SCROLL LOCK from a normal KEYBOARD

Hi I need to be able to turn on and off at my leisure the SCROLL LOCK KEY.
How is it possible that I can not activate this key even with the virtual keyboards ?
there must be the possibility to map this key to another key on the keyboard. I need to use this key SCROLL LOCK to work with excel and beyond.SCRO
Plus if you buy a keyboard ( not apple ) that uses that key for some functions, such functions can I use this ?
seems absurd to me that there is a possibility via the terminal, via dedicated app or other way to be able to map this key on the keyboard of the Mac. in particular find it ridiculous that this problem is present only on Mac OS X. I have a MacBookPro 15 "early 2011 with OS vers , 10.7.5

A menu title means to write the available menu item (such as Print) as you see it in it's menu.
However, scroll lock does not have a menu in the Finder or anywhere.
You're right there. Dead end?
But looking at Mac Help with scroll lock as the topic, I found that Control + F14 is the keyboard equivalent for scroll lock. You'll find this under "Windows Keys on a Mac Keyboard."
Whether you can remap that I don't know.

Apple Keyboard and Win 8: Cannot type numbers ! Looking for driver or workaround.

I have just upgraded to Windows 8 on one of my Mac Minis. Alas, the Apple keyboard cannot be used to enter numbers in Windows 8 ! Is there a new driver out there that fixes this ? I have been unable to find one but I may have conducted a faulty search.

You may have to wait for the "official" Boot Camp drivers to be released since it's not oficially supported by Mac yet.

Remap "Scroll Lock" on external PC keyboard

I've got my iBook and a PC laptop on an IOGEAR KVM so I can use my much-beloved MS Keyboard Pro and external mouse with both computers.
There are two key options for switching between computers, Scroll Lock (the default) or Ctrl. I can't use Ctrl because I use it all the time on the Windows side for keyboard shortcuts and I find my self inadvertently switching computers.
But the default Scroll Lock key turns down the brightness on the iBook. So everytime I double-tap the key to switch, the iBook gets dimmer. I know that I can press the Pause key to increase the brightness again, but I'd like to avoid the problem completely by remapping the Scroll Lock key.
I've found a few different utilities which I guess will help (such as Ukelele) but I'm quite a fish out of water trying to use these apps.
I don't really need to do advanced custom keyboard layouts, just change the function of this one key. Can anyone offer a suggestion for this?

Scroll lock on apple keyboard

Is there a way to mock a "scroll lock" on an apple keyboard? I need it for a remote linux app.
Thanks!

I have the exact same keyboard and issue. SHIFT+F14 did not work. I also saw another suggetion for CTRL+F14. That didn't work either. I've tried a bunch of keys and sequences to try and find it by chance, but no luck so far. Did anyone ever find a fix or workaround? Is there a key mapping software or app that would let me make a key sequence to match that of a scroll lock under Windows? I'm brand new to the mac world so any info on how to go about finding a fix would be helpful too. Thanks!
Oh, one other thing, somewhere I saw mention of an "extended keyboard" for the mac that includes a scroll lock key. Anyone know what that is all about? I would assume that the mac keyboards can send the Windows scroll lock command if the exteneded keyboard can do it.

Apple Aluminum keyboard--scroll lock

I have had my new mini for awhile and recently added the new keyboard. I don't normally use the scroll-lock feature, but have on occasion in the past. Now, for no reason I can discern, all of my Excel sheets have the Lock ON, but I can no longer find how, on this keyboard, to disable the function. Help!!

My son came up with the solution; in case anyone ever runs into thi!. I turned off QuicKeys, then pressed Command F14, then turned QuicKeys back on.

Disabling scroll lock in New Imac keyboard

Hello world,
I'm recently using Office 2011 for Mac and I have a problem with excel. Accidentally I made a mac key combination and I disabled the scroll lock. I want to enable it again in order to move the cell selected using the arrow keys. I can not use Ctrl-F14 (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/cdb_winkeys.html) because the new keyboard only have from F1 to F12.
How can I made to solve it?
Thanks so much!

Solved by the moment... with a virtual keyboard

Scroll Lock function with ultra thin mac keyboard

In the Boot Camp Installation Guide (on pg. 17) there is a table showing PC key commands and the corresponding Apple keyboard commands for both external and built in keyboards.
The table shows F15 to be the single stroke for scroll lock.
Yet, I can't seem to get it to work.
We want to use the scroll lock function to work with x-Fire while playing Halo to chat with other players (something that is easily done on a pc).
I tried some of the other Apple commands -- and get no response from any of them.
Suggestions?
Danty

I realized it is simply a matter of Windows not recognizing the Mac keyboard.
Anyway the warning window went away and isn't an issue any longer.
The keyboard works just fine.

Hey best99,
Thanks for the question. After you change your Apple ID, you’ll want to follow these directions for updating the iCloud account on iOS devices:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
iCloud
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
- If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
- If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
1. Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
2. Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Error message: cannot remove older versions of apple software update

I recently got a 30 gb ipod, and i cant install itunes 7. I originally tried installing it at first, and it said cannot remove older applications of Apple Software Update. So i installed itunes 4 to put music on my ipod. Then i tried again to install itunes 7 and i keep getting the same error message. Anyone else having this problem? Can anyone give me some suggestions please?

I would first try and remove both iTunes and Quicktime prior to doing the install of iTunes. The following link will show you how to remove both programs. Make sure you do Step 16 as it is usually Quicktime that causes problems with the upgrade.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
If it will not let you remove the programs, you can try using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. The download is about 1/4 of the way down the page. Good luck.

Older version of apple installer cannot be removed

I cannot get Itunes to upoad onto my computer because it cannot remove the old file. I cannot find that file anywhere on the computer. Help please

Is that Apple Software Update?
If so try removing it with add/remove programs.
If that fails, try an installer file clean up.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
When you run the program look for any entries for Apple Software Update and remove them.

I have a new wireless keyboard but it doesn't have the "Scroll Lock" key I need to work my printer.Any ideas please. I'm new it iMac.

I have new iMac with a wireless keyboard. It doesn't have a "Scroll lock`' key (hot key) which I need to work a shared printer controlled by a manual share switch. does anyone have any suggestions to help please?

There is a key combination that operates the scroll lock function on your keyboard, try it and see if it works:
The reason that the manual switch is mapped to the scroll lock is because it is a rarely used (sometimes never used) function, unfortunately that is exactly why it is vanishing, gone on some keyboards already.Consult the documentation for the switch, see if the function controlled currently by the scroll lock key can be remapped to another key.
