Can I have my HDX18 Notebook w Vista SP1 make a sound when I press the caps lock key?

I was able to do this with an older HP laptop running Windows XP. Cant find any info in "Help" or User manuals.

Hi, Warren - There used to be several small apps that let you remap the Caps Lock and other keys by assigning their functions to other keys that you may not use very often. There is a freeware app at the moment called DoubleCommand, for example, which allows you to assign the backslash key (\) to function as forward delete, instead of pushing fn + Delete. I don't know if any Tiger apps are able to reassign Caps Lock, but what I was mentioning above is that if you wanted, you could assign the Caps Lock function to the Control, Option or Command keys through the Keyboard pane in System Preferences. (I didn't mean that as a suggestion, though. I just meant to say that it was possible.)
Glad the first tip was helpful to you!
Good luck.

When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. I can get a capital i only by pressing the cap lock key whats wrong.

When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. the only way I can get a capital i is by using the caps lock key what is going on. Also from time to time my mouse acts like someone is sitting on it. this stops when i press the command key. i am using the lateist wireless mouse and keypad.

does it only happen with the i key?
if it doesnt then try presing shift first then i (or any key) second instead of at the same time.
if it only happens with the i key then what i would do is take the keyboard and mouse to an apple store and ask them if they will hook it up on their computer to see if it is the keyboard or computer.

HP G72-B6OUS Notebook - the "caps lock" key

the "caps lock" key has come off the keyboard. how can i have it put back on the keyboard or where can i take it
to have the notebook keyboard fixed???

Hey arkay71,
If the key isn't completely broken, it should snap back in. Depending on the model of your notebook, it may or may not have a small metal bar that acts as a guide. Make sure to align that with the 2 hooks on both sides of the key slot, then snap it into place. If the key doesn't have a metal bar, then it should just snap it - make sure everything is lined up before you do.
If the key is broken, and the tabs are missing or no longer snap into place, then you'll have to contact HP support for a replacement keyboard: 800-474-6836

I want you to change the keyboard and if you have got the warranty please replace at no charge.

Front of iPhone4 makes clicking sound when I press it? Can it be fixed?

The screen of my iPhone 4 has started making a clicking sound when I press on the front during normal use. Can this be fixed easily?

Since you are still in the warranty period, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have it checked. The clicks are not loud, but should be audible.
Ciao.

I suddenly have two flashing lights on my keyboard by the caps lock key and over the end/pg up key.

I encountered a problem waking my laptop (Pavilion dv7-1270us) this morning. At first it would not wake up and had to do a hard reboot. Now I have two flashing lights on the keyboard -the caps lock light and the one over the end/pg up keys over the number pad. I have run several diagnostics and cannot find an answer as to what this is.
This question was solved.

My MacBook Pro keeps on randomly scrolling on webpages, putting several spaces when I don't press the spacebar and only sometimes makes a space when I press the spacebar. Why is it doing this? Do I have a virus?

I am currently struggling to write this due to my very erratic spacebar. When I press it, it only creates a space about two thirds of the time. When I don't press it, it creates spaces, often several, in the middle of words. This is incredibly annoying and time consuming when writing. If I'm on iTunes or DVD player, it means the media is constantly stopping and starting.
When I am on webpages they will often scroll straight to the bottom, and when I try to scroll back up it won't allow me to and the screen will look like it's jumping, like my instruction for it to scroll up is fighting against an external instruction forcing it down. This 'fighting' effect is also seen with the spacebar issue when it makes several spaces and I press backspace to try and delete the spaces.
I have a MacBook Pro bought in July 2012 using Mac OS X 10.7.5. I use ESET Cybersecurity, which hasn't identified any viruses. I have deleted all internet downloads that aren't from well-known websites, yet the problem persists. It has been happening on and off for about a week, during which time I have turned the computer on and off many times, though today it has been far worse than before. I am worried I have a virus, though can't seem to locate one.
Please, if you can shed any light on the situation, please do! I'm not a techy person at all, so there may be a very obvious reason and solution for this, in which case I apologise for this waste of time. Still, any help would be very very appreciated, thank you!

How can I disable the Caps Lock key

I find it is too easy to accidentally activate Caps Lock. Is there a way to disable this key? I am using an Apple wireless keyboard and an iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.6

Hi Jim
System Preferences - Keyboard - Keyboard (not the shortcuts) - Modifier Keys...
set caps lock to 'no action' - you can do that for each keyboard listed in the drop-down above.

I use a French bluetooth keyboard how do i lock the numbers for doing calculations? Does anybody know? i.e. the numbers are above the top row of keys and you have to use the shift key to access them. You can't use the cap lock key to lock the numbers.

When I try to call voicemail it says it has not been possible to connect your call! But if I dial 222 it acts as if my voicemail is set up but if someone calls me it isn't!
Anyone can help me please? I'm on 'EE' network

On iPhones the setup is an OS feature.
U got to phone -> voicemail -> setup.
It'll set it up for u. But some times it doesn't let u set it up and doesn't let u access it via the iPhone voice mail feature. This is the problem.

HP Dv6z-7200 Notebook blinking caps lock key, red wifi button

I re-did the thermal paste on my computer (Dv6z-7200, AMD A10-4600m, Radeon 7670m, 6Gb RAM ) and i put it back together, and the screen does not come on, the power button lights up, the wifi key is red and then the caps lock key blinks indefinetly, and the fan comes on. Lucky for me my buddy has the same laptop so I took out the motherboard on mine and put it in his' with his' hard drive, RAM, wlan, etc. and it still didn't work. So it must be the motherboard, right? Could it be something with the BIOS? If it is the motherboard that is fried, could someone direct me to where i can get a new one? I tried the hp part surfer website, but could not find it. Thank you -Zach

Hi Nayj424,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your Compaq Presario CQ62-102TX Notebook and getting a blank or black screen on startup. Try performing a hard reset. When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices. If that does not help try to turn on the computer you start to press F11 repeatedly till the menu opens. You can do a system restore.
Hope this is helpful.
Thanks.

Why do I have to hit the Caps Lock button a few times?

Okay, I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and the fact that I have to hit the Caps Lock button two or three times to actually turn on Caps Lock is quite frustrating. My friend on MacBook Air experiences same kind of issue? Are there any people with the same problem? Is it because something is fundamentally wrong with my Mac? Can I do something about it?

Having the same issue!!! After I haven't pressed the Caps Lock button for a while, I have to press the button twice for the light to come on. Had a MBA, talked to a Apple Care representative and they said that was a defect, returned the MBA, bought a MBP and now I am having the same issue. If it's any reassurance I noticed this same issue in a notebook display at an Apple Store. I'm wondering if I not actually pressing the button hard enough each time.

TS2621 I have a gray screen on my ipad 1 when I press the mail icon. Can anyone help?

I have a gray screen on my ipad 1 when I press the mail icon. This situation just started this morning. Can anyone help?

Try closing the Mail app via the taskbar and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
