'eight' and 'nine' keys not responding

This wouldn't be such a big issue if all my passwords didn't contain numbers. I can't even update my adobe software for my organic chemistry homework because of the admin lock I have on my macbook requiring a password!
I bought this macbook in 200nine. It is the 13 inch white macbook with snowleopard.
My keyboard is clean and I tried restarting the laptop with no success.
Help!?

Were there any spills on your keyboard recently? If you need access to something requiring your password, plug or pair an external keyboard, or just copy and paste the number that you need into the prompt.
Even if you've been careful, sounds like a potential hardware issue if it's only those 2 keys malfunctioning.

  • Keypad, lock key and front keys not responding

    Ever since about last week, the keys on my Torch have not been responding. The touch screen and the phone itself still works properly except I cannot type with the keypad, cannot lock the phone with the lock button and cannot use the "Call, Off, and return key". The scroller works once in a while. The strange thing is that all those buttons seem to work occassionally. Whenever I turn on my phone, everything works fine for a couple hours and then after that, the buttons just don't work. Also, if and when I am able to use the buttons, the camera screen would open by itself for no reason. I am sure that I did not click the camera button on the side of the phone. 
    I thought that the problem had come up because I had used my phone when my hands were wet, but I already spoke with an At&t worker and after checking my phone, she said it didn't seem to be because of water damage. I didn't drop my phone in a bucket of water or anything and it seems kind of extreme to have become damaged because I used it when my hands were slightly wet. 
    Does anyone know what the problem is, or have a similar problem? 

    I am having the same problem!!! What I usually do is swipe my fingers through all the buttons of the keypad and that does it but it is really frustating and I am afraid that it will eventually damage the board... I need a solution too!

    Try an external keyboard. If it works, you need a new internal keyboard.

    My Apple TV wasn't working so I returned it. I kept the same remote from my previous Apple TV and it's not responding to it. What should I do?

    Don't you have 2 Apple remotes now?
    Either way, hold menu and down key together for 6 secs and that should fix it unless the remote is broken or battery is flat.

  • Chose a photo to print, then the screen went grey (spinning white icon), and iPhoto will not respond

    I chose a picture to print, but instead of a print dialogue box, the screen went grey and iPhoto will not respond.  I have even shut down my iMac completely, but when I relaunch iPhoto, I get the same screen (grey with the spinning "thinking" icon).  I am running the latest version of Yosemite on the iMac.  Thanks for your help.

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair the database  and if necessary rebuild your database

    hello
    The problem appeared two days ago is that I can't open my mail app. everything was fine and functional. Now I double click on the icon and it does not respond. it receives mail and I can see push notifications on the mail icon but when  I try to open it is no use. OS Y 10.10.2 (14C1514)

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Restart the computer. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. Any custom stationery that you created may be lost. Ask for instructions if you want to preserve that data. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • I have Win 7 64bit and the computer "not responding" often.

    The event logs show that Bonjour is the biggest problem in system failures and the computer Not Responding.  Is there a fix for Bonjour or is there a way to run itunes without it?
    If itunes is not compatible for windows 7 Does apple have something else to use for media?

    Hello AEC396
    It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting an errorabout missing drivers.  I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
    I recommend starting with the steps in this article:
    iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
    If you are still having trouble with burning a disc after following the steps in that article, I recommend following the steps in this article:

  • My mail won't open and keeps on "not responding"

    My mail won't open and keeps on "not responding"

    Do a backup.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail.  Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

  • Safari do not open and ends up not responding

    Hi,
    Safari no longer works for me after a software update. Safari will not open and ends up not responding upon launch at which time I have to force quit.
    I have gone through the Mac help forums without finding a suitable answer and I tried the following actions but unfortunately not one is working.
    -I have tried to uninstall and install safari again (to uninstall the program I have deleted also all the cookies in preferences and library and application support);
    -I have created a new user and safari does not work for the new user either.
    It seems to me that the mac feels that a safari window is open but I cannot see it.
    Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

    A few things you can try (I see you have tried some of them already):
    If your Safari won't open, one or more of the following procedures should fix it:
    1. Go to Home/Library/Safari/ folder and remove the following two files:
    ¥ history.plist
    ¥ lastsession.plist
    (Safari may not load properly If these two files are corrupted.)
    2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/ and remove the contents of that folder.
    (These are just webhistory files and are not required for Safari to run. However, similar to preference files, problems can arise if they have become corrupt.)
    3. Locate the cookies.plist file that's located in the Home/Library/Cookies/ folder and remove it.
    (Again, faults in stored cookies may interfere with Safari's launch.)
    4. Check whether any of your third-party internet plug-ins may be interfering with the launch of Safari by carefully moving them to the desktop (do NOT delete them at this stage). You can find these in two places:
    Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder, and Global plug-ins are located in the Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ folder.
    Also look in Library/Input Managers where other third party add-ons may lurk. If you find a SIMBL folder, please note that some SIMBLE.bundles may require updating or possibly removal.
    Restart Safari and place them back in the correct folders, one at a time, closing and re-opening Safari each time. If you discover that one of them was causing the problem with launching Safari, trash it and download and install a fresh copy.
    If Safari is getting very slow:
    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
    If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
    If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
    You could also try these codes as well: 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2
    If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.
    One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x
    This is described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
    If Safari seems to hang for ages:
    If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
    Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type
    killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
    Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page.
    Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The latest versions of Flash 10.1 appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.

  • Coreaudiod and UserEventAgent both not responding

    I noticed in Activity Monitor showing all process on a clean boot I get both coreaudiod and UserEventAgent both not responding. I though this might be something to do with sound but the funny thing is everything seems ok. Audio and video and the general running of the computer seems to be fine unless i had not looked in activity monitor i probably would not of noticed.
    If i quit both processes they dont appear again in red not responding.
    But if i start an app or play a sound ot video they both pop back up again as not responding yet the system functions as normal seemingly and sound and audio works fine.
    Any Ideas. Sure seems a little strange.

    OK fixed it after a bunch of research I found 2 plugins that can ause problems in the
    go to :
    Library\Audio\Plug-Ins folder
    I had a folder called HAL which had a plugin for protools which i dont have anyways and i deleted it. Also there is a app called Hear which had a plugin i deleted as well. So basically if you are having similar issues check the various plug-ins in these folders and try removing them The Protools one is a known culprit as well as the Hear one.

    Hi Mylenium,
    My imac processor 2.66GHZ intel core i5
    Memory 8G 1067MHz DDR3
    Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion)
    When I try to launch CS5 illustrator, sometime it is not responding. It also happen after I launched illustrator and I was just doing some basic design, change type and zoom in and out.
    If I opened both CS5 illustrator and photoshop, while I was working on illustrator and when it start not responding, photoshop also become not responding and vice versa.
    I hope this information is adequate for you and troubleshoot for me what's wrong with my mac.
    Thanks
