Can't sign in (user id); keyboard has keys that do not work (can't type password)

After about 20 days of inactivity, I went so sign in to my MacBook.  I selected my user id, and the password box comes up.  I cannot type in my password, because it contains the key "M".  "M" is no longer working on my keyboard.  So I am not sure if the keyboard or the actual user id is the problem.
Any ideas?

  • Keyboard modifier key remap suddenly not working

    I am using a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). I use a third-party USB keyboard that is laid out (naturally) Windows-style, with the Alt keys inside (closer to the space bar than) the “Windows logo” keys. I use the Modifier Keys button in the Keyboard preference panel to remap these to the standard Mac configuration, with the Command keys on the inside and the Option keys on the outside.
    Today those modifier keys are suddenly reversed back to the default Windows layout. The Keyboard panel still shows my preferred (remapped) configuration, but it is not being honored. I have tried reverting to the default layout and then back again, I have rebooted the system, nothing works—the modifier keys are still stuck in the Windows configuration. I rely heavily on keyboard macros in my work, most of which use the modifier keys, and those keystrokes are built into my fingers as second nature. The reversed modifier keys are driving me crazy. Please help: what can I do to make the keyboard honor my settings in the Keyboard preference panel?

    Same problem here. Been working fine for a couple years and now suddenly the modifier key mapping is being ignored.

  • HT3529 How can I remove my Apple ID from a phone that is not working? I cannot text anyone with Iphone because the Apple ID and IMSG

    My IPhone broke yet again due to "known issues", so I am back to an android. But, I cannot text anyone who has an IPhone, had this issue previously and Apple nor my carrier helped out. I have removed my number on Apple.com, as told by my carrier which doesn't help. Also, the IPhone did a factory reset by itself and cannot get past the plug in with itunes screen, and the phone will not stay on when plug it into a computer.

    You need to immediately change the password for the Apple ID, for starters. If have iCloud and Find My iphone enabled on the device you can remotely wipe the device. If you do not then there is nothing you can do except change the password for the account.

  • Touch Screen on iPhone has sections that do not work

    All of a sudden my iPhone touch screen quit working in an area close to the top of the screen. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do to fix this?

    I have a first generation iphone that all the sudden would not respond to any touch on the home screen, but would respond to powering off. It would also respond to the ipod play menu on the lock screen. Because my iphone is out of warranty I descide to get the 3g iphone and just my luck as soon as I go to play with my new toy it does not respond and when it does respond it does what it wants to. If i push settings it wants notes. I have to slide my finger up and to the right in the middle of the screen in order to turn the thing off. Hopefully my luck changes to good when I try to get them replaced.

  • I bought a new iphone in miami that does not work, how can i get it repaired by apple?

    I live in Argentina. I bought a new iphone 3gs unlocked on January 20th, 2012, in Aventura Mall in Miami, Florida. I arrived in Buenos Aires last Saturday, 28th, turned it on, and it never worked. It shuts down, and freezes for long periods of time, strange things appear on the screen, basically, it DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.
    I want to give it back, and get my money back, but there's no contact mail, or telephone I can call from Argentina. There are only 1-800 telephone numbers which I cannot use from here. Also, there is no official Apple Store or Repair Centre here in Buenos Aires.
    I call to the Aventura Apple Store and a machine answers me, and does not re-direct my call to a repair centre or support centre.
    I find no way to contact Apple regarding my problem. It seems I could only contact them if I lived in USA.
    I can't believe I have bought an Apple product that does not work, and that I cannot claim to anybody. I have no way of asking for a replacement.
    Thanks for your help.

    This is the way of Apple all over the world, Their toll free telephone numbers for AppleCare support are all country specific.  Apple does not provide an international support number anywhere.

  • How can I find out user id who has deleted payment order

    Issue : After payment run, the required information has been sent as Idoc to the bank. So, we know the payment order number.   We observed that another payment run also has picked up this vendor invoice and made payment.
    Usually Payment Sent will be marked X until the related information comes in the form of bank statement upload and this amount gets cleared.
    We noticed that bank has made two payments for this amount to this vendor on different dates :- a) when the payment order supposed to be paid as per the payment terms and b) when second paymnet run paid the amount [ this time it got paid directly as there is long due amount ].
    From SAP APP angle, both the payment run worked fine and also the calcaltion of payment terms as well.
    So, we come to conculsion that someone has deleted the payment order from the system. Thats the reason this invoice got picked up by 2nd APP and paid the amount.
    Where we could not find the related entry in REGUH/REGUP tables for this payment order and no document changes.
    Question: How can I find out user id who has deleted payment order. Appreciate any clue / answer for this issue please.
    Thank you
    Sri

    Hello,
    Not sure about deletion logs. =/
    Idea:
    What if an error occured during the first payment? Have you checked sm13 to check if any update termination occured in the payment program?

    Try a soft-reset and see if it works after your phone has restarted (it seems ot have fixed the error for a number of people on here) : 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 equivalent of a reboot.

    Yes, my telco is an approved carrier. If my phone was brand new, I think so, they opened it in front of me.. I really couldn't remember it was 1.4 years ago. It did seem new.
    Well it says, "_____" cannot be used to unlock this iphone. I've tried both my apple ids but it didn't work.

  • I created new apple id but can't sign in to itunes. It says that your id is not yet loged in so you have to review. In revies it shows payment method in which I provide full info of my visa card but it shows that the pin is incorrect

    Hi there,
         I created new apple id but can't sign in to itunes. It says that your id is not yet loged in so you have to review. In revies it shows payment method in which I provide full info of my visa card but it shows that the pin is incorrect although the pin is correct. If I try another card no then it shows that your payment method is declined. What should I do?????

    Is it asking for a PIN (for a debit card) or the three-digit number on the back of the card (for a credit card)?

    What do you mean when you say "can't sign into iTunes"? Does it say your username/password is incorrect, does it ask for your security questions?

  • Number 4 on my wireless keyboard is not working can someone please help

    number 4 on my wireless keyboard is not working can someone please help

    You do know with absolute certainty he, that the mic does not work at all? Have you tried recording a video with sound to test to make sure that the microphone isn't working?
    if you have tried recording a video with sound and that did not work, have you tried any troubleshooting steps at all? Have you looked to see if there is any debris covering the mic? Or do you have a cover that could be interfering with the microphone?
    you can start with a reset of the iPad if you haven't done anything else. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time, for about 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears on the screen. When you see the Apple logo on the screen, you can let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up. Try the microphone after the iPad starts up again.
    You could try restoring the iPad to factory settings and see if that recovers the microphone for you.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    It is also possible that you could have a hardware issue which you will not be able to resolve on your own. If you cannot find any other way to get the microphone to work you may end up having to take it to an Apple store and let an Apple genius evaluate the device.
