Bootcamp 3.x. USB keyboards are not working for the Windows XP Installer.

I'm running an iMac with OS X 10.6 and bootcamp 3. I am trying to use bootcamp to install Windows XP on a partition. When I get to the windows setup program the USB keyboard is non-functional, which is unfortunate because I need to hit 'enter' to proceed with the install.
I've tried multiple keyboards, and every USB slot on the iMac. I've checked for software updates, but alas I'm stuck.
Thanks.

Got a copy of the WinXP 7 Pro install disk with SP2 (genuine) hoping that maybe the sp2 disk may have better usb support. iMac wont read the disk just spits it back out like it has a bad taste, this is just getting to be comical.
Anyone had luck with Ghost imagineing in boot camp via BartPE?

Apple USB keyboard does not work on PC (Windows 8)

I am trying to use my USB Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad with my PC that is running Windows 8 but it will not work. It does not respond at all. It works fine with a USB mouse and a different keyboard.
Are there any drivers that are required?

I'm facing the same problem, found any solutions ?

My push notifications for Facebook are not working for the iPhone 5.

All the sounds are working except for Facebook. I have enabled all the settings for the push notifications but they still do not work. I do get alerts but no sound. Please advise.

We are all in the same situation. It is very annoying. We have to get people to let Apple and Facebook know. It is not my phones (I have a 4 and a 5), because Facely HD, which is an app that accesses Facebook, works fine as does everything on both phone (native functions, native apps and non-native apps).

How does a usb keyboard attached externally work?
You might try a "hard reset" where you remove battery and AC charger, hold down power button 20-30 seconds and then reassemble and turn on. Reset BIOS (F10) to default settings, too.

USB Ports are not working in Windows 7

I am on a MacBook and I installed Windows 7 via Bootcamp. It is working amazingly. I love all the new features and the look.
But all my usb devices are not working. I have a external HD and a Zune and a printer plugged in and nothing shows up.
I have tried with my usb hub and without. Doesn't make a difference.
BUT, they do show up in the Hardware and Devices place. Like I can remove them but not explore them.
I have installed all the drivers for bootcamp and everything.
Please help.
Thanks in Advance.
Best Regards,
Luc

Apple USB keyboard does not work with one internal usb port

Hi everyone,
hope someone can help me to solve my problem. I have a MPB13 retina late 2013 since something like 3 months. I have additional screen (dell), usb wired keyboard (apple) and BT magic mouse.
Since a few days, my usb keyboard does not work well. It only want to work properly when plugged to the rights side usb port internal port and not anymore on the left one. It also work on a usb external concentrator. Before, I had no problem, it worked perfectly. There was no problem such as cofee on it...
After searching the web on such problem, I tries a few things such as:
I tried the keyboard on another computer (windows): works fine
I tried usb stick and external DVD reading on the left internal usb ports: works fine
I switch the MPB off and turn it back on: the usb keyboard still does not work on the left usb port
I tried the SMC and PRAM reset : nothing
Any idea ??
Thanks
Guillaume

External USB keyboard does not work with T60 after BIOS upgrade

Anyone else bumped into this problem yet?
Has someone found any fixes for this?

Hi and welcome the forum!
Try uninstalling all USB hub devices from the device manager and reinstalling them again, particularly the keyboard's.

Apple USB keyboard does not work

I have the same problem as described by Sweboss on November 15th, 2012. The Apple USB keyboard is working perfectly, but if I shut down the computer, when I switch it on again, the USB keyboard does not respond, and the computer is looking for a Bluetooth keyboard (which I had before). I have tried switching off, unplugging all peripherals, then unplugging the computer, waiting 15 seconds, then plug it in, wait 5 seconds (this is a remedy proposed in other mails). Switch on and the USB keyboard does not respond. It is not that particular USB port, as it works perfectly well with other peripherals like my scanner, or printer, and changing ports does not help. And when I tried it last time, I had no other USB peripherals connected. Can anyone help?

That is definitely some strange behavior, good to finally be working, but does not explain exactly what causes the behavior. Could have something to do with the energy saver part of the operating system, or a miscommunication with the USB bus itself. With multiple USB ports it would be good to test on different ports to see if that is an issue. Anyway, it is working now and that is good.
Another I don't know why but it works: a couple months ago a user was having problems with a wireless keyboard. The keyboard-iMac communication resulted in random charaters, time lag, and other bad behavior. The user finally found by accident that turning the keyboard off, removing the batteries, and then spending about five minutes just pressing keys, placing the palm of the hand on the keyboard and pressing, just pressing and pressing, and then replacing the batteries and turning on the keyboard, it worked fine. Seems like it is necessary to just force the keyboard to discharge all of the key switches. Those keyboards use capacitance switches instead of mechanical switches. So they retain a charge.
While that was a wireless keyboard, I wonder if that was what happened in a way with your keyboard...the unplugging and leaving it for a period of time, any charge may have dissipated and it would work again. If this happens again, try the above procedure and see if it helps.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Three keys of my keyboard are not working, the cap one, the return key and the space bar, while the virtual keyboard shows to others keys highlighted in orange (^ and `); How to fix it? I writing now with a bluetooth keyboard.

All new keyboards need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and above for full functionality.
Rather short-sighted of Apple perhaps, but that seems to be a trend these days.
I'm afraid the only fix is to upgrade to SL. Personaly, I'd take it back and get a refund and seek an older keyboard or a third-party one elsewhere.

Usb drives are not working, usb drives are not working

USB drives are not working. Please help

Non of my Western Digital drives are working anymore on several different Mac computers, one Mac can still work with the drive so I am not getting it up dated to the new OS.
If they told me that all my 2 TB drives would no longer work if I got the new OS I would not have updated.
There needs to be a fix, I can't afford all new drives plus they have video on them that I need to use.
Also iPhoto and Garage Band have disapeared I can't find any trace of them???

My "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys arnt either? any help would be amazing!

my "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys aren't either? any help would be amazing! I use these keys a million times a hour and since I have switched to cc I cant get them to work. track selection makes no difference or if there are markers on the timeline or not.
Anyone else feel me on this?
any help?

Well that still didn't make any kind of difference. I would just do without it but I've becomes really use to it with Avid for so long. I have to admit there are a lot of small moments like this that makes me miss Avid. Any other suggestions? I have checked the keyboard shortcuts a few times and maybe I'm just missing something here...

My Macbook Pro keyboard and USB keyboard will not work. However, the trackpad and USB mouse will work. Any help?
This is quite frustrating, since it randomly occured as I was browsing the web. It seemed to happen out of nowhere. I cannot login to my user account because I cannot type my password.
Any help will be appreciated.

If you have another Mac, boot the non-working one into Target Disk Mode (holding down "T" at startup). Hook up the two Macs via a Firewire cable. The non-working one will mount on the other Mac as an external Firewire HD.
Next, download the 10.5.6 Combo update from here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1056comboupdate .html
Run it. When it asks you for a destination, choose the other Mac that was mounted via Firewire. When it's done, unmount the computer and restart it. The keyboard and mouse should work now.
