Keyboard shortcuts... cum pad doesn't work like it should

hello.
i'm on osx using indesign cs4.
in indesign all the shortcuts involving numbers like fit spread to window, etc do not work. i can assign shortcuts to the numb keys but no modifiers. but also when i enter the key instead of "1" showing up, it says "Num 1". illustrator and photoshop work as expected, but not indesign. this has been an issue since i maybe cs2, i just never bothered to inquire about it. several years later, different computer different version and i'm still having the same issue.
if anyone can help, i highly appreciate it.
thanks

In ID the keys on the number pad are reserved for style shortcuts. You must use the numbers on the top row of the qwerty pad for everything else.

  • Apple Keyboard with number pad doesn't work with Mac Pro?

    I have a Mac Pro, and have used an Apple Keyboard with a number pad (not bluetooth) with it for quite a while, with no problems. But then my keyboard broke and I ordered a replacement Apple Keyboard with a number pad (not bluetooth). This keyboard doesn't work with my Mac Pro. I have it plugged in, but I can't get the Mac Pro to consistently recognize that there is a USB keyboard connected to it. What magical stuff do I have to do to get the keyboard to be fit for purpose?

    It would not hurt to try an SMC Reset. (But if it does not help, it adds credence to lllaass assertion that the keyboard is not working.)

  • Bluetooth keyboard and magic pad doesn't work after sleep

    This only recently developed, once my 2013 iMac goes into sleep mode, when I tap the keyboard to wake it up to put in my security password, the bluetooth keyboard doesn't work.  Also, the track pad shows no point, i.e. I have a sign in screen, but can't sign it.

    Besweet, I'm having the very same problem with 60GB colour which was bought new and worked for 6 months before suddenly just not being recognised by PC. I hadn't changed anything at all.
    I've followed all troubleshooting advice and reinstalled and updated iTunes and iPod updater software but all troubleshooting routes seem to hit the dead end of either the need to access the iPod via the PC (which isn't possible as it's not showing up at all) or the iPod in disc mode stuck at "ok to disconnect".
    It's still under 1yr warranty so will have to take to a dealer.
    I'm sorry that's not much help for you but at least you know it's not a unique problem.

  • HT204088 If I buy an app, and it doesn't work like its suppose to, can I get a refund, ?

    If I buy an app that doesn't work like it is suppose to, can I get the $6.99 refunded back to my iTunes account ?

    If you've tried contacting the developer and not had a response then you can try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and click the arrow to the left of it, click the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • Since updating to firefox 9 my scroll feature on my touch pad doesn't work - help, please and thank you!

    since updating to firefox 09 my scroll feature on my touch pad doesn't work. How do I fix this, please? I have a Gateway laptop. This has never happened before with other updates.
    Thanks so much!!

    Thank you so much for your link - unfortunately it is totally beyond my skills to understand or correct the bug as posted. I can find the touchpad icon and right click to open the options and that's about my speed. If this is a bug should I uninstall Firefox 9? Thanks so much...

  • Keyboard and Mouse pad don't work.

    Can anyone help me? I figured I should come here before bringing it to a shop.
    I have upgarded my ram from 2gigs to 4gigs with Crucial ram.
    Though regardless if I have the new ram or old ram in, my keyboard and mouse pad don't work. There were occasions before when the keyboard would lock up for a short while, but I have no idea what's causing this.
    My only thought would be that sometimes my computer would get unusually hot, but i just turn it off when that happens.
    Everything else works fine, the USB ports work with keyboards and mouse's, the power chord works fine, there seems nothing wrong with the battery or display.
    Thanks you for any help.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Has your keyboard and mouse quit working altogether or just when the computer is hot? And do I understand that an external keyboard and mouse will work with no problems?
    And I am wondering about your computer running unusually hot. Are your fans operating properly? You might want to run the extended version of the Apple Hardware test to be sure that the fans and thermal sensors are working properly. If they are not, you will get one or more error codes.
    Another thing to do to check when your Mac is unusually hot is the Activity Monitor. Select "All Processes" at the top right and check for any process running that should not be which is using lots of CPU.
    I don't know if the keyboard problem is related to the heat problem or not, but I would want to know what is causing the heat problem too. Over time, excessive heat can cause damage to the logic board. It could also conceivably damage the ribbon cable which connects the keyboard and I would guess that the trackpad could also be affected. So it is important to see what is going on here. If you have been experiencing excessive heat on a regular basis, this might be the underlying cause of your keyboard and trackpad problems. If so, the heat problem will have to be fixed or the other problem will recur over time.
    Try the AHT and post back with any results. Also, use iStatPro to check on your fans and make sure both are running at roughly equal speeds and that they run faster when the computer gets hot.
    Good luck!

  • My Hp Pavllion dv7 keyboard and touch pad will not work

    Hi. My Hp Pavllion dv7 keyboard and touch pad will not work. Been going on for a few months now. Read in the support forum that replacing the battery might help however it hasnt. Ran updates for Windows Vista and Microsoft Security Ess. Boots up just fine however unable to place in my password to get to my user profile and always have to work from guest......unless I have a USB keyboard handly at the time. I use a USB wireless mouse as well.
    Please help and thank you

    The keyboard and mouse (touchpad) are separate devices which could go bad at the same time but that would be a huge coincidence. I would try reseating the ribbon cables to the motherboard for both. Here is the Service Manual:

    That's where I would begin, too, with

    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
    First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

  • ITunes Wi-fi sync not working like it should.

    So I got a new ipod touch 4th generation because my other one broke. I'm trying to set up wifi sync so I don't have to connect the device to the computer incase it malfunctions. Half the time it doesn't work, and if it does work, I still have to connect it directly to the computer. Sometimes I use wifi sync the first time and it doesn't work, then I plug it into my computer and it detects it. Then I unplug it and use wifi sync and it works like it should. So it kind of defeats the purpose of using wifi sync if everytime I want to sync content through wifi, I'm forced to connect the ipod to the computer. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Please Help!
    Also, my Ipod is not even a month old and is working like new. It is refurbished.

  • Cursor  doesn't work as it should

    When I scroll or simply move the cursor it just doesn't want to listen to me most of the time. It jumps a little when  I'm not anywhere near the trackpad, it jumps, doesn't move, moves slowly and jagged movements. all randomly happens at random times.
    I've done all the 3 steps suggested  through  "trouble shooting" ( I forget what it was called) here on the site with no luck.
    I have a feeling it is not a hardware problem as sometimes when I wisit certain websites it can get worse.
    But then again sometimes it's totally unaffected and works like it should.
    I don't know if this is related, but after 3 days with this annoyance, Finder keeps asking me for a password to make changes when I log on. I haven't done anything but to log on to provoke it.
    I do have firevault on if it has any relevance to either issue.
    Thanks for any guidance!

    That was my first thought. I even put off the shield which I had stucked on to protect the iPod from dirt and scratches. But it stays the same.
    But I deleted some apps which I had installed yesterday a few minutes ago, maybe it will work now... Hopefully...
