I use a very cheap external numeric keypad on my MacBook Pro under Leopard, and it works fine. 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? Foob
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!
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. Once I turned that off, I got numbers again. Bluray driver for mac.
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!!
Numeric Keypad For Mac
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!
