Lenovo Remote Wireless Keyboard 57Y6336

(Also known as the N5901) How does one type a function key (F1, F2, etc.) on this keyboard? There are no keys labelled as such.
Thanks,
Leo

Trying to return a defective Lenovo Mini Wireless Keyboard 57Y6336

I am hoping someone can help me since at this point I am completely frustrated.
I received a Mini Wireless Keyboard Friday I ordered direct from Lenovo. It turns out it is defective and phone support has been completely useless as far as I can tell. Several of the keys don't work and the trackball is so loose you have to keep a finger on it otherwise the mouse cursor doesn't stay still. I spent over an hour on the phone on Friday trying to get a RMA to do a defective return, but apparently every department I talked couldn't help me so had to transfer me to someone else. I finally spoke to someone who I thought issued a RMA, but when I got home from work today I had a message from the same person saying I need to call 877-453-6686 which is both the second and fourth number I was transfered to and they should be able to help me. At this point I am over this and just want to return this so I can get my money back.
I figured I would try on the forums since I have had no luck via the phone.

As far as I can tell there is no one at Lenovo that handles this item so I might as well put in for a credit card dispute. I tried calling several times last week and again today.
Every department I am connected to says they don't handle accessories unless it came with a PC.
I wish I had known this was how my experience would be before I bought the N5901.

FrontRow, Remote, & Wireless Keyboard for Power Mac G5

I have a very simple question. If I upgrade from Tiger to Leopard, I would like to be able to operate Front Row from my couch. My PowerMac G5 did not come with Bluetooth capability, so how do I 1) make my computer operable with the wireless Mac keyboard, and/or 2) how to I make computer operable with the Apple remote?
Thanks,

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
You need a bluetooth adapter for the keyboard.
For the remote, you need a USB IR receiver.

Ultraslim wireless keyboard and mouse not working

Hi , I purchased the Lenovo Ultraslim Wireless Keyboard & Mouse (pn: 57Y4700) about 4 months ago for use with my T60 laptop (which i use with a docking station and large lenovo monitor at work).
Everything was woking fine until last Monday when I can into work after the weekend and neither the mouse or keyboard worked. I replaced the batteries in both, rebooted the machine several time, switch the USB ports for the nano receiver, but nothing seems to have worked.
I looked online for troubleshooting options, but did not find anything.
The mouse and keyboard don't seem to have a "sych" button - if I recall correctly everything worked right out of the box.
My theory is that the nano reciever was damaged (not sure how) -- but don't know how to proceed:
can the nano reciever be replaced;
any other options to troubleshoot;
any chance that this could be a software problem
Thanks

Hi coffee12345,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I have read your post on your wireless keyboard and mouse not working with your desktop, and I would be happy to help you! To begin, I need to ask you a few introductory questions:
What is the Product and Model Number of your desktop?
What version of Windows are you using?
Is this a recent issue, or has it been like this since day one?
Are you using a USB hub to connect your peripherals or is it directly plugged into the computer?
Please re-post with the necessary information, and I look forward to your reply!

57Y6336 LENOVO WIRELESS KEYBOARD N5901 (WW-B)

Unfortunately I cannot get the product to work suitably. I've connected the USB drive to my [dell] computer, and even sitting less than one feet from the computer, the wireless keyboard/mouse stops responding and loses the signal to the computer many times within a few seconds. To troubleshoot i have tried the following:
Changed the battery
Changed the USB port
Tried on another computer
Sat inches away from the computer
The remote is recognized by my computer as it works sometimes, but usually goes in and out of the signal. Regrettably, after all those tries i cannot get the lenovo to work properly. Which is very disappointing as i really wanted to remove my wireless keyboard and mouse and use this instead. This has gotten me extremely frustrated for the last few days.
Please help me troubleshoot, or perhaps return the product to get my money back (who do i contact? Been searching for an email address for technical support for 30 mins but couldn't find it )

You are not alone here. I received this keyboard a week ago which was DOA. I've been trying to get help with no luck. I purchased a Lenovo laptop 2 months ago and praying that nothing would happen.
I wont buy any "Lenovo" product any more.

I don't have a wireless keyboard or mouse for my 2007 iMac, is there any way that can use remote desktop and access it from my 2010mbp.

Hi champrider,
You can use an application such as Apple Remote Desktop to control your iMac remotely. See this article -
OS X Mavericks: Allow access using Apple Remote Desktop
This help page will provide you with some other useful resources for Apple Remote Desktop -

Connecting remotely with Apple wireless keyboard, ARD 3.5, and Lion

I don't know if the keyboard issue is related but here is my problem:
1. I have used Vine Server with .NET VNC viewer for years and iTeleport for close to a year to remote to my iMac. Vine Server stopped working after I upgraded to Lion so I bought Apple Remote Desktop 3.5 and installed it.
2. I can connect once, but after I disconnect, I can no longer connect using iTeleport; instead, it tries for a long time then gives a timeout error. After I restart the Mac then I can reconnect, but only if I restart from the login screen or the Apple menu; if I use either "sudo reboot", or "sudo shutdown -r now", then I still cannot reconnect. I cannot test this behavior using .NET VNC viewer because it is a 30 minute drive away.
3. When I try to connect using .NET VNC, I get an error that the server is not a VNC server; however, I have never managed to attempt to connect at a time when I could connect using iTeleport.
4. When I connect using iTeleport where I can see my Mac, the Mac dispays the message that it cannot find a bluetooth keyboard. This message does not appear on my iPad screen, but it does display on the Mac's monitor any time I attempt to connect using iTeleport whether or not the connection is successful.
5. The behavior is the same whether I connect through the local wifi or over the internet.
6. I have never been able to connect using the iTeleport connect utility that comes with iTeleport.
Right now, I would be happy if there were a special restart command that I could execute over ssh that does the same thing as clicking the restart button on the Mac. Does anybody have an Idea how I can get this working again? Driving home to reboot every time I need to remote in is not an option.

Thanks for the quick reply Skydiver! So...I really should buy a second wireless keyboard so that I don't have to go through the hassle of re-pairing the keyboard when i switch devices, yes? Yes, I believe I've answered my own question as I now sit here with my MBP attempting to pair it to the keyboard. Oy. Taking forever. I don't mind buying a second -- for $69, it seems to be the most efficient thing to do. Now I just need to figure out a way to designate which wireless keyboard goes with which device. Time to buy a little sticker! Thanks again.

Compatible Wireless Keyboard for Lenovo w530

Hi, I want to buy a wireless Keyboard for my Lenovo W530. I've pre-installed windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.04. I need to use that keyboard in both operating systems. Please suggest some. I already have wireless logitech mouse and it works fine. with regards, Ritam

Hi there.
Do be VERY careful about acquiring/using a keyboard from a different system. You absolutely MUST look up the parts description for each machine and identify the keyboard FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) number.
If they are identical then.... ok... no problem!
If they are DIFFERENT then..... DON'T DO IT! They may look identical but they will have something... somewhere.... different!!!! It may be just a screw hole in a different place but it might also be a completely different ribbon cable configuration!!
The C100 keyboard FRU list (different languages) is at
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-63044
while the N500 list is at
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70943
I see the US English FRU is 42T3403 for C100 but 34T7417 for the N500! QED....don't do it! Not compatible!

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....

What happened to Lenovo ThinkPlus USB Keyboard with UltraNav ?!?

Hi all,
I want a keyboard that works EXACTLY like my T410 native keyboard. I found the ThinkPlus USB Keyboard with UltraNav that looks wireless, but it's been discontinued as of Sept 2009...anyone know what's up with that? I also saw this Lenovo Fingerprint Keyboard but it's not wireless and has no trackpoint or UltraNav, this one looks nice but it's not wireless and has no numpad or UltraNav, this one lacks the ThinkPad feel and look and reviews say the build quality is bad...so why do they have all these very mediocre keyboards...anyone know if they're in the process of releasing a GREAT keyboard with these features)?
My T410 is out of reach when its docked, so I need my keyboard to be wireless with UltraNav + trackpoint AND NUMPAD for data input, programmable keys, and of course a fingerprint scanner! I also need it to be able to affect my T410 EXACTLY as if I was using the built in keyboard... like using Fn + F_ to toggle display, power, radio settings, etc. I want it to have the same keys in the same locations and it needs extra media (volume, play, pause) keys and programmable keys to open programs/folders. I would like it to be rechargeable too. It would be great if it came with a good wireless mouse as well. I understand wireless fingerprint readers are not any more secure, and are probably even less secure so this I could do without...but they should still put it on the dock that recharges the keyboard and mouse!
Pretty much, why hasn't Lenovo come out with the perfect wireless keyboard for us ThinkPad fans? I know there are other companies out there, but I'd like to add type on a keyboard with traditional ThinkPad quality that IBM lovers have gotten used to!
Thanks,
O

I used to own a ThinkPlus USB Keyboard with UltraNav. It wasn't wireless, just standard USB. Unfortunately, it died after 5+ years of abuse.
That keyboard has been replaced by ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint (55Y9003). If you search for that FRU number you'll find it available for sale.
The new model is closer to a current gen laptop keyboard (more so than the original ThinkPlus keyboard). But it is missing the numeric keyboard and the TrackPad part of the UltraNav.
There's a good story as to why the keyboard is wired and why the other components were removed:

Yeah, unfortunately, I don't think Lenovo is going to produce exactly what you are looking for. Like you, I miss the numeric keypad.
But at least it's cheaper than before. You could buy a separate USB/wireless numeric keypad to with the savings.

My new mac mini doesn't detect my wireless keyboard and mouse from logitech

I recently bought the Logitech MK550 wireless keyboard and mouse combo for my late 2014 Mac mini. Basic functions work, however, when I try to add the keyboard and mouse in the System Preferences it can't find either one. So right now I have this great big keyboard that I can only use about half it's full functionality and an unassigned button on the mouse. Any ideas? Also, I would like to add an apple remote to my mini. I have one from my old iMac. Is this possible?

Try resetting the SMC.
Question #2 - I have no idea.

My wireless keyboard keeps losing connection but this is random

after upgrading to mavericks i can log on to the operting system but sometimes this can happen right after log on or this might take hours or a few days. my keybpard will just stop working.
this is a new keybpard only 1 month old the apple wireless keyboard. and in the bluetooth in seems connected fine.
but for no reason at all i can link to any action my keyboard will just stop sending keystrokes to the computer.
1. the keyboard is on
2. the bluetooth shows the keyboard and i can selects disconnect and connect.
the only way i can reconnect the keybpard is reboot. by holding the power button in.
i have a spercial mouse with 6 buttons on as i need this to work and that mouse works through another dongle bluged in via usb. i have tried disconnecting this but the keyboard still wont connect.
this is really getting bad now as i have 3D renders going on in the background 24 hours a day. and a reboot rrally upsets my work.
i have a mac 27 inch mid 2011

Hello B:
One thing to try is to make the devices "favorites" Directions for that are in other posts of mine.
However, the keyboard (from your description) could be faulty. Since it is less than one year old, I suggest you call Applecare with a warranty issue. I had a KB replaced (in warranty) a couple of years ago. Apple replaced it and paid the shipping both ways.

Wireless Keyboard for iPhone?

Does anyone know if Apple's wireless keyboard (using bluetooth) will work on the iPhone 3G?

where is the hyperlink for your information ?
This PDF link has a good explanation of BT profiles:
https://techtrain.samsungwireless.com/tekweb/Misc/Main/Accessories/Bluetooth_Pro files.pdf
The HID profile is the one needed for keyboard connection, and isn't included in iPhone 3.0 OS
where do you know, that this is not in the new os 3.0 ?
I know, because I have been using all the 3.0 betas. If you read the latest Apple site page listing the new 3.0 features, you won't see it there. Only stereo audio (A2DP) with audio/video remote control (AVRCP) were added.

Is it possible to sync a wireless keyboard to apple tv

I have an apple wireless keyboard that I would like to sync to apple tv 2nd generation
to make it easier to do movie or youtube searches, rather than selecting each letter using the remote
will this work??

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No that's not possible unfortunately. Do you have an iPod/iPhone or iPad you can use.
