HT1343 if one is using windows 8.1 on a boot camped mac and you are using a mac keyboard . How does one unlock the numbers on the larger wired keyboard ( numbers keys to the right of the keyboard) instead of having to use the numbers at the top of the ke
Question: I am using a mac , wired Keyboard, on a windows 8.1 platform ( this is because I have boot camped my hard drive) Unfortunately when I change over from my mac set up into the windows 8.1 the key board does not behave like it does when I am using as a mac. The numbers , on the right of the keyboard , no longer function and I have to use the numbers at the top of the keyboard, very annoying. Can anybody let me know how I unlock the numbers on the right of my keyboard?
Regards CM
I have stated every issue I’ve had so far in a fairly clear and concise way. I think if you read what I wrote, it all makes logical sense as to what is going on. Windows 7/8 would work just as well on a Mac if it was supported the same way the OS is for other OEMs.
As I stated earlier in the post, I’m having these same issues in windows 8, not just 8.1, which is the reason for the post. I know the difference between supported by drivers and not supported by the manufacturer. The fact that when Haswell mbp’s came out and no revision to bootcamp for the new hardware was released to fix issues with installing windows on the new hardware shows Apple clearly Is not supporting bootcamp as strongly as they advertise.
I am being realistic on Apple having drivers early. Anyone with an MSDN subscription can download the RELEASE version of windows months ahead of the actual release, I’m 100% sure if any average consumer can do that by paying $100 and saying they are a developer, apple can do it just as easily.
You aren’t much help, you haven’t answered really anything to my post, nor have you contributed any knowledge that wasn’t clearly posted above, so don’t say anything if you don’t have anything to contribute.
By the way, my rant is directed at apple, as you can see because I am saying “Apple, if you are going to…” because this is an Apple forum on Apple’s website. It is not directed to end users, clearly.

Hello, I am trying to use a photo,that I've opened up in pages on a blank landscape, taken from my camera roll and use it as album cover art. All the custom text's will not paste when I copy. Pic and texts are saved as a PDF, how can I paste the doc ?

MS 7 and long time user of Firefox so this is the recent upgrade of May 11. Unlike the prior bookmark functionality, I cannot indicate I want to bookmark a link and designate a new folder for a new topic in two to three clicks. This is critical to what I do for a living. How can I return the prior format and be sure bookmarks are backed up automatically. Does going back to the older and more functional tool bar restore this? And why does clicking the bookmarks toolbar show getting started, most visited and the printer icon? Getting started takes one to a new user set of instructions. But there are no functional operations in the tool bar? I am not going to go thru a lot of commands, this should be a automatic as before.
'' the bookmark facility is not functional in 29 ... Bookmark puts all bookmarks there into "recently bookmarked" ''
It does not.
It works much the same as the old system does. Or at least it should do and does do for me.
* Carefully reads the following article so you are certain what should be happening '''[[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites ]]'''
# From an unbookmarked page click the bookmarks star.
#* That results in the bookmark being added, and yes initially it is just as an unsorted bookmark. (No doubt that is where most people put most bookmarks)
# IMPORTANT click the star a second time. (But not so rapidly it counts as a doubleclick)
#* You now have the options you had in the old version of Firefox <br /> Create new folders <br /> Save to a recently used folder <br /> Show all bookmark folders - and expand nested folders
If your bookmarks are not working possibly the file is corrupted in which case see
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox#Damaged_Places_database
I am hoping it is just that you are doubleclicking the star too quickly. -
Hello,
I have a problem with my MacBook pro 13,3 inch A1278 I7 2.8 GHz Late 2011.
I bought it at the end of 2011 and the Backlight Chip and Microphone are both unfunctionel (dead)...
This laptop doesn't even have three years old...
How is possible for a computer which cost almost 1500 €...
May I ask you, if it's normal ?
Do I need to change the Logic board, which is going to cost me almost 900€ or Is Apple going to help me out.
Thank you for your attention,

Kid locked ipod. New CP at home. Unable to sync to itunes. how do i unlock?????
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to start a bootcamp installation of Windows 7 though an external monitor using HDMI. Is there anyway to have the installation screen show up on the external monitor? I get stuck at the beginning of the installation due to not being able to use my laptop's primary screen.
Thanks for the help!Kapil Choubisa wrote:

Unless you have a 2010 Mini Server model, your Mini has a built-in Optical drive (Mac mini (Mid 2010) - Technical Specifications).
Can you read the Windows Installer media when booted on OSX? Your DVD media may be corrupt.
If your Optical Drive is functional AND the Windows DVD is readable in OSX Finder, then your installer should work. You will need a USB2 for BC drivers as well. -
I got it all synced byt just connecting to my computer instead.
Quit iTunes.
Delete /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
Restart iTunes and see if the *Show at startup box* is at the lower left of the tutorial window.
If so, uncheck it. -
basically... I had an ipod touch sync'd to my dads i tunes.. i then got an iphone and created my own apple id.. how could i transfer the media from my ipod which was used on a different apple id onto my own account without everything deleting
Syncing an iDevice to a computer does not remove content from the computer.
Syncing an iDevice to a computer that it does not normally sync with will remove the content from that device.
If the media was acquired with a different Apple ID it is in no way linked to your Apple ID. -
I plugged my iPod into the computer and it says that my iPod is synced with another iTunes library, but it's not. So all my music and apps are gone. What can I do to remind the computer its the right iTunes library and get all my stuff back?
Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one. Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

Can I erase the boot camp partition and dual boot snow leopard and mountain lion instead
Please don't double post. Look at your other thread.
If you want to get rid of Windows and the BC partition use the Boot Camp assistant program to remove the Win/BC partition. Don't do it manually with Disk Utility Use the BC A program. -

I use find my iphone but by mistake I locked it so how can I unlock the phone.
If it has been Disabled after entering the wrong passcode - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
Unfortunately, you must restore it in iTunes on your computer. There is no way to retrieve a forgotten pass lock code.
You will need to Restore your device from the same computer that you most recently synced to. See - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
