Installing old wireless keyboard drivers on a new bootcamp?
I wanted to share an experience of keyboard problems with windows 7 and bootcamp, and then ask a question about bootcamp on my soon-to-arrive shiny new iMac.
Current machine: Core 2 duo 24" iMac mid 2007; Mavericks; bootcamp created with version 3.0, but then upgraded for Windows 7
Yesterday did an upgrade install from Vista to Windows 7 and installed the latest bootcamp version 4 drivers. (this was a 32 bit not 64 bit setup - since the Vista I upgraded from was 32 bit).
I then had driver problems with my 2007 vintage wireless keyboard... The keyboard would work for a moment or two, but then stop. It was still paired, but nothing you typed showed up in Windows. (It worked fine in OSX of course...)
Eventually after huge amounts of googling some page gave me the idea of changing the driver for the keyboard.
If you go to Control Panel -> Device Manager -> Human interface devices -> Apple Keyboard then right click and select "Update Driver Software", then select "Browse my computer", then select "Let me pick", you get a list of all the driver versions that have ever been installed on your computer for that peripheral. Because I had started out with a Bootcamp 3 installation, which I'd then updated, the version 3.0.0.0 apple keyboard driver was still in the list of available drivers. Selected that, and bingo, the keyboard worked perfectly.
Only issue is, I've just bought a nice new iMac (arrives next week) and I can't see how I can get the version 3 keyboard driver onto it's boot camp. I want to set boot camp up from scratch, so that I can have 64 bit windows running. But if I do that Boot Camp Assistant 5 will install the very latest drivers, presumably including an apple keyboard driver that doesn't like my old wireless keyboard. And while the bootcamp 4 and subsequent driver sets include separate .exe files for different things (including the keyboard), the 3.x drivers were just a single executable. And if you try to run it on top of a more recent set of drivers, it just tells you it isn't needed and stops.
Question: Any idea how I can install the 3.0.0.0 keyboard driver on a brand new iMac with Bootcamp 5.0 set up?
(For various reasons I've ordered my new mac with the wired keyboard, but I might still sometimes want to use it with my old wireless one).
It depends on which version of LP9 you own.....
If you don't already own an earlier version you cannot buy Logic Pro 9 any longer from Apple.. It is discontinued....
If you do own an earlier version then...
App Store version? Just sign into the Mac App Store... using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic in the first place...and Logic Pro 9 will be found under the Purchase Tab for you to click on and download..
DVD Version? Install via DVDs .... If you don't have a DVD player in your Mac you will need to purchase an external one.... or use another Mac which has a DVD drive using Remote Disk
DVD or CD sharing: Using Remote Disc
Install....
Do not run Logic but instead....
Update to 9.1.8 via this link....
Logic Pro 9.1.8
Now launch Logic....

I bought a new wireless keyboard 3 days ago and the number "1" key is not responding. My old wireless keyboard did the same. What am I doing wrong with the setup or installation.

How do I install dell v305 print drivers on my new macbook pro?
how do I install dell v305 print drivers on my new macbook pro?
Dell's drivers are only for Windows. If you can find out who makes the printer and what model it is, then you may be able to find OS X drivers for it. Or you can see how well it works using the Generic driver.

New Mini and old wireless keyboard must be 1" apart?
I just bought a brand new Mac Mini to replace older model of same. My old Apple wireless keyboard (probably 1st gen - the battery compartment is on the bottom) was working fine with old Mini, but with the new one, the keyboard loses connection unless the Mini and the keyboard are virtually touching each other. Move the keyboard a few inches away and connection is lost. I've taken all updates, including a BT firmware update, and still the problem persists.
Do I have a bad BT radio in my new Mac Mini?Resolved. I took the Mini into the Apple store, and the Genius Bar discovered that, when they installed additional memory, that the cable connected to the Bluetooth antenna had disconnected.

Should I have purchased a wired keyboard?
First make sure the batteries aren't dead and that the keyboard hasn't already been paired with another device. If it hasn't, the keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
Otherwise see these support articles:
Mac mini (Mid 2011 and later) and iMac (Late 2012): Bluetooth keyboard may not pair during Setup Assistant
Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
If you have a third-party Bluetooth keyboard, you may need a wired keyboard to complete the pairing process. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable. -
I recently bought a Palm Tungsten E2. I have been unable to install the Universal Wireless Keyboard software that came with the E2. Went online and downloaded the version 1.13 UWK and that would not install either. What did I do wrong?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2For Vista that version will not let you install programs. Good news though is we have a version you can. Go here, http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk62.html and install this on top of the version you already have. There is going to be a few changes on the desktop, there is no quick install, but the install tool.
Once you have that done just double click on keyboard and it will ask you your hotsync name and sync and your done.
Oh as a side note the check if this is your solution is only if the answer solves your original question.
Message back if you have more question or need more help

Wireless keyboard in XP w/o bootcamp
Hi guys, I've problem pairing the keyboardon my desktop.... is there anyone who has any solutions for it?
I've tried installing the apple keyboard installer (taken from my MBP which is running vista) but the program would not run.
Note: this is a desktop running on XP only, bluetooth is using a D-link dongle
Message was edited by: sidekickythe apple keyboard installer doesn't do much unless you also load the bootcamp control panel along with it
but I doubt that's your problem.
if your d-link dongle is based on a broadcom chipset, try going to the broadcom site and downloading the latest version of the widcomm software. I did that when I borrowed a friend's Jabra usb BT adapter and that got it going for me when I was playing with it on my Dell -
White A1016 wireless keyboard not pairing with new MacBook Pro
I still have (and love) the original white bluetooth Mac keyboard (model A1016, with numeric keypad and function keys). It won't pair to my new MacBook Pro. It's discoverable, appears in the list, I can select it and try to pair. Then it sits with the spinning wheel for some time before giving up.
Oddly, if I press "return" during the spinning, it (very) briefly displays the passcode, but of course by then it's too late, and fails saying that I got the passcode wrong!
This appears to be a Bluetooth system preference problem - is anyone else seeing this?
This Apple technote suggests that this keyboard should work with iOS, whereas the original aluminium one doesn't (although it's not entirely clear)... if it works with iOS, I can't see why it won't work with OS X 10.8.4!My old Bluetooth Mighty Mouse won't work with my newer MBP running Mountain Lion, either. I suspect that the keyboard is incompatible with your new machine/OS X 10.8.x.

IOs4 doesn't recognize old white plastic apple wireless keyboard?
I have IOS4 installed and it pairs with the new apple aluminum bluetooth keyboard with no problem. When I tried my old white plastic huge apple wireless keyboard, my ipod touch can see it, but when i try to pair it, it just keep doing the circle and then after a while fails to pair. I searched online, and almost no info except for one thread which seems to say that it won't pair with the old wireless keyboard even though it will see it. Is this true?

Pairing new wireless keyboard to imac?
Old wireless keyboard crapped out; replaced with a new one. My iMac is password protected and the keys on the old aren't working so I'm trying to figure out how to get past sign on screen to pair up the new keyboard. Please help me!
If you have a USB keyboard & mouse - even from a PC, they can be used with your iMac. Although juxtaposed in relation to the space bar (when comparing a Mac and Windows keyboard), the Windows logo key functions as the Apple Command key and the Alt key is the alt/option key. This should solve your problem. I assume that a battery change in the old wireless keyboard didn't make a difference.

Cannot get new Apple wireless keyboard to pair
I've followed the "how to" document but it does not work -- I'm assuming those instructions applied to the previous generation apple wireless keyboard, but not the new aluminum series.
When I "Add new connection" (either Express or Custom mode) a dialogue box pops up asking me to enter a PIN on the keyboard and press enter. I enter the number given, but I get an error message that authentication "went wrong." I've heard that I need to enter a PIN of 0000 for the keyboard to work, but the Toshiba Bluetooth stack doesn't seem to want to let me choose my own PIN - it always chooses for me.
I have uninstalled the Toshiba stack and tried the XP SP2 stack -- it works with the new apple keyboard when a PIN of 0000 is used. Unfortunately, the XP SP2 stack doesn't have the other profiles I need so I can't really use it.
Has anyone figured this out?So you have entered the according PIN code into the Bluetooth keyboard (not the PC keyboard ! ) and "Link Level Security" was enabled - Is this correct ?
Which Apple keyboard model do you use ?
