USB keyboard not working on new Mac Pro with Mavericks

I just bought the new Mac Pro and my apple USB keyboard won't work. I have a very old apple USB keyboard that is working but I want to use my newer one. The newer keyboard is a full one also, including the number pad.
Thanks

no difference in ports just troubleshooting, ie if it didn't work on any of the 4 ports, likely a kb issue
if it worked on one of the other 3 ports, you have a broken usb port on the mac pro

  • Help! Logic Express 8 does not work on my Mac Pro with OS 10.5.1

    Hello, I hope somebody around here is able to help me.
    I have got a new Mac Pro with one Quad core processor since yesterday and it works fine except for Logic Express 8 (version 8.0.1). Whenever I start Logic the program crashes as soon as "Core Audio initialisieren" is shown in the display. I have tried to reinstall the program, deleted it completely and installed it again. It is always the same.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? What can I do about it? I am a musician and I really need Logic Express to run.

    Confused. 10.6 is DVD based. Only Lion and above are downloads.
    And best install is not to upgrade. Do a clean install  - on another drive.
    Corrupt partition tables or bad sectors or no room to adjust the partitions or the directory is corrupt.
    ERASE the drive if Repair Disk didn't work.

  • Rear Audio Jack not Working on New Mac Pro

    Hello All,
    Here's the deal. I just pursuaded my company to buy a brand new Mac Pro to run FCP Studio 2 as a test run to see if they perform well enough to eventually replace our remaining PC's. We've had the Mac Pro for less then two weeks and I'm running into an issue that I can't resolve, and I don't want to fall on my face. The rear Audio input jack keeps failing. Meaning sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't when speakers are plugged into. The jack on the front works fine, but the rear jack doesn't appear to recognize the speakers after the computer is shut down then restarted. You have to restart the computer 2 or 3 times before the speakers start pumping out sound. Which in all honesty is extermely dissappointing to me. And if I have to bring this thing in to get serviced, my boss will not move forward with buying anymore Mac Pro's, which I'm working hard to make happen.
    Please help me out.
    Thank you all for your time

  • Usb keyboard not working in windows xp pro sp2 , drivers not installing rig

    I just got this mac book pro. Haven't owned a mac sense LC II.
    I got a stand for the notebook at www.raindesigninc.com the mstand and I got the $50 aluminum usb keyboard apple sells.
    I installed windows xp on a 50 gb partition, put the bootcamp in got all the drivers installed.
    Then I got to the office today plugged in my apple keyboard and it was not recognized. I didn't have the bootcamp cds with me at the office.
    Are the drivers for the aluminum apple usb keyboard on the bootcamp cd?
    I've done some searching on google, and the only solution that i've read is downloading a new version of bootcamp then using a program called transmack to pull the driver out of the bootcamp image file. I hope there is a simpler soution that won't take up so much time.
    So do I need to put bootdisk in again to get the drivers for this usb keyboard? Or how can I get this to work as it is now the usb keyboard doesn't work. I had to take the laptop off of the mstand and use its own keypad.

    found out i just needed to put in the cd that came with the mac book pro

  • Apple wired keyboard not identified by new mac mini running mavericks

    Ayone having this problem?  Started when I upgraded to Mavericks.

    I've experiened this exact problem with two different MBA mid-2011 (one 11", one 13"), both of them upgraded to Mavericks. We use Apple Thunderbolt displays, which are supposed to attach all your USB devices attached to the monitor hub on reattachment of the power (1st) and thunderbolt cable (2nd). This all worked as-designed until the upgrade to Mavericks. since then, the Apple wired keyboard will NOT detect on the USB host when attachments are wired up. Instead, we must reach around the back of the monitor and unplug the keyboard, wait a few seconds, then reinsert it back to the same (or different) port.
    Of interest, both the wired mouse and the wired superdrive have no issues whatsoever, even though they're plugged into the same hub (the Thunderbolt monitor) as the keyboard.
    There are numerous open discussions about this on these forums, both with Thunderbolt monitor-to-laptop rigs and iMacs, and none of them have one iota of input from any Apple representative in some official capacity, leading me to believe only one plausible conclusion (a) They know about this problem, and (b) they have absolutely no idea how to fix it.

  • Fonts don't work on new mac pro

    Just installed a new mac pro with mavericks. Fonts from my old Mac Pro (snow leopard) do not work on the new system. Problem is, of course, I need to use a certain font that the system doesn't recognise. Any ideas?
    thanks

  • LR 5 not working on new Macbook Pro.

    LR 5 not working on new Macbook Pro.  Have tried 2 CC downloads, 5.6 licensed download and 5.5 licensed download, all result in the same thing.  It comes up with basic screen but no panels and gives an error occurred when changing modules.  Nothing I've tried seems to help.  It also has says "get started with lightroom mobile at top left although it says it is Lr 5.6.  Anybody else having problems?  Calls to adobe result in no help and have to wait till Monday for some technical support.  Surely this should run on a NEW laptop with no other software installed!!!

    Install logs were fine.  Application installed but wouldn't run properly.  Finally got Adobe support and it turns out to be a file permissions error.  Had to add both applications and myself as accessors of Lightroom folder under path ~/Library/Adobe/  and set permissions to read & write (was read only for everything but system) and apply to all enclosed folders.   Runs fine now.  Including this here in case anyone else runs across this issue.

  • YOUTUBE NOT WORKING ON NEW MACBOOK PRO

    YOUTUBE NOT WORKING ON NEW MACBOOK PRO
    Every time I want to see videos from youtube the video player just says "your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available".
    Please help I have everything possible up to date.
    Thanks!

    It appears as if only some videos on YouTube will play using HTML5 and without Flash. For example, this video plays just fine for me and I do not have flash installed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxEWddT44BY
    So, unfortunately, you will have to install flash or wait for YouTube to fix their website.
    Also, one thing to try: When I had Flash installed and the "ClickToPlugin" Safari extension installed, YouTube would load all the movies in a simple HTML5 format. So no annotations or any other annoying stuff. Might be worth trying. You will have to install flash but, with the "ClickToPlugin" extension, you don't have to use Flash.

  • IMessage not working on new Macbook Pro.

    iMessage not working on new Macbook Pro. Issue began after I downloaded latest version of Mountain Lion.  After every message it says delivered then immediately a red circle with exclamation point says message not delivered.  Any ideas?

    I can also no longer text on my computer or iPad.  Fine on iPhone.  Same as you - I can see everything up until a specific day.  But I didn't do any kind of update where it should have stopped.  And it stopped working on my computer and iPad at the same time.

  • Can I use my old AIr Port Extreme with my new Mac Pro with Lion installed? It has worked well with the G-4 that I'm replacing.

    I'm smarter now. It worked fine.

  • Want new Mac Pro With Snow Leopard

    I am after a new Mac Pro with Snow Leopard.
    I understand that some of the newer Mac Pros can have Snow Leopard installed.  Some tell me that in the recent past Apple made a change that made installation of Snow Leopard difficult or impossible on a Mac Pro.
    Does anyone know with a reasonable degree of certainty how to tell if a given Mac Pro can have Snow Leopard installed?
    I called Apple about a refurbished Mac Pro, they don't know what operating system it will come with!  And they don't know if it will include OS installation disks.

    For what it is worth, I recently went through this drama.
    Well, it's worth a lot!
    it is theoretically possible for Apple to modify the firmware to prevent Snow from booting, but my experience is that this has not happened yet.
    How long ago did you purchase your Mac Pro? (I miss the old days, when users would modify their own firmware.)
    See if you can buy from a seller who will let you test this out. There are some nice retailers out there, especially when you are dropping $1000s on a new Mac Pro.
    I've been looking for a while now, Mac Pro sellers that have Snow Leopard know how valuable there machines are. There are no bargains if you want snow leopard.
    We couldn't install Snow directly on the Mac Pro, so I installed on another computer (an older Mac Pro), and updated to 10.6.8 and swapped the drive across. This worked without issues.
    I currently own a 2008 Mac Pro (2,1) with 10.6.8
    See if you can buy from a seller who will let you test this out.
    Why not Apple?  They have a 15 Day return policy.   When I called Apple recently the person I spoke to suggested this.

  • New Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP.

    I got a new Mac Pro with Lion and can't install FCP that worked fine in SL.  Is it not compatible?  Is it really a PowerPC program???  I'm a videographer and rely on this software and to spend $300 to continue to use it after spending a lot more for this software 4 years ago!  Tell me this is not the case and there is a solution to installing FCP.

    How to run FCP 6 (FCS 2) under Lion.
    The installer for FCP 6 (FCS 2) is a PPC app. The Programs themselves are Intel. If your trying to install FCP 6 (FCS 2) this work-around will work...
    First you need to install Rosetta from your Snow Leopard OS installation disc:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/27987.html
    After doing that you can install FCP 6 (FCS 2). Remember, after installing FCP 6 (FCS 2) you need to apply the updates. This has been discuss many times in the Final Cut Studio forum.
    If your trying to install FCP version 5.1 (FCS 1) (a PPC app) and below your out of luck....

  • Have a student / teacher subscription. Trying to download and install applications on new mac pro with yosemite

    Have a student / teacher subscription. Trying to download and install applications on new mac pro with yosemite. Old applications still work on older Mac Pro. Can't download any applications. Creative Cloud website and desktop app both fail. Very frustrating. Anyone having this problem?

    Chas50 I would recommend removing the currently installed Adobe Creative software.  You can then install the new versions of the Adobe Creative software included with your membership.  You can find complete details regarding the uninstall and install process at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.
