Hooked up a new Apple external keyboard to my MacBook Pro today and the number pad doesn't work at all in Fusion. It does work in Mac OS X. I tried hooking it up (USB) while in Windows but that didn't help. Anyone else have this problem and if so, have you found a solution? John Dean, Rochester,NY.

I use a very cheap external numeric keypad on my MacBook Pro under Leopard, and it works fine. How to download movies on mac laptop. The first time I connected it to my MBP, tthe OS asked me what sort of keyboard it was, I answered ISO keyboard, and that's all.
I didn't notice any problem since. OK, I don't use iCal.

The problem i have (haven't tried it in a while with a {C belkion pad) is that i want both the arrow mode and the keypad mode to work.
There's a freeware called Eukeke http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele that
can edit the keyboard file; it's tough though and i could never get
the belkin to play right.
Does anyone have recommendations for Tiger and Leopard for
'mac friendly' external numeric keypads?

Bam! You nailed it for me. I had an old Toshiba external and that did it. Before the tip, OSX thought it was a full keyboard. Thanks!
Ipad Keyboard With Numeric Keypad
I have a macbook with OS X, and holding down the num lock key while I connected the usb cable worked like a charm. It still said that the keyboad would need to be identified before it could be used properly, but I just closed that screen, went to excel, and the number pad worked fine. Thanks for the tip!!
i bought a targus numeric keypad which is just for pc's but the second trick where i held the number lock down for over four seconds while it was plugged into my macbook made it work in programs that it was not working in before i tried. thanks for the tip.
My problem was that I had Mouse Keys turned on in the Universal Access system preferences panel. Vpskeys 4.3 download for mac. Once I turned that off, I got numbers again. Quickbooks for mac support.
I had to sign up to post and say 'thank you' for this tip! I have a new 15' MacBook Pro and was having a problem trying to get my cheapo external number pad to work. The second trick -- holding down the Num Lock key for 4 seconds -- worked the second time I tried it. Also, I had to close the applications I was trying to use the number pad in and re-open them after holding down the Num Lock key before it would work. Thank you!!
Number Pad For Mac Air
Thank you so much! I do subtitling and CC's with Swift software installed on parallels. Swift Create uses numeric keyboard and I have been lugging around a huge keyboard because the numeric one wasn't working. I held down the num lock before plugging it in and now it works! Thank you!

Number Pad For Mac
The perfect application!
It's an awesome application and makes using Sibelius a breeze with my laptop. Support was brilliant and the instructions supplied very clear - just follow them precisely! Very clever!★★★★★Income Tax Made Easy!
Every year at tax time I search for a numeric keypad for my MacBook to fill in the spreadsheets that I use to calculate expenses, etc. The only usb/bluetooth options are $60+ and have mixed reviews. I have used a full keyboard--bulky; Used the MacBook keyboard--slow. NumPad has solved the problem at a fraction of the cost with hardware I already have--my iPod! It is fast, works great and sure beats using the other options. Microsoft flight mac.Just what I needed
This app is amazing. It connects fast and it is very stable. I couldn't be happier with it. The Sibelius keys are fantastic. Thank you for this great app which is worth the price.Java vm for mac. ★★★★★Excellent
Couldn't work better! It uses built in services so you don't have to install additional programs. There is virtually no lag.★★★★★Perfect!
Simple setup. A total of 10 seconds to install. No lag what so ever. Thanks for the great app! Now I don't have to add a keypad to my collection of peripherals.★★★★★
