Which is the delete key on a wireless keyboard

How do I "delete" using a wireless keyboard (no delete key) and why doesn't apple inform customers when they buy ?

Depends which keyboard you have. See screenshot.
In my UK keyboard it is the X under F13.

The escape key in my wireless keyboard stopped working

Dear list members, suddenly, the ESC key in my wireless keyboard stopped working. As it looks normal and all other keys are working properly, might it be a configuration problem? Could you please help me? I'm working on an iMac 27 late 2012 running OSX 10.10.2. Thank you.

Please reset the SMC, this may take 2-3 attempts and post back with the results.

The arrow keys on my wireless keyboard no longer scroll.

The arrow keys on my wireless keyboard no longer respond or scroll. They will page down with the fn/command key, but do not respond by themselves. How can I fix this? This is with an iMac, 10.7.5. Thanks..

I'm having similar issues with the wireless keyboard, the brightness buttons aren't working and Apple can't seem to fix the issue. They replaced the keyboard for me and the initially worked but now they aren't and this was replaced today.
Can you please let me know how you fixed the f1 and f2 keys? Everything else works for me...

Where is the delete button on my wireless keyboard?

Hi
I think that I may have exhausted every possibility but can anyone tell me if there is, in fact, a delete button on my Mac wireless european keyboard? I have a double width backspace button where the delete should be but it only works as delete in certain applications. It doesn't work as a delete button for instance in iTunes. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks

On an iPad this function is still one apple is to provide. On your Mac wireless keyboard it is the usual hold down the fn key and the tap the delete key.

Where is the DELETE key -- and I don't mean "backspace"

Every PC of any stripe that I have ever owned -- and we're talking a lot of machines in nearly 30 years of this -- has had two 'delete' keys.
One is a backspace key -- it erases characters in before the cursor. It's usually found above the enter/return key, where the backspace key used to be on those old-fangled typewriter machines.
The other key was a "delete" key -- which would erase characters that apper AFTER the cursor. There the backspace key would erase backwards, the delete key would erase forwards.
So, where is the DELETE key on a Mac keyboard? Is there some combination of keys that will serve that purpose? Or does somebody really think I'm going to move the cursor to the end of some place and delete backwards ALL the time?
I read in yesterday's Wall Street Journal that Steve Jobs doesn't like buttons, but this is ridiculous. It could, in fact be a fatal error... I've still got 10 days to take this thing back...
--PS

I don't suppose there is any kind of utility program that would let me re-map they keyboard, so that I could make, say, the "enter" key at the bottom into a "forward-delete" key (I never use that enter key, my hands are trained to use the "enter/return" key where it's always been on a typewriter -- yeah, I'm that old...)
Either buried on the Mac somewhere or a third party program that would let me do that? Would sure make the MacBook more liveable... I delete a LOT!
Thanks,
--PS

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2007 which sometimes goes berserk writing the letter 'h', and makes a fast tapping sound when not in a doc. It stops when I hit the delete key. Also can't use the letter 'h' in a word processor.

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2007 which sometimes goes berserk writing the letter 'h' in a word processor. It stops when I hit the delete key for a while. Also can't use the letter 'h' in a word processor. The computer makes a fast tapping sound when not in a doc, in any application or in the finder or when a application is running. Sometimes when this is happening I cannot control the cursor. I have to hit the 'delete' key to proceed. Does anyone know anything of this?

HT3986 Does anyone know how to enable the "Delete" key for logging on the Windows 7 partition on the latest iMac, via the latest Apple wireless keyboard? Many Thanks

Hi All
Does anyone know how to enable the "Delete" key for logging on the Windows 7 partition on the latest iMac, via the latest Apple wireless keyboard - the standard wired apple keyboard works fine via this key but not the new wireless keyboard?
Many Thanks

Holy crap, this fixes the issue. At least temporarily it has. I should add that my issue was single finger forward/back swipe stopped working on the magic mouse in Firefox since Mavericks came along. I have been fighting this since I upgraded to Mavericks a few months ago. Thank you, tbirdvet. You have no idea how much easier you just made using my iMac again.

I bought this very nice iMac. The first time I ever use a Apple product. Can someone please tell me where the delete key is on the keyboard. I cannot think for one moment that Apple did not provide for such a key. Please help.

The delete key does a backward delete because it is the natural way to delete while typing. May not be to you and the millions of youngsters who grew up with windows computers. When you are typing and want to delete that which you just typed you are already at the end and you delete back to where you want to re-type. When you go back to a document and want to delete a selection, you have to go to the end of the selection instead of the beginning. it's just the way its always been done on macs. it takes some getting use to.
If you select text to be deleted with your mouse then the delete key deletes the selected text. same for either delete key method.
It is not convenient when you tab to fields in a form. That why fn-delete does a forward delete.
Macs have a couple of keyboards. The small "wireless keyboard" only has the (backward) delete (fn-delete forward). The larger "Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad" has both a Delete (backwards) key beside the = abd it has the "delete >" key in the groups with fn, home, end, Pg up and Pg dn. This keyboard is best for users who have switched from windows or are familiar with the windows forward delete.

Using the "Delete" Key (fn + delete)

It says in the Boot Camp Installation Guide that hitting (fn + delete) on a mac keyboard is equivalent to the "Delete" key on a PC, while running Windows thru boot camp. This is not working for me. Is there something I'm doing wrong? This is very important that it work for me because I use it all the time.

oh, thought I'd share this with the rest of the thread: my temporary solution to this keyboard support problem. I make registry edits using a program called keytweak to remap keys in windows. to get the Del key back in service I just mapped it's function to the right hand shift key, which I've never used for anything (all left hand shifts). I've also remapped several other keys that aren't working in Boot Camp, but be warned -- any key you remap via a registry edit will no longer respond to the special Fn key modifier commands through Boot Camp. Oh, and I use rEFIt to fix the problem with Boot Camp not displaying my windows partition at startup. I would still prefer a legitimate solution to this problem though, as these 3rd party solutions will not cover everything.

How would I make it so that when "deleting" an image I can make it so that the delete key does it or a button I put on the application?

I want it so that I can use either a button on the designer window or the delete key. I know how to do the or part but the trouble I'm having is coding the button in.
if (LastImageClicked != null && (e.Key == Key.Delete || Button))
This is the code that I have in the format I'm looking for I just don't know how to do it. Thanks for your help!

There are a number of things which are unclear about your question.
I'll tell you one way to approach this though.
Handle Window.PreviewKeyDown.
<Window
Window.PreviewKeyDown="Mainwindow_PreviewKeyDown"
Code behind
private void Mainwindow_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
if (e.Key == Key.Delete)
File.Delete("p001.jpg");
I don't know enough about what you mean by LastImageClicked but you need some way of knowing which path you are going to delete.
Then you might well have a problem if it's showing in an image control.
You will need to copy the picture off disk into a new bitmapimage object.
If you just do
<Image Source="p001.jpg"
Then that image will grab the file and you won't be able to delete it - you'll get an error.
In my experimental code p001.jpg is set as content copy always so it ends up next to the exe in the bin when the solution compiles.
You would probably want a full path to a file there.
Hope that helps.

Uninstalling applications? and wheres the delete key.

Sorry to sound like a complete idiot. However Ive had my macbook for a full day. First impressions are exceptional, however Ive only ever used DOS, Windows PCs over the last 13years, and this is completly new to me.
First question, which does sound dumb, is where is the delete key? I know theres a back space, but no delete for deleting characters in front of the cursor??? If so what key is it?
Secondly, how do I uninstall apps? In Windows, it could be done via add/remove programs, however I have no idea what Im looking for to remove installed programs on the hdd.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks Paul

Hi
As for the remaining 1% that Terence did not deal with, these are applications that are more complex in structure and typically install files in various locations. These apps come with their own uninstaller. Check whether an app has such an uninstaller when you install it. Typically, uninstall info is to be found in the Readme file that comes with the application. As Dr. Smoke says:
"Never install an application until you know how to uninstall it!"

I just purchased my first iPad (the new one) and a wireless keyboard. Is there a keyboard usage manual available anywhere that shows the functions of the keys? The info that came with the keyboard was very basic and my searches have been unsuccessful.

If you are using a Bluetooth keyboard on your iPad device, you should take advantage of the keyboard shortcuts for quicker access to copy, cut, paste, undo, redo, and other commands.
Command + C : Copy Selected Text
Command + V : Paste
Command + X: Cut Selected Text
Command + Z: Undo
Command + Shift + Z: Redo
Command + Delete: Delete everything to the left of the cursor on the current line
Option + Delete: Delete the word to the left of the cursor
Command + Up Arrow: Go to top of document
Command + Down Arrow: Go to bottom of document
Command + Left Arrow: Go to beginning of current line
Command + Right Arrow: Go to end of current line
F1: Dim screen
F2: Brighten screen
F7: Back one song
F8: Play/pause song
F9: Skip song
F10: Mute
F11: Decrease volume
F12: Increase volume
Eject button: Show or hide onscreen keyboard

What is the deal with the delete key?

On my Mac mini the delete key works like one, but on the MacBook Air its the backspace? what is the deal? as a writer I find this very annoying and tempted to return the thing!

regardless of what theyre named, theyre both in the same place.

The mac mini doesnt have a keyboard, are you referring to the Apple wifi keyboard you can buy to go with your Mac Mini?
