Keys on the Keyboard not working.

A couple keys on my keyboard are not working. The Y is one of them. Every time I click Y it makes this noise but it doesn't type Y. I know the problem is not with the hardware because I replaced the keyboard with a brand new one and it still is the same. Is there any way to fix this? Thank you very much for your time.
Take care,
Andrew

Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check what the Speech and Listening keys are; if necessary, change the setting.

Shortcut keys for the Start/End work area?

Hey guys,
Does anyone know if any shortcut keys exist for setting the Start and End points for the work area (i.e. grey bar with orange endpoints above timeline)? On a large timeline, I usually have to zoom all the way out, find it and then drag it to where I'm currently editing so I can render a small work area. If I could save some time by using shortcut keys, that'd be great!

Some of the keys on my keyboard wont work.

Hello, a few of the buttons on my Imac keyboard won't work for example the pause/play button and the volume buttons won't work and I don't know how to fix this?
Thank you.

Have you bought a new keyboard to use on a slightly older Mac? The newest keyboards need OS X 10.6.8 for full functionality.
Otherwise, go to System Preferences > Keyboard and ensure this box isn't checked;

Installed Leopard... now my Eject key on the keyboard doesnt work

Any thoughts?

Are you holing it down long enough? One of the Tiger updates made it require being held for a few seconds.

How to generate keys for the records

Hi Gurus,
can anybody explain me how to create keys for the recors while working with keymapping.

Hi Yugandher,
Is your Question pertaining to Key generation in MDM or using the Remote key for importing and syndication in MDM?
Remote Keys are system specific uniques maintained in MDM while importing source records from different source system.You need to Enable key mapping in Console and then map the <Remote key> field to the unique key in Import manager and do similar mapping in syndicator as well.
You can view the key mapping for differnt records under the Edit key mapping (context menu) right clicking on any record.
To know more on this refer the below link:

For Key generation in MDM you can use the Qualified range property of Remote system in Console for Key genearation.However these keys will be genearted only after syndication and are created and assigned within MDM and not maintained from any source remote system.
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards

Short key for copy does not work all the time now.

After I have installed the latest OSX - Yosemite, my short key for copy does not work all the time. It is infrequent how it works. I'm using the same keyboard that I have always used, my wireless logitech keyboard for mac. Please help.

I've plugged in my default mac keyboard and the short key copy still does not work.

Occasionally when filling in forms in Safari 5.1.2 certain keys on the keyboard don"t work. When I use the coma it opens up another tab.

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache folder(s):
Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
and, if there is one, the
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?

I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?

If you want to simply do a 'fresh' install (versus wiping out all of your data and doing a 'clean' install) simply boot to your Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and when the Recovery screen appears, elect to freshly install OS X.
Don't know that will solve your problem, though... did you do the 'automatic' update or download the update as a disk image (.dmg)? I wouldn't think that would be causing your problems...

What do you know, I figured out.

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?
