Blue Screen of Death from Apple Wireless Keyboard in Windows 7

Hi all,
Situation: I have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit installed (boot camp) on my late 2008 MBP. Oftentimes, I'm plugged in to an LED Cinema display and work off of the Apple Wireless Keyboard & Magic Mouse. The Boot Camp partition / Drivers were originally installed from a Snow Leopard DVD. My Apple Software update reports that all my Apple Windows Software is up-to-date.
Problem: Since installing Windows 7 back in May, I've experienced the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) 5 times. Each time has resulted from a key press on my bluetooth keyboard after it had been sitting idle for some time and presumably gone into power save mode. Any key press causes an instantaneous BSOD. It only occurs when I'm running windows and I'm working off my bluetooth keyboard so it's hard to replicate and likewise hard to troubleshoot and determine if a fix has worked.
*Error Details:* Here's some information I've extracted from the BSOD dump files.
IRQLNOT_LESS_OREQUAL
+The problem seems to be caused by the following file: ntoskrnl.exe+
+Technical Information:+

Thanks for the help!

I'm experiencing the same problem with the BSODs while using my Apple wireless keyboard (latest model).
I'm running Windows 7 x64 and admit that I bypassed the BootCamp software/driver installation wizard after it complained that my model didn't support installation of the x64 drivers. Its a bit of a gray area, as my system is 64-bit capable and many services and applications run in 64-bit mode without my intervention.
Just curious if Windows 7 x86 users are experiencing these BSODs or is it a coincidence that you all are installing the drivers creatively.

  • Windows 7 Blue Screen of Death from Apple Wireless Keyboard?

    I've installed Windows 7 with Boot Camp 3.0 drivers on my Mac mini, and I suppose overall, I'm enjoying it. However, I'm getting a blue screen that seems almost random. Keyword is almost.
    I've got my Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mighty Mouse paired, and they're both working well, however, I do believe I am getting some blue screens from my wireless keyboard.
    It seems, at random intervals (usually when I haven't touched the keyboard and mouse for awhile) I get an IRQL blue screen and no information about what's exactly causing it. For example, if I'm sitting in the other room listening to music for awhile, and I come back and press the "next" media button on my keyboard, it'll crash and give me the blue screen. However, I've also tried pressing another random button (shift) to "wake" the keyboard if it had fallen asleep, which also results in a blue screen. The blue screens ONLY show up when I give input via the wireless keyboard. Or, if I leave the computer on overnight to download a file or something, the screen will sleep (which it should) then I'll press a button on the keyboard, the screen will stay asleep, and the computer will restart. Which is just a hidden blue screen I'm assuming.
    I've tried reinstalling Windows (Clean/fresh install of course), installing/uninstalling drivers, pairing and re-pairing. I've also removed unnecessary/non-Windows 7 drivers that were installed with Boot Camp.
    Outside of this blue screen, I am quite impressed with Windows 7. I just can't figure out what's going on. Is there any place I can get a description of what's causing this crash? Does anyone know what's happening or know a solution to this?
    Thanks in advance, if you need more details, please ask.

    Experiencing exactly the same symptoms, bugcheck/bluescreen only when touching the Apple wireless keyboard after a period of inactivity.
    I have an 20" iMac, just upgraded Leopard -> Snow Leopard latest minor version and updated to Boot Camp 3.1 hoping they provided a fix, but the driver at fault (keymagic.sys) doesn't look updated and the issue is still there
    Hopefully someone from Apple dev support is reading this, here's all the info I could squeeze from the crash dump:

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard with Windows 7 on non Apple Hardware

    Good Day,
    I love the Apple Wireless Keyboard and it's the on I use when using my Thinkpad laptop as a desktop, meaning connected to an external Monitor and with an external keyboard and mouse. The Keyboard I use is an Apple Wireless Keyboard.
    On my MBA 13 I use Windows 7 as my OS and the Apple lyouted keyboard works actually quite well with windows: The function keys perform very much like in Mac OSX with the volume, screen brightness, the fn+left or right for "home" or "end" etc.
    Not I bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard to use in conjuction with my Thinkpad but all does features are missing. I guess that this has to to that on the MBA 13 the appropriate drivers where installed when the whole Bootcamp Software package was installed.
    Since I obviously cant install the whole Bootcamp CD on non Apple Hardware, is there any way to just download somewhere the drivers for Apple KEyboards so the behave the same way as they would on a Mac running Windows?
    Or is there any other way I could use my Apple Wireless Keyboard with non Apple Hardware the same way it behaves on my MBA 13 running Windows 7? Can somwhere lolely the Apple Keyboard drivers be downloaded?
    I want to thank anyone who is kind enough to help mme with this mather in advance and please leave out comments of the kind that I it's my fault, I should have bought an Apple machine from the beginning. I have my reasons and If anyone can't handle that I kindly ask you to just ignore this post unless it's constructive and helpful contribution

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard under Windows 7 pairing but not responding

    Hi all,
    I'm having a strange issue getting my Apple Wireless Keyboard to run on my new HTPC under Windows 7 (64 bit). I can get Windows' bluetooth manager to detect the keyboard, and I can input the pairing code, following which Windows seems to install a bunch of drivers, but then I get no response from the keyboard at all.
    The thing I find strange is that the keyboard works when I punch in the code numbers, but never before or after.
    I also have a Magic Mouse which works perfectly.
    Once paired and installed, the keyboard is displayed in Windows' driver manager as a "Bluetooth Peripheral Device", so I'm wondering if the issue is that Windows isn't recognising the device as a keyboard.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks heaps, in advance.

  • Blue Screen of Death, from Wireless Keyboard

    Alright, I've installed everything right, first thing I've done after installed windows was install drivers with Mac OS disk, and it accepted seeing my keyboard just fine. It was doing well for use. I then updated my windows, updated all the programs I installed, and shut it down, this information is probably irrelevant.
    Anyways, after going back to Windows, and after a few minutes I get a blue screen of death, which i will refer to as bsod from now on. I rebooted, my keyboard didnt work, so I re-established it's bluetooth connection and entered a passcode in Mac OS, because it was inresponsive to boot in windows mode during start up. i copied that passcode down in hopes for it to do better, and rebooted into windows, reinstalled the keyboard via bluetooth using that same passcode, after about 40 minutes, another bsod.
    It is in fact the keyboard for certain because these bsod's would occur when i start to type as times after I already had. Perhaps is the power saving mode on the keyboard, i have no clue.
    However, I plugged in another keyboard, windows, and it's been doing much better than this ****** mac one. Please help, I dont want two keyboards on my desk anymore.
    Oh, and as a side note, Windows only recognizes 2 gigs of ram. Why? I have 16! It acts like there is only 2 gigs of ram too! Is there a way to fix that as well?

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    sorry no answer for the Bluetooth keyboard as I always have and will use wired keyboards. Partly because of such behaviour.
    As for the 2GB limitation, I likely would say you use a 32-bit version of Windows.
    Sadly there is no 'cure' for this other than using 64-bit version of Windows.

  • Blue screen of death after installing Boot Camp on Windows 7

    Hello and thanks for the help!
    Brnad new user to Boot Camp here. After a new install of Windows 7, I install Boot Camp but then when rebooting Windows I get the blue screen of death. When letting Windows attempt a repair, it fails and I am forced to Recover Windows 7 to a state before I installed Boot Camp.
    Help!?

    Solution for this problem is simple. You have to apply Mac Book Air SMC Update 1.7 which you can do from Mac OS X with Software Update or you can download required update manually from Apple support site. If you don't use BootCamp and have installed Windows without it, you will have to boot Mac OS X from external drive just to apply required update. After you applied SMC update, you can boot to Windows and apply BootCamp update 3.2 and 3.3.
    There is a known problem with Mac Book Air EFI Update 2.3, which you won't be able to apply and it will show in Software Update every time you check for updates. There is no solution for it yet.
    You get BSOD if you have BootCamp 3.1 and Windows 7 SP1 installed and you have commited Windows update which will break applemtp.sys as your SMC firmware is too old. It applies to Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit versions in BootCamp or native install.

  • How to disable "special" f-key function on Apple Wireless Keyboard in Windows 7

    Hi.  I dual-boot my iMac using an Apple Wireless Keyboard.  In Mac OS's "Keyboard" system preference pane, I've chosen to treat the F-keys as actual F-keys, and not the "special" function keys, such as volume control and screen brightness.  This however does not carry over to the Windows environment.
    I cannot find an option to do this on the Windows 7 side.  I've tried SharpKeys (popular Windows freeware key-mapping registry editor), however the program doesn't recognize the key being pushed (unless I hold the "Fn" key, at which point, it sees it as the F# key).
    To reiterate, I'd like to know how to use the F1 through F12 keys as F1-F12 in Windows 7, without having to use the "Fn" key.

  • Can't pair apple wireless keyboard in Windows

    Hi
    I have just purchased the new June 2009 Macbook Pro. I've used bootcamp to install Windows XP and i'm trying to pair my apple wireless keyboard.
    Its the brand new apple wireless keyboard but when i search for the device in the Bluetooth control panel, its displayed but when it attempts to pair it says completed ok, but the keyboard still doesn't work.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers
    Andy

    ' Peter, I'm sorry to say this, but it sounds like you specifically either have a genuine hardware problem, or your Windows installation is sicker than most. You should never see the sort of symptoms you're talking about in a normal, healthy system!!!
    ' However, the bad / sad fact of the matter is that, even were you not in the position you're in, you couldn't use either keyboard or mouse when in Windows!
    ' I am able to (and have done - my Vista system is still configured successfully with 'em - I haven't removed them despite them being useless!) propperly pair both devices on Vista without much of a challenge - pretty standard fair actually... But that's all a smokescreen. Despite this - and despite being able to actually query each device over bluetooth for the services they provide and so on - they still cannot be actually used!!! No matter what, there is never any response from the OS to input or actions on either keyboard or mouse.
    ' <Shrugs> What can I tell ya. It does sound like Peter needs to move onto solving his bluetooth problem though anyways - in case this causes trouble for him (you) at some later date with devices that actually would be useful!
    ' Later!

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard on Windows 7

    Hi all--
    I recently bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard for my pc at home, specifically inquiring at the Apple Store if it would be compatible with Windows.
    I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop-- and when I navigate to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Add device -- Windows is completely unable to find the keyboard.
    My Macbook Pro has no trouble finding the keyboard, and from what I've read: there shouldn't be any trouble finding this device on Windows. What's going on here?

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard for Windows Vista

    I recently bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard and a Kensington micro USB Bluetooth adapter for my Windows Vista laptop. The initial steps to configure the keyboard were straightforward and I did not run into any problems. Within a few hours after setting things up, I ran into the following problems:
    a) The Apple Wireless Keyboard would disconnect randomly, sometimes mid-typing.
    b) After functioning normally, a key (usually 'f') kept repeating.
    The only way to solve both problems was to hold the power button on the side of the keyboard for a few seconds until the power light turned off. Then I had to hold down the power button again to turn it back on and it would automatically reconnect. The keyboard would work fine for a few minutes, only to have the same problems return later. The problems seemed to occur more frequently when I left the keyboard alone and did not use it for a few minutes.
    The Solution
    I become quite frustrated and was on the verge of returning the keyboard. As a final effort to fix things, I removed the Bluetooth drivers and reinstalled newer drivers. Here's how I did this:
    1) Go to Start > Control Panel (Classic View) > Keyboard.
    2) In the keyboard menu, select the 'Hardware' tab and select 'HID Keyboard Device'.
    3) Click 'Properties' and then select 'Change Settings' and click 'Continue' at the security prompt.
    4) Select uninstall.
    5) Go back to the Control Panel and go to 'Programs and Features'. Locate the program you installed with your Bluetooth adapter. (Mine was Toshiba Bluetooth Stack. If your computer has built-in Bluetooth, you can probably skip this step.)
    6) Uninstall the Bluetooth program.
    7) Restart the computer.
    Hopefully by this point, Windows will prompt you by saying that it has discovered new hardware and is installing the software for it. It should then display a Bluetooth icon in the notification area (bottom-right by clock). Right-click it and select add new device or view connected devices. Then simply run through the steps to connect your keyboard. Make sure you turn on the keyboard before you run through the setup.
    After going through this procedure, I have not had any problems. The repeatings keys and disconnections have both subsided. Before playing around with the drivers, I suggest copying the drivers to a safe location or creating a Restore Point so you can always revert your changes.
    Hope everything works out!

    Hello,
    I am having the exact problem you were having. Is it possible to apply Apple's new firmware update to the keyboard and have it function with the PC? I called the Applestore, and the sales rep told me that the keyboard did not save the firmware on the keyboard itself. Is this true?
    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    It may help to look at the minidump files from the blue screen crashes with a debugger.
    Can you zip up the minidump files in the C:\Windows\Minidump folder and make available (provide link) via a public folder on OneDrive or similar site?
    Here's a couple of links on using OneDrive (SkyDrive):
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/skydrive/add-photos-files-faq
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/onedrive/share-file-folder
    If you have problems zipping the minidump files copy the minidump files to another location such as a folder on the Desktop
    Also, you do not necessarily have to zip up the minidump files, you can upload them one at a time

  • Blue Screen of Death when installing latest patches for Windows 7

    I get a BSOD when I installed the latest windows patches.  the actual error message skips between a General protection Fault and the following:
    DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANCELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS.
    It is involving the file applemtp.sys at stop 0X000000CE
    I am unable to recover from it including a "safe mode" and a revert to previously known configuration.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Solution for this problem is simple. You have to apply Mac Book Air SMC Update 1.7 which you can do from Mac OS X with Software Update or you can download required update manually from Apple support site. If you don't use BootCamp and have installed Windows without it, you will have to boot Mac OS X from external drive just to apply required update. After you applied SMC update, you can boot to Windows and apply BootCamp update 3.2 and 3.3.
    There is a known problem with Mac Book Air EFI Update 2.3, which you won't be able to apply and it will show in Software Update every time you check for updates. There is no solution for it yet.
    You get BSOD if you have BootCamp 3.1 and Windows 7 SP1 installed and you have commited Windows update which will break applemtp.sys as your SMC firmware is too old. It applies to Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit versions in BootCamp or native install.

  • Apple wireless keyboard on XP with D-Link DBT-120

    It was effortless to pair my aluminum Apple wireless keyboard with Windows XP SP2 using the D-Link DBT-120 (Ver. C1) Bluetooth USB dongle. It paired just like any Bluetooth keyboard and works well when it's connected.
    The XP box the keyboard is paired with never sleeps, but when I come in in the morning the keyboard doesn't work. I always have to delete it from the Bluetooth Manager and re-pair it. It seems that the long overnight period of inactivity causes the connection to fail, even though my machine doesn't sleep or get rebooted.
    This same keyboard stayed paired with the same PC for weeks when I was using a Logitech Bluetooth dongle (WIDCOMM stack), so I'm guessing this is a D-Link issue or perhaps a quirk of the Toshiba Bluetooth stack. I even put fresh batteries in the keyboard to make sure it wasn't just starting to run low on power.
    Does anyone have any idea why a long period of inactivity (with no sleep or reboots) might cause Bluetooth connection problems between Apple's keyboard and XP/DBT-120?

    I tried to do what you described in this post but it does NOT work. I have a D-Link DBT-122 and Win XP running on a PC and the wireless keyboard.
    I type the code in the grey field with an USB keyboard and then I do the same with the wireless one and press "Enter" but it does NOT work.
