    Magic keyboard Space Grey extended

    Just got one of these last week on a clearance sale 119 uk pounds I didn't get a chance to go to the store and try these out so had to buy from the web. I had assumed that as I was buying Apple that it was a safer option than buying cheaper unknown brands. What a horrendous keyboard. One of...

    iPad iPadOS --> Keyboard cover with trackpad?

    Can we expect to see any keyboard cover for iPad Pro with a built-in bluetooth trackpad after iPadOS release? After the release, I think that thing will be doable. I wonder if Logitech, Zagg etc. think the same as I do. What do you think?

    Bluetooth keyboard not working on IPad

    I reset my IPad Air and reconnected my bluetooth keyboard to it. When I hit spacebar it returns to the start of the line instead of what the space bar normally does. Now with this problem, the keyboard is impossible to use and I now only use it as a stand. Any ideas on what I could try?

    Resolved Media Buttons not working IN iTunes

    SOLUTION: The media keys IN iTunes are for some odd reason (or maybe a bug) internet bound. No internet means they don't work in iTunes but just fine for every other Media Player etc. I will contact Apple and ask if I have the time in the near future. If something substantial is said I will...

    I got the new Magic Keyboard (with numerical pad) with my iMac 2019 and I can't seem to get used to it because of the new key spacing and sizing. The F-keys are the same size as the other keys and the spacing between the enter and delete key is almost identical to the other keys so I don't...

    MacBook Pro Extreme?

    I've been thinking that Apple needs a ruggedized version of its MacBooks. A line made for more extreme uses. Military grade specs. There are industries and sectors that Apple doesn't do well in because not only are they expensive, the MacBooks aren't as durable. Right now if you drop your...
