Arrow Keys Won't Work on Many Websites

On many game sites, the arrow keys won't work at all, so I'm not able to play. The hardware is fine, they work fine in email and Word, just not on the game sites. Do I have a setting wrong? I've checked everything (I think....)
Thanks!!!

The arrow keys are working for me in the game on http://www.ezone.com/games/jazzy/gamecode.htm. The arrow keys work slugishly for me in the game I tried on www.freeonlinegames.com/play/3350.html. The third sight seems to require registration so I did not try it.
Freeonline games was more responsive for me using Firefox, you might want to give this browser a try and see how it behaves.

The Up Arrow Key Won't Work!

Whenever I try to use the up arrow key on my MBP, it doesn't respond. For example, on any application I use, it won't work. But, for some reason, whenever I play Empire At War, it works perfectly.
What should I do?

To be honest there is a lengthy process involved. If you are able to call APPLE support. try that. If not let me know and I will continue.

Hi, are you still having problems with this?

Down arrow key won't work

Hello!
Here is my situation:
I'm working in a Flash-based courseware environment.
Basically, has anyone encounted a situation where the down arrow key (or any key for that matter) will work on someones computer, and not work on someone elses computer? We use various methods to navigate through our courseware, most of which are clicks, but the down arrow key is used fairly often. But unfortunately, despite our best efforts, this key often does not work on clients computers. We've tried swapping out different keyboards, no luck.
We do not have the source files for the Flash, it is auto-generated by the tool we are using (which is similar to captivate, camtasia, etc).
Any thoughts?

Are you using the same browser consistently throughout testing? Sometimes browsers are the issue for such problems and not the hardware itself

Page Up and Down keys won't work - have tried everything

My Page Up and Down keys won't work. I've tried hitting F7, the Fn key, checked that the "Always use cursor keys to navigate" box is not selected in the Advanced Options tab and made sure that the "Use autoscrolling" tab is selected. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox, tried hitting buttons F1 through to F12 and then checked that accessibility.warn_on_browsewithcaret is set to 'true'.
It also won't work in Internet Explorer - I have no idea what else to try. My Up/Down arrows are working, just not the Page Up/Page Down buttons. Please help, this is driving me nuts. It's only just started happening; I've never had a problem with it before!

What is the value of the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.browsewithcaret accessibility.browsewithcaret] on the about:config page?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Some of the shortcut keys and directional keys on the keyboard are not working in FF 4 RC1 (i.e. Tab, Ctrl+C, arrow keys). They work fin in FF 3.6x and other applications.

Crtl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X, Tab, and arrow keys do not work at all in FF4.0b13 and later. I am not sure about earlier versions as this is the first version I have tried.

I found this helpful article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1381) and worked my way through the section "Some keys don't work as expected".
All the following functions/settings are disabled or turned off:
Text to speech / Speak selected text when the key is pressed
Slow Keys
Mouse Keys.
The keyboard viewer just confirms my list of keys that are not working.
Starting in safe mode makes no difference; nor does booting from the Mac OS X Install Disc and running Terminal from the Utilities menu. The same keys as before fail to work.
This seems to confirm that it's a hardware issue. Anyone have any suggestions?

HT1379 Some keys won't work?

What causes some of my keys not to work?

You'll need to provide some additional information .... what keys won't work, what is running on the system when that happens, does it only happen after an event, like waking from sleep or ? If you reboot or shut your system down and restart does that fix it for some period of time?

Presumably you are connecting it from the *Dock Connector.* In this case, the controls on the car stereo should be controlling the iPod and the iPod's controls are disabled.
If you are using the car's connection interface, consult the car manual to find out how to control the iPod. If you are using an adaptor between the iPod and car, ask the adaptors installer or manufacturer.

I purchased a new keyboard and the volume keys won't work now. How can I fix this?

I recently purchased a keyboard, with the numbers to the side, and now the volume keys won't work on the keyboard. Do I need to reset something?

MacBook Pro up arrow key does not work how to fix it?

When I am just working on the computer the up arrow key does not work at all but when I use bootcamp to go to the PC side the arrow works so i know its not a phisical problem, i have tryed everything i know and still no success.

Hello brooklinekilla,
I would be concerned too the up arrow key on my keyboard was not working. I found an article that can assist with further isolating and troubleshooting issues with the built in keyboard. I recommend following the steps under the section titled, "Some keys don't work as expected" in the following article:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

Have new update but when i am on trying to sync I have no scroll down bar to select option on the bottom of pages so sync is not done with all i want on it. Using my arrow keys also dont work. I have deleted itunes

Have new update but when i am on trying to sync I have no scroll down bar to select option on the bottom of pages so sync is not done with all i want on it. Using my arrow keys also dont work. I have deleted itunes and reinstall but its still the same. Any ideas?

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

DW CS4 shift+arrow keys no longer work?

I use Dreamweaver a fair amount. Just recently when I want to
highlight a bunch of code while in code view, the shift + Arrow
keys no longer work. The first letter is highlighted, but as I
press the arrow a second time nothing is highlighted. This problem
is only in Dreamweaver (CS4) and not any other application. I can't
shift+UpArrow as an example.
This is something I do ALL the time while coding and now it
just stopped working.
I looked at the Keyboard Shortcuts and all the Shift+ArrowKey
are still listed so it's not that.
I looked at the Preferences and can't see anything that looks
wrong.
I have rebooted and still this issue persists.
This is ONLY in Dreamweaver and in fact only in Code view
window. If I Split the screen OR use Design view, in the design
window I can use shift+Arrow to highlight text as normal.
Any ideas????

I just saw your answer. I looked in my preferences in the Library and there is a shortcut folder, but it is totally empty. I have a funny feeling either the patch I ran from Adobe knocked it out or running "Carbon Copy" to copy one drive to the other knocked it out.
I'm wondering if there is any way I can grab a copy of this folder from somewhere else and put it back into my system. I'm on a Mac so it would have to be compatible with a Mac running Tiger.
