HT201321 Numbers pad 4 5 6 and the up down arrow key quit working. I swithched keybouards (Both are Apple, and still have the same problem, its not hardware.)

The 4 5 6 keys and the up down arrows do not work.
I had the Cap C off for a While Had hit some key command
that shut it off so I got a new keyboard and it did the same.
HAs anyone had this problem

Does the problem happen if you reboot the system into Safe Mode by holding the Shift key at startup?
Additionally, does the problem happen if you create a new user account in the Users & Groups system preferences and log into that?

  • How do I get Firefox to go back to scrolling one line at a time with the up/down arrow keys? I noticed this changed in Firefox 10 and I actually preferred the one line at a time, can this be an option in future releases?

    The title says it all, I'm not really sure if this is the proper place to post this as it's not a "bug" per se. I noticed on the list of bugs "fixed" in Firefox 10 scrolling more than one line with the arrow keys was one of them. I know a lot of people hated the one-line thing too so I'd suggest in future releases it should be a preference we can change.

    You can right-click either Back or Forward button to open the tab history list.

  • Why do arrow keys quit working during a reading session

    I've noticed many times while reading that when I first open a book I can use arrow keys to scroll and turn pages.  But after while that quits working and I have to use the readers paging and scrolling tools.   Which is much more difficult to me since you have to focus on finding them.  Whereas with the arrow keys my hands just know here they are.
    I haven't yet discovered what causes the arrow keys to quit working, but once they have the only way I've found to get them woking again is to completely close the book and reopen it.

    I have noticed this also. I am using OS X 10.6.1 and Digital Editions 1.7.1.1085.
    I have tried many things to get the arrow keys working, on the assumption that I had done something to deactivate them. Now, however, I suspect this is a bug.

    What the route for fixing this problem

    Hi BGreg,
    Thanks for your speedy reply! That document is useful however how do I get the keycap off, as it only explains how to get the keycap back on. Again I've had a look for info pertaining to getting the key off and haven't found anything, does anyone know where this document is?
    As a side note was in a store today looking at the latest 17" macbook pro. Soooooo nice. Think it might be time for an upgrade next year!

  • Arrow keys quit working after clicking on hyperlink

    Hi all, I am using FM 8.0p277 on windows 7. When I open a document and use the arrow keys to go through the document everything works fine. Hold arrow key down and it scrolls through the document. If I click on a hyperlink to go out the the web from the FM document, things go wrong. After that I cannot scroll through a document by holding down the arrow key. I have to click one time to go down one line then click again to go another line. The same going left or right. If I hilight text I have to stop one word short of where I want to be, then the next word is hilighted after I remove my fingers from the shift and ctrl keys. Is this something to do with the Windows 7??? I can work around it, but it is a pain. Thanks for any help you can give to me.

  • HT1557 10.9.2 update won't update on my imac 2010 at all, and now my computer won't shutdown or restart without a hard boot.  Did anyone have this same problem and figure out how to fix it?

    So for the past few weeks I've been trying to update the 10.9.2 update on my imac (2010 - 21.5 inch) and when I attempt to try to update the software my screen goes grey with a Software Updater top bar the shows up on the top of the grey screen and then just quits doing anything (except the screen saver which works after nothing else happens - and that shows you how long I've been waiting for the grey screen to magically do something.  I've attempted downloading the software update then installing it but the same thing happens.  I don't think any of my 3rd party software is the cause of this and i'd rather not uninstall the programs since the update won't even do anything.  Utility is telling me nothing but the usual ARD element unable to be modified.
    With the several failed attempts at installing this update (probably around 15x) my computer will not shutdown nor restart on command anymore.  The only way I can shut it down is holding the power button.
    I used to have so much faith in Apple products and used to be a devoted user, but since Jobs passed away the direction of Apple has gone down the toilet.

    Well Bababooey if you're comparing yourself to a Apple Genius Bar then you should already know my answer, your snarky remark get a snarky reply.  Why would I go to a salesperson to fix my computer problem when I can go directly go to the source itself.  I used to sell Apple computers over 8 years ago and was apple certified before the Genius bar existed. If I am to go about fixing an issue I can't fix on my own I will go to the source itself meaning Apple's programmers and developers - being UI UX Developer myself I know they should have QA'd all platforms and troubleshooted any arising issues. 
    This was also the first time in the 20 years I've been using a Mac that I even attempted to go on this forum which i thought would put me in connection with a certified Apple representative.  This turned out to be a complete waste of time just being a public forum with no Apple employee involved.  I was hoping to find a quick fix but in turn I was only frustrated with stupid responses such as yours that were in no way an answer to my original question. 
    BTW I fixed the issue on my own and without your help or Apples help. I'm glad if all forums point here regarding this issue because I now have the answer. The answer I was looking for from someone earlier was as simple as this {Download Maverick and reinstall the platform - it will take an hour to do but afterward 10.9.2 was installed and my computer is now able to shutdown and restart without having to do a hard boot.}  No more software update bar at top and no problems with my drive which I told both you and Grant - I know my computer better than you and I've probably been using them longer than you. 
    So again Babowa you were so wrong...... and I am right.
    Again anyone having the same problem, I suggest reinstalling Maverick and you'll be suprised 10.9.2 will work fine.

  • Up and Down Arrow Keys for  BasicComboPopup

    How do I get the Up / Down Arrow Keys to work with the BasicComboPopup?
    Could someone send me an example, which allows a user to use
    the up and down arrow keys to select items in a BasicComboPopup?
    Thanks: Alex

    How do I get the Up / Down Arrow Keys to work with the BasicComboPopup?With the example that I've provided you at the link shown below:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?thread=454021&forum=57&message=2069966
    ...it's impossible to trap the keyevents since the combobox is trapping all events! Because the popup's parent is not visible, these events end up in the bits bucket somewhere.
    I'll tell you what you have to do (CAVEAT: it's still a bit tricky for beginner):
    1) Since a JComboBox is already set up to handle all the events that you need, use the BasicComboPopup created for the JComboBox instead of creating a new one like I showed you.
    2) Set the preferred size of the combo box to 0,0 and make it visible (nothing will be actually shown because of the size setting)
    3) set the location of the combo box to the same location of the component for which you want to display the popup to make it easier to show the popup
    Now, the trick is that by nature, an up/down arrow key will fire an ActionEvent and you'll have to somehow disable that or pull some rabbits out of the hat to determine if the actionPerformed is caused by an arrow key, an Enter key, or a mouse click.
    I'm sorta busy right now, so I'll let somebody else who is up to the challenge to tackle the problem for you.
    Cheers,

  • Up and Down Arrow Keys Not Working

    I have had the HP Pavilion g6t-1b00 CTO Notebook PC for a year or two now. I've been having a couple of problems with internet connectivity and putting my computer on "sleep".
    However, few days ago, my keyboard randomly started acting weirdly. When I would try to type certain letter/numbers, they would come out differently. 
    Ex. pressing the space bar would show up " ./M" instead
    I tried restarting my computer many times and installed a BiOS update which fixed all of my issues except for my up and down arrow keys. As of now, they have no function; I can't scroll with them and they don't seem to be taking on the role of another key. I have tried using the keys on different programs. Using the touch pad to scroll works but I still can't use the up and down keys.
    Is there anyway to get the up and down arrow keys to work again?
    This question was solved.

    Hello Larasoft,
    I understand you’re up and down arrow keys are not functioning, is that accurate? I will do all I can to help you with this issue.
    I want you to access the setup menu to test the keys out, see instructions below.
    1.       Shut down the computer.
    2.       Locate the F10 key across the top.
    3.       When you turn the computer back on immediately start tapping the F10 key repeatedly.
    4.       If successful you should be on setup utility screen. What’s different about this is you can only use you arrow keys to navigate.  
    5.       Try working the arrow keys  up and down on different menus and see if they work.
    6.       Once you tested it press F9 to setup defaults and then press F10 to save and exit.
    If I have been helpful or if you’d like to say thanks you can click the white star under my name to give me Kudos.  I really appreciate it.
    Please respond at your earliest convenience with you results.
    Thanks

  • Slowing Down Arrow Keys when Drawing Geometric Shapes?

    I have a MacPro Intel 8-core with 16 GB RAM and running Mac OSX 0.5.6 and AICS4.
    I also use a WACOM Intuos3 Tablet.
    This is not a new problem - also happened with AICS3.
    When I try to draw a shape - say a polygon, or star, etc., the up/down arrow keys on the keyboard do add/subtract sides, vertexes, etc. as they should, but they won't increase/decrease in increments. For instance if I draw a 5 sided Polygon and tap the down arrow while using the polygon tool, instead of giving me a 4 sided polygon, I get a triangle. Conversly, if I tap the up arrow it jumps to maybe a 20 sided polygon, but no way to slow it down to get say a 10 sided polygon.
    Does anyone else experience this behavior. Is there a trick i am missing?

    It's a very common issue and primarily due to the WACOM drivers from what I see. There is no work around for it that I'm aware of, other than to unplug the tablet.

  • Arrow keys stop working?

    I've seen multiple posts recently about arrow keys stop working. This just happend to me however i found the solution.
    Hold down all four (4) arrow keys and a menu will pop up.
    Then select charcters by clicking (i believe) the right arrow.
    Hope this helps.

  • In Lion, why did Apple remove the up/down arrows in the scroll bars?  There is currently no way to move up and down in small increments.  WHY????

    Every mac operating system software until Lion had the ability to use up/down arrows in the scroll bar.  This makes it easy to move up and down in small increments.  In Lion, it is impossible to move up and down in small increments.  Click on the scroll bar and it moves up or down an entire page.  When you try to put the curser on the scrollbar and move it up just a little, it moves a whole bunch.  With the up/down arrows, you can click on the arrow and it will scroll ulp or down one line a time.  There is no way to do this in Lion. Why would apple remove the very useful feature of up and down arrows.

    Yes, agreed a missing element.
    Did you try using the up / down arrows on the key board.

  • Where is the drop down arrow next to the back and forward buttons that provided a list of previously viewed web pages?

    before firefox 4.0 i was able to go straight to a page several pages back by clicking the drop down arrow, then clicking the desired site address. now i have to click the back button over and over until i reach the desired site. what a pain! absence of this feature alone makes me want to go back to version 3.6XXX

    I was also desperate no to find my arrow after updating Firefox so I did some research --which by the way is quite difficult when you do not know what to call that arrow-- but thankfully I arrived here fairly quickly.
    It saves me half an hour of research, so thanks ^^
    I never would have guessed that you had to right-click... I tried it a couples of times and have to agree with gk2011, it is not very convenient.
    Well, I suppose I shall try the addon then.

  • Why am I recently unable to use my mouse to scroll email topics or content?  I can only use the up and down arrows keys to scroll.

    Why am I recently unable to use my mouse to scroll email topics or content?  I can only use the up and down arrows keys to scroll. I am able to use my mouse to scroll through internet searches.  It only seems to have affected my email messages.

    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.
