Is there available for iMac OS X version 10.4.11 700 MHz Power PC G4 a wireless keyboard and mouse combo?

Is there a wireless keyboard and mouse combo anywhere available for iMac OS X version 10.4.11 700 MHz Power PC?

All the keyboards I'm finding require built-in Bluetooth, something G3 iMacs don't have. So you'd need to start with a Bluetooth USB adaptor like this:

Its specs says it works with Mac OS 10.3.9 or newer. The you should ba able to add a wireless board and/or mouse IF you find one that has support for a Mac OS level older than 10.5 or an Intel processor. Most current boards require 10.5.8, and Intel processor, or both.
The cost for all this could easily be 4-5X the used market value of a G3 iMac so please think this through carefully. A long USB extension cable might be a better option fo such an old computer.

  • HT1752 I need to transfer files from an 'original' iMac to a brand new one. The old Mac has no keyboard or mouse. Could it support a current wireless keyboard and mouse?

    I need to transfer files from an 'original' iMac to a brand new one. The old Mac has no keyboard or mouse. Could it support a current wireless keyboard and mouse?

    Assuming that "original" means a G3/CRT iMac, not wireless. The G3 iMacs didn't have Bluetooth. The good news, though, is that any standard USB keyboard and mouse will work with them, even the ones designed for Windows that you can pick up for ten bucks or so.

  • Wireless Keyboard and Mouse how to for XP Bootcamp

    The promise of running Windows XP was marred by my inability to get the wireless keyboard to function in Windows during startup. Judging by the number of posts on this issue, I am not the only one who is frustrated. While didling with this issue I developed a sure fire, if somewhat un-Apple and in-elegant, way to get them to work.
    First you need to create a driver disk using the latest version of Bootcamp (I used version 1.1.1) and install them under XP using a wired keyboard and mouse.
    Now re-install the Apple Bluetooth drivers to make sure you have the latest version:
    1. Boot into Microsoft Windows.
    2. Open the Control Panel and select Bluetooth Devices.
    3. In the Hardware Tab, click Apple Built–In Bluetooth.
    4. Click the Properties button.
    5. Click the Driver tab.
    6. Click the Update Driver button and the Hardware Update Wizard will appear.
    7. Choose "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)".
    8. Deselect "Search Removable media".
    9. Select "Include this location this search".
    10. Click Browse.
    11. Navigate to c:/Program Files/Macintosh Drivers for Win XP/BthKicker/
    12. Once the update is done, reboot.
    Next we need to add the Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard (and wireless Mighty Mouse if you have).
    1. If you are using a desktop Mac, connect a wired USB mouse and keyboard.
    2. In windows, open the Control Panel and select "Bluetooth Devices".
    3. Turn Bluetooth Discovery to "On"
    4. Make sure your Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard is on.
    5. Click the Devices Tab.
    6. Click the "Add"button.
    7. When the "Welcome to the Add Bluetooth Device Wizard" window appears, select the "My device is set up and ready to be found" checkbox, then click Next.
    8. Locate the keyboard in the list the Wizard provides, then click Next.
    9. Connect and select the "Let me choose my own passkey" option.
    10. Enter "0000", then click Next.
    When the process has completed successfully, you will see this message: "The Bluetooth device was successfully connected". You should now be able to use your keyboard.
    On your next reboot in Windows, the logon screen will come up and neither your wireless mighty mouse or wireless keyboard will work. To activate the mouse, click one of it's buttons once or twice and it will start after a couple of seconds. unfortunately keyclicks will not start the keyboard.
    To get it to activate, turn the keyboard upside down and use the switch to turn the keyboard off and back on again. Wait about 6 seconds and voila! As I said, not elegant, but definately a lot better than having 2 keyboards. It would be nice if Apple could modify the firmware to start the keyboard when a key is pressed, just like the mouse.
    Have fun!

  • I have 2 iMacs in my home, both with wireless keyboards and mouses.

    I have a problem where one mouse/keyboard will connect to the other and vise versa. is there any way to lock the keyboard and mouse on one computer?

    Try renaming one of the keyboards. If that doesn't work then you need to set up separate passcodes for each one. You do this in the BT preferences.

  • Rechargable Batteries for Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

    I'm wondering if rechargeable batteries are compatible with the Wireless Keyboard & Mouse, and if so, what types does Apple recommend? I'm constantly going through regular batteries to power these devices. Thanks.

    I bought some ordinary rechargable batteries from Maplin Electronics (AA NiMH) and they were perfect (even came with an AC charger) for £9.99 (they supplied 6 and 2 AAA), so perfect for the keyboard.
    Hope that helps.

  • Will i be able with Mac mini to connect a wireless keyboard and mouse (via USB) for first boot ?

    Please answer . I ask that because I saw on a video showing its first boot , saying" connect a Bluetooth keyboard" . So I am worried . It's about its latest version . Thanks!

    If your devices are using a USB dongle, the Mini will
    likely see a mouse or keyboard connected via this method as
    "wired" devices.  These dongles are configured this way
    so that the host computer need not know anything about
    the wireless connection.

  • Looking for a manual for model kbrf57711 wireless keyboard and mouse

    asap

    Almost any keyboard and mouse will work if it's USB (all of them are now). Just check the box to see if it has the drivers on the disk or not. Most do (mine do).

  • IMac with Wireless Keyboard and Mouse question

    My mouse doesn't do anything when I right click. It is a standard wireless mouse, how can I get it to right click?

    The Apple Wireless Mouse doesn't have a right click button. To access the right click menu, hold down the Control key, and click the mouse wherever necessary.

  • Can no longer order an iMac with wireless KB and mouse?

    Hi,
    I just figure out that when someone try to order the iMac, the only keyboard choice is wired. I think this disapear at the same time the wireless mighty mouse arrived.
    Am I wrong?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I had this problem. The stores had them in a package with the wirelesss
    keyboard and mouse but they were not available on-line. I had to order on-line to get some upgrades but could not have the wireless package...Catch 22.
    So when I called in my order I complained that I could not effectively get what I wanted and without much pressure I was offered a discount if I bought the wireless keyboard and mouse as extra. They knocked off £50 sterling (I'm in the UK) from the total cost. So, for about £40 more (which was the extra cost of the wireless pack in the store) I got what I wanted. With the added bonus of having a spare wired mouse and keyboard which are currently still all wrapped up in their box.
    I only placed my order on the 17th and receieved it last Friday so it should be a current deal. I hope it is not too late to help you out.
    Cheers.
    Chris

  • IMac crashes since new keyboard and mouse arrived

    Recently picked up the new wireless keyboard and mouse after my old set finally died and once I got them both working I started to experience constant system crashes including restart messeges and random software just quitting out without cause. The iMac worked fine before I got teh new kb&m, but I ahve never heard of new accessories causing a computer to freak out like this. The computer is currently running Tiger. Any ideas?

    Suggest that you repost over in the Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse Forums where the wireless folks hang out.
    Also, since you have an Intel iMac, you may wish to cross-post over in the Using your Intel-based iMac Forums.
    You should also indicate which version of Tiger you are using.

  • IMac Windows 8 pro Keyboard and mouse not working!

    I installed windows 8 pro on my new iMac, but I have and a problem: my Wireless keyboard and mouse aren't working with windows apparently because of compatibility issue with apple broadcom built-in Bluetooth windows 8 driver.... Any help?

    Yes I did use Bootcamp for that!

  • Will the Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse work with my iMac G5?

    My Dad just sent me his old iMac G5 17". and I was wondering if the Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse will work with it!? I don't really have a place to put the computer.. so I was hoping to get the wireless mouse and keyboard so I don't have to be connected to the computer.

    I have the most recent (2 AA batteries, not 3) wireless keyboard and magic mouse running on a PowerMac G5. Your iMac G5 has the same class of processor, which isn't Intel. My Mac has built-in bluetooth support, which is what these products use. I'm unsure if your iMac has bluetooth built-in or not, but if it doesn't, you can purchase the Belkin bluetooth USB dongle. That has been widely reported to work just fine within OSX.
    Anyway, yes, your iMac G5 can run the wireless keyboard and mouse. You just might have to work a little for it.
    Good luck!

    Hi champrider,
    You can use an application such as Apple Remote Desktop to control your iMac remotely. See this article -

  • Can anyone tell me the Map Ipad app is available for imac yet. if so where can i download it or is it already on my mac somewhere?

    Hi
    Can anyone tell me if the Maps App is available for Imac yet and if so how do i find it?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
