IMac, 2.5-- Mtn lion, -- number pad non responsive

With my four month old, iMac 2.5, I suddenly found that I was unable to use the number pad with certain dialog boxes in Photoshop, notably the image size dialog box. I trahsed prefs, restarted, etc. No luck. Adobe boards suggested that it was a failed keyboard. I exchanged it at an Apple store today.........same problem.
I notice that I can't get the keys to repeat, either, nor can I exit from certain apps using the enter key....
I'd be most grateful for any insight

2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac freezing when trying to update and non responsive

I have a 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo iMac. The updates download but when the mac tries to restart to complete the process the screen is just grey with a tool bar across the top System Updates, however the imac is completely unresponsive and will not even force quit. I have even left it overnight on a couple of occasions in case it is due to the size if the update but to no success and have to turn the machine off manually. It operates and functions during use but freezes when shutting down.
Any one have any experience of this or suggestions please?

Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

Non responsive track pad

3 year old mac book. Just repaired with new hard drive and battery. All was well until this morning. Trac pad non responsive. Moves a little bit, doesn't really track. Any ideas?

I'm getting this too with a brand new MBP. Only seems to happen after sleep and connected to external Mouse/Keyboard. Anyone else finding this?

I tried to install maverick and now my keyboard keys F10,F11, 7,8,9 on the number pad don't work on my iMac. How do I resolve this?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Since downloading Mtn.Lion my epson printer doesn't work correctly & the entire system seems to be slower plus my iMac now disconnects from my wifi every time the mac sleeps. Can anyone help me with these issues?

I am having problems with my Imac (approx 1 yr old) every since I downloaded (from the App.Store) Mountain Lion. I am a working mom with 3 toddlers.....I have very little time to work on the computer which I primarily use for photograhpy needs. I am not computer savvy enough to figure out how to "fix" the new issues/problems and am frustrated. I am hoping someone can help me........
Issues just since downloading Mountain Lion:
1) My Epson R2400 printer is not printing properly. It wouldnt print at all from CS5 the first 2 days. Then just started printing. The prints aren't nearly as good as they used to be. I just installed Photoshop Elements 10 and have been able to print but the prints are just awful. I printed a test page and it was perfect. I've triple checked the settings in the print dialogue box to ensure the correct paper is chosen, etc. I've never let the printer manage the color before but it is the only option that gives a mediocre print at best.
     I've gone to Epson.com.   It says to update driver through Apple for Mtn. Lion. According to my computer I have no updates. Printer is connected via USB. Changed the ports, turned printer on & off. Emailed epson & they said to reset the print queue, which I did. Restarted the IMac Still no luck. (The error message I got when trying to print from CS5 is "filter failed." But, as stated before it just started printing today as I was typing this.
      I print out pics quite a bit and it seems the only time I have ever had problems is when I upgraded the OSX system. Why is that?? When I upgraded to 10.7 is when I first realized my print quality went down.
2) Now every time I "wake" up my computer it has become offline and has to go through the steps to reconnect to my wifi. Never did that before Mtn.Lion. I purchased the Airport Extreme Dec 2011. My computer was always connected before the update. Now I have to scroll down & pick my network & wait for it to connect before proceeding.   I double checked preferences and it is set up to check for updates automatically. What is that about??
3) It just seems that my system overall is slower. I love my mac but I am frustrated because I don't have the free time needed to do all this problem solving. I just need it to work properly when I have a few minutes to work on a picture. I imagine there are other issues, but these are the only 2 areas I've focused on since the upgrade.
I've read different views/feedback on Mtn Lion but haven't come across the printer issue or the wifi connection issue.
Can anyone direct me towards a solution? I really appreciate it!

I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15947486#15947486
On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

I have Mavericks on iMac I also need Mtn Lion

I installed Mavericks on my late 2012 27" Fusion iMac. Turns out I need Mtn Lion for an important CAD app that will not be upgraded until 2014. Support says I cannot go back, and in fact cannot install any OS earlier than Mavericks now. He said if I partioned my HD I still could not install Mtn Lion. Would it be possible to install 10.5 onto a Thunderbolt SSD external drive? Woulld that result in a satisfactory way to run my CAD program? Finally where could I get a full install? Apple does not offer it.

I'm guessing you meant that you were thinking of installing 10.8.5 on the SSD, not 10.5? I would think that you should be able to go back to 10.8 via Internet Recovery:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
by repartitioning the drive to a single partition, thereby removing the existing Recovery Partition, and reinstalling. That in the past would get you the version of OS that came with your Mac. I haven't tried it, though, so I can't say with certainty that it's not now like iOS where you get the most recent version that runs on your system regardless of what it shipped with. If that's the case, you may need to purchase a retail copy of Mountain Lion, which can do here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
then build a bootable installer flash drive from the downloading installer - the donationware DiskMaker X is the easiest way - then boot your iMac from that installer and either install on your iMac's hard drive or on your external, whichever you prefer.

Right now I am unable to use all the features of my printer because I have to scan through system preferences on my computer instead of scanning directly from the printer (like I did before I upgraded to mtn. lion)
I see on the Apple site that there is a driver download for 10.8.2 but I can't find it.

Using the Number Pad on my non-Apple bluetooth keyboard on MBP Retina

Hi, I was able to easily connect my bluetooth keyboard to my MBP Retina, but my Number Pad doesnt seem to work. I was trying to find an option to allow the numpad in keyboard settings, but couldnt find anything. I was hoping somebody would know what to do so that I could use my Number Pad for punching in numbers on Excel, online, etc. It's a huge pain to use the straight line of keys above the letters and I'm used to using the number pad. FYI, I'm using a Logitech MX 5500 Keyboard, if that makes any difference. Any thoughts are appreciated!

All right,
Not really clear yet but try either pressing the two shift key for a few seconds (or pressing many times both at the same time) or pressing shift with space. It worked with me. Funy that the problem only happens in excel.

Is there any way to roll back to Mtn Lion ?

I'm having the same slow slow slow finder opening folders as many others...
when I read the instructions folks are given to correct it (and it doesn't seem that any of them have worked), I am beginning to think I just want Mtn Lion back.
Is there any reasonable way to downgrade???
I keep hoping that there will be a mavericks update that will fix it, but I'm just plain tired of waiting and don't really like mavericks all that much anyway.
Thanks
Tom

Thanks, Michel. Did not know there was an app/report that might help me. Most of the advice given in the forum involved very complicated trips to terminal and (in my mind) dicey changes to the system.
I'll be waiting with baited breath to see if any alarms go off in your head when you see what I have - I guess there could well be one of the plugins causing it, but have no idea which one. Nothing really new here since before using Mavericks (and the same setup and problem on my brand new iMac)...
Thanks so much for taking the time to go over this for me.
Tom

Can I use the same TimeMachine backup (ext.drive) on my desktop and laptop (but one running Lion, the other Mtn.Lion)?

Want to use the TM backup from my desktop to keep my laptop up to date when I travel, and then vice versa, when I return. The laptop (MacBook Pro) is running Mtn. Lion 10.8.3, but the iMac desktop is running Lion 10.7.5. Is this even possible with the same external hard drive being used to go back and forth like that?

You can use the Time Machine backup files of the iMac onto your MacBook without any problem because your MacBook has got a newer version than the one the iMac has got. However, you shouldn't do it in your iMac, and if you do that, you might damage OS X because your Time Machine apps will replace Lion apps.
You can still restore individual data onto your iMac > http://pondini.org/TM/E3.html Note that you can back up both Macs onto the same external disk, but you can't use the same backup in both, so Time Machine will create another backup for each Mac you have

IMessage on iMac can I sync with number?

Hi all,
This is my 1st post on here and I apologise if this is in the wrong section but seeing as iMessage is all part of the iCloud, I thought it would be fitting to be on here lol
Anyway, I have an iPhone, iPad and an iMac. The iPhone & iPad are both set up with both my mobile phone number and also my email address, both set to recieve messages to my number and email and both set up to start new convo's using my number. Works perfectly!
Now on my iMac using Mountain Lion, I have iMessage set up but it's only to my email address, I can't add another account using my mobile as it won't validate etc etc. Now, not all people have my email address and I would rather keep it that way, plus I don't want to confuse people when they recieve a message from my email address etc.
But the other downside is that whenever someone sends me a message it will come through on both iPhone & iPad but not on the iMac. And if I send a message from my iMac to someone (who has both my number and email address) it will open up as a new conversation which at times can be quite confusing.
I know I can fix this easily just by using my email address only... but like I said not everyone has it and I would normally give out my number rather than mail address
Is there a way to set up iMessage on the iMac using my mobile phone number so then everything is all in sync with each other?
Thanks
Lew

Yes you should be able to sync your contacts on your Blackberry with the address book on your Comcast email. The best way to do this is to set up your Blackberry Desktop Manager to use your Comcast address book as your Blackberry address book. The instructions to do this are listed below:
1. Connect your BlackBerry® device to your computer.
2. Open the BlackBerry® Desktop Manager.
3. Click Synchronize.
4. In the left pane, click Configure > Synchronization.
5. Click Synchronization.
6. Select the Address Book check box.
7. Click Advanced.
8. On the Address Book tab, click Map Fields.
9. Complete the instructions on the screen.
