Apple Keyboard and Win 8: Cannot type numbers ! Looking for driver or workaround.

I have just upgraded to Windows 8 on one of my Mac Minis. Alas, the Apple keyboard cannot be used to enter numbers in Windows 8 ! Is there a new driver out there that fixes this ? I have been unable to find one but I may have conducted a faulty search.

You may have to wait for the "official" Boot Camp drivers to be released since it's not oficially supported by Mac yet.

  • Brand new Macbook Pro not pairing with Apple Keyboard and mouse!

    Hi all, I have a brand new Macbook Pro and an older wireless Apple Keyboard and Mouse (that were being previously used with my imac G5).
    Now I want to use these for this macbook. I am finding that they are being recognised but not pairing up?
    Do you need to stop the previous pairing with the imac before they will pair with the Macbook?
    Or do I need to update specific software? (I would have thought it has all the necessary updates already installed).
    I am running Snow leopard.
    I have brand new batteries in the keyboard and mouse.
    I really appreciate any helpful advice. Sorry if the answer is obvious!
    Thanks

    Hi there, i had a problem pairing an Apple wireless keyboard with my MacBook pro but managed to solve it.
    The default passkey option in Bluetooth setup assistant is 'automatic' which will (if the MacBook can 'see' the keyboard in the first instance) then say something like 'your device may prompt you to enter the following passcode 1234 5678'
    Obviously the keyboard doesn't provide any feedback - I went ahead and typed the number and hit the return key a number of times - the MacBook then displayed a 'pairing failed - you may have entered the incorrect passkey' message.
    What i was doing wrong was keying only numbers - when i keyed 1234[SPACE]5678 + RETURN pairing worked.
    I had thought the 'gap' in the passcode was to make it easier to read, not that it implied a space in the passcode.
    Hope that helps.

  • My apple keyboard had some problems, the store replaced it for me. I had to sign in to my computer, and couldn't get to pair the keyboard with the computer, as could not sign in. I know there is a command that lets you override this, does anyone know whic

    My apple keyboard had some problems, the store replaced it for me. I had to sign in to my computer, and couldn't get to pair the keyboard with the computer, as could not sign in. I know there is a command that lets you override this, does anyone know which buttons to  press.  I gather when you do this, a box comes up and pairs the two with a number you have to type in.

  • I have a macmini on order, I wonder if I can pair the wireless apple keyboard and magic touchpad without using any other input devices, especially, since everything is brand new and not yet paired.

    You may just want to save yourself any possible issues
    by just hooking up a wired keyboard and mouse on first
    start up.  Any USB keyboard and mouse should work.
    There have been many that have had problems on first boot
    using the Bluetooth devices. 

  • Found English Keyboard and English Apple Keyboard And How to remove apple keyboard language

    I have found 2 english language keyboard It occur in Windows 8 pro
    one is united stated(Apple)keyboard
    and one is US Keyboard
    Sometime it show up when i change the language
    question 1:What is difference between US(Apple)Keyboard and US Keyboard
    question 2:How to remove US(Apple)Keyboard?
    question 3:Does it have affect when i remove US(apple)Keyboard?
    question 4:How it appear on iMac windows 8?

    If you are using a keyboard made by Apple, then you should normally choose US(Apple) keyboard to make sure that all the characters are typed the way they appear on the keys.  If for some reason you are using a Windows keyboard, then you should normally use US instead of US(Apple).
    The two versions exist because there can be differences between Apple and other keyboards.
    It is not a good idea to "remove" anything.  For info on how to deactivate a keyboard in a Windows system, you need to consult the Help for that system or ask in a Windows forum.

  • I changed my Apple ID and now I cannot download apps from app store

    I changed my Apple ID and now I cannot download apps from app store, even with ios 6. A message "This app is incompatible with this iphone" appeared. What should I do?

    Hi there joannelim5288!
    I have found an article that can help you to troubleshoot this issue with your iPhone. The article can be found here:
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
    Specifically, the first three steps listed in the article, and outlined here below, might be the most helpful to you:
    1. Update your device software
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Check for app updates
    Ensure that your apps are up to date:
    Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
    When prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the application updates.
    Note: Some applications may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install a free (or paid) app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You could also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • Startup keys with new Apple Keyboard and MacBook Pro

    Upon powering up my Rev. A MBP, I hold down the OPTION key on the new Apple Keyboard to select my startup disk. Strangely, the startup went straight into the default startup disk that I have chosen previously. I didn't get to selection stage.
    I tried with the old/white Apple Keyboard and my MBP keyboard and startup disk selector is A-Okay.
    I hooked up the new keyboard to my new Mac mini and did the same thing and no problem.
    Haven't tried with the rest of the startup keys like C or X yet with the MBP. Wonder is this a software bug between the MBP and keyboard.
    Anyone with similar experience?

    Actually, startup keys sequences do work with the Apple Wireless Keyboard (the old white one). I know because I have been using it that way with my Macs, PPC and Intel ones.
    I tried Command-V, Command-S, Option, T, C and Shift on the new keyboard with my Rev. A MBP and it goes go straight into the Apple logo.
    Swapped back to the old Apple Keyboard with my MBP and tried the keys above and no problems whatever so.
    Hooked up the new Apple Keyboard to my new Mac mini and did the same keys without problems.
    So, my conclusion is there something between the new keyboard and Rev. A MBP. Maybe someone with similar setup should try wha I did and see if they face the same issues.

  • New Apple Keyboard and iPhoto 08.

    It seems that when you install the new Apple Keyboard and download and install the Apple Keyboard update ver 1.1, it breaks iPhoto 08. What I am saying is that it will not let you rename any of your events! I installed it on my MacPro and it happened, then I went to my MacBook and installed the keyboard and the update and the same thing happened!
    Anyone else having this problem?

    The Fix!
    Go to the Finder, go to Macintosh HD, go to the folder called Library, go to the folder called Caches, look for a folder called com.apple.ATS usually the first folder, drag it to the trash. The computer will then ask you for your password and then restart your computer and all wii be fixed!

  • I updated my Apple TV and now I cannot rent a movie

    I updated my Apple TV and now I cannot rent a movie.  It doesn't seem to be recognizing my Apple ID.  What do I do?

    People are having all sorts of problems.  I restored my Apple TV on computer.  You can also try settings. I think you have to turn on using iTunes from cloud on Apple TV.  I just rented a movie for my kids and is working fine.

  • Non-apple keyboard and aperture recovery does not work

    Hello all, I use a mac mini with a non-apple keyboard and I am trying to recover my Aperture database, however, although the alt and command key work in all applications, the combination does not start up Aperture in recovery mode. Anyone any ideas? Thanks.

    Hi,
         Your migration to Lion brought over a previous hot key preferences document. And this contains one bad key that wasn't updated.
    - Quit System Preferences (if open)
    - Delete this document to remove a carry-over mapping error.
    - Then logout
    Note: That this will delete any existing modified keyboard assignments. Re-assign changes manually.
    Note2: This document is in your users preferences folder.

    i changed my credit card on my apple id and now i cannot download previous purchases?
    the songs appear on lightgray color on my itunes but i cannot play or download them again.

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    If you can't log into Settings>iTunes and App stores with your new ID them mean there is a problem. Try restting the password and try to sign in again.
