Caps lock won't work!

Does anyone experience the same?
My caps-lock function does not work.
It is correctly enabled in Settings. Everytime I double-click the Shift button, the key becomes blue-filled but still after the first letter it goes back to white (and no more capital letter).
I have to manually hold down the shift button for all the time I need it.
This as been the same also before the iOs update.
Any idea or advice?
Thanks,
F

Have you tried a hard reset as Jonathan suggested: hold both the sleep/power and home buttons until the logo appears and the system resets?
This sounds like a unit problem and not iOS 4.2 problem since you said it existed prior to the iOS update. If it persists after hard reset, it would be good to take the iPad to an Apple Retail store and have the genius bar staff check it out.

Keyboard delete and caps lock keys not working after update

Shortly after a windows update two keys, delete and caps lock do not work. I have tried the following
1. system restore..it says it cannot restore as a file is missing. I have used this function before without any problem.
2. Update key board driver (standard PS/2)..it says latest version is installed.
3. Uninstall and reinstall.
4. Reset using the remove batteryt hold down power key option.
The caps lock and delete does not work in Notepad or MS Word.
It seems unlikely that the two keys themselves are damaged as it is unlikely that they would both fail at the same time and the problem after the windows undate is suspicious.
I am using Windows 7 Home premium on a 64 bit HP G62.
help appreciated as ever
thanks

Here's another test...since your laptop has USB ports get or borrow a USB keyboard and try it and if all those keys work and test then the results would mean your laptop keyboard has stop functioning as least you narrow done the problem.

Shift-Caps Lock-Tab not working with remapped Caps Lock

I've remapped my Caps Lock key to Ctrl using the Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier keys dialog and in the following question when I say CTRL i mean the Caps Lock key remapped to Ctrl and Ctrl is the normal left Ctrl key.
I'm using OS X 10.9.4 and I've just bought 2 new external corded Apple keyboards and both of them are having trouble with the key combination Left Shift + CTRL + Tab. For applications where that combination should go to the previous TAB it does not work. If I use the right Shift instead it works fine, if I use the left Ctrl key instead of the remapped Caps Lock key it works great too.
The internal keyboard on the laptop works fine with Left Shift - Caps Lock - Tab.
The computers are a Macbook Air 11" Mid 2011 and a Macbook Pro 15" Mid 2010.

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.

Caps Lock LED not working in X unless I hold shift

Hi, I recently installed Arch, installed X and configured it as the wiki says, installed awesome and now I switched the language toggle to Caps Lock instead of Alt+Shift.
I hoped the LED would tell me what language I'm typing in. But I noticed the LED wasn't working (Num Lock LED does work however).
I looked on the forum and it said to use
kbd_mode -u
to switch the keyboard to UTF-8 and it'll be fine.
Now Scroll Lock works too (it didn't before), but Caps Lock does something weird, it lights up for a split second then immediately turns back off. That unless I hold shift when I press Caps Lock, then it works fine, but I don't want to hold shift...
So how can I make it work?
EDIT: In the tty Caps Lock works fine.
Thanks.

Standard troubleshooting procedures in order are power the iPhone off and on, Reset, Restore and if no change after and or all in order, call AppleCare (800) 694-7466 or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.
Although others may have experienced the same, this does not mean the majority have.

HT1192 Caps Lock is not working in my mac, after pressing long time too.

Caps Lock is not working in my mac, after pressing long time too.Please help me to sort this problem out.

I think even in newer versions of OS X there is a slight delay; just not so pronounced. My advice to get around it would be to install PCKeyboardHack and KeyRemap4MacBook - then do a couple of things:
Change the Caps Lock key in System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys to "None"
Use PCKeyboardHack to remap Caps Lock to keycode 110, the PC Application Key, which is unused on Apple keyboards.
Then use KeyRemap4Macbook to map that particular keycode to Toggle Caps Lock.Try selecting For PC Users > Change PC Application Key > Application Key to CapsLock.
I'm pretty sure that should get rid of the delay, which only happens when Apple is in charge of connecting the Caps Lock key to its action.
Really, though, I would personally recommend doing some much more awesome things with your Caps Lock key; it's prime keyboard real estate, and who uses caps lock anyway, except in the darkest corners of the Internet? Personally, I've remapped Caps to be Escape (for use in my text editor) when you press it by itself quickly, but to be Cmd+Opt+Ctrl+Shift when you press it with any other key. I call it the "Hyper" key, and use it to switch applications; Hyp+S = Safari, Hyp+D = email, Hyp+F = Finder... The point is, be creative, make the Caps Lock key work for you.
Oh, and the real Escape key maps to Caps Lock, so I can use it if I want to.

Caps lock doesn't work.

My caps lock doesn't work. Whenever I press it, the cursor disappears from the type box on a website or whatever I'm typing information on. I then have to use my mouse to click back to where it should have been. In the meantime, I have been using the "shift" key to capitalise. This isn't just confined to Firefox, but to IE, Word etc. How do I solve this problem?

Hello again, iamjayakumars!
I didn't press the "shift" key for a long time. Just a brief period when need be to capitalise one word or more. This caps lock problem occurs everytime I turn the laptop on.

Caps lock won't turn off

My updated 3G iPhone keyboard is slower and caps lock won't turn off after turning on with a double tap. If I switch to numerals or special characters when I go back to main keyboard caps lock is off. Anyone having the same issues or any solutions?

Please read teh directions for an SMC reset:
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Apple wireless keyboard. Caps Lock light quit working.

I know it's a small thing but all of a sudden the Caps Lock light quit working. A real pain for entering passwordssince you can't see if their in caps or not. Can this be fixed?

What does resetting the PRAM mean? How is that done?
<http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11243>
It works best with a USB keyboard. With a wireless keyboard, try pressing the keys just after the startup BOING.
You will need to reset the "Startup Disk" system preference after a PRAM reset.

Logic Pro 8 midi controller or caps lock won't process midi

OK. I was trying to figure out WHY my arpeggiator will only allow me to use a zone higher than C-2. I need to be able to use C-1 and above (Ultrabeat). So, I read somewhere that it could possibly be something with the control surface. So I go digging over there. At that moment I did nothing but check and close everything out. I didn't change anything. Then, my midi won't work from my controller or caps lock. So I worsened things (probably) by resetting midi in the "midi" setting in preferences AND scanning for surfaces in the control surfaces panel. Now get this...it only applies to this song. It is perfectly fine on any other songs I open. I also notice now that there is a white bar to the left of the tracks. It doesn't appear to be nothing serious though. Please someone help me. I have a serious deadline due and I cannot afford this setback.
Thanks in advance!!!

OK....I got it working again. Pay attention to what you do in the Environment kids!!! But new problem...My arpeggiator won't arpeggiate. Any solutions?

[Solved] xmodmap bug? Remapping Caps Lock doesn't work

When I program I like to swap these keys:
Esc <-> Tab
Ctrl <-> Caps Lock
In ~/.xmodmap, I have specified these re-mappings:
keycode 66 = Control_L
keycode 37 = Caps_Lock
keycode 23 = Escape
keycode 9 = Tab
The Escape and Tab keys swaps, no problem, but instead of Caps_Lock and Control_L swapping, both those keys becomes Caps_Lock.
Whatever I try to do, the Control keys doesn't get assigned to Caps_Lock(keycode 66). If I leave the keycode 66 = , the key is un-assigned, but when I assign Control_L or Control_R, it just doesn't work. But, if I assign some other key, for example, keycode 66 = Tab, it gets assigned, no problem.
Its like xmodmap just doesn't want Caps Lock and Control keys to be swapped. Really frustrating. Any help/pointers would be really helpful.
