IMac display/keyboard do not function properly

Took my 21.5" iMac to get the HDD replaced (as per email received from Apple). Computer started up fine, paired mouse and keyboard with no issues. When I try to put the computer to sleep it sounds like it goes to sleep but the display stays on. Also the functions keys above the numbered keys do not work for their intended purposes either. Has anyone had any issues with either one of these problems?

Less than a teaspoon, you can take a chance replacing the keyboard at your own cost (warranty/AppleCare is void)
More than a teaspoon, then it's done for or will continue to have issues.
Dissect it, take out the hard drive and use a SATA to USB adpater to a new Mac (Migration Assistant) or install MacDrive in a Windows machine and grab your files that way.
Sell it for parts online.

  • The u, j, m and 7 keys on the keyboard are not functioning properly on my macbook air. Please Help!

    The u, j, m and 7 keys on the keyboard are not functioning properly on my macbook air. In its place are a random assortment of keys (Ex - u = "eqrw" or "IOUY"). This randomly happened when logging back in after sleep mode. No liquid damage at all. Please help!

    OK, I fixed the problem by doing a SMC (System Management Controller) reset as follows:
    1. Powered off my MacBook and removed everything connected except for the power chord.
    2. When powered off, I held "Shift" + "ctrl" + "Option" + "Power button" for 5 seconds or so until the little light on the front started to blink rapidly.
    3. Powered up my Mac, which took a little longer than usual to start and tested the "missing" keys which now works perfectly again.
    Just added another couple of years usage with my aging mac :-)

  • Keyboard issue I have a iMac thats about 4 years old, and now the keyboard is not working properly. some keys do not work. Any suggestions ?

    I think I may have a virus! My keyboard is not working properly. When I press the zero key, it doesn't appear. Other keys that do not work include the directional keys, delete key, and others. I tried everything that I can think of to fix it, but nothing sesems to be working. Should I bring the keyboard and=/or the entire computer into my local Apple store+? see, the +? appears before the question mark, and I didn't put it there! Thanks!

    No need to take the computer at this stage.   Just take the keyboard into your local Apple store for examination.   If you have another machine, not necessarily Apple, you could try the board on that or perhaps a friend's machine … they are largely universal.
    You do not have a virus.

  • Ergonomic keyboard 4000 not working properly

    Hi all,
    I have a very weird problem with my MS Ergonomic 4000 keyboard (USB) connected to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.5). I've connected it in the past and it worked just fine but now, it's not functioning properly. I'm typing this on the MacBook keyboard, but here's what happens when I type the letter i using the ergonomic keyboard: i9
    This is just from one tap of the letter i. It only happens with the lower-case i, and not with when typing a capital I (shift+i) This happens with other keys as well.
    I searched the forums and support sites and so have since both removed intellitype and then installed intellitype 8.2 for the proper OS, but still no change.
    Any help / advice will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Thanks Esquared,
    I have the same problem in safe mode. I just tried it on my iMac and it does the same thing there. Also, when I press Shift + any key, a dialog pops up asking me to assign a function to a number key that I didn't press. The numlock key types "4" as well.
    So I'm guessing that the issue is with the keyboard itself. The question is, can anything be done? It's relatively new and I'd hate to have to just throw it out.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Satellite P300D-110 integrated webcam is not functioning properly.

    Hello everyone,
    as the title says, the integrated webcam of my Toshiba Satellite P300D-110 is not functioning properly. Allow me to explain. Using the Camera Assistance Software I can take photo's and record music. If I try to record a video the preview screen turns up black and the end result tuns out black aswell, completely black.
    Whenever I try to use my camera with applications such as MSN Live Messenger, Skype or at community websites using Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari the application in question crashes.
    *How did this happen?*
    You tell me. This is how it went;
    * Day 1: I've started up my laptop and looked at my fresh and clean install of windows vista home premium. I tried out my webcam using the webcam assistance software and it worked like a charm.
    * Day 2: Once again I boot up my laptop and try to start my webcam only to find out that it no longer functions.
    To give a quick summary of the thread;
    * Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can take pictures.
    * Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can record sound.
    * Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can _*NOT*_ record or preview a video.
    * I can not start my camera using any other application such as but not limited to; MSN Live Messenger, Skype, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safar.
    * I have downloaded and isntalled the latest drivers from the Toshiba website.
    * My laptop is about a week old.
    I'm not sure what more I can do, all I want is for the webcam to work, if anyone can help me out please do so.
    And if possible WITHOUT having to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium.
    I haven't even used it and wouldn't want to make that a solution for all the problems that might occur in the future.
    Sincerely,
    a sad customer.

    Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can NOT record or preview a video.
    Can you please describe the steps how you try to do this? I must ask you this because it runs well on my notebook. When the recording is finished player opens and you can see recorded movie. It is avi format and at the top of this player you can see the path where the movie is saved.
    Most strange thing for me is that you cannot use it with Skype. Ok for MSN is not the perfect but there is absolutely no problem with Skype. Check the settings and it must work somehow.

  • The list of extensions for InDesign now have a yellow triangle warning symbol in front of a good many of the extensions and when moused over i get one of two messages:  "Extensions may not function properly because it does not meet the dependency conditio

    The list of extensions for InDesign now have a yellow triangle warning symbol in front of a good many of the extensions and when moused over i get one of two messages:
    "Extensions may not function properly because it does not meet the dependency condition."
    OR
    Extension Status is not consistent with extension set configuration."
    The reason I opened the Extension Manager in the first place was to check to see if I had installed a third party extension.  And I was presented with these warning symbols.  I haven't added anything, I haven't done anything that would cause this.
    Does anyone know how to fix this???
    I am running OSX 10.9.5; Indesign CS6 version 8.0.2 And Adobe Extension Manager version  6.0.8.28.
    Thanks in advance!
    Nina

    Many InDesign pre-installed extensions (Those extensions you have immediately after InDesign installation) define dependency rules in their mxi files. Dependency means that one extension works well only if one or more other extensions are installed and enabled. If this condition is not met, the yellow triangle warning will be shown.
    You can select an extension with warning, click "Advanced" tag page in the lower right panel. You will see "This extension has dependency on: <extension name> ...". Check whether every extensions listed here are available and enabled. If not, enable them. Repeat these steps for all the extensions which have warning.

  • Why do QTVR interactive images do not function properly or at all?

    QTVR interactive images do not function properly. Check this page out in firefox and then in safari and see the difference.....
    http://www.edfruinphotography.com/MILLCITY_2.html

    I have Safari 5.1.7. I am using Mac Snow Leopard.
    That page is using Flash as well as Quicktime. With Firefox, when I drag the cursor, there is no movement until I let go of the button. That makes it very jerky.
    You could try disabling hardware acceleration and see if that works better with Firefox, in Preferences > Advanced > General.

  • Why are my firefox icons and tabs not functioning properly?

    My firefox is not functioning properly since Monday. I have tried uninstalling and installing firefox but the problem is still there when I open it. Please help.

    Unfortunately, the most likely explanation is an incompatibility with your graphics card/chipset driver software. One of the effects of Safe Mode is to disable Firefox from using hardware acceleration. To turn that feature off in normal mode as well:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    This takes effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it up again. Any difference?

    Reset the tool by right-clicking on the crop tool drop-down/fly-out menu in the top options bar (big crop tool icon above the tools panel, when the crop tool is selected). Be sure to check there aren't values in the crop tool by hitting the clear button in the options bar.
