External 10-key keypad issues

http://www.targus.com/us/product_Details.asp?SKU=PAUK10U
I bought the above keypad to add a number pad back to my laptop, as I've always preferred having one for reasons ranging from number crunching to gaming. The packaging said it'd work without any installation, and that it was OSX compatible. Being a Targus product, I figured the brand to be reasonably reliable based on past experience. 0123456789+-/* <-- the string of characters there indicates that it IS working, however its behavior is erratic, to say the least:
Safari: Works perfectly.
iChat: Works, but beeps with each keypress.
iTunes: Numbers appear, but disappear almost immediately (or after 3 keystrokes if I'm typing fast)
Turn off the numlock and it works just fine in all applications.
Suffice to say, a driver of some sort is necessary. However since the keyboard obviously lacks a shift key, make no mention of a key just to the right of one, it's impossible to get the built-in wizard to recognize it on its own. Anyone out there know any ways to solve the problem? Barring that, any similar products you can recommend?
Thanks in advance!

  • 8700g Strange Keypad Issue: Letters typed do not appear on screen

    I support two 8700g users.  I too am an 8700g user and have not experienced this problem: randomly and intermittently, the users report when they are typing messages on the keypad, strange combinations of letters appear instead.  There is no apparent pattern to which keys are pressed, what order they are pressed in, or what appears on the screen; this, too, is random.  This aggravating problem appears and disappears at will whether or not the battery is removed or not.  Of the two units, one is brand new as of January 2008 while the other has had some exposure to water and has been wiped twice, once for this weird keypad issue.  The language selected is English and the auto-text is off on both units. The units otherwise work according to specification.  We are on a BES using MS Exchange. I have read on other boards sometimes there are identifiable patterns in what is keyed and what appears, but I have not been able to establish such patterns with these users.  Can anyone offer a diagnosis and a permanent solution?  Thank you.
    Solved!

    Thank you, Bifocals, for your reply!  Memory is an issue, but more importantly a recognizable pattern DID emerge so I could identify and resolve the issue: when the user typed "a" they got "on on" and when they typed "no" they got "pt no pot" - which I learned is caused by the input language accidentally being changed to Catala.  I learned via this and in other BB forums the input language can be easily changed when the ALT and CAP keys are pressed simultaneously, the old way of locking the keyboard on the BB 7250.
    Eureka!
    Thanks again,

  • KEY PRESS ISSUES

    I own a Pre Plus on Verizon. I have read the numerous posts describing issues with keyboard key press difficulties. What I haven't seen, is any resolution to the problem. Personally, The keyboard size is OK. The unreliable key press issues are driving me nuts. The worst key on my Pre+ is the "e" key and some others, mostly on the top row of keys. I first press, nothing, press again, maybe nothing or multiple entries of "e", The "y" is second worst. Same issues. Is ANYBODY doing anything to resolve this problem?
    Post relates to: Pre Plus p101vzw (Verizon)
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The last software update 1.4.11 addressed this issue on the Verizon Palm Pre Plus. If you are on earlier software version you need to update your device to the latest SW version. If you are on the latest SW version you may have a hardware problem with the device. You should go to Device Info from your launcher, tap the drop-down menu, choose Tests, then Interactive Tests, then test your keypad for problems. If this test fails then you should get a replacement device from Verizon.

  • External USB numeric keypad

    Just got a no-name external USB numeric keypad but it doesn't work. Tried turning "num lock" on and off but nothing. System preferences wants me to press the key to the right of the shift key but there isn't one so it never identifies the keypad. Any suggestions appreciated.

    There was an earlier thread "Micro Innovations USB Numeric Keypad" with a very similar question. Unfortunately a resolution was never posted.

  • My iphone5 has a keypad issue of getting stuck and blinking of display the phone doesn't work until it's turned off and turned on

    my iphone5 has keypad issue which is getting stuck and the display starts blinking the phone doesn't respond until it's turned off n switched on what might be the solution ???

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • BB Flip External Display Caller Notification Issue

    Hello-
    I have owned this phone for approximately two weeks; and until today it was working perfectly. As of today the external display is no longer working for "caller ID" or incoming call notification. The temporary fix was to disable the "auto answer" function for convenience, although this does not truly solve the problem.
    The question is how can I restore the external display as it was working prior to today with the display of "caller ID" incoming call notification? Incoming emails, SMS previews; continue to work properly on the external display, and the issue appears to be isolated to incoming call notification.
    Is this a bug with the device, or is their a fix to the problem?
    Any help or guidance greatly appreciated.

    It is not loading the records, where fields are enclosed in '"' (Rec # 2,3,4,7)

    Our questions
    Why did "REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS" not working?
    Why did Terminated by "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' not working?
    Any idea?
    Thanks in helping.

    I don't think this is a SQLDeveloper issue. You will get better answers in the Database - General or perhaps SQL and PL/SQL forums.

    Is it feasible?

  • Key shortcut, issue, typing something in editing code and changing language going directly to snippets.

    Key shortcut, issue, typing something in editing code and changing language going directly to snippets.
    So the problem is that I have to click in the editing code again to write in different language, which it didn't happened before.
    Just in case of shortcut keys collision I completly removed the shortcut of snippets from shift+F9, nothing changed. I really can't understand why when I press Alt+Shift to change language it goes straight to the snippets.
    If anyone can help would save me from nervous breakdown! 
    Thanks,
    GKD

    Since this appears to be a "just started happening" issue, have you tried clearing the program cache?
    Deleting a corrupted cache file
    That tends to catch a lot of weird behaviors and straighten them out.

  • Latitude e7450 - Repeating Keys/Debouncing Issue is present in this model too

    Not sure how to get attention to this, as I do not think Dell is aware of this problem since this model was only released a month ago.  The repeating keys/debouncing issue described here  , is present in this new model Latitude e7450 in both bios A00 and A01.  Please make this bug known, so that Dell is able to fix it in a bios update!

    So, I also found and posted in this thread  about the issue with the E7450
    and basically that is the aggregation of all the posts on this repeating keys/debouncing issue on ALL affected models.  Honestly as a developer, I'm pretty shocked at how bad Dell support really is.  I've been lucky enough to never have any hardware issues until now...
    They chose to have a forum for their customer service, fine; that works with many other companies. But they should have at least split the forums into laptop series,by model number, have a bug tracker and paid more than 1 guy to relay issues to the engineering team.. This is ridiculous and utter chaos reading through these threads and it is enough to make me question buying a high priced Dell ever again.  Like many people I went with Dell Latitude after Lenovo created that awful macbook-like clickable touchpad, but it looks like their 2015 models are bringing back hardware left/right click buttons again so that might be my next purchase.

  • Serious Keyboard Key Mapping Issue

    Hi there everyone...
    Yesterday evening, while i was watching a movie on my Macbook, i accidentally pressed the command button, and all of a sudden the movie stopped playing.
    After some research on the internet, I activated the keyboard palette, and found out that several keys had issues
    1. The left command button behaved as if i was pressing command + . (period key)
    2. The right command button behaved like command + up arrow key
    3. The up arrow key like issue 2 above
    4. The period key like issue 1 above
    p.s. the up arrow and period keys arent working at all, they just behave as i explained above
    Since it had to do with a modifier key, i tried to change the modifier key settings, but even though i tried accessing the modifier key settings through preferences, no pop-up window opened and no change could be made.
    Even though i tried a PRAM zapping, nothing happened because as i understand it, the system doesnt recognise the shortcut, since together with command,option,p,r, the period key is seen pressed as well.
    If anyone can help please do!
    Thanks for your time everyone,

    So I booted from the install disk.... Didnt now what exactly to do, so i use the terminal to see if the problem with the keys persisted... And unfortunately it did.... Didnt know what to do next so i quit and booted again...
    But i restarted my macbook, only to boot into hardware test mode, to see if the problem really is on hardware side.
    I am running an extended test, but poking around a bit, i noticed that the up arrow key worked fine...
    Waiting now to see the results from the test, which i will post after it's finished.

  • Automatic BRS - External transaction Keys

    Dear Gurus,
    Please provide the standard external transaction keys used for MT490
    are these external transaction types are common across all the banks or are they different.. ?
    Regards,
    Abhijeet

    Hi Abhijeeth,
    From your previous post it seems you are trying to configure Electronic Banking Statement Configuration and if i'm not wrong,looks like you are bit confused about the basic account determination objects used. Below is the high level understanding  of these, let me know if you have any further questions.
    As you might know about the functionality of EBS, lets not get into. Basic terminology used in this customizing 1. Internal Trans type 2. External Tran Type 3. Posting Rules 4. Posting Key 5. Account Symbols. Its important how this is interlinked and data flow from bank statement to GL.
    1. Internal Trans Type: Typically bank provides data in various formats, few of these formats are BAI, MT940, SWIFT and MultiCash. Each formats differs by how data is provided by housebank. Most commonly in US we use BAI(2) format. You match these with ECC by configuring Internal Trans Type to correspond to bank these formats(BAI, MT940...). SAP ERP provides defaults with all these and as per your clients requirement, you can create additional ,if required. You can assign only one Internal Trans Type to one bank account. (For ex: BAI2 format to Chase)
    2. External Trans Type: For each Internal Trans Type(Ex: BAI) you maintain multiple number of External Trans Types. Using these Ex Tran Type, we Identify different bank transactions in the EBS provided by bank(in this case, format is BAI).  Few of the examples of are Incoming Payment by check, Incoming payment by wire, bank charges, etc: Typically, bank has few hundreds of these trans type's identify each of the individual trans type. As said in the above post, these Ex Trans types are provided by bank to you, depending up on your requirement(I believe, we don't need all of these). Here you might notice one thing, Interpretation Algorithm, Mainly this help in interpreting the reference document number in the trans data(Check number, Account doc. number). One thing to keep in mind, when we assign Internal trans type to you bank account, all these external types implicitly assigned. Hope you got the logic.
    3. Posting Rule: This is basically a connector between Ex Trans type we discussed about to the GL account determination. We define the posting rule with Debit & Credit GL accounts(actually we use account symbols, in turn we assign this to GL a/c). Importan thing here is, knowing about determining posting area and Account Symbol(Instead of assigning GL accounts directly we assing account symbols to debit/credit posting keys.
    4. Account Symbol: We create generic account(For ex: ++++++001) For ex: If you have multiple bank accounts in US, for all these bank accounts configuring individual step of configuring GL account takes time and efforts to make this process easy, we make use of this technique. Make sure, your COA is designed in such  a way to match this.
    As a recap of above,
    1.  We first assign Internal Trans Type to a bank account( For Ex: Chase - BAI2)
    2. The above Internal Trans Type is assigned to multiple External Trans Type (BAI2 --> 101-Incoming Payment by check, 102, Incoming payment by wire transfer.....)
    3. Transaction in the incoming data contains an External Tran Type (For Ex: 101 & 102)
    4. As you might know from above, We connect the External Trans type to GL account using Posting rule. For that reason, we assign posting rule to Ex Trans type.
    5. Posting rule is Assigned to Account Symbol which in-turn assigned to GL account.
    6. Finally data flows to your respective bank GL account.
    MBS & Check Depost: As you might observed or know, MBS and Check deposit, follows the same technique differs at few places.
    Tran-Codes: Configuration: IMG, Import Bank Statement to ECC: FF_5

  • Keypad issue when typing

    Hi.
    I'm having keypad issues with my Blackberry Curve 3G.  It has been fine all day but since about 5pm, when I press the green 'call' button, it has been bringing up the letters 'jk'. It also does the same thing when I type 'f', 'j', 'k' and use the caps button.  Last time a software update fixed this, however I am now using the latest OS.
    My daughter got hold of it earlier and had one corner of it in her mouth.  Could this be the issue? Will it rectify itself once dried out?

  • Kernel panic booting from external usb key or CD

    I detected small Hard disk problems on my Macbook Pro (10.6.8 totally updated)  using disk utility so I decide to restart from CD but have a kernel panic when booting from CD. I also tried to boot from an external USB key that had 10.6 installation on it (the usb key is working because my friend test it on its own computer) and the same happens: a constant kernel panic when I try to boot from an external drive.....
    The kernel is showing a kind of com.apple.driver.cpumanagment problem.
    I tried everything: I reset the pram, the smc, did a safe boot from my internal partition, try the other usb slot, nothing works. I always have a kernel panic booting from an external source....
    What could it be?

    It looks like you are trying to run a Mac OS X version which isn't compatible with your Mac, so I suppose you have a Mid 2010 or Early 2011 MacBook Pro.
    These MacBooks Pro came with a special Mac OS X Snow Leopard version, and you can't start in them from a Mac OS X version older than the one that came with them or from a Snow Leopard retail DVD or USB drive
