Why won't my USB external keypad work?

Hi there, I'm trying to set up my Targus Wireless Numeric Keypad (AKP11CA) to my MacBook (OS X). Nothing seems to work. I am supposed to plug in the USB receiver, then turn the keypad on. The first time I did this, the computer recognized that I was trying to plug in an external keypad, and asked me to press the key to the right of my shift button. Since my keypad only has numbers, this was impossible, so I skipped it, and then they gave me three choices to choose from: JIS, ISO or ANSI. I assume my keyboard is none of these things.
I have tried different combinations of how I plug it in: Turn it on first then plug it it, turn it on, plug it in, then reset, etc. Nothing has worked. I've also checked the battery. Help!

Thanks for the reply!
The file on the eMac that I'm trying to transfer onto the flash drive is far less than 4GB.
So I went onto the eMac's Disk Utilities and reformatted the flash drive as Mac Extended: still no dice. Even with the contents of the flash drive erased, any attempt to copy files onto it resulted in the same "not enough disk space" message.
So I tried reformatting the same flash drive on the upstairs Mac. Same thing. I tried reformatting the flash drive both as "Mac Extended" and "Mac Extended (journaled)."
Thoughts?

  • Why won't my USB flash drive work?

    I am working between two Macs in my house: the upstairs one is MAC OSX 10.6.8, and the downstairs one (an eMac) is MAC OSX 10.5.8 -- if that matters.
    I need to transfer files from the downstairs computer to the upstairs one.
    When I insert a USB flash drive into the upstairs Mac, I am able to save files to it and from it. (I have already read about the correct way to format the flash drive for FAT 32 and read/write, and I eject the drive correctly when I'm finished.)
    Then when I go insert the flash drive into the downstairs Mac:
    the flash drive appears on the desktop
    I'm able to open it, to see the files saved to it
    I can save files off of it, BUT
    I cannot save files to it. I get a message that there isn't enough disk space, which is incorrect -- there's plenty of memory
    I have tried opening Disk Utilities on both MACs, erasing the flash drive's contents, and reformatting it, but I get the same situation.
    I'm guessing the solution is simple and involves the eMac's preferences. Am I on the right track?
    Frustrating.
    Many thanks for your help!

  • Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

    Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

    I just found and removed a small piece of sticky tape which was covering the mic. The mic is on the top surface of a mac - you can only just see a lighter coloured small round circle in line with the camera on the top narrow surface. My problem was sorted despite all other help and just before I gave up.  Check no-one has posted a sticky message, camera cover or even an ornament over your mic. How many folk know where the mic is?

  • Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3

    As said in the title Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3. I have tried everything (uninstalling AIR, reinsalling it etc) I can think of but nothing makes it work. This image shows what I get in return every time I try to install the app. My PC meets all requirements to run Adobe AIR. Why is this occuring? I have the current version of AIR.  

    Hi oxide9999999999,
    For the moment, you have to install the version of AIR linked from their site: http://www.avatarmovie.com/desktop/index.html
    Hope this helps,

    Not strictly true - though I know what you mean.
    To be absolutely accurate - there is another one - you put your ear to when using the phone to make a call.
    Sorry its being pedantic - but I couldn't resist.

  • HT4145 why won't my old airport express work?

    why won't my old airport express work?

    Not sure what you mean by "won't work".
    Won't turn on at all?
    Won't allow configuration changes?
    What are you trying to do with the AirPort Express?
    If you could provide the Model No of the old Express.....look on the side of the Express for this.....it will be something like "A x x x x"
    and
    If you could provide the version of AirPort Utility that you are using.....open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About AirPort Utility to locate the version number
    We can probably help

  • Why won't my USB to Coax converter work? No output

    I'm trying to use a USB to Coax converter with my iMac. It's detected just fine but when I try to play any audio in iTunes it flat out won't tick past 0:00. It's like iTunes doesn't recognize it as an output.
    The device is an Audio-gd Digital Interface and I want to use it because the USB section of my Marantz SA8004 is awful. I know it's probably a quick fix but I'm at a loss.

    Is this a USB hard drive or a USB thumb drive?
    If hard drive is it one of the USB powered drives, IE No AC Adapter to supply power to the drive?

  • Why won't my USB mic work with Facetime?

    I use a headset for chatting on my Macbook Pro because the audio quality is better than the stock speakers and built in mic.  For some reason today when I'm using Facetime, its only receiving audio input through the built in mic on the laptop.  The computer is detecting that there is another mic connected, and it works fine when using Skype or Ventrilo, but won't use it for Facetime.  The output works fine.  I can still hear everything through my headset, it just won't use my headset mic.  It was working correctly with my headset mic last night, and after restarting my computer this afternoon, this problem started.  Anyone have any ideas?

  • Why won't my USB drive work?

    Hello,
    I have a Kingston Datatraveler Locker USB that I use on a regular basis. In order to use this thumb drive I need to run the encryption program and type in my password before I can access the data that I have stored on it. Before I upgraded my Macbook Pro to the new iOS Yosemite it worked perfectly. Now, every time I put the USB in, my macbook recognizes that an USB is inserted; however, when I go to run the encryption program I get a message saying that the program quit unexpectedly and no matter how many times I try, this continues to happen. I have tried multiple times, taking the USB out and inserting it and trying to run the program again. I tried to restart my Macbook and relaunching finder.

    It is unfortunately (or fortunately) not a problem with your Mac. I have a brand new MacBook, free of any dust clouds, and my DTL+ also does not work. See the note from the Kingston support board below:
    I updated my MacOS to 10.10 (Yosemite). Now my DT Locker Plus does not work. Is there a fix for this?
    Unfortunately Apple made changes in their update to the MacOS that disabled the function of this drive. Since this drive is discontinued, we will have no fix for it. Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you.
