    The letter "u" on my iMac's wireless keyboard is not working. Does anyone know how to fix this? All the other key are working fine.

    I started a having problems with it a few days ago. It worked intermittently then.

  • 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.

    You cannot download the upgrade to Snow Leopard.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory

           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

  • Keyboard Buttons Not Working With Update

    When I first installed iTunes, I noticed that the media shortcut keys on my Labtec Media Keyboard were not working. They worked perfectly fine for Windows Media, but my primary audio player is iTunes. Then when I installed the 7.1.1.5 update, I noticed that my keyboard buttons were working for the first time with iTunes. Now that I just updated to 7.2, I notice that the keyboard buttons do not work again.
    Any suggestions?

    Maybe some of the following ideas will help those wanting to control iTunes in the background (I don't).
    1. If you are running iTunes on a Mac (MacBook, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, or iMac) running Windows (via Boot Camp) then you can use the Apple Remote with iTunes (Boot Camp 1.2 drivers added support for the Remote). Therefore with initially iTunes in the background you can press the menu button on the Apple Remote to bring it to the front, and use the remote to control iTunes as normal. Furthermore, if you also have the Microsoft Media Center remote, you can still use the Media Center button to bring Media Center back to the front (pushing iTunes back in to the background) and then control Media Center.
    2. The KeySpan Express Remote is a USB infra-red controller with both Mac and Windows software. I have not tried this on a PC but on the Mac, the software has a special iTunes mode to let you control iTunes in the background. Even if you don't use this special mode, it can still be configured have the equivalent of the Apple menu button to bring iTunes to the front and then let you control iTunes. See http://www.keyspan.com/products/usb/urm17a/homepage.spml
    Most of the time, I actually don't use iTunes to play music, but to merely act as a server. I use a Roku SoundBridge M2000 to play music (I have three of them around the house), and this can be used with a Mac or PC. There are also other similar devices available like the Sonos ZonePlayer or the SlimDevices SqueezeBox (or even possibly the Apple TV or XBox 360).
    Note: If iTunes is already in the front then you can even use the Microsoft Media Center remote to control iTunes!!

  • My wired keyboard will not work

    Wired aluminum Apple keyboard with number pad is not working. When I forced a restart it started looking for a Bluetooth keyboard and would not stop. Got that to stop but keyboard does not work. Tried shutting down, unplugging everything and starting again. Still nothing.

    Check another keyboard or buy a new one. They only cost $50 USD.

  • Boot-up keyboard commands not working

    Hello.
    For some reason, when my iMac is booting up, the keyboard commands to affect boot-up (for example, holding Option to pick which drive to boot into) do not work. It wasn't too much of an issue before, since I could access my Boot Camp partition through the Startup Disk preferences pane. But that partition suddenly stopped showing up there, and with holding Option not working, my Boot Camp drive is essentially inaccessible to me. Does anyone know why these keyboard boot-up commands are not working, or any way to fix this? I'd greatly appreciate any help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Please help!
    I picked up a Mac Pro Dual Intel Quad-Core from a partners office. The system has four 750gb drives. It had Tiger on it.
    Here are the steps I tried:
    1. I got leopard and installed it. I installed on drive 1.
    2. Software updates. Installed Flash runtime and Silverlight runtime.
    3. Opened boot camp and split the boot drive equally for windows and mac os.
    4. I then tried installing Vista Business and my monitor freaked out. I started having weird colors displaying after the boot up to the Windows Vista Disk. The Disk is from my MSDN subscription and I've installed with it before. The install failed after Windows install restarted the machine.
    5. Reformatted all the drives and reinstalled Leopard with the OSX boot DVD. I skipped installing updates and just went straight to boot camp after a fresh Leopard install. Same problem on windows install.
    6. I thought the drive might be messed up, so I wiped all the drives again and tried installing OSX on drive 4. BIG MISTAKE :-/
    OSX worked but once I started installing windows Vista it crapped out again.
    Now I can't boot to anything.
    I tried manually putting each drive into bay 1 to boot. No dice.
    None of the boot shortcut commands seem to work: Holding option does nothing at start up. Can't boot into single user mode. Holding c does nothing at start up. It's possible my keyboard is not working correctly because I have had problems with my USB keyboard in the past.
    Any suggestions?? I'm going nuts here and I need this machine set up ASAP for a huge project.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Wireless Keyboard is not working and I cannot boot to MAC using Boot Camp

    Hi,
    I cannot get my wireless keyboard to connect to the Mac anymore. I have a 17" iMac that is running Boot Camp. since the Mac keyboard is not working I am using a PC USB keyboard (which does not have an "option" key) without the Option key I cannot enter Mac mode, so I only get the default boot to XP... HELP!!! Is there any other way to get into Mac mode without using the option key on the keyboard? Or is there another key on the PC keyboard that maps to Option?
    Thanks

    I wrote up my travails getting the wireless keyboard working, maybe it will help: http://industriousone.com/apple-wireless-keyboard-vs-windows-xp. Otherwise, you can boot into OSX by clicking on the Boot Camp icon in the system tray (looks like a gray diamond) and choose "Reboot in OS X mode" (or something like that, working from memory). In OS X, you can reboot into Boot Camp by going to System Preferences > Startup Disk and choosing Windows. Hope that helps!

  • Apple USB keyboard does not work with one internal usb port

    Hi everyone,
    hope someone can help me to solve my problem. I have a MPB13 retina late 2013 since something like 3 months. I have additional screen (dell), usb wired keyboard (apple) and BT magic mouse.
    Since a few days, my usb keyboard does not work well. It only want to work properly when plugged to the rights side usb port internal port and not anymore on the left one. It also work on a usb external concentrator. Before, I had no problem, it worked perfectly. There was no problem such as cofee on it...
    After searching the web on such problem, I tries a few things such as:
    I tried the keyboard on another computer (windows): works fine
    I tried usb stick and external DVD reading on the left internal usb ports: works fine
    I switch the MPB off and turn it back on: the usb keyboard still does not work on the left usb port
    I tried the SMC and PRAM reset : nothing
    Any idea ??
    Thanks

  • Hp Mini 110 1013tu Keyboard is Not working after upgrade to win 7

    Hello need help on weird happenings to my keyboard..
    Before i upgrade the Operating System From Windows XP to Windows 7 the Hp Mini 110 is working fine..
    All keys on keyboard is working and touchpad is also working.
    But after upgrading to windows 7 some keys on keyboard are not working like z,x,c,v, left ctrl and other more keys..
    what do you think is the problem??
    Hardware Issue? or Driver Issue?
    please help thank you..

    Hello @MysticDragon ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand some of the keys on your keyboard are not working after installing Windows 7.
    I do not see any drivers available for your notebook for Windows 7 on the HP website, so their might be some compatibility issues as it's going to rely on Windows update to find current drivers. This doesn't mean it will not work, but I cannot say for sure that it will.
    Try this:
    1. Click Start.
    2. Click Control Panel.
    3. Click Clock, Language, and Region.
    4. Click Region and Language.
    5. Click the Keyboards and Languages tab.
    6. Click Change keyboards...
    7. On the General tab, make sure English (United States) - US is selected in the Default input language field.
    8. Click on any other keyboards in the Installed services list.
    9. Click Remove.
    10. Repeat for all other non-English (United States) keyboards.
    You may also want to try rolling back to Windows XP and see if the issue persists. It is possible the issue is coincidental and not the direct result of the update to Windows 7.
    Let me know if this works!

  • Keyboard is not working in firefox

    my keyboard is not working in it
    it happened when i typed one word many times in it
    a dilogue box appears that i typed many times words and there are two options on it
    yes or no
    i pressed no

    You might have activated a Windows accessibility feature that requires to hold down a key for a longer time to make it work.

  • Keyboard does not work after using Support Drivers

    I have a Macbook Pro 4,1 15" 2.4GHz C2D, and managed to get Bootcamp installed on it with Win7 Home Pro. I have verified that it runs correctly, but it is missing many of the drivers needed to make things run smoothly. I no longer have my Leopard disks that the machine came, so I figured the WindowsSupportDrivers would be the way to go.
    When I install them and reboot, the keyboard does not work. When I hit capslock, I get the caution notice indicating underneath my password field indicating the capslock key is on, so it's not like my entire keyboard is disabled. The system is unusable right now, since I have to enter my password to login, and it does not take any keyboard input. Using an external keyboard did not resolve this issue.
    I did a system restore to get it back to a usable state for the time being.
    Is there an alternative to the BCA support drivers or the Leopard disk? What's going on with my keyboard after the driver update?

    Maybe you have installed obsolete drivers. If you have Lion, open Boot Camp Assistant (Applications > Utilities) in OS X and download Boot Camp drivers
