Keyboard cant type does command funtions

Keyboard won't work, but opens different funtions like pressing the command key. lighting wont work, not backlighting on keyboard, can't type, can't select applications, folders etc.

If you have one or can borrow one, connect a wired USB keyboard.
Then reset the PRAM

It depends on your keyboard layout.
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Keyboard ▹ Keyboard ▹ Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar
Now select
Show Keyboard Viewer
from the menu with a keyboard icon in the menu bar, towards the right. By pressing modifier keys, you can see what characters correspond to any key combination. You can also produce a character by clicking it in the viewer.

I don't know how to turn off a kitten (I would probably get the Nobel prize if I did!) but Pierre is correct, although his target is wrong:
System Preferences/Universal Access/Seeing - turn off VoiceOver.

Keyboard Shortcut for bullets (Command-Shift-L) no longer works

Hey Guys,
It seems so odd and I find it so irritating that I have been using this keyboard shortcut which is Command-Shift-L for bullets in Outlook, Notes and almost any word processing applications. All of a sudden this seems to have gone and now replaced by a Google Search. I tried researching a lot on the internet and found many articles which confirmed that this was indeed a keyboard shortcut but I couldnt find even one which could tell me what happened to it and how to make it work again. I've got so used to this shortcut because my work involves mainly around drafting emails and documents.
I have Macbook Pro Retina 13inch 2013 model & running Mac OSX 10.9.4 OS.
Now I did find one website link which told me how to disable the Safari trigger for this shortcut and I was successful in removing that shortcut. But I am stuck at the point where it's just blank. So now when I press these keys, nothing happens because no shortcut is set to it. I am moving in circles and would really appreciate if anyone can help.
P.S I've already gone through many links which say create paragraphs, this and blah blah but sorry I am not interested in that....Some links also say that Option + 8 key works for the bullets but that doesnt work for me either. However, I dont want that too. I would want the original shortcut which was there and would really appreciate if someone can tell me how to get it back or even configure it back to the way it was. Sorry for being rude but I am just frustrated with the long hours I have spent in fixing this silly issue and don't want the similar answers which I have already come across on the other links. Your help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Thanks for your reply. I can't seem to find the bullets option in Shortcuts. Could you give me more details on how to make that happen.
There is no bullets option in Shortcuts. Defining shortcuts works by binding menu items in an application to a key combination. You have to find the name of a menu item in the application you are using.
For example in "Notes" is a menu "Format > Lists > Insert Bulleted List"
To bind it to the shortcut "⇧⌘L" open the Keyboard System Preferences > Shorttcuts tab and press "+" to add an application shortcut.
Type the name of the menu item "Insert Bulleted List" and enter the key combination.
This will work in "Notes", but you have to identify the names of menu items that will produce bullets in your other applications, if you want to add the shortcut for them.

Cant type in words

I was typing a document in words and I checked thesaurus and then thought my original word is correct so I closed thesaurus. Now while closing I may have hit something which I cant remember but now I cannot type anything in words. I checkd that the font color is visible (not white etc.) and I tried typing something in other microsoft products like ppt works fine. but I just cant type anything in words. any idea what went wrong? I am using Yosemite and recently upgraded. anything missing here???
thank you for your help

Hey—Since upgrading, I'm having keyboard and mouse issues where it seemingly takes my Mac Mini upwards of 2 minutes after wake up before my mouse or keyboard will work...which is confusing since tapping my magic mouse or space bar on the wireless keyboard wakes up my Mac Mini. It would seem elementary that my Mac Mini has connectivity to my mouse and keyboard if tapping either wakes up my Mac Mini from sleep mode. In addition to that inconvenience, when I do start typing, it's like someone has their thumb on the space bar between words. I type the first word no problem. But as soon as I hit the space bar, it creates endless spaces until I type another character. I am also having a similar problem with my volume control on the keyboard. If I hit the volume up key, it zooms to full volume instead of the normal incremental increase in volume for each tap of the volume key. Same thing happens when I hit the key to turn down the sound. I don't have any data or third party applications since I only use my Mac Mini as a web streaming device for watching HD streaming content on my flatscreen tv. Even that is problematic since Safari crashes at least several times an evening while trying to stream content.
As far as your problem goes...if you are using a wireless keyboard, you might try putting new batteries in. Even if your computer is not telling you the battery power is low, I have found that low battery power can effect the functionality of both wireless mouse and keyboards. Also if you haven't tried it, rebooting can fix most OS X idiosyncrasies. Hope you have success with your issue, invisible25.

Siri locked me i cant type in passcode

siri kept on talking and i cant type in my passcode

Sounds as though you may have enabled Voice Over. You will need to get to Settings>General>Accessibility>Voice Over>Off. To scroll try to flick the screen with three fingers which hopefully allow you to get to put your Passcode in. If not see if you can reset your iPhone by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

I just installed Adobe InDesign CC 2014 and now I can't scale objects/type using Command+Shift Key. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, any solution?

There is a conflict with third party software or your system keyboard shortcuts. Lately, there have been many postings about conflicts with Chrome extensions so check there first.
It's not a new problem. I wrote about it on InDesignSecrets.com in 2006:

[BUG] Adobe Bridge does not support OSX 10.10's "Go Back" keyboard shortcut and does not have a custom one.

Adobe Bridge does not support OSX 10.10's "Go Back" keyboard shortcut which is `command + shift + [` and does not have a custom one.
I tried "delete" key which is backspace for Windows. It will do delete identical to "delete X" key (which is delete key for Windows).
Sidenote: `command + shift + \` is to go back in views (switch views), not folder structure.

Exactly where do you want to use a GO BACK "shortcut" in Bridge? Maybe I don't even understand what you mean by Go Back. Bridge is only a file browser, nothing more. It doesn't open, edit, manipulate or save files at all.
Are you simply referring to going back to view a folder that you viewed before?
Please don't take this a criticism. As someone who will gladly pay money not to have to learn any shortcuts at all, I'm just puzzled and curious, that's all.

MY MACBOOK KEYBOARD ONLY TYPES IN CAPITAL LETTERS

my macbook keyboard only types in capial letters

And you posted here with a different computer?
...If not, does the Caps shift around by itself?
Are you using an external keyboard at the same time
and if so, was the Shift key locked on it? You can
choose to set Keyboard settings to ignore input from
the internal keyboard or trackpad, not sure on external.
{Or have you posted with a USB external keyboard?}
I'm presuming the issue is not as obvious as the lighted
'Caps Lock key' that shifts this function on/off. There
may be something sticking in the MacBook keyboard
or perhaps it has some kind of defect issue going on.
Good luck & happy computing!

Apple Wireless Keyboard lost connection when "command+space" is pressed

Hi, my apple wireless keyboard lost connection when command and space key was pressed. it does not lost connection when other keys combination was pressed. Are there any people has the same problem with me?
I am using Emacs all the time, the command and space key is the default short cut for Mark in Emacs. It is constantly used in my daily work. The wireless keyboard does not lost connection always, but it does lost connection sometimes. I have observed every time it lost connection, the command + space was pressed. Really strange. Any advice?
I am using Macbook Pro 13inch Late 2012, OSX 10.9.1, and Apple Wireless Keyboard

Got the keyboard working again, here how incase it can help anyone else:
I borrowed a USB keyboard to allow me to get past the pasword login.
First I rang disk utitlity to repair any permissions. I opended up the app 'Bluetooth Setup Assistant' selected 'Keyboard' then I turned the keyboard 'on' so the green light is flashing' and then hit continue. At this point the keyboard appears in the listing of found items, hitting continue I am then given a unique pairing code. Enter this on the keyboard and hit 'Return' after a few seconds, the pairing is complete and by wireless keyboard is back and working again!

The document type does not match any of the given schemas

Hi,
I have created an envelope schema.To precisely process inbound envelope documents,in the xml disassembler component i have used the Documentspec and envelopespec properties.
in the properties i have the the schema name,Assemblyname
but i have got the error like The document type does not match any of the given schemas.
I have verified the schemas have deployed properly.
can you help me on this?

Hi Sujith,
As pointed out by Johns lot's of thing can cause this. You have to analyze lot of things, but this kind of error indicates that the message type that you are debatching is not deployed. For Example :
If you are debatching on Order than Order schema should be deployed in the admin console.
One more point that you need not to specifiy Documentspec and envelopespec properties until and unless there are multiple schema's of same message type deployed in different assembly. The dissasembler component will automaticaly disassemble the messages
just looking after the body XPATH.

Rahul Madaan

Hi all,
have you find a fix for this issue? Im facing the same situation, using Complex type, and String data type both in the service and Bi publisher. We are consuming CC&B services, and we have noticed this error appears when BIPublisher is running on WebLogic (10.3) but it does not appear when BIPublisher is running on OC4J , of course running the same report on both application servers.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot, regards
