my imac keyboard has stopped working??? help!!!!!

My keyboard just stopped working out of the clear. One minuet OK next it was dead. No little green light at all. New batteries did not help.
FIXED THE PROBLEM! I took a small piece of aluminum, made a little ball out of it and dropped it down the tube where the batteries go. Replaced the batteries I had just used......little green light comes on and the the keyboard functions like always.
My guess is after a few years the contacts oxidize a bit and don't make contact with the batteries on the bottom of the tube. Give it a try.

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,
Jeffri

My keyboard has stopped working on my iMac I bought a new keyboard and still not working any ideas?

MY keyboard has stopped working on my iMac I bought a brand new one and the keys work but the volume buttons do not operate the volume I've changed it twice now and the same thing is still happening

What is the make & model number of the keyboard?
You could get a keyboard remapping program & map someother key to the volumn key.
There is a list of them in this thread.

Backlit Keyboard has stopped working on Satellite P50-A-12Z

I bought my Satellite P50-A-12Z over a year ago, and since few weeks the backlit keyboard has stopped working.
I used to hold FN+W to turn on/off the light keyboard, but now it doesn't work anymore and I have the message "chronometer" on the top right of the screen as you can see on this screenshot:

The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working.

The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working. I've already done a soft reset, hard reset, and restored it to a new device. What else can I do?

When you are using other applications, or just on the home screen, does that area of the screen respond to touch?
Steps to resolve issue (I understand you have done what you have but it's always good to try again):
Clean the iPhone screen with the cleaning cloth that came in the box with the iPhone.
Do not wear gloves while using the touchscreen. Do not use the touchscreen with wet hands or immediately after applying hand lotion. Moisture affects touchscreen behavior in the same manner as it affects a trackpad.
If you have a protective plastic sheet or film on the touchscreen, try removing it because it may be preventing the touchscreen from working properly.
The current application may not be responding (frozen), press and hold the Home button below the screen for a least six seconds, until the application you were using quits.
If that doesn't work, turn the iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the iPhone for few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't work, reset the iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement, if necessary, even if your iPhone is out of warranty. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the iPhone Service FAQ.
Tip: If you are going to take your iPhone into a Apple Retail Store for evaluation, follow these steps to help the Mac Genius understand where your touch screen is experiencing unresponsiveness.
Open the basic calculator application to test all but the top row of the screen. Press each button on the calculator and verify activity.
To test the area at the top of the screen, rotate the iPhone to change to the scientific calculator and press all the buttons in the left two rows. (An original iPhone must have iPhone 2.0 software installed to access the scientific calculator feature.)
To test the touchscreen function at the top of the screen of an original iPhone without the iPhone 2.0 software, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. If the slider does slide, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears to turn iPhone on again.

My Mac USB keyboard has stopped working

Hi,
I have a less than 6 month old fully loaded iMac 3.4 ghz i7. Overnight my USB (alphanumeric keyboard has stopped working. Had to dig out a wireless keyboard from another mac to login. The tried unplugging and moving the USB. ( All USB ports works and are powered up with other devices ) No change. Tried full system reset with power cord removed for 5 minutes, no change. Tried it all twice, no cahnge.
Typing this on wireless keyboard and hoping someone can confirm if Mac has pushed an update that forgets about the keyboard or if there is known issues with the usb wired keyboard that means they have suddenly got a life of less than 6 months?

Not any updates I know of, but if there were Software Update would offer them. Have you tried and SMC and PRAM reset - sometimes sorts out odd issues?

My keyboard has stopped working. How do I fix it?

Hello!
Today I got back to work after my summer vacation and for some reason my keyboard has stopped working.
I tried with my collegues keyboard but that didn't work either.
The keyboard works if I give my virtual machine in Parallels direct access to it, but not in OSX so it's probably not a hardware issue. (This is how I am writing this)
The caps-lock light works even when connected to osx. Mouse works perfectly in osx.
I am running 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro 2x2.8ghz xeon 12gb RAM.
Any ideas?
Thanks a bunch!
/Hannes

I upgraded to Mountainlion and the problem not only persisted, but also worsened.
Any button I pressed, it restarted.
I have removed a couple of apps I had installed, for example Double Command which I think might have been the culprit, and now the computer works fine again.
Big relief!

Can not connect the iTunes Store, since the last update 2 weeks ago, iOS 6.1.2 has stopped working, help me, please ....

can not connect the iTunes Store, since the last update 2 weeks ago, iOS 6.1.2 has stopped working, help me, please ....

Ok, I am having literally identical issues with Marathon Max.
I try to connect, and it says, "Itunes could not connect to the itunes store, Make sure your network connection is active and try again." I have contacted my ISP, and they ran a full check, and sayed I should be able to connect to pretty much all websites. I did the whole "ipconfig" thing and that was no help. I also tried the "msconfig" thing, and it sayed it did not recognize it as any kind of command, internal or external command or operable program or batch file. Whats strange is I can connect from another computer just fine, but when offered to upgrade itunes I declined for fear of the same thing happpening. I am tempted to just upgrade it and thus demonstrate that itunes has a flaw in their upgrade. I will save this computers diagnostics, and the other one's too, before and after the upgrade. I look forward to sending more feedback regarding this matter

My Apple Bluetooth keyboard has stopped working. The top row of keys works but the rest of the keys do not. I was carrying this in my computer bag without turning it off and that is when this started.

My apple bluetooth keyboard has stopped working. The top row of keys works and the iPad sees the bluetooth keyboard (the bluetooth icon is active) but the other keys do not work. For the past coupld of days I have carried my keyboard in my computerbag without turning it off and I am thinking I have done something to make the letter keys to stop working. Two days in a row I did turn on the music as I carried the computer bag into work so I know that some keys were being activated.

*UPDATE*
I have been able to use the Zoom function to zoom in and the keys on the top row no longer are in the non-responsive strip of area.

My keyboard has stopped working -what now?

pamphellion,
if you plug in a USB keyboard, does it accept input that way?

My keyboard has stopped working - please help!

Hello.
For some reason, the keyboard on my Satellite 1000 series notebook has stopped working (I think someone may have spilled some liquid on it...). Device manager shows 'easy internet keyboard' and 'logitech HID-compliant keyboard' (one of which relates to a USB keyboard i have been forced to buy).
Any chance anyone knows what's happening and how I can get my keyboard working again? Maybe something to do with reinstalling drivers??

Hi Adam
If someone has spilled some liquid there must be hardware malfunction and I assume that keyboard is defect now. Try to contact service partner and pick up some information how much the new keyboard costs. You can also a Google a little bit around and find which keyboard fit to your notebook model.
In my opinion you can exchange it alone.

I purchased Premiere Elements 13 a few weeks ago, it downloads without issue, but I can't open it. I get an error message that reads "Elements 13 has stopped working" HELP!!!

I purchased this online, downloaded it without issue, and it won't open. I get an error message that states "Elements 13 has stopped working"
I have removed it and redownloaded it several times, and still no luck... HELP!
When I contacted Adobe support that's all they suggested, to reinstall...

What computer operating system?
Uninstall, free ccleaner run through, and reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled is not a bad idea. But, let us look at some other
factors before that.
1. When you try to open the program, how far do you get....Welcome Screen - clicking on Organizer or Video Editor or other?
Have you tried to open the program directly from the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file after you have applied Run As Administrator to that file?
2. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working in a school or company network?
3. Are you working with a pen and tablet device instead of mouse?
4. Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the website of the manufacturer of the card?
4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed and are you running the programs as administrator?
Let us start here and then decide what next based on the details in your reply.
Besides uninstall/ccleaner/reinstall, we may next try deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file or the whole 13 Folder in which it
exists or installing the program in a newly created user account with administrative privileges and trying to run the program from there.
But, let us rule in or out the first 4.
Any questions or need clarification on any of the above, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

11.7.700.169 Error: "Adobe Flash Player 11.7 r700 has stopped working" -- HELP!!!

I have encountered this problem many times now. Way to many to be anywhere near happy about. I can understand having an issue with it and looking up stuff on my smart phone instead. But this program is also affecting my online game World of Warcraft. I'm not happy.
Anytime I open any program that uses the flashplayer, I get the pop up window of "Adobe Flash Player 11.7 r700 has stopped working", and then it force closes.
I have repeatedly removed it, re-installed, you name it. It's not working.
Here's my information:
Browser:     Mozilla Firefox (20.0.1)
Player:       Adobe Flash Player 11 (11.7.700.169)
System:       Windows 7, Vista Home Edition with Service Pack 1
Computer: eMachine T525, AMD Athlon BE-2350 Processor, NVIDIA GeForce 3100, 320 GB hard drive
I have read other people having this issue, and reviewed the information given. 1 Adobe reply to the same issue as mine to a different person was:

Report
To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Browser
Exact Flash   Player version
Steps to reproduce the problem
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
Windows
Mac
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
HTML5   video
Non-HTML5 video
I did the test at the bottom of this person's reply to test if I was having an issue with the HTML5 or not. Both the 'HTML5 video' and 'Non-HTML5 video' ran perfectly fine for me.
Please help! I'm losing my mind with this program! I've been having to deal with this for months now, and am getting really annoyed, and frustrated, especially since my calm down and chilling time after work, kids, and family is my playing WoW, and I can't even do that!

I think you are hitting a known bug in 11.7.700.169
Either install an earlier version from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
or wait until the new version is released later this week.

Alltel 8330 Curve "Blackberry Device Manager has stopped working" HELP!

I am a brand new smartphone owner, and first time owner of any Blackberry product, so I am a little overwhelmed here. My problem stared about a month after I purchased my Curve. Everything was working great, syncing everything, no problem. Then, I started getting the following message:
"Blackberry Device has stopped Working" with the additional verbage underneath "Windows is checking for a solution", after about 2 nanoseconds, that goes away and the following message is displayed "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I am running a new HP PC with Vista 64bit OS.
The error occurs only while syncing my calendar; I have been able to sync everything else. I have downloaded the most current desktop manager software ver. 4.7 english without media manager.
I have seen many other users having problems synching their calendar, but I am not sure if I have the same problem for the same reasons.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Hank

The reason your device is running sluggishly is that you are running OS 4.5 on it. That is the latest OS the 8100 will run. However, it's slow running that big OS. There is no OS 5 or 6 for the 8100. You may be able to update to a slightly newer version of the 4.5 (4.5.0.188 is the latest) but you won't see much difference.
If you want to update to it you can follow the instructions here:
