Option Key not working with Boot Camp.

Hi all,
I installed Boot Camp on my new Alu Imac 24" (wired keyboard) and when booting up the option key that should bring up the boot options doesn't work. Is this a known fault with the slimline keyboard and Boot Camp??
I have tried all different combinations of power button and Option key but nothing works.
Any suggestion?
Cheers

have you updated with iMac Software Update 1.0
and latest firmware?

  • Magic Mouse Not Working with Boot Camp.

    Hi All,
    I have a wired issue here. I installed Windows XP on my iMac 27" using bootcamp and all worked fine till one day my Magic Mouse stopped working in Windows. Now the funny part is windows is able to detect my mouse and says that the device is working normally but the green light under my mouse is OFF. No matter what i try i cannot get it to come on. But the moment i boot to Mac OS X the mouse works perfectly fine. My Apple Wireless KB works just fine in Windows. A USB mouse also works fine. I have also installed Parallels on my Mac and when i boot into the Windows partition using Parallels the Magic Mouse works fine. Any idea as to whats going on here.?

    I have a new (July 2009) iMac24 and neither the wireless mighty mouse nor keyboard work with Boot Camp XP Home Edition SP3. They install OK with the Bluetooth control panel, but then after five or ten seconds, drop out of the control panel and have to be discovered again. I spent two hours today with a Mac support expert, but no joy. We both gave up. It seems the wireless mouse/keyboard does not work with Boot Camp. If anyone hears of a solution, please let me know.

  • Mouse not working with Boot Camp after 10.5.7 update

    I upgraded to 10.5.7 recently, and now my mouse doesn't work on Boot Camp. It doesn't seem to register, and I can't move the pointer. I tried this with two mice that worked just fine on the Mac OSX side. Any ideas? Has anybody else noticed this?

  • ISight is not working with boot camp

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook Pro and very satisfied with it. Formerly I worked with Windows XP, so I decided to buy a Macbook and use boot camp. Everything was fine. In my enthusiasm I bought the LED cinema display. Very good display but the iSight camera is not reliable working with boot camp. There is no driver available. Sometimes the camera is recognized as video device but mostly not. When the camera is not recognized then there is a yellow exclamation mark in the device manager. I don't know what to do. Is anybody working with boot camp and the iSight build in the LED cinema display? And what driver do you use? Hopefully I get some help here. Everything is working convenient except this issue.
    Thank you, Frank

    Sorry, I think I mixed some things. I tried several contellations to find out what is going wrong. The iSight is woking with my MacBook (and boot camp). But it is not working with other Laptops or PCs (all with Windows XP). It is working really rarely but not reliable and not replicatable. In all cases I tried only the USB connector from the LED cinema display. Audio, micro and hub is always working without problems. The iSight driver delivered with the Macbook is not working (only with the Macbook itself). If I had known this before I think I would buy the display although. The display is great. But it is a pity that the iSight is not working when you do not use Apple hardware. May be I will buy the Mac Pro in one or two years when I need a new PC. Perhaps someone can answer if Windows XP is working without problems on a Mac Pro? And is the iSight build in the LED cinema display working (Mac Pro and boot camp)?

    Did you install the correct driver for your Windows version? Are you saying the mouse does not work in Windows after Windows is installed?

  • Wireless keyboard not working with Boot Camp

    I have a brand new 15" Macbook Pro.  I need to run Windows for work so I installed Boot Camp and Windows 8.1.  I have a HP wireless keyboard with a USB dongle.  It will not work at all.  Windows recognizes that I've plugged in the dongle but the keyboard won't work at all.  It's a brand-new keyboard and the batteries show full charge.  All drivers look good in device manager.  When I went thru the Windows troubleshooter, which is typically worthless, it said something about the dongle being USB 2.0 and the Mac's USB is 3.0.  But shouldn't it be backward compatible?  It has no problem with my old wireless mouse with a USB dongle.
    I also notice a significant difference in the clarity on my dual external monitors with Windows instead of OSx.  The colors aren't as sharp and the text isn't as clear - kind of fuzzy.  Is that just how it goes with boot camp, or is there anything I can do, like maybe an upgraded driver, to get the same clarity on my dual monitors with Windows like I get with OSx?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Unfortunately I can't turn off Bluetooth in Win 8.1.  I go to the page where i should see the slider and the page just spins and spins.  I thought my install might be hosed so I blew it away and did a fresh boot camp install.  Still no joy; BT still spins - and I still can't connect to the USB keyboard.  I can plug the dongle in and see it in devices, and it says it's ready to go but the keyboard doesn't work.  It's brand-new and has worked on a Windows box so I know it's not a bad keyboard.  Maybe time to go back to a Windows box and ditch boot camp?

  • Will Windows 8.1 upgrade work with Boot Camp on OS X Mavericks?

    Will Windows 8.1 upgrade work with Boot Camp on OS X Mavericks?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. Make a backup of your files in Windows, and install Windows 8.1 as an upgrade. The Windows support software supports it without any issue, so if it is updated, you do not have to worry

  • Using shift key not working with bluetooth keyboard

    Am I missing something here? Or does the shift key not work with the iphone using a bluetooth keyboard?  I'm using the logitech K810 for reference on iphone 6 iOS 8.1

    The shift key works just fine on my Bluetooth keyboard.  So I would imagine this is an issue with your keyboard.

  • DB Adaptor import table option does not work with the AS400 DB

    1. The DB Adaptor import table option does not work with the IBM i-series(AS/400) tables(Both in ESB and BPEL).
    2. Also I was not able to import tables from multiple databases into
    the same BPEL project.

    Both of these issues work in preview version. My earlier posting was based on beta version testing.

  • Brightness and volume control keys not working with windows 7?

    brightness, volume control and some other keys keys are not working with windows 7 with macbook pro retina. Can I fix it?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Have you installed Boot Camp drivers? You need them to make your computer work properly on Windows, and to use your function keys as Play or Pause, volume and brightness keys.
    To install them, follow these steps:
    1. Press the X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X.
    2. Open Boot Camp Assistant and tick only the option to download Windows support software.
    3. Windows support software will be downloaded and Boot Camp Assistant will ask you to burn it into a DVD or USB drive, so do it.
    4. Start into Windows, insert the DVD or USB drive and install Boot Camp drivers. Your Mac and your volume and brightness keys will be working after installing the drivers

  • Option key not working osx 10.9.4

    Hi!
    i have a problem with the option-key for some shortcuts and specifically in photoshop.
    does someone had this problem before or has any idea for a solution?
    Thanks!

    Yam, I'm using 10.6.8, not 10.9, but I wonder if you might have the same problem I had. It turns out I had inadvertently pressed a keyboard combination that invoked Unicode/Hex Input from the Language & Text preferences, and this prevented the option key from working.
    To see if this is the problem do the following (these instructions are for OS 10.6.8; 10.9 will probably have these configured differently):
    Open System Preferences > Language & Text.
    Click the Input Sources tab.
    At the very bottom, on the right, check the box beside "Show Input menu in menu bar" (there may be an easier way but I don't know of it).
    Now, in your Mac menu bar, find the Text Input menu which may look like your national flag, but may not (especially if this is your problem).
    On my system, the icon is just to the right of the speaker volume and just to the left of the battery level icon.
    You should see your flag and/or language (U.S. in my case.)
    Instead, what I saw was this:
    To change it back, click the Text Input icon in your menu bar and choose your language from the drop-down menu:
    If this was your problem, you'll want to disable the keyboard shortcut so that this doesn't happen again:
    Open System Preferences > Keyboard.
    Select the Keyboard Shortcuts tab.
    Find Select next source in Input menu in the list on the right. If it is checked, uncheck it.
    I hope this helps you or someone else. I spent a long time looking before I stumbled upon the answer.

  • Option Key Not Working Correctly

    Hi All,
    I'm having a very strange issue with my Option Key all of a sudden. It has stopped functioning as an Option Key and will ONLY increase the volume setting. When I bring up the keyboard viewer the Option Key won't register, it just turns up the volume. I've repaired permissions from my install disk and restarted a few times, but it didn't help. It's a VERY annoying problem, and I'd really appreciate any help at all. Thanks.

    Thanks for the response, eww.
    I was beginning to think it was a hardware issue, too. BUT, I turned my laptop off last night (instead of putting it to sleep like usual) and now this morning the Option key is working fine again. Seems very odd to me, since I restarted my computer a few times last night and the problem was still there. Perhaps it's heat related?
    I'm just wondering now if it's a sign of more troubles to come or just a bizarre random occurrence.
    Thanks a again.
