All my keys work all my keys work except my spacebar on my wireless keyboard

all of my keys work on my wireless keyboard except the space bar.

hi. first off, don't try anything about closing apps and all that, unless you make sure you've turned off quick nav to type. for some strange reason, in iOS 8, you can't type text into a edit field, if you don't turn that off. that's by pressing the left and right arrows together. if this isn't the problem, then i'd try toggling off the keyboard, then toggle off bluetooth on your device, then back on, and finally turn the keyboard back on.

  • How to set up wireless keyboards to work on 2 computers within 3 feet of one another

    We work close together -- within 3 feet and need to use wireless keyboards if possible. One computer will recognize
    the Apple wireless keyboard but my laptop will not recognize either of the 2 Apple wireless keyboards we own. I have changed
    batteries, made sure Bluetooth is on and there is no other interference. Appreciate any help.

    If the KB is paired with something, it needs to be deleted from that system before it can pair with something else. BT devices may only pair with one thing at a time.
    If I did not understand your issue, post back.

  • HT3932 Wireless Keyboard Update 2.0  his update doesn't work!  I'm at 10.5.8 on my old iMac G5, installed the update and brightness and volume just do not work.  What next?

    This update doesn't work!  I'm at 10.5.8 on my old iMac G5, installed the update and brightness and volume just do not work.  What next?

    I have a brand new wireless keyboard... so it's never going to work.  BUT... I found a sort of work round! 
    Since it's eyeTV that I want to control the volume more than the system volume I discovered cmd and up/down arrows do the job.  I gess I'll forgo the brightness function.
    I'm a little frustrated that it appears Apple seems to want to push me towards an upgrade of a perfectly serviceable iMac G5.  I'll be keeping it to watch TV, surf the web, wordprocess and let the macbook pro handle photos & video.

  • I have an ancient laptop (from 2005) that has my entire music library. This laptop barely works and some keys don't type anymore. How can I get all this music transferred to another computer, or available to me on the cloud?

    No... do not move programs.
    About the iTunes library files
    Your iTunes library files track the media you add to iTunes, how you've organized it, and other information such as playlists. By default, these two files are in your iTunes folder:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
    Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

  • All of a sudden my Enter key no longer works in SQL Developer.

    All of a sudden my Enter key no longer works in SQL Developer. I don't know how I managed to disabled it. Can anyone tell me how to re-enable it?
    I already tried the following:
    - I closed the application and re-opened it. - It didn't work
    - I re-started my machine. I didn't work
    Help! Thank you

    The same thing has just happened to me and this was very useful to correct the problem --- but now I am wondering why or how this happened. To the best of my knowledge, I haven't make any setting changes so why did I lose the Enter action?

  • Macbook Pro 15inch Volume, brightness keys not working (All the special F keys)

    Hello,
    I have this problem on my MBP where my Fn (Function Keys) on the top row of my keyboard don't work properly. I use these keys all the time to adjust brightness, keyboard LED brightness, pause, play and volume but they aren't working anymore. When I press F12 it shows the dashboard. I already have the 'Use all F1, F2 ect. keys as standard function keys' unchecked in System preferences, Keyboard. I am on a bootcamped MBP but mainly use the Mac OSX. This problem is occuring on Mac OSX not Windows. I have not dropped my MBP to damage it or anything like that. I have installed 16GB Ram and the Seagate Momentus 750GB Hybrid SSD a few months ago. Anyone know how I can fix this?
    Any help will be extremly appreciated!
    - Kieran/Paul

    Check the setting in Keyboard, Keyboard Tab, that the "Use all F1, F2, ect. keys as standard function keys" isn't checked.

  • T400 HELP!!! Only Fn key functions work, all other keys do not!

    Everything was working fine till i was in my browser and somehow hit spacebar only find that the screen has been magnified. From then on only keys with Fn function(light blue keys) worked; I have tried (Fn+Num Lk), (Fn+Scr Lk), (<right,left>shift+f10/f11), rolling back to previous backup, rebooting. Nothing works!! I tried these commands in the on-screen keyboard but there is no way to use the fn key, it does not have one. I have uninstalled the keyboard driver only for it to reinstall upon boot, it still does not work.
    Only keys with the Fn function; Fn+F2(windows lock), Fn+F3(battery), Fn+F4(stand-by), Fn+F5(wireless), Fn+F7(presentation/screen display), Fn+F8(keyboard pointer and touch pad), Fn+F9(i don't know), F12(hibernate), scrLk(numLk), home(brightness+), end(brightness-), pg up(keyboard bulb), spacebar(magnify screen) and the think vantage blue button. Only these few work. All other neutral keys do not work. I'm not sure about PrtSc(sysRq) and pause(Break). I tried them but doesn't seem to respond
    I have searched for all possible fixes, I am at an end if no one here is able to help me. I have deadlines coming up and am really desperate, HELP!!!

    You may have a Thinkpad keyboard fault - fortunately the keyboards are field replaceable units.

  • My IPAD 2 is freezing on the principal internet explorer page.  It presents the google home page with a grey filter over it and does not respond to any touch or key.  All other internet dependent functions seem to be working (i.e. mail, various APPs etc.)

    My IPAD 2 is freezing on the principal internet access page.  It comes up through a light grey filter and does not respond to any touch or keys.  All other internet dependent functions seem to be working fine (mail, various APPs).  How do I "unfreeze"?
    thanks

    Geoff-
    Go to Settings-Safari and Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
    Another thing you can try is to double-click the Home button.  A row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen.  Scroll across and find the Safari icon.  Press on it for a couple of seconds until it starts to wiggle.  A red minus sign will appear on each icon.  Press on Safari's minus sign to remove it.  This may clear its memory of the bad Google page.
    If this does not help, try resetting (rebooting) the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • Wireless Keyboard F Keys not working at all

    Just got a new wireless keyboard. Love it other than none of the F keys work and I can't seem to figure out if it's something I need to change in Keyboard preferences or what? Volume, brightness, expose, playback, etc keys all are non-functional. Even if I press the Fn as well.. Also, while there is a dedicated "eject" key on the right, it's actually the F12 (also labeled volume) key that activates the eject icon on the screen. However, that doesn't eject the cd tray at all....
    Total confusion, thanks in advance for any advice.

    Did you install the keyboard software?

  • TS1277 HI. I have followed all the appropriate steps above and when I try to enter my 'Password' when asked, my keyboard doesn't work. No key press can be activated at all when trying to enter my password in 'Terminal. And I am in the 'Administrator' user

    HI.
    I am having trouble authorising my Mac Air to my Itunes account. I found a discussion explaining how to go go into 'Terminal', then adding a command. I have followed all those appropriate steps and when I try to enter my 'Password' when asked, my keyboard doesn't work. No key press can be activated at all when trying to enter my password in 'Terminal. And I am in the 'Administrator' user. Can anybody offer any suggestions?? ta

    Does the command that you're trying to enter in Terminal begin with the word 'sudo'?
    If so, your keyboard is working fine. When you type your password after a sudo command, nothing is echoed to the screen for security reasons (not even the * that are normally registered in other user interfaces). However, the program is registering what you type.
    Just type your password and press 'return' and the command will be executed (so long as you type it correctly; if you don't, you'll get an error message).

  • All of a sudden, directional down key doesn't work?

    I'm on my boyfriend's macbook pro.
    all of a sudden, his down key doesn't work.
    all the other keys surrounding it work.
    I've taken off the key to check underneath, and there is nothing stuck.
    We haven't done any updates or anything.
    Is there anyway to fix this? o_O
    Thank you!

    Get a new BF with a Mac that works.
    Try resetting your SMC and PRAM.
    Resetting the System Management Controller >>
    If that does not work, you might try an Archive and Install to eliminate a software issue, but my guess is, he may need the keyboard replaced.

  • Left alt key not working all the time

    the left alt key seems to be intermittent on versions of windows vista and above using a MS wireless keyboard
    I don't know about you but the left alt key is very important in my workflow and it works intermittently
    It seems to be something with the driver and the person at MS on the phone said it was a driver issue and he had no idea who to send it to.
    Removing the "NEW" mouse and keyboard drivers seemed to have worked but not really
    Only solution so far is not to buy MS hardware

    Hi,
    According to your description, it seems like a hardware problem, it would be better to contact Microsoft hardware support:

  • Some key shortcuts fail to work all the time

    Since updating to OS 10.7.2, some keyboard shortcuts don't always work.
    Since I prefer most of the time not to have the previous page shown when an app opens again, I close the window before quiting. I use CMD-W but often it will not work at all or at least might take 2 or more attempts. When this happens, I use the Close Window on the file menu will work as does clicking on the red dot.
    What is happening? Is this a Lion update problem?

    See if this helps.
    Calibrate the home button
    1. Open a stock iOS app, such as Contacts
    2. Press & hold the sleep/wake button at the top of your device until the red slider control appears.
    3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button and press & hold the home button. Hold until the red slider disappears.
    If that didn't work, describe what constitutes "doesn't seem to work all the time". More details .....

  • The keys on my keyboard do not work all the time. I have to strike a key more than once before it appears on the screen.

    I've changed batteries on my wireless keyboard with no help. It is a Wireless Keyboard 1000. I'm thinking it could be caused by an addon, but not sure which one.

    Fast answers:
    1. Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM and SMC. Doesn't usually 'cure' keyboard problems you report, but it costs nothing and only takes a few minutes.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3819550?start=0&tstart=0
    2. Try plugging in a USB keyboard. Doesn't absolutely have to be a Mac keyboard. A PC keyboard will work for a test. If the typing problem does not occur with the USB keyboard, you have a temporary solution until you can arrange to visit a repair facility.
    3. If your MacBook is older and has a user-removable battery, shut down the computer, remove the battery, and examine it for signs of 'bulging' or swelling. Then connect the computer to the Magsafe power supply, without reinstalling the battery, and turn it back on. If the keyboard problem has gone away, it was likely caused by a swelling battery.
