Using Apple keyboard with Windows (bootcamp)

Does anyone have a cheat sheet for using a wired Apple keyboard with Windows 7 (the bootcamp setup)? I like to use keyboard shortcuts, both in OS X and in Windows. When I switch to my Windows partition, I haven't figured out the key combinations to use on the Apple keyboard.
UPDATE: Never mind. I found it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5636?viewlocale=en_US

HT4112 how to use apple keyboard with window 7

I know a lot of people have asked this question, but I could not find a anwser that works. I am using an apple keyboard with my windows 7 laptop. I could not change the delete key to delete, apple keyboard delete button is backspace, not delete. Of cause, I have to use the on screen keyboard to log in each time becaue there is no delete button on apple's keyboard. Can some one provide a simply method to convert my apple keyboard to windows keyboard? Thanks and I appreciate your help.

Are you using a wireless Apple kbd or USB keyboard?

Apple Keyboard with Windows XP

I bought an Apple keyboard to replace my aging keyboard.. love it, except for one thing.
I am an overclocker, and when I tried to get into the BIOS using the delete key, I couldn't get in. Nor with F10 or F2 or anything.
Is there some way I can get in? I hate having to hook up my standard keyboard just for that.
Thanks.

My original was a PS/2.
Now that I think of it, I might have forgotten to enable the USB keyboard in the BIOS.
I will try that.

Using Apple Keyboard on Windows

My question is the following:
A few weeks ago I decided to buy an Apple Keyboard (the wired one), but before buying it, I wanted to know if it is compatible with an Windows XP based computer. I would appreciate if someone could tell me if it is compatible or not.
Thanks

It is compatible...meaning it works. However, I have yet to find drivers that make the "special" keys work.

Apple keyboard with Windows 7 RC

I'm currently sharing a mac aluminum keyboard (one of the new, thin ones) between my Mini and a pc tower. The right half of the keyboard--the number pad, etc--don't work on the PC side of this arrangement, although the rest of the keyboard does.
Are there drivers I can install, either as a modified version of Bootcamp or from an external source that would fix this issue?

Hey,
Do you have a wireless or wired keyboard?
You can download the Boot camp drivers for Windows and install in the Windows OS. Try that method. For me it is working fine both wireless and wired. However I am working with a virtual machine Windows 7 RC and Windows Vista on my Mac Book.

HT5636 I am using an Apple keyboard with numeric key pad.

I have a new Mac OSX 10.9.2. I am using Bootcamp to run WIndows 8.1.
I have just connected a new USB Apple keyboard with numeric key pad.
All works fine in OSX. But in windows the numeric numbers on the keypad wont work.
Numlock appears to work, but nothing happens when the number keys are pressed.
The keys / * - +and entre all work ok. Just not the numbers.
MIcrosoft SUPPORT REFUSED to help me because i am using a mac, they claim it is a hardware problem.

I would look for a program which would display the ascii value of typed letters
if i had the letter the key send one can assign that value to any other function one wish

if the program would get no ascii value from the num keyboard then I suppose ms were correct
if not then there are tons of free programs to reassign keys as one see fit
and even if they were not to work one can do it manually in regedit in windows

Can i use a non-apple keyboard with my imac?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can use the keyboard you want with your iMac. However, note that some keys, as the Command key, aren't present in non-Apple keyboards. For example, in a non-Apple keyboard, you have to press the Windows key because that's the replacement of the Command key of an Apple keyboard

Using ALT+cursor function of apple keyboard for windows program

Not sure where to ask this question, but here goes. My company uses a web based transportation routing program I can access from my home computer, (which is a Mac using Mac, not windows).
Using the program requires the ability to often select or deselect lines from a group of lines to send to be routed. Using a Microsoft keyboard I would simply press ALT and then select with the cursor the lines I want. When I am using my apple keyboard this does not work.
I know that the command key takes the place of the ALT key, so you would think that I would simply press Command and select with the cursor, but this does not work. Therefore all I can do is select all or none.
Anyone have a idea of another combination of keys that will work for this?
Thanks
I am using the standard apple keyboard with the numeric keys

Not sure why that isn't working. I have a page displaying below from the Apple Support website, with three different lines selected:
The purple highlighted lines are all selected independently of one another. Maybe it is the type of webpage or data?

Using mac keyboard on Windows, how to get all CS shortcuts working like on OSX?

Hi!
Firstly, thanks all for any tips/help, it's very much appreciated!
My girlfriend is using a mac at work to design with CS 5. At home she has a windows 7 laptop though.
It seems one of the biggest issues is that the shortcuts aren't working the same, which reduces her productivity so much that it does not make any sense to work from home.
So we still have one of the fancy apple USB keyboards at home and I was wondering if it's possible to get CS working with an apple keyboard under windows so that she can use the same shortcuts which she uses at work with CS5 under OSX?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Thomas

Using a Mac keyboard for the PC won't help. It will probably map the command key to the Windows key. Bob's answer is right on the money. She has to retrain her muscle memory, when at home use control, when at work use command.

Using Apple remote with macbook display closed

Hi ,
I have a macbook connected to LCD TV with HDMI connection .
Is there a way to use Apple remote with display closed .
examples of using apple remote with display closed would be
(1) waking the macbook with apple remote
(2) putting the macbook to sleep with apple remote
(3) Shutting down the macbook with apple remote
(4) accessing front row (using LCD TV as Display )
while doing this should I connect the macbook to power source.
please point me to any documentation / solutions available .
I don't have any external keyboard or mouse connected to macbook . I just want to use Apple remote to do the above functions .
Thanks

Hi suresh,
as mentioned here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86286
and
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300562
you must have to have a keyboard or mouse to trigger the macbook wake up from sleep when you close the lid.
usb mouse is not that expensive and you can start with that.
Good Luck

Apple Keyboard with number pad doesn't work with Mac Pro?

I have a Mac Pro, and have used an Apple Keyboard with a number pad (not bluetooth) with it for quite a while, with no problems. But then my keyboard broke and I ordered a replacement Apple Keyboard with a number pad (not bluetooth). This keyboard doesn't work with my Mac Pro. I have it plugged in, but I can't get the Mac Pro to consistently recognize that there is a USB keyboard connected to it. What magical stuff do I have to do to get the keyboard to be fit for purpose?

It would not hurt to try an SMC Reset. (But if it does not help, it adds credence to lllaass assertion that the keyboard is not working.)
