Logitech keyboard with imac

I recently bought a new imac and am very happy with it. I did find the keyboard too flat and hard to use. So I bought a logitech wireless keyboard that is mac compatible.
When I plugged in the new keyboard, there were a few small installation items and then the keyboard worked fine. The instructions requested to touch the key to the right of the left shift key (the "z" key) then to press the key to the left of the right shift key (the "/" key). No problem.
I found that whenever I exited my account, the installation instructions continued to be displayed (stating the system found a new keyboard, then requesting me to key the z key, then the / key). Over and over again. Finally, I decided to reboot the imac and it seemed to mostly correct the problem.
Now, it seems at random times, once every 2 or 3 days, the installation instructions (stating the system found a new keyboard, then requesting me to key the z key, then the / key) start to display again. Every time I switch accounts on my imac they are displayed until I restart the system. Then everything is fine for a day or two until it all starts again...
Was I supposed to do something when I plugged in the new keyboard? How can I make the installation instructions finally stop displaying forever? The keyboard itself only had instructions for a pc, not a mac so they won't help.
Thanks for any help you can give...

How do you use a Japanesse keyboard with IMAC?

Can you use a Apple Japanesse keyboard with IMAC?

Yes, of course, that is what is used in Japan. You can still type any language, not just Japanese. It just has a slightly different layout.
If you have a problem after you have connected it, come back here and provided details about what is not working the way you want.

Alu bluetooth keyboard with iMac / Battery issue

How do you turn off the power on a new alu bluetooth keyboard used with iMac 20" alu?
I don't know if this is the right place to post it, but my original batteries lasted 3 days, while replacements only 4 days with moderate use only. I've used the previous keyboard (white) where batteries lasted almost two months (it used four batteries instead of three, but C'MON!!).
The old keyboard had a switch, this one has a side button, but I don't think I am actually switching it off if my average lifetime is 84 hours!
Help please?

There should be a button on the opposite end of the tube that you put batteries into. BUT you might want to exchange your keyboard - something sounds wrong with it. I have a wireless keyboard/mouse with my AlumiMac and after one and a half months the origianl set of batteries still show 4 out of 5 bars under System Preferences and I never turn my keyboard off.

Are you able to use other startup keys, such as the C key to start up from your Mac OS X installation disc in the optical drive?
Did you already try resetting PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
(and are those startup keys recognized?)
and this procedure to reset SMC?

You have run Software Update to ensure your system is up to date?

Using eMac keyboard with iMac help needed.

I have an iMac from around 2009, at the weekend the keyboard stopped working and until I can afford a replacement a friend has given me an old eMac keyboard he had spare to use in the meantime (which could be a while).
Just this morning I've realised that it doesn't have some of the function keys that the iMac keyboard has. The one I'm missing the most is the F3 key that shows me all the windows I have open at once. Something I find invaluable as I use my mac for music production and helps sort through and find all the plugins I have open.
Is there a way to achieve what the iMac F3 does with a combination of keys on the eMac keyboard?
Thanks
Andy.

With older Mac keyboards, try using the Command key with the F keys to see which F keys do what function.

Logitech Keyboard with MBP

I have the Logitech Cordless Duo MX, which I am using with my MacBook Pro. I used to use the Logitech Control Center, but it is not yet Unversal. My problem is that I want to do two things:
1. I want to swap the option and command keys (which the Logitech software usually does). Note that I cannot do this with the keyboard preference pane because I don't want to swap them on the MBP builtin keyboard.
2. I'd like to get the media keys on the keyboard working.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Yeah, because the Logitech one is a kernel extension and a preference pane, so it cannot run under Rosetta. Logitech's site does say that they are working on an Intel version, but it'll probably be a while before it sees the light of day.

Alumminium keyboard with imac. tab, space, caps lock, delete,left opt and down arrow stop working.

Logitech c615 with iMac & web-based video chat

How do I get a Logitech c615 to work with web-based video chat sites? Works with Skype, Face Time, etc. Can select it in Chrome browser but still uses builtin cam. Would use the builtin cam but your adjustments are tilting/twisting the monitor and moving closer/farther from the monitor. Really?! Is it possible to set an external camera as default for web-based video or is it yet another regret I have from switching from PC?

on a related topic - I have the same camera but I can't hear people when I facetime - it's ok with Skype though
can you help?

TS3048 mac keyboard with iMac and Office Word... down arrow goes up and up arrow goes down... left goes right and right goes left... what's the problem?

My keyboard is going the wrong way... down arrow goes up and up arrow goes down, only with microsoft word though... weird ! Any help would be appreciated! Thank!

Dear Daddy Paycheck
Your comment "a cheap" usb keyboard would work made me realize that I don't need to go to apple and purchase a new keyboard just to troubleshoot
I just figured that it had to be an "apple" keyboard, silly me!
so I just went and got my old compaq keyboard from my old computer in the trash pile. heck, a few quick requests to push the z and ? keys and it works great.
the apple now has tears on it, cause of the compaq keyboard, but too bad, it shouldn't have broke!!!! this compaq keyboard is 9 years old and still works great, why would I go spend $30 on another apple keyboard that only lasts 1 year??!

How do I fix bluetooth connection between mouse and keyboard with iMac. iPhone won't connect to bluetooth either

Bluetooth on Mac os x won't work with keyboard, mouse or iphone. Keyboard and mouse both have new batteries and go discoverable when switched on, i have gone into system setup and tried connecting. It connects briefly with mouse then drops in and out of connection, keyboard does same, asking for passcode then no connection. I'm lost... my phone can pick up keyboard, so i think it is bluetooth in mac.

Go to ~/LIbrary/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
Try re "pairing" the keyboard.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For Lion: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

Connect wireless keyboard to imac

How do I get my wireless keyboard to connect to my iMac? Both keyboard and mouse work fine with my MacBook Pro, but only the mouse is working with the IMAC?

Is the iMac a model built before the year 2006?
...Does your iMac run vintage Mac OS 9.2, pre-OS X?
{If not, you posted a question in a vintage PPC non-intel
discussion area that covers older architecture Macintosh
which cannot run an OS X later than Leopard 10.5.8.}
•Bluetooth - Apple Support:
http://www.apple.com/support/bluetooth/
You'd have to pair the BT keyboard with iMac; they
can only be paired to one device/computer at a time.
Hopefully any additional answers will be found
in the Bluetooth Support site linked above.
Good luck

Wireless Logitech keyboard

If anybody has a positive experience of compatibility the K800 wireless Logitech keyboard with MAC OS X Version 10.7.3?
I connected the KB to Mac mini with "Unifing" (Logitech) software installed, but I do not have full functionality: I have no NumPad working. Some of keys respond not correctly. For example, there is no "point" key at the Russian layout.
I asked Logitech support for the driver and they told: "All Logitech products works on standard OS drivers and if you have any problems with it it is better to contact Apple..."
Below - my correspondence with the Logitech support:
Logitech 02/28/2012 10:35 AM Dear Aeksei Thank you for contacting Logitech's Customer Care. Sorry, but no one has experience K800 on the MAC OS X Version 10.7.3 Best advise to you is to contact apple. They might help you with drivers.   Kind Regards Denis M. Logitech Customer Care - Asia-Pacific
Aleksei Pariy     02/27/2012 08:47 PM Thank you for the prompt reply. First of all, I want to assure you that the keyboard itself is working. It works without any problems in Windows 7. Mac Mini also properly functioning, I believe. It had been just bought and tested true. But, the keyboard in Mac OS X ... When I try to change the keyboard type, system reports that the keyboard should be identified and invites to press the key, right to "left shift" key. Then the system prompts to select the keyboard type of the three options:
- ISO European
- ANSI U.S.
- JIS Japan
None of these options lets work NumPad. I have no NumPad working. Some of keys respond not correctly. For example, there is no "point" key at the Russian layout. Please let me know if anybody has a positive experience with the K800 an the MAC OS X Version 10.7.3?
Logitech 02/27/2012 03:38 PM Dear Aeksei Thank you for contacting Logitech's Customer Care. You can use your keyboard on Mac. Only we do not have Software for it, but it should work without any s/w. All Logitech products works on standard OS drivers and if you have any problems with it it is better to contact Apple of Microsoft. To test keyboard you can try it on different PC and if problem stays - it is hardware, if not - software.   Kind Regards Denis M. Logitech Customer Care - Asia-Pacific
Aleksei Pariy     02/26/2012 10:50 AM Could I use Your K800 keyboard with Mac Mini (OS X Lion) and Unifing software installed? I use it, but not complete functionality. Could You indicate me the driver.

I have tried advice of Klaus1at http://bit.ly/wgi53h
Unfortunately it does not help. Logitech Control Centre says: No Logitech Device Found. The KB and Logitech mouse are possible to be controled only thpough Unifing software.

Error- bootr unkwown word, imac 266 HELP! Logitech keyboard

I was trying to upgrade my daughters imac, an old 266, with 224 ram (I think, I upgraded the ram a while ago) I tried installing osX (it had 8.5) and it seemed like it worked for that day, when I shut it down and tried to turn it on the next day it gave me the following error code: bootr unknown word, failed to boot, apple imac open, firmware 3 0 f3, .... it continues. I tried to start it up with its original startup disk, it doesnt do anything, I hold down the c key it only gives me the white screen with the error code. I have a Logitech keyboard because it was the cheapest I could find at the time I was on a budget. The keyboard is different, I think. I dont think I can reset the pram since the keyboard is different. What can I do? Please give me some suggestions.
Thanks
Marilee

Kattiusska,
Somehow you posted in the wrong forum. This area is for OS 9.x users. You will need to re post your question in the iMac (CRT) Forums where the iMac (CRT) users hang out can see your question & help you.
The following links may or may not help you. Click on the link for "Tray Loaders":
iMac (CRT) (FAQ)>
User-Contributed Tips & Answers>Fixing iMac(CRT) firmware/OS X problems
Firmware Problem Solver Thanks to Giles Kennedy.
=======================
Prior to installing OS X on an iMac you must "FIRST" update your firmware.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117 Mac OS X: Chart of Available Firmware Updates
=================
Your profile says that you're using OS X (10.0.x). That was a beta (experimental) version of OS X.
With your late model iMac, I would recommend that you either upgrade to Jaguar or Panther (if you insist on using the Cat Systems) or go back to OS 9.1 or 9.2.2. & make sure you max out your RAM.

Can i use a non-apple keyboard with my imac?

can i use a non-apple keyboard with my imac?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can use the keyboard you want with your iMac. However, note that some keys, as the Command key, aren't present in non-Apple keyboards. For example, in a non-Apple keyboard, you have to press the Windows key because that's the replacement of the Command key of an Apple keyboard
