8 keys dont work on wireless keyboard

I just changed the batteries on my wireless keyboard I use with my macbook pro.  Now the Delete, Tab, apostrophe, down arrow, rt option, space bar, and fn keys do not work.  I have tried several sets of fresh batteries.  Have shut down and re-started the computer.  Have followed the trouble shooting suggestions. and have reset the pram and smc.  I am at a loss of what is wrong or how to fix it.  The keyboard on my laptop work fine.

Can you try the keyboard with another computer? If you don't have another desktop or laptop, you can also use an iPad or iPhone to test the keyboard. I'm assuming this is Apple Bluetooth Keyboard or a third party Bluetooth.

  • Media Keys Not Working - Apple Wireless Keyboard - Snow Leopard 10.6

    Hello, I am a new user to this Support Area and i tried calling but as its Christmas Day i cant get through because there closed so i decided to join here.
    Ok basically my problem is that i have a iMac and i recently installed Snow Leopard and on Christmas Day i got a Wireless Apple Keyboard i set it up all went well and got through all the bluetooth process fine except when i went to try use the Media Keys which are Brightness Up/Down, Volume Control, Play/Pause/FastForward and the other two don't know what there called tho when i press any of them they dont work when i press F12 which has a picture of Volume Up it goes to my Widgets thing and when i press F11 which is Volume Down it moves all the current apps out of the desktop like a clearing space function.
    I Really would like to have the Media Keys back to how there supposed to be i don't know why it is doing this but i think its Snow Leopard.I Have tried everything possible in System Prefs even removed the keyboard from the Bluetooth paired devices and re paired it but still nothing. It would be mostly appreciated if one you guys could help me soon..
    Thanks Sean

    Wow! I am in the exact same situation. I don't think it is Snow Leopard tho b/c when I plug my old keyboard back in the media keys work fine. It might have to do with the apple aluminum keyboard 2.0 update but when I try to download that it says my system is unable to support it (eben tho it only requires at least 10.5.8).
    If you find a solution let me know.

  • Media keys no working on wireless keyboard

    Hey guys,
    On my wireless keyboard, play/pause, fast ff and previous song keys are not working, however my sound keys are working.  I have checked that the 'use all Fn keys' function is not ticked under the keyboard settings and i am using the keyboard that came with my iMac which i purchased 4 months ago. It only seems to have happened since upgrading to Mavericks.
    Can anyone help with a solution? It's getting  bit annoying having to maunally change the songs all the time!
    Thanks! 

    Try removing the keyboard from the Bluetooth system prefs, then re-add it in the Keyboard (if it doesn't try automatically).

  • 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.

  • Volume keys not working on wireless keyboard

    Hi guys!
    My f10-11-12 keys are not working for volume purposes. I went into prefereces, keyboard, uncheck/check the "use F1, F2... blahblah" and the problem is still there.
    I am using a macbookpro 13" 10.6.6.
    By the way, if I try to do the same in the built-in macbookpro keyboard it works
    This post did not help either https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2298682?start=0&tstart=0
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for asnwering... Yes, of course I have tried because is how it works
    It could be that fn key does not work, but it isnt since If I uncheck the box "use fn key for f1 f2 standar.." the volume keys still not working.

  • Keyboard keys dont work in Mac OSx

    The following keys suddenly stop working and then continue working randomly: F1 to F7, but the F keys work (eg to show desktop) and also the right (and only the right) shift key.
    This does not depend on what software I have running and happens very very frequently.
    If I bring up the Keyboard Viewer when the problem exists, the keys also dont get registered on the keyboard viewer.
    This is really annoying and happens in Mac OSx, not in Windows - although volume and brightness keys dont work (all the time) in Windows - less of an issue though.
    Any suggestions??

    I'm having a similar problem. But it is not intermittent, they just don't work.
    What can I do to fix this? If I use my wireless keyboard, it isn't a problem. Just when I use my laptop by itself...

    For some reason, your Mac doesn't recognise that a keyboard is present, so it looks for a wireless keyboard. The question is, why doesn't your Mac recognise that a keyboard is attached?
    First, you need to make sure you remove all peripherals, especially USB peripherals (the keyboard is on the USB bus). Then restart holding down the Shift key. This should boot in Safe mode. If the computer boots normally (not in safe mode) and the keyboard is still not working, try resetting the SMC

    If that still doesn't fix the problem, then the keyboard (or its controller) is probably damaged and needs to be replaced.

  • What are the functions of all the keys on my (not wireless) keyboard?

    what are the functions of all the keys on the (non wireless) keyboard?

    System Preferences > Language and Text > Input Sources tab. Top of the left column, tick (check) "Keyboard and Character Viewer", Bottom of window next to search field, tick "Show input menu in menu bar"
    System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab; tick "show keyboard and character viewers in menu bar"
    If you open Keyboard Viewer and press the alt (option) key, the location of the diacritical marks and common symbols will be revealed. Note that five of them are highlighted in orange; these are the ones which can be used with multiple  letters (acute, umlaut, gràve, circumflex and tilde)
    Shift+Alt will show more.

  • Arrow keys dont work on flash games

    Hi, anyone had this problem? The arrow keys dont work when I
    play flash games. Have downloaded latest version of flash (multiple
    times) and still the same problem. I load up a flash game, then can
    only use the mouse to play. Arrow keys just dont respond when used.
    Arrow keys work fine on other programs, just flash is a
    problem
    Really hope someone has had this before and knows what to do.
    Thanks for any replies.

    I had the same problem and was looking around on the net for
    help. I found a post that said to try using the numbered keypad
    instead, as in 8 is up, 2 is down, 4 is left and 6 is right. It
    worked for me so hopefully this will help you as well. :)

  • Keys ±, 3, e, d and c won't work on wireless keyboard so I cannot log in to  my iMac

    Keys ±, 3, e, d and c won't work on my wireless keyboard. I cannot log in to my iMac because my password includes a 3. I've tried logging in as a guest user and tested the keyboard with Safari. The problem keys do't work there either so it looks like a keyboard issue rather than a software one. Does anyone have any ideas about fixing it please?
    (I'm sending this plea from my trusty MacBook Pro!)

    Try resetting the PRAM. It may also be that that key has failed......
