Apple Keyboards with Mac Mini

Hi guys.
I had a Mac Mini for some time and it was my first encounter with mac system and I must say I looooooooove it!
I just bought my apple keyboard cauz before I was using a normal PC keyboard. However I think there r some buttons not working. Aren't the "apple button" supposed to do something?
Also I find on the top under finder help that the shortcut is the square button with the ? button but when I press those two, nothing happens. Any help????
And one more thing... what's with the backlight feature that I found in system preferences, does the apple keyboard have a backlight in it???
Thank you in advance and sorry for the dumb newbie questions...

Hi Carol,
(In addition to Rob's excellent answer)
The Apple key is well known as the Command key.
Keys equivalents are easy to remember, but the general Mac behaviour is to use the Command key where Windows usually uses Control.
Keyboard Equivalents:
<table border=0><tr><td>Mac OS</td><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td><td>Windows</td></tr><tr><td>Control key</td><td> </td><td>⌃</td><td> </td><td>Ctrl key</td></tr><tr><td>Option key</td><td> </td><td>⌥</td><td> </td><td>Alt key</td></tr><tr><td>Command key</td><td> </td><td>⌘</td><td> </td><td>Windows key</td></tr></table>

Enjoy your new keyboard!

Windows USB Keyboard with Mac

Hello
Can I use my windows keyboard with my Mac mini or must it be compatible (driver)
And when where do I get the drivers?

If the keyboard is USB, it will work properly when you plug it to your computer. If it comes with a receiver, you will need the drivers that you can find in its manufacturer's site. If you can't find drivers for that receiver, you can't use the keyboard with your computer

Trouble pairing bluetooth keyboard with mac mini

I bought a generic bluetooth keyboard and I am trying to use it with a Mac mini using 10.6.8. The bluetooth setup sees "Bluetooth Keyboard" and connects to it. I enter the passcode on the keyboard, but after about 25 seconds it says "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. This configuration of Mac OS X and Bluetooth software could be invalid or unsupported." If I watch the bluetooth control panel during this process, it says it is connected and paired as soon as I hit "return" but then disappears when I get the message. I already tried trashing com.apple.bluetooth.plist and restarting. I made sure nothing was on top of the Mac, and turned off the WiFi on my router, but nothing helps.

Update: I tried to pair with my bluetooth cell phone. If I initiate the connection from the Mac, same thing. However, I was able to successfully pair and download pictures, if I initiate from the phone. ???

Problems pairing wireless keyboard with Mac mini

Hi,
I just bought a new Mac mini with wireless keyboard and mouse and cannot pair the wireless keyboard during the initial set up. Took out the batteries, turned off the mini, still doesn't work. I'm looking into borrowing a regular USB keyboard an running through the set up with this so I can get started. Is there another solution?
Thanks.

Isn't it great when you solve your own problems. The USB keyboard allowed me to get up an running. When I went to the bluetooth preferences, I set up the wireless keyboard and haven't had a problem since.

How delete on Windows with Mac keyboard?

I'm running Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro. I have a Windows program up that I need to use "delete," but nothing seems to work. Any advice?

If you have Acrobat Standard, it is Windows software. You cannot install Windows software on your Mac.
If it was purchased, get a refund.
If it was bundled, then you just can't use it.

Using Old AT Style Northgate Keyboard with Mac mini

I have just switched to Mac from Windows and I am having trouble figuring out how to use my favorite keyboard. It's a Northgate Omni Key 102 At style keyboard without a "windows" key and I don't know how to access Command, or Option with it. Is there any work around that will allow me to use this keyboard? I hope so because it is like an old friend and I would hate to have to retire it.
Thanks!

Hello Winston,
I'm sorry. Having been a Mac user for over ten years, but never having used a Northgate Omni thingie, I can't tell you how to make an apple/command or option key.
But I can tell you how to find out what the Mac thinks the keyboard is saying to it.
Go to System Preferences>International
Click on the "Character Palette" and "Keyboard Viewer" checkboxes.
At the bottom of the window, click on the "Show input menu in menu bar" checkbox.
On the menu bar you should now see a flag corresponding to your standard national keyboard (Stars & Stripes for US, Union Flag for GB, Tricolour for French and so on). Click on this, and on the menu you'll see "Show Keyboard Viewer". This gives a tiny floating palette which is an image of the keyboard. The character generated from each key is shown on the keyboard, and this changes as you press the modifier keys (command, option. control, shift and fn on laptops) singly or in combination. Look for the symbol of a square with a circle on each corner (ought to be on the bottom row next to or near the space bar. That's the Command or Apple key.
In the same way, the Option or Alt key is shown on the Keyboard Viewer as a symbol of a lower-case Y lying on its side (approximately). Similarly again, the Control key shows up as a giant circumflex accent, and so on.
Hope this helps,
Archie

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How to reformat usb flash drive after formatting it in mac

I know this might sound stupid but I used a 16gb kingstonflash drive for a backup for my macbookpro since there are only few to back up and I was thinking I can copy the backup files to an external disk after. With that said, I used the time machine and it said that it would erase everything on the USB. I clicked okand then once the flash drive was "made compatible", it started to backupbut the total file is 34gb so I can't use the flash drive as back up.
I tried reformatting the flash drive, but the total free space is 198mb and even if I removed the partition or erase ( I see a hitachiand kingstonpartition when I looked at the disk utility) it never goes back to the 16gb. I checked it with windows and the USB space is also 198mb out of 198mb (free space) I don't know where the 15.9gbwent.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Them do it on a Mac with Disk Utility.
On Windows you might have to first delete all the partitions before you can select Convert to MBR.
But try it on OS X.
Open Disk Utility with the drive connected and select the Top name of that drive in the left most area of the window.
Then in the Partition Layout drop down select 1 Partition. Then the Options... button will become active, select that button.
Select Master Boot Record and click OK. The format should already be MS-DOS (FAT) but if it isn't select that. You can give it a name or not. Then Click the APPLY button.

Apple Pro Keyboard with Mac OS 9?

I recently was given an Apple Pro keyboard model A1048. I've found that the specs state it will only work with X 10.2 or later.
Well I plugged it into my Mac OS 9.2.2 system just to see what would happen. Mostly the keyboard worked fine. But there are a few keys that don't work:
F16
Vol up
Vol down
Disk eject
and a couple of others in the group of keys on the upper right of the keyboard.
Is there any hope of finding software that will make the keyboard fully operational with 9.2.2?

Hi Gary;
That is one of the major restrictions with remaining on a outdated version of an operating system so much of the newer equipment just will not work because no one is supporting it any longer. So unless you have an absolute requirement to remain on OS 9 which is no longer supported, I would suggest that you look into migrating over to something a bit newer.
Sorry for jumping in here. But I just have to mention that I've been using OS9 since it first came, and I'm not getting rid of it. It's customised to pitch-perfection for my personal use, e.g. a lot of the extensions have been chucked out.
It's stable like a rock (and has been for several years) and its responsiveness is INSTANT -- the OS as well as the programs I use. Menues and dialogue boxes appear instantly. Text appears as I type. Most documents in most programs scroll in perfect synchrony with my finger movements on the mouse, irrespective of document size or the presence/absence of images and and tables (Photoshop is a bit slow with large files). The cursor ends up where I move the mouse, and not half-a-centimeter on the side, under, or wherever.
I have NONE of that as regular features in Tiger. Some programs work fine, others don't. The OS itself is noticeably more sluggish than OS9. I suggest you try the two systems side by side some day. You'll be surprised at OS9's superiority in terms of responsiveness. Sometime in the future, I hope to be able to tweak Tiger to OS9 standards. Fingers crossed.
Still, Tiger is beautiful, useful, more up-to-date, and no doiubt technically more well-adjusted to modern times, and thus it's also my main OS. However, that's mostly because new versions of programs require it, my printer does't have OS9 drivers, and more and more web pages require OSX browser. (Although the web works fine in OS9, at least for the most part, e.g. youtube, but secure banking doesn't.)
Personally, I'm a bit offended (perhaps a too strong word) when I ses suggestions (however well-intended) to migrate away from OS9, as if OS9 users don't know what they're doing. I boot regularly into OS9, almost daily, full well knowing what I do, and doing so because it offers me advantages that Tiger can't give to me.
The versions of MS Word (5.1), Photoshop (4/5), FileMaker (5), etc., that I use in OS9 have all the bells and whistles I need. I use them for professional purposes. They work smoother and quicker than any of the more recent versions, even though there are functions that are obviously technically more pleasing in later versions.
The only thing that's become a real problem is Unicode, which my OS9 programs don't support. Hence I have to do a bit of editing in Tiger versions of, say, Word, before I can disseminate a word file to others. But I don't mind. The time I save by having a smooth work flow in OS9 is worth it.
Sorry for the rant.

How to make garage band updated after re-imaging your Mac Book Pro

My MBP (15", early 2009 model, 8GB RAM, 1TB internal drive) showed in Software Update as not needing any other updates, and I downloaded from Apple's site directly and installed iTunes 11.1.5 rather than doing it via Software Update (I've had some glitches with the 'direct' install from SU in the past, so I manually download updates from Apple's support website instead).
Hoping Apple will figure out what's wrong with this version under 10.6.8...
