Arrows and page up/down keys don't work (also not in previous version)

Arrow and page up/down keys don't work. Problem started a fe2w months ago; upgraded to Beta but it made no difference. Sorry to report that they work fine in Internet Explorer but i DO NOT want to switch. Thanks!

IU'm curious if this is a 'getting used to Macs' issue;
I'm on my first Mac [and OS X] as well, and to
me tthese friggin keys "don't work" either.
That is, they do not do anything useful, like
go to the start or end of a text field. The
keys do function, though. Home goes to the start
of a document, and end goes to the end. Seems
silly to me; how often do you go to the start
or end of a document, versus the start or end
of a line? Two points off your usability rating,
Apple
Anyways, if this [the keys doing different things
under Mac] is the issue, see if Apple-Left Arrow
and Apple-Right Arrow do what you're expecting
Home and End to do.

Pause, back, and fwd (F6-8) keys don't work with iTunes. [Windows 7 64-bit]

All my other F# keys work (I can adjust the screen brightness, adjust the volume...etc) but my Pause (F8), Back (F7) and Fwd (F9) keys don't work with iTunes. Though they DO work with Windows Media Player.
How can I get them to work with iTunes?
I'm using Windows 7 64-bit on a macbook pro.

Same problem here.

Page Up and Page Down keys don't work Apple Aluminum Wired Keyboard MB110LL/A

I have a keyboard with page up and page down keys (along with home, end and arrow keys). These keys don't do nothing.
How can I enable the use of such keys?

Page up & page down keys don't work in Preview

why don't the Page Up and Page Down keys on an extended (Apple) keyboard work in Preview? very annoying. only the up-down arrows seem to work, and only one line at a time. i'd like to jump whole pages, or something close to that. if anyone knows a keyboard shortcut please let me know. i've tried the usual suspects.. shift-up/down arrow seems to maybe jump a few lines at a time, but not enough.
macbook pro 15, os x 10.7.5, preview 5.5.3.

Even the menu item for Go | Down doesn't work.
Page up works for me, though.
Weird.

Bug report: Fn+Delete and Fn+Up/Dn keys don't work in SR MacBook Boot Camp

Fn + Delete does NOT do a forward delete in Boot Camp as its supposed to do on my Windows XP Home SP2 running installed on a new Santa Rosa 2.2GHz MacBook. Neither does Fn + Up/Down do PgUp/Dn, but Fn + Return DOES do Insert, so this isn't a bad Fn key.
This bug appears to be related to the new SR MacBook release. Two other SR MB owners besides me have reported this problem at:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=4508558
Has anyone else had positive or negative experiences using Fn + Delete on Santa Rosa MacBooks in Boot Camp?

Actually I didn't trash Boot Camp, it never populated in the tray after the install. Moreover, the thing i destroyed was the MacHDD from the desktop and from the Go Finder listing and want to get that puppy back
Boot Camp is running just that the F keys other than F3 are not functional nor is the Eject key . . PLUS . . as I say there is no tap to click, not two finger scrolling, and no 3 or 4 finger functions operational features.
Please help!

Firefox homepage is frozen to a web site about:blank and page update or bookmarks don't work?

I believe that I have a homepage hijack problem? I have Macafee installed and running but I didn't receive any security warnings. This problem only involves firefox and not internet explorer or chrome. I have run virus scans from macafee and spybot and reinstalled firefox several times but still get lock into a homepage called about:blank

I have tried this but it doesn't correct the problem. Even when I make these changes firefox still goes to the black page About:blank and all features of firefox are frozen. I have done a google search on about:blank which is called a homepage hijack virus or some type of spyware?

Keys don't work with firefox 5.0

I uploaded Firefox 5.0 and now the Home, End, Page Dn/Up keys don't work! I need these on eBay. The arrow keys now send you all the way to the top or bottom of the page with no stops in between. I really hate it when you guys change things; there was nothing wrong with the previous version. Now I have to use Internet Explorer. Boo.

No but what I have is on my this page at the top. (see profile for more pages)

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")

Down arrow and contrast down keys no longer work properly

I've had this problem with my Yoga 2 Pro for a while now, and it's really frustrating. My down arrow key and brightness down key don't always work. Sometimes they both work fine; that's ok. However, sometimes both of them will simultaneously stop working for a while, and then out of the blue resume working just fine. It always happens as a pair; either they both work or they both don't. I'm running Windows 8.1 with all the latest drivers and BIOS. A support rep told me this was a Windows 8.1 problem; I don't quite buy that. Does anyone know what's causing this or how I can fix it? Thank you.

Ah, the joy of working with computers...:( Apparently, from my woes with the same problem, the Apple Keyboard Manager is rightfully entered into the Run directory in the Windows registry at HKLM/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Run.
Why it doesn't start I still have to find out, but this may be because I have Parallels Workstatio installed as well and switch back between a virtualized Windows and a Bootcamp Windows. However, after installing Bootcamp 2.1 first and then SP3 IN THE BOOTCAMP ENVIRONMENT everything seems to work, except the Energy Options taskbar icon and Apple Keyboard Manager.
Will keep you posted on any progress I make.
Apple Support, BTW, was absolutely abysmal, with them even refusing to accept the ticket at all, on the grounds that they have no knowledge about Windows. Apple, get your support fixed!

Tabulation and arrow keys don�t work through ssh

Hi!
I just got a solaris 10 on a v240. But I loggin through SSH, tabulation key and arroy keys don� t work. It � s quite nasty because I cannot just repeat a command for example, I�ve to type it allover again. I� m quite surprised because I have an old solaris where it does work without problem. Should I change something in the configuration?
Thanks

Is your shell one that you want?
csh and sh don't support autocompletion or arrow histories. you'd need tcsh or bash or something.

[Solved]Keyboard layout screwed up and some keys don't work

After I reinstalled xorg-server 1.5.3-1 and installed xf86-input-evdev 2.0.1-1 and xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.1-1 some of my keys don't work and keyboard layout screwed up. I had finnish (fi) layout, but now it's "us". Arrows, insert- delete- home- end- pg up- pg down- print screen- scroll lock- pause- keys don't work. All characters behind Alt Gr + "" don't work either.
How to fix this?

Dreamweaver CS6: Page navigation keys don't work in Files window (Mac)

Hi all,
The home, end, page up and page down buttons don't work in the Files window of Dreamweaver CS6 on Mac OS X 10.7.3.
They did work in any previous version of Dreamweaver.
I wonder if anyone else experiences the same issue?
It was very handy - and is expectd behavior - and hope Adobe can restore this functionality.
Thanks,
Leo

Have you tried updating to 10.7.4?

Hooked up my PS/2 keyboard and now the up and down volumns don't work

hooked up my PS/2 keyboard (it has been in storage awhile) and now the up and down volumns don't work

I did this myself recently while playing around with the settings - go to System Preferences and in there somewhere will be a setting saying - " use all function keys as standard function keys" or something like that. You need to deslect or say "no" and then it will work as it used to!
