Apple Usb Keyboard

  



Playing a MIDI keyboard to re-harmonize “Beat It” in real-time. Pitchmap is available as an Audio Unit plug-in, runs under OS X 10.5.8 or later on a Mac, and is fully 64-bit compatible. Question: Q: Apple USB keyboard is not being recognized with my iMac, what do I do? When I startup my computer I am prompted with the 'there isn't a keyboard connected' message. I'm using an apple wired USB keyboard, it was working perfectly fine yesterday and it appears to still be operational as I can charge my iPhone from it.

I use my MBP like a desktop unit when I am home (most of time). It's hoked up to an external monitor and external keyboard as well as many other peripherals.
Here is my question.
If I shut down my MBP and start it again (not restart), is there a way to power it up by using the external keyboard (they used to have power button on the keyboard but not anymore...). Or any other external device such as the power button on the monitor?
