Caps lock and shift not recognized from a usb or virtual keyboard on the Mac

Caps lock and shift not recognized from a usb or virtual keyboard on the Mac client.   You have to use the native keyboard or bluetooth keyboard.

Hi,
nswint, it seems that we have to do as you described.
Corey, I have the remote desktop client installed on a iPad Air, I can input capital letters via the on-screen keyboard within the remote desktop session that we can activate by a tap on the keyboard icon in the connection bar.
Thanks.

  • HT203254 Caps lock and Shift Key behavior

    Hi,
    I am using mac from 3 years now but just notice one bug or feature in Key board.
    If my caps lock is on and I type any character with Shift press I am expecting character in lower case but it is always coming up in Capital. So looks like caps lock is not changing behavior of shift key. Is this always like this or is there any configuration that I can change.
    -Samar

    Thanks Carson for reply.
    May be I not able to explain the problem earlier. Caps Lock is working perfectly fine. As my understanding and hows the windows or linux  keyboard works with this scenario I am expecting lower case character when I have Caps lock ON and I press any character with  Shift Key.
    Step 1 :Caps Lock On
    Step 2: Shift Key + I  <<You can press any character>>
    Expected result Is "A" but result COMES AS "A"

  • The caps lock and p key does not work

    All of a sudden my "p" key and "caps Lock" key are not working. tried pram and smc resets but does not help. Want to know if it is a hard ware or a software issue. Im using a a MAC Book Pro that i bought ony 15 days back

    First assumption: its faulty wiring, judging by this being your first post, im guessing its a new mac? Id call apple or replace it at the store you got it from if you didnt buy through online or applestore.

  • OSD for the Caps Lock and Num Lock is not appearing.

    Hi all,
    I recently discovered that the Caps Lock and Num Lock OSD has stopped appearing when I activate/disactivate these functions. The functions still work, just that the notifications do not pop up.
    All the rest of the OSD notifications still DO work, like volume, ThinkLight, brightness, etc.
    I've checked the on-screen display settings in Control Panel and found that it set to 'enable' with fadeout at 3 seconds.
    I've turned it off and on to 'reset' it but to no avail.
    Help, please.
    Thanks in advance.

    They're not supposed to show up on T400's because the indicators exist as physical indicators on the lower bezel.

    Keyboard Doesn’t Work
    Keyboard Keys Do Not Respond

  • My Macbook built-in keyboard has stopped responding, (even caps lock light does not come on). What can I do as cannot even login to computer?

    My Macbook built-in keyboard has stopped responding, (even caps lock light does not come on). What can I do as cannot even login to computer?
    There has been no spillage and it has not been dropped.

    Do you have access to a USB wired Apple (or maybe even a PC) keyboard?
    That may be used to help troubleshoot the internal keyboard and on startup
    be able to access (or see if you can) the System, and attempt to see about
    troubleshooting. See if it will start in SafeBoot, (shift key held down just after
    startup tone, if it runs in safeboot, then login to see if you can read system
    logs in Console) and another idea may be to attempt to start in Recovery &
    then attempt to use OS X Utilities there to see if you can verify and then to
    repair the hard disk drive, and do some checks on the hardware.

    Was the computer an Apple official refurbished unit bought direct from Apple?
    Did you get an extended warranty from Apple - if it were directly bought there?
    Usually these are online purchases from Apple Store; other companies offer
    repaired or restored used computers and call them 'refurbished' or they may
    have bought actual refurbished from Apple stock; these may be resold on ebay
    or via amazon, and may or may not have a residual warranty of some kind.
    In some cases the keyboard may fail due to some connection on the logic board
    not fitting correctly, or some other loose wire; however if the battery may have
    swollen, that could contribute to issues with both trackpad and keyboard.
    A visit to an authorized Apple service provider is recommended, or contact the
    seller you bought yours from to ask if they may offer suggestions or perhaps a
    discount on diagnostic + repair if there is no warranty on the product.
    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    Visit an Apple Retail Store

    Without more information, you may have to look into your local consumer
    protection laws to see if your area may allow you more than others when
    it comes to problems with electronics. If in the EU or UK, it may be longer.

  • Why does Caps Lock and F keys log me out of websites?

    MacBook Air 11" Core i5, OS X 10.7.2, Safari 5.1.2.
    Caps Lock and F keys seem to log me out of websites like Jimdo and stop BBC iPlayer from playing video, why? Most annoying. As you can't turn up the volume with out stopping the video and the system going back to the beginning of the video.

    On a Mac OS X system: System Preferences->Keyboard and Mouse->Keyboard(tab)->Modifier Keys(button): set Caps Lock to No Action (or to plain Shift if you prefer). Some people like Caps Lock. They can keep it. Others (like me) keep pressing it by mistake. We disable it. Everybody's happy. And if you're a No Caps Lock type of person, but really want it on rare occasion, just map it back temporarily. Takes 5 seconds.

  • Pavilion Dv5-1009el - Black screen and blink caps lock and block scorr

    Hi,
    I just replaced the motherboard of my pavilion that reported an error as object. The purchased motherboard is new and hp original.
    After having changed, I turn on the pc and work fine, i see the hp logo and enter to bios, after I turned off the pc without starting windows.
    I inserted the battery and powered on the pc and returns to the old error, the LED of caps lock and block Lock blinks...
    So I tried to update the bios from USB using winkey + B. The computer emits two beeps but does not read from any USB port and the LEDs go out for a while and then blink again.
    What can I do?
    Greetings,
    Enzo.

    Hi @shmurray,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand you are getting a blink pattern on the Caps lock LED, when you turn on the notebook. I am happy to help you with this.
    I am including the page on the error codes for your reference: Blank Screen LED Error Codes
    From that document the pattern you are getting indicates a memory problem. You said that you have tested the memory. What exactly did you try?
    The document suggests reseating the RAM or trying a new set of RAM and then restarting the notebook. If you are still getting a memory problem after trying both of those things, ie a 3 blink code again, then it would likely suggest that there is a problem with the motherboard itself, either with the memory slot or one of the controllers related to memory.
    In that case I would suggest contacting the technical phone support number at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html
    If however reseating the memory or replacing it leads to a different error code or message please let me know, Although in that case the following may be helpful if you still have a blank screen.

  • Satelite P50-A-14E - Caps lock key is not working

    Hi all,
    My CAPS LOCK key is not working on my Satelite P50-A-14E series laptop. Just realized while writing an email that is not working so is more or less sudden. Nothing has been spilled on it. Here is what I've checked so far:
    - green light indicating that CAPS is LOCKED illuminates while pressing the key from on screen keyboard
    - keyboard backlight doesn't start when I press the key but It works for the key itself when pressing any other key.
    - tried a clean boot but no result.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hi
    > Just realized while writing an email that is not working so is more or less sudden.
    Did you test the CAPS LOCK button using different software: internet browser, word or another editor?
    How about the usage of external keyboard?
    From my point of view there are two possible malfunctions: either there is some problem with the software you are using or the internal keyboard simply malfunctions and in such case the keyboard replacement will solve the problem.
    You could test the external USB keyboard. In case the USB external keyboard CAPS LOCK button would functions, then the internal keyboard has to be replaced for sure.

  • Blinking Caps Lock and Num Lock Keys Lit after spilling water Macbook Pro.

    What does it mean when the caps lock and Num lock key blink, after spilling liquid on a Macbook Pro? Does this mean that liquid is still present? Also, the white light by the latch was blinking. What does this all mean?

    Possible liquid damage.
    Immediately disconnect all peripherals, power cord & remove the battery. Turn the computer over with the lid partly open and the hinge facing upward to let the liquid drain. Do not flop it over and lay it flat - you want to separate it from the moisture. Place paper or cloth towels under the machine to sop up the mess.
    After the computer disgorges whatever you spilled on it, don't turn it on for 72 hours or longer. You want to computer to dry out completely before turning it on again.
    Some users here swear by hairdryers. Blow drying the innards may bake whatever was in the liquid onto delicate computer components. Better to let the computer air dry.
    Use plain tepid water to clean out the computer. If you spilled iced beverage more than likely this ice fried the hot motherboard.
    Sugary, acidic or milky drinks will almost always cause problems later on as the residue starts slowly corroding the computer innards.
    Swab down any sticky parts with distilled water or denatured alcohol.
    If none of the above works, you will need to take the computer to a repair shop. Apple Care does not cover liquid or food damage. Believe me, they can tell. So the old "my computer stopped working" line is not going to work.
