Apple keyboard locked number pad

I have been locked out of the number keys on my apple keyboard, though all the other function keys on the number pad work as expected. There is no unlock button on my apple keyboard. This only happens on my account. All other accounts on the computer don't have this problem.

Virginia,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you checked System Preferences>Universal Access>Mouse>Mouse Keys: "Off"?

Apple Keyboard with number pad the V key will not work

Apple Keyboard with number pad the V key will not work. Everyother key works but not the V. I have a MacBook Pro. Any suggestions?

Call AppleCare and get it replace if it's under warranty; otherwise, get a new one. They're only $49 USD.

Apple Keyboard with number pad doesn't work with Mac Pro?

I have a Mac Pro, and have used an Apple Keyboard with a number pad (not bluetooth) with it for quite a while, with no problems. But then my keyboard broke and I ordered a replacement Apple Keyboard with a number pad (not bluetooth). This keyboard doesn't work with my Mac Pro. I have it plugged in, but I can't get the Mac Pro to consistently recognize that there is a USB keyboard connected to it. What magical stuff do I have to do to get the keyboard to be fit for purpose?

It would not hurt to try an SMC Reset. (But if it does not help, it adds credence to lllaass assertion that the keyboard is not working.)

I deleted my apple keyboard and track pad driver by accident.

I deleted my apple keyboard and track pad driver by accident so now i can’t do anything on my windows side. Not sure what to do now. Please Help!

for this you will need a wired usb mouse. back in osx, download windows support software to your desktop or where you prefer, go back to windows with the wired mouse connected, open "this pc" go into your osx drive and install the support software from where you left it.

Can I use an apple keyboard and track pad with my iPad Air?

How do I use my apple keyboard and track pad with my iPad Air?

I did all that you suggest before and it didn't work. So I waited a bit and tried again and it finally worked. Not sure what the problem was as I didn't do anything differently.
Thank you for all your help.

Apple wired keyboard. Number pad not working with Windows Office 07 via bo

I have a 27' Quad core i7 with windows 7 loaded via bootcamp. i have Office 2007 loaded in the Windows partition.
My problem is that the number pad on my wired apple keyboard does not work in excel or word. The number at the top of the keyboard work fine.
Has anyone found a solution please.

Hi,
does the numpad work in other Windows programs, or is it just the MS Office programs ?
Have you tried the 'clear'-key (the one above the '7'-key on the numpad) to enable the numpad ?

Wireless keyboard w/ number pad

Is anyone using an original Apple Wireless keyboard (circa 2005) on a newer mac? I cannot get mine to work with my 2008 Macbook or 2010 iMac...

I recall an iPhone app that lets you use said iPhone as a number pad.
You can make a script that applies a style, and then assign any keyboard shortcut you want to that script.
I did that for a while, but eventually just started using Quick Apply. I started naming my styles in such a way as to keep ID functions out of the Quick Apply list - starting style names with varying numbers of apostrophes or right square brackets or whatever keys are handy and unused and right next to the Enter key. It wound up being rather faster than the numpad shortcuts for documents with large numbers of styles, after a few long nights of slightly frustrating re-education.

Keyboard glitch--number pad with SL

One computer, two drives with two different OSX versions; one Leopard and one Snow Leopard. It keeps me from having all my eggs in one basket.
One keyboard. The extended aluminum slab.
Booting in SL causes the number pad's numbers to fail to work. Booting in 10.5 Leopard has them working just fine.
Before installing SL over the previous OSX, they worked fine. All the other keys work just fine in both versions.
I've tried to find anything similar on this in the discussions, but either nothing's there or I missed it. How can I get my keyboard functional in SL?

I don't know if SL boots up with that check box checked as the default or what. Maybe I was fooling with it months ago and the SL install simply inherited it.
Wouldn't it be nice if potentially mind-warping settings like this were the subject of a poster when SL booted up from a restart?

Apple keyboard with numeric pad - batteries

Any thoughts
Many thnaks

The unused Bluetooth keyboard behind me still had the batteries in - take them out and problem gone!!

Number lock shortcut on keyboard with number pad

How do I turn number lock back on? Somehow I turned the number lock off, probably while cleaning the keyboard.

Try the clear button above the keypad.

Keyboard in Number Pad mode missing return button

Good day everyone,
I've been googling for a way to show a keyboard layout for just numbers that contain the return key in it but I think until now (iOS 7) there is none by default, so I would have to built my own.
If so, what technique would you guys/gals recommend?
Thank you

UIViews that accept text editing like UITextView and UITextField have two properties .inputView and .inputAccessoryView. The first is the keyboard the later is a toolbar to be on top of the keyboard.
You can just create a .xib file with a UIToolbar and a nice UITabButtonItem of your own and at viewDidLoad load the Xib file and set it as the .inputAccessoryView of the UITextField / UITextView you have using the numeric keyboard.
Don't forget to properly connect the action of the UIBarButtonItem to a method in your code for where you should call [UITextField resignFirstResponder]; to achieve what you want

New Apple Keyboard requires 10.5.6?

I'm posting this here in the hope that someone has a new iMac with the new Apple Keyboard (sans numeric keypad) and another Mac running 10.4.11, and can try an experiment.
The new Apple Keyboard, sans number pad, is a great idea that I've been waiting for for almost 20 years. However, when I recommended it to a client (with a PowerBook G4 running 10.4.11), he came back and pointed out that it requires "Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later". Huh? It's just a keyboard, with a USB cable. Of course, it has the new set of F keys on the top row, but so do the Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, which requires 10.4.1 (? - that's what the Apple Store page says, though I suspect it's a typo for 10.4.10) and the Apple Wireless Keyboard, which requires 10.4.10.
If someone could try the new Apple Keyboard with a Mac running 10.4.11 and see if and how it works, I'd very much like to hear the results. As I suspect would many others.

HI, I have the new keyboard and am still using Tiger (10.4.11). I found the function keys don't work as expected--the volume keys wouldn't work at all. I called Apple Care and they told me the new keyboards were designed for 10.5. For the volume keys I got something called "sizzlingkeysforiTunes" which works, although it opens iTunes. I was able to map a key for application windows, which is F13 on an extended one.
I was happy to be rid of the number pad since I use a pen tablet, but found I really really miss the home, end and pg up/pgdn keys. I use them constantly in Photoshop, and the command/control equivalents aren't working in Photoshop. I don't know if they'll work in Leopard, though.
So, I'm not so happy with it, but I like the size and lack of number pad.

Disfunctional Keyboard Number Pad

I've been having weird problems with my keyboard's number pad. Initially, it starts off fine when I boot up the computer. However, it eventually starts acting funny. The number keys on it act like num lock is turned off, regardless of it's state. Even the keys for the math symbols don't work. They simply don't do anything. And the plus key acts like the right mouse button in some applications. My keyboard is the Logitech Wave Keyboard, but I'm doubting that's the problem because it's never acted like this before. Also, a few weeks ago, the number pad started acting like Num Lock was in the opposite state.

I haven't seen this problem coming up in a couple days, so I'm guessing it is resolved. Right now, I can think of two possible causes. For one, the problem always (or usually) started when I was using OpenOffice.org, which I haven't been using as much. So it's possibly a bug in OpenOffice. Also, A few days ago I stopped using evdev as my mouse driver, since it had been causing problems with cycling the input events in /dev/input. I'm guessing it was more likely to be caused by driver interference.

10.8.4 and extended keyboard number pad issues

To anyone that has heard of this before. I've checked about every discussion here and I don't know that this issue has been resolved. I recently upgraded to 10.4.8 as most here have done. The odd and annoying thing thats happened now is that my apple wireless keyboard's number pad no longer works; The number 5 key seams to have become related to a left click on the mouse wherever the curser is on the screen, but no other keys work. This problem has also crippled any web browser I use such as Safari or Firefox; meaning that if I attempt to use the number pad in a login field, the mouse can no longer select or move open windows.
My one remedy to all of this has been to open the Force Quit Applications menu and all is well with the mouse again. One last point I can make is that by creating a new user account, all my keyboard and mouse problems go away, and everything acts as it should. I just don't want to have to back up everything and reinstall the system. So my mac faithful friends, please help.
2GHz iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2 GB DDR SDRAM

I found the answer!!!!!
I was looking in universal access under the mouse settings and noticed something called mouse keys. Some how I turned that option on and it turned the number pad into a way of moving the curser multiple directions with the ability to select items by pressing the #5 key. I hope this may help others, I've been stuck with this one for a few days.

Number Pad Keyboard Keys wrongly mapped

Hi Folks,
Hope someone out there can help. I am using a Mac Full Keyboard, ie Number Pad included, and recently the * and / Keys on the Number have started producing ' (Single Quote) and ; (Semi-Colan) instead.
Is my keyboard knackered, or have I accidently remapped my keys?
Fingers crossed someone can help,
Treders

If I ddn't know better, & I don't, I'd hahly suspect any KB by Apple.
But then they've really messed up the OS, might try some workarounds...
