My iMac keyboard not responding in Bootcamp Windows 8 with drivers installed

Hi,
I'm using late-2012 27.1 inches iMac and using Apple Wireless Keyboard, I've installed Windows 8 on bootcamp for a long time now, all drivers are working fine, keyboard is also working perfectly. Then one day, I decided to install a new controller driver from a software called DS3 Tool and when I installed the controller driver, the keyboard switches off and not functioning, I went over to the Driver Manager and it says my keyboard is offline, I checked the battery and it is full, i tried restarting, still not functioning, so I tried switch to Mac OSX, the keyboard works flawlessly but in the Bootcamp Windows, it does not. So can anyone help me fix this
Thank you

Please download BC drivers appropriate for your model from Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions - Apple Support and Boot Camp: Install or repair Boot Camp drivers.

ExpressCard/34 not working in BootCamp Windows 7 64-bit. Apple's BIOS emulation does not give enough resources.

MacBook Pro unibody, 15" 2009
ExpressCard/34 (Card is by Transcend TS-RDF1, JMicron chip for SD card) is not working in BootCamp Windows 7 64-bit. Windows reports:
"This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system."
Other data points: Card works fine in Mac OSX, worked under Windows XP 32-bit (initially reported same problem, but works after reboot).
Checking the forums there seems to be no actual device suggested to actually remove that would help the problem. And even if it was, the concept is ridiculous. What other device would you like to remove? Display adapter? Network adapter? No way. I use all available devices and don't want to compromise.
It seems like BIOS emulation does not allocate enough resources to ExpressCard.
Are others having the same problem?
Does anyone have a fix for this?
Is there anyone at Apple who cares to provide a solution?

It is not a driver problem, but a problem in the BIOS emulated by bootcamp on some (not all) MBP models. So unless Apple fixes it in bootcamp, there is no real solution. And obviously, Apple doesn't care. They are dropping the Expresscard slot anyway.
Unfortunately, this poster seems right: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=912259 :
The 2008/2009 Macbook Pros don't allow to use the ExpressCard slot because of EFI/Bootcamp errors (Windows Vista/7 cannot allocate an IRQ to the slot). You don't need any drivers for using an ExpressCard slot on Windows, you only need the drivers for the corresponding card you are using.
Bootcamped XP allowed to use the slot, but you could not use hot-plugging.
And from the Sonnet site ( http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_sata_express34.html ) :
Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 not supported under Windows 7 or Windows Vista when running on unibody MacBook Pro computers. The problem is caused by the MacBook Pro's BIOS emulation, which doesn't allocate enough resources to support certain kinds of Expresscard/34 devices, such as a SATA controller, in these operating systems.

Updated iphone 5 to iOS 6.1.3, now trouble with keyboard not responding correctly and screen zooming in by itself...

updated iphone 5 to iOS 6.1.3, now I am having trouble with keyboard not responding correctly and screen zooming in by itself...
Buttons pressing themself...
Also, my main screen is permanently zoomed in...
suggestions?

Double tap the screen with THREE fingers, that should get it back to normal again.
Then go into Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom > OFF.
Not too sure about the keyboard and random button presses though. Back it up and restore from iTunes, see if that fixes it.

Hello:
Go to system preferences>Bluetooth. Highlight the device. If the sidebar to the right does not show detailed information, click on the little gear and select "show more info." Then click on the gear again and select "favorite."

After "sleep" keyboard not responding, mouse is working ok (mouse is wireless, k/board is not)

after "sleep" keyboard not responding, mouse is working ok (mouse is wireless, k/board is not)

Probably a defective keyboard. I had that problem a few months after I got my Mac Pro. Apple replaced the keyboard and it has worked fine ever since.

On shut down I always get the message Program Not Responding. This happened before I installed Firefox. It does not pose a problem, that I know of but it does concern me.

Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

I have the latest operating system, but can't get my printers added. Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

It's pretty difficult to offer suggestions when you say nothing about your Mac, the version of Mac OS it's running, or the models of printers you have. This forum, however, is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, so unless you are asking about an very old Mac, this is not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I'd suggest you ask this question in the forum for your model of Mac or version of Mac OS X it's running. You'll be more likely to get assistance there, assuming you provide sufficient detail for anyone to make a diagnosis of the problem.

Keyboard not responding while installing Windows XP sevice pack 2

Hi,
I am new to macworld, Just got Macbook and try to use bootcamp to install windows xp, but keyboard did not respond hence got stuck at this point. Please help me. how to make keyboard working while installing windows xp using bootcamp. I know that for non-portable Mac USB mouse and keyboard can be used but whats need to be done for portable Mac like Macbook

I have been scouring the internet on my limited dial-up connection trying to find someone who had a definitive solution to this problem which I too have been stuck with.
What finally resolved this keyboard problem during that critical stage in the win xp setup was by:
1. Going to System Preferences>Keyboard and Mouse and check-marking "USE ALL F1, F2 ETC. KEYS AS STANDARD FUNCTION KEYS (when this option is selected, press the Fn key to use the special features printed on each key)" Before starting up Boot Camp,
2. and Unplugging the Mighty Mouse from the keyboard while my mac was rebooting.
Switching out the apple keyboard for a standard USB keyboard did not work (perhaps in hindsight, i should have plugged it in first before boot camp rebooted and tried to install win xp;)
Attempting time after time again did not solve the issue;
Neither did doing all the software updates, firmware updates and such while borrowing an ethernet cable connection from my local library;
I did not need to find another Win XP with SP2 nor did I need to find a USB keyboard;
Not even updating my Mac OS X from 10.5.2 to 10.5.5 or installing the new firmwares for the Apple aluminium keyboard was necessary it seems.
Just a simple checkmark to make the apple keyboard's F-keys primary and unplugging the Mouse from the keyboard before the WinXP install kicked in, allowed me to press Enter to proceed with the installation.
I also turned off the special functions of the mighty mouse like the center click and roll ball, but I felt obligated to post the solution to this problem - Do as you would be done by.
Hope this helps others who encounter this same problem, please confirm if I am correct. Good luck.

Keyboard not responding at startup on iMac.

I'm currently using an Apple aluminum keyboard (with numeric keypad) and when ever I boot my iMac on this keyboard, I am completely unable to select my boot volume which makes it impossible to start up Bootcamp in my windows partition. I do most of my gaming on Windows as well as other leisurely activities but ever since I brought my iMac to the Apple store in march, I have been unable to select windows from startup making me have to go onto OSX and select it via the control panel. A genius at the apple store successfully selected my OSX from a different keyboard meaning that it's not the computer but the keyboard itself.
How can I get my keyboard to work at startup without having to buy a new one?
Help in this situation would be wonderful

If it works with another keyboard, it is obviously a problem with your keyboard, as you said yourself. If the iMac is still under the one-year warranty or AppleCare, you should be able to get a new one, assuming there is no sign of an accident, like liquid being spilled on it.
A few things to confirm... The keyboard should be connected directly to the computer, not to a USB hub. Try it on a different port, if you have not already.
Do the basic trouble-shooting procedures: run +Repair Disk Permissions+ in Disk Utility and reset PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
But if your computer worked fine at the Apple Store, those last two trouble-shooting actions probably will not help, since it worked when another keyboard was used.

Keyboard number pad not recognized through bootcamp windows 7

Running windows 7 through bootcamp, the number pad on my keyboard does not respond.

I had the same thing as you (that my BT mouse & keyboard were working but then after a while they started to act up -mouse freezing on&off, keys sticking-).
In my case the 'before' and 'after' was actually running the setup on the Bootcamp Utility disk that contains all the Bootcamp drivers. There must be a rogue driver on there that messed up my system. I ended up doing a reinstall and only installing the bluetooth drivers (that are also on the same Utlity disk, but in the $WinPEDriver$ folder. This at least worked for me.
However, by doing so I did not get the handy Bootcamp utility in the lower left corner of Windows that allows me to conveniently reboot and switch from Win8 to MacOS. I am trying to figure out if I can install that utility separately without all the drivers being automatically installed as well

Windows 7 install and keyboard not responding.

I'm trying to install thru Boot Camp, Windows 7. It appears my keyboard is not being recognized by Windows. I have plugged the USB into all 3 spots with no success. This is a "Vintage" iMAC running Maverick. Any help would be appreciated!

I have seen a few others now with this problem, but no real solutions.
I contacted apple care, and after running me through the same fixes I had already tried, they suggested that I contact Microsoft. I guess that the thought is that it's an issue with the Windows 7 install program not recognizing the BlueTooth. This doesn't make any sense to me, but I might as well try it.
I will update if I ever discover a solution. Please let me know if you are able to resolve the problem.
Thanks

My USB Apple Aluminum Keyboard is not responding during Bootcamp Install!

I am going crazy, I have had the worst experience with this Bootcamp install which is supposed to be so easy, resulting in Apple replacing my MAC pro, and I still can't get it to work on the new machine.
My first problem was using a Windows XP Pro disk, which resulted in my continually getting a black screen saying "no bootable device, press any key to restart." I ran into this problem because I overlooked the instructions to use a USB keyboard and mouse, I was using the wireless. This process resulted in Apple replaceing my MAC Pro because some how my start-up files dissappered and the MAC geniuses couldn't even reformat my drive.
After recieving the new MAC Pro, I tried to run the Boot Camp install, using the same Windows XP Pro Disk, but now with a wired USB Apple Aluminum Keyboard and USB might mouse. I was still running into the same problem, after windows finished the Install and restarted a black screen would appear "no bootable device..." After searching many forums I found that for some reason Windows XP Professional disk skip the step where you would format the drive you partioned for Windows. I found in a forum a way to address this problem by going in DOS and entering commands to tell Windows to format the drive. I was not comfortable doing this, so I thought I would take an easyier route and get a Windows XP Home edition.
All windows versions I used were OEM, but they were all full installs (fancy hologram CD) w/Service Pack to and certificates of authenticity**
I thought great now everything should go smoothly, I have Windows XP Home Edition w/SP2, I have a USB wired apple aluminum keyboard, and I have a USB wired might mouse. This has not been the case.
After I complete the Bootcamp process on my Leopard operating system and Windows XP completes loading all the file prior to begin the Install, the Windows XP Installation asks to press "Enter" to begin Install. This is the point now I can't get past, because I get no response from my keyboard. I tried every USB port on my CPU and still no response when I reach this step in the Windows Installation. I am becoming very disgruntle with Apple because the AppleCare, which I pay for, and the MAC genius will not help me with this problem because it is during the Windows Install. Please help before I flip out.

That worked after using a generic DELL PC keyboard no extra keys. Apple hustled me into buying a wired keyboard, because I had only ordered the wireless keyboard.
Thanks

Successful Windows 8 Boot Camp setup, keyboard not responding...

I successfuly managed to boot camp windows 8 pro (via the windows 7 upgrade route).. I rebooted the system at least a few times without experiencing any issues with the Keyboard.. yet now I can't do anything... I had windows setup eactly how I needed it after a few hours.. I have seen responses to try boot camping again in the hope by luck it will fix itself... But the problem I have is in order to activate Windows I had to spend over an hour on the phone with MS which I really don't want to have to go through again... It took about 3 - 4 hours to get it to where I had it and it would be an absolute pain in the a ss to have to go through it again.....

Good day, I have installed Windows 8 successfully on my Macbook, [OS X Mountain Lion] using Boot Camp assistant. When I got to the step to install the Boot Camp Support software with the CD I created during installation through bootcamp, a pop up message appeared: "This version of Boot Camp is not intended for this computer model." I am stuck in Windows at the moment, there is no way to restart in Mac OS X now, I have tried the hold down the option key while restarting too, it doesn't work.
1. how can I get to restart in Mac again?
Reboot, hold the X key when you hear the chime, hold it until the computer starts to boot in OSX
2. where can I download the correct Boot Camp support software for this computer for Windows 8? [macbook pro with retina display; OS X Mountain Lion]
Windows 8 is not yet supported, there are no drivers, wait for them or use Windows 7.
