Adding missing keyfunctions wireless keyboard

I bought a wireless keyboard and much to my surprise some functions ( keys ) seem to missing.
FYI my keyboard has the azerty lay out.
Missing keys are,as far as i found out yet: square brackets (for loading previous and next pages in safari eg)
the spanish tinde and one of which I don't know the name,looks like a capital i (displayed) and often used with grep in commandline,a vertical stripe so to say.
Is there anyway I can assign these functions to other keys?
I really want to use the keyboard as much as possible....
Regards,
daxer.
iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

Okay now I feel stupid.
It appears these functions are assigned to keys but there is no mention at the keys itself,eg key 5 als has ( as it says but pressing alt+5 gives { and alt+shift + 5 [ these last two arent marked on the keys surface though.
I got the reply from another board and thought I would post it here just in case anyone else has the same question/issue.
Never even considered of pressing alt+ shift+key only alt or shift…
Now it's just a matter of remebering which codes are on which keys…
Kind regards,
daxer.

    in the middle panel that has delete with a right pointing arrow with an 'x' inside of the arrow.
    this 2nd delete button has functionality in various programs. the imac comes with a smaller

  • Ever since I used an apple wireless keyboard, the onscreen keyboard will not appear

    I have been using the iPad for several years. Recently I added the apple wireless keyboard. Ever since, when I do not have the apple wireless keyboard the onscreen keyboard refuses to appear. Makes entering text difficult! Wuld be happy to learn of a solution. Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Did you turn off Bluetooth after turning off the Apple Wireless Keyboard? Open Settings > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off.
    Another thing you can do is, before turning off the keyboard, select a text box on the iPad (for example, when you type an email or you type on a Safari webpage) and press Eject key on the keyboard, so the virtual keyboard will show

  • Apple wireless keyboard misses first letter in some words

    When I am typing, particularly in Word 2011, with my Apple Wireless Keyboard, it frequently does not type the first letter of a word.  I have searched and can find no resolution to this problem.  I have messed with Accessibility but that is all turned off.  The only other bluetooth device is my mouse.

    Hi,
    Thanks for this. It isn't the computer though, as it will happen very quickly. For example I can type in a web address, then look up to read the web page for 20 seconds or so, then if I type again it will miss the first key stroke.
    I am starting to get used to typing the first letter twice!
    I can see that it is a widely reported issue with Apple Macs, but I can't find a fix for Windows. I am keen not to have to buy a new keyboard!

  • My MacBook pro stopped connecting to my apple wireless keyboard a while ago.  Since it won't connect to a second one, I suspect it's a computer issue.   Software thoughts?  Updates I've missed?  Thanks

    About a year ago, my computer and my keyboard stopped connecting.  I attributed it to a failed keyboard.  Didn't use it much.
    Tried today with a second apple wireless keyboard, and it won't connect via blue tooth, either.
    Could this be a software/firmware issue that it well known?  Or the bluetooth card on my computer is dead?
    Thoughts?

    And, I get a message saying that the "device does not have the required services."
    Thanks again.

  • Wireless Keyboard & Missing framework?

    I'm trying to use Apple's Wireless Mouse & Keyboard Updater to update the firmware and hopefully fix my connectivity issues. However...
    The updater won't run, so I tried it with the terminal and got the following output:

    What is this framework? Should I have it? Where can I get it?
    I Just finished erasing and re-installing MacOS (from 10.3 to 10.4) last weekend, so the OS should be a totally clean install.

    My Wireless Keyboard has never been as reliable as one might expect, and since 10.4.6 or so, it has become a dust collector.
    I have the firmware update installed, but the latest KBmouse updater refuses to be installed on my G4 Cube. "Cannot be installed on this computer."
    when I scan for the keyboard, I get "device does not have necessary services."
    Any thoughts.............? Thanks

  • Mighty Mouse and Wireless Keyboard Bluetooth problems... MISSING BLUETOOTH

    Recently I have been using my wireless keyboard and mouse A LOT! and then a few days ago my BlueTooth option on my menu bar disappeared and I cannot find anything related to BlueTooth besides file exchange... Can anyone help with this issue?
    NOTE: I have also tried downloading the BlueTooth Firmware update 2.1 from apple and it says that I don't need it... Also, I used both of them a lot, and then it just disappeared, I didn't change a thing...

    Hope if no one minds me piggybacking this issue. I've got the same problem but on my new 1 month old iMac 27". Apple has already replaced the bluetooth module and cable and problem has reoccurred.
    I've tried trashing my com.apple.bluetooth.plist, shutting it down (disconnecting power chord), leaving it for over 15 mins and powering back on. But MacOSX does -not- regenerate the com.apple.bluetooth.plist file! I've not tried the PRAM reset yet and will probably try that tonight.
    Meanwhile, does anyone have any idea why this happens? Also how do I regenerate the com.apple.bluetooth.plist file?
    Thanks!

  • I'm missing a HOME key on a new bluetooth wireless keyboard.

    Does anyone know where to find the HOME key on the new smaller bluetooth wireless keyboard? I spilled coffee on my full keyboard and can't bring it back to life. I need the HOME key for a music online service. It returns the playhead on trascription to start.

    You should be able to see the number in your system files/foldes by navigating to:
    Mac:

  • ICloud does not synchronize Notes.app with Apple Wireless Keyboard in use

    I own an Apple Wireless Keyboard and an iPhone 4 with the newest software, iOS5.1
    When using the build-in Notes application by Apple and the original Apple Wireless Keyboard, synchronizing fails. I guess this is because Notes.app never triggers the "synchronize event", like it does when using the on-screen-keyboard. The trigger "done" is just missing. This error might also happen in other (build-in) apps, I've just seen it with the Notes.app
    Could you please tell me if you already know this issue and are working on it? I told Apple Support about it for iOS version 5.0 and nothing changed since then. Please advise.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone'  or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

  • Mapping problem with Wireless Keyboard and Japanese iPhone

    Hi everyone:
    This seems to be a slightly obscure question -- at least, I can't find a ready answer for it with the search terms I've tried, possibly because most people don't use this particular accessory with the iPhone.
    I have an iPhone 4 that I bought from and use on Softbank, the carrier in Japan, where I live.  While visiting the United States recently, I bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard from an Apple retailer.   I wanted to carry it with me for use with my iPhone, so I would reliably have a convenient way to access the Internet without being confined to the touchscreen keyboard.  (I live in a rural area where WiFi spots are uncommon, but my iPhone's access to Softbank's data network is fairly good and consistent.)
    However, to my frustration, I can't use the keyboard due to a mapping problem.  The Bluetooth connection is fine -- the iPhone can discover the keyboard.  However, the mapping is off: typing "Q" gets me "A," typing "Z" gets me "W", numbers and punctuation are off, etc.  The key point: This is NOT a problem with the International Keyboard settings (under the Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> International Keyboards menu).  I have the Keyboard setting set to QWERTY, which is the layout of the Apple keyboard; I have tried all the other possibilities, just in case.  None of them work.  Setting the Keyboard setting to QWERTY does not make the external QWERTY keyboard map correctly.
    The rather ironic addendum is this: While on a recent trip to Tokyo, I visited the Apple store in Shibuya and, after concluding the main business of my visit (discussing my MacBook's battery problems with an English-speaking staffer), I took out my iPhone and keyboard and asked him about my mapping problem.  He started with the Keyboard menu, tried the same things I had tried, realized they weren't working, and puzzled over the problem for a while.  Then he did this: He hit a key combination (I believe) that brought up a menu on the iPhone's screen.  "Ah, there's your problem," he said, and selected a new setting.  The problem was instantly fixed.
    To my chagrin, however, I neglected to write down what "Ken" had done to fix the problem.  Argh... I was looking at the iPhone upside-down; I'd already taken up more than half an hour; people were waiting, and I guess, being used to living in the countryside now, that I'm not used to Shibuya crowds any more.  Anyway, I didn't take careful notes or ask him to walk me through it, and now I cannot recall or repeat what he did.  And I still can't use my keyboard!
    Any ideas or advice, anyone?  How did "Ken" fix my problem, and how can I repeat it?  Much, much appreciated, in advance.

    THAT'S IT.  Sir, you have solved my problem.  Thank you!!
    And I feel a little silly; this will doubtless seem to an expert as if it should have been obvious all along.  But isn't that always the way in hindsight?
    Here's what happened: The key combination I was trying to remember was "Apple/command + space on the hardware keyboard," as you just said above.  The "menu" it brings up is, apparently, a list of keyboards.  I take it that this list is the same as the list of the "virtual" keyboards on the iPhone?  I have never had more than one external keyboard -- the Apple Wireless -- but I do have several keyboards active virtually, as the iPhone in Japan seems to come with both the "Nihongo Ten-key" and the "Nihongo Romaji" keyboards active, and I added several other languages as well.
    When I hit "Apple/command + space," this list comes up on the iPhone's touchscreen.  Highlighted and checked at the top is "English," just as if it had been selected all along.  But nonetheless, when I first turn on and pair my keyboard with the iPhone, I need to perform this key-combination action, as if to "reselect" English, and then the keyboard promptly starts working properly as QWERTY.  I can only assume that one of the others had been default-selected before -- presumably one of the Nihongo ones? -- and that this was causing the interference.
    Thank you again!  You have made me and my wireless keyboard very happy.

  • My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?

    Q.: My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?
    A.: If your wireless keyboard and mouse do not work even after changing the batteries, please try re-syncing them by following these steps.
    1. Make sure the computer is on, plug in the USB receiver. Push the button on the USB receiver until it flashes blue.
    2. While the receiver is still flashing, press the red connect button on the keyboard (Make sure the batteries are installed). The USB receiver should stop flashing after pressing the button on the keyboard. It may take up to 8 seconds to sync.
    3. Repeat the same process for the mouse. Push the button on the USB receiver, then press the connect button on the mouse (Make sure the mouse is on).
    Note: This applies to all MSI All-In-One computers that include the ES500W wireless keyboard and SW130 mouse.

    "This machine has an added 4 USB ports, could this be causing a problem?
    It definitely could be the source of the problem. Perhaps the PCI card was bumped loose during shipping?
    Have you tried removing the card? That's where I would start.
    Keep us posted.

    I am using Photoshop CS5 on a new iMac with a wireless keyboard.  I used to be able to hit F11 to perform a custom sharpening action but now the F11 key is the volume control key and I have tried everything to disable or switch the volume key. I have also tried assigning other function keys to initiate the action. Is there a simple solution to this? What am I missing?

    Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard with Windows 7 on non Apple Hardware

    Good Day,
    I love the Apple Wireless Keyboard and it's the on I use when using my Thinkpad laptop as a desktop, meaning connected to an external Monitor and with an external keyboard and mouse. The Keyboard I use is an Apple Wireless Keyboard.
    On my MBA 13 I use Windows 7 as my OS and the Apple lyouted keyboard works actually quite well with windows: The function keys perform very much like in Mac OSX with the volume, screen brightness, the fn+left or right for "home" or "end" etc.
    Not I bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard to use in conjuction with my Thinkpad but all does features are missing. I guess that this has to to that on the MBA 13 the appropriate drivers where installed when the whole Bootcamp Software package was installed.
    Since I obviously cant install the whole Bootcamp CD on non Apple Hardware, is there any way to just download somewhere the drivers for Apple KEyboards so the behave the same way as they would on a Mac running Windows?
    Or is there any other way I could use my Apple Wireless Keyboard with non Apple Hardware the same way it behaves on my MBA 13 running Windows 7? Can somwhere lolely the Apple Keyboard drivers be downloaded?
    I want to thank anyone who is kind enough to help mme with this mather in advance and please leave out comments of the kind that I it's my fault, I should have bought an Apple machine from the beginning. I have my reasons and If anyone can't handle that I kindly ask you to just ignore this post unless it's constructive and helpful contribution

    After 3 frustrating hours of trying every tip on the net, I found the answer: Try this.
    "This finally fixed it for me: Device Manager - Open System Devices, you will find a Bluetooth HID Device. Double Click it, open Driver tab and click "Update Driver" Select Browse my Computer, then "Let me Pick". It should now show TWO compatible drivers with exactly the same name. One of them is the Microsoft one, one is the non-working Chinese ****. Install one of them and see if the driver properties changed to the right (Microsoft) driver. If not, try again with the other one. For me, the Microsoft driver was the first one in the list, but this may be different for you. Wow, an annoying and intense hour of trouble shooting finally over..."

    The issue is related to the Chinese version of the driver that the latest windows update applies that stops the keyboard from working.

  • Running Boot Camp in Windows 7 with Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Magic Mouse

    NOTE: I was installing a fresh copy of Windows 7 Professional on a 27" iMac mid-2010 with a Processor Speed of 2.93 GHz, a Core i7 Processor Type,  a Quad Core Processor Configuration, 8GB RAM, and a ATI Radeon HD 5750 Graphics Card.  I run Snow Leopard so it is a 64-bit OS.  I have a Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Magic Mouse as well.  In order to install Windows 7 you need a Wired Keyboard and Mouse.  You will also need a Wired Keyboard and Wired Mouse to update Boot Camp.
    Updating Boot Camp Assistant (VERY IMPORTANT)
    First, plug in a wired keyboard and wired mouse.  The Boot Camp Assistant version that came with my iMac was 3.0 so I upgraded it to 3.1 and then to 3.2.  I'm not sure if only the upgrade to 3.1 is necessary, but I took it a step further.  I was told by Apple Tech Support that you first needed to upgrade to version 3.1 before being able to upgrade to 3.2  These upgrades will not be found using Software Update on the Mac.  However, they can be found at http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents
    They also have software updates for 32-bit machines as well and MacBook Pro updates.
    NOTE: Before updating the version of Boot Camp, but after installing Windows 7 and after putting in the Mac OS X Install DVD to run Setup.exe to download the Mac drivers, run Software Update for the Mac while logged into Windows 7 by clicking on Start - All Programs - Software Update for any additional updates.
    Next I installed Boot Camp Software Update 3.1 for Windows 64 bit found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1336
    I then ran Software Update for the Mac while logged into Windows 7 by clicking on Start - All Programs - Software Update
    Then I installed Boot Camp Software Update 3.2 for Windows 64 bit found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL979
    I then installed Boot Camp 3.2 Update for iMac (early 2011) found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL979 but I'm not sure if this was necessary.
    Once Boot Camp 3.2 has been installed I ran Software Update for the Mac again while logged into WIndows 7 to make sure I had all the updates.
    Configuring a Bluetooth device on a Windows-based computer
    (from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952818)
    How to make sure that the Bluetooth service is started (MY COMPUTER WAS ALREADY SET UP TO RUN BLUETOOTH, SO THE NEXT 8 STEPS COULD BE OPTIONAL)
    Open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in for Services. To do this, follow these steps.
    Windows Vista or Windows 7Windows XP
    Click Start, and then click Run.
    Copy and then paste (or type) the following command in the Open box, and then press ENTER:services.msc
    Click Start , copy and then paste (or type) the following command in the Start Searchbox, and then press ENTER:services.msc
    In the Programs list, click Services.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
    Double-click the Bluetooth Support service.
    If the Bluetooth Support service is stopped, click Start.
    On the Startup type list, click Automatic.
    Click the Log On tab.
    Click Local System account.
    Click OK.
    If you prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
    How to connect the Bluetooth device to the computer
    1. First off, you need to go into Mac OS and remove the keyboard and mouse from your Bluetooth settings entirely. You'll add them back in later (see 9) below).
    2. Boot into Windows using a USB connected Mouse and Keyboard.
    3. Go to Control Panel – Hardware and Sound – Device and Printers – Add a Device
    4. Turn on the Mouse to send out a signal and once it sees it select it to be paired to the computer
    5. Run 3.) again except select the keyboard.
    6. Turn on the Keyboard to send out a signal and once it sees it select it to be paired to the computer by typing in the 8 digit number into the wireless keyboard and hit ENTER/RETURN.
    7. To see if everything was added go to Devices and Printers and see if they were added to the list.
    8. Shutdown Windows 7 and Restart using Mac OSX.  If you adjusted the Boot Camp settings while in Windows 7 you will see a Boot Camp icon in the system tray located at the bottom right of the screen.  From here you can logoff and reboot in Mac OSX.  If you don't, do a RESTART and hold the Option key down after hearing the GONG and select the Mac HD option while logging in.  Now it's time to add back the wireless mouse and keyboard to be recognized by your Mac.
    9. Go to System Preferences – Internet and Wireless – Bluetooth
    10. Hit the “+” button to launch the Bluetooth Setup Assistant to find the devices sending out the signal.
    11. Highlight the device found and hit “Continue”
    12. Do this for both the keyboard and mouse.  You will be prompted to type in the 8 digit code into the wireless keyboard in order to pair it with your computer.
    13. Click on the pinwheel next to the “-“ sign to rename the wireless devices if you'd like.
    I then logged back into Windows 7 to see if the mouse and keyboard were functional and had no problems.  For some reason, Windows has problems pairing bluetooth devices that are already paired under a Mac OSX.  Many people have updated Boot Camp, yet still were not able to pair their wireless devices because they didn't break the Bluetooth connection on the Mac side first. So both steps are necessary (1) Updating to at least Boot Camp 3.1 if not 3.2 and (2) Deleting the Wireless mouse and keyboard link while running Mac OSX before trying to pair them in a Windows OS.

    I found the answers by trial and errors.
    @  is obtained by CTRL + OPT + 2
    #   is obtained by CTRL + OPT + 3
    (without shift or caps lock)
    These two signs are critical and I fail to understand why this information is not readily available from the help function or from the Apple support.

  • Unable to pair Apple Wireless Keyboard in OS X 10.5.8

    Hello everyone,
    This is my first post here so if I mess it up, pls don't dog me too much...
    I'm currently running OS X Tiger on a Dual PowerMac G5 2GHz with 3GB of RAM and all is well with the world. However, in an attempt to upgrade and become familar (more so) with OS X10.5 I've found that I am unable to pair with my wireless keyboard. I'm running 10.5 on a seperate drive. It sees the dongle, just won't pair with it. The Bluetooth dongle I'm using works fine in OS X 10.4.11, has for years. Any clues, is there something I'm missing?
    I've read about Bluetooth issues with Leopard so I thought I would see if i could find an answer here. The keyboard is the original Apple wireless keyboard that came out a few years ago, Model M9270LL/A.

    I don't think you're following me very well Mr Williams. I appreciate your attempt to assist and hopefully I won't come across as an **** here but, you're not helping. I will agree you, it seems to be a software issue...and it's called Leopard!
    Let me explain something. I have not migrated this system, as per se, and for obvious reasons. The system has 2 HDD's. One has 10.4.11 on it and the other HDD has 10.5.8 installed. I can go from one to the other and it's the way I will continue to work until this problem has been resoved, if ever. I can NOT be productive without the Mac running, regardless of which OS. I'm attempting this because I have apps that must have Leopard, so I'm trying to make it work.
    Just to be clear, I gave-up running OS X 10.3 several years ago but did not do so without kicking and screaming the entire way. Now, I'm comfortable with Tiger and I'm very glad I upgraded, as it's a much more stable OS but at this rate I'm about ready to give-up. I don't need Leopard and I don't want it, nor do I like the look and feel of it, I just wanted to try and attempt to upgrade and see if I could run some newer apps that won't run on Tiger. I will probably NEVER upgrade to an Intel Mac, even if I could afford to do so. And I will NEVER run Micro$oft Windoze on a Macintosh...period - EVER! That to me is just sacrilege...so just call me a purist, I care not. If I want to run that OS I'll do it on a PeeCee.
    Back to the dicussion.
    I'm typing this reply on the PowerMac running 10.4.11 using the keyboard in question and my Bluetooth dongle. And YES, the keyboard is the older, white keyboard. Did I not share the model # in the original post, Apple Keyboard model M9270LL/A ? Did you not Google that if you're not familiar with these Model numbers?
    You said, "...Another thought: did you "unpair" the keyboard from the old system before trying to pair it with the new one?..." What exactly does that mean? That's makes no sense at all. "Can you "see" the keyboard in the bluetooth setup window when trying to set it up or not?" What does my original post say?? YES, I can see the keyboard in OS X 10.5.8, I just can not pair with it.
    As a last resort I have installed the Apple Aluminum Keyboard Update, as per your suggestion, even though I don't have an aluminium keyboard and this 'update' installed successfully but my keyboard, although seen will still not pair with the dongle. I will NOT go buy a Al Keyboard just to test this issue. The only thing I've thought about purchasing is the Bluetooth module so that I don't need to use a dongle, but those are expensive and often hard to find. I have also removed the prefs file from /user/Library with no effect.
    I almost forgot. I also have another BT dingle from Kensington and although the system sees it as does the other, it does not pair with the keyboard either. That dongle works fine on my PeeCee laptop without any problems, so both dongles are functioning correctly. Do you have any other suggestions you would like to share?
    Thank you for your time.
