I CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO DISABLE MY CAPS LOCK, IF I PRESS IT,THE CAPS LOCK LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF, BUT IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY DISABLE THE CAPS LOCK, LOGGING INTO EMAILS AND WEBSITES HAS BEEN A HASSLE WITH CASE SENSITIVE PASSWORDS. PLEASE ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Sounds like a faulty keyboard. Can you beg/borrow/steal another? Any USB keyboard will work - even one from a PC!

In Lion 10.7.x I cannot disable the Lock documents for 2 weeks in Time Machine! Thus it prevents to change anything else like the system preferences or other settings. How I can disable it?

Hello, In Lion 10.7.x I cannot disable the Lock documents for 2 weeks in Time Machine! Thus it prevents to change anything else like the system preferences or other settings. All is locked. How I can disable it?

Do you mean the check box isn't enabled?
Or you remove the check but it doesn't "stick"?
Or you remove the box but documents are stil getting locked?
That setting doesn't apply to other things in System Preferences, just apps that support AutoSave and Versions. If you're having a problem with System Prefs, please clarify exactly what.

Disable caps lock stops working...

I've been using the modifier key setting to disable caps lock and it's great!
Only now after some time the caps lock key suddenly starts working as normal
I can turn it off again in system preferences and it'll work for a while, but it's so annoying that the setting won't keep.
I think this problem started appearing after the latest security update, but can't really say for sure when it started...

glote, I'm having the same problem, as well as startup items (Safari, iCal, AddressBook, Font Xplorer) not hiding themselves. It started after the 10/.6.1 upgrade. Any news on your end?

How to disable Caps Lock?

I am tired of constantly hitting the Caps Lock key by mistake. I know there is a way to disable it with a Unix command. Unfortunately, I've forgotten what it is.
Please Help.

I don't know the Unix command but if you look under *System Preferences* open Keyboard and choose *Modifier Keys*. Click on *Caps Lock Key* and change the choice to No Action. Now the caps lock key will no longer work till you need it.

Disabling Caps Lock?

I'm new to the mac world and have a brand new macbook. Coming from a linux/X-Windows background I am used to being able to remap my keyboard's functionality, or more importantly, disable particularly undesireable parts of it and I am not yet familiar enough with the MacBook to do that.
I'm trying to figure out how to disable the Caps Lock key. I rarely need to type things in upper case and when I do, I can press the shift key.
Any insights you could give me on how to accomplish that would be appreciated.
Thanks
John

Found it. System Prefs->Keyboard and Mouse->Keyboard->Modifiers

Disable caps lock key

Is there an easy way to disable the caps lock key? I keep hitting it on my Pavilion DV2z and it serves no purpose for my typical operations. Suggestions?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,3a,00,00,00,00,00
Works in XP, not sure about other versions of Windows.

Disable Caps Lock Indicator Yoga 14

I just purchased a yoga 14 with windows 8.1. I want to disable the caps lock notification and almost all of the old solutions for windows 7 do not apply because there is no "On-Screen Display" tab. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you for confirming.
This one, yes: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/yoga-series/yoga-3-1470
My apologies. I mistakenly thought that only the ThinkPad line sported a 14" Yoga.

Cannot get Caps Lock to work

I have turned on the "Caps Lock" option in my keyboard settings, but it doesn't seem to work anymore. It was working, but is not now. Any suggestions?

Ok, just wanted to check. Helped others in past that thought turning the setting on meant it made the caps button lock with just tapping once. Just wanted to be clear.
As for you saying you reset...mind if I ask how you reset. Did you just turn off then back on, or did you do a real reboot/reset.
To be more clear.
A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.

Cannot disable screen lock on my galaxy 4

When my Galaxy 4 was purchased I could disable the screen lock feature by selecting "None" from the various screen lock choices. Now, the "None" choice is not shown. Is there another way to disable screen lock?

THat is rather strange the option for none is no longer in there. Have you recently downloaded any new software or applications? In case you need it, here are the instructions for disabling the lock screen http://spr.ly/6-17NzGL Lets restart your phone and give this a try. Let me know what happens.

Disabling the caps lock delay on the aluminum keyboard

Is there any way of turning off the accidental caps-lock press prevention on the new Apple keyboards? (http://www.tuaw.com/2007/10/07/new-apple-keyboard-has-protection-against-acciden tal-caps-lock/)
I use my caps lock key as Control (SysPrefs -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard -> Modified Keys), and the bounce protection cause me no end of trouble - it is still enabled, though I am not using that key for caps lock.
I called Apple support, and they told me to return the keyboard. I do not think this will make a difference, but maybe a Genius can help me out.

Thanks for your suggestion Tom, but that's not really what we're trying to do.
On early keyboards (when I started typing on computer terminals (in the 70s/80s, yes, before personal computers, the Control key was the key to the left of "A". That was great for programmers since lots of things used Control (shell, Emacs, etc). At some point, the Powers That Be (TM) decided that Caps Lock belonged to the left of the "A" key, so people like me spent their time either hoarding the old-style keyboards or finding ways of putting Control 'back where it should be'.
So disabling Caps Lock altogether does not achieve this goal. And until the Aluminum keyboard, ALL other Apple keyboards have worked fine under OSX using the Keyboard Modifier Key swap to simply make Caps Lock be Control. This Aluminum keyboard still makes the switch and works, but at the cost of having to hold the key longer as if it still were the Caps Lock key. Many typists may not even notice this difference, but to a touch-typist, the key seems simply not to work at all.

Solaris 10 SPARC random Caps Lock

Periodically CAPS Lock will engage. Happens while typing usually. I attempted to disable CAPS lock in the Xserver, but it still occurs.
If I log out of the Xsession, it will reset. We thought it was related to the use of our KVM, but we now connect via virtual console through the ILOM, and it still occurs.
We also have problems with the first character typed not displaying. Again, we thought it was the KVM, but still continues.
Hardware is a T4-1.

Disable opportunistic locking on Server 2012 R2 - Is downgrading to SMBv1 really the only way?

We have an application that uses an Omnis 7 datafile (a service-less, Access-like database, from what I understand). The application vendor has told us that opportunistic locking must be turned off on the server hosting or the clients accessing the
datafile, or there is a greatly increased risk of corruption of the Omnis datafile.
We are migrating some applications from a 2003 server to a 2012 R2 server, including this datafile. I have read about opportunistic locking on 2012 R2. It seems opportunistic locking is hard-coded into both SMBv2 and SMBv3 and there is no way
to disable it without disabling SMBv2 or SMBv3. Is this true? Is there truly no other solution for this but to downgrade my server to use only SMBv1?

Hi Scott,
As you said we cannot disable Opportunistic locking in using SMB2 or SMB3.
See:
https://login.live.com/kb/296264/en-us
•The opportunistic locking registry keys are valid only for traditional SMB (SMB1). You cannot turn off opportunistic locking for SMB2.
From your description it is the limitation of the application - SMB2 comes with Windows Vista /Windows 2008, which means the vendor of the application did not recommend to use SMB2 or the application is released for earlier systems while SMB2 is not available
at that time.
You can confirm with the vendor to see if any upgrade version of that app which is suitable for newer operation systems.

Remaps Caps Lock to Mod4

Hello all.
I've been using Arch with xmonad/gnome and then xmonad/xfce for a while. Now xfce is bugging me, and I want to just switch to a lightweight xmobar setup.
I use caps lock as my mod4 key for xmonad. In the past I've remapped this with the gnome/xfce control panels. Now I see there are a couple approaches to do this in just X, and none of them are working for me.
xmodmap: I am trying to just run these commands from a terminal after starting x, just to see if I can get them to work.
xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock"
doesn't even disable caps lock for me.
I was able to use setxkbmap to switch Caps lock to escape, but I have no idea how to switch it to mod4. What's the difference between "escape" and "swapescape"?
Finally, I understand there are some methods that wouldn't even rely on commands in an .xinitrc file, but are systemd based? I would be interested in this if I could put the setup in my dotfiles.
What are the advantages to each of these techniques? What's the canonical "right" way to switch the keys?

Just beware that some DEs try to be "helpful" and use their own settings daemons. What little i have done with DEs i have found the most usual culprits of this to be display managers. In particular, GDM is quite bad aboit tjis, ignoring just about everything in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. So if you end up making that setting permanent, just be aware of this.

Caps lock key gets stuck on

We are using Sun Ray Software 5.2.1 and connecting to Citrix XenApp 6.5 servers running on windows server 2008R2. We have an issue where randomly the caps lock key is stuck On, and its not just the light, the actually caps lock is stuck and you can only type capital letters. The only solution we have found is to log off and then log back in for a new session and everything is good again. This doesn't work however if the users desktop is locked from the screensaver timeout, because then they can't type in their password correctly to log off the session. The only solution is for me to manually log them off within the Citrix XenApp console.
Any ideas?

Which citrix client are you using? Have you tried killing the sun ray session with CTRL+ALT+Backspace? The Session should restart after that and it would not involve administrative intervention.
You could also try and disable caps lock with xmodmap if you don't need it.
Just some ideas
