Cap Locks not working properly

I have a macbook pro running 10.6.8 & the cap lock turns on when I press the 2nd bracket key. The cap lock stays on until I press the 2nd bracket key again. It will not turn on when I press the cap lock key or shift cap lock key. I tried resetting all shortcuts in system preferences & rebooting the computer, but it is still the same. I can't use the 2nd bracket key now. Any ideas?

Try the procedures outlined here
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

But it sounds to me like a hardware problem. You can test with an external keyboard—if the external works as expected while the built-in doesn't, it's likely a hardware fault.
I hope you're covered by AppleCare, because my bet is that you'll have to replace the keyboard. (But I've lost bets before…)

Apple full size USB keyboard - ESC, tilde, tab, & caps lock not working

I was logging into my email account yesterday & went to tab from the username to password fields & the tab key is all of a sudden not working. It was working the day before, but not now. Upon further checking, the ESC, tilde, & caps lock buttons don't work either. So ESC, tilde, tab, & caps lock are all not working now. (???)
I have the white w/ clear base full size USB wired keyboard. When I unplug & plug back in the USB cord or shut down & restart, the light on the caps lock key does come on as it should.
I have tried many of the various fixes (Universal Access, etc) that I've found online, but to no avail.
No spills or damage & I can't imagine that they all 4 would work one day & then be too dirty to just not work the next.
Any ideas to resolve???

All on the left side of the keyboard - might be a circuit board issue. But try deep cleaning that side of the keyboard. I have used a vacuum cleaner with a sock over the nozzle. (Keys do sometimes come loose - the sock keeps them from being sucked into the vacuum.)

Caps Lock Not Working...Really

Yes, I know that I need to enable Caps Lock in Settings. And yes I know that I need to double-tap the shift key and that if it is enabled it will be outlined in blue to indicate that it's on.
But, my caps lock feature will not activate. It worked briefly on the first day, but hasn't worked since. I've turned it off and on several times and tried to get it to activate. Nothing.
Any other suggestions? Maybe the key is bad?

I reset the settings, and now it works.
I didn't completely reset the iPhone (which would have erased all my data).
All that said, I'm also wondering if perhaps this wasn't user error on my part, still. I'm now wondering if I wasn't double-tapping fast enough. I've figured out that the taps have to come in a fairly quick succession.

Caps lock not working

I can't seem to figure out what the "caps lock" setting is used for. I assumed it was to change the shift key to a CAPS LOCK key but it doesn't do anything different wether it's on or off. Is this a bug or a non-feature? Anyone get it to work?

rtln,
When the Caps lock feature is enabled, double tapping the shift key will put it in caps lock. This is documented on Page 21 of the current revision of the iPhone User's Guide at this link:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iPhoneUserGuide.pdf
The User's Guide has been updated periodically when firmware updates are released, and so that page number may vary in the future. It may also vary if the User's Guide is in a different language.
Hope this helps,

M key/caps lock not working

Hello. I've had my Macbook since December 2007. Since day one, I have to press harder on both my M key and my caps lock key to get them to work. I can press pretty lightly on all my other keys and they work just fine, but I practically have to slam my fingers down on these two keys. The only option that support gave me was to visit an Apple Store. However, the closest one is two hours away. Is there anything else I can do to fix this? Why can't I just send it in?
Thanks.

K1 -- CAPS LOCK not working after BIOS flash

My K1 had to be shipped back to Lenovo for BIOS failure and upon getting the unit back I've noticed the Android keyboard is different, and won't accept a caps lock instruction (?). What's up?
Product = K1 IDEAPAD / Born = September 16, 2011 / Sex = Android 3.1 / Skill with Android = None / Skill with Wi-Fi = None
Solved!

SOLVED! The technicians apparently switched my keyboard to the Lenovo version I don't like it AT ALL! Horrible keyboard. As for the correct time, I had to go in and reset my TIME ZONE. Problems solved.

HP DV7T-4100 Laptop Caps Lock not working. Windows 7 OS

I tried reinstalling the driver, and it also doesn't work in safemode. I am not real familiar with registries so I have not poked around in there.
Any help would be most appreciated!

My iMac is only several weeks old and the light on caps lock stopped working any advice?

Hi
Does the Caps lock still work, just not the LED?
Or does the caps lock not work at all? You usually have to hold the caps button for 1-2 seconds.
If the key is indeed faulty, then you should contact Apple, or go to an Apple Retail Store, or Service Provider to have the keyboard replaced

Caps lock light not working properly

My Laptop caps lock is not working properly , when i press it , the light just flashes and dissappear , the light is suppose to stay there , the things that i type will still be in caps though , any idea how this happens?

Hey,
Sorry to hear about the keyboard problem.
In a post a while back had this to say. He makes a suggestion that the keyboard might need to be replaced, then the person with the question tried something else. You might take a look and see if there's something there that will help.
Thanks for coming to the forum.
Hope I helped,

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

The iPhone 5 is less than a year old, so all of them should still be in warranty unless they have been jailbroken or physically damaged. If you have a hardware problem as you describe the only option is to get the phone replaced by Apple or repaired by a non-authorized shop. The Apple replacement will be free at any Apple store in the country where the phone was purchased. If Apple determines that the phone was physically damaged or jailbroken it will cost $229.

My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

Do you have your Assistive Touch on? Per another user in another forum:
Source: http://forums.imore.com/ios-6-forum/240631-auto-lock-not-working-ios-6-a.html. Username: Chambaka
Okay, I did a 'reset all settings' in settings and problems fixed. Hope this can be useful for others.
Edit: it appears that when the assistive touch is on the autolock function won't work while in the home screen, but will work if opening a app. I hope Apple fixes this bug in the next update.
I tried what he said and my auto-lock's working again - so, I turned off my Assistive Touch. Hope Apple fixes this bug soon,

After I updated to iOS 7.0.2 my lock button is not working properly

After I updated to iOS 7.0.2 my lock button is not working properly I push the button many times and after many failed attempts it locks and sometimes not. I had to use the accesibility tool to lock it manually from the screen, this is really annoying.

I guess it is.
Do you have a question, or are you just sharing your experience with us?

I am facing a new problem after a missed call. i phone will get freez on its lock screen after a miss call. Its seems that its main screen touch is not working properly. This problem occurs after each and every missed call.

I'm using iphone 5s with ios 7.1.2 & I am facing a new problem after every missed call. i phone gets freezed on its lock screen. It seems that its main screen touch is not working properly. It should be bug introduced by apple . This problem occurs after each and every missed call .There is no patch announcement for this issue yet. There are few workaround to fix this issue: Reboot your iphone. But its irritating to reboot the phone frequently after each issue....

Hello dipthebe,
Check out the articles below go through troubleshooting steps for your iPhone when the screen is unresponsive. You may want to try and restore your iPhone as a new device and then test out what happens when you miss a call to see if the issue is still present afterwards.
