HT5636 I am using an Apple keyboard with numeric key pad.

I have a new Mac OSX 10.9.2. I am using Bootcamp to run WIndows 8.1.
I have just connected a new USB Apple keyboard with numeric key pad.
All works fine in OSX. But in windows the numeric numbers on the keypad wont work.
Numlock appears to work, but nothing happens when the number keys are pressed.
The keys / * - +and entre all work ok. Just not the numbers.
MIcrosoft SUPPORT REFUSED to help me because i am using a mac, they claim it is a hardware problem.

I would look for a program which would display the ascii value of typed letters
if i had the letter the key send one can assign that value to any other function one wish
https://www.google.dk/search?q=program+which+display+the+acsii+of+typed+letters& oq=program+which+display+the+acsii+of+typed+letters&aqs=chrome..69i57.11855j0j4& sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8#q=program+which+display+the+ascii+of+typed+let ters&spell=1
if the program would get no ascii value from the num keyboard then I suppose ms were correct
if not then there are tons of free programs to reassign keys as one see fit
and even if they were not to work one can do it manually in regedit in windows
like this

IMac Running Windows 7 - Wired Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keys

I dual boot using Boot Camp into OSX or Window 7. I wanted to use both my Apple Keyboard and Mighty Mouse, but the Mighty Mouse once it lost a connection I could not get it back easily so I switched to a Logitech wireless mouse. My wired Apple keyboard works except for the numeric keyboard to the right. There is no num lock so in WIndows 7 it thinks it is the function keys associated with a PC keyboard. Help.

Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & Windows, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forums are at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology. Here is a link;

Why doesn't my forward delete key work on my apple keyboard with numeric keypad?

I bought a wired apple keyboard with numeric keypad to pair with my Mac Pro (late 2013) and when I try to use the forward delete key, it does nothing. I have even tried to use the fn + delete shortcut and that doesn't work either. I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Again, waking up an old thread:
I first used an air compressor, set around 50psi, to "air out" all the ports.
Then I used a clean cloth to dab a bit of alcohol on an SD card's contacts... slid it in and out several times, dabbing a little more alchol each time... and voila!
All of our SD cards now seem to work fine... recognize, read, eject...
Also used alcohol to clean the contacts on all the cards.

Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad

My Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad stopped working after updating with Yosemite. I had to connect the Bluetooth keyboard. Am I the only one with this problem?

Hi Sam20051972,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
I understand how frustrating it can be when your USB keyboard is not longer functioning the way you would expect. The first set of troubleshooting steps I would recommend are the ones located in the attached article. Please use the article as a reference.
None of the keys on my keyboard work

Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad & Mighty Mouse questions

I apologize first for not knowing where the heck to search for this or post the question. (I searched the Apple site for info/downloads, as well as the Forums.)
I just picked up a wired kybd (A1243) and wired Mighty Mouse (A1152) from eBay at a pretty good price, but they came without any documentation or s/w. They seem functional, to the extent I can test them.
I'm planning to use these (for now) with my iBook (as a desktop), and later with an iMac.
I know there's programmable features to the mouse, and keys on the kybd I don't recognize, at the very least.
Could someone point me to the appropriate downloads? Thanks!!!

This is the original wired aluminum keyboard (with numeric keypad) software download (update) link. Make sure your 'Universal Access' mouse & trackpad function is deselected or your numeric keypad keys will not work.
Good luck.

Using New Apple Keyboard with Tiger

Hey all,
So I recently got one of the new Apple Keyboards
(http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB869LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg&mco=Nzk3NjM4NQ) for me to use with my Macbook, which is connected to an external display. However, the one problem I've been having is that it seems like the function keys are mapped differently between Leopard/SL and Tiger, so that when I press F12, which should be volume up according to my keyboard, Dashboard appears instead, which is what happens on my Tiger Macbook's actual keyboard. Now this would be fine and dandy as long as F5 corresponded to volume up as well, as it does originally, but f5 now refreshes my internet page. Is there any way to correct this? Thanks.

Check if reassigning keys in preferences > keyboard > keyboard shortcuts does anything
Not sure if this helps:
[DoubleCommand|http://doublecommand.sourceforge.net> is software for Mac OS X (a kernel extension) that lets you remap keys. Has a preset variety of key modifier remappings, specifically for adapting PC keyboards to Mac users.

Can I use an apple keyboard with my mini i-pad ?

Hi there, can anyone give me a link to download bootcamp? I want to use my apple keyboard with my windows7 machine. I'm surprised at just how difficult it is to find this!! Any help much appreciated!

Would really appreciate some help on this one. I've had a good search around... it's not clear to me where to get the 64 bit version of the driver install files.

Thanks for your reply CSound1.
I was using Windows7 so didn't have the stuff you mentioned. However I actually found that the keyboard pairs anyway.. apart from a couple of mappings (which I can live with) it all worked just like using any other wireless keyboard! Not sure why I thought I needed to over complicate things!
Just need to go into device manager -> Add New -> Press Keyboard power button to get ready to pair -> Select -> Enter Passcode -> Bob's your uncle!
Thanks for the help though!

I can't use my Apple keyboard with my ipad.

Can you help me. This happened quite recently, prior to which I was able to us the keyboard.

I'm certain you connect via Bluetooth. In Settings/Bluetooth, make your device is enabled. If still no go, disable the Bluetooth, then reenable it.
Post with your results!

Apple Keyboard with number pad doesn't work with Mac Pro?

I have a Mac Pro, and have used an Apple Keyboard with a number pad (not bluetooth) with it for quite a while, with no problems. But then my keyboard broke and I ordered a replacement Apple Keyboard with a number pad (not bluetooth). This keyboard doesn't work with my Mac Pro. I have it plugged in, but I can't get the Mac Pro to consistently recognize that there is a USB keyboard connected to it. What magical stuff do I have to do to get the keyboard to be fit for purpose?

It would not hurt to try an SMC Reset. (But if it does not help, it adds credence to lllaass assertion that the keyboard is not working.)

I know a lot of people have asked this question, but I could not find a anwser that works. I am using an apple keyboard with my windows 7 laptop. I could not change the delete key to delete, apple keyboard delete button is backspace, not delete. Of cause, I have to use the on screen keyboard to log in each time becaue there is no delete button on apple's keyboard. Can some one provide a simply method to convert my apple keyboard to windows keyboard? Thanks and I appreciate your help.

Are you using a wireless Apple kbd or USB keyboard?

Using Apple keyboard with Windows (bootcamp)

Does anyone have a cheat sheet for using a wired Apple keyboard with Windows 7 (the bootcamp setup)? I like to use keyboard shortcuts, both in OS X and in Windows. When I switch to my Windows partition, I haven't figured out the key combinations to use on the Apple keyboard.
UPDATE: Never mind. I found it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5636?viewlocale=en_US

Can i use a non-apple keyboard with my imac?

can i use a non-apple keyboard with my imac?

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
