is there a fix for my wireless keyboard the "A" key dont work

Hello Trwalker and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
If your onboard keyboard works that's got to be a hardware problem w/ your wireless.
Did you check under the key for smutz. What kind of keyboard?

  • What is the fix for a wireless keyboard that eats batteries?

    What is the fix for a relatively new wireless keyboard that eats batteries?

    Part of it may be something in the battery reporting software.
    I got my first wireless Apple KB with a new iMac last November (2011) and, disliking the abbreviated design for desktop use, bought a wired board for the iMac and appointed the wireless to be the travel keyboard for my MacBook Pro. I used it on a routine basis and the battery level stayed at 100 percent until June, when it suddenly read 50 percent. Today it's still 50 percent. Makes absolutely no sense but it works.
    It's been on most of the time, including a couple of trips when I failed to turn it off and it was running in my backpack for days. It still ahs the batteries Apple shipped with it.
    My Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse,  on the other hand, showed normal battery decay over time when connected to the same computer
    If the keyboard stops working, that's one thing but, if you are seeing odd percentage reports and the thing still works, just keep using it until it dies. A couple of spares in the computer bag take very little space.
    I've not seen a battery calibration feature mentioned for input devices like we have for the "smart" batteries in notebook Macs.

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard - Shift + 'r' key not working. It doesn't capitalise the letter. Can someone help please. Thank you.

    Hi all,
    I am having some problem with the Apple Wireless Keyboard. It has not problem connecting to both my iPad mini / iPhone 4S.
    The problem comes when I start to type with it. All the keys are functioning will, except when I am trying to capitalise the letter 'r'.
    I tried using Shift + r. It doesn't work, regardless whether I use the left or right Shift key.
    Any someone help please. Thank you.

    If your Macbook is less than a year old, it is under warranty. A repair of of a problem of this kind would be free. So, if you have a warranty, have the problem fixed by Apple.
    If your Macbook is more than one year old, please tell us what operating system you are running, and any other information that would help understand what is going on.
    If you do get the keyboard to work for a short time, long enough to post back, please unlock the "caps lock" button.

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard - Volume & Brightness keys not working Windows 7

    Finally got my wireless keyboard working within Windows 7 but the volume / Eject / Brightness keys all do nothing - all other keys appear fine.
    I have reinstalled the bootcamp drivers for the 2nd time but still nothing. I had this all working previously but have factory restored my iMac and cant remember how I originally did this..
    Any ideas?

    Maybe you could update the Boot Camp drivers. That happened to my internal keyboard, and updated drivers some times fixed it. Other times it fixed itself after a few restarts.

  • Is there a fix for dialling contacts in the  44 (0) format yet?

    Hi All,
    Contacts formatted as +44 (0) are dialled as +440... at the moment. I was wondering if there was a fix built for this yet? As every other smart phone seems to deal with it fine.
    Before anyone says it, no I'm not going back to my companies global address list and asking them to change the format. And no I'm not going through all my contacts and deleting the 0. It's an easy software fix and a very long manual fix.

    Hi...
    Pull the battery now and place the phone in a bag of rice to dry it out...
    Here is another link on wet blackberries...
    If the phone is already dried out, you can send the phone out and have it repaired at the component level.
    There are several services that can do this. One is the bbrepairshop in Houston.

  • Is there a fix for a dead ethernet port besides a new logic board?

    My ethernet port went dead on my IMac.  I unplugged the ethernet cable and plugged it into my laptop and it worked instantly.  I am still able to connect wirelessly.  I bought an apple USB to Ethernet converter and plugged it in.  It worked for about 3 days and then it went dead.  Once again I was able to unplug the ethernet cable, plug it into my laptop and instantly had a connection.  Is there a fix for a dead ethernet port besides a new logic board and if not how do I figure out which logic board I need?
    Thanks
    Step

    This problem baffled me. I kept getting the "ethernet cable unplugged" error after testing my cables good. Was abut to write it off as port gone bad when I found this thread.
    The YouTube video reference above fixed my problem. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1P6X87qArs)
    Basically go to SETTINGS/NETWORK. Then highlight your ETHERNET port and click the ADVANCED button. From there click the HARDWARE tab.
    Set
    CONFIGURE to MANUALLY
    SPEED to whatever your ethernet speed is, in my case 1000baseT
    DUPLEX - FULL DUPLEX, FLOW CONTROL
    Leave MTU at Standard
    Hit OK.
    Then don't forget to hit APPLY. I didn't do this the first couple of times assuming hitting OK applied these settings. You gotta hit APPLY.
    In about two seconds, my Ethernet connected again.
    I went back and reset it to AUTOMATIC just to test and after doing so got the cable unplugged error again. So I am leaving it on manual and it's working.

  • With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration.  Is there a fix for the incompatibility?

    With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration.  Is there a fix for the incompatibility?  I don't mind the color changes, but I'm having an external speaker problem that could be related to the incompatibility (at random times--usually several hours after start-up, my external speakers--connected via my Samsung Central Station's wireless docking station and computer-installed dongle--shut off and won't play until I restart.  I've investigated other options, but iTunes may be the problem.)  Thanks.

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?

    Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
    Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
    How do I get update to 6.0.2?
    Will that even help?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Is there a fix for maverick

    Is there a fix for maverick?  I can't scroll or use the back/forward buttons.  Help! 

    Sorry!  Here is the report.  Greek to me.  When I started up in safe mode, the computer was super slow.  When I tried to type in PAGES nothing appeared on the page.  When I opened Safari, there were gray rolling waves across the screen for a little bit prior to opening.  iPhoto still wouldn't open.  I did download iPhoto Library Manager and got some of my photos back.  Not all of them.  Scroll still doesn't work anywhere, although at times you can see the darkened segment that is supposed to be there to show you where you click to scroll up or down.  If you try to click on it, it disappears so you can't actually scroll.  Thanks again for your help.

  • IPhone 3GS will not sync calendars because the sync server failed.   Just installed Outlook 2010.  Is there a fix for this?

    My iPhone 3GS could not sync calendars to the iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone.    Just installed Outlook 2010.   Is there a fix for this?

    I am simply lookig for some help not an argument.  I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts.  I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another.  As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP.  This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
    I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue.  I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion.  In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues.  I am able to browse the internet as much as I want.  I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
    In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems?  Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best?  BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
    In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time.  Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. --  Thanks

    For some reason, your Mac doesn't recognise that a keyboard is present, so it looks for a wireless keyboard. The question is, why doesn't your Mac recognise that a keyboard is attached?
    First, you need to make sure you remove all peripherals, especially USB peripherals (the keyboard is on the USB bus). Then restart holding down the Shift key. This should boot in Safe mode. If the computer boots normally (not in safe mode) and the keyboard is still not working, try resetting the SMC
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964>
    If that still doesn't fix the problem, then the keyboard (or its controller) is probably damaged and needs to be replaced.

    TechCrunch posted a solution today that applies to this problem, I think.
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Click your old iPhone and "unregister" it.
