Can't sign in because many keys on keyboard not working

Am able to enter first four letters of my password but when i type the fifth = nothing happens.  Nothing happens with the keys starting with Q and ending with O.
(P works) None of the numbers except 0 work..

A harmless bit of voodoo to try is
Resetting NVRAM
and
Resetting the System Management Controller
But, chances are, your keyboard or related electronics is broken and needs to be taken in for repair.

    Not much you can do.  Bring it to Apple for evaluation.

  • Keys on keyboard not working.

    Greetings all, we are having trouble with several keys on our keyboard not working. First it started with the ENTER (non numpad) key not working, shortly followed by the TAB and CAPS LOCK key.
    Any clues as to what caused this and how to fix it? It's the keyboard that came with the iMac. I've already tried unplugging it and plugging it back in.
    Thanks.

    None of my left-hand-side modifier keys work (escape button right down to the control button)... problem started when i was using adobe indesign cs3 and now those keys work in any program.
    I am having a similar problem, although in my case these keys do not work in conjunction with the "W" key. For example, command-W only works with the right-hand command key, and to turn "w" into "W" I must use the shift key on the right-hand side as well. This machine is less than a week old, and I have Adobe CS2 installed. Have you found any soulutions?

  • L420 Several number keys on keyboard not working (except 5 and 6)

    Hi there,
    I am having some troubles with the keyboard of my L420. All the numbers (except 5 and 6) and F9 to F12, Insert and Delete are not working.
    I found several threads with people describing the same problem (all numbers except 5 and 6 not working) but no solutions yet.
    I have tried a System Restore, uninstall the keyboard, and an external keyboard. The numbers do not work neither when running Ubuntu nor in BIOS.
    The problem first occured when I woke my laptop from Sleep and tried to enter my password. After using the onscreen keyboard, I was able to login and the numbers worked again. Then after restarting, the numbers stopped working even in Windows running.
    I would appreciate any help on this problem. Can someone exclude that it is a hardware problem because 5 and 6 are working? I did not spill anyng on or damage the keyboard.
    Thank you very much in advance!

    Maybe this would work.
    Kind regards
    Use the Keyboard Viewer to test whether the keyboard keys are responding correctly when they are pressed.
    1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Language & Text from the View menu (or International from the View menu in Mac OS X v10.5 or earlier).
    2. Select Input Sources.
    3. Select the Keyboard & Character Viewer checkbox.
    4. Enable the input source for the keyboard layout you are testing by selecting the checkbox next to it.
    5. Make sure that "Show Input menu in menu bar" is enabled.
    6. Choose Show Keyboard Viewer from the Input menu in the menu bar, as shown.
    7. The Keyboard Viewer shows the keyboard layout.
    8. Type the key on the keyboard that doesn’t respond and observe whether the corresponding key highlights on the Keyboard Viewer. If it does, that particular key is functioning correctly. In the sample shown above the shift and command keys are being pressed.
    9. If the mouse keys feature in the Universal Access System Preferences pane is enabled, many of the keyboard keys may not respond as expected.
    10. Try starting up into single user mode to determine whether a software issue is causing the issue.

  • Some keys on keyboard not working.

    Hello,
    I´ve pushed lots of buttons at the same time on accident. and now for some reason, some keys are not responding. I´m pretty sure it´s not broken cause i didn´t push it hard, just a normal push.
    ? button is not working
    : button is not working
    1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9 keys on the right side of the keyboard are not working. (258 working fine)
    it´s pretty strange because when i pushed a lot of buttons it weren´t those buttons on the right side of the keyboard. i didn´t even touch them.
    So i think i did an keycombination on accident or something. It also has nothing to do with the language of the keyboard cause that´s all fine.
    I´ve tried the keyboard on my macbook, mac pro and even a windows pc. it does the same thing on all 3 computers.
    It´s an apple wired usb keyboard.
    Does anyone know a solution?

    i don't think it's damaged, i just pushed a few buttons at the same time, i don't think that can give damage to your keyboard. its not like i slammed it. i just pushed it slightly, if that means it can be damaged then it already would be broken because i type on it every day.
    I can understand your frustration.  But there is no way any key combo you might have done would affect more than one computer.  I suggest you take it to an Apple store or other shop for them to test.

  • Z key on keyboard not working

    Recently cleaned my keyboard with a multi-surface cleaner and cloth (which I now realise was a bad idea). Initially the Z key would stick, but now the Z key doesn't work at all. To resolve this I have flipped the key off and cleaned thoroughly with 99.7% pure Isopropanol. I have also done the obvious disconnect/reconnect the keyboard, powered the Mac off and back on.
    It's a Mac Bluetooth keyboard, and I know I could but a new one for £40-50 on eBay but I wondered if anyone had any other suggestions, or if anyone knows if Apple offer a keyboard repair service (my apple care product expired on 28th Feb and they want to charge me £25 just to ask that question).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    If this is a self administered problem, your Apple care would not have covered you any way.   Apple specifically advise you not to clean the keyboard with a liquid.   I do understand why you did what you did but it seems to me that the initial problem was caused by the multi surface cleaner, whatever that was.   I guess it could have been a small piece of grit initially.
    Apple do not have any kind of exchange arrangements or a keyboard repair service unless you were able to take it to an authorised Apple dealer, where they would certainly look at it.
    Sorry to seem so negative but the rule is Electronics and Liquids do not happily live together.

  • Help! Keys on keyboard not working!

    A few days ago I spilled hot wax onto the keyboard of my macbook. I wiped it off as best I could, and everything was working fine! however, yesterday my "t" and "f" keys stopped working, and now other ones are stopping to. I am able to get them to work by pulling off the keys and wiggling the rubber pusher a bit, which fixes it for a while. They also seem to work as long as I hold down on the key for a bit or try pushing it in different places. This is obviously annoying, and I am wondering how i might (cheaply) fix this?
    Thank you!

    Contact Apple using expresslane.apple.com if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store or service provider to ask for an estimate.

  • When trying to sign in to iCloud from my PC I get the message "You can't sign in because of a server error"

    When trying to sign in to iCloud from my PC I get the message "You can't sign in because of a server error".
    This happens on both my Lap Top and Desk Top computers both running Windows 7.

    I also have the same problem. I've tried all fixes listed in other forums and nothing works. Running windows Vista 32 bit. Any working solutions yet? Tried every solution listed for the cmd prompt. Turned off antivirus and spyware. Rebooting about 100 times. Nothing works.

  • Just got new air and trying to set up. When I put in my Apple ID and password it comes up with error message 'can't sign in because of server error. Try again signing on.' Trying again does not fix. I know my ID and PW are right as work on other devices.
