Keyboard/ten key number lock

I just purchased a TrackPoint keyboard (55Y9053) and Ten Key (41A5090). When I plug the two into my computer the ten key number lock, locks the number pad on the TrackPoint keyboard. So when I go to type on my keyboard, letter keys I,o,p,j,k,l,n,m,, come out as numbers. Is there a way to get these to products to work together without the number lock from one affecting the number lock on the other? Thanks.

Hi, Rachel, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
A Num Lock light that stays lit is sometimes a symptom of a deeper problem. Try resetting your Powerbook's Power Management Unit. Does that help? If not, run the Apple Hardware Test from your Powerbook's original Install & Restore DVD, and let us know what AHT reports.

Hello Momma4952
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that some keys on your computer keyboard have stopped working. I will do my best to help you out! First, please provide the following information:
1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your product number
2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
3. Have you installed any new hardware on this computer, before the issue appeared?
4. Have you installed any new software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?
I would also like you to attempt the following test: Connect an external keyboard to the computer and see if the keys on that keyboard work. If the keys do not work, then we are absolutely certain there is a software/driver conflict. Otherwise, there is the potential of a hardware failure.
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Ten key not working with wireless keyboard

Hello everybody,
Does anybody know how to configure the wireless keyboard, so the ten keys will work?? It frezzes my laptop everytime I active any of the these keys...
Thanks!
Enriqueta.

what kind of keyboard, Apple brand or some other?
also what are "ten keys" - function keys, number keys?
usually no configuration should be required once the keyboard is recognized,
keyboard is not supposed to cause your system to freeze.

Apple Keyboard number lock issue

I have my apple keyboard plugged into a IOGEAR device that allows me to double click on the "control" key and switch the keyboard, mouse and montor from my MacBookPro to my Vista PC. All works well except the keyboard numbers pad. When I'm on the MacBookPro the number pad works for numbers and when I'm on the PC it seems to need the num lock key on. I can't find the num lock key. What key should I use?
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.9) Number Lock Key

Hi, sandyman444 -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
On my keyboard the Number Lock function is shown as being on the Clear key, the key immediately above the 7 on the keypad. Shift-Clear, Option-Clear, or Shift-Option-Clear may enable that (Option = Alt).

Number lock on keyboard

Mac Book, Mac Book Pro have a number lock for entering numerical data. I have not found this feature on Air, nor the numbers on the keyboard as on the other laptops. Does air have this capability?

Nor do any of the new MacBooks/Pro's! The newer MacBook keyboards with the exchanged set of function keys all do not have the numbers lock

Number lock key (F6) won't unlock

I don't remember pressing this key down, but it is locked and the green light is on...and I can't unlock it no matter how many times I push it or hold it down. So, the keyboard will only type numbers right now
I tried rebooting, but it didn't reset.
I also tried going to preferences and resetting the keyboard to default, but that didn't work either.
This is basically the first problem I've had with the computer in 3.5 years.
Any suggestions on how to 'unlock' the number lock?

Number Lock (Num lock) on new Aluminum Keyboards

Anyone know how to enable Number Lock on the new aluminum keyboards? This is usually not an issue with Macs (as by default num-lock is assumed on), but I use remote desktop to control a Windows server and I can not use my number pad because you would normally need to engage num lock to be able to do this on Windows.
On my old Apple keyboard there was an actual Num Lock button (shared function with the Clear button).
Any ideas?
hank you.

Same here, have you figured out a solution?
The iMac aluminum keyboard has no designated key, and the Leopard solutions do not work.

Number lock - ThinkPad USB keyboard and USB numeric keypad- they're not independent

Because Lenovo has discontinued my favorite keyboard ever, the USB ThinkPad with Ultra Nav full size keyboard with number pad, I bought a keyboard and numeric pad separately. I ended up with the 55Y9003 ThinkPad USB Keyboard with Track Point and the 33L3225 numeric keypad. That gives me the full solution, a good keyboard with a numeric keypad. Well, almost.
The issue I'm having is that the number lock on the main keyboard (turns the "uio", "jkl" and other keys into a number pad) controls the number lock on the separate keypad, and vice versa. What I want is for the numeric keypad to always be set for numbers and my main keyboard to always be set for letters. Instead, what I have is both are set for numbers or not, together. This of course defeats the main point of having a separate keypad for the numbers.
Is there a setting somewhere to fix this? I'm running Windows XP Professional on an HP Compaq desktop computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I have the same problem. Would be interested to hear of any solutions as well.

I use a French bluetooth keyboard how do i lock the numbers for doing calculations? Does anybody know? i.e. the numbers are above the top row of keys and you have to use the shift key to access them. You can't use the cap lock key to lock the numbers.

Try the clear button above the keypad.

Can't use my ten key pad on my Mac keyboard when I am in VMWare which is where all my financial systems are.

I recently moved from the PC to the MAC world. Most of my work is accounting and financial so I purchased the keyboard for the Mac that has the ten key pad. It works great when I am in the Mac environment. When I am in VMWare, which is where all my work is, the ten key pad doesn't work. I keep looking for a setting or something but I am unable to make it work. If I can't get this resolved I will have to go back to the PC. Any ideas?

There is a difference between the passcode and the sync key.<br />
The passcode allows to setup all sync parameters with a single code on other devices.<br />
To enter the sync key (and user name and password) you need to click on "I don't have the device with me" at the bottom of the "Add a Device" window (Click Connect).

Hi Moe,
Sounds mostly likje a bad KB, do you have another to test with?
Or...
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Is there a way to 'number lock', the keyboard

When entering numerical characters, if you use the spacebar, the keyboard reverts back to the letter character set. Is there a way to number lock the keyboard to stop this happening?
If not, it may be a consideration for a future update.
