Apple Keyboard with number pad doesn't work with Mac Pro?

I have a Mac Pro, and have used an Apple Keyboard with a number pad (not bluetooth) with it for quite a while, with no problems. But then my keyboard broke and I ordered a replacement Apple Keyboard with a number pad (not bluetooth). This keyboard doesn't work with my Mac Pro. I have it plugged in, but I can't get the Mac Pro to consistently recognize that there is a USB keyboard connected to it. What magical stuff do I have to do to get the keyboard to be fit for purpose?

It would not hurt to try an SMC Reset. (But if it does not help, it adds credence to lllaass assertion that the keyboard is not working.)

Besweet, I'm having the very same problem with 60GB colour which was bought new and worked for 6 months before suddenly just not being recognised by PC. I hadn't changed anything at all.
I've followed all troubleshooting advice and reinstalled and updated iTunes and iPod updater software but all troubleshooting routes seem to hit the dead end of either the need to access the iPod via the PC (which isn't possible as it's not showing up at all) or the iPod in disc mode stuck at "ok to disconnect".
It's still under 1yr warranty so will have to take to a dealer.
I'm sorry that's not much help for you but at least you know it's not a unique problem.

Hello lila54,
It sounds like your Wi-Fi network is working if your desktop works with it, we just need to get the Wi-Fi on your iPhone and iPad connected to it. I found a couple of resources to help with not being able to connect to Wi-Fi on an iOS device.
I recommend following the steps in this tutorial first (the steps should work on the iPhone and iPad):

If you are still having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi, follow the steps in this article (you can skip any steps you have already taken):

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

I use iMac OS 10.6.8 (uptodate Snow Leopard) with Firefox for Mac 23.0.1. Online and at other times, my number pad doesn't work. Is there a 'Num Loc/unloc' on the keyboard?

On line or otherwise, my number keypad doesn't work, then I get a 'freeze.' Number keypad works durning sign in.
I use Mac keyboard (original equipment).

Hi, sometimes Shift+clear works as numlock.
Also open System Preferences>Universal Access>Keyboard tab, & see if Sticly keys is on.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Num Lock Pad Doesn't Work With Fill In Forms

I have Adobe XI, running Windows * and IE 11. Num Lock key pad does not work with fill in forms. Can anyone help?

Sounds like you are using a third-party keyboard: the new Apple keyboards do not have a Num Lock key and the numeric keypad always functions as such.
If you're using a third-party keyboard, and if you installed vendor-provided software to customize the keyboard, check its preferences and also check the vendor's Web site to see if there is an updated version of the software for your keyboard.
I cannot reproduce the problem using the latest model of Apple Pro keyboard (the one that came with my computer, which is the same as your computer).
2. You might also want to state the specific keyboard and version of Excel you are using in case someone else has the same configuration and can try to reproduce the problem. I tried it with Excel from Office v.X.
3. You wrote: "* Deleted Excel Preferences"Both of them, yes?
- Home > Library > Preferences > com.microsoft.excel.plist (you may or may not have this one).
- Home > Library > Preferences > Microsoft > Microsoft Excel
Good luck!

Number pad doesn't work, and can't find Num Lock button

My number pad has stopped working. I looked in the User Guide which says I have a Num Lock button, but I don't. Where is it located. Thank you.

Solved - Never mind, I found it. I don't know why I couldn't find it last night. I'd looked for it before without finding it. For some reason, there it was this morning - where it should have been. I guess the computer elf came in an installed it. Thanks to anyone who may have thought of responding.

Standard Text with ' include' option doesn't work with order created by FM

Hi ABAPers,
Standard text with 'Include' Option does not work with all the Order created via the Function Module SD_ORDER_CREATE_WWW. Where as Order created via VA01 display the Standard text with 'Include'.
On my analysis I found that, Order created via FM use the '*' 'Comment' instead of ':/' 'Command' in the script editor. So the Standard text inserted was considered as a Text instead of command.
Hence issuing print or print preview, the Script display the INCLUDE statement instead of the text.
Can you please let me know the reason and the way to rectify it.
Thanks & Regards
N.Suresh Kumar

Hi.
Make that * command as /: and try in ur program..
It works..
Hope it helps...
Cheers,
Simha.

Num pad doesn't work with Excel.

Apple keyboard locked number pad

I have been locked out of the number keys on my apple keyboard, though all the other function keys on the number pad work as expected. There is no unlock button on my apple keyboard. This only happens on my account. All other accounts on the computer don't have this problem.

Virginia,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you checked System Preferences>Universal Access>Mouse>Mouse Keys: "Off"?
;~)

Bluetooth keyboard and magic pad doesn't work after sleep

This only recently developed, once my 2013 iMac goes into sleep mode, when I tap the keyboard to wake it up to put in my security password, the bluetooth keyboard doesn't work. Also, the track pad shows no point, i.e. I have a sign in screen, but can't sign it.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

HT4914 Apple TV 3 with OS 6 doesn't work with iTunes Match.

My Apple TV only shows me my purchases from iTunes Store
All my computers work with iTunes Match perfect
Have you any ideas?

My ongoing monologue.
So I have now discovered that when syncing my ATV with my iMac, it actually IS continuing to sync although ATV disappears from the device list in iTunes.
I had been thinking that the sync process was failing because the ATV would disappear, as would the sync progress bar at the top of iTunes. So I would quit iTunes again, and the syncing would start, but then it would blip out and disappear again, always after about a minute and 45 seconds.
I tried an experiment today, syncing only my music (about 2,000) songs, and it synced up perfectly. ATV seems to only disappear from iTunes when syncing big files like movies and TV shows (HD).

Password number pad doesn't work.

I was playing with accessibility and the screen went black. Now I have the screen back after shaking it, but it is telling me to enter my passcode, yet when I press the number pad, no numbers transfer to the 4 boxes in the passcode area. So the ipod remains locked. Can anyone help?

Hi Jim - Thanks for your reply. I finally figured it out!. First I had to touch the first of the four passcode numbers, once. Then I had to double tap the first number again. Second number once, pause, then double tap second number twice. Repeat for third and fourth numbers. Voila! Finally! Then I was able to go to settings and turn off voice. phew.

40GB iPod Photo came with FW cable, doesn't work with FW cable

I have a 40GB iPod photo that I love. I bought another (used) one for my wife, being careful to get the identical model so we could share things such as docks, cables, etc.
Her iPod works fine with the USB cable, but will only charge with the FW cable -- no computer can see her iPod through FW. I've reset the iPod, updated it with the iPod updater, but nothing. When I connect her iPod to any of my Macs (her 12" iBook, my 12" PowerBook, my G5 iMac) with FW, the iPod appears to be charging, but is not detected by the computer, nor are any of the iPod controls usable. It doesn't go to the "do not disconnect" screen, but simply freezes where it is until the FW cable is disconnected.
Specifics: both iPod Photos are the 40GB model M9585LL, version 1.2.1. The 2nd one CAME WITH a FW cable, which is why I'm puzzled that it won't work with it. Help?

Here is some info for the pinout for the iPod.
http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2006/04/zen-vision-m-video-cable-other-4 pole-35mm-pinouts.php
You need to find the pinout of the camera cable you have.
Probably be easier to get get an AV cable with a 3.5mm plug to (whatever fits into your TV) cable.
Usually, you simply have to swap the Red and the Yellow for it to work properly.

Filter Web Template with URL Cmd: doesn't work with compound infoobject ?

Hello all,
I've to filter the query contained on a web template with URL command, but it doesn't work.
The web template contains only one query, and on the free chars I have 0PLANT.
I call the web template adding to the normal url the following command:
&FILTER_IOBJNM=0PLANT&FILTER_VALUE=33
where 33 is the code of the plant I want to filter.
The command is executed, I think, because the result is "NO APPLICABLE DATA FOUND". The fact is that when I execute this query on the Bex filtering 0PLANT by value 33 the data exists.
May be because 0PLANT on our system is in compound with 0SOURSYSTEM ? In this case, what's the value I can use as filter ?
Thank's in advance,
Max

Hi,
please see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/59/edfe395dd76846e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
especially:
If the variant with ending 'EXT' is selected, the fully compounded value has to be entered in the external format, for example, 24.12.2000.
If the ending 'EXT' is not used, the fully compounded value has to be entered in the internal format, for example, 20001224 for 24.12.2000.
and
In the internal display (see table below) you can easily determine the name of the characteristic and the filter value using the URL parameter &snippet_operations=%20 (see also Object Tag for the Properties of Web Templates). Call the Web application with this URL parameter. If you filter using the context menu, the parameters FILTER_IOBJNM and FILTER_VALUE are automatically added to the URL in the Web browser. You can then use the desired values with Command URLs in hyperlinks.
