Logitech Cordless Number Pad???

How do I set up Logitech's Cordless Number Pad for Notebooks on my Leopard iMac 24"? It's a USB plug and play (although the packaging specifies it's for the Windows system).
The firs time I plugged it in, Leopard put of a graphic trying to identify the "keyboard" which instructed me to press the key to the right of the left shift button. No such button on a number pad.
Further pushing of the pad's reset and the usb receiver connect button produce no results.
The Logitech support site is no help, although there are few others posting the same question.
Does this have anything to do with the LCC drivers, and do I need them?
Any ideas?

Because every device is different, that's why. (and bluetooth vs usb probably doesn't matter either way in this case). In addition, I've seen lots of Logitech or Microsoft USB keyboards that "work" - but not every feature. For example, dedicated function buttons for things like "launch media player" or "volume" may not work, because they're predicated on a SOFTWARE DRIVER communicating between the keyboard and the system. No driver means that only the basic keys will work, not extended keys that do specific functions.
Just because a USB mouse or keyboard works, doesn't mean automatically the numeric keypad will work. My guess is that keypad that doesn't work, doesn't work because it needs a driver present to communicate input from the keypad to the system.

  • USB overdrive not recognising Logitech Cordless Rumble Pad in the status?

    Hello,
    I just got GamePad Companion for my mbp to play Max Payne 2 (Intel Crossover Version)
    ...the keyboard and mouse for it runs smooth and fine but when I try using my gamepad with Gamepad Companion, it gets super slow and not all the buttons work, like the joystick.
    I then deciced to try USB overdrive, which I hear is pretty popular. I have the most up to date version. When I go to status, its blank, and it seems as if it doesn't recognise my gamepad.
    I hear with USB overdrive you can customise key maps per application. I'm assuming its in the import settings. It did not recognise my game but I'm assuming its because its an Intel Crossover.
    So...
    Should I stick with gamepad companion? Does it normally work fine for games and just in this scenario being an intel crossover its acting up?
    Or
    Is there something more about USB overdrive that I'm missing. Exluding that game, it still doesn't seem to be recognising my gamepad
    Any suggestions please?
    Thankyou

  • Separate Number Pad for small keyboard?

    I am days or maybe hours away from ordering my new 27" iMac but ...
    Does Apple make, or support, a separate number pad that will work with the small wireless keyboard? (It would be a good thing for the MacBooks too.)
    I like to use a number pad for some things, I also prefer a cordless keyboard. Those are mutually incompatible choices at the moment. I see separate number pads for PCs (Logitech for one) would one of these work with the new iMac? It would save space for me except a few hours a month when I need it.

    FYI - This topic discusses a separate Bluetooth numeric keypad (from Microsoft) that appears to work with Macs.

  • Disfunctional Keyboard Number Pad

    I've been having weird problems with my keyboard's number pad.  Initially, it starts off fine when I boot up the computer.  However, it eventually starts acting funny.  The number keys on it act like num lock is turned off, regardless of it's state.  Even the keys for the math symbols don't work.  They simply don't do anything.  And the plus key acts like the right mouse button in some applications.  My keyboard is the Logitech Wave Keyboard, but I'm doubting that's the problem because it's never acted like this before.  Also, a few weeks ago, the number pad started acting like Num Lock was in the opposite state.

    I haven't seen this problem coming up in a couple days, so I'm guessing it is resolved.  Right now, I can think of two possible causes.  For one, the problem always (or usually) started when I was using OpenOffice.org, which I haven't been using as much.  So it's possibly a bug in OpenOffice.  Also, A few days ago I stopped using evdev as my mouse driver, since it had been causing problems with cycling the input events in /dev/input.  I'm guessing it was more likely to be caused by driver interference.

  • Satellite P500 - After BIOS update the number pad isn't working anymore

    I just got a Satellite P500 and am running Windows 7. I downloaded all of the latest drivers and updated the system bios to version 1.70 (from Toshiba's support website). Now, my number pad on the keyboard is not working.
    The numlock light is on and when I hit the "6" key on the number pad, it turns the light on/off but the behavior of the other keys does not change whether it is on or off. The "-" key enters a "6" but none of the other keys (except "enter" does anything.
    I removed the keyboard driver and restarted to re-install the keyboard driver but that had not effect. The keyboard did work for a few days after I flashed the bios but seems to have stopped since I started using a USB mouse. I tried uninstalling the USB mouse driver but that did not do anything either (it was a Logitech driver).
    Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance

    I'm having this exact same issue, Did the BIOS update, which fixed the problem for Vista X64, formatted the machine to windows 7, Number pad keys except 6 and - Register as the Fn Button, Bringing up the function shortcuts display when pressed in windows, recovered from 7 to Vista X64 using Built in recovery partition, Problem still exactly the same. i have reset BIOS to defaults twice now, which has not resolved the issue. the next step will be to reflash the bios with the update again to see if this will fix the issue as it did once before. Laptop Model P500/025 Or Part number PSPE8A-025002
    *EDIT: I reflashed the BIOS with 1.70 Again and the number pad is back to normal. Seems like an extreme fix for a silly problem. Every time you format you have to Reflash your bios, risky no?*

  • Using the Number Pad on my non-Apple bluetooth keyboard on MBP Retina

    Hi, I was able to easily connect my bluetooth keyboard to my MBP Retina, but my Number Pad doesnt seem to work. I was trying to find an option to allow the numpad in keyboard settings, but couldnt find anything. I was hoping somebody would know what to do so that I could use my Number Pad for punching in numbers on Excel, online, etc. It's a huge pain to use the straight line of keys above the letters and I'm used to using the number pad. FYI, I'm using a Logitech MX 5500 Keyboard, if that makes any difference. Any thoughts are appreciated!

    All right,
    Not really clear yet but try either pressing the two shift key for a few seconds (or pressing many times both at the same time) or pressing shift with space. It worked with me. Funy that the problem only happens in excel.

  • Lost my number pad?

    I have the 3 month subscription unlimited to Can and US. However, somewhere along the line I've lost the ability to call numbers as I have no number pad. I am not sure where this has gone, or how to go about getting it back. I can call numbers that I already have in my contact list, so it's not a subscription issue, but I can not place calls to new numbers. Help? What am I missing?

  • Is there anyway to have a 10key number pad on my Macbook Pro Retina with Mountain Lion?

    Besweet, I'm having the very same problem with 60GB colour which was bought new and worked for 6 months before suddenly just not being recognised by PC. I hadn't changed anything at all.
    I've followed all troubleshooting advice and reinstalled and updated iTunes and iPod updater software but all troubleshooting routes seem to hit the dead end of either the need to access the iPod via the PC (which isn't possible as it's not showing up at all) or the iPod in disc mode stuck at "ok to disconnect".
    It's still under 1yr warranty so will have to take to a dealer.
    I'm sorry that's not much help for you but at least you know it's not a unique problem.

    Hi,
    does the numpad work in other Windows programs, or is it just the MS Office programs ?
    Have you tried the 'clear'-key (the one above the '7'-key on the numpad) to enable the numpad ?
    Regards

  • Apple Keyboard with number pad doesn't work with Mac Pro?

    I have a Mac Pro, and have used an Apple Keyboard with a number pad (not bluetooth) with it for quite a while, with no problems. But then my keyboard broke and I ordered a replacement Apple Keyboard with a number pad (not bluetooth). This keyboard doesn't work with my Mac Pro. I have it plugged in, but I can't get the Mac Pro to consistently recognize that there is a USB keyboard connected to it. What magical stuff do I have to do to get the keyboard to be fit for purpose?

    It would not hurt to try an SMC Reset. (But if it does not help, it adds credence to lllaass assertion that the keyboard is not working.)

  • BUG: Ctrl+Alt+ number to switch modules only works with number pad

    Really annoying, since this worked nicely in the beta. If, for example, you hold down Ctrl+Alt+1 (pressing 1 on the top row of the keyboard) to switch to the Library Module, it doesn't work. If you use 1 on the numeric keypad, it works fine. What's the big deal, you ask? Well, try using the number pad on a laptop - you either get to use the number keys or the regular keys, so this shortcut is essentially useless on anything other than a full-size keyboard.

    Windows treats Ctrl + Alt shortcuts as special. They are used as hotkeys for desktop icons, and if a key is used for that purpose, it overrides any use within a program. I did a little research, and setting a desktop hotkey to 3 will cause your LR symptoms, where you can't used the normal numbers and have to use the keypad to switch modules. On the other hand, you'd probably be seeing the effect of using the non-number-pad keys (they'd launch a program), so it's a mystery.
    In my testing, I noticed that the Firefox browser uses that key combination to switch between its tabbed sessions. If you're running that program, you could test to see if it exhibits the same symptoms.

  • I just updated to ios6 and now I have a hard time reading the number pad. Can I get the colors to go back to the way they were before? Or can I get rid of ios6?

    Can I change the colors on the number pad back to what they were before the update?

    Hi Idreier,
    I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit.
    Hopefully this helps!
