Setting up numeric pad for mac probook

I just bought a numeric pad (Targus) and plugged it in, but it is not working when I plug it in. The green light is on, but the numbers do not show up when I push it. Other features show up like the + or - button. Do I have to suppress something on my mac in order to use the numeric pad?

Try powering it down, & if they/you didn't setup Firmware Protection Password, or FileVault, then try this...

Starts up like the first time you buy a new Mac, but after filling in all that info again, you should have access to the computer and the other Users & files will still be there... give the new User a different name than an existing one.

Microsoft didn't include that with the 2011 version.
There is a third-party application that substitutes for the add-in: http://www.analystsoft.com/en/products/statplusmac/
They also have a limited, free version.

Wireless control pad for MAC

I'm after a wireless game pad for my mac I see that the xbox 360 has USB and wireless controllers.
Does anyone know is I can use a wireless xbox 360 pad or not and if not what would you recommend I use.
Cheers
Wayne

This forum is for non-technical questions and only for providing feedback about the forums themselves.
In future you should note the Red text at the top of the pafge and post in another forum.
You may find this application useful. It allows you to use an xbox controller on OS X. I can't confirm whether the wireless controllers work -do they have a USB dongle? or Bluetooth ?

I need advice on setting up numerous iPads and Macs for use in a school

Hi
The school I work with has purchased 15 iPads and currently runs 6 macs. As I understand it there are limitations to the number of devices (both mac and iPad included) you can tie to one apple id.
I need to know what you need to do in order to get numerous devices connected and more importantly managed through a single apple id.
The iPads are to be used as an educational tool for the students and will be completely locked down in terms of web / youtube twitter access.
Thanks

For the iPads, you can use Apple Configurator to install apps on all 15 iPads using a single Apple ID. For paid apps, you will need to enroll in Apple's Education VPP program http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/ which will allow a single Apple ID to purchase multiple licenses of an app. And best of all, you can save 50% of the cost on most apps when buying 20 copies or more. So even if you only need 15 licenses of a paid app, its cheaper to purchase 20 through VPP and save 50%. Using Apple Configurator, I would "Supervise" the iPads and install the apps (and configuration profiles) to all iPads.
Apple Configurator Resources
PDF: http://www.apple.com/iphone/business/docs/iOS_Apple_Configurator_Mar12.pdf
Video: http://www.apple.com/education/resources/videos/#introduction-to-apple-configura tor
Help Pages: http://help.apple.com/configurator/mac/1.0/
I'm not sure if they have a similar program to VPP for the OS X computers…
But the limit you are referring to is for a single personal Apple ID (not for multiple users) that is allowed to be associated with a total of 10 devices (up to 5 computers and the rest on iOS devices). Example you can have 5 computers and 5 iOS devices, 3 computers and 7 iOS devices, but not 6 computers and 4 iOS devices.
From http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE
Association of Associated Devices is subject to the following terms:
i) You may auto-download iTunes Auto-Delivery Content or download previously-purchased iTunes Eligible Content from an Account on up to 10 Associated Devices, provided no more than 5 are iTunes-authorized computers.
Again this is for a single user. For multiple users like in schools you need to use VPP to purchase multiple licenses and it will allow you to install on multiple devices using a single district Apple ID.
Hope this helps!

Cooling pad for Mac Mini

Does anyone uses cooling pad with a Mac Mini. If so, could you please provide some suggestions? I am not looking for a bigger one, rather it should occupy minimum space and fits the mac mini. Thanks.

The devices available to allow a Mini to set on its side, appear viable if practical in
the space you have available for your gear. An older Mini I have can stay on its
side without a holder-upper; the newer one is too thin that direction to allow it.
For now, I've found that four similar height re-used items that can fit under the
corners of the Mini, keep it elevated further off the desktop, help keep it cooler.
These could be durable thermal plastic, or just cut-offs of similar shape metal
so the computer sits flat. Since the newer Mini has that round base, if you do
set up something to raise it off the surrounding surface, take that into account
because that may also add to instability should the items be dissimilar.
I'd considered, if available super cheap (at second hand store, etc) that one of
those 'aluminum food thawing trays' but square and not rectangular, may work.
It would raise the unit up, while Mini would still rest on the round base, though.
Since heat rises; the exit is in the back of the Mini, intake is around the base.
The bottom does not get all that hot, due to internal air-flow & metal conductivity.
I prefer my method of raising the entire unit up, flat, above the desk. In part this
was due to concerns of spillage of liquid near the Mini, while on a desktop. An
upside down small metal pan, or a baking rack may do, too. And I'd want to be
able to filter dust from all air going into the Mini - without restricting the flow, too.
Anyway, other than one of the command-line tests to run up all the cores at once
to test it, there isn't much I've done to make a quad-core reach top temperatures.
Hopefully yours works OK and doesn't get near the thermal maximum...

Set up roaming profiles for mac and windows

So I have a a few macs and some windows pcs. I am using windows server 2008 for the server and I was able to bind the macs to the server. I also did set up the romeing profiles on the server.

If anyone can help me on how to set this up please do

Unless you have 3rd-party apps allowing Windoze to read and write Mac OS Extended, or your Mac to read & write NTFS, your options are ExFat or Fat. See #9 in Using Disk Utility.

Set up Remote Access for Mac Mini

I recently bought a Mac Mini and set it up at home. It is running on Mac OS X 10.8.3, and runs on Server 2.2.1 and Airport Utilities 6.2. I would like to be able to access the Mac Mini server from outside my home. Does anyone know the procedure of setting up remote access (through SSH or VPN) without creating an internet domain name? Thanks!
I'm quite new to many of the Apple products, so it would be good if the answers are clearer and more detailed. Thanks!

As Barney-15E says, Back-to-My-Mac is the best option.
After that, try TeamViewer.com
ssh can be done, but there are setup details with respect to your home router to allow port 22 from the Internet side to your Mac mini <http://portforward.com>. And then you will need a dynamic DNS name from someone like No-IP.com or DynDNS.org so you can find your home router. Once you have that setup, you should make sure you use a good strong password, as you have now exposed a known port to the internet <http://xkcd.com/936/> and <https://www.grc.com/haystack.htm>. Don't forget to enable System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Login. So now you can ssh, but what do you want to do with that? You can create ssh tunnels for VNC screen sharing and AFP file sharing.
ssh -L 22590:localhost:5900 -L 22548:localhost:548 [email protected]
Now you have logged in and you have 2 tunnels. How to use them.
Finder -> Go -> Connect to server -> vnc://localhost:22590
Finder -> Go -> Connect to server -> afp://localhost:22548
Back-to-My-Mac and/or TeamViewer.com are easier

Can I set up Internet access for Mac book air

I am able to set up wireless for my Mac book air but I am looking to set up internet (same as I have with my iPad). Is it possible?

Have you got Home Sharing set up (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819) ? i.e. he may be viewing the content from your computer, not on the actual iPad. If that is the case (which would explain to me him being able to access the videos via the iPod app), then the Restrictions settings that I've already mentioned should also work on that 'remote' content.
Edit : your last reply appeared whilst I was typing/checking this. And no, the Videos/iPod apps can't be passcode protected, you will need to go back into Restrictions and remove the restriction, or if the films are only on your computer and not on the iPad itself you could turn off home sharing on the iPad whilst he's playing the games : Settings > iPod and tap on your account id and/or password on the right under Home Sharing and delete it/ them (re-enter them when you want to re-enable it).

Numeric Pad Freezes Mac

Everytime I try and use any keys on the numerics pad, the whole computer freezes and I have to do a hard shut down and restart. Its brand new, only a week old and barely been used. I have adobe CS Elements and MS Office Student & Teacher as additional software, else everything is straight out the box.
Help Please????

Hi Bjorn
As a new unit you are entitled to another machine but if you would be happy with just a keyboard fair enough. You could just take the keyboard in - with your receipt - and get them to test it, if it is OK then you know it is the machine itself. Don't think it makes you look foolish these guys are there to help and attitudes are different in the Mac community to that of some PC users and suppliers.
If you have not already done so consider AppleCare, that will give you 3 years warranty cover from the original date of purchase.
Happy New Year

HT3211 What is best track pad for laptop pro

What is best track pad for Mac Pro laptop with mountain lion

Honestly, the one right in front of your keyboard. It's hard to do better than that one, and the Magic Trackpad is just an external duplicate of that. In fact, my dad has one for his iMac, and I seem to recall that there are one or two things I can do with my built-in trackpad that he can't do with his Magic Trackpad... though my faulty memory means I couldn't tell you what those things are at this point.
