I have an Apple pro wired keyboard that I want to use with a Windows PC. It seems to recognize it through plug

I have an Apple pro wired keyboard that I want to use with a Windows PC. It seems to recognize it through plug & play, but stops working after a few minutes. Does anyone know of a fix to this situation?

Hi,
Could you explain that again using different words ?
I am not clear on what it is that you want to do.
What are you trying to sync ?
Contacts ?
Emails ?
Other info ?
If it is Mail who do you normally get it and what applications are you using ?
People also might want to know if it is a POP or IMAP account before they can help.

How can I reset my IPAD 2 to resolve the fact that Apple will not let me use the APPLE ID and passwords that I want to use becasue they may have been used in the past year. I am very close to donating this contraption to the Good Will.

I have been an Apple User for almost two decades and have had no problems with my G4 Powerbook, my Intel MacMini, nor several other Macs as well as Windows 7 machines. However, the IPAD2 poses a problem of unfathomable disgust with the concept and implementation of the Apple ID. There is one for the computer, there is one for support, and there is one for itunes, and possibly another one for apps. There are different passwords for each. I am continually faced with notification that my Apple ID is incorrect or the password is incorrect. I have to keep an Excel spreadsheet with all of this unnecessary NANNY State protection matched only in pervasiveness by the Federal government.
I am told that an Apple ID can never be destroyed and replaced. Who dreamed that one up? I am told I cannot use a password that has been used in the past year. Why? By whose authority? I am not a walking encyclopedia that remembers every telephone number he ever dialed. Thankfully my cheap LG clamshell telephone keeps numbers and talks to Ford Sync successfully.
Bottom line is that the IPAD has become almost totally useless since I cannot change the several necessary passwords to anything I can remember because they are not novel enough. I also never seem to be able to keep the Apple IDs straight as they are too numerous to remember and I don't want to remember them anyway. Why? Even if you enventually get the ID right you have the wrong password and have to go through a merry-go-round of emails to change the password to something you have already used in the past year which is not permitted.
Has anyone out there used a competitive device with less cumberson overhead? Surely this is not the best American technology can produce.
Thanks for your comments.

Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
Thanks for your comments.

I have an apple id for icloud that i want to change on my iMac, how do i do this

i have an apple id for my icloud on imac .....[email protected] and an apple id [email protected] for everything else. How can I edit my imac apple id so it is the same as my other id?

You can't merge accounts, if you start using the gmail account for iCloud by logging out of the me ID in system preferences and back in using the gmail ID, you'll need to copy all your data in calendars etc to the gmail account. you also won't be able to use the me address for mail unless you add the me account as a secondary account at system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars.

I have some old Boston Digital speakers from Gateway 2000 that I want to use with my Imac

I have a great set of Boston Digital speakers with a subwoofer that I purchased with a Gateway 2000 computer back in the day... the speakers are still in great shape and produce amazing sound.
Is there a way that I can use these speakers with my new Imac? Do I have to install a driver of some sort? Or could I just run down to radioshack and buy some sort of adapter?
I did some research already and they said that I needed to change my audio output to digital but I believe they were speaking about a Windows OS.
I appreciate it if someone else has run into this and can share some ideas.

Your BA 7500G sounds a lot like my "Digital BA735" 2.1 speakers that I purchased around '99 with my Gateway. I just purchased a new iMac a few weeks ago and thought I'd dig out my old speakers that still sound great. For about $20 you can purchase a converter, plug and cable from monoprice.com. Another guy had my same BA 735s and got them to work on his iMac with these same connections. The iMac headphone port is a special headphone/digital Toslink mini combination output. Therefore, you'll need the optical Toslink to coaxial (RCA) Digital Audio converter. If you haven't already gotten them to work, then soon you'll be enjoying those great sounding speakers again!
Monoprice.com (4 digit number is their product ID):
(2948) Optical Toslink to Coaxial (RCA) Digital Audio Converter. This is a powered unit, converting optical to a coax digital signal.
(7240) RCA Plug to 3.5mm Mono Jack Adaptor - Gold plated. This attaches to the "Coaxial Out" of the Converter. After this RCA Plug is connected to the converter, you'll then attach your "green" headphone plug you cite above into the other side of the RCA Plug.
(1556) 3 ft Toslink to Mini M/M 5.0mm OD Molded Cable. This runs from the iMac's headphone port to the "In Optical" port of the Converter.

HT5569 I have a new apple id, i'm trying to verify it, but the e-mail I used to set up the old ID is the same that I want to use with the new ID and I get an error message. How can I remove the old ID. i just need one.

I had an Apple ID, but forgot my password. I created a new Apple ID. I belive I used my hotmail account for my apple ID, but I need to remove it, because the information I used do not let me set up my new Apple ID

Why don't you just go to https://iforgot.apple.com and reset the password on the original ID?

I have a set of drum samples that I want to use as one of the drum kits in Garageband. How?

Hi there
I don't know what this is called so I havent been able to search for it online.
I have a set of WAV drum samples (kick, snare, hihat etc all as individual sounds) that I would like to use over an entire song as the drum kit for the song.
Meaning when I play the notes on my midi keyboard I can hear the sounds using garageband.
Or if I have played the drums already and created a midi track in GB I can select this entire set of sounds as the drum kit.
Is this possible and if so how do I acheive this please?

Why when I try and login to iTunes with my apple ID it says that it hasnt been used with iTunes store before and then does nothing?

I just got a apple ID and an iPod touch and when I'm trying to sync it to my iTunes and try and log on it says that my apple id hasnt been used in iTunes store before and wont let me do anything...?

No iCloud account previously. Message suggests I need to give email address in account username/I'D which isn't my Apple ID which is something different to an email address?

Has the Apple Store stopped selling wired keyboards that suppot 10.6.7?

Has the Apple Store stopped selling wired keyboards that suppot 10.6.7? I only see wireless keyboards that require at least an operating system of 10.6.8. My iMac was purchased in late 2007 and I don't think I can use a wireless keyboard on it.

Almost any wired (usb) keyboard will do. Stick "wired keyboards for mac" into a google search and pick one. Better that using BT anyhow since you always have a connection even if you loose BT. Ditto for the mouse. I keep a wired mouse as a backup to my magic mouse. I only use a wired (non-apple) keyboard.

This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.

You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that. iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

I have a WD 2 tb hard drive that I want to use to back up my Mac Pro quad core. How do I create a back up startup disk? Also, when I used Time macine, it only backed up users and not the system or library folders. Ideas?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Time Machine should be enough to make a backup of your files. Also, it should back up all folders, so open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options, and make sure that there are no folders included in the excluded items list.
If you want to create a bootable clone of your hard drive, you need to use an app like Carbon Copy Cloner or the Disk Utility's Restore feature > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU7.html

So I have a MacBook Pro 2013. That won't turn on and won't charge.

So I have a MacBook Pro 2013. That won't turn on and won't charge. When the charger is plugged in the light remains green as if it is fully charge. Before it died the laptop still recognized the charger but wouldn't charge. And now won't turn on.

If you've a 2013 model, depending on when you purchased the machine, I would suppose that you're still under warranty or at least purchased AppleCare? Regardless, I would take the kit to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the computer (and, if you're still under warranty, fix the computer) and, if necessary, give you an estimate for repair.
There are all sorts of things that could be wrong - a faulty adapter, bad cabling, even the entire electrical circuitry may have gone bad.
You won't know unless you had an Apple tech look it over.
Good luck,

I have one key on my keyboard that I have to punch hard to get it to work. How do I fix this?

I have one key on my keyboard that I have to punch hard to get it to work. How do I fix this? Does a laptop have the same capability to pop off the keys and clean them like desktops do?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Connect the external drive and open a Finder window pressing the Finder icon in Dock. Then, drag the folder to Finder, so it will be copied to this external disk.
If you can't copy this folder, probably you have to format the external disk or use an app that allows you to write in that external drive. Mac OS X can't write in NTFS external disks

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

Wired keyboard that is compatible with the IPad 4 and/or IPad Mini

Is there a wired keyboard that is the size of the blue tooth keyboards that would be compatible with the IPad 4 and/or IPad Mini.

In general, USB connected keyboards are not supported. However, if you do a Google search, some users have successfully connected a USB keyboard. Sometimes a USB powered hub is needed because the keyboard takes too much power. Also, some of the keyboard special keys may not work.
