Hi,

I spilt water on my wireless apple keyboard and have had to replace it. I am running bootcamp and the default startup option is windows. This means that I cant get into OSX to sync up the new keyboard as everytime i turn the Mac on it goes to windows and I cant use the option key (to change default to OSX) as the new keyboard isn't synched with OSX. What can I do

Hi and welcome to M-F Giles.

Do you have the machine install disks ?? If so boot from them and then do your keyboard syncing.

HTH

Cheers

Or, select OS X as your startup default from the Boot Camp control panel application in Windows, reboot and then sync the keyboard.

or, get a cheap USB keyboard... seen them at Best Buy for about $4 or borrow one from someone.
