Enter/return key wont work

I cant get it to work properly.It will only work with number lock on
macbook pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

Is it the original Mac Pro keyboard ? Or is it a different USB keyboard ?
I have exactly this when I try to use my old Bondi iMac keyboard in any other Mac, usually a PB.
I'll try your fix tho !!

  • Enter/return key issue.

    We have a new Macbook Pro and the enter/return key does not work with software unless we push the shift key at the same time. It only does this on one user as well. Other users on the computer the enter/return key works fine. As an example - if you are done with a sentence in Pages and you hit the enter/return button to go to the next line nothing happens unless you also hold the shift key down. Any ideas?

    I have found a solution that works in Excel 2011. But you can try to see if this solution would work for Pages also. Remember, where the instructions below refer to Excel substitute it with Pages instead. From what I am understanding you want to click the RETURN key and move down to the next line in the document. Hopefully it works.
    If you want to click the RETURN key and have the cursor go from the current cell to the the next row in Column A (i.e. The cursor is in cell B2, click RETURN, the cursor moves to A3) do the following:
    1) Click on the Apple logo in the upper left corner of your desktop.
    2) Click SYSTEM PREFERENCES.
    3) Click KEYBOARD.
    4) In the KEYBOARD box click KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS.
    5) Click APPLICATION SHORTCUTS from the left menu.
    6) Click the + (plus sign) that appears to the left of the Restore Defaults
    button.
    6) In the box that appears select EXCEL for the APPLICATION you want to apply this shortcut to. (if Excel does not appear on the list, click on OTHER at the bottom of the list, click MICROSOFT OFFICE, then click EXCEL).
    7) In the MENU TITLE field enter the name you would like to give this shortcut (i.e. ACTIVE CELL). Click the RETURN key(enter) to continue.
    The cursors will now appear in the KEYBOARD SHORTCUT field. Click the RETURN (enter) key once. The shortcut will now appear in the KEYBOARD SHORTCUT field.
    9) Click ADD.
    Now go into the spreadsheet and test the shortcut. Enter information into the spreadsheet into a number of cells in the same row (move between the cells either with the TAB key or RIGHT ARROW), When you are done entering your information, then click RETURN. The cursor should now move to the next row in COLUMN A (i.e. The cursor is in cell B2, click RETURN, the cursor moves to A3).
    Hope it works for you as well as it did for me.

  • OneNote 2013: Font changes when pressing Enter / Return key

    I have the same problem as this guy (who didn't get a relevant answer): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/233833f7-dde8-414d-bdca-604ed8d57667/onenote-2013-font-changes-when-pressing-enter-return-key?forum=officeitpro
    I set my default to Calibri 14, but every time I press enter (I make a lot of bullet lists) the font changes to Calibri 11. 

    Hi,
    Did you change the default font after you typed a few words in a note container?
    Setting the default font in Microsoft Office OneNote affects text that you type in new note containers only. It does not affect existing text or text that you add to existing note containers.
    If you want to change the font in an existing note container, you need to change it manually under
    Home tab > Basic Text.
    Thanks,

  • Need ENTER / return key on LEFT side of keyboard

    I need an enter / return key (or key combo) on left side of my keyboard. Any idea how to do that?
    Thanks, in advance!

    Startly's QuicKeys is probably the least troublesome way because some programs ignore the system settings.

  • I can't open my mail unless I use the Enter/Return key or go to the File -Open Message

    Up until yesterday I could open an email just by double clicking the message. Now if I want to open a message I have to use the Enter/Return key or go into FILE and press Open Message.
    The only thing different since yesterday morning is that I decided to turn off File Vault --that process took all day but finally finished and that's when I ran into problems with mail.
    I've checked my mail settings and they are the same as before. Have OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 installed.

    Is this problem in Firefox? It sounds as if you are referring to an email program such as Apple Mail or Mozilla Thunderbird. As far as I know, you can't open emails in Firefox with File > Open Message because there is no such option.
    </blockquote>
    Thank you for your response. I finally found out why this was happening. It had to do with the Trackpad settings for my Mac. I adjusted the track speed to a slower speed as it was set quite fast. This seems to have fixed the problem :)
    I’m not too computer savy so sometimes things can be a little confusing trying to figure out whats what and where to look for solutions.
    Thank you

  • HT201178 when using apple bluetooth keyboard with iPad, hitting the enter/return key while typing in iMessage only adds another line not 'send' the message? is there a setting to change that somewhere?

    when using apple bluetooth keyboard with iPad, hitting the enter/return key while typing in iMessage only adds another line not 'send' the message? is there a setting to change that somewhere?

    Everywhere that I've checked it is not possible to do this. I would like to even do this using the vkb. I hate having to stretch my thumb all the way up just to send a message. It's messaging, not a report or email. Seems backwards. Hopefully some day Apple can add this option.

  • 6500 slide, whole right side of keys wont work?!

    this happend 2 months into owning the handset. along with other glitches that arent too much of a problem.
    the keys (top left one and 3,6,9,# wont work!!!) anybody know what i can do? thanks x

    hi...
    Your phone has a problem with the ribbons...so basically thats a hardware problem and needs to be checked by a nokia technician...
    Alternatively,if the phone is under warranty then you can return it to where you bought it from...(if its not water damage then they'll replace.)
    !!!OHOO!!!

  • 'O' Key Wont Work Sometimes

    Yesterday my 'O' key randomly started to go weird; all of my other buttons work perfectly but when I press the 'O' button, sometimes it wont work. I have absolutely no idea what has caused this but any help would be amazing! The phone is 8 days old and uninsured so I need a fix as I can't send it back!
    Thanks in advance!

    Since it seems to be a hardware problem, so would request you to visit nearest Blackberry Authorised Service Station who can look into the matter and can suggest.
    Because your problem doesnt seems to be a software issue which can be resolved online.
    Hope that resolves your issue!

  • My Delete Key wont work

    I dont understand. It was working earlier today and then when I was replying to a message i wanted to delete something and now the Delete < Key dont work. Why is this? My phone is about a month old?
    I took out the battery for about 5 min and still nothing.
    Any help please?

    Are you having any issue with any other key not working?
    What happens when you press the delete key? What about if you choose Menu > Delete?
    Sometimes, a key not working or acting odd, is a result of moisture damage... even left in a bathroom during a hot steamy shower can affect the keyboard.

  • Satellite A300-1M1 - cursors keys wont work

    Hi everyone.
    I have one Satellite A300-1M1, and in this last weekend both "up" and "down" keys just stop working. At the same time which is very strange.
    What should i do ? is it dust ? Ive just cleaned the entire keyboard with a bottle of air spray, and problem remains.
    The warranty has just expired last November.
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers

    I dont know what do you want to hear. If the keys are not working you must exchange the keyboard.
    What you can try is to test keys functionality in BIOS settings. If the keys dont work there too I presume it must be some mechanical problem.
    You can also try to remove key caps and clean them up.
    What else you can do?
