Num Lock on new Aluminum Keyboards?

Anyone know how to enable Number Lock on the new aluminum keyboards? This is usually not an issue with Macs (as by default num-lock is assumed on), but I use remote desktop to control a Windows server and I can not use my number pad because you would normally need to engage num lock to be able to do this on Windows.
On my old Apple keyboard there was an actual Num Lock button (shared function with the Clear button).
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Try any of the following F13 to F19, because an standard pc keyboard does not have theses keys, so it might be possible.

Same here, have you figured out a solution?
The iMac aluminum keyboard has no designated key, and the Leopard solutions do not work.

Where's the num lock?

Does anyone know how to toggle the num lock? My number pad stopped working on my other iMac (G4), and I can't use it. When I try, the computer freezes for a couple seconds then resumes working. I can't find out where the darn num lock is.

There was a key labeled 'num lock' on the older keyboards but it never really did anything (Apart from also being the 'clear' key) I don't think as I don't think Apple ever really used Num loc (There really wasn't a need as numbers were all the keys did)
Usually when the numerics keypad stops working its because Mouse keys has been switched on somehow and the numerics pad is now being used to move the pointer.
To turn it off (Or make sure its off already) go to
'System preferences' 'Universal Access' Click on the 'Mouse' tab at the top and make sure Mouse Keys is off.

Num lock on under windows

anyone have a quick solution to this?
It's fine under OS X, but when I switch to Windows the num lock light on the keyboard stays on no matter what I try?

The fn + f6 didn't do much - but thanks anyway.
Has no one else out there had this issue?

Num Lock on laptop

I have an hp Envy 6 sleekbook, and I was wondering if anyone knows where the Num Lock button is located. I need to be able to type accented letters for an online Spanish class. The teacher gave me instructions; however, I cannot find the Num Lock button on my keyboard.

Hi Baileyreneehill,
Normally only a big form factor notebook like 17" platform, which has extra key pad, has the number lock function. The Envy 6 sleekbook has not this button for it. Check your teacher for other alternative.
Best rgds,

Turning On Num Lock Keys

I can't seem to figure out how to turn on the num lock keys on my keyboard. I have an iMac 20" with the standard keyboard and supermouse. I've tried searching the support pages.
Thanks,
kayjh

I've worked the problem out (I used Apple Chat assisstance). In Preferences, Universal Access, Mouse Keys - the Mouse Keys must be set to "off" which will then enable the Num Keys.
I'm not sure how you use the mouse keys as well as the num keys, but I guess I'll work that out later.
Thanks for your help,
kayjh

Strange caps lock / num lock issue after sleep

When I return to my desktop after the macbook has been put to sleep sometimes the CAPS LOCK / NUM LOCK are activated on keyboard. Actually it's not activated, it is only the small green dots on the keys that shine, however when typing anything it's not in CAPS.
This is really strange and I have no idea why this happens? Any one else got this, and/or a possible solution?

sorry for this dubblepost. Anyway please answer my question

Numeric keypad locked Mavericks on Mac Mini Older Wired Keyboard

Using Mac mini on mavericks and I can't unlock or get the extended numeric keypad to work
I have tried two different wired USB old style apple keyboards and the extended numeric keypad won't work using either keyboard
I've tried pressing the Num Lock key and holding it down
Something I don't know? Please help

If you can't get this sorted out, why not just buy a new $12 Logitech usb optical mouse from Walmart, which will have left and right mouse buttons.
Control+click is the same thing as clicking with the right mouse button on a two-button mouse. Problem solved.
BTW I use these inexpensive Logitech mice on all the Minis I set up.

I got a external Apple Wired Keyboard (w/ NumPad), caps lock mapped to control doesn't work with tab + caps lock + shift

I got a external Apple Wired Keyboard (w/ NumPad) since I'm a developer. I have used control panel > keyboard > modifier keys to make the caps lock key the control key. I can't get it to work when I press caps lock (which maps to control) +shift + tab (which I use to change tabs backwards).
Any ideas? It works when I use the regular control key, and it works on my built-in MBPro keyboard. Thx!

Hi Steve, Welcome to apple discussions.
Hmm, that is a strange problem. Well, you've already done what I would suggest which is to go to the keyboard settings and click the "Restore defaults" button in the modifier keys window and try again. If that doesn't work then you can restart the computer and check. If that doesn't work you can try to reset the pram. Hold the optioncommand+PR buttons after you hear the startup chime, it should chime again, I let it chime a third time just for good measure and see if things look better.
If that fails then you can try making another account and seeing if the caps lock works in the new account. There might be some strange error on your account that would be corrected for in a new account. After that it gets more labor intensive. Do a system re-install, do an erase and install.
You might consider a trip to the apple genius bar there in Honolulu if can. The should be able to run through all that for you. You're still under warrantee so take advantage and get some help.
Oh, and just a disclaimer that I learned from Adam on the maccast podcast. Make a full, complete backup including a time machine and bootable (like superduper or carbon copy cloner) disk before you do any of the above or take the unit it for service.
Hope this helps.

Can I connect a wired keyboard to my iPhone 5S while stuck on the lock screen? (Need answers ASAP)

My iPhone's screen is unusable/broken on the right side of it so I can't enter the passcode on it and I can't access the Notification Center or the Control Center. Touch ID and Siri is disabled until I can enter the passcode and iTunes won't let me back it up until I enter the passcode. I have a replacement iPhone 5S here, but I want to restore it with the backup so I don't lose all of my stuff.
I was wondering if anyone knows if I can connect a wired keyboard to my iPhone while on the lock screen before I go and spend the money on one?
I was looking at something like this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Belkin-B2B115-Wired-Keyboard-for-Apple-iPad-with-Light ning-Connector/35255242
Unless anyone knows anything else I can try?

Are you serious... only bluetooth keyboards? Even if the keyboard has the lightning connector? This supposedly works on the iPhone: http://store.griffintechnology.com/wired-keyboard-for-ios-devices
