Key board Caps Lock

I can't get my caps lock to function. It will auto caps lock at the begining of each line and after a period. I can cap a letter but I double click and it wont turn blue and lock the cap on. Any ideas???

Caps lock plus a few more goodies...
Keyboard:
Turn Auto-Capitalization on or off: Choose General > Keyboard and turn Auto-
Capitalization on or off.
By default, iPhone automatically capitalizes words after you type sentence-ending
punctuation or a return character.
Set whether caps lock is enabled: Choose General > Keyboard and turn Enable Caps
Lock on or off.
If caps lock is enabled and you double-tap the Shift key on the keyboard, all letters
you type are uppercase. The Shift key turns blue when caps lock is on.
Turn the ”.” shortcut on or off: Choose General > Keyboard and turn ”.” Shortcut on or
off.
The ”.” shortcut lets you double-tap the space bar to enter a period followed by a space
when you’re typing. It is on by default.

Letter keys and Caps lock not responding

So, I've run into a very odd problem several times now, and I was wondering if anyone had encountered anything like it. Basically, the computer stops responding to the letter keys and cap lock will no longer turn on (light doesn't even turn on), but the arrow keys, command, and tab still work. The only way I have found to make the keys respond again is to reboot.
This has so far occured at two different occasions: Once, while using Blender 2.49b, and several times while playing the game "Warcraft 3: the Frozen throne." The only similarity I noticed between them is that they both fill the entire screen. The problem has not occurred anywhere else, although it persists after quitting the application.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I have been researching a lot on the internet re: 10.6.7 macbook's built-in keyboard's arrow keys are not responding! Been doing it for more than a month. I even saw a HARDWARE Troubleshooting at Youtube, by taking out the battery and tighten some screws for the keyboard, that people do by themselves and most of them say they get it fixed. Since I AM NOT techy I still tried to search for more resolutions at least before I spend money to bring my Macbook to a repair store! And finally! Thank God!!!! THIS RESOLUTION JUST FIXED MY PROBLEM w/o having to TECHNICALLY open my Macbook, take the battery out and screw harder some screws inside the laptop! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS RESOLUTION! ^_^

Control Key activates Caps Lock in wmii-3.5

I have an odd situation occur only when using wmii-3.5. Whenever I press the Control key, the Caps Lock Key is toggled. I'm using the wmiirc file that ships with the wmii package and have not made any changes to it. I don't have this problem in fluxbox or xfce. I looked at the wmiirc and there doesn't seem to be any config there that would lead to this. Any ideas?
Thanks!

The wiki page for wmii says to put 'setxkbmap -option ctrl:swapcaps' in your .xinitrc which will swap the ctrl and caps lock keys. Remove that line and restart X.

Using caps lock key as caps lock and control key

I'd like to use the caps lock key as caps lock and control key. While I can convert the caps lock to control key very easily, there seems no way to make it both caps lock and control. Is there any way to do this? I use emacs and it'd be really useful to be able to do this.
Thanks.

Finally found something that worked for me. See this thread and look for the post about removing the Hitoolbox plist files.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10765093&#10765093
I removed all of them. (Had multiples) Also make sure you empty the trash afterwards.
Then restart.
Then I used the modifier key trick in this thread. Turned off the caps lock key. Then restart.
Then use the modifier key trick and turn the caps lock key back on. Test to see if your lights come back on for the caps lock key.
If so, next time you restart it should still work. Finally. This thing has been dogging me for a long time.

Numeric Keys and Caps lock

anyone please help-- i am trying to use my MAC AIR but my number keys do not work and the letter keys all are appearing as upper case, regardless of whether the caps lock is on or not. Went to Systgem preferences and the mouse key is off. can't think of any way to change this, any ideas? Fn key doesn't work either.

*There is a chance that you have a Universal Access feature that needs to be turned off.* I run Tiger on an Ibook G4, but I too just ran into your problem. I resolved it by going to System Preferences, then selecting Universal Access, clicking on Mouse & Trackpad, then noticing that there is an option that changes my laptop numeric keypad into a mouse key.
Well, I pressed the option key five times and now my laptop's numeric keypad works once again.
I am not sure how I disabled it initially as it is unusual for me to hit the option key five times in a row, but evidently somehow I did.

Is it possible to lock out the Key Board commands in Keynote?

Is it possible to lock out your key board actions in Keynote? This happened all of a sudden. My keyboard has no effect on my trying to change text colors or enter characters. By using the mouse to add text the text box appears but I cannot change the character color.I can change it with the mouse and the new color is displayed but when I type nothing appears as the default color is white and the background is white. I did a copy and paste from a previous slide and I can enter the line to start editing but nothing appears. Nor can I delete anything with the Key board. This is only happening in Keynote. If I use the Key Board to send an email everything works fine. Can type and use the delete button so it seems that the Key Board is fine with other Apps, this is just happening in Keynote. It seems like the Key Board actions are not taking place, it is as if the Key Board is locked out of the Keynote functions.
Thanks in advance for any help

Try resetting Keynote as follows:
remove Keynote version 6.5, you must use an application removal tool for this procedure to work: Appcleaner is free, I use Appzapper
empty the trash
Shut Down the Mac (Apple menu > Shut Down)
wait 10 seconds, then press the power button
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key, release the Shift key when you see the grey Apple screen
start up will take a few minutes longer than usual as the Mac is performing a repair routine
restart the Mac normally, (don’t hold down any keys during startup)
install Keynote from the Mac App Store

Caps Lock LED incorrect when changing modifier keys

Hello,
I remapped Caps Lock and Ctrl keys via keyboard settings (they're now flipped). Unfortunately the Caps Lock LED is still being activated by the "old" Caps Lock key (which is now the Ctrl key). This means that whenever I hit Ctrl (using the Caps Lock key) the Caps Lock LED changes its status.
This is rather annoying as it ends up being in random state and tells me nothing about the actual Caps Lock status. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks!

Hello:
I suggest you call Applecare with a warranty issue. The KB has a one year Apple warranty. I would not waste any more time trying additional things. You have already tried everything I would suggest.

Caps lock key has jab prevention even when set to control

I use the feature in the System Preferences to change the modifier key for caps lock to be control -- it's something I've done for years.
On my new apple keyboard the button fails to engage if I type too quickly (which is the point of mapping it to control in the first place).
How can I turn this feature off (as it is clearly broken since it still has caps lock protection when not in caps lock mode)? If it can't be turned off, then I most certainly need to return this keyboard.
Can we get an official Apple line on this? Has anyone gotten the spiel from customer service?

My problem with the Bluetooth Mighty mouse is that sometimes when click on an object, nothing happens. I can only move the cursor on the screen but clicking doesn't work. So I have to turn off the mouse for 20 sec and after I switched it back and it works. What I also notest is when I move an object on the screen with the mouse it goed not as smooth as with my wired one.

The caps lock and p key does not work

All of a sudden my "p" key and "caps Lock" key are not working. tried pram and smc resets but does not help. Want to know if it is a hard ware or a software issue. Im using a a MAC Book Pro that i bought ony 15 days back

First assumption: its faulty wiring, judging by this being your first post, im guessing its a new mac? Id call apple or replace it at the store you got it from if you didnt buy through online or applestore.

10.10.3 caps lock and tab key problems

Since I upgraded to 10.10.3 I've had no tab key or caps lock. No one else has written about this. Am I the only one having these problems?
I guess I will take the keyboard home to try with a different Mac.

Hi venustas,
It sounds like you updated your computer and now 2 keys do not appear to be working. You should use this section of the following article to troubleshoot that:
OS X Yosemite: If keys on your keyboard don’t work
If other keys don’t work
You may have accidentally set an option that changes how your keyboard operates.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Dictation & Speech, then click Text to Speech. If “Speak selected text when the key is pressed” is selected, deselect it or click Change Key to select another key.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Keyboard. Make sure Slow Keys is turned off. If Slow Keys is on, you must hold down a key longer than usual before it’s recognized.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Mouse & Trackpad. Make sure Mouse Keys is off. If Mouse Keys is on, pressing keys in the numeric keypad moves the pointer instead of entering numbers.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard, then click Input Sources. Select “Show Input menu in menu bar.” Open the Input menu, then make sure the correct keyboard layout is selected.
To see the keyboard layout, click Keyboard, then choose “Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar.”
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Lion - num lock and caps lock keys problem

Since installing lion I have to have num lock key and caps lock key turned on to type normally (otherwise I get all numbers if num lock off, or all caps if cap lock off). It's like the keys' functions have been reversed. (2.16 GHz MacBook).
Any help much appreciated.

Turn of the Cap Lock?

My text tool only allows all capital letters. How do I turn of the Cap Lock?

Your keyboard must have a key called: Caps Lock
This is normally above the shift key.
It is a toggle key so press once to turn it on; Press again to turn it OFF; You get the idea.

Disabling the caps lock delay on the aluminum keyboard

Is there any way of turning off the accidental caps-lock press prevention on the new Apple keyboards? (http://www.tuaw.com/2007/10/07/new-apple-keyboard-has-protection-against-acciden tal-caps-lock/)
I use my caps lock key as Control (SysPrefs -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard -> Modified Keys), and the bounce protection cause me no end of trouble - it is still enabled, though I am not using that key for caps lock.
I called Apple support, and they told me to return the keyboard. I do not think this will make a difference, but maybe a Genius can help me out.

Thanks for your suggestion Tom, but that's not really what we're trying to do.
On early keyboards (when I started typing on computer terminals (in the 70s/80s, yes, before personal computers, the Control key was the key to the left of "A". That was great for programmers since lots of things used Control (shell, Emacs, etc). At some point, the Powers That Be (TM) decided that Caps Lock belonged to the left of the "A" key, so people like me spent their time either hoarding the old-style keyboards or finding ways of putting Control 'back where it should be'.
So disabling Caps Lock altogether does not achieve this goal. And until the Aluminum keyboard, ALL other Apple keyboards have worked fine under OSX using the Keyboard Modifier Key swap to simply make Caps Lock be Control. This Aluminum keyboard still makes the switch and works, but at the cost of having to hold the key longer as if it still were the Caps Lock key. Many typists may not even notice this difference, but to a touch-typist, the key seems simply not to work at all.

Xmodmap, Caps Lock and XF86Calculator

I want to do something as simple as remapping XF86Calculator to Caps Lock. Easy peasy with xmodmap:
xmodmap -e 'clear Lock'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 148 = Caps_Lock'
xmodmap -e 'add Lock = Caps_Lock'
But life isn't supposed to be easy. 1. The new caps lock doesn't toggle the led on the keyboard. 2. When caps is switched on, the first letter is still typed in lower case. The rest are upper case, as expected. (The reverse doesn't happen - when caps is switched off, the first letter is also lower case).
Remapping other keys to Caps Lock, e.g. F12, works without any problems.
Surly it isn't a big problem and I could easily live without Caps Lock. However, it's annoying when something doesn't work as expected. I have no idea where I should start looking, so any help is appreciated.
My system is up to date, and I use hotplugging with Xorg (evdev).

Hi,
nswint, it seems that we have to do as you described.
Corey, I have the remote desktop client installed on a iPad Air, I can input capital letters via the on-screen keyboard within the remote desktop session that we can activate by a tap on the keyboard icon in the connection bar.
Thanks.

Caps lock with number not working for main password

hello when I start my macbook pro I have a login with numbers in it so I use the caps lock to write it but it doesn't work I have to use shift instead!!! when I use the caps lock for writing mail or anything numbers work fine with it!!! Anyone have an idea??
thk sam

If you used the Shift key to originally enter your password with the number keys the Caps Lock key does NOT do the same thing as Shift for the number keys.
This is Shift and numbers,
#^*)$@&
This is Caps LOCK WITH NUMBER KEYS,
1234455667788999
As you see the Caps Lock only works for typing LETTERS Not Numbers or any other symbol found on the keyboard.
To be able to use all the upper case symbols you need to use the Shift key.><?":{}+_)(*&^%$#@!~
Even if the CAPS LOCK IS ON. ,./';\][=-0987654321`
