I know this question may asked by many users but all the others answers is not helpfull, not working for me.
I started the Mac mini,
Logone screen appears,
I tried to type the password 3 to 4 times, but unable to login.
Then I use Mac keyboard with otg cable and connect my android phone.
I tried to type the password and most of the key is not working, few working.
Say when I press 'a' works,
Press 'd' not works, nothing display,
Press space , display 'm' and so on.
What can be the issue?
How can I login to Mac if keyboard not working.
Have not enabled the ssh or remot access?
Does regular usb keyboard will work if I purchase a new keyboard? Or have to purchase new Mac keyboard for my Mac mini?
Better solution?
I replace a new windows based keyboard and works as needed.

I am using XFCE terminal in Debian linux on Apache Guacamole from MacOS X.
I'm trying to navigate between tabs in the XFCE's terminal using ALT key shortcuts (e.g. ALT+1 and ALT+2) like shown in the screen below:
I've tried every key combination I can think of, plus researched at places like this. But I haven't yet figured out the secret.
How can I issue these ALT- key combinations from my Mac keyboard in Guacamole?
Usually the modifier key ALT on a PC means "alternate" which would translate to Mac's keyboard symbology as Option (on some Macs drawn with a branching-switch icon):
Solution (when Guacamole uses realVNC)
According to realVNC (one of the possible connection protocols by Guacamole) your needed "from Mac to PC" key mapping would be:
Pressing "CmdL" (left Command key on your local Mac) will result in "AltL" (left Alt key on the remote PC/Linux)
Insightful thoughts
When using Guacamole, which probably uses VNC or XRDP protocol to connect your local client (Mac) to the remote server (Linux), the keyboard mapping has to pass 2 layers, from your local hardware/OS (Mac) to browser, over Guacamole/XRDP to the remote-system (Debian with XFCE).
All these layers can interpret the key-events triggered.
Research
Like a user of this XRDP-related forum post from MacRumors (from 2015) explains:
As below link states, Alt key of PC keyboard should be mapped as Option key on OS X. This is what we see on ARD. On XRDP Alt key behaves like Windows key and is mapped to Command key.

I have been using intellij on mac for the last 4 years, now using windows temporarily, and expect to return to mac soon.
I bought a magic keyboard for my windows machine so I wouldnt have to (re)learn 2 sets of keyboard shortcuts, and i switched intellij layout to mac default, but this does not work as I expected. The mac keyboard is pretending to be a windows keyboard rather than just being a mac keyboard.
Is there a simple way to tell the magic keyboard to just be a mac keyboard? I want all keyboard shortcuts to be exactly the same.
Ive googled this for a bit but found nothing helpful.
I looked into microsoft keyboard layout creator, but it appears the windows key will always be a windows key, and windows will never see a command or option key. This may be a viable solution, but looks like a time suck, and I'd like to know if anybody has suggestions before I go down this route any further.
Thanks for your help
Try making Windows key to act as Meta:
Press Help | Edit Custom Properties... (if a dialog appears, press "Create")
"idea.properties" file will open. Add keymap.windows.as.meta=true to a new line
Restart IDE
I downloaded the agora.io video sdk asset from the asset store, imported it to a new project. On the demo "SceneHome" scene, I entered the api id. Clicked play, and as soon as I click the "join" button Unity crashes. As far as I can tell the crash happens on the
app.join(field.text);
line in the TestHome.cs script (line #86).
I tested it in 2019.3.2f1 and 2020.1.0b5. The result was the same.
The OS is Catalina 10.15.4.
The demo works on Windows.
I followed this tutorial: https://medium.com/#jake_agora.io/mac-run-video-chat-within-your-unity-application-e001091db62f but used x86_64 dlls instead of x86
Does anyone know what this is about? Or where should I begin to look?
Another tutorial, this one from Agora:

It can be caused by missing the Camera and Microphone usage in the Unity Editor project setting. Please let us know if that's the case. (I saw you are also on the Slack channel, let's continue the conversation there.).
For the people who didn't know, Agora Developer Community - Unity Chat channel is here :)
As herve nau pointed out the problem was that the Unity did not had the permission to use camera or microphone. And the solution should work. Alternatively, here is another way to add the permission as described by launzone:
1) Disable SIP: Go into recovery mode (hold CMD+R when you
restart your Mac) Don't be afraid, we are not doing anything crazy.
2) After that open Terminal (it should be accessible from one of the
Menus at the Top) Type in "csrutil disable" and hit enter. Then reboot
your Mac normally.
3) Open Terminal and type in: "sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\
Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db" and hit enter
4) For microphone access, type in: "INSERT INTO access
VALUES('kTCCServiceMicrophone','com.unity3d.unityhub',0,1,1,NULL,NULL,NULL,'UNUSED',NULL,0,1541440109);"
and hit enter
For camera, type in: "INSERT INTO access
VALUES('kTCCServiceCamera','com.unity3d.unityhub',0,1,1,NULL,NULL,NULL,'UNUSED',NULL,0,1541440109);"
and hit enter
6) check in your SystemPreferences/Security&Privacy > unity hub should
now show up in both mic and cam
7) reboot in recovery mode again (CMD+R), open terminal again, type
in: "csrutil enable" and hit enter, to enable SIP again
8) reboot normally and enjoy!
Here is the full thread. I hope it helps someone :)
check if not related to the webcam registration issue on macOs with the Unity Hub running. Fix for the camera, not sure if related to your problem: Remove the Unity Hub app, then open the project directly from Unity App. May also be useful to relocate the Unity app in another folder to force the webcam usage security registration.
Made the test here, Unity 2019.3.11.f1, using the demo app, with Hub active -> crash on press of Join Button, did the Hub removal described above, rerun the same demo and no more crash at this level. Running on Catalina 10.15.2.
I have a bunch of macbook pro and air laptops which are being controlled through SSH.
At this point I need to make them associate to an encrypted SSID. The command that I use is:
sudo networksetup -setairportnetwork en0 test-ssid 12345678 where test-ssid is the ssid that we connect to and 12345678 is the password.
When I issue this command through SSH it halts and a pop-up window appears on the laptop GUI where it says: "networksetup wants to access key "test-ssid" in your keychain with the options "Always Allow", "Deny" and "Allow"
Is there a way to make this window not appear and have the laptop simply connect to the ssid? I don't have a regular access to the laptop GUI and the SSID names constantly change so I can't really manually hit accept every time I need to connect a bunch of laptops.
Thanks in advance!
This is basically an issue with the older OS X versions. Works fine on Yosemite which I was hesitant to upgrade to.
I'm using Chrome Remote Desktop on a Windows Desktop to access an Apple iMac. I cannot figure out how to invoke the Apple Command key function from my Windows keyboard. I would think that the Windows key would work but it doesn't. Is there a way to map the Windows key to the Apple Command key? I really want to be able to invoke copy and paste from the keyboard, which are Command-C and Command-V on the iMac, so I'm stuck because I don't have a "Command" key.
My solution to this problem is to leverage the handy "Configure Key Mapping" command provided by the latest version of Chrome Remote Desktop (v. 77.0 at the time of writing). The option is available in the sidebar as shown below.
Clicking the link opens the "Configure Key Mapping" dialog, from which you can create your own mapping. An important thing to note is that the keycodes supported by Chrome Remote Desktop are not the usual "ASCII" codes to which every developer is used to (I did this error myself the first time); rather, the codes should be taken from the "UI Events KeyboardEvent code Values" W3C standard. If you go through the standard you'll find the useful "List of code values for functional keys in the Alphanumeric section" table, which I also replicate below.
Concretely, let's say you want to map your local (Windows) Ctrl key to the remote (Mac) Cmd key. From the table above we see that the code for the (left) Ctrl key is "ControlLeft", while the code for the Cmd key is "MetaLeft", so from the "Configure Key Mappings" dialog:
click "New Mapping"
enter "ControlLeft" in the "from" field
enter "MetaLeft" in the "to" field
if needed, click [New Mapping] to enter more key mappings
the configuration should now look like in the image below. Click [Done] to close the dialog window.
At this point you should be able to use Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V etc. on your local PC to trigger the corresponding Cmd-C, Cmd-V etc. commands in the remote Mac. The solution works quite well for me and it resolves a perennial problem of how to use the Cmd button while on a Windows PC without having to rely on external apps or plugins.
I'm on a Windows 10 machine remoting into an El Capitan Mac (yes, it's an old OS, but it's a 2009 model that can't be upgraded any higher). If the other solutions don't work for you (they didn't for me), you can try adding Mac keyboard shortcuts in Keyboard settings. I use this mac as a home server and only use it via Chrome Remote Desktop, so I am not worried about messing up keyboard shortcuts when using the computer's keyboard directly.
Go to Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts and add new shortcut mappings for Copy and Paste to the Ctrl key.
On Windows 10
Alt + Window + C
Alt + Window + V
On an Acer C7, the right control key maps to command. In fact, the Search key maps to command too, which is far more helpful, but available on fewer keyboards.
Well, it seems I can use the Windows Key to send the CMD Key straight away to the Mac machine. I have tried:
Windows + C: copy
Windows + V: paste
Windows + X: Cut
Windows + W: close window
Windows + Q: close application
All work nice!
However you can't use this:
Windows + Tab: switch between applications,
it is already used by Windows for the same function.
But you can still use "holding the mouse middle wheel and moving the mouse up" to see all open applications. It is a little bit painful, but does most jobs.
If things don't work - try map MetaRight to ControlLeft
I have windows keyboard connected to a mapbook. I had to swap the modifier keys: Command <-> Control.
The problem was that when connecting with the Chrome Remote Desktop to a Linux machine, the remapping MetaLeft to ControlLeft did not work. Turned out it's because the macbook remapped the left key to the MetaRight what whatever reason.
I have confirmed, using chrome remote desktop, that search+another_key does the same as CMD+another_key while remote-connected to my mac-book pro over home WiFi. I also noted that if I want to enter two search+another_key presses sequentially, I must release and repress the search key after each instance
You can map keybindings, just not that im on a mac remoting to a windows PC (with a windows keyboard) and I noticed that MetaRight is the windows key (as oppose to Meta left).
If you want to use e.g. WIN-key + C to represent Cmd + C on mac, other than "Configure key mappings" (WIN-key seems mean Cmd on mac by default?), you need to go to full-screen checkbox by the right-side's blue-sliding bar (F11 doesn't work for me).
Only in that full-screen mode, WIN-key + something is not occupied by the Windows OS.
Go Full-Screen first
In order to use all shortcut keys, you need to go full screen from the Windows PC that is accessing the Mac. This option can be found in the side menu on the right.
Then use the ⊞ Win key for all the ⌘ Cmd key shortcut keys on Mac
