Oxygen 8 keyboard not recognized

Hi!
I have borrowed an Oxygen 8 keyboard from a friend to use in Garageband 3 on my iBook.
Under system profiler it seems to be recognised - it says that there is a vend_device attached. However, the keyboard is not recognized in System Preferences and when I open GB preferencesI only have the Built-In Audio option.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

when I open GB preferencesI only have the Built-In Audio option.
Which is as it should be, a MIDI keyboard is not an audio device.
What you should see is a dialogBox that says "1 MIDI Device Detected" when you open GB.
The first thing I would check is your Audio MIDI Setup utility
Next thing I would wonder is if you need to have a driver for this keyboard. You should search the web site of the manufacturer to see if there is one.

Keyboard not recognized by computer. Instructed to go to settings but can't since I can't key in my password

My wireless keyboard is not recognized by my computer. I changed the batteries to make sure that wasn't the problem. According to online help (via my iPad), I need to update settings so that keyboard is recognized (via wifi). The problem is that I can't get to the setting since I can't key in (via the keyboard) my password! It worked before....not sure why it is no longer recognized.

Hi Keyboard less,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are having trouble setting up your bluetooth wireless keyboard with your iMac. There is a great article that shows how to set up the keyboard via bluetooth on your iMac.
Bluetooth: How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1809
Press and release the On/Off switch to turn on your wireless keyboard.
The green LED should begin blinking if the keyboard is not already paired and connected to another computer. The blinking LED indicates that the keyboard is in the discoverable mode. If you don't pair your keyboard with your Mac within three minutes, the indicator light and keyboard will turn off to preserve battery life. If this happens, press the On/Off switch to turn your keyboard on again. Note: If the LED doesn't turn on, make sure you have good batteries in the keyboard and that they are properly installed.
On the computer you wish to pair the keyboard with, choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Keyboard from the View menu.
Click “Set Up Bluetooth Keyboard ...” in the lower-right corner to open Bluetooth Setup Assistant.
Select your wireless keyboard, then follow the onscreen instructions to pair it with your Mac. You will be asked asked to enter an 8 digit passkey. Important: You MUST press Return after you enter the 8 digit code.
Note: You need to enter the 8-digit code and press Return within a certain timeframe or the process will time out. If this happens, repeat the pairing process from step 1.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

Wireless mouse and keyboard not recognized

I know that I have had this issue before, but can't remember what the solution is (old age?) My iMac G5 PPC has a wireless mouse and keyboard (the old apple white one). The iMac came with these as an option but WITHOUT the bluetooth card inside. (I still don't know how this works, but it does). Anyway, the mouse and keyboard were not recognized when I tried to get on today. The batteries are good. If I go to system prefs (using an even older wired mouse) there is no bluetooth option (since no card is present). I don't know how to get the computer to try to recognize both. Any help is definitely appreciated.

HI David,
If the iMac didn't come with Bluetooth software/hardware, then are you using a USB Bluetooth dongle?
And open System Profile (Applications/Utilities)
Select Bluetooth on the left under Hardware. You may need to click the gray disclosure triangle so it faces down. What does it say on the right?
If the Bluetooth icon is in your Status Menu Bar (top right in your screen). Click the icon and make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Then click: Open Bluetooth Preferences and try re-pairing the mouse and keyboard.

White Wireless keyboard not recognized

I have a white wireless keyboard that is no longer recognized as a keyboard by my MBP. Bluetooth is working on my MBP (can pair with other devices) and clearly the keyboard is able to send data as the set up assistant can "see" the keyboard under the any device option, but it is listed as "apple wireless keyboard unknown type device).
This all began after a battery change. Many options have been tried to resolve, not successful so far. Are there others having this same trouble where the keyboard is recognized but as an unknown type?
For history on this topic see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1288138&tstart=60
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello ProfT!
I have exactly the same trouble with my white wireless keyboard. I was on the topic you mention.
Hope we'll find help at least...

Wireless keyboard not recognized

Every time I restart since installing Yosemite, the wireless keyboard is not recognized. It takes several minutes for the keyboard to be found and then I must enter a code before it is recognized. The batteries are new. How do I get the keyboard to automatically load?

Try resetting the PRAM.

Apple keyboard not recognized while installing WinXP

I posted my WinXP Pro installation problems earlier in this forum but I think having recognized the problem: When Bootcamp boots the machine from the WinXP-CD, it seems that my USB-keyboard (tried both: aluminium and old white plastic) is not recognized, meaning that I cannot input anything to tell the Win installer to proceed. The symptom I see is that the green light of the caps lock key is not there. This probably means that the keyboard is not connected as it should be. Could it be that this is due to the OS 10.5.6 Update? On earlier machines and with earlier versions of Leopard I did not have this problem.
Please advise.

Same here until my partner provided her usual keen insight - use a Windows keyboard!
Until you have completed the WinXP installation and then re-inserted your OS X/Mac Install CD 1, Windows can only establish comms with a Windows-specific keyboard, not a Mac-specific keyboard. The Win USB Mac-keyboard drivers contained in Boot Camp are not installed until you start up the OS X/Mac Install CD 1....
Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 worked for me (~£20). Will probably continue using this when running WinXP for any extended period; saves having to learn new key combinations.
BTW: I found that once WinXP was installed, downloading and installing the drivers contained in Boot Camp 2.1 from the Apple website greatly improved both control (eg Nvidia driver) and responsiveness of WinXP.
Hope you (all) find this useful; thanks are due entirely to my partner, bless her.

Keyboard not recognized in USB hub after 10.6.3 update

After updating to 10.6.3 (using combo updater) the keys on my Apple extended keyboard that shipped with my 24" iMac (2008) no longer work when the keyboard is connected through my Belkin powered USB hub. But oddly enough, the wireless mouse that is connected to the keyboard does work. So the keyboard is recognized and connected properly, but the keys don't work! It's definitely a software thing.
I don't have enough free USB ports on the back of my iMac to dedicate to my keyboard. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I have the same problem. I found I can unplug the keyboard and when replugged, everything works OK.
I just upgraded to OS V10.6.4 and still must unplug and replug the keyboard in order to type.

Usb keyboard not recognized in mac - working in windows

Hello,
I am facing a strange issue with a usb numeric keyboard.
After some plug-ins/outs one night, it stopped being recognized in my iMac.
Actually, system profiler shows the following:
Vendor-Specific Device:
Product ID:          0x6560
Vendor ID:          0x04b4 (Cypress Semiconductor)
Version:          90.15
Speed:          Up to 480 Mb/sec
Location ID:          0x26200000 / 3
Current Available (mA):          500
Current Required (mA):          Unknown (Device has not been configured)
The keyboard, doesn't work either with my MacBook Pro. USB ports are working fine with any other devices.
I recently tried with a windows machine of a friend and the keyboard worked fine there.
Both my macs are running 10.6.8
Any ideas ?

Keyboard not recognized when waking up from suspend

Hello people,
I have a HP Pavilion 11-n030ar x360 laptop (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04439109).
Every time the laptop wakes up from suspend, the keyboard isn't responsive anymore (even after waiting more than 10 minutes) so when I am using i3 I must hard shutdown which is really annoying.
I rebooted 3 times in a row and the keyboard wouldn't be recognized (despite that the keyboard was responsive at the grub menu, because I dual boot with Windows).
Here's the output of dmesg at waking up:

I hope to diagnose the problem so that I can fix it, but from the dmesg message, it's not clear to me what's wrong.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I just started having the same problem on my desktop. Nothing in the logs that I can find, just Suspending system... and that's it.
I don't think the keyboard is working at all, I would at least be able to reboot in the dark, not to mention Caps/Num lock lights won't come on either.
Mine started after I went from 3.13.5 > 3.13.6, but I also upgraded nvidia (331 > 334) and systemd (208-210) in the same -Syu, amongst others.

MIDI keyboard not recognized

I have just installed a Yamaha PSR-GX 76 keyboard, along with the most recent driver. I have plugged in the USB connection and it does not appear that the computer, or at least Garageband is recognizing the keyboard. How do I test this and what do I do to make this work?

Im having the same issuse with my microKORG.
But I do know if Garage Band is recognizing your keyboard the blue dot will flash in the blue display panel when you press a key.

Trouble installing WinXP - keyboard not recognized?

I'm trying to install XP on my iMac. I have partitioned the hard drive with Boot Camp and then I start to install Windows. It seems to be working but when it gets to the screen where it asks me to select the partition I want to install Windows on, I cannnot select anything. Pressing the Up and Down arrows does nothing. The entire keyboard seems not to be recognized, as pressing any keys has no effect. I have to turn off the iMac with the power switch and restart.
Could it be that XP doesn't recognize the Apple keyboard that came with the iMac? It's a 20", 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo.

You don't say if the Apple keyboard is wired or bluetooth. A bluetooth keyboard doesn't work at this stage of the installation because the bluetooth driver is not installed. You would need a wired keyboard (and mouse?).
2nd problem. What size is your partition? If it is under 32GB, Windows will happily install to a FAT32 partition. Boot Camp creates a FAT32 partition of any size that you set it at. I don't know why XP does not give you the option to format NTFS but that's normal. All is not lost. Later, after the installation is completed, XP has an option for you to switch to NTFS in the Manage This Computer area.
To avoid WinXP automatically starting to install to the FAT32 partition, remove the Boot Camp partition and create a new one that is larger than 32GB. It will still be FAT32 but XP won't install until it demands an NTFS formatting.

Usb keyboard not recognized

Have a late 2012 macbook pro 13 inch running OSX 10.8.2. I want to use the apple usb keyboard and external display, but the keyboard will not work when I plug in the usb. I tried the software update and restarting. Any ideas?

I understand the Minimate is not just a USB hub, but it's USB expansion ports are still a hub from the mini's perspective. For this reason you should try plugging the keyboard directly into the mini, and I strongly suggest that as your best way to connect the keyboard.
If I understand your description correctly, when you have problems is when you turn off the display at the switch. This is probably the whole source of your problem, as the mini is then falling back to a 'headless' mode. I do not recommend this method. Adding the fact that your keyboard is not physically, directly connected to the mini I'm not surprised you are having such an issue. These types of circumstances basically make a Mac under OS X think it's being run as a system that's remotely operated.

Belkin Flip and Logitech Classic 200 - Keyboard not recognized

I have a KVM switch (Belkin Flip) and a Logitech 200 Classic Keyboard. I'd like to be able to use the CTL key as a Command key for the Mac, but when I plug it in to my Powerbook either direct or through the Belkin, it says it doesn't recognize it. I downloaded the Logitech Software and that too says it doesn't recognize it. I've tried different USB ports, but no luck. The thing is, the keyboard works fine (so obviously it's recognized somehow), but I can't use the CTL keys. Also I'd like to be able to take advantage of the Logitech software and assign some other keys. Any ideas?

I have the same problem. I found I can unplug the keyboard and when replugged, everything works OK.
I just upgraded to OS V10.6.4 and still must unplug and replug the keyboard in order to type.
WHY?

Imac keyboard not recognized

usb keyboard keeps not functioning. bought a brand new one, but still having same problem

If you changed the batteries or the keyboard is different, you will need to pair it. And, in order to pair it, unless your Mac is on, you would need a USB keyboard to get to the Bluetooth Setup Assistant. If the Mac is on, just go there and see if you can pair it.

USB Mouse, Keyboard not recognized in Windows

Hello,
I have just installed Windows 7 Home Premium on my late 2012 iMac, the installation seems to have gone well except that after running the Bootcamp setup program Windows restarted and now does not recognize any mouse/keyboard - USB mouse and keyboeard as well as Magic Trackpad/Bluetooth keyboard are unresponsive. They worked before the restart, and also work in Safe mode.
Has anyone had/fixed this issue, or can direct me to instructions to help? I've looked over the forum and not found same issue. I'm assuming any fix would have to work in Safe mode as I can't do anything in Normal mode!
USB port issue?
I'm also assuming I will have to separately fix the Trackpad/Apple Keyboard issue, but first just want to get basic USB devices working.
Thanks!

Good News: I got it working OK. Not sure exactly what fixed it, but will list what was done differently in case it helps someone else.
1. Did a clean install from the Windows 7 Pro x64 disk I had purchased. The first time I had used an ISO image downloaded from the Internet (not MS site) to create the thumb drive installer, per Bootcamp 4 instructions.
2. Updated the Windows install using MS Update. I had to install some drivers I found on the Bootcamp disk I made the previous time. Those drivers were anything relative to Network and WiFi, so I was able to access the Internet. Before that I couldn't connect.
3. After the above, I repeated the download process that downloades the Windows support software for Bootcamp and made a new CD.
It worked.
I still find the service from Microsoft and even Apple to be an exercise polite but useless finger pointing. Neither organization wanted to help me. As with most tech support groups, the object is to get rid of the problem if possible by blaming someone else. Imagine what might have happened if the Apple tech would have actually conferenced me on a call to Microsoft! Tech support is non-existent for Bootcamp.
Drop a line to [email protected] if you need anything explained about the above. Cheers. -John
