New small WIRED keyboard not working with bootcamp

Greetings from Stuttgart, Germany
I just bought one of these new small WIRED keyboards for my macbook pro (early 2008/not unibody).
It's working fine with OSX but not with my bootcamp vista business x64: the fn-key is not recognized. After inspecting the device manager I found out that the keyboard is not recognized as an Apple keyboard like my old one (with numeric keys).
Afer updating bootcamp to version 2.1 I uninstalled the keyboard from the device manager, plugged it in again and it was still not recognized as an Apple Keyboard
Is there a way to manually force vista to use apple keyborad driver? Or is there an update for bootcamp on its way to solve the problem?
Best wishes,
Wolfgang Gross

UPDATE: a possible solution that is NOT working:
in device manager, for both USB Human interface devices associated to the a hardware id (05AC/021E) of the keyboard:
Update driver > browse my computer.. > let me pick.. > show compatible hardware.. > Apple Inc./Apple keyboard 2.1.0..
Doesn't change the keyboard (mis-)behaviour

Why doesn't the desktop 'snap to grid' work with Snow Leopard?

I've recently upgraded my OS to Snow Leopard and I do a lot of work with photo folders which I keep organized on my desktop. Since upgrading the 'snap to grid' function in the view options of the desktop preferences has stopped working. For some reason the folders and files on the desktop keep snapping off the screen or on top of each other so that I cannot find them easily. I've had to turn off the 'snap to grid' and the desktop no longer looks organized and is not easy to navigate. Why is this happening? AND, how do I fix it? It seems to me the snap to grid shouldn't have gone out the window with an upgraded OS. I'm very organized and borderline OCD so this is FRUSTRATING me to no end!!!
Anyone have any ideas?

It's working for me in 10.6. Try moving this file in your Home Folder/Library to the trash -- don't empty it yet.
/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
When finished go back to the Desktop>View Options and select Snap to grid.
If that doesn't do it, open Terminal in utilities and copy/paste this command, then hit return. Don't attempt to type it in by hand. If you make a typo or get the spaces wrong, there could be a disaster. When finished go back to the Desktop>View Options and select Snap to grid.
rm ~/Desktop/.DS_Store

Why does Logic 9 not work with Snow Leopard?

I have the basic system and it fails to load everytime. Had to reinstall Leopard and lost all my prefs... very much a pain. I don't understand why Apple makes updated operating systems and doesn't ensure that their own products are compatible. Apple was my favorite but after this, it was way to much drama. Had a client from out of town watching me reinstall everything because of this issue.

Hey, Listen I feel your pain Ive gone through **** the past month with the exact same problem!
I upgraded my system with bigger hard drive and mem, and Snow Lepoard!
Got my Logic Studio and after a month of trouble shooting on here and with Tech Support it did
turn out to be because of Snow Lep! I tried all the updates, un install Logic Studio.
But the guys who put Snow Lep on my system did it in the shop and didnt charge me. I didnt think
too much into it really. So basically it was an illegal copy of Snow Lep. I went and bought a copy. Un installed
Snow Lep and put the legal one on. Its been working fine since!

Numeric Key Pad is not working. How do I fix this?

FireFox is an excellent browser but I am now unable to use the Numeric Key pad and at times the whole keyboard will not work until I reboot.
Where is it that I would change whatever settings to use the Numeric Key pad.
The Key Pad works fine otherwise.
I assume the keymap has been remapped?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

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
https://www.google.dk/search?q=program+which+display+the+acsii+of+typed+letters& oq=program+which+display+the+acsii+of+typed+letters&aqs=chrome..69i57.11855j0j4& sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8#q=program+which+display+the+ascii+of+typed+let ters&spell=1
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
like this

Numeric key pad is not working, card reader is not working

Numeric key pad is not working, card reader is not working,

Did you (or someone else) physically open the laptop case?
If you did, then some cables might have gone loose inside.
If you didn't, for the card reader, check if appropriate device drivers are installed in windows device manager.
for the numeric keypad, first tap once on the NUM LOCK key and check.
If this doesn't solve the problem, boot to "Safe mode", and check.

Any ideas on why the numerical keypad on the far right isn't working?

Hi,
what Apple keyboard do you use ?
Usually the Num-Lock function is enabled using the 'Clear'-key (directly above the '7'-key on the numpad).

I cant get the number pad on the right side of my wired keyboard to work

i cant get the number pad on the right side of my wired keyboard to work. when i puch a key, my computer will either freeze or it will do nothing. Plz help me. My mac is an Intel-based mac, Running off of Mac OS X 10.4.10, not the one made out of aluminum. what should i do?

Hi, it's the old favorites - Repair Permissions, Run OnyX Maintenance App. Reboot, reset Keyboard/ Mouse settings, run Tech Tool. Try another usb keyboard on the mac or try your k/b on another computer (laptop or desk) - If have AppleCare - Call Apple. You can get a new KensingtonMac USB K/B for around $30.00 online..L

Z and v keys on wired keyboard not working

Been very pleased with the reliability of my 24" iMac to date, with very few (if any) problems worth mentioning till the last few days when the z and v keys on the fullsize aluminium keyboard originally supplied with the iMac no longer work?
Can anyone shed any light on why these keys refuse to work. Is it a case of throw the keyboard away, or is it a software issue?
I've rebuilt the permissions using Disk Utility which did find quite a few errors, but it didn't fix the problem of the missing Z and V buttons on the keyboard.
It may just be simply that the keyboard is worn out, but I'm no journalist and don't drink Coke or eat McDonalds burgers over the keyboard so see no reason why these particular keys have reason to stop working.
And please note, I'm typing this from the smaller wireless keypad which explains why I can still type the Z and V keys!

Thanks for the advice, I dug out my old G3 Mac keyboard, plugged it in, and it worked, so it is the keyboard that is faulty rather than the Mac - can't believe it's only lasted 5 years
Guess that it means a trip over to my local Apple Store to buy another keyboard, and knowing my luck, a few other items whilst I'm in there

Restore iPhone with current iTunes on computer. See if better. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. Of if easier for you, take receipt and iPhone, box and everything and return to where you bought it.

Why my key scrambler 2.7.0 does not work with firefox 4.0?

My plug-in Key scrambler 2.7.0 used to work with your firefox 3.6.16 but it doesn't work with firefox 4.0?

S o l u t i o n : Just go to their site qfxsoftware.com (as seen in firefox "Add-ons" "Keyscrambler" "More".
Their at "Download" get the Free Download Version for free, or Download the Pro or Premium Version (not free).
KeyScrambler_Setup.exe has actual 1.164KB
Install and voila, you have Version 2.7.1.0 and it works with Firefox 4.0 !!
AGAIN, this nice Ad-on hasnt updated itself via the Firefox Browser, like it didn't when the last Firefox Version was new!
Why? I think KeyScrambler is one of the most important Add-ons for my Browser, beside the Add-on "NoScript".
Also when you search for "Key-Scrambler" via the Browser-Add-on-Search you cant find this Add-on anymore!!
Maybe our Goverments didnt like it? ;)
Think twice . . .

Hi Moe,
Sounds mostly likje a bad KB, do you have another to test with?
Or...
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
