Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad & Mighty Mouse questions

I apologize first for not knowing where the heck to search for this or post the question. (I searched the Apple site for info/downloads, as well as the Forums.)
I just picked up a wired kybd (A1243) and wired Mighty Mouse (A1152) from eBay at a pretty good price, but they came without any documentation or s/w. They seem functional, to the extent I can test them.
I'm planning to use these (for now) with my iBook (as a desktop), and later with an iMac.
I know there's programmable features to the mouse, and keys on the kybd I don't recognize, at the very least.
Could someone point me to the appropriate downloads? Thanks!!!

This is the original wired aluminum keyboard (with numeric keypad) software download (update) link. Make sure your 'Universal Access' mouse & trackpad function is deselected or your numeric keypad keys will not work.
Good luck.

Why doesn't my forward delete key work on my apple keyboard with numeric keypad?

I bought a wired apple keyboard with numeric keypad to pair with my Mac Pro (late 2013) and when I try to use the forward delete key, it does nothing. I have even tried to use the fn + delete shortcut and that doesn't work either. I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Again, waking up an old thread:
I first used an air compressor, set around 50psi, to "air out" all the ports.
Then I used a clean cloth to dab a bit of alcohol on an SD card's contacts... slid it in and out several times, dabbing a little more alchol each time... and voila!
All of our SD cards now seem to work fine... recognize, read, eject...
Also used alcohol to clean the contacts on all the cards.

Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad

My Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad stopped working after updating with Yosemite. I had to connect the Bluetooth keyboard. Am I the only one with this problem?

Hi Sam20051972,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
I understand how frustrating it can be when your USB keyboard is not longer functioning the way you would expect. The first set of troubleshooting steps I would recommend are the ones located in the attached article. Please use the article as a reference.
None of the keys on my keyboard work
Cheers,

Apple Wired keyboard with numeric keypad works for 10.5.6??

Hello!
I have a iBook G4 1 Ghz 256 mb of ram. I want the apple wired keyboard
With numeric keypad. My iBook is running 10.5.6. Would this work on leopard?
I don't care if the launch pad and mission control keys don't work since I have leopard.
However, on the box it says that the minimum requirements
Is 10.6.8 but some people say it'll work.
Please Help!!!
Thank You So Much

ok thanks for the tip and yes i admit i didn't see that...
but it seems a little weird to have to upgrade all the OS to Snow Leopard just to use a keyboard.
That kind of new device should be configured through a driver to download...shouldn't it ?
I presume there's no keyboard driver that can solve my problem.. ?
so you confirm that if i pay for Snow Leopard and upgrade my OS, my keyword will definitely work correctly with my Mac Mini ?
Thanks

Apple USB Keyboard with Numeric Keypad Problem

Hi,
I have a Mac Mini macOS 10.5.8
I just bought an apple USB keyboard with numerci keypad (aluminium) and am having problems
1/ If i hit @ i get <
2/ if i hit < i get @
3/ the function keys do not work : if i hit fn F11 it displays the desktop (as F11 does also), i was expecting lower volume
4/ if i hit fn F12 i get the widgets (as with F12) i was expecting higher volume
etc....
It seems my USB keyboard with numeric keypad is not recognized.
If i look at the Keyboard Visualizer (top right) it displays a keyboard that does NOT look like mine, it is smaller.
Why isn't this keyboard correctly recognized ?
Thanks
Marc

HT5636 I am using an Apple keyboard with numeric key pad.

I have a new Mac OSX 10.9.2. I am using Bootcamp to run WIndows 8.1.
I have just connected a new USB Apple keyboard with numeric key pad.
All works fine in OSX. But in windows the numeric numbers on the keypad wont work.
Numlock appears to work, but nothing happens when the number keys are pressed.
The keys / * - +and entre all work ok. Just not the numbers.
MIcrosoft SUPPORT REFUSED to help me because i am using a mac, they claim it is a hardware problem.

I would look for a program which would display the ascii value of typed letters
if i had the letter the key send one can assign that value to any other function one wish
https://www.google.dk/search?q=program+which+display+the+acsii+of+typed+letters& oq=program+which+display+the+acsii+of+typed+letters&aqs=chrome..69i57.11855j0j4& sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8#q=program+which+display+the+ascii+of+typed+let ters&spell=1
if the program would get no ascii value from the num keyboard then I suppose ms were correct
if not then there are tons of free programs to reassign keys as one see fit
and even if they were not to work one can do it manually in regedit in windows

Does apple have a wireless keyboard with numeric keypad

Does any one know if apple has a wireless keyboard with a numeric keypad if not they should make one

Hello:
Apple stopped making wireless keyboards with numeric pads some time ago. If you want an Apple KB with a numeric pad, you need to get a USB one:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B?n=keyboards&fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg&s=topSe llers
if not they should make one
That is a matter of opinion. I never use (or want to use) a numeric keypad and LIKE the smaller Bluetooth KB footprint.

IMac Running Windows 7 - Wired Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keys

I dual boot using Boot Camp into OSX or Window 7. I wanted to use both my Apple Keyboard and Mighty Mouse, but the Mighty Mouse once it lost a connection I could not get it back easily so I switched to a Logitech wireless mouse. My wired Apple keyboard works except for the numeric keyboard to the right. There is no num lock so in WIndows 7 it thinks it is the function keys associated with a PC keyboard. Help.

Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & Windows, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forums are at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology. Here is a link;

"how to" question for wireless keyboard and/or wireless Mighty Mouse

I just purchased a wireless keyboard and a wireless Mighty Mouse (yesterday)
and notice I cannot use the calculator 'widget' in my Dock
1. the number keys on the new keyboard do not activate the corresponding numbers on the widget
and
2. the mouse does not activate the widget numbers when I click on them, either
does anyone know if the calculator can work with these 2 new accessories?
(if not, is there another, similar, calculator I can use now..?)
thank you for your time

Hello d:
The calculator works just fine with my Apple BT devices. I doubt if the problem is with the devices.
Try deleting the calculator widget from the dashboard (when dashboard is open). Then add it back.

Problems with older BT mighty mouse - no pref pane?

I recently was given an older BT mighty mouse (meaning the model without the trackball). It works great, except when I go into the mouse preferences, it won't let me set the buttons. With my wired mighty mouse, I get a menu that shows the mouse and lets you pick what each button will do.... my BT mighty mouse doesn't show this at all. I currently have no right click option, and can't get anywhere to set it.
Is this normal, or is there something I'm missing that needs to be installed/changed?

I have tried using the keyboard/mouse software that came with my wireless keyboard -no luck.
Have deleted the com.apple.bluetooth.plist file, rebooted, cleared the PRAM, and reinstalled with no luck.
Have deleted the device and set it up again - no luck
I have an option to set my tracking speed and my double-click speed and that's it. No options for the buttons, nothing...

HT4112 how to use apple keyboard with window 7

I know a lot of people have asked this question, but I could not find a anwser that works. I am using an apple keyboard with my windows 7 laptop. I could not change the delete key to delete, apple keyboard delete button is backspace, not delete. Of cause, I have to use the on screen keyboard to log in each time becaue there is no delete button on apple's keyboard. Can some one provide a simply method to convert my apple keyboard to windows keyboard? Thanks and I appreciate your help.

Apple keyboard with large print?

I use an iMac at work and home. I am visually impaired and find it hard to see the letters on the keyboard. Is there an official Apple keyboard with large print letters? I don't want to buy a 3rd party keyboard that doesn't have all the functions. Would be happiest if Apple could provide me with such a keyboard to replace the standard one??
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Welcome to Apple Discussions
To get a keyboard with large letters you're going to have to go with a third-party keyboard. What functionality do you think you'd have to give up? There are quite a few third-party keyboards made specifically for the Mac although any USB keyboard will work. And Mac USB keyboards work on a PC as well. I use an Apple Pro keyboard on my work PC & then only thing missing is a "Print Screen" button.

Can i use a non-apple keyboard with my imac?

can i use a non-apple keyboard with my imac?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can use the keyboard you want with your iMac. However, note that some keys, as the Command key, aren't present in non-Apple keyboards. For example, in a non-Apple keyboard, you have to press the Windows key because that's the replacement of the Command key of an Apple keyboard
