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

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 & 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.

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

People report it is still possible to use a wired USB keyboard with the CCK, if you use a powered USB hub to get around the "not enough power" error message. (I have done this with an older Apple USB keyboard my non-jailbroken iPad1 on iOS 4.3.3.) Normally, powered USB hubs have a AC power adapter so you lose portability unless you can find a battery powered USB hub. At this point, the (in)convinience of the USB hub becomes an issue, depending on what you get.
And wired USB keyboard were never supported for the iPad. So there's no guarantee that it will continue to work with future iPad updates from Apple. So best to go with a Bluetooth keyboard unless you have a specific USB keyboard that you "must" use. If you have all the equipment already, I say give it a try. But I would not recommend trying a USB keyboard if you have to purchase anything.

Apple wired keyboard - certain keys not working with shift

I treated myself to a new Apple wired keyboard MB110B/A for my mac mini.
My previous keyboard worked fine, however the new keyboard causes the computer to enter the Hardware Test mode every time the computer is restarted. The computer only starts normally without the keyboard connected (or with my old keyboard connected).
Once the computer has started, if I plug the new keyboard in, it appears to work normally with the following exceptions. The following keys do not register when the "shift" key is pressed: 2, w, s, x. This fault does not occur with my old keyboard.
As these keys are in a line, I think there may be a wiring fault inside the keyboard. If so, would this explain the computer entering Hardware Test mode every time it is started with the keyboard connected?
Thanks in advance.

Definitely sounds like a hardware fault in the keyboard to me. I assume it's the same whichever USB port it's connected to? (and if you plug it into another Mac, too)?
Of course, as that keyboard is glued together in final assembly, it's completely unrepairable.
If it's a reproducible fault (and new anyway): take/send it back for replacement. You shouldn't have any trouble with Apple arguing.

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.

Can I use the apple wired keyboard with the iPad?

Will connecting an Apple wired keyboard through the USB connector work on a iPad?

Some people have reported success using a wired keyboard with the Camera Connection Kit. Never tried it myself, though.

Will any usb extender work with my apple wired keyboard?

I'm about to buy a apple wired keyboard with the numeric keypad on ebay. I don't have an apple USB extender but I do have a normal usb extender that came with my old pc wifi dongle. Will this work with the apple keyboard? I've tried googleing but I've gotten many mixed answers, some saying yes some saying no.

Yes, a USB extension cable with a male and female end will work.

Wired Keyboard some keys not working

Hi there,
have been using an external wired apple keyboard on macbook pro retina for 6 month.
Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad - English (USA)
Suddenly 3 keys just stopped working:
u / m / j
checked the keyboard on an old macbook from 2008 - all keys are all working fine on this one.
Any idea what it could be???
thanks a lot in advance.

Hello bungalow2014
Check out the article below for further troubleshooting options for your keyboard. One other thing to check is to open Keyboard Viewer to see if there is anything else being pressed while hitting those keys.
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

Wired keyboard up arrow not working in finder

My keyboard has all of a sudden decided to, for lack of a better word, spaz out!
I have a 2011/2012 21.5 inch iMac (intel), with a wired keyboard (with numerical pad) and mouse. When I'm on the desktop (finder) and i select a folder, the up button on the keyboard moves 'down' (one folder) and then won't move again. The down button and sideways buttons work fine, and it appears all the other keys do to. When I go into a program like safari the up arrow works fine, I can scroll pages up and down without a problem.
The issue first began when i was working in indesign, and I went to the text palette and tried to manually tap up the point size, but instead it opened the swatches palette, and I couldn't understand why the up key wasn't working. I quit indesign and as this was happening I was doing something in the finder and noticed the problem there too.
I shut down all the program's and restarted. This didn't work, so I came exploring on apple discussions. I rebooted the computer in safe mode but that didn't work either. I searched in library > preferences for a com.apple.finder.plist (as I saw this mentioned in some discussions) but there was no such file living in the preferences.
I'm really not sure what to do to rectify this.. If anyone could help that would be super awesome! Thanks in advance!
Penny

Also, I forgot to add, that in iTunes and spotify the up button works, but as it does it makes that error-y sound as if it is not working (even though it is)

Wired keyboard with/without extension cable?

One realizes that these days the sleek new Apple corded USB keyboards - those with nummeric block - in the unit sale (not as a component of iMac shipment)
are fitted with additional USB cable. It seams to be some sort of extension cable for convenient connection of other USB device.
However the keyboard of the same type delivered with sleek new iMac Late 2013 - the purchase was in February 2014 - was
not delivered with such additional cable. Nor the user manual for keyboard was attached. Instead of this
the Magic Trackpad ordered with that iMac got two hard copies of user manual.
Regarding the additional usb cable attached to corded usb keyboard is this a change conducted by Apple
between February 2014 and these days, or rather an error in shipment those days?

However the keyboard of the same type delivered with sleek new iMac Late 2013 - the purchase was in February 2014 - was not delivered with such additional cable.
Check that keyboard to see if it has a USB port on either side. Mine (ordered with a 2011 iMac) has one on each end. If it doesn't then there's no need for an additional USB cable. I don't remember if it included a USB cable.
According to this Apple product page, Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad - English (USA), separately ordered wired keyboards with keypads come with two USB ports and an USB extension cable. However, when ordered with a iMac Call an Apple store or Apple at phone number at the bottom of this page and ask if it should have.

Problems under Windows USB Drivers (Apple Wired Keyboard)

Hello guys,
somehow I have some issues after installing Windows 7 regarding the USB Drivers: if I install the "Intel(R) 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Installation Disk - 1E31"-drivers, doesn't matter if I do it from Intel's or Apple's webpage, the USB Ports of my Apple Wired Keyboard (A1243) don't work anymore; it says "Not enough power". I have already tried that workaround found on the web, by increasing the output mAh through regedit, but the point is that after installing these drivers, the section "Power Management" isn't shown anymore in the device manager.
I'm having a Macbook Pro Late 2012 with Retina display

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;

Apple Wired Keyboard Gibberish

I guess this problem has never been solved but i thought i would let people know I'm having this problem to see if anybody has found a fix for it. I am using a MacBook Pro Retina (mid 2012) running Yosemite 10.10. When i use the wired keyboard a s d f g h j k l looks like å ß ∂ ƒ ˙ ∆ ˚ ¬ . I have tried just about everything i can think of besides buying a new keyboard and seeing if it is the keyboard itself. Anybody else have a similar problem or possibly a fix. DO NOT tell me to try another computer, make sure the USB ports are working, try a windows PC, try a different Mac, reset the SMC or PRAM, check fonts for duplicates. It does the same thing on a mac mini, and in windows it acts like control or alt is being held down. One would think that would make it like the keyboard is at fault, but at one point in time tonight during my adventures on learning how to troubleshoot a APPLE keyboard on an APPLE computer it worked about 80% except for several keys would type two letters when one was pressed. b = bn . Im out of ideas besides buying a new keyboard and crossing my fingers.
