  • Ultra thin usb keyboard brightness lock

    My keyboard got cleaned by my son while connected and now when I press the dedicated brightness up or down key the symbol appears on screen with a lock underneath. So the adjustments can not be made on either key.
    I can make adjustments via the system preferences/displays just fine but the lock symbol persists.
    I tried going to ../keyboard and restoring defaults and that doesn't work for me either.
    Can someone please help me turn the lock off?
    Thank you for all your help.
    Alan

    This whole affair happened with the log on screen up, which is why I found it so puzzling. I had tried unplugging the keyboard and restarting but that didn't fix it. Finally in .../display/options the box "disable brightness button" was selected, deselecting this resolved the issue for me.

  • Keyboards: Macally USB slim vs Apple Ultra-Thin vs Kensington Slimtype

    Hey all,
    I'm about to buy a G5 to supplement my slowly-dying Powerbook, and these standard Apple keyboards are terrible, and I love the new slim keyboards. However, there's of course a plethora of options, each with similar reviews, and I was wondering what everyone had to say about these three competing models (and, perhaps, where to get the best deal on one, perhaps used).
    Anyone care to weigh in?
    Thanks!
    Alec

    Only thing I can bring to the table is that I'll never buy a Kensington Wireless anything anymore, well, actually, you couldn't give me a Wireless KB of anykind.

  • PC Insert key equivalent on the ultra thin apple keyboard (german layout)

    i was working on a windows server 2008 via a remote desktop connection using CoRD.
    somehow i managed to activate the overwrite mode (where you don't normally type but overwrite everything right hand side of the cursor).
    and i struggled to deactivate because i couldn't find the key.
    (as a workaround i was able to deactivate using Fn+m on the builtin keybaord of my MBP). but how can i do that with my external keyboard?
    i surely have activated it with this external keyboard, so there must be a way to disable it.
    some googling turned out it's the "help" key. but since this ultra thin keyboard doesn't have any help key but a Fn key at that position. (the Fn+m combo has no effect when pressed on the external keyboard).

    Hallo neongrau,
    according to this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1216 it's fn + enter.
    Hope it helps
    Regnet's bei euch auch gerade ?

  • Apple Final Cut Pro Retrofit Ultra Thin Alu Keyboard

    Hello there, I've just got a Apple Final Cut Pro Retrofit Ultra Thin Alu Keyboard to help me learn the shortcuts to FCP, but it has no instructions on the colours as to make it easier for me to quickly identify the short cuts, ie is it option-click, comd-click, cnt-click on the selective keys. If you know what I mean. Do the colours Identify what comd key I use?

  • Apple ultra thin keyboard: how can I hit F9 ??

    Hi Folks,
    Darned if I can figure this out: how can I use F keys on the ultra thin keyboard while using Windows via Boot Camp--I need the standard F keys for Windows uses, but cannot figure out how to make them work.
    Many thanks in advance for asking such a silly question.
    Cheers, Doug

    Nevermind--I found the checkbox in the Boot Camp preference pane in Vista, duh...

  • 2011 Lion ultra thin keyboard PC shortcuts

    I just got the most recent 2011-2012 Lion version of the Apple Ultra Thin wired keyboard for Christmas but it seems some of the keyboard shortcuts that used to work with Windows don't work anymore. I can't seem to find a page that shows the correspondances like there exists for the older Apple keyboards.
    Can anyone point me to a new reference? Thanks!

    OK, after a couple of weeks I can confirm the following:
    1. The two ultra-thin keyboards I own both have the same model number: A1243, EMC #2171. However, the unique identifier (serial?) on the underside is different.
    2. The older one was purchased less than two years ago and the new one is 2 weeks old.
    3. I plug the old one in and all the PC shortcuts work.
    4. I plug the new one in and none of the PC shortcuts work.
    Can anyone in this universe explain why this is so? Thanks!

  • Bootcamp and iMac Thin USB keyboard issue....

    I work at a university where we have several labs that are setup with iMac's that have been made dual boot for obvious reasons. Everything has worked without a hitch, until the upgrade from Leopard/Vista to Snow Leopard/Win7. Since upgrading, most of the computers still work, however we are having issues right now where the Mac keyboard will not respond until the computer is up and running. We can no longer do ANY key commands prior to loading into the bootcamp OS Picker. Beyond that, whenever we try to run Win7 on a handful of machines, the computer goes to a black screen asking which OS we would like to run with only showing the valid Win7 option. Normally choosing this option would cause Windows to load, however, the Mac keyboard still remains unresponsive. If we plug in ANY other branded keyboard, this screen doesn't appear, and Win7 loads just fine.
    Upon getting into Windows/Snow Leopard, the keyboard works just fine.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this? Is it a setting that we have missed somewhere along the lines? Has someone or something possibly altered the way EFI responds to the keyboard?? What could be happening? It is very puzzling that ANY other branded keyboard has no problem, but any of the Mac Thin USB keyboards we try all have the same results....

    After some more testing, it appears to be an issue with the bigger aluminum USB keyboards with the number-pad on them. We have replaced the keyboard with one of the small aluminum ones (sans number-pad), and we now have all the EFI key commands working again. We have also tried a Dell and a Gateway keyboard, and these all work as well, we can even get these to trigger a Net-boot.
    Apparently there is something that is drastically different with the "Large Aluminum Keyboard with Numeric Keypad" that is causing it to not work as intended. Everything was fine UNTIL we boot-camp was installed and now this specific "style" of keyboard is not working. We have tried 3 different keyboards of this style, and they all yield the same results of nothing.
    Now poses the question what do we do, as EVERY Mac that we own has the "Large Aluminum Keyboard with Numeric Keypad". At this point, it seems like my only other option is to contact Apple Care and see what could be causing the problem....

  • IPad can't discover logitech ultra thin keyboard cover

    My iPad 2 wouldn't start up this morning. It was replaced at the Apple store and, while setting it up, I upgraded to iOS 7.6. After finishing setting it up, I tried to connect to my Logitech Ultra Thin Keyobard Cover, but it does not show up under devices. I've turned the keyboard off and on several times, but no luck. I shut it down and started up again, but same problem. Everything else seems to be working fine. I really need to be able to use the logitech keyboard since I've integrated my iPad into my teaching and other professional activities. Any ideas? is this an iOS 7.6 issue?

    Well, nevermind. It's been automatically connecting for so long I completely forgot there's a bluetooth button...

  • I need a way to get usb thumb-drive securely recognized as a apple keyboard

    I posted this question over at Developer Discussions also, just to get more eyes on it, not to be disruptive.
    So, I would like to utilize a maximum-length Admin. password (255 characters?) without having to manually type it in each time I login, install/update software, or for any other reason. The perfect situation would be some type of script or software installation onto a USB pen drive (2 gig sony)which is inserted into the macbook (via usb) when the Leopard Login screen appears. It logs me in, then, afterwards, it creates a clickable icon on the desktop that achieves the same goal (entering a long admin password securely). And all of the above is achieved using the built-in security of Keychain access, without having to continuously mount and unmount the drive.
    Searching google produces many expensive products that do not fit: Securikey, omnikey, smart cards, tokends, and on and on. They seem to have figured this out at microsoft - not that it matters much, except that it appears to be possible.
    One problem is that a USB thumb drive is not mounted until after login, it seems, but, I plugged in a friend's usb apple keyboard from the year 2000 and was able to type in my password at login. And, an email reply elsewhere suggested writing a daemon (that constantly runs in the background of the operating system) that could recognize the drive and accept a script from it that inputs the password and executes the 'enter' command.
    I don't know how to write daemons yet, but I can stumble around a bit with bash and applescripts, and I can copy any Xcode project out of a book and make it run properly. I'm a beginner.
    This project might create security issues for my operating system, but I'm really not concerned about that because this is a computer I don't rely on and can safely perform experiments on. And I would like to use this as an opportunity to learn - so I'm going to give it a whirl anyway - unless someone has already accomplished something similar. In that case, why reinvent the wheel and plug it into the wall, eh?
    Basically I am asking for help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    You don't need to get deep into programming to do much of this.
    launchd, the background process that's responsible for launching most of the background processes on your machine, has the ability to launch a script based on disk mount events.
    StartOnMount <boolean>
    This optional key causes the job to be started every time a filesystem is
    mounted.
    So you could create a LaunchDaemon script that watches for a disk mount. When a disk is inserted your script is fired off. You'd need to perform some verification to ensure the disk is, indeed, your USB stick and not some other device, then it can trigger the rest of the login process. Off hand I'd look to osascript to run an AppleScript-based keystroke, but there may be other ways, too.
    One big question relates to securing your password. Clearly you can't store it in the script, so you'd have to read it from somewhere. You also can't store it on the USB stick unless you somehow encrypt it (otherwise someone can just look at the files on the USB stick and get your password), but AppleScript can use the keychain, too, although I'm not sure what keys would be available prior to login, so it requires some experimentation.

  • USB Apple Keyboard no longer working on MacBookPro

    Hi,  I have a 15" MBP 2013 retina w/ lion 10.8.4
    I use a external apple keyboard with a numberpad.
    A couple of days ago the keyboard stopped working on this laptop.  They keyboard works fine plugged into any other device.
    The USB ports are working, as I can use a thumb drive in any.
    I can't get the keyboard to work in any USB port or my Thunderbolt Display.
    To my knowledge nothing really changed.  I brought the laptop to my desk like normal, plugged everything in, but the keybord just won't type.
    I have reset PRAM and etc.  I have powered off and on multiple times. No luck.
    Do you guys have any idaes?  I need my external keyboard to work ASAP as I use the extra keys for work.
    Thanks.

    Have you checked to see if you are fully updated, check the Mac App Store Updates...there is a Thunderbolt firmware update out...see if that helps.

  • How to Use Home+End Key on new short usb apple keyboard on XP

    How to Use Home+End Key on new short usb apple keyboard on XP
    now i use macbook and new short apple keyboard.
    it hasn't Home and End key. i try to use Fn + -> , Fn + <-
    it cann't do that. How can i set the Fn + <- be Home key
    and Fn + -> be End key like on my macbook keyboard
    thank you for answer

    Easy, no need to be harsh. I might not be a Level 9  Discussions user, but I’ve been an Apple Technician for more than a decade now. So believe me, I know what I’m talking about. Be it OS X Server or emptying the Trash. But even I come here from time to time to learn from others. Well, back to topic and being a little more specific:
    The 'My Info' setting always belongs to the first iCloud account you add to an iOS device. In this account you create at least 1 contact, the one you will be using for 'My Info'. You then do the same on your other iOS device using NOT the same iCloud account, of course. You only need to enable contacts syncing in iCloud preferences for these primary accounts. From here on you can use differing 'My Info' on your 2 iOS devices without a problem.
    But you may know that you can use more than one iCloud account at a time. Only the primary one will offer all iCloud options like Photostream. But what they all offer is contacts, calendars, etc. So if you intend (and I did) to share these 2 between your devices you can add them using a second iCloud account to both of your iOS devices. This makes it 3 accounts all in all. You could even go further and add another one just for 'Find my iPhone' if you like.
    I would’ve used the built-in sharing of Calendar.app instead, but Contacts.app does not (yet) offer sharing contacts with others. That’s why I went with the third iCloud account as a secondary account to both iOS devices.
    Apple of course recommends using just one Apple ID for everything to make it easier. But in some scenarios this just won’t cut it, which is even described in one of their support documents.
    I hope that now you have an idea what I’ve done…
    Good night
    Björn
    PS: It would be nice if people did not insist on being right. They too can sometimes learn something!

  • Leopard 10.5.6 Causes Apple Keyboard USB Devices to Lose Power While Asleep

    My Apple keyboard's left usb port does not supply power to any device connected while my mac is sleeping. I have my iphone connected there to charge at night while the machine is sleeping --to save power. Before updating to 10.5.6 this was not an issue. This problem has been noted by others, but I have not yet seen a proper solution. Can anyone help?

    Just want to add my name to the list. This is exactly the same thing I've experienced with my iPod Touch 2nd gen. I started noticing the battery was half gone when I left it plugged into my keyboard USB port while the iMac was in standby mode. It was always fully charged +before the 10.5.6 update+. I've now had to remember to disconnect every time my iMac enters sleep mode. Which is, of course, annoying.
