Missing Keyboard in Mac

While I am in windows my keyboard works fine. When I switch to Mac I loose keyboard function. The fn-control-option-command and esc keys work, and the volume controls, up, down, an mute work but not for volume.Most of the regular keys for typing will not activate. ?
Thanks 4 any help.

Since your issue is with OS X you should probably post your question in the OS X discussions:

  • Where can I find mechanical keyboard for mac with nordic layout?

    I could find mechanical keyboards for mac, just not in nordic layout.

    On nordic layout keyboards, we have these letters: Æ Ø Å on the right side of the keyboard
    Additional physical keys are not needed, and no keyboard is likely to provide them. Instead, a keyboard translation table (software already included in your Mac) is used to change the function of the keys to the right of and below the P key.
    In the three Norweigian keyboard translations, those key translations [ Æ Ø Å ]are provided. One of the Swedish translations provides them as well. The only thing missing is the graphic on the standard key-cap. Use a sticker or a sharpie marker to write the graphic on the key.

  • Hi! I'm a Windows XP convert... switched to an imac about 4 months ago and am LOVIN' it  As a graphics designer I did use a feature on my Windows machine which I really miss on my mac... beaing able to see a preview of one of the images in a folder on top

    Hi! I'm a Windows XP convert... switched to an imac about 4 months ago and am LOVIN' it As a graphics designer I did use a feature on my Windows machine which I really miss on my mac... beaing able to see a preview of one of the images in a folder on top of the folder icon. In other words, in Windows, you can see the first image that is inside the folder as an icon on the folder itself. Is there a way to do this on the mac? Maybe some software program that will do it? Thanks for you help!

    It would be brilliant if Apple could make picture folders behave like events in iPhoto. You could see a photo on the folder, and also mouse over it to change pictures.
    But no, there's not an application I'm aware of that does this. You can manually make a picture the folder icon, but it's a tedious process.
    Unfortunately this is another example of how dated and worn out the Mac's interface is. The concept of using a file folder as the icon for a directory of images is so 80's. You could use coverflow, but that only helps once you're in the directory itself. Or use iPhoto or Aperture, although they just do photos. Or try Lyn as an alternative: it has a sort of iTunes-like interface, and makes it easy to organize photos without having to put them in iPhoto. And it can display photos that are already in Libraries.
    But you'd probably need a Finder alternative. I use Leap, which displays any type of document. It also does tagging, which is another huge omission in the Finder. More like Windows Explorer (although still no photo on folder icons).
    Another very stylish Finder alternative, especially useful for pictures, is FileBrowse. I don't know why it hasn't gotten more attention. It DOES put photo previews on the folders it shows. And allows one-click expansion to show the photo enlarged. It's super fast, and even allow you to group/sort by camera or flash! It really has to be seen to be appreciated. It works in Lion, although it doesn't seem to be have been updated lately. http://www.filebrowse.com/index.html

  • TS4196 Messages app is missing from my Mac.  What happened?

    Pretty sure I used it earlier this week.
    If I recall, I had a beta version.  I THOUGHT I paid a modest fee, like $1 for it later.  But now, it is missing from my Macs. 
    I DO have it on my iPod Touch.
    But there was not announcement about it being removed from my mac.  And I can't find anything on Google about it.

    You are correct that Messages was in Beta. However, it was free. If you paid for it, it wasn't from Apple. As for it disappearing, Apple may have removed it in an update or you may have deleted it. Either way, I do believe that the final version of Messages will appear on both Lion and Mountain Lion.

    These are user to user technical assistance forums, and nobody here represents Apple or any store.  In order to find out whether you can buy something at a particular store, you really need to find some way to contact the store directly.

  • Whats better for college/grad school- ipad 3 with keyboard or mac book air? 11 inch

    whats better for college/grad school- ipad 3 with keyboard or mac book air? 11 inch

    Nobody can tell you which one is best for you, it's a personal preference. However, here are a few factors you might want to take into consideration:
    1-They're two different devices that serve different purposes. The way you take notes in an iPad is different than the way you would on a MBA. On the iPad, with apps like Evernote and Notability you can take more complete notes than with a MBA. You have the option to have audio notes, write with a Stylus, make diagrams by hand to explain/relate concepts easily. With the external keyboard (for that I'd recommend using the Apple Wireless Keyboard with the InCase Origami Workstation) you could type just as fast as you would on a MBA and format the text just like you would on the MBA. However, for bigger (possibly partner) papers, the MBA would help you. You could start the paper on the iPad without any issues (using Pages or even Evernote) but you'd need a laptop/computer to finalize the project.
    2-Portability wise, they're both incredibly light. The iPad is somewhat smaller = lighter but with the keyboard they're about the same. The fact that with the ipad + keyboard combo you can take out the keyboard only when you need it, for me, is an advantage be ause when I don't want to use it, it's not in the way. For others, it's a disadvantage because you have to carry two items instead of one.
    3-The iPad needs a computer to be updated, synced, etc. So if you don't have one, definitely get the MBA. The MBA can work as a standalone computer. The iPad needs to be synced to an iTunes library in a computer.
    4-MBA let's you access all websites and most file types. If one of your classes requires you to go to the Browser and see a Flash enabled page, the iPad would not be of much help. Same goes for any programs you might need to install. On the MBA you'll most likely be able to do so. On the iPad, chances are there won't be an app for that.
    5-If you already have a MBP or any other laptop, I'd go for the iPad. If/when the iPad falls short(because of the limitations mentioned above) you can use the laptop. And in the mean time, use the iPad for everything else. That way you get the best of both worlds.
    6-Studying (reading, highlighting, annotating) is easier and more intuitive on the iPad. The iPad is great for reading, combine that with the fact that you can leave comments/notes just like you would on a physical piece of paper, and you've got the best way to learn IMO.

  • Missing keyboard lock icon 8530

    Just upgraded to new OS,missing keyboard lock icon. How do you lock keyboard?

    Hello,
    You have upgraded to the point where the function changed. To lock the keyboard, you now press (and quickly release) one of the hard keys on top (usually the power key). But, this is only a keyboard lock...not a full device lock. The only way a screen icon exists anymore is if you create a device lock password...then you would have an icon to activate that.
    Good luck!

  • IHome iConnect Multi Media Keyboard for Mac

    I have an iHome iConnect Multi Media Keyboard for Mac.  It was working great until an Apple update didn't like it anymore.  It locked up my computer and because I didn't know what was wrong cost me $300 to fix.  I've contacted iHome, but gotten no where with them.  This happened last summer!  No one seems to want to take responsibility for the fact that I have a $100 keyboard I can't use.  Anybody else run into this?  If so what did you do?

    Everything back to normal today compared with yesterday as link here:

  • HT203421 Mountain Lion download has messed up my calendar. One calendar is missing on my MAc but not on my ipad or iPhone

    Mountain Lion download has messed up my calendar. One calendar is missing on my Mac but not on my ipad or iPhone

    OKAY FOLKS, I found the answer.  I figured the only explination could be with my iCloud Account.  I tried EVERYTHING, read every discussion on this topic.  It WASN'T b/c I had an old Mobile Me account.  It WASN'T b/c I didn't have the sttings right.  I rebooted, erased data, EVERYTHING.  The only solution was to create a NEW iCloud account - I chose a new address through Apple (me.com).  Even though I already have a me.com email address and a different Apple ID I figured starting fresh was the only way.  Sadly, I lost all of my calendar data (when I tried to import my old calendar data from a backup it was associated with the old iCloud account and could not be edited) but my contacts were saved.  I just re-entered my calendar information... figured this would be less time consuming than trying to reboot and research the issue 10 more hours!
    Here are the steps I used:
    1- iCloud was OFF on my iPhone to start
    2- Export your iCal and iContacts data from your Mac to a backup (you WILL lose your data)
    3- On iPhone went to Settings, iCloud and went through the proper steps to set up a new iCloud account with a NEW email address (me.com)
    4- On iMac under System Preferences I deleted my OLD iCloud account (it will prompt you stating you will lose your data or you can merge/save).  The only way I could get it to work was to accept the warning it was going to delete everything
    5- Set up a NEW iCloud account on my Mac with the NEW me.com account I set up on my iPhone.  Somehow my Contacts were kept in tact, uploaded to iCloud and to my iPhone.  Had issues with my iCal data, but I entered all the information manually.
    Everything is syncing great!  Haven't set this up yet on my iPad but will do that next.  I'm hopeful!!
