Key Board problems after repairs

I had my iMac into the local Apple store for replacement of the super drive. Now that it’s back home, I notice the new drive is much louder than the old one, and more important, the volume and eject keys on the keyboard will not work. When I use any of these keys, I get the widegts screen. HELP! Thanks

Check to see if Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Full Keyboard Access has the eject key mapped the wrong way. If not, then take it back to the repair center and explain that you think they messed up the wiring.

  • Can you help? -- Browser Webpage Loading Problems after Repairing File Permissions with Disk Utility

    Hello,
    I have been experiencing extremely slow startup times and slow application startup times for the past month on my 7-month old iMac.
    I read in many places, including the Apple communities, that "repairing file permissions" using the Mac Disk Utility would help. So I ran it and now all my browsers including Safari and Firefox will not load or take 5 to 10 minutes to load a webpage - especially websites that have login features (eg. Gmail, Facebook, Hotmail).
    As of my last re-start, Firefox will not load webpages and Safari is extremely slow at opening anything.
    Has this problem occured for anyone after "repairing file permissions"?
    And can anyone assist?
    Thank you,
    Shane

    The Solution?
    REINSTALL OSX using the Install DVD.
    I called APPLE Support and we went through a troubleshooting process to rule out Network Issues, Software Issues, File Issues and Hardware Issues. This process was very thorough.
    In the end, we used the Operating System Installation DVD to reinstall the system, which took about 60 minutes including downloading the updates. Reinstallation did not affect any files or lose any applications. Everything was as I left it -- nothing was missing. Easy.
    Now everything is back to normal.

  • Key board problem

    I did an disk permissions scan and repair as well as disk verify. Now the numbers portion of the key board on the right does not work. The numbers on the top function correctly. Ideas?

    In System Preferences, under Accessibility (10.9) or Universal Access (10.6) or something similar if you still have 10.7, which I can't check, make sure that Mouse Keys are not turned on.

  • Control key not working after repair

    I took my macbook in over the weekend to the genius bar for them to look at the display hinge, from the paperwork it looks like in addition to replacing the display they also replaced the logic board and the wifi card.
    I got the laptop home and the control key is not working. Resetting PRAM and NVRAM doesn't fix the issue, nor does fiddling with keyboard/universal access settings.
    Is this a hardware issue? Do I need to make another trip to the genius bar?

    Hm-m, I got exactly the same problem, got the logic board replaced today, and at home discovered that the control key is not working. Have you found the solution?

  • Problems after repairing disk with Mac OS X install Discs

    Having been experiencing slowness in my iMac, I tried to verify disk and found that my HD Volume needed to be repaired. However, the "Repair Disk" button was gray. I later learned from online mac discussions that I should reboot my iMac with the Mac OSx install Disc. I followed the steps and then got the answer that there was nothing to be repaired.
    The next thing I knew was that I could not get out of there. By choosing "Restart", I was bought back to choosing the language and installing the disc. Not wanting to do that I went around and around and finally had no choice but installing the Disc 1 and then 2. At one point, I was asked if I wanted to move previous files to the new location (don't remember the exact words), I said no. I was astonished to find out very soon that my computer was put back at its original state, meaning all the applications were empty.
    I managed to get my safari and email (Microsoft Entourage) back. I transfered all photos from the "Previous System" folder to the present iPhoto. However, they are only sorted by year. all the categories and sub-categories that I so painstakingly created were gone, so were the keywords.
    Among other problems, my iTune wouldn't open unless I have Mac OS X 10.4.9 (mine is 10.4.4). I am quite desperate at this moment. I know the previous settings are somewhere but have no idea how to bring them back.
    I hope someone can help me get out of this mess. Thank in advance.
    P.S. my iMac is much faster now. That is the only good news.

    There is an option to +select the drive to restart from+ (don't remember the exact wording) in the Installer's menu. If you previously set the startup disk to be the disc in the optical drive, it will continue to restart from the Mac OS X installation disk until you change it. Alternately, you could press and hold the Option key at startup to bring up Startup Manager. This will allow you to select the disk to use for startup. For future reference...
    If you did a complete reinstallation of the OS, you need to select Software Update from the Apple menu. This will get to you to the latest version of Tiger, which is 10.4.11.

  • T400 - 6474CTO - Key board problem

    Suddenly this problem occured: n,b, space, arrow up left right suddenly stopped working. Working now and then, mostly then. Changed KB; same problem.
    Any clue?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I would try cleaning the keyboard connector on the motherboard with 100% Alcohol. If you have a good magnifier glass also check that the connector has no pins bent or damaged.
    You're positive that both keyboards are in perfect working condition, right?
    Another thing you could try is to disconnect the touchpad (I mean physically disconnecting it from the mainboard, not deactivating it in the BIOS) and see if the keyboard works. Sounds crazy but I remember that they keyboard mouse keys of my W510 weren't working due to a defective palmrest!
    Last but not least, try also booting a Linux distro and check that the keyboard is working there.
    Hope this helps!

  • Sound problem after repair

    Hi
    I have just received my Imac back from being repaired (an uneven screen colour problem).
    On turning on the machine it was obvious the sound was distorted, on investigation it seems only from the right hand speaker.
    I suspect it will have to go back again, but just wondered if anyone has any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Steve

    It is quite possible that Apple somehow damaged your iMac's speakers when you sent it in to be fixed. Apple makes you agree to a disclaimer saying that they are not responsible for damage to your Mac. But there is good news. There are many great speaker systems that you can get for a moderate price instead of paying to get your standard speakers fixed. I just bought Harman Kardon: Soundsticks III speakers and i love them. You get a large powerful subwoofer and 2 speakers with a surprising amount of volume. They come in around $169.95, which is not bad for the incredible, crisp, and clear sound I receive out of my speakers. I would eliminate the service charge by buying these speakers. That way, you not only have solved your speaker issue, but you have eliminated your pesky service charge. If you don't feel like buying these speakers, then look in system preferences under sound. Go to output and make sure that the balance is in the middle and not all the way to the left.

  • Creative cloud problems after repairs

    I have this problem with my creative cloud where i had my laptop repaired and when i got it back i had to reinstall creative cloud. not such a problem on its own but my creative cloud now says that i do not have a licence for creative cloud but i do have one, i have also tried to re enter my installation code but it says that my code is already in use, what can i do to get my creative cloud licence back, or how can i get a new installation code?

    unless you did a proper reinstallation (no migration/time machine/restore/etc), that's what you should do.
    uninstall, clean (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and properly install using the cc desktop app, Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Free Adobe CC trial

  • Musical Key Board Problems

    I recently updated my Mac to GarageBand 08 and also purchased a Yahmaha keyboard.
    The GarageBand reads and picks up the pressed keys great. However, after pressing any key on my
    yahmaha keyboard, it plays the sound continuously. The sound will only stop if I cancel the record
    button. Im not sure if it's my usb midi cord not picking up a good output or what!

  • KEY LOCKING problem after updating to belle in e6

    after updating to belle, it is difficult to unlock/lock using the trigger... Suppose if the phone is locked, when the trigger i locking pulled, it unlocks for a second and gets locked again.

    Reinstall the Firmware and check. I am not ssure about the compatibility, but if you re-install using the NSU may give better results.
    Pl. post the results after you do this..

  • My Macbook air 2011, one line of key board (a to l) do not respond, but when an external keyboard is hooked up these keys starts functioning as normal, after disconnecting the external key board (from the USB) the problem comes back...Please help. Thank y

    My Macbook air 2011- key board (a-l) do not respond, but when you hook up an external key board to the usb these keys on the computer also starts functioning as normal and when you disconnect the external key, these keys stops functioning...?

    Perform SMC reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Keys (MJU) are not working after repair

    Hello,
    I've sent my MBP early 2011 for motherboard replacement, as affected model.
    After repair service inform me some keys are not working anymore (MJU), thay asked me 290 euros for repair
    What should I do? Anyone else had the same problem?

    I never managed to get the keys to work again, but maybe I haven't been holding them long enough.
    I have read somewhere that Apple ask for more than 300€ (USD 400) to change the keyboard, so I am considering opening myself my Crapple Crapbook Pro and change it myself.
    I am quite ****** actually. A keyboard shouldn't die like this with no reason less than 3 years later. My Powerbook G4 that I used a lot much more than the Macbook is still working fine.

  • Still got 'V' key problems after AppleCare

    I had problems with the V key on they keyboard, each time i pressed while typing it pop up in the lower left corner and i had to click it back in to place. I called apple support and they sent me a box to ship the powerbook to their repair center. 2 days later i got the powerbook back, seriously fast, but the problem has not be dealt with. This is what a text file on the desktop said when it came back from AppleCare
    "Please be aware that the key board has been re seated but this is a common issue with these units and may return in time but is within Apple spec." and on the proof of repair it states "Reseated Keyboard and replaced a new 'V' key"
    What am i supposed to do about this as it is seriously annoying especially when writing words that have alot of 'V' in them?

    do to an apple store if there is on close by and they will give you a new key and then you can tell then the key is not up to your satisfaction and they will replace the key till it works beautifully. same thin happened to my z key

  • My key board is not working after my cat sat on it plus I have a small long flashing box

    MY cat sat on my key board during working on a program which adds your signature and now even though I can sign in to my computer  with out any problem once into any of my programs I can not type more than one or two letters with pressing very hard. On the key board and also trying at least 2/3 times.
    PLus I have a long narrow flashing black box which may have been part of the program for adding my signed signature which seems to be stopping me doing a great deal. I can not get remove this box plus I can not remember the program I was using when the problem happen. I have tied a restore to a early point of time without any success
    help Sandra

    sandra frombeaconsfield,
    Try a SMC reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Follow directions for a battery you should not remove yourself.
    You can also try a NVRAM/PRAM reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    You May also try a safe mode boot, power off the the MBP, Power it back up holding the shift key, hold the shift key till you see the progress bar, then release, allow to finish booting,(note this will take longer than a normal boot) check around, then logout and shut down and boot normally. (this can sometimes fix little problems.
    If no joy, take it in to an Apple Genius bar for evaluation, it's free, your furry little friend may have caused some hardware damage, the fact that you have to press hard for it to repond is what me think this.
    Best of luck
