Wireless keyboard operation on ipad - how to handle touch functions like email garbage can?

Received gift of wireless keyboard for my ipad. Managed bluetooth pairing and am stumped on functions other than simple typing. Can any keys be used for functions like the garbage can in email?

As far as I know it just replaces the onscreen keyboard, the iPad is a touch device and you will need to touch the screen for some things. The function keys for display brightness control, iPod and volume control also work.

  • 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.

    I have a wireless keyboard for my ipad and it says to charge it connect it to my pc.  can i charge it by connecting it to my ipad?

    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.

  • 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.

    Hi champrider,
    You can use an application such as Apple Remote Desktop to control your iMac remotely. See this article -

    This help page will provide you with some other useful resources for Apple Remote Desktop -

    I'm having a problem understanding what you have written I use a PC not a Mac it may be a nomenclature thing.
    "I would like to paint on a clip I generated from a still."
      It sounds like you have created a clip.  What file format is this clip of yours.
      "Now I can´t use the OnionSkins"
      What are OnionSkins and where did they come from.
    "if I paint my brushstroke is on the whole clip not only the first frame."
    What in Photoshop did you paint on.  I just don't understand what your Photoshop active document looks like. Can you post a screen capture of Photoshop with your active document with Photoshop panels visible in the screen capture.

  • Using iPad, how to transfer photos from my email to drop box?

    Using iPad, how to transfer photos from my email to drop box?

    Frist you have to tap and hold the image in the email to see the "Save" option. Selecting this will save the image to Camera Roll in Photos. Once in Camera Roll you can upload the image through the Drop Box app either automatically or manually, however you have this option setup.

    Thank you Carolyn, How helpless you can feel without this App!
    Going into the App Store as you suggest, I see 'thee updates available", the first says, 'X RESTART', the second says, 'Garage Band, an error has occurred" (in red), and the third 'Memory Clean, UPDATE'.
    Am I correct in thinking that OSX is the problem, because it is waiting for a restart?
    Kind regards,

  • How do you sync the wireless keyboard with the Ipad?  It doesn't ever find

    How do you sync the wireless keyboard to the Ipad

    Have you read the iPad manual (Page 22)?
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPad_UserGuide.pdf
    and the Bluetooth Keyboard manual:

    If your keyboard is already paired with another device that is in range then you must unpair it first (see page of the keyboard manual).

  • I just got a wireless keyboard for my iPad 4 and can't get the onscreen keyboard to stop showing as I type with the keyboard.

    I have a just bought a bluetooth keyboard for my iPad 4 and it works fine. It connects with bluetooth and when I type the characters appear fine but the on screen keyboard will not go away. How do I get it to disappear while I am using my bluetooth keyboard.

    Yes that was my next step but I removed the Swift key app I had installed with slightly different functionality than the Apple default screen keyboard. I figured I really didn't need that functionality since the Bluetooth keyboard offered far more flexibility. Sure enough the well designed default Apple keyboard seems to know it is not needed when an external keyboard is in use. Apple software just works better as always.
