Apple usb jis keyboard in windows xp which driver to use

hi,
i bought the apple jis usb keyboard for my wife since it looked nice and was usb. it is supposed to be like standard 106/109 layout for japanese jis. However, I am not sure which driver to use in windows xp. xp will try to use the standard hid driver. I set it to microsoft 106/109 usb and while all the standard keys match up, the special language mode keys do not.
Any help here? (ie. use alps usb japanese keyboard driver) or is there a downloadable driver?

actually found a kernel mode driver called
applek pro 1.8.x which will allow for this.. Anyone try it?
thoughts?

  • Problem with USB travel keyboard on Windows 7 (some letters become a number)

    Hi
    I have an USB Travel Keyboard with trackpoint and touchpad. Have used for years in XP.
    Now I have bought a new computer, using Windows 7 and Asus P6X58D Premium motherboard.
    After installing Windows 7 I noticed that when I press some keys I get a number instead of a letter.
    I have managed to install drivers for the USB travel keyboard. And can enter the place where I can change speed of TrackPoint etc....
    Now some weird stuff:
    The keyboard actually work if I e.g. enter Internet via "Asus Express Gate".
    (This is a feature with the motherboard which enables me to run some small numbers of applications without having to start windows, thus enabling superfast access to Internet etc.)
    If I let Windows 7 start, then some keys/letters only show numbers.
    To me it sounds weird if keyboard only works in "Asus Express Gate" applications and not in when I e.g. use Internet or any text editor in Windows 7.
    Maybe there is a settings in BIOS that is set automatically when entering "Asus Express Gate", that I might have to set manually to make the USB keyboard work while in Windows 7 (64bit) ???
    I have looked in the BIOS UI without any luck...
    Any suggestions?

  • Can you use the apple time capsule as just a wireless hard drive without using it as a router

    Can i use the apple time capsule as just a wireless hard drive without using  a router

    You can, but this type of configuration is not recommended or supported by Apple.
    Two cautions if you want to try this:
    1)  The Time Capsule has to be configured to "Join" your existing wireless network in this type of setup...and to do that, you must know the exact type of wireless security that your network is using.
    2)  Backups are going to take twice as long. The wireless signal must travel from your computer to the wireless router and then from the wireless router back to the Time Capsule.  Two "hops"......even if the computer is located close to the Time Capsule.
    If you want to try this, we can tell you how....but with no guarantees on your results....since this is not officially supported.

  • Apple usb wired keyboard not working for MBP pro w/ 0 for stop on numeric k

    Just got logic 8 and noticing that it does load up quicker with the new os update.
    I'm going through the first getting started manual and I have a apple usb keyboard attached to my mac book pro.
    When I press 0 on the numeric keypad it doesn't stop the sequencer it just plays this soft like error sound or something. space bar works for stop however.
    Am I in the correct mode or what not? when I press 1, 3, 6 the views change, if there are different modes for the numeric keypad.
    I need to get that 0 key working for stop as it says in the first getting started manual on page 18 under "To start and stop playback:"

    The zero button doesn't work for screensets - there are no screensets with a zero in (ie, it goes from 9 to 11, there is no 10).
    If you want your zero key to do something, use the key commands window to assign it to whatever you like.

  • Cannot enter BIOS (F2) w/Apple USB AluThin Keyboard --- Win XP w/NO PS2

    Greetings,
    I love my Apple aluminum thin USB wired keyboard with my Windows-based PC, but...
    I'm d*mn frustrated.
    I cannot enter my BIOS by pressing the F2 key at start up.
    I also cannot press 'any key' when trying to boot from a disc.
    The keyboard is unrecognizable to the PC until the Windows XP Pro OS loads, then it works perfectly, typing on it now.
    The F2 button works as normal once XP Pro is loaded.
    My mother board does not have any PS2 ports (it is an Intel DG33LT board). So I cannot plug in a PS2 based keyboard to enter the BIOS or boot from a disc.
    I've read all about going into the BIOS and turning on the support of Legacy USB, etc. However, this is useless, as I cannot enter the BIOS in the first place.
    I'm trying to upgrade my computer that I use primarily for producing my income via product design, 2 GB of RAM just doesn't cut it with Illustrator and Photoshop running at the same time.
    I'd like to install Vista so it can support the 8GB of RAM I purchased. Can't boot from the DVD to install it.
    Any suggestions?

    Yes, easy solution.
    I figured the obvious culprit was the keyboard itself. I was curious if there was a software fix, etc... rather than going to the store and dropping $20 on a keyboard just to access the BIOS/boot cd.
    Well, I dropped the $20 on a junker keyboard, and it all works fine.
    Also- do not correct my online etiquette.

  • How do I send Windows-friendly network drive links using Mail (in Tiger)?

    I'm in an office with mostly Windows users (and Windows NT servers). Most folks use Windows email applications such as Outlook and Outlook Express. I use Apple Mail 2.1.3 (753.1) in Tiger v10.4.11. But I want to send links within my emails to files on our various network drives and have the receiving Windows/Outlook users click the links to automatically open the various files, but I can't get this to work. Any ideas on how to format the network links so they work this way?
    I don't log into the network drives normally until I want to access things, perhaps I should. But I've tried this and still no go.

    Thanks, but I've tried this in a variety of ways, none of which seem to work. So there's more detail required. Here's some background and examples of what I've tried without success.
    The Windows WORKGROUP is, say, "JAMESCORP" - but what's the equivalent in Apple networking to a Workgroup? And does this even matter? It seems to not matter?
    The Windows drives are mapped on Windows machines as, say, F: G: H: I: etc... But I don't know what the equivalent concept of mapping drives is on an Apple (more on smb, below). I typically don't map Windows' network drives (I use VMWare Fusion) on the Windows side since I did not like the constant Windows messages reminding me each time I'm out of the office that it can't find the Drive F:. Then it can't find Drive G: - etc. ad infinitum. What a pain.
    On the Apple side, I use Finder's command-K to smb into the server that contains all the partitioned drives. In the smb list, the drive names are, say, mapp-cdrv and mapp-ddrv etc (which, in Windows map to F: and G: respectively).
    So when you type "servername" - I'm lost regarding just what the servername should really be? Is it:
    a) F: (which does not work for a Windows user once it's delivered via Apple Mail to an Microsoft Outlook email) So this seems to not be the proper servername - or if it is, there's a translation happening in the delivery mechanism that makes it not work. (I "Add Hyperlink" from the Edit menu to get the link into an Apple Mail message.)
    b) mapp-cdrv (which works on an Apple, but when sent to a Windows machine's email (e.g., Outlook) does not work - so this isn't it. This servername is not something the Windows machines understand
    c) cifs://workgroup;""me@<ip address of server>/mapp-cdrv (which, again, doesn't work on a Windows machine once sent thru Apple Mail).
    I've tried a variety of other permutations of "servername" - both Windows-like server names and Apple-like server names - but none seem to work once delivered the way I'm delivering the links (thru Apple Mail to Outlook.)
    Any other ideas? Thanks for the help! ; )

  • Which driver to use in the BPM Configuration Steps?

    Hi,
    I´m in the BPM configuration steps and we will use BPM on a Weblogic Server, I´m in the step when you need to create to JDBC Data Sources for the Enterprise and Directory Databases, do you know which driver shoul I use? should it be XA o Non-XA?
    Thanx in Advanced!
    Kind Regards,

    Since there are no drivers, you can create your own, request one, use the Instrument I/O Assistant, or hope someone has one and posts it here. For help on creating one or requesting one, see the main Instrument Driver Network page. As long as you are familiar with the instrument and have the manual, creating a driver is not that hard.

  • BEA MS Sql server which driver to use?

    We have BEA weblogic 8.1 and want to work with sql server Which driver
    shoudl we use ?
    i believe driver is deprecated
    Bea talks about the new driver
    "WebLogic Server 8.1 SP1 includes a new JDBC driver from BEA for connecting
    to a Microsoft SQL Server database. The BEA WebLogic Type 4 JDBC MS SQL
    Server driver replaces the WebLogic jDriver for Microsoft SQL Server, which
    is deprecated. The new driver offers JDBC
    3.0 compliance, support for some JDBC 2.0 extensions, and better
    performance. BEA recommends that you use the new BEA WebLogic Type 4 JDBC MS
    SQL Server driver in place of the WebLogic jDriver for Microsoft SQL
    Server."
    Do we have to install sp1 or sp2 to work with this driver. How can we get
    sp1 ,
    Thanks,

    Where did the Driver file place?
    You can copy the driver file to the JAVA_HOME/lib
    folderDo not put that JDBC JAR in JAVA_HOME/lib.
    You should put it someplace close to your app and add it to the CLASSPATH when you compile and run?
    Geez, doesn't anybody think about a standard directory structure to use for their apps? Put it in a /lib directory with the rest of your app stuff. - MOD

  • Hi: I think this is a common question - I seem to have two Apple ID's and need to know which one to use when activating a replacement iphone5

    Hi:
    I have 2 Apple ID's.
    The first is the ID I established when I bought my first MacBook Pro several years ago.
    When Mobile Me ended, I migrated to a new Apple ID that is associated with icloud and that ID has its own password.
    On the first iphone 5 I purchased I used the "original ID" and noticed that I'm not receiving any email messages from my mac mail account.  I assume this is because I used the original ID and not the new icloud ID.
    Now that Apple has sent a replacement phone (issue with loose power button) I'd like to know if I'm supposed to use the iCloud ID to get the mail app to function properly....I've read this on the forums.
    Well....thought I'd test out the procedure on the old phone before activating the new phone.....it doesn't seem to work.
    I erased all content and settings, and tried to set up the device as new rather then restore from icloud.....I got an error message saying the password and User ID did not match.  I then reset my icloud password for my .me user ID.....same message came up, i.e., wrong password.
    I'd like to get this figured out as I use three email accounts and would like each of them to "work" on the phone.
    Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.

    Ok, fair enough.  But since Job's death - Apple's control on leaks has been terrible.  I got the new iPhone, and I like it - but it hasn't made nearly as big as an impression as previous ones.  Because of the vast ammount of leaks.  With the iPad mini leaks, it's 99% sure to come out next week.
    Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
    Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers.  It's possible to do so, I just want to know how.  I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
    No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing?

  • When will Apple or AMD release a Windows 8.1 driver that can display 5K resolution?

    Boot Camp install went smoothly even though I had to first install Windows 7, then upgrade to 8, then upgrade to 8.1. Only tiny hiccup was needing to run the Windows Boot Camp drivers installer a second time. Machine is running perfectly but will only display a maximum of 3840 x 2160 resolution (4K instead of 5K).

  • Which driver to use to print to a dot matrix printer?

    All-
    Hi, we are using Adobe Output Designer 5.7 to create invoice templates.  We use a custom application that uses Adobe Output Central Server (5.6) to create invoices and print them to a network printer.  We are about to do a new release in Chile, which requires a dot matrix printer be used for printing due to gov't regulations.  Does anyone know what kind of print driver could be used to effectively print to a dot matrix printer?  It seems like all the drivers we have used don't work.
    Additionally, we also tried using the .pdf driver in conjunction with the Web Output Pak, but unfortunately that result is just as bad.  Does anyone know of a workaround to get Pdf's to work with a dot matrix printer?  By googling, I found that we could try copying the .pdf output and pasting into Word, but I haven't tested this yet and it makes for a cumbersome process.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,
    Unless you can convert the PDF to a text file, and print that, I doubt there is any way to send PDFs to a Dot Matix printer.
    If you're on Windows then one way is to use the 'windows' driver option in your template to generate the output directory for the target printer - this allows non-supported printers to be used with Output Server,
