Edit functions using number pad no longer working

suddenly (within the last week) I try to say, move a track by selecting it, typing say, + 1.0 enter, and last week that would have moved the track 1 second to the right. Now, everything locks up. If I force quit the finder, when it restarts, everything works perfectly again. If I try to move the playhead by using the number pad, the same thing happens. I deleted preferences, repaired permissions, changed out the keyboard, nothing seems to help. I'm wondering if one of the updates is wonky, so I'm asking if anyone else (I know it's unlikely, but I don't want to reinstall) has experienced this anomoly.

i've not experienced this particular issue, but before you try a full reinstall, I find it is often useful to create a new user account, and test to see if the problem still occurs in that new 'clean' account ... it often appears to slove the issue(s), which points towards some conflict/corruption within your original user account.
you could then chose to either migrate to the new user account, try deleting all your old user prefs (not just fcp) and see if that helps ... or just use fast user switching and continue using your original account for daya to day tasks and maintain the 'clean' account just for editing
hope it helps

"Edit" Functions Grayed Out and No Longer Work

I have CS5 and have used it for several years now and it has served me well but suddenly, I find that many options (such as most "Edit" options within it are noy grayed-out and non-functional. I've uninstalled it and re-installed but the problem is still there. I can no longer find a phone number to get tech help like I used to and am now totally stuck with a useless product. Does anyone know a fix here?

Jerry, thanks for the screen shots. As JJMack said, a preference reset might work. You might want to go to actions>edit on your post and remove the second picture. Looks like it has some personal info on it.
Try resetting the Photoshop preference file: Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop's startup. Select "yes" when asked if you would like to continue with reset.

I tried to install maverick and now my keyboard keys F10,F11, 7,8,9 on the number pad don't work on my iMac. How do I resolve this?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Besweet, I'm having the very same problem with 60GB colour which was bought new and worked for 6 months before suddenly just not being recognised by PC. I hadn't changed anything at all.
I've followed all troubleshooting advice and reinstalled and updated iTunes and iPod updater software but all troubleshooting routes seem to hit the dead end of either the need to access the iPod via the PC (which isn't possible as it's not showing up at all) or the iPod in disc mode stuck at "ok to disconnect".
It's still under 1yr warranty so will have to take to a dealer.
I'm sorry that's not much help for you but at least you know it's not a unique problem.

Number pad doesn't work, and can't find Num Lock button

My number pad has stopped working. I looked in the User Guide which says I have a Num Lock button, but I don't. Where is it located. Thank you.

Solved - Never mind, I found it. I don't know why I couldn't find it last night. I'd looked for it before without finding it. For some reason, there it was this morning - where it should have been. I guess the computer elf came in an installed it. Thanks to anyone who may have thought of responding.

I use iMac OS 10.6.8 (uptodate Snow Leopard) with Firefox for Mac 23.0.1. Online and at other times, my number pad doesn't work. Is there a 'Num Loc/unloc' on the keyboard?

On line or otherwise, my number keypad doesn't work, then I get a 'freeze.' Number keypad works durning sign in.
I use Mac keyboard (original equipment).

Hi, sometimes Shift+clear works as numlock.
Also open System Preferences>Universal Access>Keyboard tab, & see if Sticly keys is on.
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...

Satellite P500 - After BIOS update the number pad isn't working anymore

I just got a Satellite P500 and am running Windows 7. I downloaded all of the latest drivers and updated the system bios to version 1.70 (from Toshiba's support website). Now, my number pad on the keyboard is not working.
The numlock light is on and when I hit the "6" key on the number pad, it turns the light on/off but the behavior of the other keys does not change whether it is on or off. The "-" key enters a "6" but none of the other keys (except "enter" does anything.
I removed the keyboard driver and restarted to re-install the keyboard driver but that had not effect. The keyboard did work for a few days after I flashed the bios but seems to have stopped since I started using a USB mouse. I tried uninstalling the USB mouse driver but that did not do anything either (it was a Logitech driver).
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance

I'm having this exact same issue, Did the BIOS update, which fixed the problem for Vista X64, formatted the machine to windows 7, Number pad keys except 6 and - Register as the Fn Button, Bringing up the function shortcuts display when pressed in windows, recovered from 7 to Vista X64 using Built in recovery partition, Problem still exactly the same. i have reset BIOS to defaults twice now, which has not resolved the issue. the next step will be to reflash the bios with the update again to see if this will fix the issue as it did once before. Laptop Model P500/025 Or Part number PSPE8A-025002
*EDIT: I reflashed the BIOS with 1.70 Again and the number pad is back to normal. Seems like an extreme fix for a silly problem. Every time you format you have to Reflash your bios, risky no?*

Key code 24 using control down - no longer works in 10.6

I have a script that should open a dialog box to make a picture using Copernicus. the command I try to invoke is 'Control ='.
here is the script.
tell application "Copernicus"
activate
delay 2
tell application "System Events"
key code 24 using control down
end tell
end tell
or alternative I tried:
tell application "Copernicus"
activate
delay 2
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "=" using control down
delay 5
end tell
However both do not work, it does do nothing on - key code 24 using control down -.
If I do a manual 'Control =' it works regardless if the Application is active or in the background.
Has anything changed in 10.6 that this sort of code no longer works? How do I set it up for this to work?

I have downloaded Copernicus 1.5.2 (Build 15) just to better understand the issue.
is what I use.
However, I am unable to find any “Control =” keyboard shortcut in any menu of that application. Does that shortcut belong to Copernicus, or is it a shortcut that you have added yourself in the Keyboard pane of the System Preferences?
I added it replacing 'F7' for various reasons. however “Control =” works if I do it via the keyboard.
As for me, after assigning a “Control =” keyboard shortcut to a TextEdit menu command, I have no problem invoking it from the following script.
*tell application "TextEdit" to activate*
*tell application "System Events"*
*key code 24 using control down*
*end tell*
OK. as said it works using the keyboard, but not via the script. could it have something to do with Copernicus? I simply do not understand as to why it does not work using a script.

Apple Keyboard with number pad doesn't work with Mac Pro?

I have a Mac Pro, and have used an Apple Keyboard with a number pad (not bluetooth) with it for quite a while, with no problems. But then my keyboard broke and I ordered a replacement Apple Keyboard with a number pad (not bluetooth). This keyboard doesn't work with my Mac Pro. I have it plugged in, but I can't get the Mac Pro to consistently recognize that there is a USB keyboard connected to it. What magical stuff do I have to do to get the keyboard to be fit for purpose?

It would not hurt to try an SMC Reset. (But if it does not help, it adds credence to lllaass assertion that the keyboard is not working.)

When a pdf file is opened in a tab, the automatic scroll function from the pad does not work in the other tabs, but only for the particular PDF tab.

The scroll function from the pad/mouse does not work for the other tabs when a PDF file is opened.

Hi NSHS,
Have you checked to see if your PDF add-on is up to date? You should take a look at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article. There is a lot of good information in there. You should try both of the suggested PDF add-ons to see if that fixes the issue.
Hopefully this helps!

Numbers on number pad won't work

My keyboard is an apple one and is plugged into my iMac desktop. The numbers on the keyboard work but only the numbers above the letters. How do I get my number pad to work?

What model/year is your Mac?
Which OS version? (You are not running iOS any version).
And, which model is your keyboard?
If it is new, simply take it into your nearest Apple store and ask for assistance.

Changed phone number, phone no longer working.

I have an LG Lucid 4G phone that is no longer working after changing the phone number. The area code for the new number is the same as the old. This was done online and the instructions stated that all I needed to do was a power cycle and the phone would update automatically. I did this but the phone did not update. The number shown online for the phone is the new number so it looks like the change has taken place just not on the phone. I also tried a reset and then pulling the battery and sim card but the phone still will not update. Going to "about phone" and viewing the phone number the old number is still there.
Is it possible I need a new sim card or is there something else that could be the problem?

After changing the number online (from my home PC). I did a power cycle on the phone but it did not update. I then logged off of myverizon then back on and the new number was reflected on my account. This was done from my home PC. I tried another power cycel on the phone but would not update. At this point I tried a reset with no luck. Finally, I tried pulling the battery and sim card, powering on and still would not update.
