Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can use the keyboard you want with your iMac. However, note that some keys, as the Command key, aren't present in non-Apple keyboards. For example, in a non-Apple keyboard, you have to press the Windows key because that's the replacement of the Command key of an Apple keyboard

  • Can you use the same Apple ID with multiple iMac's?

    I am a teacher and I have multiple iMac's in my room and I need to be able to purchase apps one time and have them on all my computers.  Is this possible?  I know that I can do it with multiple iPad's but can I do with iMac's?

    Yes logon to each computers itunes and away you go.
    To redownload on each itunes got to the itunes store, select Purhased from the quick links section and navigate to what you want to redownload.
    If you want to do it for apps that run on the Macs not on the iPad you need to login to the Mac AppStore and login with the same apple id and download apps that work on macs

    Can I use a non apple wireless hard drive with time Machine?

    Some NAS (network storage) systems do claim to support Time Machine, with varying levels of success. For example, the Synology units have this feature. They're not officially supported by Apple, though.

  • Using a non Apple Display with the Mini

    I am considering purchasing a Mac Mini.
    It will be installed in my living room and connected to my stereo to play music from iTunes.
    In this area I only have about 19 inches of width. So I'm looking at purchasing a non Apple display that will fit in this width.
    What requirements should I look for in a display (hopefully to avoid adapters)?

    Recommend you buy from someplace that has a good exchange/return policy.
    Thanks, I always do, especially with a display.
    Some places have a policy that requires a certain number of dead pixels before they will accept a return.
    I ALWAYS test a display with 'Pixel Tester' immediately. If I find ANY defective pixels I return the display, and I never say the word "pixel" to them.
    having one dead pixel that is white, for example, while all others show color, can be annoying.
    And hard to re-sell later. Look on ebay, you will find many ads for used computers and displays that say "No Dead Pixels".

  • Can I use two  non-apple displays on my G5? Is there an adaptor for this?

    I found a great deal on two non-Apple wide screen displays. I can hook up one to my G5 via the DVI port but can't use the second port--typically used by an Apple Display. Is there an adaptor that I can use so that I can use my second non-apple display?

    Can I use my Apple Express mdl A1084 with my Mac Pro instead of an airport card?

    Just to add to Kappy's post - AE will work with most wi-fi routers in Bridge Mode (which is what you wish to do).
    In Airport Utility, set the wireless config as below;
    In the Mac's network preferences, set to Ethernet, using DHCP and ensure the router's set to use DHCP.

  • HT1758 Can i connect my non apple laptop to my iMac and use the iMac as an extra/dual screen while using my laptop?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Target Display mode only supports Late 2009 and Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs, and Mid 2011 and newer iMacs to use them as external displays, but it only works over Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt, not Ethernet.
    Your PC needs Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt (depending on your iMac) to be able to use your iMac as an external display, so it is probably that you cannot use the iMac as an external display. Instead, look for information in the Internet about VNC viewers that allow you to do that

  • Can't pair my bluetooth Apple keyboard with AppleTV 3

    I just updated my AppleTV 3 to 5.2 and tried to pair my bluetooth Apple keyboard, but nothing is happening.  I've tried restarting the AppleTV, making sure all of my keyboard setting are set correctly (including being discoverable), and restarting the actual keyboard.  The closest I've gotten to success is if I turn off my keyboard, and then turn it back on while holding the "On" button for a few seconds longer--then the keyboard pops up under Devices and gives me the option to Pair.  When I select that option--I get the little daisy wheel for awhile, and then the keyboard listed under Devices disappears again.  A quick check to see if the keyboard is working proves that no long term connection has be made.  (Oh, and just in case--yes the batteries are fully charged).  What I'm curious about, is there a step by step procedure that I'm supposed to be doing to make this work?  It seems like it shouldn't be this hard.

  • Can I use a USB Windows Keyboard w/my iMac while running Windows in Paralle

    I have an iMac with Parallels and Windows 7. There's this one DOS program that I have to use for work, and it requires use of the function keys on a Windows keyboard. I know I can remap the keys on the bluetooth keyboard that came with my iMac, but just for simplicity, can I just go buy a USB Windows keyboard and expect that the function keys will work with this program?
    I don't know if the fact that OSX is running behind the scenes might prevent the function keys from being passed along to Windows and the DOS program.
    Thanks!

    VM will often 'disable' and not function with keyboard function keys as they would normally running Windows natively.
    That was one of my reasons for abandoning Fusion. All I could have and use was a "generic" keyboard and mouse, when the MS drivers in Windows I would have a lot of really handy useful keys for doing things.
    And I use MS keyboards for years, in OS X and then in Windows.

    You can load your RAW images to any iPad either using the Camera Connection kit that comes with two dongles. One for inserting an SD card from your camera to load the images. Or the USB dongle which you can connect the USB cord for your camera to the iPad to load the images. There are a few CF card readers that will work with the iPad if your camera uses those a Google search will feret them out for you. Additionally, you can also load images to iPad, iPhone or iPod touch (as well as laptops and desktop cumputers) using WiFi as you capture them using an EyeFi SD card.
    http://www.eye.fi/
    A good app for working with EyeFi on the iPad is Shuttersnitch (though, it does not coordinate with Lightroom)
    http://www.shuttersnitch.com/
    Unfortunately their isn't any RAW processing image editing software for the iPad that Lightroom can make use of the edits. Though there is an app called Photosmith that will allow you to rate, label, add keywords etc. then you can upload that info to Lightroom on your laptop or desktop cimputer and have that info synced to the images. You do have to transfer the image files themselves from the iPad to your workstation seperately.
