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.

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
<http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1381>
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

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!
Go to Solution.

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.

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

Apple numeric keypad keyboard caps LED not working...

Hi,
I am using numeric keypad(wired one) with my iMac, suddenly, when i switched on the machine in evening and tried tap the CAPS key and it doesn't light up but the caps lock is working perfectly fine.
I saw many posts regarding this on Apple discussions, but, none of them has worked for me.
Sometimes, i use this keyboard with Windows 7 also it is not working for that too. I tried with many other PCs including Windows or Mac but, didn't worked.
I discovered that Apple is providing protection against accidently CAPS lock with new manufactured keyboards, i bought my iMac 15 days back.
My entire work in on Mac and on the application i used to work on, i need to enter the password at almost 4 locations and with out knowing that CAPS lock is on or off, really taking a lot of time.
Can any body suggest that the problem is with the LED Bulb or what? or this a manufacturing fault? or i need to go for a new keyboard?
Your comments are really appreciated in this regard.
Regards,
MacLover

Hi, my first suspect would be a bad Keyboard.
Open System Preferences>Keyboard>Modifier keys, is Caps Lock set to No Action?
Open Keyboard Veiwer in Sys Prefs>International or Languages, do the letters switch to upper case when Caps Lock is pressed?

Ipad2 - cover lock not working - can anybody help?

Ipad2 - cover lock not working - can anybody help?

Settings -> General -> iPad cover lock/unlock -> On
Try toggling this setting on then off. Are you sure the case you have has the magnets that are compatible with this feature. Also with the setting turned on you could try a Reset, hold down the Home and Sleep buttons at the same time for 10 seconds, the iPad will then perform a reset.

Ask for password after screen lock not working!?

Ask for password after screen lock not working? It used to work before mavericks, each time my computer display sleep I'm asked for the password immediately. Now it never asks for it?

From 2008 MacRumors discussion:
SOLUTION: Browse to Home>Library>Preferences and drag com.apple.systempreferences.plist to the desktop.
Caused by a corrupt user preferences file. On restart, you may find user settings have defaulted. Set up as desired.
Worked for me.

Caps Lock not responding

My Caps lock wont work in one project,. works fine in all other projects,. is there something that maybe I turned off by accident?

Nobody, I thought You guy's are supposed to be geniuses. Just kidding,. You guy's are amongst the smartest people I know. Cheers.
I figure my session must have got corrupted sum-how so I just made a new one.

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?

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.
