Apple Pro keys not working after 10.4.3 Upgrade (!?!)

Hi All
My computer is a dual processor G4 1.42 chrome drive door. I have an Apple Pro keyboard and a Macally 3 button scroll mouse.
I just upgraded from 10.3.x (x=4 I think) to 10.4.3
After the upgrade the eject and volume keys on the keyboard don’t work. The only way I can open the optical drive is to start iTunes and use the button in that application.
I’m pretty sure the keyboard selection is wrong, but I run into a brick wall everywhere I go to change it.
MAC HELP says:
Open System Preferences and click Keyboard & Mouse.
Click Keyboard.
Click the "Change Keyboard Type" button...
But there is =NO= such button there.
I tried searching and found the Keyboard Setup Assistant, but it does not open or run - nothing happens when I double click on it.
I tried reinstalling 10.4.3 - No change
The input settings are set to US. I also tried US Extended. No change.
How do I get all the buttons on my keyboard to work?
A.M.

FYI
I've solved the problem.
This problem, and several other symptoms (Safari hangs, slow log-on, Epson Printer Utility hangs, etc.) appear to have been caused by an old version of Spell Catcher.
Spell Catcher is a truly =GREAT= program by Rainmaker Software (http://www.rainmakerinc.com/). It's been around in one form or another since 1985 and I've been using it almost that long. It's inexpensive, and does more stuff for me than I'll go into here. (Including checking this message as I type it.)
-BUT- you MUST upgrade to version 10.2 if you are running Tiger. Or suffer the consequences.
Thank you all those who have read this and tried to figure out what was going on.

  • 7 u j m keys not working after 10.8.1 upgrade, late 2008 aluminum Macbook

    That's all, these keys do not work after update/upgrade today. They were working fine right before i did the update and are not working now. If I hit the M ket a few times i do get some garbage. Help?

    Thanks, but still the same. It boot normally only if there isn't any usb device attach to the computer. I'm using usb mouse instead of bluetooth mouse and it happens not to boot normally like usual.
    The technician said it would be okay if any usb devices attach to the computer during the boot apparently it won't boot normally.
    Any alternative sir?

  • Power key not working after few hours of upgrade to Lollipop

    Please, i need urgent assistance as the power key/button on my device isnt working. I can't switch off the device and it worries me cos this started few hours after i performed the upgrade to Lollipop.
    Urgent response would be highly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, it's not much more that you can do as troubleshooting than the software repair that Thommo mentioned. If there still are no reaction when pressing the ON/OFF button after a software repair, it sounds more related to a hardware issue that needs to be examined by a technician at an authorized service center. You can contact your local support team for further information about nearest service center and/or how to proceed with this in the best possible way:

  • Some keybaord keys not working after suspect virus on Tecra A

    Apostrophe, delete, semicolon and end keys not working after a suspected virus attack. I found record of the same problem on the net but apparently this guy fixed his problem after he found scroll lock or num lock on.
    This is not the case here but there is something going on with numlock - register shows 2 and not 0. change to 0 but when reboot back to 2 again.
    Suspect changed back by bios. I thought i couldnt get to bios because DEL key not working but found ESC works.
    Tried to reset default values for bios but then cannot save and exit as this required the END key to work.
    I was running XP at the time of the (suspected) attack and could not rectify the problem so put the computer back to the OEM status which i hoped would help - it did not, same problem so rather than install all the software on the computer again with XP i upgraded to Windows7 - fresh install.
    Still keys do not work - it was a real pain to start with as my computer was set up to ctl+alt+del to log in and i had to do this with on screen keyboard - XP - this also showed that numlock was on before and after windows boot.
    The reason i suspect a virus - my wife was watching one of her tv shows on line from home country (another toshiba laptop) and i needed to use that laptop for something else so i asked her to use mine - later on we turned the laptops off and in the morning turned tham back on again, the other laptop with AVG virus protection flagged several hits and this one with (FAMOUS and completely up to date) Norton flagged nothing - once i got into it using on screen keyboard.
    Problems with this computer was found after scanning with a different antivirus.
    Anyway - i am left with 4 keys that do not work on my keyboard (actually they did work after i logged into the computer for the first time but i had to hold them in for a long time - and then next time i rebooted, not work at all and havent ever since)
    Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated, i have been working on this all weekend with no joy at all.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Xardas,
    I have essentially done both - tried Toshiba OEM status found on a small partition of the toshi hard drive - no good - then did a fresh install of Windows 7 - still no good
    You know - as cunning as it sounds - i cannot reload the default settings in BIOS as it requires the END key to work so i can Save & Exit - all i can do is Exit Without Save - i sort of feel snookered at the moment.
    Toshiba got back to me today and said that i have tried everything they would have (yeah for sure) and to take my machine into a service centre for a hardware check - yeah right on boys!
    Check out this guys post below found on Kioskea.net - getting close to a year ago...

    Hi there, I was hoping that you might be able to help me with the problem that I seem to be having with my Toshiba Satellite Laptop Keyboard too. For a few days now I havent been able to use a few of the keys on my keyboard, including (1) delete (the backspace key is still working though), (2) colon/semicolon, (3) apostrophe/quotation marks and (4) end (the home and PgUp and PgDn keys are still working though). Any suggestions?
    Identical to my problem....obviously this guy had the same problem as well...see below - same thread.
    yab - Feb 9, 2010 4:47am GMT
    hi did you ever figure this out? i have the same exact problem...
    However, i was not able to solve my problem the way this guy did - my scroll lock is not activated - it seems to work ok (on and off) i tested it using Excel to move around the cells.
    yab ms ml - Feb 9, 2010 7:57am GMT
    Nevermind. For me it was scroll lock. My apostrophe, semicolon, and delete keys are alive and working again. I hope you have the same easy fix.
    Incidently - never hear from the first guy again - probably ended up being his scroll lock.
    all sugestions welcome - sorry my smily face has no eyes -) guess why!

    Welcome to the HP Forums  MillaMagia,
    I see by your post that the USB isn't being recognized.
    I can help you with this issue.
    Are you using the same USB cable? (known good USB cable)
    You want to use the normal USB slot 2.0 cable and not the latest USB 3.0.
    USB 3.0 are supposed to be backwards compatible.
    Try another USB port on the Laptop, some of the USB ports are more powered then others.
    I have provided a document to see if the printer is partially recognized in the device manager, which is causing the printer not to be recognized again. (the uninstall from the CD should have removed the entry and the printer from the registry)
    Leave the printer turned on and the USB cable connected directly to the computer and the printer's power cord directly into a wall outlet.
    How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
    Here is a document for Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
    Check to see if there are any hardware driver conflicts, you might see a ! mark or a red x beside a device with a conflict or unknown device, look under universal serial bus controllers, look for USB printing support or mass storage device, delete the entry by right clicking and select uninstall, OK.
    Let me know how it was listed. (screen shots welcome)
    If this is a Laptop then check the power management settings.
    Access the device manager. Windows 8-How do I access the Device Manager.
    Select universal serial bus controllers from the list, for each USB root hub, right click and left click on properties, for power management remove the check mark for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". It allows the computer to limit or turn off power for this device.
    Disconnect the USB, run the full uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
    If you need further assistance, let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • IMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade! Feedback pls

    iMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade, anybody experiencing this as well? Feedback please......

    You shouldn't have to hard restart and it shouldn't have anything to do with your router.  If anyone else runs into this problem try resetting the network settings on your phone.  All the steps to do this can be found here http://tekshot5.com/ios-5-1-imessage-fix/

  • Re: NB200-134 - FN key not working after upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate

    My FN keys of NB200-134 is not working after upgrading from Windows 7 starter to Windows 7 ultimate. I tried installing every drivers found on Toshiba website for my lappy but still it does not work.
    Help please

    Hi asalamk,
    The FN keys are controlled by Value Added Package and Flash Cards Support Utility. I think you have forgotten to install these tools
    You should check the Toshiba page again and download both tools. Start with installation of Value Added Package then restart your notebook. After this install Flash Cards Support Utility. Once again restart and all FN keys should work properly now.

  • A1: Home button not working after Ideapad A1 ICS upgrade

    So yesterday I finally tried the ICS upgrade for my Ideapad A1. It worked OK besides all data on internal memory and SD being deleted so I had to reinstall all my apps or restore from Titanium backup.
    In any case the only real problem is that the home button is not working after the upgrade. Does anybody else have this problem and maybe even a solution?
    Thanks!

    Hi, Im using A1 16G and tried to upgrade to ICS for couple of days i read too many articles in different forums....
    Can you put any instruction on how you made it?
    Thanks

    kindly help me please

    @aslamkhn317,
    Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support site.  If your system was not originally configured with Windows 8 pro as an option you may have driver issues.
    If this is the case you will need to restore the system to the originally supported OS.
    Please check to see if the systems support website to see if it offers drivers for the pro version.
    HP Notebook - 15-r203tx - Software and Drivers
    From what it shows you system came with FreeDOS 2.0. In this case you will need to contact Microsoft for support for your Operating System and drivers.
    Thank you again for posting and have a great day.

  • Macbook Pro Password not working after crash!

    I have a 2012 Macbook Pro and I installed Mavericks late last year. Last night Mavericks crashed while I was working on Excel. I restarted the system but now the password would not let me log in.
    After some searching on google, I tried the resetart with CMD+R and Utility option to reset the password, using Terminal for the User (only 1 user on the system), but its still not working. Then I changed the system administrator (root) password change as well, to no avail. I have reset the password 3 times and have tried blank as an attempt and as a password.

  • Keyboard wireless key not working after upgrading to windows 8.1

    Hello,
    I am having hp pavilion dv6-6165tx notebook, where keyboard having a wireless button that turns ON and OFF all wireless devices, After upgrading to windows 8.1, HP Connection Manager is not getting installed, as well as Key is not working, key color turns red and white but no action is performed.
    Kindly suggest me some solution.
    Note: HP Doesn't provide drivers for windows 8/8.1 ONLY WINDOWS 7 for hp pavilion dv6-6165tx.
    Thanks.

    Hi @Jayesh_Bhadja ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv6-6165tx Notebook and the Wireless keyboard not working correctly. Here is a link to troubleshoot the keyboard.
    The HP Connection Manager is something that is for Windows 7 not Windows 8.1. I would uninstall this from your Notebook.  Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating. It has a troubleshooting tool in this.
    Make sure all your updates have been completed. I would try restarting my Notebook a few times.
    If that does not help I would uninstall the keyboard from the Device manager.
    Thanks.
