Vista 64 bit with apple wireless keyboard volume, cd eject not working

I successfuly got Vista Ultimate 64 bit installed in Boot Camp on my Mac Pro, and got my Apple wireless mouse and wireless keyboard working after some trouble. But I still can't use the volume control or the cd eject or brightness control keys in Windows Vista.
Any suggestions?

Maybe you could update the Boot Camp drivers. That happened to my internal keyboard, and updated drivers some times fixed it. Other times it fixed itself after a few restarts.

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard - Volume & Brightness keys not working Windows 7

    Finally got my wireless keyboard working within Windows 7 but the volume / Eject / Brightness keys all do nothing - all other keys appear fine.
    I have reinstalled the bootcamp drivers for the 2nd time but still nothing. I had this all working previously but have factory restored my iMac and cant remember how I originally did this..
    Any ideas?

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard - Shift + 'r' key not working. It doesn't capitalise the letter. Can someone help please. Thank you.

    Hi all,
    I am having some problem with the Apple Wireless Keyboard. It has not problem connecting to both my iPad mini / iPhone 4S.
    The problem comes when I start to type with it. All the keys are functioning will, except when I am trying to capitalise the letter 'r'.
    I tried using Shift + r. It doesn't work, regardless whether I use the left or right Shift key.
    Any someone help please. Thank you.

    If your Macbook is less than a year old, it is under warranty. A repair of of a problem of this kind would be free. So, if you have a warranty, have the problem fixed by Apple.
    If your Macbook is more than one year old, please tell us what operating system you are running, and any other information that would help understand what is going on.
    If you do get the keyboard to work for a short time, long enough to post back, please unlock the "caps lock" button.

  • No function key with apple wireless keyboard

    I recently purchased an Apple Wireless Keyboard. I have it working just fine with my macbook pro, and want to use keyboard special characters as a mouse because I'll be using my old laptop as a TV entertainment computer. The only problem is that the function key seems to not exist, which is crucial in order to use special keys as mouse movement keys. If I bring up the keyboard viewer and type with the wireless keyboard, the keyboard viewer shows the keyboard layout without a funciton key. I would expect something like this with a non-apple peripheral, but not a standard apple keyboard. What must be done to enable or have all of the keyboard's keys, function key in particular, recognized?
    BTW - I did apply the firmware update for the keyboard, but to no avail.
    OS X 10.5.8

    Hi mate,
    This worked for me:

  • Why do I keep getting a "Pairing Request" from an Apple Wireless Keyboard that I'm not using?

  • Keyboard volume control does not work

    I have an iMac G5, running OS 10.5.8, and a new Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad. My keyboard volume control does not work. Any have ideas as to why ? (I have a similar set-up at work with no volume problems.)

    Try system prefs/keyboard/keyboard/ and uncheck Use all F1, F2 etc as standard function keys.
    Other wise the volume and brightness controls will only work if you hold down the function key first (fn)

  • My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?

    Q.: My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?
    A.: If your wireless keyboard and mouse do not work even after changing the batteries, please try re-syncing them by following these steps.
    1. Make sure the computer is on, plug in the USB receiver. Push the button on the USB receiver until it flashes blue.
    2. While the receiver is still flashing, press the red connect button on the keyboard (Make sure the batteries are installed). The USB receiver should stop flashing after pressing the button on the keyboard. It may take up to 8 seconds to sync.
    3. Repeat the same process for the mouse. Push the button on the USB receiver, then press the connect button on the mouse (Make sure the mouse is on).
    Note: This applies to all MSI All-In-One computers that include the ES500W wireless keyboard and SW130 mouse.

    "This machine has an added 4 USB ports, could this be causing a problem?
    It definitely could be the source of the problem. Perhaps the PCI card was bumped loose during shipping?
    Have you tried removing the card? That's where I would start.
    Keep us posted.

  • Apple wireless keyboard function keys don't work with ipad2

    I have a brand new ipad2 and just purchased an apple wireless keyboard. The keys work fine for typing, but the keys across the top don't seem to work at all. I play music, but none of the music control keys work. The keys on functions 1..12 appear to be totally dead.
    I have seen several posts from people who seem to have this problem, but I see no answers. Did I purchase a lemon or what?

    wrote this in another thread, but it is relevant here, too.
    Wanting to buy a keyboard and reading this thread (and others), I went to a local Best Buy. They had quite a few of the wireless keyboards out. They had MC184LL(A) models and (B) models.
    ALL of the (A) models worked perfectly with the iPad (typing, brightness, volume, ipod functions, etc).
    NONE of the (B) models worked other than basic typing.
    They had a stack of maybe 50 new wireless keyboards on the shelf. All but two of them were (B) models.
    I bought one of the two (A) models. It is working perfectly on my iPad.

  • What functions work with iPhone 3GS on OS4 with Apple wireless keyboard?

    I've successfully paired my Apple Wireless Keyboard with my iPhone 3GS running OS4. I can type messages and emails, but many functions seem to be missing, like moving to the "send" button in email or moving around my iPhone screen. Does anyone know where to find info on what keys on the wireless keyboard perform what functions on the iPhone? Thanks

    * F1 and F2 - Brightness
    * F3 - Disabled
    * F4 - Disabled
    * F5 and F6 - Disabled
    * F7 - Previous Track
    * F8 - Pause/Play iPod
    * F9 - Skip Track

    * Eject - Disabled (unless Apple adds a mini-Disc)
    * Caps Lock - YEAY
    * FN Control Option/Alt Command - All Disabled DOH
    * Arrow Keys - YEAY
    Wow, troll. Stop bringing up dead threads...especially when you can't get your information correct.
    The eject key hides and displays the softkeyboard in text entry mode.

  • HT5633 use of fn key with Apple Wireless Keyboard MC184LL/B

    Are the rules for using the fn key with the most recent
    Apple Wireless Keyboard MC184LL/B posted anywhere on Apple's site?  Thanks.

    Unfortunately i don't have a solution to your issue, but I thought I would mention the same issue with the new keyboard (MC184LL/B) and the iPad 2 running ios 4.3.5.  None of the function keys work as they should. 
    I recently received the older model (MC184LL/A) from FutureShop (Canada's sister to Best Buy) and everything works fine.  Perhaps you should seek out and buy the older model before they are phased out. 
    My only concern in saying this is I hope the update to ios 5 does not cause the older model keyboard to suddenly lose function key performance.  Similarly, I'm not sure the older model keyboard will work if you upgrade to Lion.
    I called Apple support about this issue and they found some info on the same iPad forums I have read, but they had no inside scoop on whether the issue was going to be addressed in further ios (or Mac OS) updates. 
    If you want to keep your new keyboard, you might just have to wait and see if the issue is resolved.   

  • ICloud does not synchronize Notes.app with Apple Wireless Keyboard in use

    I own an Apple Wireless Keyboard and an iPhone 4 with the newest software, iOS5.1
    When using the build-in Notes application by Apple and the original Apple Wireless Keyboard, synchronizing fails. I guess this is because Notes.app never triggers the "synchronize event", like it does when using the on-screen-keyboard. The trigger "done" is just missing. This error might also happen in other (build-in) apps, I've just seen it with the Notes.app
    Could you please tell me if you already know this issue and are working on it? I told Apple Support about it for iOS version 5.0 and nothing changed since then. Please advise.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone'  or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

  • 1st generation MacBook not pairing/connecting with Apple Wireless Keyboard

    I just purchased an Apple Wireless Keyboard to use with my iPhone and my 1st generation MacBook.
    I managed to pair/connect my keyboard with iPhone on my first try.
    So far, however, I have not been able to pair or connect my keyboard with my MacBook.
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
    Thanks.

    Hi Stefan,
    Thanks for your help. Indeed, I followed the instructions for pairing and connecting the keyboard last night. I shut down my computer last night with the idea that a restart this morning might be helpful. Per your message, I attempted to follow the instructions again a moment ago, with no success.
    Bluetooth on my MacBook and on my keyboard are both on. My MacBook is discoverable. Any thoughts about what the glitch might be?
    Thanks again!
    Scott

  • Constant Problems with Apple Wireless Keyboard & Mighty Mouse

    My Apple Wireless keyboard constantly loses its connection with my Mac Mini (I have brand new batteries and the latest firmware update) but it is sitting directly in front of it!
    I can get it to work when I go to sys. pref., delete the keyboard, and start the set up assistant. However, once I get the keyboard working this way the Mighty Mouse beings to move insanely slow!
    Please help me, I bought these two products because they were directly from Apple and I just assumed they would work great with my computer.
    Thanks

    Hello craig:
    If you are near an Apple store, take both products in - they can test them there. If you are not near a store, call Applecare (since your products are still in the one year warranty). They may replace one or both.
    A third possibility (one you do not wish to hear) would be the BT module itself having a problem.
