point, when I hit Connect or Next, it just stayed on the same page (as though nothing is happening), except that is says "Connecting"
At this point, enter "0000" or "1234" or any series of #s on an existing/usb or wired keyboard. Immediately enter the same "0000" or your choice of #s on the A1016 and hit return. Success!
I have spent countless days googling suggested steps and have seen all the problems that others have described but entering on the wired keyboard and then entering the same code on the A1016 was the step that made it work. I liked the look and feel of the A1016 hence I spent an enormous amount of time to make it work but I am glad I did.
