Help! Enter key on the Number Keypad not working on wired Apple Keyboard

Help! The enter key on the number keypad has stopped working and it's making me soooo frustrated. I've looked around my preferences and can't figure out what is going on.

I'd recommend doing a SMC reset, if this doesn't take care of it the key board may have a broken key and will need to be replaced. Here is are the instructions for a SMC reset:
_SMC RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Unplug the computer's power cord.
• Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
• Release the power button.
• Attach the computers power cable.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Regards,
Roger

The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working. Help!

The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working with my Macbook pro. If I plug the keyboard into any other computer, that entier key works fine. I'm using a standard Mac wired keyboard, & it's worked fine for 2 years now. Help!
This is the keyboard I am using: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B/apple-keyboard-with-numeric-keypad
Not sure what I might have accidentily done to disable the enter key. (The normal enter key works fine, just the one on the numeric keypad.)
Thank you for your help.

Hi there,
Do you have any resolution to this problem in the end? Because it happened to me an exact same thing.
Please share if you have found a solution to your problem. I also cannot think of what I did wrong to disable the Enter key.
Best Regards,

How do I remove the enter key on the numeric keypad as a command key?

How do I remove the enter key on the numeric keypad as a command key. I want to use the enter key as a return key.

Don't. It will void the warranty. Take is to an Apple store or an AASP and have them do it.

Hopefully easy question: the number keypad stopped working!

OK, this is a super-minor problem, but I'm hoping that means it's an easy one to fix!
I normally rely on quickkeys or keyboard shortcuts, like in Logic when you just hit the "0" on the number keypad which takes you back to the beginning of the piece. Problem: it stopped working! Now when I hit the 0 I just get the penalty beep. I did trash my preferences earlier today, because I was having problems with a 3rd-party plugin. But I can't find a place in Preferences to enable the number keypad keys.
Help!

If you trash your prefs you automatically delete your Keycommands with it so you should save/export them first before trashing the prefs. Now open the Key command menue, enter "stop" in the little Spotlight menue and reassign the "0" to the command stop.

Number keypad not working.

I am having a weird issue. My number keypad on the keyboard is not working. I thought it was my keyboard, but when I create a new account, it works then. So it is as if I changed something accidently somewhere and now it is not working. I am using Leopard 10.5.3. Is there soemwhere I can go to re-activate the keypad?

Maybe hit the NUM Lock key by accident?
I use 3rd party keyboard; this AM my keyboard wasn't working. All I did was install Xcode 3.1 yesterday and had a very long blue screen for 4 minutes on first boot.
I had to do safe boot and go to keyboard: configure and then reboot.
Odd.

Text entry boxes in CP6 - Enter key to validate input does not work in Safari?

I'm using Captivate 6 to create a step by step walkthrough of some different processes that are commonly completed in my workplace. Some of the example processes have portions where text is entered to simulate a process the end user might need. I have text entry boxes in these slides that require validation of the input to move along, with Enter used as a shortcut key. This works great in Firefox, Chrome and IE all the way down to 8....but if the course is run in Safari, the enter key does nothing. Is this a known issue?
Additional info: For many of these text entry boxes, the point is that it is a search field that has a little binoculars icon next to it that executes the search in the actual software we are simulating. For these slides I actually have the submit button associated with the text box made invisible (no fill, no stroke) and placed on top of the binoculars icon. This is an acceptable method of doing the task we're demonstrating, and just so happens to be a workaround for the enter key not working in Safari. However, a few places we have text entry that doesn't have the search/binocular icon next to it because there is a different goal on that section of the software we're visualizing. In those cases, there is no place for me to put an invisible submit button, and I can't make the submit button visible because that's not how the software we're demonstrating would work (thus defeating the purpose of the training).

Sorry, this is a known bug with no fix available yet, but the makers of SwiftKey are aware of it and we will work with them to fix it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617298
For now, the only solution is to use a different keyboard when using Firefox.

One of my Shift keys not working as well (the right one). Ony the volume keys that are working since i have upgraded to Mavericks.

Some keys not working on wired full keyboard

I recently got hold of a new-style wired keyboard that has the numeric keypad. When I plug it in most of the keys work fine, but the "return" and "caps lock" keys seem to do nothing. I think mechanically they are okay, I suspect there's some kind of key mapping problem.
I've checked the Input Sources section in System Preferences but selecting things like "US Extended" seems to have no effect.

Hello:
Who manufactures the
new-style wired keyboard that has the numeric keypad
If it is third-party, the manufacturer is the best source of information.

FCP Pro Keyboard number keypad not working with Macbook Pro

Switching over to a macbook pro I find my Pro Keyboard number pad has stop working, infact if I try to use it it crashs my computer
any help?

have you tried to repair your permission, and restart mac maybe it works
Kinda hard to do that if the keyboard and trackpad isn't working - don't you agree?
In any event - what were you doing last before your keyboard and trackpad stopped functioning?
Did you do any upgrades to your Macbook?
Have you tried doing a PRAM/NVRAM or SMC reset?

Single row of keys on my Centro keypad not working. How to fix?

For a while a few keys on my Centro were becoming less responsive. Recently I realized that the unresponsive keys were all lined up vertically - "U," "J," and "N." Now I can't get any response from them at all. Is there a good way to try and fix this?
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

I just replied to a similar post and am experiencing the 'exact' same issue. My Centro's keys which are sporatically failing - Y H B . and on/off.
Any feedback on your issue? Did you try a hard reset?

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
