Will a wireless keyboard work for booting?

I am about to get a Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop for Mac.
Should I need to boot using some key commands, will the wireless system work, or do I need a wired keyboard?
Thanks!

Hi! Some will and some won't so keep the original keyboard. Tom

My wireless mouse often loses connection. I replace batteries and it works for a few days before becoming problematic again. Battery currently shows 100% and connection is lost intermittently. Bluetooth is on and wireless keyboard works. Any suggestions?

Is it possible that you have a bad bunch of batteries?
My Magic Mouse on one computer and the Mighty Mouse on another use batteries I bought through the Apple store (with a charger). They last a long time.

Another possiblity is that the mouse is defective. Since the keyboard connects, it has to be the mouse or the batteries.

Apple wireless Keyboard work in XP?

I am weighing up getting a MBP to use as a replacement for my PC.
I am thinking of using Bootcamp to boot the MBP into windows XP but I also have a wireless OSX keyboard (old style not thenewer thing ones)
Will this work ok on Windows XP?
I have thought of parallels or VMware, but have heard that some soundcards/drivers etc dont work properly so maybe its best that I do bootcamp and use the macbook as a pc
Thanks

As an owner of a Mac Book Pro and Mac Pro I can attest to and confirm that the Apple Mighty Wireless keyboard works perfectly in Windows XP SP2+. However, the Mighty Wireless mouse is another story, atleast for me.

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 a wireless printer work with airport extreme?

Will a wireless printer work with airport extreme? Such as an HP Photosmart D110.

Yes, it will as long as it is within wifi signal range of the Extreme. Of course, you'll need to go through the printer setup sequence. NOTE: The D110 is not AIRPRINT compatible, so it will not print from ios operating systems that are installed in mobile devices such as iphones, ipads, ipods. However, there are Apps that are available for non airprint printers, but their quality and effectiveness are questionable.

My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software. I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

This might sound like a silly question, but are you sure the iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch etc.) are still trying to connect to the same network from your own Airport router, as the MacBook Pros are? If you tap Settings on them, is the network name next to where it says Wi-Fi, the right one?
I've got a weird feeling that either in the past couple of days, a neighbour got an Airport device and hasn't set it up yet (causing your iOS devices to try to help), or that perhaps there's an issue with your Airport router and they're noticing it and trying to help out, while for whatever reason, Airport Utility isn't opening itself on the MacBook Pros like it normally should if there's a problem.
If you open Airport Utility on one of the MacBook Pros, does it report any problems with your Airport device, and can you view/edit the settings on it?

Will my serial number work for old versions?

I am a teacher and have a newer version of the software than my students do. I would like to demo in the same version they use, but it is no longer sold - will my serial number work for older versions of the same program?

No, the serial number is tied to the version/license you purchased. Can't you acquire the software in the same way that your students have to?

I have an ipad3 and wireless keyboard but for the life on me can not type a pound (GBP) symbol - can anyone help?

I have an ipad3 and wireless keyboard but for the life on me can not type a pound (GBP) symbol - can anyone help?

I would think you'd have to change the language to British English to get the pound sign. THat or turn off your wireless keyboard and get the pound sign from the on screen keyboard, then turn your wireless board back on.

I am using iPad1. Running v4.3 and when connecting to wifi iPad keyboard does not work. Keyboard works for everything else including typing this question out. Why would it not work when typingin password for wifi connection?

Lots of WIFI needs a username and password to get access. I guess you're lucky and yours is set up unsecured.
Normal secured WiFi requires only a password to get access. The password is used to encrypt traffic between your device and the WiFi access point. If whatever you are using requires a username as well then it is not simply normal secured WiFi. It might be a subscription WiFi service like GOGO, ATT, etc., or a service with authentication, i.e., college campus, etc. To help you out we need to know what you are using and what connection dialog you are being presented with. You don't have exactly the same problem as the original poster. He is having a problem entering a password into the password dialog that iOS presents when one tries to connect to a normal secured WiFi network. Could you clarify exactly which WiFi service you are using.

Will the Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse work with my iMac G5?

My Dad just sent me his old iMac G5 17". and I was wondering if the Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse will work with it!? I don't really have a place to put the computer.. so I was hoping to get the wireless mouse and keyboard so I don't have to be connected to the computer.

I have the most recent (2 AA batteries, not 3) wireless keyboard and magic mouse running on a PowerMac G5. Your iMac G5 has the same class of processor, which isn't Intel. My Mac has built-in bluetooth support, which is what these products use. I'm unsure if your iMac has bluetooth built-in or not, but if it doesn't, you can purchase the Belkin bluetooth USB dongle. That has been widely reported to work just fine within OSX.
Anyway, yes, your iMac G5 can run the wireless keyboard and mouse. You just might have to work a little for it.
Good luck!

Will Logitech Wireless keyboard/mouse work in lid closed mode?

I know you are supposed to plug in a USB keyboard and mouse to get the MacBook to work in lid closed mode.
Is it a strict requirement to be USB wired? Or will the Logitech wireless desktop be sufficient (with radio dongle plugged into USB)?
Thanks.
iMac Core Duo 2.0 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I honestly do not have a lot of confidence in this working.
Unless you can find someone who's done it or somehow get an answer from Logitech (good luck with that one) I don't know how you're gonna find out, short of buying the combo and returning it if it doesn't work.
Applecare is willing to help things work properly when they should, but something like this isn't gonna get you any response or help over the phone other then a reference back to these forums or to Logitech/google.
Hope you find an answer, but all i know is that if it says USB...then there must be a reason. Doesn't mean nothing else will work though, but might not be the easiest thing to get an "in advance" response on.

Will magic mouse and wireless keyboard work with my G4?

hello, i have a 1.25 Ghz ppc g4 imac and have leopard installed. i was wondering if i get a bluetooth dongle and a magic mouse and wireless keyboard would it work? would i also need a special kind of bluetooth adapter? i already have airport extreme, im going for the modern mac one wire (power cord) look. thank you.

According to this on the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB829LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg
the Magic Mouse requires at least OS 10.5.8 whcih you don't have.
The current wireless keyboard requires 10.6 which cannot run on a G4 iMac.
I would look to third-party solutions. I like Logitech input devices:

However, even the Logitech devicez may require a higher version of the Mac OS than you have. Be certain to check system requirements very closely before buying something.

Will this version work for boot camp?

You bought an upgrade version, not recommended for Boot Camp unless you have Windows Vista installed with Boot Camp previously. You must buy the full version

TS4494 Do you know if the Apple wireless keyboard work on windows 8??

I'd like to introduce my cousin to the apple world giving him as a birthday present an apple wireles keyboard, but he uses windows 8 on his laptop. Does anyone knows if it is compatible ?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It's compatible, but it won't work as expected. The function keys for brightness and volume won't work, as they are designed to work with Macs.
Another possibility you have is to download the Boot Camp support software from the Apple website, decompress it, look for the Wireless Keyboard driver and install it. However, this shouldn't be needed because you shouldn't have any different problem than the function keys
