Wireless keyboard doesn't work in Windows!!

Wireless keyboard works fine in Lion system, but I cant unpair it in Lion system since it is undetectable. After installing Windows 7 through boot camp, the wireless keyboard is not working. I think it is some kind of driver problem. Can someone help me solve this problem? Thanks a lot!!!

Hi JPasHPCust,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I have read your post on having trouble utilizing your wireless keyboard to the desktop, and I would be happy to be of assistance!
To start off, I will need to know what the Product and Model Number is for your desktop. I will also need to know if your wired keyboard is capable of functioing in a different USB port or not.
Please follow this document on Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Troubleshooting. If you still cannot use the wireless keyboard, try booting your computer in safe mode. To do this, follow these steps to boot in Windows 8 Safe Mode.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Apple Wireless Keyboard doesn't work

I am running Boot Camp w/Windows XP Service Pack 3. I cannot ever connect my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard in Windows. The mouse seems to work OK but the keyboard just doesn't work. Is there a way to get this working?

New apple wireless keyboard doesn't work after upgrade to leopard on mini

I am posting this because I have not seen anybody else post this issue, but it is fixed at this point.
I installed the new apple ultra slim wireless keyboard on my mac mini about a month ago...was working great...until I upgraded to Leopard. The keyboard would connect, and the esc, function, and arrow keys would work great. However, none of the letter, number, or enter keys would work. This was all observed using the 'show keyboard viewer', which is accessible by allowing 'show input menu in menu bar' from the 'international' system preference pane.
I rebooted many times and even updated to the latest leopard patch set.
During this whole time, the wireless mighty mouse has worked without issue.
I removed the device and added several times with no change. I even moved the wireless keyboard to my G5 and it worked great over there.
After a few days of trying various things to no avail, I was finally able to get the keys to work, but I am not sure why. I had a wired keyboard connected and kept going back and forth between the wireless and wired keyboard and all of a sudden it started working. Very strange.

this problem is fixed, but if anybody has an idea what happened, I would like to know.

Wacom Tablet causes Apple wireless keyboard to stop working.

My Wacom tablet/pen causes my Apple wireless keyboard to stop working. While working on a photo in Photoshop using my Apple (usb) mouse to make selections the keyboard works fine. When I use the Wacom Pen to make selections, not immediately but anywhere from five to ten minutes into it, I hear what sounds like a chirp from my computer (Mac Pro) and my keyboard stops working. The command, option, control and direction keys still work but not the number and letter keys. I have to connect a spare Logitech keyboard via USB in order to continue and not loose my work. After awhile I will hear the chirp again and the Apple keyboard will start working. This will continue to occur at irregular intervals. Without the spare keyboard I've had to reboot my computer (loosing all the work on the photo) to get the keyboard working again, but only for it to reoccur. Any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated.

The Mac inherently keeps all input methods active, such that you could type alternate keys on alternate keyboards.
If you have third party add-ons that might change the way Bluetooth works, those would be the primary suspects.
Be sure all your Drivers are completely up-to-date, and batteries in battery-powered devices are still strong.
Bluetooth uses the same part of the frequency spectrum (but a different modulation technique) as cheap WiFi Routers, baby monitors, and microwave ovens. if you live in a busy apartment building, there may be very high levels of interference.

HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection. If not, are the batteries the right way round. Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading. Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

My ipad front camera doesn't working,cannot take a picture this moment,how to fix this problem?

My ipad front camera doesn't working,cannot take a picture this moment,how to fix this problem?

Try closing the Camera app via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Apple wireless keyboard isn't working on fresh Windows 7 Boot Camp except in safe mode

OK so yesterday I decided to reinstall Windows 7 to my mid 2011 27 inch iMac. I've had Windows 7 on it for a couple years but it got so bogged down that I wanted to start from scratch. However once I finished installing all of the Boot Camp 5.0 drivers from Apple the wireless keyboard stopped working. I'm not sure if the Magic Mouse would work because I use a wired Razer mouse which works fine and I don't feel like digging it out. I know that the keyboard can work becase I'm useing it to type this right now in Windows safe mode but when I boot Windows normally (Without holding F8) the keyboard doesn't work at all. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know as I've tried for at least 4 hours to get it to work with no luck. I tried reseting the NVRAM and PRAM, reinstalling the apple drivers, removing and resyncing the keyboard in both OSX and Windows 7. If anyone has a solution for this please let me know.

Even after all of your suggestions, as well as Apple Care's (I have a case # and everything), I still get random freezes either before, during, or after log-in. The latest futile attemps including complete removal of the Citrix software, and creation of a new user account.
Thanks also to all of you, I know I'm not alone:

(and more I can't get to because of the freezing problem!)
Feedback submitted... Apple had best address this issue IMMEDIATELY. It is embarassing to have to use either my Windows PC at work, or my 4-year-old G4 iMac at home, because my new $2000+ iMac occasionally turns into an aluminum-and-glass paperweight.

10.5.6 USB apple aluminum keyboard doesn't work...help!

After installing 10.5.6 my apple keyboard doesn't work, but the apple mouse plugged into the keyboard works fine. I installed the combo update and it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

I also have the same problem with a MacMini running MacOS 10.5.6 Server. The Al Apple Keyboard (wired) does not show up in the USB tree. However, the wireless one (over bluetooth) works fine.
help!

Apple Wireless Keyboard doesn't connect to MacMini

Hello,
I have a problem with my wireless keyboard. When I installed my Mac Mini last year together with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Mighty Mouse I hadn't any problems.
Once both devices didn't want to work anymore. At first the mouse finished its work. I used another USB Mouse and since that time the mouse works fine than before. The next problem I get with the keyboard. But all I did, wasn't successful. The MacMini doesn't connect to the keyboard.
I tried...:
1.) to use new batteries
2.) to try it with my MacBookPro (it connect without a problem and is afterwards fully functional!)
3.) to use for a short time my old USB-Keyboard
4.) to try once more connecting it over the Bluetooth-Preferences
5.) to delete in the libraries com.apple.bluetooth.plist and then to restart the Mac.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Alex

I reinstalled the OS and simultaneously I downgraded it to 10.5. It seems to work now perfectly again. Also the often occured kernel-panics disappeared.

Control keys of latest apple wireless keyboard don't work on iPhone 4

Hello;
I just brought the latest apple wireless keyboard(2011) and I tried the control keys(briteness, music control, volume control) none of them worked on my iPhone 4(ios 4.3.5), but those shortcuts like: cmd+a, cmd+c...worked very well, I don't know what's wrong with this and I think those control keys are very useful, I'm planning to replace my old Lenovo laptop with my new accessory, who can give me a hand please!!! Thank you!

A number of folks have reported that the newest Apple BT keyboard, designed for use with Mac OS X Lion has this issue. Unfortunately the new KB has the same model number as the one for Snow Leopard. The way to tell them apart is the F4 key, on the Snow Leopard KB it has the Dashboard icon. I would try to find an Apple retailer with the Snow Leopard KB in stock and exchange your KB for one of them. The Snow Leopard KBs work great with the iPad, with all applicable function keys operating.
