  • Wired Apple Keyboard

    Just a technical question, could anyone tell me the exact wire length of the new wired Apple Keyboard.
    I am using the older keyboard and need to know the cord length of the new one before i buy.
    Thx, and please don't provide comparison to the older (2003) model.

    86cm / 34" (This is the cord length only - i've not included the USB connector).

  • Syncing issues with USB port

    I can only sync on the USB port on my G5 tower. When I plug into the USB port on my Apple Cinema display the phone only charges...no syncing. Any ideas? I'd like to use the display port.

    The USB port on your Cinema is a port on the built-in hub in the display. It can't supply the power needed by the iPhone.

  • HT1476 when i plug my phone into the usb port with the apple charger that came with my phone i get an error msg say charging not supported by this device.   But when i use a gigaware (radioshack brand) usb charger, no error msg.  Why?

    - Try restoring the iPod, first from backup and then try to factory settings/new iPod to rule out a software problem.
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and broken or cracked plastic.
    - Could you have damaged something when you took the iPod apart and replaced the Home button?

  • 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;

  • Wired Apple Keyboard not recognized in Win 7 64x bootcamp partition

    I installed a bootcamp partition on an iMac late 2012 i5 running 10.8.3 following the Bootcamp instructions.  Windows 7 64x installed fine.  My wireless Apple keyboard and magic mouse work fine.  However, when I plug in my previous Apple wired keyboard from my 2008 iMac, Windows doesn't recognize it, keyboard doesn't work, and the USB ports on the keyboard don't work.  Called Apple support and they said to call Microsoft.  MS said they didn't have an answer.  Anyone else have this issue and any success resolving it?  Would really prefer to use the wired keyboard for gaming and the numeric keypad.

    Sorry - also meant to say that I had Win 7 x32 installed in a bootcamp partition on my previous 2008 C2D iMac and the wired keyboard worked fine.

  • Anyone having issues with USB port power after upgrading to iTunes 11.1?

    After upgrading to itunes 11.1, I can no longer use the USB ports on my wired keyboard to synch my iPhone 4s, ipod Nano, and Ipad 2.  Previously, I could use this port to synch and charge the nano and iphone, and synch (but not charge) my iPad.  Now I simply get an error when I attach any of the devices ("a usb device needs more power").
    I currently use all four of the USB ports on the back of my imac (UPS power supply, aformentioned keyboard, a Lacie backup drive that has its own power supply, and a superdrive).  Interestingly, when I unplug the Superdrive (which is plugged directly into the mac on a separate USB port), the USB port on the keyboard will work.  Unplugging any of the other 2 devices does not allow the port on the  to work.
    I bought the wired keyboard to have the easily accessible UBS port to synch my nano as well as the fact I needed a number pad. 

    Get yourself a good self-powered 7 port USB hub to plug your extra devices into.

  • Video issues with USB port replicator with Digital Video

    I have a T400 running Windows XP SP3 32-bit, with the graphics mode set to use the ATI video card. I'm also using the latest approved Lenovo ATI driver for this machine.
    I have two issues, one of which I consider major:
    1) Sometimes when I plug in the replicator (got the latest drivers off of the Lenovo download site) everything works great, and other times the monitor never powers up. I plug the replicator into my laptop and the external keyboard and mouse work and the port replicator system tray icon appears, but the monitor is still in power-saving mode. If I try to activate the monitor by "extending" or "mirroring" it, it comes up with a pop-up that says:
    "ThinkPad USB port rep. device: Error" - "Fail when adding device instance into driver!"
    2) This is more of an annoyance, but I noticed when the monitor does work that black areas of the screen end up getting sparkly green lines through them. They aren't "actually there" in the sense that it's not corruption from the computer, they are simply artifacts of what seems to be some signalling problem.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    We (DispkayLink) have tested office 2013 and not found any BSODs so there must be something system specific.
    Could you gather the system logs and post here so we can see what might be wrong? Details on how to do this are here:

    Thanks

    Your reply is 2 months later, I had to revert to Office 2010 and return the laptop to the end user.
    But, I got another model of the same laptop right now which can be used to test it, I will let you know if it works out this time with the lates DisplayLink software for Windows.

  • The USB port on the new keyboards

    Hi,
    I'd just like to have your opinion about the placement of the USB port on the new mac keyboard. I think it is a pity that they are so far away under the keyboard. It makes them difficult to access. Besides, what if your USB device is a bit large. You cannot plug it in for pure physical reasons.
    Another mistake from apple? What do you think?

    But I could counter that my wife likes the way the USB port is recessed because her thumb drive fits perfectly doesn't protrude from the keyboard unlike with other keyboards. Since getting this keyboard she hasn't knocked her thumb drive lose and hasn't set her drink on it. And let's be serious - how difficult is it to lift up the keyboard to plug in a device? How onerous is it to buy a little extender if you do find lifting the keyboard such a time wasting task? Okay, I'll tone down the sarcasm
    Thanks. Point is, it adds an extra step. Macs should be more user friendly. No, it is not hard to lift the keyboard, but why should we have to when before you just saw the port and attached away?
    If you want to complain about design decisions, let's ask a few questions that might be more serious? Why is the power button hidden on back in stead of conveniently in front? Why isn't there at least a visual cue telling is where to insert a disc? Why isn't there a way to vertically adjust the display? Why are all the ports on back? Wouldn't it be convenient to have at least one USB port in front? Where is the little LED that pulses to let us know the computer is asleep?
    Well, this thread wasn't directed at the new iMac's other design quirks, but since you bring it up.
    1) Yes, that power button in the back left me scratching my head. I'm used to it now, but it is another good example of form over function.
    2) I insterted a disc backwards the first time, silly me.
    3) It is so big, why do you need to vertically adjust it?
    4) Ports on the front would make things easier, yet. And you wouldn't have to lift the keyboard But it would interfere with the clean appearance.
    5) I miss that LED too....

  • Have a problem with Wired Apple Keyboard

    Not sure where to post this problem.
    C-key is not working on my Apple Wired Keyboard. However it is working fine on MacBook Pro to which keyboard is connected. More than that when I press Spacebar on Apple Keyboard multiple times C is showing up in the line on spaces with same intervals. Does anyone has a solution to this?
    When I press C-key nothing is displayed.
    When I press Spacebar multiple times I have the following result displayed:   c   c   c   c   c   c (only Spacebar is pressed)

    Some update, now when even pressing Spacebar c is not displaying. when restarting mabook pro and choosing the user - password field is automatically filled with dots. I guess some button is stuck.
    Yeah that was going to be my reply. The C key is stuck.
    In Lion there is not Repeat key feature so if a key is stuck it doesn't Repeat like it use to on older OS X versions.

  • Can't Safe Boot or Single User Boot with the new (wired) Apple Keyboard

    I have found that my shiny new Apple keyboard does not recognize the shift key or command-s when booting, making it impossible to boot into either safe mode or single user mode.

    I'm having the same issues here.
    Read on Macfixit about incompatibilities with the Core Duo machines (I'm running a 1.66ghz Core Duo MacMini, 10.4.10) and can't startup using safe mode or single-user. Not sure if this has been addressed yet?

  • New (wired) Apple Keyboard

    I have a iMac G5 with system 10.4.10. I just bought the new (flat) Apple keyboard and installed the latest software for the keyboard, after having keyboard shortcut problems.
    Now even after installing all the latest and greatest software, I can't use my left-side command key for the command-paste function in any application; even though I can command-paste with my right-side command key. I can do other command-key functions with the left command key though (such as command-C for copying).
    Also, the desktop icons - that should only be the result of pressing the new keyboard's F3 key - randomly activate without my pressing the F3 key.
    Any troubleshooting ideas? I really LOVE this keyboard and want to keep it...I just wish it would function as reliably as my (working) one that came with my computer.

    There has been a lot of discussion about the function keys, this comes from MacFixIt:
    +Apple Aluminum keyboards (#4): More on function keys not working, potential fix+
    +We continue to report on an issue with Apple's new aluminum keyboards where the F3 and F4 keys, which should trigger Dashboard and Expose, do not normally trigger these functions unless the function (fn) key is held down while they are pressed. If you navigate to the keyboard pane of System Preferences and check the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys," the Dashboard and Expose functions are triggered by the F3 and F4 keys, but the rest of the special function keys no longer work (brightness toggling, etc.).+
    +Some users are apparently being told by Apple that the function keys do not work on any machines other than the Mid-2007 iMacs, with which the keyboards ship (they are also available for separate purchase). One reader writes:+
    +"I also encountered the new function keys not working. I contacted Apple support and I was informed that they only work with the new iMacs. "+
    +Meanwhile, we have received word of a potential fix for the non-functioning keys that involves use of one of our favorite troubleshooting tools, Pacfisit.+
    +MacFixIt reader Joe Mullins writes: "I fixed the dashboard and expose keys on my keyboard. The problem is apparently that Dock.app isn't getting updated properly. I fixed it using my original install disks, 10.4.10 combo updater, keyboard update and Pacifist."+
    +Joe's process is as follows:+
    +1. Insert Install disk for 10.4.x and open /System/Installation/Packages/Essentials.pkg/ with pacifist.+
    +2. Within Pacifist, navigate to /System/Library/Core Services. Click on Dock.app and click install. When it's uncompressed, it will ask if you would like to update or replace. Click replace.+
    +3. When that's finished, open the 10.4.10 combo update package with pacifist and navigate to the dock.app again. Click install, and this time when it asks, make sure to click update.. not replace.+
    +4. When that's finished, open the keyboard software 1.1 mpackage, click the arrow to reveal the contents of AppleKeyboardSoftware_Cmn.pkg, navigate to dock.app one more time, click install and then update once again. Not replace.+
    +5. Once this procedure is finished, you can force quit dock.app and the keys should work.+
    You should probably reapply the update after doing the above.
    Please post back with results,

  • Issue with USB ports and Blue Screen

    So, I had to send my Satellite L355-S7905 back and Toshiba had to do a factory restore.  I got it back 2 weeks ago and now I have a new problem; 2-3 times a day my mouse and printer stops working, these are connected via USB ports and I get a message that the device is no longer recognized.  I found a solution on the Microsoft site to go to Device manager and Scan for new hardware changes and then Restart.  I do this and when I restart I get the dreaded blue screen.  So I then have to unplug, take out the battery and turn the computer back on.  Then the mouse and printer are recognized.  This will work for several hours and then the whole thing happens again.  So, are there any long term solutions?  Can anyone tell my why this is happening?  Please note, that that the printer and mouse are not new and no new hardware has been installed since getting it back from the factory.
    Thank you for your help!!
