Apple Keyboard (not wireless) cable length

Hi,
which length has the USB-cable on the Apple Keyboard (with numeric keypad)? Standard 1.8m or more ?
Thanks,
EmmKay

You asked about the cable on the keyboard, and that's about 0.8 meters. If you want the length including the USB extension cable, then yes, that would be about 1.8 meters.
It's helpful if you are precise in asking your question. Then we can give you the most appropriate replies.
Regards.

  • My imac won't startup past the spinning gear and my apple keyboard is wireless but it won't connect, how do I fix the problem so I can get into safe mode?

    My imac won't startup past the spinning gear and my apple keyboard is wireless but it won't connect, how do I fix the problem so I can get into safe mode?
    Can anybody help me on this issue? I have already tried to replace the batteries but since the computer won't get past the spinning wheel of death then the keyboard won't connect.

    Please follow Apple's advice in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570. If you need to get your hands on a wired USB keyboard, even a PC one will work fine.
    Do not follow the previous poster's advice, that option is a "last chance" option. OS X is stable and in most cases a reinstall is never needed. Follow the directions in Apple's letter.

  • Apple keyboard not working w Iogear KVMP 1644 switch

    I have a new Apple keyboard that I am attempting to integrate it into my music setup.  It's an Iogear GSC1644 4-Port Dual View Dual Link DVI KVMP Switch with Audio.  I have a newer (2012) Apple keyboard that I plugged into my setup and it does not work.  It is the same model A1243 as my 2008 Apple keyboard which still works except for 2 keys, the 'Z' and the 'option' keys.  I plug it in and nothing - it's like it is not seen. HOWEVER >>>>  when I plug it indirectly to the computer - no problem.    These Apple keyboards look identical, they are the same model.  I have changed USB cables at every connection - I cannot get it to work.  I powered down the Iogear GCS1644 per directions from their support desk: this included disconnecting every device and unplugging the power supply and leaving it unplugged for at least 10 minutes.  I left it unplugged for over an hour.  Then plugged the 4 computers back in, powered on the unit, and only powered on one computer - it still did not work.  The older Apple keyboard works perfectly - nothing changed.  I am at a loss.
    What can this be?  Is there a major difference between the two Apple Keyboards even though they carry the same model number?  And - barring a quick and simple fix - are there any other older Apple Keyboards out there?  If not Apple, are there any other keyboards with a similar small footprint like the Apple that might work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Are you connecting the keyboard to the keyboard-specific USB port on the back of the unit, as opposed to the front port or the hub on the back?
    I have a 4-port DVI IOgear KVM. I have never had a problem with the keyboard not being recognized, although booting through the KVM doesn't allow use of the various "boot" keys (option, S, T, etc.). I have to plug a keyboard directly into the computer for that. The other issue I have had is that the front USB port was always somewhat unreliable, and after a year or two just seemed to conk out.
    I am using an older Kensington Slim type keyboard that was discontinued several years ago. I haven't tried the Apple keyboard that came with my 2010 Mac Pro, but will try to do so, just to see if there is an issue.
    There may very well be some slight difference between the 2008 and the newer keyboards. With luck, someone here will know.
    Is your Mac Pro a 2013 model?

  • Keys on Apple keyboard not working

    Hi Apple Folks
    I don't know why some keys of my iMac keyboard stop working after not using the iMac Mid 2007 for a while.
    It is a Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, still looks like brand new. There is no any physical damage to the keyboard, the iMac and the keyboard just left there not in use for two years.
    The bad keys are ESC, TAB, CAPS LOCK, DELETE , \, and RETURN of the character keys area, also the 0 on keypad. All the other keys work perfectly as they were.
    Per an Apple KB article, i have confirmed these bad keys by using the Keyboard and Character Viewer of OS X.
    Any hints to fix the keys please?
    Kind regards,
    B

    OK, do some very basic resets of your system. The first two you may need to do 3x as they don't always work the first time. For instructions click Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets
    If those do not work then restart in Safe Mode and then restart normally.

  • New Apple Keyboard not compatible??

    I was looking to purchase a new Apple Keyboard (wired) for a G4 Powerbook but the system requirements say the machine must have OS 10.5 or higher. Is this true? The Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad only requires 10.4.
    I wouldn't have thought that a keyboard would not be compatible with a G4.
    Marion

    You can go to the System Preferences --> Keyboard and Mouse and check "Use F1, F2 etc keys..." and F7 and F8 will work.
    But I don't know where the function key is on those new keyboards.

  • Wired Apple Keyboard not recognized in Win 7 64x bootcamp partition

    I installed a bootcamp partition on an iMac late 2012 i5 running 10.8.3 following the Bootcamp instructions.  Windows 7 64x installed fine.  My wireless Apple keyboard and magic mouse work fine.  However, when I plug in my previous Apple wired keyboard from my 2008 iMac, Windows doesn't recognize it, keyboard doesn't work, and the USB ports on the keyboard don't work.  Called Apple support and they said to call Microsoft.  MS said they didn't have an answer.  Anyone else have this issue and any success resolving it?  Would really prefer to use the wired keyboard for gaming and the numeric keypad.

    Sorry - also meant to say that I had Win 7 x32 installed in a bootcamp partition on my previous 2008 C2D iMac and the wired keyboard worked fine.

  • Apple keyboard not recognized while installing WinXP

    I posted my WinXP Pro installation problems earlier in this forum but I think having recognized the problem: When Bootcamp boots the machine from the WinXP-CD, it seems that my USB-keyboard (tried both: aluminium and old white plastic) is not recognized, meaning that I cannot input anything to tell the Win installer to proceed. The symptom I see is that the green light of the caps lock key is not there. This probably means that the keyboard is not connected as it should be. Could it be that this is due to the OS 10.5.6 Update? On earlier machines and with earlier versions of Leopard I did not have this problem.
    Please advise.

    Same here until my partner provided her usual keen insight - use a Windows keyboard!
    Until you have completed the WinXP installation and then re-inserted your OS X/Mac Install CD 1, Windows can only establish comms with a Windows-specific keyboard, not a Mac-specific keyboard. The Win USB Mac-keyboard drivers contained in Boot Camp are not installed until you start up the OS X/Mac Install CD 1....
    Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 worked for me (~£20). Will probably continue using this when running WinXP for any extended period; saves having to learn new key combinations.
    BTW: I found that once WinXP was installed, downloading and installing the drivers contained in Boot Camp 2.1 from the Apple website greatly improved both control (eg Nvidia driver) and responsiveness of WinXP.
    Hope you (all) find this useful; thanks are due entirely to my partner, bless her.

  • Apple keyboard not working after installing new monitor

    Yesterday I installed a new monitor - HP EliteDisplay E231i - to my Late 2013 Mac Pro.  Previously I had been using super old apple monitors.  My apple keyboard was working great - I had it plugged into the new monitor itself.  I shut down the computer last night. This morning, the Mac Pro won't recognize my keyboard no matter what I do. I tried plugging it into every possible USB port on the tower and on the monitor. Restarted it after moving it each time. I'm currently typing with a Microsoft keyboard, which is working fine.  I tried the keyboard in 2 other laptops (macbook pro) and it works fine.  Is this a bug specific to the monitor??  I've been running Yosemite 10.10.2 since the last update, and I've had no issues till I switched the monitor out and tried to start the computer after shutdown.
    Details: Mac Pro (Late 2013), Yosemite 10.10.2, 32 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC, AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB
    Anyone know what's going on?

  • Numeric Pad on Apple Keyboard not working with 12" PB

    Hi, I'm having a problem with my Apple Keyboard and 1.5 GHz PowerBook G4 12". When I attempt to use the numeric keypad on the external keyboard, no numbers are printed displayed. Originally I though the keyboard was broken and had Apple replace it. However, the problem still persists. Any help would be amazingly appreciated.

    Ya, I have the same issue. The Clear key is reported to be the numlock but it doesn't help.
    The Keyboard Layout shows the keys are being depressed.

  • Wireless apple keyboard not pairing at set up of new mac mini

    i have just purchased a new mac mini and wireless keyboard and trackpad. i am trying to setup my mac mini but the keyboard does not pair. i have tried replacing the batteries. but as i am new to macs i dont have much of a clue. the trackpad connects fine.

    I had this same issue when I purchased my Mini. Unfortunately, the initial setup of your wireless keyboard requires a wired keyboard. I don't recall where I found this information, but it may have been in the manual for the Mac wireless keyboard. I purchased a Mac wired keyboard from Fry's Electronics to log in and sync the wireless keyboard and returned the wired keyboard later that day.

  • Apple keyboard not working properly

    I have had owned this wireless keyboard for over a year now. It has been working fine up into like 3 days ago when all of a sudden certain keys where not working properly. I disconnected the keyboard and tried pairing but it is not allowing for the pairing to go through. I also tried it on my ipad same keys where not working properly. Nothing was spilt on it. It just stop working right any suggestions

    Gabor-
    Try resetting the iPad's network.  Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings.  You will probably need to re-pair Bluetooth with your keyboard and reconnect your WiFi.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting doesn't hurt anything, and sometimes corrects mysterious problems.

  • Apple TV and new apple keyboard not paring

    Heelo I have a Apple TV (3rd. Gen. - MD199LL/A - iOS 6.02) and I got a new Apple Wireless Keyboard (A1314).
    The keyboard works fine with iPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.4) and my Mac Retina (OS X 10.9).
    I parried and unparreid from iPhone and Mac to test.
    Even with only the Apple TV turned on it cannot find the keyboard. I follow every step from the apple suport tutorial, and tried some hints that I found on internet.
    The keyboard have new batteries ans is just a some inches from the apple TV. I tryied to turn off (even from the cable) the apple TV, did the same wih the keyboard and batteries (I check if they are in the right position) and I put the keyboard in discovery mode (blinking green led).
    Could someone help me?
    Thanks in advance!

    Well did you enable and cofigure AirPlay on all those devices and ATV?

  • Apple keyboard not pairing with iMac

    My wireless keyboard was working fine just until 2 weeks ago when I went out of town for a couple of weeks (and it has worked fine for over 2 years now).  Now it is giving me problems pairing with my iMac.  I've gone through all the support discussions and I've tried everything. 
    I uncoupled the device from the computer because it was not connecting and have tried connecting it ever since and nothing seems to work.  The computer seems to "find" the keyboard but won't connect to it.
    I have pushed down the power button the entire time during pairing process as suggested by some people with the problem on the discussion boards and that doesn't do it either.   While occasionally the computer will see the keyboard, it just does not seem to want to connect to it.  The green light comes on for a bit when I hold the power key down (or even when I just push it once) and then goes off.  It never blinks i.e. it doesn't seem like it's going into pairing mode at all.
    This is really confounding.  Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated.  I'm already 3 hours in the whole trying to fix this.

    Thanks Barry.
    I had already deleted the KB from the bluetooth preferences and it was discoverable, so no idea why it wasn't working.
    However, eventually what ended up working was that I turned the iMac off, I took the keyboard to work (i.e. away from anywhere near the iMac's vicinity) and then when I brought it back at the end of the day, the green light suddenly started blinking again and the iMac discovered the KB.   I don't know how these things are designed but apparently, you need to take the KB out of the range of the device it was formerly paired with EVEN IF you have deleted the device from the bluetooth preferences.  Otherwise, somehow, the pairing is still remembered and the device is not recognized.
    If this happens again, next time, I'll try your reset SMC suggestion.  thanks for your help.

  • Apple Keyboard not working

    HI, I have an iMac from late 2009, when I tried to type in my password it did not register letters. I tried all the usual things, replaced batteries, turned things off and on again but still no luck. I then connected it to my iPad Air 2 and it worked fine, so the keyboard is still functional however i have no clue what else I can do!
    Any help would be much appreciate,
    Thanks

    You may use a wired USB keyboard which could also help troubleshoot the computer.
    If there is a hardware reason inside the computer for the failure of Bluetooth, then you
    may seek to have it looked into at an Apple Store genius bar (with appointment) so as
    to see what may be the cause of this symptomatic failure. And if the iMac is under
    warranty, they can refer you to repair; the diagnostic is usually without cost at official
    Store. And if no official Apple Store with genius bar is available, an authorized Apple
    service provider location or specialist may be able to help resolve issues.
    If the keyboard isn't syncing with the iMac, there may be other things to be done, but
    a working USB keyboard is first in the line of troubleshooting items to have on hand.
    If you have an Apple USB keyboard, that's best. You could use Windows PC keyboard
    but some keys are different; these are linked sources to read and understand how to
    use a windows keyboard where certain keys have other meaning...

    There is a reset, usually best done with USB wired keyboard, that may help, the SMC

    the problem relates, there is different reset NVRAM that does some other stuff.

    do you have a wired mouse and keyboard to use? Have you gone into the bluetooth setting in Windows and tried to set-up them up? You may have to put both into pairing mode to set them up again.
