Director MX 2004 Mac OS X numeric keypad

Hi,
I am new to this so please excuse the basic question. I would
like to use the numeric keypad for number entry in Director MX 2004
on a Mac. It doesn't seem to work because I think the keys are
assigned to shortcuts. The only keys that work are 2 and 9. Is
there any way to turn this off so I can use the keypad for typing
numbers? Number lock doesn't seem to do anything and there doesn't
seem to be anywhere to change the settings in preferences. Thank
you in advance for your help.

This might be more trouble than it's worth in authoring mode.
You probably need to install a blank menu to trap these events with
your own menu system (see 'installmenu' int the help).
In a projector or shockwave however, I believe this issue is
gone. In authoring you can use the standard top row of the keyboard
instead.

  • The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working. Help!

    The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working with my Macbook pro.  If I plug the keyboard into any other computer, that entier key works fine. I'm using a standard Mac wired keyboard, & it's worked fine for 2 years now. Help!
    This is the keyboard I am using: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B/apple-keyboard-with-numeric-keypad
    Not sure what I might have accidentily done to disable the enter key. (The normal enter key works fine, just the one on the numeric keypad.)
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi there,
    Do you have any resolution to this problem in the end? Because it happened to me an exact same thing.
    Please share if you have found a solution to your problem. I also cannot think of what I did wrong to disable the Enter key.

  • Simulate a numeric keypad right on a mac laptop keyboard?

    Is there any software that can simulate a numeric keypad right on a mac laptop keyboard - like hold down a function ket or whatever and some keys become like numeric keypad?

    revDAVE, I use [KeyRemap4MacBook|http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook> to emulate a numeric keypad on my keyboard. In KeyRemap4MacBook’s “Change FN Key” category, this is done by selecting the “FN to FN (+ When you type FN only, send FN_Lock)” checkbox. When the fn key is pressed and released by itself, the numeric keypad emulation is toggled; otherwise, the fn key continues to act as usual.

    Can any one help me with this?
    Is Rosetta supported on Tiger 1.4.7 and how can I made
    Director MX 2004 run
    on that system?

  • Numeric keypad locked Mavericks on Mac Mini Older Wired Keyboard

    Using Mac mini on mavericks and I can't unlock or get the extended numeric keypad to work
    I have tried two different wired USB old style apple keyboards and the extended numeric keypad won't work using either keyboard
    I've tried pressing the Num Lock key and holding it down
    Something I don't know? Please help

    If you can't get this sorted out, why not just buy a new $12 Logitech usb optical mouse from Walmart, which will have left and right mouse buttons.
    Control+click is the same thing as clicking with the right mouse button on a two-button mouse. Problem solved.
    BTW I use these inexpensive Logitech mice on all the Minis I set up.

  • HT5636 need mac numeric keypad to work on a windows program in boot camp

    I have an iMac and am trying to use my wired numeric keypad on a windows program running in bootcamp. how do you make this work?

    Do you have BC drivers installed? Is there a Control Panel -> System -> Boot Camp option? In the Boot Camp panel, do you see the following options?
    The drivers should be similar to the following in Device Manager.

  • Numeric keypad no longer works with 10.9

    Since updating to OS 10.9 I no longer have any input from the numeric keypad on any extended keyboard.  Using those number keys produces no input.

    This is not a solution at all, but a test.
    Since you are under snow and you don't want to go back I suppose...
    Download the leaked beta version of Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac (see crackberry.com).
    Just test the connection (do nothing else).
    If the connection works (your pin is retrieved by the soft) you have a question on your desk : going back to Leopard or waiting for a maybe upgrade of the DM that today sync only with iCal and not with Entourage.

  • Numeric keypad not working

    The numeric keypad no longer functions with my Apple keyboard when trying to input numbers with Excel or AppleWorks. It has functioned in the past. The screen just freezes. Not sure what might have caused the change. Trying a different known working keyboard with keypad does not work either.
    Would doing a SMU reset help?
    Any suggestions?
    Disk Utilities corrected permissions but the problem persists.

    Thanks for the hint, I found the following:

    My numeric keypad doesn't work
    The way the numeric keypad works depends on your computer, the keyboard you're using, the application you're working in, and whether the Num Lock key is engaged. Usually, the numeric keypad is used to enter numbers in a document, but in some applications you might be able to use the keypad to navigate (move around in) your document.
    Press the Num Lock key to switch between the ways the numeric keypad functions.

  • Disable embedded numeric keypad?

    Hello knowledgeable Mac folks,
    Somehow, my father has been managing to repeatedly and unintentionally activate the embedded numeric keypad in his iBook keyboard (the numbers below the letters M, J, K, L, U, and I) as he types. (This has been happening in a number of applications: Word, Firefox, etc.)
    My assumption is that he is somehow accidentally hitting certain keys that activate this as he types, but I thought I would check in with the experts. Could this be an indication of a larger issue, or is it likely that he's just unknowingly activating it as he types?
    If the latter, what would be the keys that would activate this? How would he deactivate it when he does accidentally activate it? And even more, is there any way to disable this embedded numeric keypad so that he couldn't accidentally activate it at all?
    I've been looking around for answers and haven't found anything. Thanks for any help you can offer!
    Best,
    Emily

    Hi Ronda,
    I believe he's using 10.3.9.
    There haven't been any other major issues -- this is the only one. Usually he uses it on a table, and over the summer he's been actually using it on his lap, so I suspect he's just setting it off accidentally as he types . . .
    However, when this is happening, the green num lock light does not come on, which is what made me wonder if there was something else going on.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Numeric keypad strangeness

    Just recently (over the past 4 months or so) I have been seeing strange things with the numeric keypad on the Apple wired keyboard. I have a mid-2010 iMac (27", 3.6 GHz i5, 12 GB RAM, running Mountain Lion. What I am seeing is that when I use the numeric keypad to enter data, the cursor will move to a different field, seemingly on its own volition. I have seen this behavior in Quicken 2007, Excel:Mac 2011, and Safari, so it looks to be more at the system level (or the keyboard). Does anyone have any ideas to fix this?
    Thank you in advance.

    Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists. If so, then step two is to try another keyboard.

  • Apple Wired keyboard with numeric keypad works for 10.5.6??

    Hello!
    I have a iBook G4 1 Ghz 256 mb of ram. I want the apple wired keyboard
    With numeric keypad. My iBook is running 10.5.6. Would this work on leopard?
    I don't care if the launch pad and mission control keys don't work since I have leopard.
    However, on the box it says that the minimum requirements
    Is 10.6.8 but some people say it'll work.
    Please Help!!!
    Thank You So Much

    ok thanks for the tip and yes i admit i didn't see that...
    but it seems a little weird to have to upgrade all the OS to Snow Leopard just to use a keyboard.
    That kind of new device should be configured through a driver to download...shouldn't it ?
    I presume there's no keyboard driver that can solve my problem.. ?
    so you confirm that if i pay for Snow Leopard and upgrade my OS, my keyword will definitely work correctly with my Mac Mini ?
    Thanks

  • Apple USB Keyboard with Numeric Keypad Problem

    Hi,
    I have a Mac Mini macOS 10.5.8
    I just bought an apple USB keyboard with numerci keypad (aluminium) and am having problems
    1/ If i hit @ i get <
    2/ if i hit < i get @
    3/ the function keys do not work : if i hit fn F11 it displays the desktop (as F11 does also), i was expecting lower volume
    4/ if i hit fn F12 i get the widgets (as with F12) i was expecting higher volume
    etc....
    It seems my USB keyboard with numeric keypad is not recognized.
    If i look at the Keyboard Visualizer (top right) it displays a keyboard that does NOT look like mine, it is smaller.
    Why isn't this keyboard correctly recognized ?
    Thanks

  • Apple numeric keypad keyboard caps LED not working...

    Hi,
    I am using numeric keypad(wired one) with my iMac, suddenly, when i switched on the machine in evening and tried tap the CAPS key and it doesn't light up but the caps lock is working perfectly fine.
    I saw many posts regarding this on Apple discussions, but, none of them has worked for me.
    Sometimes, i use this keyboard with Windows 7 also it is not working for that too. I tried with many other PCs including Windows or Mac but, didn't worked.
    I discovered that Apple is providing protection against accidently CAPS lock with new manufactured keyboards, i bought my iMac 15 days back.
    My entire work in on Mac and on the application i used to work on, i need to enter the password at almost 4 locations and with out knowing that CAPS lock is on or off, really taking a lot of time.
    Can any body suggest that the problem is with the LED Bulb or what? or this a manufacturing fault? or i need to go for a new keyboard?
    Your comments are really appreciated in this regard.

    Hi, my first suspect would be a bad Keyboard.
    Open System Preferences>Keyboard>Modifier keys, is Caps Lock set to No Action?
    Open Keyboard Veiwer in Sys Prefs>International or Languages, do the letters switch to upper case when Caps Lock is pressed?
