Note input with computer keyboard?

I like writing music from the score. In score editor, is it possible to enter notes from my computer keyboard instead of dragging note values from the part box? (I'm not referring to a midi keyboard, but rather the standard computer keyboard)
Programs like Sibelius enable you to do this by a combination of entering numbers on your computer keyboard's numeric keypad (1 for quarter note, e.g.) along with entering note names (a,b,c,d, etc), also on the computer keyboard.
As Logic is more robust than Sibelius, I'd love to find a way to make note inputting from the computer keyboard a possibility.
Thanks.

Logic 9 not responding to computer keyboard correctly

In Logic Pro 9, dialog boxes (such as the Save As) do not receive the computer keyboard strokes. Instead, Logic processes them as key commands. This even though the dialog box has the focus and the mouse can select fields and highlight their entries. Very strange. Typing sometimes works correctly, but usually not. And once it doesn't, even if it did earlier, I must reboot to have a hope to fix it.
This happens with the Save As dialog, and with any other dialog box that has typeable fields.
I am current on Logic 9 and Mac OS X.

Okay, I figured out enough to work around it and to fix it without having to restart Logic or reboot. I can't work out the exact chain of events to reproduce it, but here are the important things to do if it happens. And BTW, it happens to me on the File>Bounce dialog box, not the File>Save As dialog. I assume this is actually a bug.
1.) Sometimes the key commands do get disabled, and none of them work. So you have to go to Logic Pro > Preferences > Key Commands and select Options > Initialize. Just like immo says.
2.) Sometimes, this isn't enough. In which case, do two more things...
3.) Be sure the Arrange subwindow has the focus (ie, the white band around the window), and
4.) Be sure the first time you try to enter anything into the Bounce dialog window it is in the Save As filename field, not the End measure numeric field (or any other). If I try to enter any keyboard values into any other field first, I can't and I also can't then enter anything into the Save As field either. I then just have to start over again with the key command initialization step and so on.
These workarounds combined have allowed me to always recover from this issue. Though I do have to do them multiple times in a session, at least when I'm bouncing down.
Thanks everyone for your input and help!
Best,
Brian

I am running 10.8 and I am trying to get a E-mu 1x1 midi/usb connector to work with my keyboards. It's not working with any keyboard at all. I believe it is a Mainstage/Mac issue. Mainstage can recognize the the interface but it won't work.

Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

ipod will not update with computer: i get error 3194.. i updated itunes and still nothing. tryed to restore,same thing... now i have no music(random) and 1.6 GB of "OTHER"....help me

This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.

What version of the Mac OS are you running (from "About this Mac" under your Apple menu)?

Ipad not connect with computer. error number (0xE8000084), ipad not connect with computer error number (0xE8000084)

ipad not connected to computer. erreo number (0xE8000084)

Hello Mohamed Abdo,
It sounds like you are unable to connect your iPad to the computer because you get this error code when you try. I would use the troubleshooting for these types of errors from the following article:
iOS: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3221
Start with these steps, and there are additional steps in the article if you need them:
1. Restart your computer.
2. Install the latest version of iTunes.
3. Verify that your computer meets the minimum system requirements. iOS devices require the following minimum version of Windows:
Windows XP Service Pack 3
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Windows 8
4. Download and install any available software updates from Microsoft.
5. Connect the device directly to your computer; not to an external USB hub. Find out if your computer has USB 2.0 ports.
6. Check that the Dock Connector or Lightning Connector on both the device and cable are clean of any lint or other debris. If possible, connect your device using a different Apple 30-pin to USB cable or Apple Lightning Connector to USB cable.
7. Disconnect other USB peripherals from your computer, with the exception of your keyboard and mouse. After disconnecting these peripherals, restart your computer, connect your device, and open iTunes.
8. Connect your device to a different USB port on your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

+shift+ delete and +delete not working with external keyboard...

Most of the time, when I try to send a file to the trash or empty the trash using the keyloard shortcuts, it will only work if I use my laptop keyboard but not my external apple keyboard hooked up to it. Ocassionally it will work with my external keyboard, but most of the time it wont.
Does anyone have similar problems to this or know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The only other thing I can think of is that the Finder can sometimes be slow in updating its view of reality. This is a perennial gripe about OSX. So maybe the issue is not the keyboard, but the Finder itself. Are you a fast typist? Try taking 3 deep breaths before using these key combos the next time you try to delete. Maybe that will let the finder catch up.
I only suggest this because, otherwise, the problem is pretty inexplicable.

Caret character in numbers (iWork09) not working with german keyboard

The caret caracter used to express "power to" in formulas can not be typed into formulas with the german keyboard layout. Using the caret key nothing happens. For text and strings in cells the caret key works. In iWork08 everything is fine. For formulas the caret character has such to be inserted using copy and paste.
This is more or less a bug report. I could not find a way to tell Apple directly.
Matthias

Thanks
I'm glad to get this info because I thaught that it was linked to physical keyboards which it isn't.
Report sent:
*Your tracking number for this issue is Bug ID# 6491581.*
Hello
+In Numbers '09 we are unable to type the caret in this kind of formula =2^3 when we are using a keyboard layout where this key is a dead one.+
+I tested Numbers in three languages:+
English
French
German.
+They behave exactly the same way with the keyboards layout where caret is a deadkey.+
+Examples of tested layouts:+
French,
German,
Swedish
+At this time, we must use the Character Palette (or a copy paste) to enter the caret.+
+I wish to add that this bug strikes only in the "edit formula" tool.+
+Whe we type the content of a string, it works.+
+We may use the caret to type the circumflex above thr e in this example:+
+="c'est" & " le même"+

White screen, not syncing with computer- tried holding buttons please help?

Please help. The screen of my daughters 4th gen ipod has frozen white. Have tried syncing the frozen ipod with computer but it is not recognised. I have treid holding home and sleep button at the same time but no change. Would be prepared to do a reset but the computer cannot recognise it. Have read various other responses to questions and am currently leaving the batteries to drain. None of this is helped by the fact that my daughter is sobbing about it in my ear! Ahhhhh

i fitted into my other A10 and all keys work so keyboard is fine.
All works ok with usb keyboard. Had motherboard out all seems ok.
Any help plz
chris....
Message was edited by: widgy

Hi
Why do you think that the motherboard is ok?
Maybe its a keyboard controller issue
Did you check if the cable was connected properly?
In my opinion if you are 100% sure that the keyboard is ok then the issue must be related to the motherboard because there is no other part which is placed between the keyboard and mobo.
Bye
