Converting the Caps lock key to a "Fn lock" key

Who to do this with Automator or Applescript?
It would be nice of the little green light in the caps lock key also worked to show if the "Fn lock" key is activated.

Hi Sandvei, and a warm welcome to the forums!
see if this works for you...

IDES for writing Java card applets and converting the applets as CAP FILE.

I have developed a JAVA CARD APPLET , FindMFValueJCA.java . It gets compiles in net beans 6.0 But while converting the applet to CAP file i am getting some errors. Is there any other IDES which take care of converting the CAP files

What's the Java version you are using?
As the java card tool kit has version dependencies. If you are using java_card _kit 2.2.2 then 1.5 is fine.

I suddenly have two flashing lights on my keyboard by the caps lock key and over the end/pg up key.

I encountered a problem waking my laptop (Pavilion dv7-1270us) this morning. At first it would not wake up and had to do a hard reboot. Now I have two flashing lights on the keyboard -the caps lock light and the one over the end/pg up keys over the number pad. I have run several diagnostics and cannot find an answer as to what this is.
This question was solved.

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

Software stuck in capslock but the key is not stuck, can't log in now due to the caps lock. what should I do?

I was doing homework and the software started lagging, followed by all the font being stuck in caps lock. My keys are find and I could still turn the caps on/off. This had no effect; still caps. I used shift, still the caps stayed on. I restarted it and it pops up with "OS x safeboot" and asks for my password. I type it in accordingly and it's wrong because the caps are still on. I don't know what to do and I have an online test due soon ;( help?

I would first try compressed air to blow anything from under the key. More knowledgeable people will hopefully chime in, but a problem starting at a level as low as logging in would make me think that the contacts under the keys might be dirty. Do you have another keyboard that you can plug in?

How do you turn off the Caps Lock key?

According to "Mac OS X, Tiger Edition, THE MISSING MANUAL," "A new button in System Preferences lets you reassign or disable the function of your Option, Caps Lock, and Control keys...." Well, I think the most annoying thing about my MacBook is that I keep hitting the Caps Lock inadvertently, and end up typing unwanted capitals. HOW DO YOU DISABLE THE CAPS LOCK?

Hello Niku.Go into System Prefs. click Keyboard & Mouse, Click first tab in the box "Keyboard",click bottom tab "Modifier Keys", select drop down menu on top tab "Caps Lock" and select No Action. Same expalnation as other answers.

I think I see the problem. I can get to "Keyboard," but when I click on it there is no bottom tag labeled "Modifier Keys". In fact, there is no bottom tab. Therefore, there is no drop down menu, and no "Caps Lock," and no "No Action". What I see when I click on "Keyboard" is only what I mentioned in a previous posting. Two sentences, as I recall.

Hi
How its going?
I understand that you are not able to get the capital letter c.
I want you to change the keyboard and if you have got the warranty please replace at no charge.

Key board will not lock the cap key

Purchased my first IMAC and because I have Microsoft soft ware that Apple does not support I partioned the disc and was able to load Windows 7 (I know a nasty word for Mac users) I cannot get my keyboard cap key to lock on to install my newwork key for a wireless network because it would appear that cap key is not working for caps even when I use the shift key as well. It would appear that I key board is working only because I can type in the key of something when I chose the my network name. Any suggestions

Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine, and might be applicable to new machines..

When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. I can get a capital i only by pressing the cap lock key whats wrong.

When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. the only way I can get a capital i is by using the caps lock key what is going on. Also from time to time my mouse acts like someone is sitting on it. this stops when i press the command key. i am using the lateist wireless mouse and keypad.

does it only happen with the i key?
if it doesnt then try presing shift first then i (or any key) second instead of at the same time.
if it only happens with the i key then what i would do is take the keyboard and mouse to an apple store and ask them if they will hook it up on their computer to see if it is the keyboard or computer.

The 'caps lock indicator immediately truns off when any key is pressed.

I have a 6 week old system. When I press(turn on) the 'CAPS LOCK' key it does lite up . However it reverts to lower case - and lite turns off, immediately when ANY OTHER key is touched on the keyboatd.
I ran the anti virus program and it appeared to be fixed. However it does the same thing today, even after I run the anti VIrus program(s) again.

Can I have my HDX18 Notebook w Vista SP1 make a sound when I press the caps lock key?

I was able to do this with an older HP laptop running Windows XP. Cant find any info in "Help" or User manuals.

Hi, Warren - There used to be several small apps that let you remap the Caps Lock and other keys by assigning their functions to other keys that you may not use very often. There is a freeware app at the moment called DoubleCommand, for example, which allows you to assign the backslash key (\) to function as forward delete, instead of pushing fn + Delete. I don't know if any Tiger apps are able to reassign Caps Lock, but what I was mentioning above is that if you wanted, you could assign the Caps Lock function to the Control, Option or Command keys through the Keyboard pane in System Preferences. (I didn't mean that as a suggestion, though. I just meant to say that it was possible.)
Glad the first tip was helpful to you!
Good luck.

IMac Black Screen, making some progress with the CAPS LOCK key...What???!!!

Ok, super weird situation here. My friend brought me his iMac because when he turns it on, it makes the chime sound, the front light goes on, but the screen stays black.
The first thing I tried (as a former pc user) whas to start pressing the CAPS LOCK ON and OFF to see if the computer froze at some point, but to my surprise, after hitting the CAPS LOCK many times the screen appeared.
Ok, but the white screen with the gray apple was all distorted, the apple with be filled with little rainbow boxes and lines on the whole screen, so I thought, the Video converter might be bad.
But then, when I tried for the third of fourth time, it appeared the same white scren with the gray apple and the progress circle spinning again, but this time it looked perfect, BUT it froze, and it just stayed there.
Thats what I have so far......any ideas? I tried the Controlcommand+PR but it didnt do anything......
Thanks

It appears that the Mac is passing the Power On Start Test which results in the chime advising that the RAM seems OK. But there is something wrong with the boot volume. Try booting from the Install DVD that came with the Mac. In the Utilities menu of the Installer use Disk Utility to Repair Disk. In the left hand list choose the boot volume. On the right hand, in the First Aid pane press the Repair Disk button. Repeat until no repairs are reported.

I cant use the X key on my imac wired keyboard, the key viewer shows the two commands keys pressed when i hit x and the caps lock light is always on....thank you

I cant use the X key on my imac wired keyboard, the key viewer shows the two commands keys pressed when i hit x and the caps lock light is always on....not really sure what happened, but i didnt do anything different from my daily stuff

thank you

Hi Moe,
Sounds mostly likje a bad KB, do you have another to test with?
Or...
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Anyone know how to disable the "caps lock" key?

I'm a klutz typist who needs to look at the keys when I type, and I often hit the caps lock key by mistake and have to go back and retype a lot. There used to be in the real old days a freeware utility to do this, but I don't know how to do it today.
