Here's what I've noticed: I used to use a keyboard with my T5. The keyboard setup screens on the T5 and Centro look about the same and both have a ON/OFF "button" the user must click on to activate the keyboard software in the Palm. I suppose the user could always leave the keyboard software ON, but I'm in the habit of turning things off when not in use. If the Centro user has already paired the keyboard and Centro, and if the user has turned OFF the keyboard software in the Centro, a Bluetooth pairing screen appears when the keyboard software is turned ON for the next use. This requires the user to search and pair the devices again. However, if the user does NOT turn the keyboard software off, or if the Centro's power saving shutoff occurs after being idle for a while, the pairing seems to be remembered when turning the Centro back on. I haven't tested this for "long" periods of being idle or OFF, nor have I tested this after folding up the keyboard. There doesn't appear to be any ON/OFF button on the keyboard itself, which seems strange. I don't know if the keyboard just times out when it realizes it's not communicating with another Bluetooth device after a while or what. I've only used the keyboard briefly so I'll learn more with time.

I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad. I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad. I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

Not knowing which wireless keyboard you bought, it is difficult to be specific. but ...
it is quite normal for the keyboard's power light not to stay on - it is a way of conserving battery power.
Try this:
turn you keyboard off
on your iPad go to Settings > Bluetooth
if your keyboard is listed under Devices, then touch the little blue i to its right and choose Forget this Device
now reset your iPad: hold both the Home and Power buttons down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, let go promptly when the Apple logo appears and wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on
After your iPad is back on again go back to Settings > Bluetooth
now turn your keyboard back on and see if it appeard under Now Discoverable
if it doesn't read your keyboard guide to figure out how to put it into Discovery mode
touch the listing for your keyboard under Now Discoverable, it should now appear under Devices
touch the listing for you keyboard under Devices, and choose to pair with it.

Nokia Wireless Keyboard for N90.

I have not long purchased the Nokia Wireless Keyboard for my N95. Which works perfectly. I decided to use it with my N90 which I have the latest firmware for and each time I try to install the Wireless Keyboard application I contunue to get the error message: File Corrupt. I have downloaded this file several times from the Nokia Website. But it still doesnt work. I have also tried to install it with the Memory card that came with the Keyboard but I get a Error message saying unknown certificate!!!
Any ideas. My N90 is Simfree.

Hi all just to let you know I was able to sort my little problem regarding installing new software and also the Nokia Wireless Keyboard to my N90. It has something to do witht the dates. If I have the phone set at 2007 then I cannot install any of the original sfotware that you can download from the Nokia Website. But if I change my date to 2006 or 2005 I can install them with no problem at all. I have only experienced this since I have updated my firmware to the latest version.
Thanks

My iMac keeps typing a minus sign. I switched my wireless keyboard for a plug in Windows keyboard, and it keeps typing this one character. I took the batteries out of the Mac keyboard, so that is not the problem. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8.

Thanks for your observation. I realize they are different versions, but when I use the "Software Update" menu, this is as far as it would update. Is there some way to update the iMac beyond what "Software Update" does? I've tried it several times.
Please Note.
Upgrading OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion) is not an update. It is a paid upgrade. Just as with 10.7 (Lion) you must purchase it from the App Store with yor Apple ID and install it after backing up your current computer state for safety.

HT2452 just got a replacement wireless keyboard for imac but comp doesn't recognize it and won't connect. can't type or use it. any suggestions?

Just got a relpacement wireless keyboard for my imac but the computer won't recognize it and b/c i can't use the keyboard (type) there's little troubleshooting i can do. how do i reconnect this? thanks!

You may need a wired keyboard to carry out some of these steps. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.
Step 1
Follow the instructions in these support articles:
How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard
Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
Step 2
The keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
Step 3
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
See these support articles:
Bluetooth keyboard may not pair during Setup Assistant
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference
Bluetooth: Unreliable wireless performance may occur when USB 3.0 external devices are close
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

No. The iPad's port won't put out enough power. You could probably plug your keyboard into your iPad charger and charge it that way, but it won't charge off the iPad.

Have you tried to go into bluetooth and telling it to forget your keyboard?
Drastic but might enable you to repair the devices and see if it clears up the glitch.
I had a period of time when my iPad always sensed and used my bluetooth keyboard. I think it finally went away after I powered down the iPad. (not just a put to sleep, a bonafide 'slide the red slider to shut it down' powering down.

Wireless keyboard for Palm TX and Adobe reader update?

I am considering purchasing a wireless keyboard for a Palm TX. Will the 3169WW work? If purchased new, what driver will it come with ( what driver do I need?). How universal is this keyboard? I have Adobe Reader 3.05 on the TX. Should I be looking for a newer version. Thank You!
Post relates to: Palm TX

I just deployed a "new (!) TX and the Palm Bluetooth Keyboard, after years of using the Tungsten T3. For the most part I'm happy with both. There's just a little downside to the keyboard, that is, the lack of a key combination to duplicate the Graffiti stroke that involkes shortcuts (these are the mostly custom texts that you set up in Prefs to insert by making the stroke followed by just one or two or three characters). On the Ultrathin Keyboard, which I used with the T3, the fn-ctrl combination made the shortcut stroke on the screen, after which I could type (for example) "dts," which would insert a date and time stamp. I think the Palm infrared wireless keyboard does the same thing. If there is such a functionality on the BT keyboard, it's not documented and I cannot find it. (I suspect that it may have been left out because it may be mostly used with smartphones, Treo series etc., which have the hardware keyboards and so dispense with Graffiti, but I use the Graffiti shortcuts a lot, so this omission makes me a somewhat unhappy camper. If anyone has discovered a way to invoke this function on the BT keyboard, I would be very interested.)

Can not locate wireless keyboard for my iPad

My wireless keyboard for my ipad is no longer displayed on the screen that the Bluetooth app is.
I have tried everything.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Do you mean that when you go into Settings > Bluetooth > your wireless keyboard is not listed under devices?
If so:
make sure your keyboard is charged.
turn your keyboard off, reset your iPad, turn the keyboard back on, see if it shows up, put it in discovery mode see if it shows up
to reset your iPad:
Hold both the Home button and the Power button down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
Let go promptly when it appears.
Wait 30 seconds or so for your iPad to restart.
No information or settings will be lost.

Compatible Wireless Keyboard for Lenovo w530

Hi, I want to buy a wireless Keyboard for my Lenovo W530. I've pre-installed windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.04. I need to use that keyboard in both operating systems. Please suggest some. I already have wireless logitech mouse and it works fine. with regards, Ritam

Hi there.
Do be VERY careful about acquiring/using a keyboard from a different system. You absolutely MUST look up the parts description for each machine and identify the keyboard FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) number.
If they are identical then.... ok... no problem!
If they are DIFFERENT then..... DON'T DO IT! They may look identical but they will have something... somewhere.... different!!!! It may be just a screw hole in a different place but it might also be a completely different ribbon cable configuration!!
The C100 keyboard FRU list (different languages) is at
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-63044
while the N500 list is at
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70943
I see the US English FRU is 42T3403 for C100 but 34T7417 for the N500! QED....don't do it! Not compatible!

Will wireless keyboard for 1 iPad interfere with another iPad?

I have an iPad 2 (WiFi) on order. I will probably get a second one for my wife.
I have 2 questions about the wireless keyboard:
1) If I get a wireless keyboard, can I use it for either iPad?
2) If my wife and I are both using apps at the same time on our separate iPads that require text input and my wife is using the keyboard for hers, will it interfere with the text input on my iPad?

You can have multiple iPads in the same room, each with their own assigned/paired keyboard. I suppose at some level they might interfere with each other (like tens of thousands of cell phones at a BIG sports event), but I have seen labs with dozens of keyboards and iPads with no problem!

Assigning SEND key to Apple Wireless Keyboard for messages?

Does anyone know whether you can assign a "Send" key on the Apple Wireless Keyboard so I can send text messages and email without having to touch the iPhone's "Send" button? There's no info in the manual. I'm handicapped and have difficulty working the phone's dinky key layout, and bought the keyboard to help me send text messages. Kinda defeats the purpose if I have to then Send the message from the iPhone, not the keyboard . . .

I believe you can use VoiceOver in combination with your keyboard to do what you want. Settings>General>Accessibility>VoiceOver>On.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3598
Essentially when in VoiceOver, you use the arrow keys and space bar while holding down the control and option keys to select and tap what you need.

Trying to use function keys (like windows) on apple wireless keyboard for ipad, as well as arrow keys.

I am connecting to my work PC through my ipad. My main program i use for work is a DAS based (ancient, i know.) Anyways, i have to be able to use function keys, i can touch the screen so if i can not it isn't the end of the world. But it would make things MUCH more easier. Is there a way to program the F1-F12 keys on the wireless keyboard to use like windows, rather than the brightness/volume/play buttons.
Also, my arrow keys don't seem to work right. If i am using notepad, they don't work, unless i have entered down 6 lines, the arrows will work as far as those 6 lines, but won't go down on there own. If i am on the internet and there is a drop down menu, the arrow keys don't work either. As well as in my work program, they don't work at all, it's as if the arrow keys don't register.
Help?!

Just added information. In my work program, i can use the onscreen keyboard (but it takes up half the screen so i can not see what i am doing. From that keyboard, and can toggle back and forth from the regular keyboard, the FN screen for function keys, and the CTRL keyboard. This is why i am confused as to why the function keys and arrows will not work on the wireless, yet they have the keyboard on the screen.
