iPad 2 and Apple wireless keyboard (function keys not working)...

Using the ipad 2 (iOS 5.0.1) and Apple bluetooth keyboard model A1314. I was suprised when the function keys suddenly stopped working one morning. Soft and hard reboots did nothing but repairing it with bluetooth did the trick for me.

hi all i know this post has been dead for a little while but i am struggling to find the answers!

i have the wireless keyboard with the 6 little boxes (f4) all my function keys such as brightness and volume work fine, however i find it extrenely annoying that i cant move up and down on web pages, cant close the app i am looking at or select another app without having to be close to the ipad in order to use my finger to select it.

are there any keyboard shortcuts to overcome this issue or perhaps an app that utilises the dead keys (f3, f4, f5, f6)

any help would be much appreciated

Hi---

An app would be a cool idea. Meanwhile, I have found this list of tips/tricks very useful, though I think she is using the "A" keyboard and we have Bs (the six little boxes on F4). I did learn some things, though.

F3 F4 are only for Mac. F5 F6 are customizable but I believe they are only customizable Mac.

I have a apple wireless keyboard A1314 and i just bought a ipad 2 and the iOS is 6.1.3 i have a problem with run on letters. when i am writting the last letter entered will continue. An example would be i write the word brick. when i write it with the A1314 on my ipad 2 i get brickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk and it keeps going on and on

You might get more responses if you start a new thread, rather than adding to this old one.

My first thought is that the keyboard may be defective. Have you tried it with other devices, such as a computer, another iPad or an iPhone?

If the problem is with your iPad, it might help to reset (reboot) it. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

If it is convenient, take both the iPad and the keyboard to visit an Apple Store Genius. At least they can tell you where the problem is. If still in warranty, they should replace the defective part on the spot.
