does anyone know why my new apple wireless keyboard is not being seen in boot camp?
As soon as I get into windows through bootcamp it is not there.
Oddly it is seen in parallels and VMware.
Please help.

Have you paired it under Windows yet? Once Windows boots, it takes control of the bluetooth radio and devices need to be repaired to work in both OS X and Windows.

Parallels and VMWare is just seeing they keyboard because OS X is passing it through.

Please define "get into Windows through Boot Camp." Boot Camp does two things: it creates a partition for you to install Windows on and then helps you install it, and it provides Windows drivers for your Mac hardware. Once you've installed Windows, you boot into it natively as if the computer were a PC.

When installing Windows, you need a wired keyboard and mouse. After that, you can pair a BT keyboard and/or mouse with your Mac while running Windows, and XP should remember them.

thanks for the help.
i knew that the keyboard had to be setup in windows, but for some reason it refused to work.
eventually it paired and is now working.
thanks!
