Can't get my number pad to work - No Num Lock

Hello,
I recently got my iMac with the wireless keyboard and noticed that I can not get my number pad to work. There is no num lock button to turn on/off, just the clear button. Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks

Hope it works for you.
My numeric keypad doesn't work
The way the numeric keypad works depends on your computer, the keyboard you're using, the application you're working in, and whether the Num Lock key is engaged. Usually, the numeric keypad is used to enter numbers in a document, but in some applications you might be able to use the keypad to navigate (move around in) your document.
Press the Num Lock key to switch between the ways the numeric keypad functions.
If you have a separate numeric keypad on your keyboard, the Num Lock key is located in the numeric keypad. If you're using a portable computer, the Num Lock is a function key, marked Num Lock (F6). If your keyboard has a separate keypad but no Num Lock key, try pressing Shift-Clear.
Most portables have a group of keys on the keyboard that can function as the numeric keypad. To find the keypad, look for small numbers or symbols in the lower-right corner of keys on the right side of your keyboard. Press the Num Lock key (F6) to turn on the keypad. The green light glows on the Num Lock key when the keypad is active.

  • Can't get SAP logon pad to work.

    I've tried installing the latest version of SAP on a PC running XP, and got this error when I double click on the SAP logon pad:
    C:\Program Files\SAP\SapSetup\setup\SAL\saplgpad.s8l
    This action is only valid products that are currently installed.
    This PC may have had an older version of SAP that was not properly uninstalled.  I've tried reinstall the new version several times.  I tried a registry cleaner after removing SAP, but that did help either.  Any other suggestions?  Thanks.

    Hi Mark
    Kindly check the Microsoft dot-net frame work. because some of the same Sap application require to install the latest Dotnet frame work.

  • I cant get the number pad on the right side of my wired keyboard to work

    i cant get the number pad on the right side of my wired keyboard to work. when i puch a key, my computer will either freeze or it will do nothing. Plz help me. My mac is an Intel-based mac, Running off of Mac OS X 10.4.10, not the one made out of aluminum. what should i do?

    Hi, it's the old favorites - Repair Permissions, Run OnyX Maintenance App. Reboot, reset Keyboard/ Mouse settings, run Tech Tool. Try another usb keyboard on the mac or try your k/b on another computer (laptop or desk) - If have AppleCare - Call Apple. You can get a new KensingtonMac USB K/B for around $30.00 online..L

    Thanks.
    I'll change it now. I just realized it sounds rough, but I was mad because I couldn't get it work, it isn't anyone's fault, sorry
    EDIT: I got it to work at an usable state! By using the 8192cu driver on the AUR and the suggestions in the comments about disabling power-save, I got it to be usable. It now has up to 8% packet loss, not 30-40% like before, and the ping spikes are now 300-400 ms and less frequent, not 1000-1200ms. It's not working really well but now I can at least surf the web. Thank you all for the patience.
    EDIT 2: after testing more I realized it still disconnects every few seconds when I'm far from the AP. However, when connected, I still have very strong signal. If I use it on windows or another distro it doesn't disconnect. I tried compiling the driver from realtek by myself using the istructions in the second post but I don't know how to fix some compile errors, so I decided I'll stick with my usb dongle. Maybe someone will find a better solution.

  • How do I set the number pad to work with spaces?

    It has worked with other OSs but with Mavericks 10.9.5 (and from what I here, Yosemite) you can not use the number pad to change spaces. I know I can use the numbers across the top or the arrows, I just find it quicker and ergonomic to use the number pad. As many spaces I use this is very inconvenient to be reaching across the keyboard. Is there a way to fix this. I went to the preferences but could not find anything there to change. Maybe Apple could fix this in there next update.

    Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 12. Logged in and can not get serial number. Says it is incorrect. Going in circles.

    Can't get serial number for Photoshop Elements. I'm logged in. I have a redemption code and also codes on the back of the box. nothing works and am running in circles. I want to install and use it and can't because I can't get the correct serial number. On the front of the box it says use the card (with redemptiom code to receive the serial number.HELP!!!

    Dear Brian,
    I activated my product in August of 2014.  I had it a few months, October, when my computer crashed.  Therefore I had to go back to Adobe tell them what happened, and then until December I had noticed that it said that I had a trial copy.  I was not worried, as I had the serial number.  it was working, but in January I got a message that my "trial" copy had expired. 
    At that time I had contacted Adobe and was told that because it was beyond the 3 months, they would no longer help me.
    Therefore, at one point, when the computer crashed, I had not deactivated the program.  But Adobe had gotten it working for me again. 
    I do not know what happened between October and December to have changed the software from a real copy to a trial copy.
    Now to your patient questions.
    As you wrote, that is what happens to the point of getting the trial copy, but when I follow the process through, I get a message that my "trial copy has expired".    When I go the the editor, the whole process loops again, sign in, trial copy, licence page, add serial number, then the message that the trial has expired.
    When I got that message the first few times months ago, I went back to the Adobe web site and downloaded another copy.  (I have done this numerous times)  It still said that I had a trial copy and that it had expired, there is a box to licence this software, when I click that, I have to sign in again, This time I also had gone to the Adobe web site signed in and left it open, while I put in the serial number, hoping that would help (have also tried that before).  It waits and then the Editor/Organized box comes up again.  When I go to the Editor, it tells me that this is a trial copy which has expired and it starts all over again.
    I was so frustrated, that I waited a couple of months to try it again.   The thinking was that there was some glitch that would work it self out and I could again  down load a clean copy of the original, not a trial.  (I do not know how I keep getting a trial copy of PSE 12, as it is not even offered on the site.)
    The crazy thing is this morning when I turned on my computer, I had an update for the Adobe PSE 12 and Camera Raw.  Probably because I had downloaded a copy again. 
    When I go the the web site to down load a copy of the PSE !2, I am doing it from the My accounts/ products page and downloads.  I have left the web page open to copy the serial number from that page, although it always matches my notes. 
    ThanksT

  • I have a MacBook, made in 2010. I can't get the eject function to work. I have a DVD in now and want to eject it and put another one in. Command-E, dragging it to the trash or Find-Eject does not work. Ideas?

    Hi there. Hear are some other options . Hold down for click on the track pad while restarting and keep it down all the way thru boot. Or use right click on a mouse. If it's stuck, sometimes sticking a business card in top edge of slot while trying the eject option can work.

  • Cisco ISE 1.2 keyboard number pad not working in CLI

    I cant get a keyboard number pad to work in ISE 1.2 when accesing via the SSH CLI.  NumLock makes no difference and changing settings in my Putty session doesnt make any difference either.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Have you tried to ssh into the router and then ssh into the ISE node? Are you running this on a vm or is this an appliance, by any chance is this the UCS appliance, try accessing the console port through CIMC if possible.
    Thanks,
