Updated to Win 8.1 and USB keyboard doesn't work anymore

I have a relatively new Macbook running the latest OSX and Bootcamp5.1.2. Windows 8 was pestering me daily to upgrade to Windows 8.1. Finally I succumbed and now my Apple USB keyboard is not recognized by the WIN 8.1 operating system. Everything worked perfectly before the upgrade. I tried to upgrade to the latest version of Bootcamp only to be told that the latest Bootcamp is not compatible with my Mac. Thus any newer drivers cannot be downloaded. Any suggestions on how to:
1. properly install the best compatible Bootcamp on my (2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 1600GB MHz DDR3 running Os10.9.4, Bootcamp 5.1.2) The message I get is "This version is not intended for this computer."
2. How do I get Win 8.1 to recognize my keyboard?

Was your phone jailbroken?
If not, get a replacement SIM from your carrier.

This is quite frustrating, since it randomly occured as I was browsing the web. It seemed to happen out of nowhere. I cannot login to my user account because I cannot type my password.
Any help will be appreciated.

If you have another Mac, boot the non-working one into Target Disk Mode (holding down "T" at startup). Hook up the two Macs via a Firewire cable. The non-working one will mount on the other Mac as an external Firewire HD.
Next, download the 10.5.6 Combo update from here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1056comboupdate .html
Run it. When it asks you for a destination, choose the other Mac that was mounted via Firewire. When it's done, unmount the computer and restart it. The keyboard and mouse should work now.

What OS X are you running and do you have USB or Wireless input devices...?
For wireless devices, take a look at > Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
USB keyboards and mice generally don't have connection issues, but they and there cords do occasionally go bad.

Since OS X update, under Citrix Reciever, the keyboard doesn't work anymore. The trackpad does. Please help.

You are running 10.5.8
Did you try booting off your Install disk holding the c key down. From here you can get to the drop down menu just a few clicks in (you are not going to install) and run the Disk Utility>Repair Disk. See if it will let you do this.

I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

If you upgraded and were using a version of Acrobat Reader that was legacy, that is PPC compatible, then you will have to upgrade to a version compatible with Lion as Lion no longer has Rosetta to interface with the legacy software.
I know that Acrobat, full version, 10 works with Lion...use it myself.

Try resetting your phone:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
Then, recheck your Settings: Settings>General>Accessibility>Triple-click Home...

Wireless and USB keyboard dosen´t work during boot

After rebooting my Imac the keyboard dosen´t respond in the boot phase. I get this famous blinking question mark at booting so I have to press C or D on the keyboard for options. The problem is that neither the wireless keyboard or my new USB keyboard work. I have also installed the firmware password utility, but it dosen´t get that far to ask for password, just this blinking question mark at startup. Does someone have an idea how to make the computer respond to the keyboard commands????

Apple doc for you:
Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse: About the Bluetooth Firmware Update
* Last Modified on: December 09, 2003
* Article: 86493
The Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse software CD include a firmware updater. You can use it to update the firmware of your computer's built-in Bluetooth hardware or a D-Link DBT-120 (rev B2 or later) USB to Bluetooth adapter.
About the Bluetooth Firmware Update
For optimal performance of the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse, you should install the Bluetooth Firmware Update. The firmware update can improve the performance of the mouse and keyboard by decreasing connection and tracking issues.
Installing the firmware update lets you use keys on the Apple Wireless Keyboard during the startup process. This is important if you need to start up the computer from a CD, in target disk mode, or reset parameter RAM (PRAM), for example.
It also lets you wake the computer from sleep by clicking the Apple Wireless Mouse or pressing a key on the Apple Wireless Keyboard.
The firmware updater is available on the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse software CD. It is designed to update the built-in Bluetooth hardware of some Macintosh computers. To find out which computers have this hardware, see technical document 86207, "Bluetooth: Macintosh Computers With Built-In Bluetooth". You can also use it to update the D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth adapter (rev B2 or later).
If you don't have an Apple Wireless Mouse or Apple Wireless Keyboard, you don't need to install this update.
Important: This updater does not add these features to other Bluetooth devices, including earlier revisions of the D-Link adapter and other USB Bluetooth adapters.
Installing the Bluetooth Firmware Update
1. Install the keyboard and mouse software, which includes Apple Bluetooth 1.3 software. It's available on the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse software CD. Double-click the file named KeyboardAndMouse.pkg.
2. If you have a D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth adapter (rev B2 or later), make sure it is plugged into one of the computer's USB ports and not a port on a keyboard, display, or hub.
3. Open the firmware updater from the install disc. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

[SOLVED]mounting cdrom and usb devices doesn't work

Hello,
i have trouble mounting my usb devices. automount doesn't work and i can't mount them manually even as a superuser. here's the output of mount command:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
i can mount cdrom manually but i can't do the same for my usb stick and external hard drives. it always complains about the above regardless of the filesystem. my devices are working under windows and other linuxes so i know hardware is not the problem.
i'm using lxde with pcmanfm.
if you need any other files just ask.
thanks

above was the error when i tried to mount any usb device with "mount -t <type> /dev/sdc /media/mountpoint". and i couldn't mount any usb device as root from console. when i tried to mount devices using pcmanfm it just popped some empty dialogs and i couldn't find any mention of "IsCallerPriviliged failed" error so i (wrongly) presumed it wasn't that. i did try some of the other fixes mentioned in the forum with no success. but adding exec ck-launch-session startkde to my .xinitrc fixed the issue
thanks again

Best.

Just reinstalled OS 10.6 and updated to 10.6.8 and internal mic doesn't work...

I reinstalled the system to try and fix the DVD player, which was refusing to play most (but not all) my DVD's... the new system didn't fix the DVD problem and now the mic doesn't work either!!??!?!?!
Any ideas?

OK, I don't think I'll be starting that tonight though, might try it later in the week. Thanks very much for the advice, kind of what I expected, just hoped for an easier solution! Mac always seems to go back to "whipe it and start again" - you'd think there'd be some targetted system app testing tool that would help identify probably causes... but there we are, rant over, thanks for the help.

Is Adobe force you to buy a update by stopping your old one? It doesn't work anymore.

I do have version 12... whole time no troubles and from one day on the other it does not work anymore. Do I MUST buy and new one to workout further???

Adobe does not do anything to your older Premiere Elements when a new version is released... post DETAILS and someone may be able to help
NOTE - McAfee kills the program http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1460089?tstart=0
From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
•You MUST use an account with Administrator Privileges to run Premiere Elements
•(Doing Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 [says Encore and also for "All" versions of Premiere] will sometimes fix "odd" errors)
•What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 12 with the 12.1 update)
•What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.9.4"---not just "Mac"
•Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
•Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
•What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
•If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
•What were you doing when the problem occurred?
•What other software are you running?
•Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
•How many and what speed are your hard drive(s)... ie 5400rpm or 7200rpm or?
And some other questions...
•What are you editing, and does your video have an orange line over it BEFORE you do any work?
•Which version of Quicktime do you have installed?
•What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
•What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
•Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
•For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information
