Alpha keys are locked on wireless keyboard?

The iMac wireless keyboard will not type alpha characters but is paired and batteries are good.
Help?
Isctheirca lock command that I should use to reverse an accidental lock?

It sounds like mouse keys has been turned on.  Press the option key 5 times to turn on/off.
You can also visit System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse and Trackpad tab to see if it's on.
If that's not the problem then visit the other settings in this prefpane.

  • 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.

    I see that you are having problems with the keyboard on your computer. I would like to help with that issue but I need some information.
    Can you provide the model and product number of the computer? Here is a link that shows how to find that information.

  • Are the apple wireless keyboards and mac book pro keyboards the same size?

    Are the apple wireless keyboards and the mac book pro keyboards the same size? I have the most current wireless keyboard and I use it with my iPad. Thanks in advance

    I took it to the same shop where i purchased they sent it to the apple
    service centre and it is a week and no one informed me abt the problem
    or the action on it.
    We are mainly just users to users here, and sometimes a Apple folk will respond, but it's just a direction to a Apple support document, no service or account issues are handled here.
    Will they replace the mac book pro as it is still in warranty
    We don't know what Apple will decide to do in your case, the best source of information is the shop you brought it to.
    They might be in the process of fixing it, or they might be deciding they need to keep your machine for investigation.
    Apple will take care of you, make sure you buy AppleCare and a external drive for TimeMachine if you haven't already.

  • Keys are locked

    I was making a call, and when I finished, the buttons no longer work on the phone. I have rebooted, but nothing changes. Help!

    Oh, Okay I'll try that an let you know.FYI  It's kind of a combination of both. Because the keys are locked, I'll take the battery out to reset the phone. After it resets I have about 20 seconds before the screen goes black. So it's hard to tell if it's the battery or because I couldn't unlock the keys in the allotted time.

    Hi
    Can't really tell what going on from so little to go on. Are the keys actually locked? Or does it just not work? It sounds awfully like a discharged battery
    Plug it into the PC with the proper BB data cable and then take the battery out for 30 minutes. Then replace the battery whilst leaving it plugged in. If it doesn't reboot, leave it for a couple of hours, then repeat the process, all the while with it plugged in.

  • 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).

  • Using "delete" key on Apple's wireless keyboard shut down applications on my ipad, such as Mail, in Japanese Font.  Any solution?

    I use Apple's wireless keyboard to type email messages on my ipad.  Often applications, such as Mail, would shut down suddenly after using "delete" key on the wireless keyboard.  This happens when I am typing in Japanese language.  It is really annoying because I will lose all the text that are not saved.  Any suggestions? 

    Sorry but that was a completely pointless post.

  • 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.

  • Control keys of latest apple wireless keyboard don't work on iPhone 4

    Hello;
    I just brought the latest apple wireless keyboard(2011) and I tried the control keys(briteness, music control, volume control) none of them worked on my iPhone 4(ios 4.3.5), but those shortcuts like: cmd+a, cmd+c...worked very well, I don't know what's wrong with this and I think those control keys are very useful, I'm planning to replace my old Lenovo laptop with my new accessory, who can give me a hand please!!! Thank you!

    A number of folks have reported that the newest Apple BT keyboard, designed for use with Mac OS X Lion has this issue. Unfortunately the new KB has the same model number as the one for Snow Leopard. The way to tell them apart is the F4 key, on the Snow Leopard KB it has the Dashboard icon. I would try to find an Apple retailer with the Snow Leopard KB in stock and exchange your KB for one of them. The Snow Leopard KBs work great with the iPad, with all applicable function keys operating.

  • Num Lock for wireless keyboard

    Anybody can suggest how to enable/disable the Num Lock in my wireless keyboard? It's currently not working for input of numbers. It once worked but something has happened and it's now not responsive. Thanks!

  • Number lock on wireless keyboard

    I have the compact wireless keyboard and have searched all over for a solution to turn on the numbers lock - if indeed such a thing is possible. The bootcamp documentation does not help either. It just says that for entering numbers the user should use the number keys just below the Function keys.
    This means I have to hold down the shift key on my kb to enter numbers which is quite inconvenient for fast work within say, a spreadsheet.
    I would be grateful for any help in this regard.
    Many thanks

    The recent versions of Mac OS X combined with current MacBook or Apple Wireless Keyboards do not support NumLock function.
    There is a 3rd party freeware app called NumLock that is meant to restore this functionality for OS X 10.7 and later.
    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • "Sticky" keys on apple's wireless keyboard when typing on my ipad.

    I am using apple's wireless keyboard on my ipad. It has worked fine for four months but then last night the keys got "sticky", typing any letter I'm hitting continually until I hit escape. Does anyone know how to set it back to normal typing?
    The on screen keyboard works fine (I'm using it now), but when i switch to the wireless this happens:
    I   cannnnn't't't    tttttyppeeeeeeee      noormallyyyyyyy...............
    I tried changing batteries but that didn't help either. Would really appreciate comments/help!!

    Do you have a computer with Bluetooth that you can test the keyboard with?
    Have you tried going into Settings on the iPad and under Bluetooth tried forgetting the device? You should see the keyboard listed as a device. Pressing the arrow in the blue circle should present an option to forget the device.

  • How to disable "special" f-key function on Apple Wireless Keyboard in Windows 7

    Hi.  I dual-boot my iMac using an Apple Wireless Keyboard.  In Mac OS's "Keyboard" system preference pane, I've chosen to treat the F-keys as actual F-keys, and not the "special" function keys, such as volume control and screen brightness.  This however does not carry over to the Windows environment.
    I cannot find an option to do this on the Windows 7 side.  I've tried SharpKeys (popular Windows freeware key-mapping registry editor), however the program doesn't recognize the key being pushed (unless I hold the "Fn" key, at which point, it sees it as the F# key).
    To reiterate, I'd like to know how to use the F1 through F12 keys as F1-F12 in Windows 7, without having to use the "Fn" key.
