Home/End Keys don't work

Hi, all,
I've started having a problem with my home and end keys... they just don't do anything at all. Another user works fine, but my main account doesn't like them for whatever reason. Any idea what I can do to troubleshoot this?

Actually, to take the Top Case off is a breeze compared to older models. Its only some phillips head screws and it pops off with only one cable going from the top case to the logic board. You can probably pick one up on eBay or something for 50-80 bucks. Anyone who has taken apart both an iBook and a MB would probably agree with me that the disassembly of the MBs are by far and away easier. I paid about 60 with shipping for a new one.

  • Home/End keys do not work in FCE4

    I'm on an Intel iMac with the iMac keyboard with numeric keypad, so I have dedicated Home and End keys, not the Fn keys. The keys work in other applications (such as this text box) but have no effect in FCE at all. Other keys, like alt-R to render and J, K, and L all work, just not Home and End ... so far.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Tubbs

    So I've done a lot of searching and found that people in other countries seem to have this issue a lot with FCP, but I find no mention of it with FCE. I'm in the US, btw, with US settings. In their cases the work around is to go into System Preferences->International and change the language to English before they launch FCP.
    I tinkered with that and never could get it to work.
    However, what I did find is that I apparently do have some sort foreign keyboard setting somewhere, because I appear to have some foreign mappings. My home and end key functionality is available as ctrl-home and ctrl-end. Further, zooming on the timeline does not work with the + and - keys unless I also hold command when I hit them. Weird.
    I'd still love a legitimate solution if anyone can figure it out.

  • Arrows /home/end keys don't scroll

    As said barmalutka at this post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2888131&#2888131
    the problem is Acid Search, but I love this plugin, and have tried to deactivate the "find as you tipe" option, and the problem goes!
    No more problems, and AcidSearch runing

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Strange. I use AcidSearch and my scroll arrows on my G4 iBook work as intended for page scrolling (I'm traveling, so I don't have access to my G5 iMac/Keyboard.) I'm wondering if the problem is specific to Intel machines, since you and the referenced thread are both using this type of machine?
    In my AcidSearch options, only the "enabled" box is selected in the "Find as you type" section.

  • Keyboard arrows, Home, End keys

    In a edit box, such as a search box, my keyboard arrows, Home, End keys do not work since I upgraded to FireFox 8

    ''my keyboard arrows, Home, End keys do not work...''
    That problem is caused by "caret cursor" and the way that Mozilla works with it. Press "F7" reply "No" to turn if off. F7 toggles the setting and you may or may not see the warning but if you do see "No" that would mean you have it on and "No" would turn it off. For a more complete resolution see

    See how you do with Adobe PDF files after fixing the above. You can have PDF files open by default without Firefox involved except to download them, but I expect you chose to view in your browser. You have a lot more control of reading PDF files outside of Firefox. The plug-in is what allows you to open them in a browser.

  • [Solved]Keyboard layout screwed up and some keys don't work

    After I reinstalled xorg-server 1.5.3-1 and installed xf86-input-evdev 2.0.1-1 and xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.1-1 some of my keys don't work and keyboard layout screwed up. I had finnish (fi) layout, but now it's "us". Arrows, insert- delete- home- end- pg up- pg down- print screen- scroll lock- pause- keys don't work. All characters behind Alt Gr + "" don't work either.
    How to fix this?

  • HOME & END KEY NOT FUNCTIONING IN FCP w MBP

    My home and end key do not work on my MacBook Pro. However, on an extended keyboard on a G5 those keys transport you to the beginning and end of the timeline. Is there a way I can get them to work on my laptop? Thanks!
    MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1G RAM, 500G LaCie HD

    Isn't that because those keys don't exist on the laptop?
    You can map those commands to any key you want. They keyboard layout is completely customizable. TOOLS>KEYBOARD LAYOUT>CUSTOMIZE.

  • FCE & MBP Where's the home/end keys?

    Hi
    Got my new MBP and FCE installed. Going through COD's Training DVD, Tom mentions the "home" key. Come to think of it there isn't one on my MBP keyboard.
    I tried CMD + L arrow but that doesn't work. The up/down arrow keys will moce the scrub bar but only to the next clip, so to get it back to the beginning or end of the video, I have to keep hitting the L/R Arrow keys.
    Isn't there a keyboard command to equal the home/end keys?
    Thanks
    Allen

    It appears there may not be one. Take a look at this correspondence:-

  • Keys don't work with firefox 5.0

    I uploaded Firefox 5.0 and now the Home, End, Page Dn/Up keys don't work! I need these on eBay. The arrow keys now send you all the way to the top or bottom of the page with no stops in between. I really hate it when you guys change things; there was nothing wrong with the previous version. Now I have to use Internet Explorer. Boo.

    No but what I have is on my this page at the top. (see profile for more pages)

  • Arrows and page up/down keys don't work (also not in previous version)

    Arrow and page up/down keys don't work. Problem started a fe2w months ago; upgraded to Beta but it made no difference. Sorry to report that they work fine in Internet Explorer but i DO NOT want to switch. Thanks!

    IU'm curious if this is a 'getting used to Macs' issue;
    I'm on my first Mac [and OS X] as well, and to
    me tthese friggin keys "don't work" either.
    That is, they do not do anything useful, like
    go to the start or end of a text field. The
    keys do function, though. Home goes to the start
    of a document, and end goes to the end. Seems
    silly to me; how often do you go to the start
    or end of a document, versus the start or end
    of a line? Two points off your usability rating,
    Apple
    Anyways, if this [the keys doing different things
    under Mac] is the issue, see if Apple-Left Arrow
    and Apple-Right Arrow do what you're expecting
    Home and End to do.

  • How to Use Home+End Key on new short usb apple keyboard on XP

    How to Use Home+End Key on new short usb apple keyboard on XP
    now i use macbook and new short apple keyboard.
    it hasn't Home and End key. i try to use Fn + -> , Fn + <-
    it cann't do that. How can i set the Fn + <- be Home key
    and Fn + -> be End key like on my macbook keyboard
    thank you for answer

    Easy, no need to be harsh. I might not be a Level 9  Discussions user, but I’ve been an Apple Technician for more than a decade now. So believe me, I know what I’m talking about. Be it OS X Server or emptying the Trash. But even I come here from time to time to learn from others. Well, back to topic and being a little more specific:
    The 'My Info' setting always belongs to the first iCloud account you add to an iOS device. In this account you create at least 1 contact, the one you will be using for 'My Info'. You then do the same on your other iOS device using NOT the same iCloud account, of course. You only need to enable contacts syncing in iCloud preferences for these primary accounts. From here on you can use differing 'My Info' on your 2 iOS devices without a problem.
    But you may know that you can use more than one iCloud account at a time. Only the primary one will offer all iCloud options like Photostream. But what they all offer is contacts, calendars, etc. So if you intend (and I did) to share these 2 between your devices you can add them using a second iCloud account to both of your iOS devices. This makes it 3 accounts all in all. You could even go further and add another one just for 'Find my iPhone' if you like.
    I would’ve used the built-in sharing of Calendar.app instead, but Contacts.app does not (yet) offer sharing contacts with others. That’s why I went with the third iCloud account as a secondary account to both iOS devices.
    Apple of course recommends using just one Apple ID for everything to make it easier. But in some scenarios this just won’t cut it, which is even described in one of their support documents.
    I hope that now you have an idea what I’ve done…
    Good night
    Björn
    PS: It would be nice if people did not insist on being right. They too can sometimes learn something!

  • Some keys don't work in combination with Shift

    Okay  so I have the Pavilion Sleekbook  15-b011nr 
    Serial Number:   [Personal Information Removed]
    Product Number:   C6N92UA
    and today I noticed certain keys don't work in combination with the left Shift for example, Shift+S (both left and right), Shift+M, Shift+Z, Shift +X, Shift+C don't work, shift+F does work but gives me this FV. same with j it gives me JM instead. I installed an updated bios, ran a diagnostic test using F2 and under the compenant test for the keyboard it failed and gave me this
    keyboard test failed
    failure Id # U375BD-6m96P5-MFPX1F-G03B03 
    product id # C6N92Ua#aba
    now while trying to type all this I found other letters now working as well as me not being able to input the semicolon with either shift key. frustrating since I got this laptop in June so it's still under warranty. Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so how do i fix mine? I'm pretty tech savvy so feel free to let me know, or is my only option is a replacement from HP?
    Thanks!

  • Some of my keys don't work and now I can't login

    Yesterday I accidentally spilled some liquid on my keyboard. A vey small amount and generally my computer is fine. I used q tips and paper towels to clean under the keys as best I could, turned it off, and put it in rice. unfortunately a few of my keys don't work--u i j k " : m < . The rest of the keyboard is fine and when I checked my laptop was still working fine. I"ll buy condensed air, and then pop off the keys and clean it if necessary. But I figured even if it didn't fix the problem I'm not buying a new laptop right now so I would just work around the missing keys. But I decided to restart my laptop and now I'm stuck on the login screen bc my password requires some of those keys. I was hoping to use my appleId to get in but I'm never prompted for it after entering wrong passwords. I was going to create a new user and bypass the password but the commands to do that also require those keys. I don't have access to my
    installation discs.
    Other options?
