Will any USB keyboard work w/GarageBand?

I have never used garageband and would like to buy a keyboard for my son to use with a Leopard mac. Will any USB keyboard work? Is it necessary to install drivers? Thanks.

Yes you should be good to go with any connection. The new Mac already has your drivers installed - simple!

Will the lightning USB adapter work with regular USB jump drives?

Will the lightning USB adapter work with regular USB jump drives?

Not really.
Technically, with some USB drives (I've had a 50% success rate) you can import photos or videos off the drive - thi those photos or video follow a very strict naming convention.
But you cannot import anything but photos or video and there is zero support to write off the iPad to the flash drive....so while it technically may work, it's so limited to effectively not work.

Will my apple desktop keyboard work on my ipad as well?

will my apple desktop keyboard work on ipad 2 as well?

Hi, I think so, I connected an apple wireless/bluetooth keyboard to mine once, it worked, but it wasnt worth it. Once I connected it I used it for a little bit, when i was done, i had to go through the hustle of trying to reconnect it back to my mac. Does it work :Yes. Is it worth it : No.

Will USB video work on 27" iMac ?

Hi there,
I just realized that the new 27" iMac has no FireWire400.
My Panasonic SD video camera do not have a FireWire800 which the 27" iMac has.
But my Panasonic SD cideo camera has a mini-USB outlet. Can I connect this mini-USB to the USB port in the 27" iMac ? Will FCE be able to capture the video in 27" iMac ?
I remember when I tried using this method of sing USB to capture in (cannot remember whether was using Windows Movie Maker or Sony Vegas), there was no sound. I was told that it is a bug in the software.
WIll that be the case in the 27" iMac ?
Thank you.

There are a couple of Firewire debates I'm aware of:
• When Apple removed one of the Firewire slots on the iMac so that only one remained.
• When the company for a short period of time removed the Firewire slot completely from the older Aluminum Macbook.
The only way this should affect you is if you were using an external FW drive, in which case you'd have to remove it when capturing or try daisy-chaining the camera through the drive.
Oh yes, I just checked the 27" iMac specs, OMG it has only one FW800 !!
But my Lacie external HDD is a FW800 !!
So, everytime, I want to capture a video to FCE4, I need to remove my Laice external HDD ? That is very troublesome ... now I know why the rest are so angry !!
How does daisy-chaining works ? But in the first place, what is daisy-chaining ?
Thanks

Keyboard and lightning of my macbook doesnt work, neither does the usb keyboard work. I need to reinstall osx as its showing the folder with a questionmark. Any suggestions?

I've got a Macbook Pro 13" early 2011. The keyboard and its lightning doesnt work, neither isnt working anymore. I need to reinstall osx as its showing the folder with a questionmark. An USB keyboard doesnt work either.. Any suggestions?

Restart.
Try this. I know you said "keyboard is not working.
Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
If this does not help, contact Apple.
Best.

Share one monitor/keyboard/mouse - Belkin Flip - does USB keyboard work?

I'm thinking about getting a Belkin Flip (http://www.belkin.com/flip)
to share my 22" (DVI) monitor between Mac and PC. The Flip can also
share mouse and keyboard. I know a USB mouse works on the Macbook, but
I don't know about the USB keyboard (what key would be the Apple-clover?)

Well, I went ahead and bought the Belkin flip - worked out-of-the-box!
The first thing I got working was the DVI display hookups, one for my PC
the other for my Mac.
Then I got the USB working for mouse+keyboard and then finally sound.
When I switch from the Mac back to my PC, it sometimes takes XP a few
seconds to recognize the mouse+keyboard, but it hasn't been longer
than say a minute.

Garagekey USB keyboard works with MacBook Pro, but not with 27" iMac

Just got a brandnew 27" iMac. The Garagekey USB keyboard doesn't work. It's recognized in systemProfiler, Audio-Midi Setup, GarageBand and Logic. But no Midi is coming in. When I plug it into my MacBook Pro, it works immediately. I know the Garagekey doesn't work with some 3rd party USB hubs, maybe for lack of enough power, but it works always at the internal USB hubs with the MacBook Pro. Why doesn't it with the 27" iMac? I'm cueless...
The IMac Systemprofiler says: Current Available (mA) 500, Current Required (mA) 300. So I guess, it can't be a power problem?

Have the same problem with Logic Pro. Works on my old Mac Mini but not on the new iMac 27" i5. Apple told me that it is a difference between the boards they used on the two computers. They said that even if I got a new mac mini I would run into the same problem. they recommended that I upgrade my mini, or try another piece of hardware to connect the two. Looking for hardware now. Good luck to you.

Do the new slim USB keyboards work with OSX 10.4.7?

Hi everyone,
I really want to get one of those new slim apple USB keyboards for my iMac, but it says on its product description page that the system requirements are OSX 10.4.10. I have 10.4.7 running on my iMac, don't want to update it coz my everything is working perfectly and my theory is if it ain't broke, why fix it? So was wondering if I did get the keyboard anyway, would it work with 10.4.7?
I do hear horror stories of people updating their software and having nightmarish problems thereafter, thats why am very cautious about updating my software, as currently I am in a real sweet spot of stability, and don't want to upset that.
Thanks for your responses in advance!

Well I got the slim keyboard (love it), and did the updates till 10.4.10 as required. It all went ok, but got blue screen of death after the quicktime update, and had to do a hard reset (my first ever on my iMac), and is all ok now - so far...
But! The best bit was - the Gfx card performance is up 20% :))
(I do graphics work, ran a couple of tests after the updates. Neat!)
The updates probably had a Gfx card driver update...
I guess its win win all round, just hope i don't have any stability issues now - fingers crossed!

Will a Palm portable keyboard work with iPad?

I have a portable Palm keyboard that I use with a Palm TX. I want to know if it will work with an iPad, Does anyone know? Thanks

Palm has made a number of wireless keyboards and not all of them were even compatible with all of the different models of Palm handhelds. Different model keyboards required different drivers based on the OS version of the handheld. The one you have may well workwith an iPad or it may not, you will need to try. But I would not get my hopes up.
I can tell you that the Apple BT keyboard works a treat with my iPad 2 and the two look smart together.

Will any non USB printer work with Airport express?

WIll any non USB based printer work with airport express?

If you have an iPad, you might want to concentrate on printers that are AirPrint compatible, so that you can print from the iPad.

All USB stops working after restarting iMac, please help!

I am having a serious problem with my iMac and i'm at a loss of what to do. I have a 24" imac with 10.5.6 and about a week or two ago I restarted my computer only to find that none of my USB ports were working. I thought it was a fluke so i just restarted again, only to find out that they still wernt working. I was forced to do a restore because I couldn't find a fix so I booted up from my leopard disc and did a restore from my time machine backup. I thought all was well and good until i restarted again yesterday. The same exact thing happened so I did another restore. Well, I just needed to restart my computer again and what do you know, my USB stopped working again! I have repaired permissions, done the apple hardware test, reset the PRAM, and verified the disc to see if there was anything wrong with it. I am at a total loss on what to do and Im really not looking forward to doing another restore only to have it do the exact same thing. Please help!

If you haven't tried this, try resetting the SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543?viewlocale=en_US
When you booted from the restore disk, did you run Disk Utility to check the hard disk for errors?
If not... make sure and disconnect anything connected to the USB ports first,
To check the hard disk:
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Insert your Mac OS X Install disc in your computer’s optical drive or an optical drive connected to your computer, and then restart your computer. When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the progress indicator, which looks like a spinning gear.
Follow the onscreen instructions until the Menu Bar appears with the Utilities menu in it, choose Utilities > Disk Utility, click First Aid, and then click the Verify button. If DU reports errors, click Repair. When it's finished, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Disk. In the Startup Disk window select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
Also, click the Apple logo top left in your Desktop, click: About This Mac, then click: More Info
That will launch your System Profiler. Under Contents on the left, click: USB and make sure your USB information is there.

Will SL backup on TM work on newest iMac??

Hi everyone, i have a problem and i will try to explain as best as i can. It is a little long but i hope someone will be able to help me.
The main question: is it possible restore backup from my old iMac (10.6) onto my newest 10.9 iMac?? the reason why i want to do this is that i had wd passport attached to my old iMac and secured with wd's password, which was always remembered by the system. Once i purchased my new iMac i transferred everything over using migration assistant. at that point everything worked like a charm. Everything transferred over even my wd passport credentials so there was no need for me to enter wd password to access my external drive. Then system updated to maverics and when i tried to access my wd passport external drive it asked for the password, which i of course forgot because i didn't have the need to use since it was always remembered. Now i have no way of accessing that drive without entering the password.
Now i had TM backup from my old iMac (10.6) which remembered my wd external drive password. my theory is that if i restore using that backup i will be able to access my drive without entering the password like it was on my old iMac. So if i restore using that backup will it work?? will there be cpu issues since my new iMac has newer cpu which didn't exist when my old system was backup up??
i hope i explained this clearly. thank you in advance
Marta

The simple answer is, No. Snow Leopard cannot boot your new computer. You could restore individual files from the old backup, but that would be all you can do. I'm afraid I don't quite understand how your password did work but then stopped. You said it happened when you updated to Mavericks, but your computer should have come with Mavericks already installed.
I suggest you consider:
Contact WD to find out if it's possible to recover from a forgotten password.
Connect the drive to your new computer and re-partition and reformat it, if that's possible.
Connect the drive to your old computer in order to recover or alter the password.

Will FCE HD 3.5 work on last iMac G5 model?

My friend has the final 17 iMac before it went Intel. He can't afford Final Cut Studio. Will FCE HD 3.5 run on his iMac?
Be kind, I switched him.

Hi Andrew.
It looks as though you have everything covered.
I don't know how full your iMac's internal HD is, but the less material on it the better.
Use this FREE utility - Whatsize to get a list of all the files on your HD starting with the largest. Then you can see what is taking up space and whether it is something you can trash.
It takes a couple of minutes or so to run.
http://www.id-design.com/software/whatsize/index.php
You could also defragment the HD by copying every possible file to your LaCie, deleting the originals (don't forget to empty the trash) and copying them back from the LaCie.
Incidentally you don't say whether you have used FCE before?
Ian.

Will a Saittek Eclipse usb keyboard work with an Intel Mac Mini?

The Saittek Eclipse is my favorite keyboard.
Anybody know if it will work with an Intel Mac Mini.
Box only says Windows, but I'm just wondering if everything except volume controls will work fine? (it is also illuminated, with a light level control, but I'm guessing this shouldn't matter with Windows vs OS X?)

I am a writer though and a photographer (strictly point and shoot) for a couple of orgs. I just don't want o run out of space. And I hate!! slow response time.
Is the i5 adequate as well?
Glad to have found an Apple guru so quickly. May very well buc you more in the future.
