How (re) - add Apple keyboard to Bootcamp (Windows 7)

Hello, I've been running bootcamp windows 7 on iMac no problem for two years.  It was wired apple keyboard (w / numeric keypad).  Today it suddenly stopped working.  It does not show as one of the screen "devices."  I plugged on a MacBook, work very well.  so the problem doesn't seem to be the keyboard itself.  All devices plugged into USB work fine, it's not the USB ports.  Also tried to add the wireless keyboard that came with the iMac does not recognize.  Can anyone help?  Thank you.

Hey there cl6120,

Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!

Let's take a moment and get the keyboard to work again, your Windows partition. I can imagine the challenge of computing without it! To ensure that your information is protected, it is always better to create a backup of the entire system. Find the steps detailed here:

Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac

Go ahead, this is an incredible resource that directs you to a resolution:

Use your Windows with Boot Camp Apple keyboard

More precisely...

If your keyboard does not work

When you use Bootcamp to install Windows on your Mac, it installs the Windows support software (drivers) that allow you to use the features of the Apple keyboards in Windows. If your keyboard works start from your Mac OS X but not of Windows, try to reinstall the Windows support software from the Boot Camp Assistant.

See you soon!

  • Satellite P750-13F - how to activate the keyboard backlit on Windows 8

    Hello!

    Today, I installed Windows 8 premium on my P750-13F, which features a backlit keyboard. In order to upgrade to Windows 8 I had to uninstall certain Toshiba drivers and other programs.

    Now, I have fully functional Windows 8, but I don't know how to access the functions of FN key (screen brightness, wifi power button, volume up/down).

    Now that the FN key is innoperative function that I miss the most is that for illumination of the keyboard, because I can still do everything else by other methods (I mean volume up/down, brightness etc) but I don't know how to illuminate the keyboard now.

    I tried to install the Toshiba hardware configuration utility, but it will not install with Windows 8. I like so much if the FN key remains innoperative (although that would be nice if it would not) but what I really want to be able to change the lighting of the keypad.

    I'll be very grateful for any ideas.

    Up to Toshiba doesn t offer Win8 tools and utility there is nothing you can do about it. I hope that will happen very soon.
    So please be patient until the stuff of Win8 will be offered for download.

  • How to add libraries and Outlook to Windows search

    Win 7 64 bit (fully updated)

    For a few days the Windows Indexing has been crashing. Newspapers reported the index have been corrupted soon after it was created. I tried to disable the indexing of power off of the search, the system restarts and to restart the two once again a number of times without success. Convenience store reported an issued but did not define what it was. I decided to cut the search locations, and then add them back one by one. This process seems to have solved the problem (so far), but I have two problems:

    (1) I don't see how to add Outlook to the windows search index locations (it existed)

    (2) above, when you search for files by using the search box I might look for *.mp3 (for example).

    This would produce a result filed under the title "Music" (the categorization is probably by library) that the search box has been filled.

    Now I search for *.mp3 and it lists FAR FAR fewer files as the search request is typed and those it lists are in the section "FILES" (they are not yet classified files in my library of music).

    If I click on "See more results" are lists all the mp3 files in a window (i.e. indexed, but are not displayed and is summarized as the search are requested).

    My guess is that this issue is the result of the libraries are not included in Index locations. If it is correct, how can I get my library back in indexed locations?

    Solved.

    The fixit 'difficulty Windows Desktop Search when it crashes or not show results"available here;

    http://support.Microsoft.com/FixIt/

    solved the problem of mp3 filese appearing as search results are typed and added Outlook on search locations.

    After execution, it is necessary to add search by default return locations.

    I have a very strong suspicion that CCleaner caused search crashing. If you have the problem, try to uncheck options related to the MS Search and traces of indexing on the Applications of CCleaner tab then repair search.

    Hello

    Yes sorry for the confusion, I used OE now on Windows live mail

    I was thinking about the error - with her referring to a "incorrect password", which I was 100% sure is the right.  (As well as all the settings again 100% correct that I compare with laptop on the desktop).

    I decided to log in my account of talktalk, which manages my phone, broadband etc and change my password by e-mail. Just to see if that would work.

    For some reason, it worked and I got e-mails from talktalk in windows live!  I did the same thing for my 2nd talktalk email address and my 3rd & last and it worked. !!

    I just don't understand not, as mentioned, all my p/Word & settings were correct.    It looks like I can well have solved the problems.

    Thanks again for your help, the setting of the pointingme in the direction of windows essentials, I downloaded, without your advice I would still look to the 'Mail' to add that these e-mail addresses of talktalk in windows live!

  • How to add a clock on the Windows 7 login screen?

    Title says it all.

    If possible, this is my personal preference, the clock is digital and transparant.

    I can't seem to find the post immediately, but I myself remember what an official Microsoft blog already said that they did not want any additional code on the login screen.  In fact, they said, they did not even want to have the accessibility of programs running (Narrator, on-screen keyboard) from there, but they had to add those to ensure legal requirements have been met.  It's also why these programs are limited - any development on those could cause risk to security, given that these applications are allowed to run in the context of the system login screen.

    The message specifically mentioned a clock saying that not even showing the time current system made the short list of things that they would arrive on the login screen.

    I'm a total noob with AE, and I don't know if it's even possible, but I want to add a face to the guy choked in this scene: the death of Carlo Rizzi - YouTube but it would look stupid if the face is floating above the screen of the window.

If you could link me a tutorial or try and explain the easiest way, discovering in mind, I'm a noob, I'll be very grateful!

    Thank you!

    It is simply a question of a correction of perhaps more appropriate color extract reflection based on luminance. The latter could easily be done by using the effect of shifting channels and then re-application using Add, blending mode, the rest is really just a case of to match the colors of any images you have for the classification of the film, give or take an additional cleaning may be required.
