Page Up and Page Down keys don't work Apple Aluminum Wired Keyboard MB110LL/A

I have a keyboard with page up and page down keys (along with home, end and arrow keys). These keys don't do nothing.
How can I enable the use of such keys?

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.

Down arrow and contrast down keys no longer work properly

I've had this problem with my Yoga 2 Pro for a while now, and it's really frustrating. My down arrow key and brightness down key don't always work. Sometimes they both work fine; that's ok. However, sometimes both of them will simultaneously stop working for a while, and then out of the blue resume working just fine. It always happens as a pair; either they both work or they both don't. I'm running Windows 8.1 with all the latest drivers and BIOS. A support rep told me this was a Windows 8.1 problem; I don't quite buy that. Does anyone know what's causing this or how I can fix it? Thank you.

Ah, the joy of working with computers...:( Apparently, from my woes with the same problem, the Apple Keyboard Manager is rightfully entered into the Run directory in the Windows registry at HKLM/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Run.
Why it doesn't start I still have to find out, but this may be because I have Parallels Workstatio installed as well and switch back between a virtualized Windows and a Bootcamp Windows. However, after installing Bootcamp 2.1 first and then SP3 IN THE BOOTCAMP ENVIRONMENT everything seems to work, except the Energy Options taskbar icon and Apple Keyboard Manager.
Will keep you posted on any progress I make.
Apple Support, BTW, was absolutely abysmal, with them even refusing to accept the ticket at all, on the grounds that they have no knowledge about Windows. Apple, get your support fixed!

Apple Aluminum Wired Keyboard: Special Keys Don't Work

The keyboard has function keys that are programmed to perform special operations. The Apple website explicitly states:
“The extended layout has a full complement of keys, including document navigation controls, a numeric keypad, and special function keys for Mac features such as brightness, volume, eject, play/pause, Exposé, and more.”
Unfortunately, two of these keys don’t work, even after a special software update is installed:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/keyboardsoftwareupdate11.html
The manual that comes with the keyboard provides instructions on how to program the keyboard, but those instructions either don’t work or are incorrect.
I've posted more about this and other keyboard issues here:
http://web.mac.com/resourcesforlife/journal/writings/Entries/2007/8/21Apple_Aluminum_WiredKeyboard.html

I am using a PowerMac Dual 2.5 GHz G5 system and had trouble with the F3 and F4 function keys. The various suggestions and instructions as provided on several of the discussion threads didn't work for me.
Here's what worked for me to resolve the problem:
1. Go here and download the Pacifist utility which helps in exploring installation packages:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12743
2. Go here and download the Apple OSX update for PowerPC:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10410comboupdateppc.html
OR... get the version for Intel found here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10410comboupdatev11intel.html
3. Using the Pacifist utility, open the OSX Update dmg file you just downloaded. You will be able to navigate to /System/Library/Core Services. Click on Dock.app and click the install button. When it's uncompressed, it will ask if you would like to update or replace. Click replace. There is an option to repeat this response for all files. Complete the process and then exit the Pacifist utility program.
4. Go here and download the Apple Keyboard Software Update:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/keyboardsoftwareup date11.html
5. Install the Keyboard update and all functions should automatically work.
If the above steps resolve the problem for you, please click on the "Solved" button above. Thanks.

Page up & page down keys don't work in Preview

why don't the Page Up and Page Down keys on an extended (Apple) keyboard work in Preview? very annoying. only the up-down arrows seem to work, and only one line at a time. i'd like to jump whole pages, or something close to that. if anyone knows a keyboard shortcut please let me know. i've tried the usual suspects.. shift-up/down arrow seems to maybe jump a few lines at a time, but not enough.
macbook pro 15, os x 10.7.5, preview 5.5.3.

Even the menu item for Go | Down doesn't work.
Page up works for me, though.
Weird.

Left and right arrow keys don't work

My right and left arrow keys do not work, up and down arrows work fine. I did not spill anything on or near my keyboard. I don't recall adding any apps/software. It is a late 2008 MacBook Pro running OS X10.9.1. I am at a loss. Please help.
Thanks,
David

Call 1-800-SOS-APPL. If it needs hardware repair, they will send you a box to ship it in for service. Turnaround time is usually just a few days.
You might try an Archive and Install first to eliminate a software issue. Apple will have you do that anyway.

Next / Previous media keys don't work on 3rd Party Keyboard, Play/Pause does work. [MAC]

Hello!
So I am using a Logitech G710+ keyboard with my Mac (running 10.9) , and the media keys (Play/Pause, Stop, Next and Previous) work perfectly fine with iTunes, even in background.
Now, when I use Spotify, I usually quit iTunes (to stop conflicts), but only the Play/Pause key seems to work.
It does work in the background, which is good, but crucially the Next / Previous keys don't work at all.
Any ideas?

So I have the exact same issue as everyone else here. I have a Logitech K750 wireless keyboard running Yosemite on my MBP. I don't necissarily think this issue resides with Spotify, but instead with Logitech. If I use the media keys on my MBP I am capable of using Next/Previous even when Spotify is in the background. On the wireless keyboard only Play/Pause and the Volume buttons work. I think the issue is with the key mapping with the Logitech. Then again, I don't know how the code is written. Maybe Spotify missed an alternative key map for the media buttons. I didn't write the code.... The logitech forum is a ghost town for this issue though. Only post I found was 5 years old. EDIT: With further reasearch I DO believe the problem lies with Spotify. A tech for Logitech explained to me that Spotify wrote some "interesting" code for the keymap functionality for its Mac client. A quick Google search shows that it is not only Logitechs experiencing this issue. It would be great if we could get someone to look into this. It isn't critical, but it sure would be nice to get fixed.

I am running SSH in Terminal window and my function keys don't work.

Hi all,
The company I am working in is using mainly Windows and they are running a database on Putty.exe
I managed to set up the SSH in Terminal on Mac OSX and I can see the database well and fine. Certain "commands" within the database are executed by numbers 1, 2, 3 etc while other "commands" are executed by function keys F1, F2 - F16 etc. However, when I press the F1 - F12 keys on my keyboard, they don't work as expected.
If any one has any expert advice, I would greatly appreciate it, thanks!

FInd out from your database administrator what terminal type the database application supports. Examples of terminal types are vt100 and ansi. Now go back to the Mac's Terminal Preferences and set the terminal to the matching type.

I had a problem with my mouse double(multiple) clicking when I didn't want it to, now pressing enter in a window like this will close the current window and open one of my Taboo sites, and the cursor keys don't work.

This happens in any text entry window, but there is no problem with Wordpad or Word or other apps, just in Firefox. It's like the keyboard mapping has gotten fouled up in Firefox, but I can't find where I might check what is going on.

You may have '''Switched ON Caret Browsing'''. press '''F7 (on Mac: fn + F7)''' to toggle '''Caret Browsing ON/OFF'''
* click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Advanced -> General -> remove
Checkmark from '''Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages'''

Pause, back, and fwd (F6-8) keys don't work with iTunes. [Windows 7 64-bit]

All my other F# keys work (I can adjust the screen brightness, adjust the volume...etc) but my Pause (F8), Back (F7) and Fwd (F9) keys don't work with iTunes. Though they DO work with Windows Media Player.
How can I get them to work with iTunes?
I'm using Windows 7 64-bit on a macbook pro.

Same problem here.
I'm using Macbook late '09 + Windows 7 64-bit + iTunes 10.0.1.22 for Windows,
and my media function keys don't work. I don't use Windows Media Player though.

Function keys don't work on New IMac with Leopard.. very sad

We just got a New IMac with Leopard at work and my F Keys don't work at all. I have tried everything, even checking the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys", but it doesn't work at all. I use these keys all the time. How can I fix this?

WebWolf wrote:
My Bad, I am sure I am not the only one that has done this. I had not assigned the F Keys to their function under Exposé, I thought they didn't work after I turned on the F Keys under the Keyboard & Mouse window. So, I thought I would post this to help anyone else that did this.
They now work, yea!!!!
Sometimes we solve our own problems quite well
I believe that Leopard does reset to the default F keys.

Page Up and Page Down keys

I converted a forms 5.0 program to Forms 6.0.
Strangely my PageUp and PageDown keys are not working any more. In forms 5.0, Pageup and Page down keys automatically scroll my records. But in forms 6.0 they do not work.
I tried the ScrDown, SCRUp triggers to associate them to PageUpa and PageDown but it did not work. Can any one suggest me how I can make my PageUp and PageDown keys in forms 6.0?
Thank you and best regards,
null

Now I'm not sure how to isolate problem... I should have done [next tip ahead] before, but thought what I tried before was sufficient.
I opened a long 'text' file in the browser to see how the Page Up, Page Dn & arrow keys would work, and they appear to work fine. But on 'html' pages of popular websites, the keys do not work right. The arrow keys don't work at all sometimes, and the Page Up, Page Dn keys sometimes work in 'semaphore' fashion; that is, pressing Page Up 'once' does nothing, then 2nd time, page moves up; 3rd time, nothing; 4th time, page moves up, etc.
(Note: I also tried changing the 2 'scroll' related settings in Tools>Options>Advanced>General, but those had no effect. I left both 'on".)
[Also, I never use Tab & Ctrl keys for scrolling, and using them now does not affect anything.] This is only about the Page Up Page Dn and arrow keys, which used to work fine pre-8.0.1, and now do not work as expected.

Page Up and Down keys won't work - have tried everything

My Page Up and Down keys won't work. I've tried hitting F7, the Fn key, checked that the "Always use cursor keys to navigate" box is not selected in the Advanced Options tab and made sure that the "Use autoscrolling" tab is selected. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox, tried hitting buttons F1 through to F12 and then checked that accessibility.warn_on_browsewithcaret is set to 'true'.
It also won't work in Internet Explorer - I have no idea what else to try. My Up/Down arrows are working, just not the Page Up/Page Down buttons. Please help, this is driving me nuts. It's only just started happening; I've never had a problem with it before!

What is the value of the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.browsewithcaret accessibility.browsewithcaret] on the about:config page?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

My up and down arrows as well as page up and page down no longer work properly only when using firefox. Page up and down function more like the "home" and "end" keys as do the arrow keys.

Honestly I'm not sure if these began just after I updated FF to the current release, but it's been happening for at least 2 weeks. The arrow keys and page up and page down keys all work as if I'm pressing the 'home' and 'end' keys on my keyboard. This is only when using FF. Please contact me if you need more clarification. Thanks in advance!

Sounds that you have switched on caret browsing.

Page up and page down keyboard commands

I just installed CS4 on my laptop. The page up and page down keyboard shortcuts are not responding. That's a big handicap. I know these are default commands to go to edit points. Do I need to to go somewhere in preferences to check for defualt commands. I have been using earlier versions of CS for some time and I don't remember having to do anything like that previously. It seems logical to me that I must be overlooking something simple. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Thank you Bill. I have tried that about as many ways
as a person can. Its just a dead key response. Since I just started on CS4, I could use some tutorials on this. Do you have any links for free tutorials?
thanks in advance for your help
Judy
