New slim Keyboard for old G4 iMac

Would you guys recommend the new slim Apple Keyboard for my iMac G4 flat 17" 800mhz running on 10.4.10 OS X?
I was reading some threads that people are having some issues with it running in an older computer with some keys not working.
I appreciate your thoughts/feedbacks as always.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
You don't need Leopard to use that keyboard. Go to  menu > Software Update and update your iMac to 10.4.10. Then download and this keyboard update (link).
The keyboard is not a powered hub and so won't play nicely with all devices. On Alu iMacs the USB ports are higher power and so is the keyboard. I've yet to find a device that won't work on the Alu keyboard on the Alu iMac.
cheers

  • Function keys on new wired keyboard for old iMac don't workdon't work

    Apple replaced my original wired keyboard when keys had stopped working, but with the new wired keyboard the function keys don't work as the symbols on them indicate.  My concern is F10-F12 which are supposed to control volume.  F10 shows all open windows; F11 romoves open windowns from screen; F12 shows ttime, date, temperature, etc, like the top button on the mouse.  I have tried suggested ways to fix this through System Preferences, Keyboard/Mouse but none works.
    Can anyone solve this problem for me?

    I have the exact same problem.  My old keyboard unfortunately died after spilling fluid onto it.
    I purchased the same keyboard today.
    Everything works with it except I have the same problem as described here:  "

    Please help. This is frustrating.

  • The new logic keyboard for CS6

    Disclosure - Apart from as a "user", I am not involved with this product , company or resellers
    For those interested ...the new logic keyboard for CS6 is now available. (Mac and Windows)
    http://www.logickeyboard.com/shop/pc-slim-line-1034c1.html
    I have always been a fan of these.  Well built , solid and workflow helpful.
    This new cool slimline design is awesome as well.
    I would not have changed from my CS4-5 logic keyboard  except I am so pleased with new timeline trim functions and keyboard shortcuts in CS6 that I was compelled to upgrade to the new keyboard.
    I am even now...progressively re customising my keyboard preferences more in favour of the Default CS6 ones where as initially I was customising my CS5 based set up to work with CS6.
    Well done Adobe. 
    Changes to "Trimming in the sequence" has been my main highlight in CS6.
    Hover Scrub is another valued but lesser highlight.
    Speedgrade ...I am waiting to get excited there!

    Just a stupid question...
    You need to set your keyboard layout in windows to UK/US to use this keyboard, right? I am in Denmark, and need the special characters once in a while, but I guess I can use the character map commands to punch them in when needed.

  • New search criteria for old (standard) node?

    Is it possible to create script, which adds new search criteria for old (standard) node?
    CustomSearchExtensionHandler.jsx gives example of custom search criteria for custom node. But it is not clear for me, how to add new search criteria over standard XMP fields.

    Hi,
    First you create your own table (with fields like Vendor No and Name), in which you wants to store your Value range for that Vendor and fill this table with all the values for that vendor(your own set of values).
    Using this table create an Elementary search Help from SE11 and you can use that search help for the Vendor field where ever you use.
    This works fine.
    Regards,

  • Where can I get a new hard drive for my intel imac?  **** thing dumped, less than 3 years old.

    This is my first mac and the **** hard drive crashed in only 2+ years and of course the waranty is expired.  Can I replace the hard drive with any 3.5" replacement or do I need something special.  And if I do where can I get it?  I didn't see anything specifically for an intel imac at apple store.  I don't want to pay apple to install it, already spent enough money on this disappointing purchase.

    any 3.5" Sata drive will do.  I recommend http://www.macsales.com/, or http://www.newegg.com/

  • New Bluetooth Keyboard Not Working with iMac 2005

    I just purchased a refurbished 2009 wireless Mac keyboard for my computer at work to replace the old outdated one. However, when I try getting it to connect I encounter a problem. While its being picked up by the bluetooth just fine, it tells me that it is unable to actually connect. It tells me the keyboard itself does not have the 'services' required to connect to the computer. I'm not sure what this means? This is not an issue I have ever encountered before. If anyone can assist me with this issue I would greatly appreciate it.

    HI Michelle
    i have the same problem Also using an iMac21 inch late 2012. Has been working perfectly until 10.10.3. Now when the iMac wakes from sleep neither the mouse or keyboard are connected. The only recourse is to force a hard restart with the power button.
    i have tried all your above items and also to no avail. I have set sleep to wait indefinitely & that has resolved my issue. Albeit with an increase in energy use.
    I Would be grateful if anybody had some tips on how to resolve this situation.
    thanks

  • New Apple Keyboard for Dual G5 with KVM Switcher

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a Dual Mac G5 and a Dual Mac G4 with a Belkin KVM Switcher, so they are able to both share one monitor. I am not sure of the model number of the Switcher, but I bought it because it was recommended by Apple. It has worked flawlessly since I installed it over a year ago.
    My problem is this. I plugged the new Mac keyboard into the G5, where the old one was. When I did this, the Switcher just kept switching back and forth, on and off, and just was not behaving.
    Is there some software out there that I have to install that will enable me to plug in the new Mac keyboard without any problems with the KVM Switcher?
    Thank you for reading this. I would sincerely appreciate any help. Best Regards, Luke 77

    Just make F5 as your Dashboard...
    System Preferences---> Keyboard---> Shortcuts---> Mission Control---> (check mark Show Dashboard)---> Double click the current state (could be F12). When highlighted, hit the actual key "F5".
    From then on, you should be able to hit "F5" and it'll show the Dashboard for you.
    I believe there are at least two Apple Wireless keyboard out there. The one that I am on right now shows 6 squares on the F4 key. The other has the dial face on the F4 key. This one also has brightness control for the backlighting on the keyboard, or rather the built-in keyboard of a Mac Book (Air and Pro). Which are on the F5 and F6 keys. Why Apple did that, I have no idea.
    You could also use a Hot Corner to open the Dashboard. For instance use the upper left for it.
    System Preferences---> Mission Control---> Hot Corners (lower left of the window)---> Select the upper left and scroll to Dashboard.
    I personally like to have the Dashboard "fly" over my current screen/desktop. So I unchecked "Show Dashboard a Space."

  • Need to buy new hard drive for my 17 iMac G5 pre-isight

    I need to get a new hard drive for my imac g5. I went to staples and picked up a maxtor sata hd but the screws aren't in the correct place as the original HD. Does anyone know the exact HD that came with the computer and where I can purchase one?
    Best,
    Ken

    I think I figured it out. The reason why the screws aren't in the right place is because the original HD that comes with the computer has an external housing around it. I think what I need to do is just take that housing off and put it on the new HD that I purchase.

  • Do I need 2 keyboards for macbook and iMac in clamshell mode?

    Hi Experts, do I need 2 wireless keyboards to work with macbook pro connected to iMac in clamshell mode? or can the keyboard be switched from iMac to MacBook 'on the fly' (after activating TDM mode)?
    Problem is that when I activate TDM to display the MacBook screen on the iMac (used as the display only), the wireless keyboard is still connected to the iMac and can not be found by the macbook. So in clamshell mode, i.e. with a 'closed' macbook', I do not have a keyboard...
    Thanks and best regards, Chris

    Hello christoph128,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To get a wireless keyboard to work with multiple computers in any situation, you would first need to unpair the keyboard with the iMac, and then pair it with the MacBook Pro.  Since that's the case, it might be easier to either use a second wireless keyboard paired only with the MacBook Pro, or have a USB keyboard.

  • How to activate new pricing procedure for old Pur Document

    Dear all,
    we have added some condition type  in our pricing procedure,every thing is ok but my question is this new condition added in pricing procedure are not reflecting in previously created purchasing document/po, how can we do it
    I kw that if we create new po all condition will be reflec as per in pricing procedure
    shakir

    Hi
    Assign Document pricing procedure Z in VOV8 for CR document type , Now do the pricing procedure determination in OVKK with sales area + Cupp+Dupp=new pricing procedure
    Example :
    In OVKK, determine with 1000 + 10+ 10 + A+ 1 = standard pricing procedure for normal sales
    For credit memo in OVKK determine with 1000 + 10+ 10 + Z+ 1 = New pricing procedure for Credit memo
    Then when you create a sales order (with document type CR ) with reference to billing document then the new pricing procedure will get copied.

  • New aluminum keyboard for 24" iMac-10-key numbers not working??

    I've got a new 24" intel aluminum iMac I've only had for 2 weeks.
    Just today, the 10-key number pad stopped working & my programs froze up with no response from the might mouse plugged into the USB port on the keyboard.
    The keyboard viewer shows all of the keys being recognized & Apple Hardware Test showed no issues.
    I re-booted several times, did a permission repair & ran MacJanitor & when I rebooted again, I don't get any freeze-ups so far, but I do not have the function of the 10-key portion of my new aluminum iMac keyboard.
    Very strange, but it does seem to be software related.
    Something of interest: Only the 789-456+1230.enter keys are not working. Those above the 789 are working fine.
    And to re-iterate, the keys are all being recognized by the keyboard viewer onscreen.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    dave

    I didn't end up taking it in - I created a new user account & there were no problems with my keyboard.
    I transferred my home folder to the new account & started basically fresh.
    I guess my old user account was corrupted or messed up somehow.
    I have done this once before on my 1book g4 laptop & it also worked.
    Thanks for the suggestion, I was getting ready to pack it up for a trip to the Apple Store & remembered to try this at the last minute!
    Thanks again

  • New SLIM KEYBOARD

    I did the Update, so I could use the special keys for Volume and Play back on Itunes, I have a INTEL May 2006, 20 inch iMAC I DO not have the new Metal one. Keyboard works fine, except for the Expose KEY and the Widget KEY, that really doesn't bother me, I also can not FIX them in KEYBOARD prefs, but Ooo well, My main question is, I have a windows Partition installed, and I want to know why when I HOLD in the Alt/Option KEY BOOT CAMP does not go to the Screen like it would with the OLD keyboard ??? Or on this keyboard is there a New BUTTON you hold down or what ?? I mean I can just go to Restart using WINdows Partition, but Still It would be nice to know if I can still do it the Old way by holding down the Alt Key. If anyone has the same problem or has resolved this I would love to know. Thanks

    you are like me,
    we have to wait for the firmware update - hmmmm, this winter...
    from the mouths of Apple, and a 55 minute phone call...
    it will function on a Core 2 Duo, but not ours, Early 2006, Core Duos...
    sorry...
    in the mean time - for booting purposes, use the old white keyboard...
    BTW, There is NO such thing as a G5 Intel...
    Thanks,
    den

  • Purchased new wirless keyboard, as old one has broken. will not pair.

    My old wirless keyboard has broken, key was stuck, have tried to air out and possible dirt etc, however does not work, as a key is stuck i am unable to enter my password on my imac when i turn it on.
    so i decided to purchase a new keyboard as the old one is out of warranty
    i cant seem to be able to pair it.
    the userguide is telling me to pair a new keyboard u need go select 'bluetooth optiona' on the imac, however i cant do that, as i cant get into the imac as the old keyboard is broken?

    Most wired keyboards will work with your Mac.  So your best bet is to borrow one and use it to set up the new Bluetooth board.

  • New power adapter for old macbook - It doesn't work!

    Hello!
    My MacBook is 3 years old. My power adapter got broken at the end where you put it into the socket.
    Now I bought a new power adapter. The adapters have changed now. The end where you put it into the computer looks now a little bit different. But they told me in the Apple Store that it will also fit my 3 years old Macbook.
    At home it really fit my Macbook but it didn't charge. Nothing happened, no light. How can that be? Then I combined the two, the end for the socket of the new power adapter and the other part where you put it into the computer of my old power adapter. Now it charges. So is the problem after all the part where you put it into the computer of the new power adapter that looks different now?
    Or what can I try now?
    Thank you for help!
    Sorry for my bad English.

  • Mail sending new message notifications for Old Messages

    Hi,
    Since upgrading to Mavericks I've been having a ton of problems with the Mail App.
    I'm running on a Macbook Pro (13-inch Early 2011 Model) with 4gb of RAM and OS at version 10.9
    I have Mail connected to two different accounts 1 Gmail and one Exchange. The recently released "Mail Update" has not fixed these issues.
    The primary issue is that every time I have Mail open it constantly pops up notification badges to say that I have new messages. In fact it is sending these notifications for messages that are in most cases months old. Moreover even after confirming these the next day it will repeat this for the same exact messages. I've attempted to rebuild the index by deleting the Envelope files in the Library as suggested in another discussion topic. This didn't correct the problem. The result of this beyond the annoyance of having the notifications constantly popping us is it also seem to make my system grind to a halt - while it is parsing these sometime 100's - of notifications.
    I believe related to this (but not clear) is that in many cases delivery of messages to my exchange account is very very delayed. I will receive a message on my iPhone Mail app sometimes hours before it syncs into my Laptops Mail app (even with attempts at Manually checking mail.)
    Anyone have any suggestions on how to repair this issue?
    Thanks a ton,
    Mark

    Try this:
    Go into Preferences -> General and uncheck the box that says "Play sounds for other mail actions".
    I'm not sure if it will work since that's really still "new" mail, but it might be worth trying.
