Ultra thin usb keyboard brightness lock

My keyboard got cleaned by my son while connected and now when I press the dedicated brightness up or down key the symbol appears on screen with a lock underneath. So the adjustments can not be made on either key.
I can make adjustments via the system preferences/displays just fine but the lock symbol persists.
I tried going to ../keyboard and restoring defaults and that doesn't work for me either.
Can someone please help me turn the lock off?
Thank you for all your help.
Alan

This whole affair happened with the log on screen up, which is why I found it so puzzling. I had tried unplugging the keyboard and restarting but that didn't fix it. Finally in .../display/options the box "disable brightness button" was selected, deselecting this resolved the issue for me.

Apple Final Cut Pro Retrofit Ultra Thin Alu Keyboard

Hello there, I've just got a Apple Final Cut Pro Retrofit Ultra Thin Alu Keyboard to help me learn the shortcuts to FCP, but it has no instructions on the colours as to make it easier for me to quickly identify the short cuts, ie is it option-click, comd-click, cnt-click on the selective keys. If you know what I mean. Do the colours Identify what comd key I use?

Bootcamp and iMac Thin USB keyboard issue....

I work at a university where we have several labs that are setup with iMac's that have been made dual boot for obvious reasons. Everything has worked without a hitch, until the upgrade from Leopard/Vista to Snow Leopard/Win7. Since upgrading, most of the computers still work, however we are having issues right now where the Mac keyboard will not respond until the computer is up and running. We can no longer do ANY key commands prior to loading into the bootcamp OS Picker. Beyond that, whenever we try to run Win7 on a handful of machines, the computer goes to a black screen asking which OS we would like to run with only showing the valid Win7 option. Normally choosing this option would cause Windows to load, however, the Mac keyboard still remains unresponsive. If we plug in ANY other branded keyboard, this screen doesn't appear, and Win7 loads just fine.
Upon getting into Windows/Snow Leopard, the keyboard works just fine.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this? Is it a setting that we have missed somewhere along the lines? Has someone or something possibly altered the way EFI responds to the keyboard?? What could be happening? It is very puzzling that ANY other branded keyboard has no problem, but any of the Mac Thin USB keyboards we try all have the same results....

After some more testing, it appears to be an issue with the bigger aluminum USB keyboards with the number-pad on them. We have replaced the keyboard with one of the small aluminum ones (sans number-pad), and we now have all the EFI key commands working again. We have also tried a Dell and a Gateway keyboard, and these all work as well, we can even get these to trigger a Net-boot.
Apparently there is something that is drastically different with the "Large Aluminum Keyboard with Numeric Keypad" that is causing it to not work as intended. Everything was fine UNTIL we boot-camp was installed and now this specific "style" of keyboard is not working. We have tried 3 different keyboards of this style, and they all yield the same results of nothing.
Now poses the question what do we do, as EVERY Mac that we own has the "Large Aluminum Keyboard with Numeric Keypad". At this point, it seems like my only other option is to contact Apple Care and see what could be causing the problem....

PC Insert key equivalent on the ultra thin apple keyboard (german layout)

i was working on a windows server 2008 via a remote desktop connection using CoRD.
somehow i managed to activate the overwrite mode (where you don't normally type but overwrite everything right hand side of the cursor).
and i struggled to deactivate because i couldn't find the key.
(as a workaround i was able to deactivate using Fn+m on the builtin keybaord of my MBP). but how can i do that with my external keyboard?
i surely have activated it with this external keyboard, so there must be a way to disable it.
some googling turned out it's the "help" key. but since this ultra thin keyboard doesn't have any help key but a Fn key at that position. (the Fn+m combo has no effect when pressed on the external keyboard).

Hallo neongrau,
according to this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1216 it's fn + enter.
Hope it helps
Regnet's bei euch auch gerade ?

Scroll Lock function with ultra thin mac keyboard

In the Boot Camp Installation Guide (on pg. 17) there is a table showing PC key commands and the corresponding Apple keyboard commands for both external and built in keyboards.
The table shows F15 to be the single stroke for scroll lock.
Yet, I can't seem to get it to work.
We want to use the scroll lock function to work with x-Fire while playing Halo to chat with other players (something that is easily done on a pc).
I tried some of the other Apple commands -- and get no response from any of them.
Suggestions?
Danty

I realized it is simply a matter of Windows not recognizing the Mac keyboard.
Anyway the warning window went away and isn't an issue any longer.
The keyboard works just fine.

IGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard Driver for Curve 8330

I just got the IGO Stowaway Ultra-Slim, my Curve 8330 can see it under discovery, and asks for code, I type in 123 enter and 123 on the keyboard and no response,, I have been been following all sorts of links but no luck, The IGO Site (thinkoutside) is terrible and advises they have discontinued support for their keyboards..
HAS anyone been sucessful getting the two devices to link up?
If I don't get it to work, I am putting it back on EBAY,,,
Thanks in advance
D

Hi...
In the quick setup here are the bullets....
Configuring the keyboard:
1. From the BlackBerry main screen, launch the Stowaway Keyboard application.
2. Select Yes at the "Enable Bluetooth?" prompt.
3. On some BlackBerry devices, when launching the Keyboard application, you may see an
"Insufficient Permissions" status. In this case, it is necessary to change the BlackBerry's
application permissions for the Stowaway keyboard application. The following permissions
must be set to "Allow": Bluetooth, Interprocess Communications, Device Settings,
Keystroke Injection, and Security Timer Reset. If any of these options are set to "Deny",,
the keyboard application will provide an "Application Permissions" button that will take you
directly to the Permissions screen. The options will have already been set correctly for you, you
need only Save them with the BlackBerry "Save" menu option. (Note: If a "Device Options"
button displays instead when you launch the Stowaway Keyboard application, you will be given
manual instructions for setting and saving these permissions.)
4. Once the Application Permissions have been saved, place the keyboard in Discoverable
mode by simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl> <Left Fn> <Right Fn> keys on the Stowaway
Ultra-Slim Keyboard. This is indicated by the Keyboard Status Light (above the <T> key),
flashing green once per second.
5. Within the Stowaway application, select "Connect to Keyboard" from the menu.
6. If prompted, enter the numeric-only passkey of (1-9 digits of your choosing) on the
BlackBerry device using the dialpad, and press the Trackball or Track Wheel button or the
<Enter> button.
7. Type the same passkey on the keyboard using <LFn+numbers> using the number row, and
press <Enter> on the Stowaway Ultra-Slim keyboard. If the passkey process succeeds, the
keyboard should be connected within a few seconds.
8. You may receive a prompt to "Allow connection to a local port?". Select "Yes", and the
driver will be available for connecting to your Blackberry.

Where can I find a keyboard map for a macbook pro

I am new to Mac and have some problems with the names of some keys and the meaning of some of the "unusual" symbols on them. Where can I find an "idiot guide" and such information as where are the Home & Delete keys?

I am not certain if this is what you may be looking for, but take a look:

Using a different mapping for USB keyboard connected to MacBook

I just picked up an Apple keyboard and I'm now using my Macbook in clamshell mode, connected to an external monitor, keyboard and mouse. I love the Apple keyboard, but one problem I've run into is that there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to apply a different keyboard mapping to the USB keyboard. For example, I'd love to set Spaces to the F5 key when it's running in clamshell mode, but I still want it set to the F8 key on my MacBook when I'm on the move. Keep in mind I'm using a mid-2007 MacBook, so the keyboard layout isn't the same as new MacBooks and keyboards (http://is.gd/3fuq).
Does anyone know of any way to load up separate keyboard mappings based on the presence of a USB keyboard? I'd love to do it through the system if possible, but if it's not I'm willing to revert to 3rd party software to handle it if it's solid.
Thanks in advance!

I work in two languages (Italian and English). The keyboard on my MacBook is English. When not on the road, I plug in an Apple Italian keyboard. Using System Preferences I always keep the input menu quickly available from the menu bar, allowing me to instantly switch from Italian to English.
I have mapped various F keys using the Mac's own options for Exposé and Dashboard, and then other keys I have mapped with OneKey (opening frequently used applications). OneKey is rock-solid. and I've been using it for several years without the slightest hitch. There are other apps that do similar things but I've found them less reliable.
With a bit of care, you can get the same mappings to work with both keyboards although of course on the MacBook, you have to press Fn + the F key. On the full size keyboard you only need to press the F key.
Works well for me. I never open my most important apps by going to the dock. I just hit an F key.

2011 Lion ultra thin keyboard PC shortcuts

I just got the most recent 2011-2012 Lion version of the Apple Ultra Thin wired keyboard for Christmas but it seems some of the keyboard shortcuts that used to work with Windows don't work anymore. I can't seem to find a page that shows the correspondances like there exists for the older Apple keyboards.
Can anyone point me to a new reference? Thanks!

OK, after a couple of weeks I can confirm the following:
1. The two ultra-thin keyboards I own both have the same model number: A1243, EMC #2171. However, the unique identifier (serial?) on the underside is different.
2. The older one was purchased less than two years ago and the new one is 2 weeks old.
3. I plug the old one in and all the PC shortcuts work.
4. I plug the new one in and none of the PC shortcuts work.
Can anyone in this universe explain why this is so? Thanks!

Silver Apple USB Keyboard

I have seen AndyO give excellent advice many times on the Mac Mini and when doing so exclude the Aluminum Apple USB keyboard in operations in attempt to correct a problem. I was curious to know why the Aluminum Keyboard doesn't work?

As said here, the only problem with the Aluminium keyboard when used with a Mac mini is that the startup modifier keys (used for booting to the optical drive, to the boot loader screen etc) don't work. It's simply that this keyboard has firmware that isn't recognised by the mini until it has already passed the point in the startup process where the modifier keys would otherwise work.
personally, I find having an old (PC) USB keyboard around for the few occasions I need to boot the mini unusually is plenty sufficient, but the fact the boot keys don't work has caused considerable frustration for those who aren't aware of it!
Apple clearly know of this issue, since it has been reported here many times since the aluminium keyboard was first released. It seems apparent they are not able to resolve it with the hardware as it currently is.

Where oh where is the Keyboard Map?

I have the complete Adobe font library installed. But for the life of me, I can't figure out how to insert a double dagger or other symbols in a text file. I have two keyboard nation flags up top in the Menu Bar, but need the keyboard map for each,.
The Missing Manual by D. Pogue says nothing about it.

cmd-ctrl-space brings up the character viewer. It is also available in the Input menu (flags). Additionally, you can bring up the keyboard viewer from the input menu (that likely won't be useful unless the double-dagger is mapped to a key).

KT4 Ultra: FSB Setting for 2400+? and USB Keyboard not working

I just picked up a KT4 and an Athlon 2400+ - What FSB setting should i pick to make the processor detect as a 2400 (currently w/ a setting of 133, it's detecting as a 2000+ 1.67ghz when it should be 2ghz.) - Is there some setting other than the FSB that i need to change?
Also, when i try to use a USB keyboard, it doesn't work after POST. I am able to use the keyboard to change the bios settings etc... but once POST is done, the keyboard doesn't respond, and every time you press a key, the numlock light flashes quickly. - This also causes all the other USB devices (mice, etc...) to stop working. - Everything is fine if i plug the same keyboard in via PS2, but unfortunatly, this isn't a good long term solution because i use a USB KVM switch.
Any suggestions welcome!
TIA

Ok, the FSB thing is fixed, thanks for the help.
As far as the kvm being incompatable, i thought of that, and tried plugging the keyboard directly into a usb port and got the same results.
I have tried just about every setting i think would relate in the bios and none have seemed to help. ;(

USB Keyboard Multimedia keys ; two input devices for one keyboard.

Hi. I can't get my multimedia keys to work (Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop USB keyboard). They don't show up in dmesg, xev, or the command line scan code program at all, even though the standard keys show as usual.
One peculiarity is that the keyboard appears to be mapped to two devices /dev/input/event3 (the standard keys) and /dev/input/event4 (the multimedia keys) ; is there a way to "merge" the two inputs ? Is it a kernel problem ?
TIA, Paul

I solved my problem :-)
Keyboard creates two event devices:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 lip 17 12:57 pci-0000:00:1a.1-usb-0:1:1.0-event-kbd -> ../event1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 lip 17 12:57 pci-0000:00:1a.1-usb-0:1:1.1-event- -> ../event2
I had only first of it configured in xorg.conf (normal keys). I configured second device as below (Identifier "Multimedia keys"):
# Core keyboard's InputDevice section
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Logitech Media Keyboard 600"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Keyboard-event-kbd" # it is my event1
Option "XkbModel" "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "pl"
Option "evBits" "+1"
Option "keyBits" "~1-255 ~352-511"
Option "Pass" "3"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Multimedia keys"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1a.1-usb-0:1:1.1-event-" # it is my event2
Option "XkbModel" "evdev"
Option "Protocol" "evdev"
EndSection
In Serverlayout I added entry for InputDevice "Multimedia keys":
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Dual Head"
InputDevice "Logitech MX620" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Logitech Media keyboard 600" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Multimedia keys" "SendCoreEvents"
Screen "Desktop"
EndSection
And almost all multimedia keys started to work.
I had small problems with couple of keys which created keycodes greater than 255. I used keyfuzz to remap these keycodes to something smaller than 255.
After that i scaned all keycodes with xev, and mapped them to keysymlinks with xmodmap.
Now all media keys are working and I can configure KDE to use it.
