ESC Caps Lock and Tab keys not working

I have keys that are not responding on the key board while others are working just fine.

Please reset the SMC, this may take up to 3 attempts to "take." If you still have trouble then try a USB keyboard and see if that works, if it does that points the finger at the keyboard which will need to be replaced.
To do a SMC reset, simply power off the computer, remove the power cord from both the wall and computer, wait 15-20 seconds and reboot.

10.10.3 caps lock and tab key problems

Since I upgraded to 10.10.3 I've had no tab key or caps lock. No one else has written about this. Am I the only one having these problems?
I guess I will take the keyboard home to try with a different Mac.

Hi venustas,
It sounds like you updated your computer and now 2 keys do not appear to be working. You should use this section of the following article to troubleshoot that:
OS X Yosemite: If keys on your keyboard don’t work
If other keys don’t work
You may have accidentally set an option that changes how your keyboard operates.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Dictation & Speech, then click Text to Speech. If “Speak selected text when the key is pressed” is selected, deselect it or click Change Key to select another key.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Keyboard. Make sure Slow Keys is turned off. If Slow Keys is on, you must hold down a key longer than usual before it’s recognized.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Mouse & Trackpad. Make sure Mouse Keys is off. If Mouse Keys is on, pressing keys in the numeric keypad moves the pointer instead of entering numbers.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard, then click Input Sources. Select “Show Input menu in menu bar.” Open the Input menu, then make sure the correct keyboard layout is selected.
To see the keyboard layout, click Keyboard, then choose “Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar.”
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Pavilion dv4-1275mx notebook - once-flashing leds @ caps lock and scroll keys @ start-up

My HP Pavilion dv4-1275mx notebook runs Windows Vista Home Premium service pack 1 for 64x-based systems.
Recently, when I turn it on, the led lights @ the caps lock and scroll keys repeatedly flash once.
I'm not sure what, if anything, happened prior to this starting. It's possible that there was a power surge when it was shut off, or it may be related to doing a McAfee virus scan or installing the latest version of a software, e.g., Adobe Reader.
I was able to use my System Recovery disks to reinstall the Vista software, thinking this might "kickstart" my computer into working, e.g., as part of the restart process. After the reinstallation, I was able to use my computer, although the led lights continued to flash. However, once I shut down my computer, I have been unable to restart it. The leds continue to flash upon start-up, and I have not been successful in again reinstalling the Vista software. (I thought if could get my computer to work again that way, it might stay accessible if I used hiberate mode instead of shutting it down.)
The computer's about 4-1/2 years old. The screen has a short of some kind (only turning on when the screen is low to the keyboard, so I use an external monitor.

Try the steps in the following weblink:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c00372748
If the issue persists, please read the following document, understand the LED blink code, identify the root cause and try troubleshooting appropriately:

Why does Caps Lock and F keys log me out of websites?

MacBook Air 11" Core i5, OS X 10.7.2, Safari 5.1.2.
Caps Lock and F keys seem to log me out of websites like Jimdo and stop BBC iPlayer from playing video, why? Most annoying. As you can't turn up the volume with out stopping the video and the system going back to the beginning of the video.

On a Mac OS X system: System Preferences->Keyboard and Mouse->Keyboard(tab)->Modifier Keys(button): set Caps Lock to No Action (or to plain Shift if you prefer). Some people like Caps Lock. They can keep it. Others (like me) keep pressing it by mistake. We disable it. Everybody's happy. And if you're a No Caps Lock type of person, but really want it on rare occasion, just map it back temporarily. Takes 5 seconds.

Using caps lock key as caps lock and control key

I'd like to use the caps lock key as caps lock and control key. While I can convert the caps lock to control key very easily, there seems no way to make it both caps lock and control. Is there any way to do this? I use emacs and it'd be really useful to be able to do this.
Thanks.

Finally found something that worked for me. See this thread and look for the post about removing the Hitoolbox plist files.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10765093&#10765093
I removed all of them. (Had multiples) Also make sure you empty the trash afterwards.
Then restart.
Then I used the modifier key trick in this thread. Turned off the caps lock key. Then restart.
Then use the modifier key trick and turn the caps lock key back on. Test to see if your lights come back on for the caps lock key.
If so, next time you restart it should still work. Finally. This thing has been dogging me for a long time.

How can I get a Caps Lock indicator to show on my Aspire E1 571?

I can't see any indicator to show if Caps Lock or Number Lock is on. There are no LEDs on the keyboard, the function key brings up a notification on screen but not caps or num lock. Thanks

I wanted to know the answer and found this solution when trawlling though the official aer site: This article only applies to: Windows 8 When pressing the Num Lock or Caps Lock on your keyboard, there is no notification to indicate the status. The on-screen indicators for Num Lock and Caps Lock are not available in Windows 8. Instead, it is possible to activate a beep signal when the key is pressed: Press theWindows () key to open the Start screen.. Type Control and select Control Panel.In the Control Panel, selectEase of Access.SelectChange how your keyboard works.EnableTurn on Toggle Keys.Click or tapOK to save the changes.

HT203254 Caps lock and Shift Key behavior

Hi,
I am using mac from 3 years now but just notice one bug or feature in Key board.
If my caps lock is on and I type any character with Shift press I am expecting character in lower case but it is always coming up in Capital. So looks like caps lock is not changing behavior of shift key. Is this always like this or is there any configuration that I can change.
-Samar

Thanks Carson for reply.
May be I not able to explain the problem earlier. Caps Lock is working perfectly fine. As my understanding and hows the windows or linux keyboard works with this scenario I am expecting lower case character when I have Caps lock ON and I press any character with Shift Key.
Step 1 :Caps Lock On
Step 2: Shift Key + I <<You can press any character>>
Expected result Is "A" but result COMES AS "A"

Hi @datsky ,
It sounds like you might have accidentally turned on Sticky Keys while you were cleaning your keyboard, and now the keyboard is acting as if the Windows logo key is constantly pressed.
Use these steps to disable Sticky Keys:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Ease of Access.
3. Click Change how your keyboard works (or Make the keyboard easier to use).
4. Remove the check mark from the box next to Turn on Sticky Keys.
The keyboard should work normally now. If not, the key might be physically stuck. Try pressing the Windows logo key a few times to see if it will come un-stuck.
Please click the thumbs up button to say "Thanks!"

All of a sudden my "p" key and "caps Lock" key are not working. tried pram and smc resets but does not help. Want to know if it is a hard ware or a software issue. Im using a a MAC Book Pro that i bought ony 15 days back

First assumption: its faulty wiring, judging by this being your first post, im guessing its a new mac? Id call apple or replace it at the store you got it from if you didnt buy through online or applestore.

How to remap the PrtScr, Scroll Lock and Pause keys on a PC keyboard?

This has been bothering me for a long time, I've bought a Cherry's Standard PC Keyboard G80-3000 (forgive to abandoned Apple's USB keyboard) two months ago. It's all good except one thing: THERE IS NO VOLUME CONTROL FUNCTION KEYS ON THIS KEYBOARD!!
The PreScr key act as F13 and the other two are totally dead! Is there any way I can remap those three to: Increase Volume, Decrease Volume and Mute keys?
Or any software can create the shortcuts for volume up and down?
Is it possible or I've been punished?
SOS!!!

There are at least a couple of utilities, namely uControl and DoubleCommand, that do part of what you need (key mapping).
In addition, if you do not worry about XML, you may directly remap your keys following directions you can find here: http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/Site/Cocoa%20Text%20System.html
