Wireless keyboard, no working caps lock

I just became the proud owner of an iMac. I still need to get used to some things, but the wireless keyboard doesn't give me numerals when caps lock is switched on (the light comes on). I can use numbers by holding down the (single) shift button and capitals are no problem either. It just doesn't seem to work with the numbers... Can someone help me please?

Hello Barry,
The numbers on my alu keyboard don't work when I press caps lock (the little green light comes on, but I can only type capital letters.) So for typing numbers I need to keep the shift button pressed down. I called the helpdesk and they suggested I buy a separate keypad! because this is completely... normal!... I guess I still need to get used to my new computer.

My MacBooks keyboard is stuck on caps lock and when I try to type in numbers it just shows as the symbols above the keys what to do?

So what to do with this keyboard problem

I sent the draft to myself several times. That did not seem to be working, but when I opened Mail this morning, it has been sent all of the times and the Mail screen is no longer frozen.

Wireless keyboard stopped working caps lock light does not come on but on mac mini unable to log in

Any help out there would be appreciated. Never had this problem before until now.. Mac mini was asleep. pressed space bar on keyboard.. machine woke up now i can't type anything. restarted the machine and now i can't log in. can only do it through my mbp with screen sharing.

For troubleshooting and emergency booting where BT may not
work, a wired USB keyboard is recommended, as spare/backup.
A windows keyboard can be OK to use, if you don't have one
and end up borrowing one from a neighbor, see link to compare.
If you are familiar with windows or also use BootCamp, there
is an article about keyboard use and mapping those k/b here:
•BootCamp: About keyboards and key assignment for MS Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5636
I've almost always had at least one extra, new or spare keyboard.
Good luck!

Dv3z black screen with caps lock and numlock led lights flashing

dv3z boot with black screen and (screen) flashes every few seconds, cap and num lock led lights flashes every 2 seonds as well. It boots eventually but takes forever.

Hi,
I your notebook still under warranty? If it is, you will need to contact HP and arrange to have the notebook repaired under warranty.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
If you're out of warranty, I would suggest getting an estimate ( and a confirmation of the diagnosis ) from a local computer repair shop. If the actual processor chip is faulty, this is far easier to replace than say a fault with the graphics chip ( which usually means a new Motherboard ) and so may well be worth the expense.

How do I get my macbook off CAPS lock and safe boot?

My macbook is stuck on caps lock and only comes up on safeboot? what should I do? It was only on sleep and playing music but when I wanted to log back I was unable to do so

Open the terminal app. (Applications => Utilities => Terminal)
Copy and paste the following code.
sudo nvram boot-args=""
then restart your mac.
if you will want to stick with the safe boot again use the following code.
sudo nvram boot-args="-x"

OSD indication for caps lock and num lock on Thinkpad Edge 540

Hello !You may know that the Thinkpad Edge E series have a keyboard lacking the caps lock and num lock leds.On Windows, one can have an OSD display (temporary or permanent) for these two indications.I still need to find something equivalent on Linux.So I ask : Is there a way to have such OSD on Linux ? If not, Mr Lenovo, could you port the Windows OSD on Linux ?Many thanks in advance for your answer.

I use "Keylocks Indicator" in OpenSUSE and Mint installations. Places a tell tale indicator in the system tray as well as provides on screen notification (pop up message). Check it out here... http://www.noobslab.com/2013/10/keylocks-indicator-for-ubuntulinux.html.

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.

My macbook pro is stuck in caps lock, among other problems

my macbook pro (now leopard 10.6) is stuck in caps lock, no matter if the caps lock key is on or if I use shift, and windows close very slowly. I also can't erase the hard drive with my Mac OS X dvd. I can't login because my password requires numbers I can't access due to the caps lock problems, but sometimes it randomly logs me in without asking for my password.

Which version of OS X is running on the machine? When you say that the installation DVD is 'stuck' do you mean physically stuck in the machine and you cannot boot from it?
Unless your running Lion or Mountain Lion, both of which have Recovery partitions, I would think that you're simply 'stuck' if you cannot boot from the DVD. At this point, I would take the machine to an Apple Store or an AASP for a free diagnosis and repair estimate. If it turns out that you've a failed hard drive, of course, you can always replace it yourself.

Pavilion dv4-1275mx notebook - once-flashing leds @ caps lock and scroll keys @ start-up

My HP Pavilion dv4-1275mx notebook runs Windows Vista Home Premium service pack 1 for 64x-based systems.
Recently, when I turn it on, the led lights @ the caps lock and scroll keys repeatedly flash once.
I'm not sure what, if anything, happened prior to this starting. It's possible that there was a power surge when it was shut off, or it may be related to doing a McAfee virus scan or installing the latest version of a software, e.g., Adobe Reader.
I was able to use my System Recovery disks to reinstall the Vista software, thinking this might "kickstart" my computer into working, e.g., as part of the restart process. After the reinstallation, I was able to use my computer, although the led lights continued to flash. However, once I shut down my computer, I have been unable to restart it. The leds continue to flash upon start-up, and I have not been successful in again reinstalling the Vista software. (I thought if could get my computer to work again that way, it might stay accessible if I used hiberate mode instead of shutting it down.)
The computer's about 4-1/2 years old. The screen has a short of some kind (only turning on when the screen is low to the keyboard, so I use an external monitor.

Why does Caps Lock and F keys log me out of websites?

MacBook Air 11" Core i5, OS X 10.7.2, Safari 5.1.2.
Caps Lock and F keys seem to log me out of websites like Jimdo and stop BBC iPlayer from playing video, why? Most annoying. As you can't turn up the volume with out stopping the video and the system going back to the beginning of the video.

On a Mac OS X system: System Preferences->Keyboard and Mouse->Keyboard(tab)->Modifier Keys(button): set Caps Lock to No Action (or to plain Shift if you prefer). Some people like Caps Lock. They can keep it. Others (like me) keep pressing it by mistake. We disable it. Everybody's happy. And if you're a No Caps Lock type of person, but really want it on rare occasion, just map it back temporarily. Takes 5 seconds.

Keyboard stuck in caps

I'm really hoping I can get some help with this asap. So my mackbook pro seems to be stuck in caps lock, however the caps key is not stuck and neither of the shift keys are stuck either. Upon booting up the keys make a sound like they are locked or something, but will then start working in caps again. I cannot log into the computer as my password is all lowercase letters. I have tried restarting, plugging the charger in, pressing the option key five times (in case the problem is mouse keys), as well as starting it in safe mode. I have tried to reset the SMC but all that seems to do is boot it in safe mode. I have also tried to reset the PRAM and again it doesn't work, doesn't restart the computer but instead opens OS X Utilities. I have been trying all of these methods for the past 5 hours and nothing is working at all. If anyone has any input or suggestions it is greatly appreciated!

Hello there casslun,
It sounds like you have a few keys that aren't working correctly. It seems to me like you have done all the troubleshooting I would have. Next you should have the computer looked at, as it seems you may need a repair.
