Apple keyboard with PC (volume keys)

I just hooked up an Apple keyboard (wired) to my old PC and all works well, except for the volume keys. Is there any way to get them working with iTunes? Thanks.

I'm not sure. Since I'm typing this from a laptop, I never had an Apple Keyboard before. If there is a install driver cd that came with the keyboard, try that. otherwise you're pretty much out of luck, because those keyboards are intended for mac users. Please post back with results.

  • Problem with the volume keys on my keyboard.

    Hey everybody,
    I have a problem with the volume keys on my keyboard. This started a couple days ago and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. When I press the volume up or down buttons, the graphic appears on the screen as it normally would, but has no effect on the volume of the sound coming out of my speakers.  Therefore, the only way to change the volume of music or whatever I am listening to is to use the volume control within the program/website itself (itunes, youtube, etc.) Even changing the volume on the volume icon at the menu bar on top of the screen does nothing.  If anyone has an idea of how to go about solving this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

    First look into the Preference > Sound > Outpur whether internal Speakers are choosen.
    The only Preference to delete I can discover is com.apple.systempreferences.plist in your home Library folder. You can try to move it out to the desktop for example, not to loose all your settings. Restart and see whether the problem still persists. If you don't know how to do this here some Terminal (Applications > Utilities) commands. Enter them by copy and paste followed by <enter>
    mv ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist ~/Desktop/
    restart
    to get it back:
    mv ~/Desktop/com.apple.systempreferences.plist  ~/Library/Preferences/
    confirm with "y" if you are asked to replace this file.

  • Apple Keyboard with number pad the V key will not work

    Apple Keyboard with number pad the V key will not work.  Everyother key works but not the V.  I have a MacBook Pro.  Any suggestions?

    Call AppleCare and get it replace if it's under warranty; otherwise, get a new one. They're only $49 USD.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • I purchased a new keyboard and the volume keys won't work now.  How can I fix this?

    I recently purchased a keyboard, with the numbers to the side, and now the volume keys won't work on the keyboard.  Do I need to reset something? 
    Thanks in advance!

  • 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

  • Using Apple keyboard with Windows (bootcamp)

    Does anyone have a cheat sheet for using a wired Apple keyboard with Windows 7 (the bootcamp setup)? I like to use keyboard shortcuts, both in OS X and in Windows. When I switch to my Windows partition, I haven't figured out the key combinations to use on the Apple keyboard.
    UPDATE: Never mind. I found it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5636?viewlocale=en_US

  • 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,

    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

  • 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.

    Are you using a wireless Apple kbd or USB keyboard?

  • 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.)

  • I need to use the "apple key" which is, I presume the command key, but I do not have an apple keyboard; is there a key on a logitech keyboard which will serve the purpose?

    I need to use the "Apple key" which I presume is the command key; my computer does not have an apple keyboard; is there a key on a logitech keyboard which will serve the same purpose?

    The "Windows flag" key on PC keyaboard in Commans, "Alt" is option.
    Go to Logitech website to see if they have Mac compatibility software (Logictech Control Center) to make mappings a bit more complex).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Using New Apple Keyboard with Tiger

    Hey all,
    So I recently got one of the new Apple Keyboards
    (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB869LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg&mco=Nzk3NjM4NQ) for me to use with my Macbook, which is connected to an external display. However, the one problem I've been having is that it seems like the function keys are mapped differently between Leopard/SL and Tiger, so that when I press F12, which should be volume up according to my keyboard, Dashboard appears instead, which is what happens on my Tiger Macbook's actual keyboard. Now this would be fine and dandy as long as F5 corresponded to volume up as well, as it does originally, but f5 now refreshes my internet page. Is there any way to correct this? Thanks.

    Check if reassigning keys in preferences > keyboard > keyboard shortcuts does anything
    Not sure if this helps:
