During typing sporadically keys do not respond immediately.

Sometimes (not constant) when typing, the key does not respond immediately. If I wait 15-30 sec. Then it responds as we'll as additional keys I may have tapped. Also when attempting to save an email to a specific folder, I tap the "save" icon then in the left when I tap on the specific email account to get to th specific folder, the iPad 4 freezes momentarily and after a few seconds (5-15) it decides to continue. This doesn't happen all the time only intermittently.

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
It seems likely that your digitizer (which is the top portion of the screren which recognizes your stylus taps and converts them into commands) is failing, although there are things that you can try to diagnose it. One thing is to remove any screen protector you have installed, and see if the behavior continues. The second is to fold over the corner of a piece of paper and use the folded edge as a "scoop" by sliding it underneath the frame that goes around the screen. The idea is to pull out any dirt or grit that has accumulated under there over time, which can interfere with the digitizer's function.
If that does not remedy the problem, you can try one of several software fixes such as DigiFix which can help in some cases.
If none of that works, you might just be in need of a replacement digitizer. They can be found at www.pdaparts.com or www.usedpdaparts.com and you can either do the repair yourself, or they will do it for you at a reasonable cost.
All of these solutions, and more, are discussed in this lengthy thread in the Hardware board.
Good luck.

My keyboard on macbook pro (laptop) is acting weird. One key is not responding at all. Have verified using Keyboard viewer and some other keys are printing the unresponsive character at random.

my keyboard on macbook pro (laptop) is acting weird. One key is not responding at all. Have verified using Keyboard viewer and some other keys are printing the unresponsive character at random. "z" is the unresponsive character.
Is it a damaged keyboard ?
The laptop is just 2 months old, will Apple replace it with a new one if its indeed a damaged keyboard or just repair, I use it for official purposes so being without a laptop is not much of an option.

No one here works for Apple, so we don't know what Apple might or might not do. If it's a genuine defect, they will of course repair it under warranty. It is not their responsibility if it effects your ability to work or not, so that's on you.
If, however, they determine that the key is problematic as a result of your misuse of the laptop, then everything is on you. And trust me, if they find a glob of dried up beer or coffee there, they will charge you.
Your only choice is to take it in for repair.

My "caps lock" key and "P" key do not respond on my 2009 macbook pro unibody

I recently bought a used macbook pro for university. When I bought it the guy who had it before me was running windows 7 on the machine. (why ruin a mac with windows software? I have no idea) I love macs and everything about them so I decided to wipe the hard drive clean and run OSX like any other normal mac user... well now the "caps lock" and "P" keys do not respond at all!!! I've checked my keyboard settings and keyboard and character viewer and its only those keys that do not respond!! Any ideas how I could reset the hardware? (I have a feeling he had to configure the keys to windows software) And yes, I did see the keys work when I bought it!! Does anybody know apples policy on applecare? like what would I need to bring in to redeem it? (I know this computer is warrantied until 2013)

I got the exact same roblem- you can see that, "p" missing in the word problem.
And Caps lock doesn't work either.
A few hours ago, I had problem with Shift keys. They were stuck, I don't know which one but everything would be capatalized and minimizing windows would be very slow. Then the repairman at a Mac Support center (authorized reseller, no Apple stores here) took off the back cover and cleaned a small chord or something and the Shift problem vanished and this one appeared. The guy thinks it's related to keyboard- must be!- and I need to change it. Could there be any other option?
ps: I copied and pasted all the 'p's in this piece.

Keys do not respond

Some of the keys do not respond when trying to key in text and numbers. For instance the upshift keys does not go to uppercase but to the number keys in Notes. In the number keypad such as when you key in your PIN code the numbers 7,8,9 would not respond. I restored it so I no longer have to enter a PIN code but it is near impossible to text, email or even sign in to iTunes

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Punctuation and comma keys do not respond

Macbook Air 11" - 2012 running Lion.
The period and the comma keys appear to be "dead" - not responding, also not when shift or other keys pressed simultaneous.
All other keys appear to function as usual.
There was no prior incident - they simply stopped working all of a sudden.
Hoping someone can help - either with an idea on how to test what the problem may be (software or hardware functionality test)
- or with a cure...
Thanks!
Per

Did you find the solution ?
I just got this same problem on 2014-12-24 with my Mac Air 2011 version
- After update to Yosemite OS - the same problem remains
- Notice that I can't do period or comma here (nor the the upper case of the same keys for "greater than" and "less than" symbols
- Could it be a hardware problem ?
- 2 things occurred at about the same period of time when the problem showed up
- (1) I was brushing my teeth with baking soda and sneezed with 2 drops of liquid on the computer (I don't think the liquid drops
were on the 2 problematic keys
- (2) while trying to get a bit torrent but was interceded by another software download recommendation which I ignored
and closed the website - computer did act strange and not sure if there was any software damage
Can "Apple Support team" reply and address this problem ?

Backspace key does not respond

Hi.
This is on behalf of a lady friend of mine. Her backspace key does not work. And the "funny" thing is that the sound cannot be adjusted as well. It is completely stuck.
Anybody who can advice me?
She has OS X 10.6.8 installed, ans the Mac is approx 1 1/2 years old.

You could try to connect the external USB keyboard to the notebook in order to check if this keyboard button behavior will appear using external keyboard.
If the USB keyboard would work properly, then the problem is caused definitely by internal keyboard malfunction. In such case you would need to replace the keyboard.
Is you warranty valid? In case it is, the replacement could be replaced free of charge.

My shift key is not responding again!!

The shift key has stopped responding. I've restarted many times. Help me

It's probably some dirt or something under the key.
Does it press down differently than the ones around it, perhaps a bit harder than normal? Gently lift up the edges and blow hard, or twist the end of a paper towel (till it's pointy) and push it around under there.

Hi! i recently got a macbook pro 15" retina display, and i tried to play assassin's creed 2 and other games on it, but the thing is, the keyboard keys will not respond except the trackpad, and the keyboard keys work fine outside of gaming.

Hi! so like i said in the title, i tried to play any game like assassin's creed and minecraft, but the keyboard wont respond but the trackpad does, also i tried restarting reinstalling checking if mouse key is on or off and all that, and it still wont fix this problem. Outside of gaming though, the keyboard works with no problem. Please help me!

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Key Press Not Responding If You Go Back (re-do step)

I have a software simulation in which one of the steps is to enter some numbers into a text field and press the Enter key. Works good on the first pass. If you then click the Back button and go back to a previous step the Enter key will no longer work. I have search the forums and some blogs without any luck.
Example:
http://elearning.biworldwide.com/misc/Soft_Sim/Soft_Sim.htm
After you reach the text entry step and enter the correct numbers and press Enter, click the Back button (lower left) and back up to the Click Member step and re-preform the steps. When you reach the text entry the Enter key press will no longer work.

All apps in the recently used apps bar or dock which is accessed by pressing the home button twice are not loaded and running. Some apps like games that have been updated to do so will be in an idle state, most will be quit, and some will run in the background when leaving the app. The number of apps that can run in the background are very few and far between because there is no reason or benefit for the overwhelming number of 3rd party apps to run in the background.
