Vista Drivers for Apple Bluetooth Keyboard in BootCamp?

I have a MacBook Pro 2.4, OSX 10.5.1, and have installed Boot Camp with Vista Ultimate.
I also have the Apple Bluetooth keyboard that has the numerical pad.
My keyboard works well but I cn not get the numerical pad to work.
I suspect it might be drivers for the keyboard.
I have installed the Leopard Win drivers for Boot Camp.
No luck
Any thoughts out there?
Dunc

Never mind,,,,,
I found an unmarked "Num Lock" key on the keyboard.
am a happy camper now!

  • Apple bluetooth keyboard and bootcamp

    I cannot get the apple wireless keyboard to work with my Mac Pro (Feb-2008 model) under bootcamp and Vista Home Premium 64. I had to upgrade from 10.5.1 in order to use Final Cut Studio 3, so I downloaded and installed OSX 10.5.8 update. Then I ran bootcamp and installed Vista 64. Afterwards, in Vista I inserted the original OSX 10.5.1 DVD and installed the drivers so Vista would recognize the apple hardware.
    I went to pair the wireless mighty mouse and apple keyboard and the instructions say to enter 0000 for the mouse, and enter an 8 digit or larger number for the keyboard. Since the keyboard doesn't work, I couldn't enter anything so I let the system choose a number for the keyboard and let the mouse go without a number. Both show they are connected but only the mouse works. I also tried letting the system generate a number for both but only the mouse works. I tried turning off the mouse but then the system doesn't detect the keyboard at all. For that matter, I don't even like the mighty mouse anyway and prefer to use the mouse with my Wacom tablet so I could do without the mighty mouse if that would somehow help.
    Is there a known issue with 10.5.8 and bluetooth under windows vista 64? What should I do? I must have Vista 64 in order to utilize 3ds Max 2010 and I must have a keyboard to use 3ds Max. Is there a driver I can download to make it work or do I need to buy a generic USB keyboard?
    Thanks in advace for any help with this. I am looking forward to finally getting this Mac all set up.

  • Apple bluetooth keyboard lost a key

    I'm having a weird issue with my Apple BT keyboard: today I noticed it doesn't respond to the 'six' key, which is easy to check in keyboard viewer. Also, I discovered that when I press control + space I get 'six' reported in the viewer instead of this shortcut.
    The key seems OK, nothing looks broken in it, no dirt etc. underneath. Also, changed batteries and checked keyboard with iPad to be sure it's not something else.
    Any way I can bring it back to life?

    Out of curiousity I did a google search for "replacement keys for apple bluetooth keyboard" and got potential candidate hits that may (or may not) help you.  Here's two that looked interesting:
    Apple iMac ALUMINUM Replacement Keyboard Keys
    Apple Wireless Aluminum Keyboard Key (BLUETOOTH) A1314
    and this,
    How do I Replace a Broken Keyboard Key?
    Maybe some of the other hits are more useful I don't know.
    Good luck.

  • Apple Bluetooth keyboard unsuccessful pairing in Windows 8.1 using Bootcamp 5.1

    This is in regards to a MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.4 15" Late 2011. The keyboard is an Apple Bluetooth keyboard.
    When I start windows, then open bluetooth devices, then hold down the power button on the keyboard, then click the "Pair" button, suddenly it tells me that the pairing was unsuccessful. I don't ever get to the part where I enter in the numbers into the keyboard, as I know that is the next step.
    I have tried going into the device manager and enabling the bluetooth collaboration in the broadcom 802.11 device in the network devices but that doesn't solve my issue.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    all the windows in the non-primary monitor moves to the primary monitor
    For me this only happens when I switch accounts.  Does Hibernation work?
    Another weird thing that happens then is how I can restore my IE windows.  I always use IE Fullscreen when I'm working, so usually after the problem occurs I will find an IE window on my Tablet still in Fullscreen mode.  Then, instead of just flipping
    it back with Win-Shift-CursorLeft, what I have found works better is to just press F11.  Doing that inexplicably restores the IE window on the secondary monitor but no longer in Fullscreen mode.  Then pressing F11 again, restores it to Fullscreen
    mode still on the secondary.  If I try to flip it over normally the recovery procedure is less elegant but I guess equivalent.  Fortunately, I usually only have IE windows on that other monitor, so there's not that much inconvenience for me when
    it happens--just the slight irritation of the quirkiness.
    Actually I just realized there could be another workaround.  What happens if you try to use the Win-P function as soon as possible to ensure that the Extend display state is in effect?  I think the reason this happens is that both monitors are
    not being sensed soon enough, so this could be a way of avoiding that problem.  TBD.
    Also, I'll try to remember to try Hibernation myself and see what difference it makes.  TBD.

  • On iOS 5 for iPad, is there a home button key on the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard that will allow you to go to the home screen or multitask? Perhaps by pressing the escape key or something?

    On iOS 5 for iPad, is there a home button key on the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard that will allow you to go to the home screen or multitask? Perhaps by pressing the escape key or something?

    Sorry, but no one who would know can discuss unreleased software such as iOS 5 in these forums. We'll have to wait, probably for the official release, before such details will be known.

  • Problems pairing bluetooth keyboard in bootcamp

    Hi.
    I've searched exhaustively for the answer to this problem, but haven't yet found a solution. A few users have reported this particular problem before, but their discussion threads seem to go unanswered, so either they've given up, or found a solution and never posted it. I promise, if I find a satisfactory resolution, I will report it here!
    Here is my dilemma: I have a Windows XP SP3 Bootcamp partition (v2.1) set up on my 2007 Santa Rosa MBP, that I've been using predominantly in Parallels. The reason I avoid booting directly into Windows at startup, is because I can't seem to get my Apple Bluetooth keyboard (the last-gen transparent model) to pair when using Windows natively via Bootcamp.
    I've read all of the suggestions and standard instructions on how to pair a device using the bluetooth device wizard in XP, rolling back drivers to earlier versions, uninstalling the apple drivers, etc., and none of them seem to work.
    First, when I try to add the keyboard, I can get to the point where I enter a passkey (e.g., 00000000), but when I click next, it BYPASSES the step where I am supposed to enter the passkey using the bluetooth keyboard, and says that it successfully added the device. It then shows up in the device list, without a passkey, but the keyboard never works, and when I close and re-open the bluetooth devices pane, it disappears from the list of devices. I've attempted this set-up probably 30+ times, and everytime, it ends the same way. To make sure it wasn't the bluetooth radio malfunctioning under Windows, I added my bluetooth phone, and it paired just fine. Also, the keyboard works normally when I boot into Leopard, so it's not a defective keyboard or a battery problem.
    Next, I've tried some of the other suggestions I've found, such as removing the batteries to "reset" the keyboard, updating the bluetooth drivers (they're from the 2.1 Bootcamp release), uninstalling the drivers altogether, rolling back the drivers to earlier versions, and none of those have worked either.
    Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or has anyone gotten their Apple bluetooth keyboard to pair properly when running Windows via Bootcamp? I'm wondering if this has to do with XP SP3 (which I installed AFTER upgrading to Bootcamp 2.1) or bootcamp 2.1 itself, or maybe a driver conflict???
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    SUCCESS! FINALLY!
    OK, I'm happy to say, I am at last typing this message on my bluetooth keyboard while running XP via Bootcamp. Hopefully this will help anyone else who encounters this problem.
    The first issue, that Flying Dutchman helped me out with, was that my keyboard could be detected by the Windows Bluetooth Device wizard, but it wouldn't pair properly. After UN-pairing the keyboard in mac os X, and rebooting in Windows, I was able to successfully pair the keyboard using a passkey.
    The keyboard still didn't work, though, and after searching around some more, I discovered the problem was that I had to enable the "Driver for keyboard, mice, etc (HID)" service by clicking the properties button for the keyboard (in the bluetooth control panel device list), and then check the box under the services tab. I had tried doing this before, but everytime I would do this and hit 'apply', I would get an error that said "access denied". So I kept giving up on this, but this was the step I needed. Finally, I googled around and found this very helpful discussion:
    http://www.sean-ward.com/2008/08/01/bluetoothaccess_denied_issue_andresolution/
    It explains how to fix the "access denied" problem so you can check the services box. I had to restart a couple of times and re-pair the keyboard, but at last it works!
    Now the final question is what will happen when I go back to mac os X and repair my keyboard on that side... but that's an issue for another day.
    Cheers!

  • I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station.

    I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station. The Keyboard and mouse work great with the laptop lid open but when closed in the docking station the bluetooth signal does not seem to transmit.  Is there a setting that can be changed to allow an Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to wake the computer while docked?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Mac Mini 2014 with Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse

    Hi all,
    I'm currently in the process of moving from my old MacBook to a Mac Mini 2014 and I have a couple of questions regarding functionality of the Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse with the Mac Mini.
    As these are the only keyboard and mouse I have available to me as I currently only have the one computer in the house, I'm wondering how I will pair them with my new Mac Mini (arriving next week for Christmas) without a wired user input device (keyboard or mouse). When I paired them with my MacBook, I of course had its trackpad and keyboard to navigate through the various steps, but as the Mac Mini does not have these, how does the pairing process work? Will I have to get my hands on a wired mouse/keyboard? I'm asking in advance because I need to get my new system up and running to start work on 27th December and so I need to know if I should pick up a cheap wired mouse/keyboard in advance.
    My second question relates to the Mac Mini, Apple bluetooth keyboard and Boot Camp. Usually, when I want to boot into Windows on my MacBook, I hold down the Option/Alt key on my MacBook's built-in keyboard to be given the choice of operating systems. Sometimes when I do this using the bluetooth keyboard, it hasn't paired in time and it boots straight into OS X, so I have to wait until that has booted, shut down and then try again. Clearly, this might be a problem on a Mac Mini if I have urgent work I need to complete in Windows, so rebooting over and over until my keyboard finally pairs in time isn't desirable. Any tips here would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    If you unpair your BT KB and mouse from the old computer they should pair during the initial setup of the Mini. However, sometimes they donot a wired KB and mouse is required. You can use any USB PC KB and mouse.
    Once you get the BT KB to work you can use the Option key on the BT KB while booting to get your choice of OS to boot into.

    I already have multiple devices and by far I like my iPad the most over laptops and the iPad. That including checking out my friends MacBook Air.
    The difference for me is the touch interface on the screen itself for things that do not require a lot of typing. For me, the iPad is more "magical" than anything else I've used.
    Again, I do appreciate your answers but you don't know my situation. Not everything is as it is perceived without knowing me and what I have to go through.

  • Changing name of Apple bluetooth keyboard?

    Well, I actually have a macbook, but I figure there are more out there using the keyboard with their iMacs rather than notebook since I couldn't find an exact place to post this
    Hi all,
    I have an Apple bluetooth keyboard for my macbook pro. I got it a while ago and remember that a friend of mine had used it with his macbook once just to try it out. I haven't used the keyboard for some months and decided to start using it again recently, however, every time I turn it on, it is recognized as "John Smith's keyboard" rather than my name. I'm rather annoyed since it's always been my keyboard! I'm browsing around and can't seem to figure out how to change the name of the keyboard. Help please?

  • Not sending what I type on Apple Bluetooth keyboard

    I have an iPad Air running 8.0.2 and an Apple Bluetooth keyboard. When I type on the keyboard, I don't get what I type for many characters. For example, if I type a "d", I consistently see "ds" on the screen. When I type "q", I consistently see "qz". sometimes it just starts sending "'" repeatedly without me typing anything.
    I have tried deleting the keyboard from the Bluetooth (forget this device), taking the batteries out of the keyboard, turning the iPad all the way off, restarting the iPad, putting the batteries back in the keyboard, pairing again, and see the exact same behavior.
    I'm seeing this while typing into an email.
    I started in 8.0.0 with the same problem and then upgraded. I had not tried to use this keyboard for a while. The batteries were dead, so I put in new ones, paired it again (having removed the pairing earlier) and saw this problem.
    Is this some setting that is incorrect? How do I correct this.

    thats weird - after iOS8 upgrade, whenever i click on the edit box and start typing nothing happens until I repeatedly tap on the edit box.  I find that tapping faster eventually fixes this kb/typing issue

  • Apple Bluetooth Keyboard not 'discovered.'

    I just bought a new Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and a D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth Adaptor.
    Though System Preferences (10.3.9) shows Bluetooth and the Bluetooth icon appears in the menu bar... the keyboard refuses to be 'discovered.' I have tried numerous USB ports (both directly on my box and a USB 1.1/2.0 card installed) and have flipped the keyboard on/off switch back-and-forth for each USB port I've tried. Still the keyboard is not 'discovered.'
    This is on a G3 B/W with numerous upgrades. Otherwise this box has been superb since I bought it right after it was originally released.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hey there GreggRocky,
    It sounds like your bluetooth keyboard profile is setup in your Bluetooth preferences but is not pairing up like it is supposed to. I want to recommend removing the device from your bluetooth preferences and setting it back up.
    1. Choose Apple menu -> System Preferences.
    2. Click Bluetooth.
    3. Click Devices.
    4. Select the device you want to delete from the Bluetooth Devices listing.
    5. Click the Delete Pairing button.
    6. Click Delete or "Disconnect and Delete".

  • Apple Bluetooth Keyboard Not Connecting

    Hello,
      I have an iPad 3 (model MD340LL/A) given to me by my school and the standard Apple Bluetooth keyboard.  Last year, I used the keyboard with my iPad without a problem.  However, my school collected our iPads over summer and did a software reset on them and set them up with their own system (a few standard apple apps are disabled).  Since I got my iPad back, my keyboard will not connect to it.  The iPad is physically the same one I had last year, but the software was reset.  When I press the power button on the keyboard, the light turns green for around 3-4 seconds and then turns off.  It won't go into discoverable mode where the light starts flashing.  we have tried connecting it to my dad's MacBook, and it sometimes shows up while searching for a device, but any attempt to connect to it ends in a pairing unsuccessful message.  How can I get my keyboard to connect to my iPad?  The iPad is on iOS 7.1, and I know that none of my school's changes to the iPad should affect my keyboard, since they haven't changed from last year when they worked fine.
    Thanks,
      Nihar
