Extending F-Keys - is there a F-Key number pad?

I have the wireless apple keyboard which only has twelve f-keys. Does anyone know of a device like a number pad that would add some additional F-keys which I could assign actions to?
Please don't suggest the following - I am aware of these options and they don't resolve a very specific issue/workflow I am trying to enable.
1) just use the fully apple keyboard that have extended F keys
2) use modifier keys for your F keys for addition functions
I have tons of quick keys that I use across the OS, and across apps, and I am trying to find single key presses (without modifiers) that I can press to increase functionality and apple's multipurpose Fkey option makes my goals difficult?
Any suggestions? I love the wireless keyboard, but I just want to be able to add additional keys.
Thanks!

Check out the Belkin Nostromo N52... It's designed as a gaming input device, but it should suit your needs nicely. It has 14 keys (all programmable, even macros) as well as a scroll wheel, 8-way D-pad, and several other buttons.
I'm 99% sure they have OSX drivers for it...
Saitek makes something similar as well, but I don't know about OSX compatibility...

Bluetooth 10-Key Number Pad

Does any one know of an external 10-Key number pad that will work with Apples built in bluetooth.I have heard that many of the bluetooth number pads on the market do not work with the built in bluetooth in Apples machines. I do not want to use usb or an adapter of any kind. I want to pair it with the built in bluetooth. Just wondering if anyone has been able to pair one or know of one that will work. Thanks

Hello eb:
A Google search produced this (one of many) result:
http://www.google.com/products?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=bluetoothnumberkeypads&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&um=1&sa=X&oi=productresultgroup&resnum=1&ct=title
At least one of the BT number pads purports to be Mac-compatible. Since I have no interest in this device, i did not do any further research.

Where can I get a downloadable copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard? I have my original serial (key) number, but I lost my actual software.

Where can I get a downloadable copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard? I have my original serial (key) number, but I lost my actual software. I am trying to move my Adobe to a new laptop.

Actually, you are out of luck if you are looking for Acrobat Standard. I have run into a problem because the link is for Adobe 9.0 Pro and the serial no. for Std. won't work. I asked Adobe customer (chat) service for a downloadable of the Standard and they said they don't have one. Did you get the Std. version as part of the preinstalled software on your computer? If so, it would be on the recovery media of your old laptop but I don't know how you would retrieve it from there. I am in the exact same boat as you are. Let me know if you find out how to get the media for the Standard by responding on this thread. Thanks.

Need product key number for installed Robohelp HTML

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to determine which product key number
for Robohelp HTML X5 is used on a particular machine?
We have two X5 licenses here, but I only want to upgrade one
license on one machine. I do not know which product key number was
used to install X5 on either machine.
I'd like to maintain older projects using X5 and upgrade one
license to develop new projects using Robohelp 8.
From what I understand--and PLEASE correct me if I am
wrong--I can run both versions on the same machine as long as I
install in different folders.
Deb

I don't think there is any way of telling but suggest you
phone the activation people. If anyone knows, they should.

You can install RH7 on a machine with X5 but you will have
issues if you need to use RoboHelp for Word in X5. Importing Word
docs and printed documentation will still be OK.

Keyboard/ten key number lock

I just purchased a TrackPoint keyboard (55Y9053) and Ten Key (41A5090). When I plug the two into my computer the ten key number lock, locks the number pad on the TrackPoint keyboard. So when I go to type on my keyboard, letter keys I,o,p,j,k,l,n,m,, come out as numbers. Is there a way to get these to products to work together without the number lock from one affecting the number lock on the other? Thanks.

Hi, Rachel, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
A Num Lock light that stays lit is sometimes a symptom of a deeper problem. Try resetting your Powerbook's Power Management Unit. Does that help? If not, run the Apple Hardware Test from your Powerbook's original Install & Restore DVD, and let us know what AHT reports.

CS6 with Product key number but no serial number

I purchased CS6 from Adobe Support (email address: Help And Support <[email protected]>) and obtained a product key number but no serial number. How come? Is my purchase legitimate or did i get scammed?

Hi,
I don't know if anyone is still looking at this thread but I have just dealt with the same Adobe 'Help and Support' with the email [email protected] and found you when I looked to see if there was anything about them online.
My story as short as poss – I had problems running Photoshop Elements 11 after upgrading to Mac OS X Yosemite. Some people told me it could work, others no, so I tried to get some information from Adobe. I looked for 'Help' on Adobe.com and wrote in my enquiry on the recommended 'Chat' option. This morning I got a response and was asked if I was available to web chat about it on Skype. Everything was headed 'Help and Support' and all the Skype messages had a little Adobe logo with 'Help' by them – so I assumed it was all legit and I was actually dealing with Adobe.
They told me PSE 11 was incompatible with Yosemite but said that as an existing customer I could upgrade to PSE 13 for a discount. This seemed a good deal so I said OK. They said I could download it immediately but they'd need remote access to my computer. They started installing PSE 13 and though I started to wonder about how long they needed remote access for, things only began to look really weird when it came to paying, which was to a Moneygram account in India. Also I got a confirmation email from that adobe24x7 address.
By that time though I'd got so far into it I was worried what would happen if I pulled out, and so I went ahead and paid them (equivalent of $78 US). They told me they'll send a full serial number by email within 72 hours. When I said to them 'you're not actually Adobe are you' they said 'We have affiliation with Adobe through Commission Junction'. The named 'Support Manager' on the messages is Amrita Singh.
They finished the installation, and so far the PSE 13 seems to work fine. But like you I have no idea whether it is legitimate software or not. I called Adobe here in the UK and they say they have no connection with adobe24x7, didn't seem to have it on record as a scam address, but are going to get back to me.
I'm normally careful with scammers so this makes me feel really dumb. But – the big question – since they had access to the computer for so long, were they fishing for anything else? If they are real scammers this is a possibility. When I reported it to Adobe they told me to cancel the payment but I said I didn't want to in case adobe24x7 took any reprisals.
So, if CS5 and Yosemite is still reading – did they ever get back to you when they said they'd reimburse you? And have you had any other bad consequences since you were in contact with them, bank accounts, passwords being compromised etc?
Am wondering how much I need to panic! Thanks for any information....
And, a wider issue, shouldn't Adobe show a little more concern that their 'Help pages' are being hacked into so easily?

Adding Key Number data to clips

I need to generate a cut list with key code data for a neg cut for a commercial. I've never had to do this in FCP. I media managed my cut and was hoping to just manually input the key code info to the truncated clips and export a batch list or EDL. But I can't add data to the key number field.
Unfortunately, I'm in a bit of a hurry, so don't really have time to learn Cinema Tools from scratch. But we never had a telecine log from the original dailies, so that may be moot anyway.
Any ideas???

Rizza,
There are so many ways to do this but My suggetion is that u create one table OBJECT_ID_MAX in ur database and a class named OIDProvider.
OBJECT_ID_MAX contain 2 columns : First, for holding numbers. Second, for holding class name(not fully qualified)
This OIDProvider will responsible for inserting/reading from OBJECT_ID_MAX table. Whenever u want to persist ur object use this provider class to fetch data from the above specified table. If the data does not exists then insert the data from Zero or one depending on ur requirement. If the data exists then take the data increment it.
This might not saw u a better solution but in this case u dont need to depend on Database features. your code will work on any database and u have the control on Id generation.
The other solutions include Stored Proceures, Sequence(Oracle), Identity(SQLServer).

Where do I find the "key" number to set up airport express wi-fi to my direct TV?

I'm trying to set up my airport express so that my direct TV remote finds it and it says I need a special key number. Where do I get it? The password I entered for the wi-fi isn't what it's looking for.

DirecTV will not work if there are any special characters....like an apostrophe, asterisk, dollar sign, etc in the name of your wireless network or password.
In other words, if your wireless network name is something like
kakhi's network
You need to remove the apostrophe so that it reads
kakhis network
The same applies for your password
Do not exceed a total of 20 characters, including spaces, in the network name and password.
If you are using WPA2 Personal security settings on your wireless, try using WPA/WPA2 Personal, which is a more compatible setting with other manufacturers.

Number Pad Keyboard Keys wrongly mapped

Hi Folks,
Hope someone out there can help. I am using a Mac Full Keyboard, ie Number Pad included, and recently the * and / Keys on the Number have started producing ' (Single Quote) and ; (Semi-Colan) instead.
Is my keyboard knackered, or have I accidently remapped my keys?
Fingers crossed someone can help,
Treders

If I ddn't know better, & I don't, I'd hahly suspect any KB by Apple.
But then they've really messed up the OS, might try some workarounds...

Find your serial number quickly
You can activate software without following up and registering it... at least that was the case in the past. The serial number is normally located on the disc case or a box inside the main box. If you did not purchase the disc from Adobe then it is possible you would have dealt with a redemption code, in which case it would have been up to you to keep a record of the serial number, especially if you did not follow up and register the software.

No worries. Yes, you can perform an install of Vista with the DVDs that you have. You can reformat the hard disk as part of the installation.
Before you begin, go into the Device Manager to see which wireless adapter, graphics adapter and lan adapter is installed and write it down. Doing that will save you some time.
You will need the following DVDs from what you have stated the notebook was delivered with..
Operating System DVD Windows Vista Business SP1 (64-it)
Application and Driver Recovery DVD 32-bit & 64-bit for Windows Vista
Write down the twenty five character license activation key before you begin. Enter it when requested to by the Windows installation script. After the installation is complete use the driver disk to install the drivers. If HP Support Assistant is available on the driver and application disk, install that also.

In the box with the disk came the product key, have put it in and it doesnt work. Please help..x

unfortunately - you can not. you can't even buy outlook by itself at microsoft's own website.
does it have to be outlook? maybe you can get away with using something else that's outlook compatible.
how about trying Thunderbird for Mac OS?
or maybe you can call apple and let them know you purchase the wrong version - they might give you a break and just pay the difference for the home and business version.
good luck
