Apple wireless keyboard caps lock light wont turn off

I have an apple wireless keyboard that came with my 2011 imac and up untill last month the caps lock light wont turn off even when i turn caps lock off and its draining my battery. usually the keyboard will turn off whenever the computer was off but now i have to turn the whole keyboard off everytime im not using it to save battery.

It is probably faulty. If you are close to one, I suggest you take it to an Apple store for diagnosis.

Apple Wireless Keyboard Caps Lock light doesn't turn off

Hello
Recently the caps lock button light doesn't turn off on my apple wireless keyboard. Anybody know how to turn it off. Every time i press a key, the light dims a little, but when not pressed, its fully on. I tried resetting it, taking the batteries off, unpairing it. But nothing =(
hmmm

This doesn't turn off your light, but you should check out CapSee on Apple's downloads page. (www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/capsee.html) It puts a notification pane (or bezel) on the screen letting you know when you turn caps lock on and off. Looks just like the volume and brightness bezels. Very slick, and it's free.

Wireless keyboard caps lock light not working

Hey, said it all in the title but here's the story...
Got home today and realized that the caps lock LED don't light up anymore. Has anyone else had similar problems? If so, how was your situation rectified?
The keyboard still works fine, don't think its a bad enough problem to have it replaced or be without it for ages. Could see if apple will allow a straight swap at the shop...

Hi Guys
Glad I've just found these posts. Got a new 27" iMac just before Christmas. Greatly relieved that everything worked despite all the reports of cracked screens, etc. BUT - only small problem was the Caps Lock light not always coming on. Rang Apple and got a replacement. Now today I'm having same problems - first the light froze and wouldn't go off. Then it wouldn't come on. I've now tried your advice of switching off the keyboard and taking out the batteries. Works OK now. Hopefuly it'll stay that way. Only thing is - pity Apple couldn't have given me that advice. Reading these posts, there is clearly an ongoing problem with the caps lock light on the wireless keyboard. A problem thats been around for months. Clearly Apple's poilicy, as always, is to admit nothing until it comes up with a fix. Pity that policy appears to extend to not even telling their own employees that there is a problem ...

Wireless keyboard caps lock light goes out

I recently got an Apple Wireless Keyboard along with my new iMac. It seems that after a few days, the caps lock light stops coming on when it should. If i restart, the functionality comes back. Is that a software bug or a bluetooth bug, or neither? Anyone else noticing this problem?

You've posted this in the "Older Hardware Products" forum which mostly involves pre-G4 and the pre-wireless era stuff. I can't see an immediate alternative forum but I can't help think there must be a better one than this. On the other hand somebody with bluetooth, airport extreme, Intel Mac, and Leopard may wander through this museum someday and reply to your post.
Knowing nothing about wireless my question is does it lose the functionality or is it just the light going out? Weak battery (I suppose it must have a battery)?

Hi
I had the same problem and resolved it with a hard reset as follows:
1. remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter;
2. press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds;
3. plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now);
4. press the power button

Wireless Keyboard Caps Lock Problem since 2007 - unresolved

My Mac Pro wireless keyboard "caps lock" stops working - if I reinsert the batteries it will start working again for a short period of time. I've issues a case number with Mac Tec support; along with bring it into the MAC Store. This issues has been brought to Apple's attention since 2007 and they have still NOT FIXED THE ISSUE.
Any suggestions???

Grant:
My Mac Pro (10.6.8) is set for automatic updates; and, I even check periodically prior to reminder. I also was at the PeachMac Store yesterday and they, too, checked and my updates are up-to-date. If you have a "patch" that can fix this - neither they nor myself are aware of it. There are multiple, and I mean multiple complaints out there over the internet on this very issue dating back to 2007. Is there a "patch" that should be utilized on my MAC that didn't come across with the updates?

Lumia 1020 focus assist light wont turn off

I have the same problem, I tested everything, hard reset, soft reset, using recovery tool to back to Cyan version, still the light is ON.. what is tyhe problem, it is ridicolous that Microsoft/ Nokia do not give an answer to this problem as many users have the same problem........

Hi, alekswithkz. Just to verify, when you say hard reset, do you mean: Settings>About>Reset? If yes, you can try to download and use the Nokia Software Recovery Tool before considering sending the phone for repair.

Note: The link is from Nokia US. If you are in another country, feel free to download the app from your local Nokia website.
If the issue remains, it's best to have it examined by an authorized Nokia technician. This will also determine if the repair will be covered under warranty. Warranty period starts on the date of purchase. Please bring your receipt for warranty verification.

2009 Aluminum Keyboard caps lock light not functioning

Greetings:
I bought my wireless keyboard in February 2010 and it works but lately the caps lock light has not been coming on when I hit the caps lock key. I took it to a local Apple Specialist to try to figure out what is going on and it of course worked when he paired it to his machine.
I got it back home and re-paired it to my mini (2009 2.25 mhz intel) and it worked for the day... now it is not functioning again. I unpaired the keyboard and re-paired it again and the light functions again for the time being. But if it holds to pattern, tomorrow it will be non-functioning again.
I have the latest update for the keyboard installed and I am at Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on the system.
It appears that if the keyboard goes to sleep, this phenomenon happens. Any ideas?

I think that re-pairing the keyboard does essentially the same thing as restarting the machine would do with regards to resetting the keyboard. I did replace the batteries today just to see if that would help. -- so far, the light is working still and the keyboard has been asleep for a couple of hours since I replaced the batteries. They showed 81% when I replaced them this morning.
I would like to know if this is a common problem. The keyboard always works, just the caps lock light stops working which is annoying for me because I tend to hit it by accident and the light is a good way to see that I did, in fact, hit the key.
I am marking the question as answered, but hopefully someone has a real fix for it, or Apple has a new firmware update coming soon

Wireless keyboard caps lock issue (not LED related)

i just bought an iMac last week and I'm having a weird issue with caps locks. It seems like that particular key needs to be pressed harder than the rest of the keys to register a keystroke. If I hit it lightly, the key will depress but the keystroke won't register and the LED light won't come on. Any other key, even if I hit it very lightly, as long as it was pressed down, the keystroke is registered,
I found the right amount of force where I can press it down like 10 times and it won't register the keystrokes at all. When I'm typing fast, I'll have to go back to capitalize almost 80% of the letter that need capitalizing even though I hit the caps lock key while I was typing. All the "I"s, the first letters of every sentence and the first letters of proper names.
I've had plenty of keyboards, some wireless and I've never had this issue, nor have I had it on my Macbook. I'm just wondering if this is how it was designed to work or if I have a faulty keyboard that I need to go and replace.

BT Keyboard Caps Lock Light

Under iOS 7, the Caps Lock light on the Apple BT keyboard no longer works. Pairing it with an iOS 6 device makes it work again. What did Apple do to break this?

It's a compatability issue with the new iOS. The Apple Wireless Keyboard isn't actually made for iOS devices, but the compatability was added later early in iOS 6. It's not officially supported which is probably why it wasn't included in the initial rollout, but it's likely something they'll fix once they have all the security/performance bugs worked out.

You might consider zapping your PRAM.
