HT5633 Old keyboard and Apple TV.

Should an old Apple Bluetooth keyboard work the the Apple TV? It's about a '07 I think. The one with te clear base and full number board.

Apple TV finds the keyboard, but somewhere in the pairing process, it quits. Are we missing something? The keyboard hasn't been used since the computer it had been used with died in '10

the problem will be apple tv box firmware not fully support wireless keyboard. Will need update.
I think it does fully support wireless keyboard, but only for English. As Apple tells you in the link I gave you earlier: "Apple TV uses the U.S. English keyboard layout regardless of the keyboard's hardware layout"
Hopefully they will fix it in the future.

New Apple Keyboard and iMAC

Okay, not sure if I am posting in the right place but here goes. Picked up two of the new flat keyboards from the Mac Store. Hooked them up, downloaded the keyboard software, and fully restarted the system. It works great.
My problem is when, during restart, I try to hold down option to switch over into Vista. Simply, nothing happens. The system starts up in MAC OS as if Im not holding down the key at all.
What do I do? Plug in the old keyboard and sell these on Ebay lol?

I had the same thing as you (that my BT mouse & keyboard were working but then after a while they started to act up -mouse freezing on&off, keys sticking-).
In my case the 'before' and 'after' was actually running the setup on the Bootcamp Utility disk that contains all the Bootcamp drivers. There must be a rogue driver on there that messed up my system. I ended up doing a reinstall and only installing the bluetooth drivers (that are also on the same Utlity disk, but in the $WinPEDriver$ folder. This at least worked for me.
However, by doing so I did not get the handy Bootcamp utility in the lower left corner of Windows that allows me to conveniently reboot and switch from Win8 to MacOS. I am trying to figure out if I can install that utility separately without all the drivers being automatically installed as well

Problems with new alum keyboard and orig acrylic keyboard on eMac

Hi ,
I need help , pls.
I just got an alum keyboard to use w/ my eMac.
I've upgraded software as instructed.
My numbers pad do not work.
ALso using a logitech wireless/laser opt. mouse. I had to download logitech's software ( never had to do this before ).
Being that I'm so used to the numb pad and wireless, I can't do any type of work w/o accidentally using the numbers pad.
In doing so, it freezes up. At one point I had all hardwired to the eMac ( new & old keyboard and mice ). The wireless mouse would have to be reinstalled after the machine would go to sleep and when I'd log out as a user.
I've tried to use systm. pref. and used "set keyboard to default". Using the flag (US and NOT extended ).
It's been a pain for the last few days. I went back and am now using my orig. acrylic /plastic keyboard that came w/ my eMac. Now this keyboard's num pad is not functioning anymore either.
Now..what I've done so far....
I've deleted the "dmg " file from the updated alum keyboard, and trashed all logitech's software.
I even ran applejack ( yes, I'm desperate so I did it.) I have a big workload ahead of me.
My old keyboard and logitech mouse is working except for the numbers pad.
What must I do ? Or what else can I do ?
I've called support and all the say is take the new keyboard to the store.
No one at apple support or has helped. "May be a batch of unsuitable keyboards".
I understand the part where you must use some things for the keyboard w/ an alum. iMac.
But those things i.e iPod, hub are not being used via alum keyboard's 2 ports , so I know that's not an issue.
My mouse ( not a mighty mouse ) and the logitech and old keyboard are hard wired to the eMac (machine's usb ports ) itself.
I need some help pls. Can someone pls. respond here or let me know of any similar problems and solutions you've made.
Thanks in advance.

Whenever new software is installed it is wise to run Disk Utility and to Repair Permissions. If you haven't done this try it and see whether there's any difference.
If you haven't tried yet plug the keyboard into a different usb port. If it works there it's possible that the other usb port is faulty.
My guess is that there's a software problem. So...
Try downloading the 10.4.11 combo update and installing this. You can do this 'over the top' of what's already there. Many users have found this resolves system software issues. You may need to re-apply other software updates released after this one. You can check Software Update to see which updates are necessary if any.

Is the Microsoft 5MH-00001 Wired Desktop 400 keyboard and mouse compatible with mac mini?

Hello, is the Microsoft 5MH-00001 Wired Desktop 400 for Business mouse and keyboard compatible with the mac mini computer? I tried using a generic mouse and the lights of the mouse were on, but I could not click or move the mouse around. Then when I plugged in a dell keyboard, it said the "keyboard is not identified". I could press buttons on the keyboard, but they werent being registered by the mac. I also tried changing my mouse's usb to a different port, but still did not work. So I am worried that the microsoft wired mouse + keyboard I ordered might not work on my mac mini. Is there a way to get my old keyboard and mouse to work at least?

Were these other ones you tried Wired also? If so that's really strange!?
Did you try rebooting with them connected?
I see no reason for the Microsoft 5MH-00001 Wired Desktop 400 for Business to not work, but then any wired Generic KB should work!???

Add an apple keyboard to apple tv

I need help to pair an Apple keyboard and Apple TV. The keyboard is currently paired to a Mac mini.

I do not have a KB attached to my Apple TV.....however, Bluetooth devices may only be paired with one thing at a time. Delete it from the mini first.

Dynabook C7 - Need part number for keyboard and touch pad

Hi there!
I have a few questions about my toshiba dynabook C7 laptop.
I want to change my old keyboard and touch pad as they do not work properly. The problem is that i can't find those parts because this model was delivered only for Japan market. So maybe somebody knows number of the models of those parts that might be suitable for my laptop? Or name of the laptop that is similar to my dynabook c7. The full model name is TOSHIBA DYNABOOK C7/212CMEN portege 4101 series
Thx in advance.
Cheers!

Hmmm... it can be pretty complicated. As you probably know it is not easy to get any info about those specific for Japan produced notebooks. I am pretty familiar with Toshiba notebook models and your notebook can be the same as Portege A100.
Google a little bit around and try to find info about Portege A100. I believe this notebook was offered in UK only.
Check also in Google - P000398500 G83C0001Q710 for Portege A100 series, Uk United kingdom keyboard.

HT1752 I have an old iMac (the rounded type with monitor). I need a new keyboard and mouse. Will any work? thanks for any help!

I have an old iMac for 2002....it's the rounded type that has an attached monitor. The software is way outdated (OS X 10) and I only really use now to access 3,000 plus songs and old video of the family. Both the keyboard and mouse no longer work. Am I able to use any keyboard/mouse and plug in using USB? Thanks for any help!

Most any USB mouse or keyboard should work. Borrow one if you can and just plug it in.
If the USB circuits are at fault then you can access via Firewire Target Mode with another Mac in order to get at the files.

Another alternative would be to remove the hard drive and use a USB adapter to access it as an external drive.

Mac Mini 2014 with Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse

Hi all,
I'm currently in the process of moving from my old MacBook to a Mac Mini 2014 and I have a couple of questions regarding functionality of the Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse with the Mac Mini.
As these are the only keyboard and mouse I have available to me as I currently only have the one computer in the house, I'm wondering how I will pair them with my new Mac Mini (arriving next week for Christmas) without a wired user input device (keyboard or mouse). When I paired them with my MacBook, I of course had its trackpad and keyboard to navigate through the various steps, but as the Mac Mini does not have these, how does the pairing process work? Will I have to get my hands on a wired mouse/keyboard? I'm asking in advance because I need to get my new system up and running to start work on 27th December and so I need to know if I should pick up a cheap wired mouse/keyboard in advance.
My second question relates to the Mac Mini, Apple bluetooth keyboard and Boot Camp. Usually, when I want to boot into Windows on my MacBook, I hold down the Option/Alt key on my MacBook's built-in keyboard to be given the choice of operating systems. Sometimes when I do this using the bluetooth keyboard, it hasn't paired in time and it boots straight into OS X, so I have to wait until that has booted, shut down and then try again. Clearly, this might be a problem on a Mac Mini if I have urgent work I need to complete in Windows, so rebooting over and over until my keyboard finally pairs in time isn't desirable. Any tips here would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help!

If you unpair your BT KB and mouse from the old computer they should pair during the initial setup of the Mini. However, sometimes they donot a wired KB and mouse is required. You can use any USB PC KB and mouse.
Once you get the BT KB to work you can use the Option key on the BT KB while booting to get your choice of OS to boot into.

Apple TV in Living Room and Airplay from Mac Mini .. what about Keyboard and Mouse?

Now I know that you can air play the mac mini to the apple tv, but before I go out and buy an apple tv I want to know something. My living room is a little away from the room where the mac mini is, how can I have the keyboard / mouse work with the apple tv to wirelessly control it? Do I have to buy an additional keyboard / mouse? Some people have mentioned the remote somehow works, but I need the keyboard and mouse to work, any tips from the pros?

I'm not a huge fan of Airplay Mirroring - what do you intend to use it for?
How old is your Mini and is it able to Mirror?
You need:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
Mac Pro (Late 2013)

Wireless Keyboard (original apple KB) and current bluetooth pairing

I have an Apple original wireless keyboard and when I try and pair it with a MacBook Pro with Bluetooth software update 2.3.3-f8 the MBP can see the keyboard but can not pair with it. I know the Keyboard is old but is there a way to get it to work with my current MBP running OS 10.6.4. For what its worth, the wireless mouse of the same vintage does work.

Yes you can have multiple Bluetooth devices connected simultaneously. I believe you have have up to 7 BT devices at one time.

I have Mac Pro 2007, which have no bluetooth hardware. What should I do to use Apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse??? Can 'third party's internal bluetooth card' be used for this purpose? Help please...

I have Mac Pro 2007, which have no bluetooth hardware. What should I do to use Apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse??? Can 'third party's internal bluetooth card' be used for this purpose? Help me please...

You can find the Apple Bluetooth card on eBay for as little ten dollars (says its for the 2008 model Mac Pro, not sure about the 2007).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bluetooth-Board-iMac-and-Mac-Pro-922-8233-922-8233-/1208 49278570
Here is a link to a full explanation of the card and how to install it. Part numbers may differ a bit as that is an old article and newer models have come out.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/Mac_Pro/Bluetooth_MacPro_install/Bluetooth_Ma cPro_install.html
Just make sure that the part will work in your model Mac Pro. To that end, you may be better off avoiding eBay and going to a parts reseller. There are even third party cards that use the internal Apple bluetooth slot.
http://fastmac.com/bluetooth.php
In theory, using a USB or PCI card will work at login so long as it is recognized by Apples drivers. You say you need to launch an application to use your current USB Bluetooth dongle? If it is not controlled by the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar then it must be using a third party driver of some sort. Unfortunately, I don't know off hand which USB and PCI cards are supported.

Startup keys with new Apple Keyboard and MacBook Pro

Upon powering up my Rev. A MBP, I hold down the OPTION key on the new Apple Keyboard to select my startup disk. Strangely, the startup went straight into the default startup disk that I have chosen previously. I didn't get to selection stage.
I tried with the old/white Apple Keyboard and my MBP keyboard and startup disk selector is A-Okay.
I hooked up the new keyboard to my new Mac mini and did the same thing and no problem.
Haven't tried with the rest of the startup keys like C or X yet with the MBP. Wonder is this a software bug between the MBP and keyboard.
Anyone with similar experience?

Actually, startup keys sequences do work with the Apple Wireless Keyboard (the old white one). I know because I have been using it that way with my Macs, PPC and Intel ones.
I tried Command-V, Command-S, Option, T, C and Shift on the new keyboard with my Rev. A MBP and it goes go straight into the Apple logo.
Swapped back to the old Apple Keyboard with my MBP and tried the keys above and no problems whatever so.
Hooked up the new Apple Keyboard to my new Mac mini and did the same keys without problems.
So, my conclusion is there something between the new keyboard and Rev. A MBP. Maybe someone with similar setup should try wha I did and see if they face the same issues.
