Created Issue: Program will not start on WS2012 with SQL2012 [1112]

ErikvanD — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:38:37 GMT

I have used the Apple keyboard program for a while on my 2009 Macbook Pro running Windows Server 2012 which worked quite well. The program was not too stable (fn-backspace stopped working regularly which is in my opinion the most important key combo) but it always recovered quickly after a restart.

Today I installed SQL Server 2012 and now the program will not start at all. This is the second time I notice that it fails once SQL is installed so there must be some coherence. SQL 2012 comes with .Net 4.0, might that be the reason? Any ideas on this?

Thanks!
Erik

Created Issue: Fn key no longer working since last update [1086]

neonsquare — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 11:26:55 GMT

I recently moved the program from one hard drive to the other and it updated itself to the latest version but now it no longer functions correctly.
The only other version I could find was 1.0 which works perfectly but doesn't support the Fn > ctrl switch which was a really great feature.

Is there any chance you could upload the previous version minus the update file?

Commented Issue: Fn+Arrow key work abnormal [901]

Please update the Virtual key codes according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd375731(VS.85).aspx
 
KeyboardControl.cs
 const int VK_END = 0x23;
 const int VK_HOME = 0x24;
 const int VK_PAGEUP = 0x21;
 const int VK_PAGEDOWN = 0x22;

Comments: ** Comment from web user: jmschu02 **

Yup, this is correct, also please update to work with multiple keys...ie...
Fn + Left Arrow + shift: should select all text to home.

This code is all in KeyboardControl.cs I have this functionality working with some minor changes

Commented Issue: incorrect key code values for End and PageDown [519]

In KeyboardControl.cs, you've got VK_END defined as 37, and VK_PAGEDOWN as 35; the keycodes should be 35 and 34, respectively. The app is coming along nicely, can't wait for configurations.

Commented Issue: fn and eject key dont work on apple wired keyboard and windows 7 x64 [665]

Booser — Thu, 24 May 2012 15:48:47 GMT

fn key doesnt work as well as the eject on the apple wired keyboard on windows 7 ultimate x86 and it would be great to use fn + media etc keys rather than use them directly or else i loose function key functionality and to use that then need to use command + function keys.

really great stuff, just need a fix for fn and eject
Comments: ** Comment from web user: Booser **

I can't use the Fn key too in my Windows 7 Professional. I use a PC and the corded apple keyboard.

Hello nlb6665, can you send me this recompiled version?

The first purpose for installing this software is for coding, cause my notebook has a terrible keyboard and PageUp and PageDown is very necessary for me. So I would really apreciate if you could send me.
Thanks!

Created Issue: Stops functioning 1-2 times per day [783]

woz017 — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 08:53:00 GMT

This app does exactly what it says and allows me to use a greeat keyboard with my work laptop. Great application - thanks for time taken to develop this.

The only issue I have it that it stops working a couple of times per day. The keyboard itself is still paired and I can type the 'standard' characters. The issue is that the special mapped keys stop working. For example I notice it mostly using FN+DEL (which I use a lot)

I need to restart the application to get it working again. Sometimes the restart from the taskbar icon works, but the most reliable way is for me to kill the AppleWirelessKeyboard.exe application in taskmanager and start the app again manually.

I am running Windows 7 x64 on a laptop and wondered whether there was a conflict between the AppleWirelessKeyboard app and the windows drivers managing the laptop keyboard. I use this all day everyday and would be happy to test and suggested configuration changes or beta releases to address this.

Commented Issue: swapped keys! [15]

metpet — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 12:12:47 GMT

Another "bug": my "\|" key was swapped with the "<>" key!
The other keys are ok, just these 2 keys.
Is it something I could fix with the source?
Comments: ** Comment from web user: metpet **

I'm using the small Aplle Bluetooth Keyboard with german layout... the mapping is wrong, but because of the different keyboard layout it's the <> keys that ar swapped with the °^ keys...

Commented Issue: fn and eject key dont work on apple wired keyboard and windows 7 x64 [665]

I've also noticed that if you update to Bootcamp 3.3 keyboard drivers it stops working.

i guess this has something to do with the apple keyboard drivers installed in windows 7, earlier i tried with the old drivers as well as the default which windows 7 recognizes as HID device only and in that the fn as well as eject dont work but in bootcamp apple keyboard drvers 3.1 the fn starts working but the eject still dead

Created Issue: Stops working after a while [621]

rsmith4321 — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 14:42:24 GMT

I've noticed after a while it will stop catching keyboard command such as the volume controls. For example firefox will go to full screen catching the F11 key instead of adjusting the volume. If I restart the software everything will work again. It just seems to happen after a while. I'm running Windows 7 x64.

Created Issue: F6 key seems to cause processing loop. [435]

Cheshire121 — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 04:34:31 GMT

To reproduce the details, I was using the keyboard application while browsing with Firefox 4.0.1; so initially I thought it was Firefox at fault.
I wanted to refresh a page, and accidentally hit the F6 key. After that Firefox locked up and the rest of my system became somewhat less responsive and lagged.
I noticed later that "applewirelesskeyboard.exe" was abusing 15/20% of my i7 950 through rainmeter, and doubled checked with ProcessExplorer.

I tested the error with other application windows to see if it really was just a communication bug between the two initial apps. While testing, the F6 key did yield higher usage of the processor when pressed. I have to kill the keyboard process before I can use my keyboard/functions again.
I fear that anyone without a powerful processor would almost completely lose their ability to use their computer after the bug occurs.

I'm using Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit; with and intel i7 950 processor.
I'm hoping this information will be enough to investigate and fix the bug, but if not let me know.

This application is great, and more to look at than others. I would like to do all I can to aid in its further development and growth as an application.
Thanks for the hard work, and I hope to see a fix soon! :)

Created Issue: Using F2 to rename doesn't work [124]

Martn — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 13:03:52 GMT

Thanks for creating such an usefull program for the Apple Keyboard!

The only thing that doesn't work for me is when I select a folder and press F2 to rename it. It only works when I press both the Fn and the F2 keys. Switching between the Fkeys mode and Function mode doesn't help.

Commented Issue: Fn + Backspace = Delete doesn't work [56]

I tested the task manager and the print screen and they both works.
The "Delete" (that is much more important) doesn't work...
Comments: ** Comment from web user: renderwarrior **

sometimes it doesn't works too for me... I need to close the application and start over again
