Help! Keyboard randomly stops working only with finder?

My macbook pro keyboard and my silver Apple bluetooth keyboard (primary keyboard) randomly stop working in Finder can anyone explain? Heres the details:
I usually use my wireless keyboard, and when this happens the keyboard keeps working with everything else, and only stops working in Finder i.e. I can't edit the names of files or even click through files with the arrow keys. (the Macbook Pro keyboard also stops working-only in Finder-during these times too as I just tested..)
Also, Finder keeps working its not frozen or anything, I can click around in it with the mouse and open files/apps, etc.
This has only happened approximately 3 or 4 times (I've had the keyboard since the new ones were released and the computer for 1.5 yrs)
Lastly, when I restart the OS (10.4.11) the problem disappears for a week or more..
help!

Don't do that. Archbang isn't Arch and it doesn't "get rid of installation pain," it just turns it into long term confusion and dependence...

My camera on my iPad 2 has stopped working for the second time.

My camera on my iPad.2 has stopped working for the 2nd time. Last time it just started working again after a couple of months.
I have tried closing the camera app completely & also re-booting the iPad completely but to no avail.
Any ideas anyone?

You'll first need to have iTunes on your computer - from the summary page (the one that opens when you select the iPad in iTunes) it'll give you options for backing up and restoring it. On that page just select 'restore iPad' and that'll get it started.
Hope it's just software then, those out-of-warranty replacements can get pricey.

2010 Keyboard Randomly Stops Working

Hi All,
I have a 2010 Macbook Pro 6,1 running 10.6.8. It runs fine, however, the keyboard will randomly stop working. The trackpad continues to work fine, but in order to get keyboard function I have to either restart (which sometimes doesn't work) or plug in an external keyboard.
Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening, or what I can do to fix it? Thank you!

T410 keyboard randomly stops working

Running Windows 7 x64 Enterprise edition and recently started having issues where the laptop keyboard stops working. Mouse still works so it's possible to shutdown and reboot, but without connecting a USB keyboard there's no way to continue typing.
Rebooting and I'm back up and operational.
Looked in the error logs and don't see anything that would make me think that there's an issue (if someone can point me to what it should be) so I'm perplexed.
Just started happening this past week and I'm uncertain of any updates that have been pushed.
Thoughts? Anyone?

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work.
Further, the issue occurs on both the X201 and W510.
Using the 14.0.18 driver still has the issue of the keyboard randomly stop taking inputs while running Windows 7. If using with PGP Disk or TrueCrypt, the BIOS level password still takes keyboard input, but Windows itself does not - very frustrating.
Newest BIOS available in use across all machines.

T60 Thinkpad Keyboard randomly stops working.

Have a couple of T60 thinkpads which experience the same problem sporadically.
The keyboard will stop working and all key presses other than the Fn+ combinations will cease to function.
This can occur at the logon screen or sometimes after successful logon and use of the notebook it will stop with no apparent cause.
There appears to be no pattern to when or why this will occur.
Any suggestions welcomed.

Hi antb, welcome to the forum,
I would try re-seating the keyboard connectors, how you remove the kb can be found here

Indesign Keyboard randomly stops working

At random times the keyboard wil completely stop working in Indesign. It works fine in all other applications (including other Adobe apps) but does nothing in Indesign.
Then if you click through some of the menus for a while it will start working again. This happens on ALL our machines.
How do I fix this?

Hi Peter,
I'm using Windows XP Service pack 3
hardware:
Intel Core 2 Duo 2,131 Mhz
6 Gig ram, Geforce 7300 GT
Indesign CS4 version 6.0.1 (This is all I can see about version?)
Hope this helps.
Thanks

My keyboard randomly stops working

I was playing tetris on facebook and all the sudden I couldnt do the fast drop (spacebar). it was weird because i could still use the arrow keys to move the pieces and the shift key worked too. I clicked on the address bar and tried to type but nothing. but I could use my arrow keys still. I clicked on spot light same thing. They keys that did work were only the top row where the brightness, music, volume etc.. buttons are. I eventually restarted my computer and now it works. This has happened before. does anyone know of any fixes?
I also noticed that the key J would move the cursor diagonally down to the left. and the K key moved the cursor straight down. and they L key moved the cursor diagonally down to the right.

hey i just posted a discussion about this. what I have figured out is that if you press alt (option) 5 times in a row it shuts off the keys, well most of the keyboard. figured it out while playing snes. as i had alt set for a command. and it used to shut off alot while playing. so there you have it. alt 5 times turns them on and off.
you heard it here first from THE "marcus sexton" thank you.
please commment on my post so i know you got the info and if it has worked for you.
so that's alt 5 times. turn them on or off. works both ways.

My wired Apple mouse stopped working for a short time. Trying to figure out why.

System OSX Version 10.9.5 Processor 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7 I was surfing the web & my mouse was stuck on the screen. Could this be some kind of virus- spyware or malware? Never had this happen before. The keyboard the mouse is connected 2 kept working but the mouse stoped working momentarily. I pushed F3 & unplugged my mouse & plugged it back in. this fixed it but I am not sure that had anything to do with what caused my mouse to stop working.

Could be the USB port within the keyboard may have a problem in sustaining
a good connection. Sometimes those extra ports in keyboard fail. You can
see in the hardware portion of the activity monitor software in OS X what is
visible to the system as part of the chained USB items attached to the Mac.
To have a known-good spare mouse, keyboard, and any cable extensions,
is always a fair idea for the sake of troubleshooting and to get past a failure.
I use powered USB hubs with my Macs; but plug the keyboard directly into
the computer so as to have few issues with cold startup keyboard shortcuts.
The mouse does OK plugged into the hub, and a hub positioned so it can
be accessed easier than ports on the back of the computer makes sense.
If there is another hardware issue, or odd software extensions or add-ons
in your main user account, you'd have to test for those possibilities. To
try a second account to see if the same kinds of applications make it fail,
or run the Apple Hardware Test in the main user account, may not take
into the result any software that you'd use when normally at the Mac.
Sometimes the wire to the mouse can get weak and fail near the mouse;
so when that happens, it's best to have a spare on hand, ahead of trouble.
On the other hand, software conflicts could cause a frozen mouse or any
kind of odd pointer activity.
Good luck & happy computing!

Blackberry 8330 keyboard doesn't work for the 2nd time

Hi, this is the second time that this has happened to me. The first time, I had finished a text message, and left it on my bed, only to come back an hour later, and the entire keyboard didn't work. The only thing that worked was the trackball, but it could only move around; I wasn't able to click it or anything. After many battery pulls, I looked online, and saw that I could try to reload the OS using application loader. I did that, but I was left with the same error. I eventually ended up having to go to the store, and as I was still under warranty, got them to replace it for me. All in all, a huge hassle. Lo and behold, two months later, the same issue is back. I've tried the battery pulls, and reloading the OS, but nothing seems to work! Any ideas? I don't want to have to keep going back to the store to replace it.

I have the same problem on My Blackberry 8310 Curve..

My photoshop elements 11 organizer stopped working for the 30th+ time. Windows 7 Professional...

Elements 11 Organizer stopped. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close and notify you if a solution is found.
Help, has anyone solved this?

Hi Michel
Have tried those few things that seem to be still applicable to version 11 (as you will know it is not being maintained and stops at version 8).
However, I don't understand what is meant by "sometimes deleting it's saved preferences and registry entries fixes the problem. To do that see these Adobe Tech. notes." Unfortunately the link goes to a page which no longer exists. I guess that rather than "deleting" the saved preferences the author means re-setting to default ? "Deleting registry entries" is a task which should, as I understand it, only be done by those with a high degree of expertise. I am not one of them !
Any comment you have will be gratefully received.

My incoming mail server stopped working for the 3rd time Help?

This is the third time my incoming mail server stopped working any suggestions on how to repair this?
Thank You!

If Apple replaced the logic board three times for the same issue, and the third board has now broken for the same reason, you may be able to ask Apple for a replacement machine. You're out of warranty, and Apple is under no obligation to do anything for you (unless the current logic board was replaced by Apple less than 90 days ago in which case it's still under warranty), however, as a good will gesture, they may be willing to exchange your system for another one. You can start at the Apple store or call Apple customer care directly.

Keyboard randomly stopped working

I just woke my computer from sleep (PowerBook G4, 1.67 GHz) and noticed that the keyboard wasn't responding to anything at all - even the function keys wouldn't work (brightness, volume, etc.). I rebooted, and STILL the keyboard would not respond. At this point I got a little nervous, since now I couldn't log into my account (couldn't type the password).
I then tried shutting the computer off completely and booting it up cold. Now the keyboard appears to be working again. I put the computer to sleep and woke it up, and it's still fine.
This is the first (and so far only) time this has happened. The computer is about 2 and a half years old and I'm running OS X 10.5.1.
Is this indicative of a hardware problem, or just some weird random bug? Does anyone have any experience or insight into this? Thanks very much.

I'm having the same issue. PowerBook G4, 15-inch with Apple bluetooth mouse and Apple bluetooth keyboard. Keyboard and mouse lose their connection to the PowerBook randomly, and freeze. Nothing but a reboot fixes it. Toggling bluetooth on and off doesn't work. This has been going on since the Leopard upgrade.
If I plug a mouse into the USB port it gets the pointer moving and I can initiate the reboot procedure.
A patch was issued to fix this problem on the MacBook and MacBook Pro, but folks (Apple) it's happening on the G4 too!
I don't know if it's a bluetooth issue, something with the keyboard and mouse, or some kind of heartbeat problem within the OS.
I completely wiped the machine and did a fresh install of Leopard to see if it would fix the problem. It did not.

Why does the keyboard randomly stop working on my macbook pro in Firefox?

It just happens randomly and only in Firefox. If I close out and reopen Firefox it works again. (On the beta update channel version 37)

it will happen cause it is the beta version so it will happen until it is fixed''dmetre [[#question-1051346|said]]''

The Audio randomly stops working for no reason.

Half way through the finished video, the audio just cuts out and sometimes plays the audio from other videos over it.
I've tried making a completely new video, but it does exactly the same thing. What is wrong?

Hp Premium Digital Headset

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
I plug in my headset and if i press the mute mic button, a blue light comes on telling me that headset "is" working. I can press this as much as I want, the blue light will just go on and off. all good.
I then go to speaker button on taskbar and set HP headset as default. If I had left the mutemic on, the light will now go out. no sound will play from my speakers.
When I click "► Test"
an Error! message appears saying "Failed to play test tone."
My headset has worked previously and sometimes it does work. My efforts to fix the problem seem to be futile and it is a random chance that it will work.
I have tried every USB port on my PC, I have tried updating but it says "The best driver software for your device is already installed"
As I was typing this I decided to plug it into all my USB ports again and uninstall it from any that do not work, then reboot my PC and try reinstalling it.
While doing this, I encountered this message from Device Manager "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" Updating the driver did not help so I will be uninstalling it from that port.
For one of the USB ports, the first time I tested it, it seemed crackly, I tested it again and the test tone suddenly fails to play.
After restarting, I plugged my headset into my favourite USB port and tested "Failed to play test tone."
I plugged it into the next one down. Crackly noises ensued so I ran the test once more. "Failed to play test tone."
I have got it working in one so I will leave it at that until it that ones stops. The USB port which it works in, was one that it worked in before uninstalling and rebooting.
My problem still remains so if I could have any help, that would be great.
also I am still under warranty so what can I do about that?
