Question using numpad key commands on MacBook Pro

Hi, I'm using a MacBook Pro which does not contain the imbeded numpad. I am always using these key within Logic. Does anyone know a workaround for this or would I have to remapped certain keys? Many thanks.
Ed

Previous Mac laptops had the numpad inbedded in the keyboard, but now it is no longer there. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to map these keys on a MacBook Pro, and if so which keys there are. In Logic, the numpad is a very important feature for me. Thank you for any help on this...

  • How do you access numpad keys on a macbook pro retina (mid 2012) keyboard while using bootcamp and windows?

    There are no function overlay for numpad on the keyboard and there are backlight controls where the numpad on/off was on previous macbook pro

    Hello gerwintiemens,
    I recommend resetting your SMC and your PRAM. Perhaps even a safeboot as well.

  • The volume keys on my MacBook Pro stop working after using headphones.

    The volume keys on my MacBook Pro recently stopped controling the volume after I've used headphones. I still have sound; I just can't make the volume increase or decrease. The mute, however, still works just fine. Because I have sound from the intenral speakers I know the computer doesn't think the headphones are still in the jack. A reboot fixes the problem, but as soon as I use headphones the problem starts up again. I want to fix this permanently.
    I don't know if this helps but all the other keys (brightness, play/pause, etc) still work. I recently had to reset the PRAM because my computer refused to sleep when the lid was shut. I've checked system preferences and everything seems to be in order.
    Can someone please help!?

    I found this advice on another thread after encountering the same problem - I did the reboot and it worked fine and dandy!
    I spoke with Applecare to fix my Macbook volume. Apparently there are pins inside the speaker/headphone jack that can get jammed. We fixed mine by doing some sort of reboot:
    Turn off laptop.
    Hold down the Option, Command, P, and R keys (all four at once, it's tricky!) and while holding down the four keys, turn on the computer. When you hear the second chime, release the four keys.
    This re-set the sound toggle to internal speakers. Now I'm afraid to insert headphones again, but I assume this reboot will work over and over.

    How do I use iCloud to backup my Macbook Pro?

    Hi Rob
    It sounds like my problem is the same as yours..... Sorry, but I'm a bit of an iPad dummy so am writing for some more clarification...
    My problem is..... I am away from home and only travelling with my iPad, however we have sold our house and my bigpond email address on my iPad is getting clogged with all the solicitors stuff etc, so I really need these emails for my files...
    I want to be able to backup these up (so that I can retrieve them later to print out and file) and delete them from my iPad...
    I've just created an iCloud email account (I think) is this what you did? So should I forward all my emails to this iCloud email account? And will I be able to retrieve them later?
    I hope you login here to see my question.....
    Thanks Janet

  • Did Apple changed the Expose & Dashboard keys in the MacBook Pro?

    The new MacBook Air came with two new keys, mission control and launchpad. Did Apple changed the keys in the MacBook Pro they are selling or are they selling them with no change, because since now the dashboard is in a different place the key is useless.

    No they did not, but I fell like they should replace the icons on F3 and F4 since they are so much easier to get to using gestures.

    the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
    The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
    When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
    As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
    When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
    Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but  he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

    Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
    My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
    I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
    Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

  • Is there a key on the MacBook Pro to toggle display options for a projector

    I have had some difficulty getting my InFocus projector to consistently work correctly with my MacBook Pro. Is there a key on the MacBook Pro that toggles the options for projector display? There was one on my last MacBook and my previous PowerBook.
    Thanks -
    Dudley Warner

    No, there is no longer a key to control external display modes (it's F7 on my 1st gen MBP, but the option was removed along with the embedded numeric keypad in the Early 2008 models). There's not a substitute keyboard shortcut (with the exception of installing a macro player like Keyboard Maestro). Your main option is System Preferences > Displays (as stated, ticking the box to show Displays in the menu bar provides a helpful shortcut).

  • How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion?  I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8)

    How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion?  I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8) since November until now.  Mail will no longer download on the MacBook Pro and keeps asking for my password.

    Mail should still be usable with your machine - but you'll need to update the settings to conform to the requirements of your system. Check with your ISP (like ATT, etc.) for the settings that will work with your Mail. Once you've updated this, you should be able to email like before.
    For example, my ISP required that I go to Mail Preferences/Accounts and make sure the details conform to your email settings.
    I have no idea of what your ISP is or what the settings might be, but this is likely the source of the problem.

  • How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

    How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

    Get a free app called MPEG Streamclip.
    Available here.
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Drag your clip or clips into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to export the clips in Apple Intermediate Codec.
    Sometimes, MPEG2 clips also require that you install the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this. This is available from Apple for $20.

  • Is there a way one can safely remove the keys on a macbook pro lap top and clean under them without causing damage? Or is it best to just take it in for that.... say if one spilled a small amount of maple syrup? Help please.

    Is there a way to remove, clean, and safely re-affix the keys on a macbook pro without causing damage.... or is it best to let the Pro's do it?

    i would let the pros do it. ive dismantled my mbp before and its a pain with all the little parts. you basically have to remove everything from the bottom up (logic board, ram, all cables, cd drive) to get to the keyboard.
    how much junk you got under those keys? the space between the metal and keys are small, unlike a pc laptop (though most pc laptops have easier keyboards to remove) .

  • Lightroom 5.6 hangs after using for few minutes. MacBook pro, Mac os 10.9.5. Colour wheel (beach ball) appears continuously and machine is frozen.

    I have been using Lightroom successfully on my MacBook pro for the past few weeks and been pleased how much better it is compared to iPhoto. Especially its speed.
    This week a few minutes after starting Lightroom the spinning colour wheel appears and the machine is effectively hung. Nothing responds. Sometimes after many minutes the mouse pointer reappers but the colour wheel immediately reappears if the mouse is moved or any attempt is made to do anything. Only recourse is to force a power down and re-boot. But then the same thing happens.
    System is MacBook Pro (15") from late 2008, 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 Duo with 2 GB RAM (Have tried 3 GB but this makes no difference.) Running Mac os 10.9.5 (Mavericks)
    I have checked file permissions and file system with Disk Utility, it found no problems. Have optimised Lightrooms catalogue. All made no difference.
    I completely stuck now so any help appreciated,
    John

    Hi a,
    It looks like you have a 15" mid 2010. You can try the SMC reset. If that doesn't work, see the free repair program for similar issues:
