Keyboard cap locks stuck

I cleaned my iMac aluminum keyboard with a windex wipe and now the cap lock key is stuck on, backspace key does not work and "i" now comes out as "ssss" Help!

You may have damaged the keyboard if liquid got into the the electronics of the keyboard. As a general rule do NOT use any liquids on a keyboard or keeps glasses of liquids in their vicinity to prevent spills. You can try doing a SMC reset or remove the keyboard and put it in a bag of rice for a few days to help it dry out.
Going forward to clean your keyboard use alcohol wipes or a baby wipe.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

Wireless Keyboard Caps Lock Problem since 2007 - unresolved

My Mac Pro wireless keyboard "caps lock" stops working - if I reinsert the batteries it will start working again for a short period of time. I've issues a case number with Mac Tec support; along with bring it into the MAC Store. This issues has been brought to Apple's attention since 2007 and they have still NOT FIXED THE ISSUE.
Any suggestions???

Grant:
My Mac Pro (10.6.8) is set for automatic updates; and, I even check periodically prior to reminder. I also was at the PeachMac Store yesterday and they, too, checked and my updates are up-to-date. If you have a "patch" that can fix this - neither they nor myself are aware of it. There are multiple, and I mean multiple complaints out there over the internet on this very issue dating back to 2007. Is there a "patch" that should be utilized on my MAC that didn't come across with the updates?

OSX Caps Lock stuck on (not a sticky keyboard)

You see this question posted frequently, and I have searched exhaustively to find the right solution for my problem, to no avail.
Occasionally, my iMac will get into a funky mode where EVERTHING I TYPE IS IN CAPITAL LETTERS, regardless of the status of Caps Lock. Yes, I know, it's annoying. But it's more than just annoying because it makes it impossible to unlock the screen and I have to reboot, losing unsaved work in the process. ARGH!
You're probably already thinking of all the silly solutions; removing cracker crumbs or grape jelly from under the keys, unplugging/replugging the USB keybard or trying a different keyboard. Let me save us both some time, because it's not that obvious. I ask you to put your thinking cap on, because right now my screen is locked and I would rather not have to reboot. My wife has some unsaved work that I don't want to lose! Do you accept the challenge? Thanks! Here's what we know, and some of the things we can rule out:
* This has been known to happen while I am typing.
* The only solution I have found to restore normal behavior is a simple reboot, which resolves the problem every time.
* It is not a bad keyboard. The same behavior is exhibited by known good USB and Bluetooth OEM keyboards, as well as a third aftermarket keyboard.
* The Caps Lock keys on ALL THREE keyboards are working properly, as demonstrated by the Caps Lock LED toggling on/off with each press of the key.
* However, the Caps Lock indicator in the Password field STAYS ON and does NOT toggle when the key is pressed!
* No key behavior has been changed from their default Preferences.
* This was happening with the factory install of Lion, and has continued after the in-house upgrade to Mt Lion.
* This occurs only once every two months or so, which is why I have never got around to opening a ticket with Apple.
All of this leads me to believe that there is nothing wrong with my computer. I believe that, quite by accident, I fat-finger some magical key combination that triggers this behavior. Unfortunately, I can never figure out what I've done, or how to get it back to normal without rebooting the darn thing. Until I can figure out what triggers this behavior (and so presumably will be able to toggle back to normal when it occurs), I think my best workaround is to use a password that has all upper case letters so at least I can unlock it when it does happen. Unfortunately, right now I am still facing losing work due to a reboot if I can't find a real solution.
Suggestions? Advice? SOLUTIONS????

Hi Donna, if you've already rebooted, try this workaround...
System Preferences>Keyboard>Modifier keys>Caps Lock=no action.

200n Keyboard - Caps Lock inverted = no numbers + all files highlighted

Factory o/s Vista Home + recovery CD
Faults occurred sometime after installing wireless printer. Computer left unattended. Son heard lots of beeping.
Caps lock worked but text was inverted which also resulted in no numbers. Selecting a file from a list resulted in all files above being selected.
Many things tried, restored to previous point, keyboard checked with MS diagnostic tool OK. Eventually keyboard stopped working (same with external USB keyboard) and it was impossible to restore using Recovery disc.
Paid to have system restored to Factory settings.
Memory and HDD checked and refitted. On final update, no 20 of 27 - bleeping and small Filter Key window appeared and kept on appearing 10/20 times during updating. Still both problems occurred.
Purchased new HDD and Win 7 upgrade
Installed XP pro sp2, could not type numbers in product key
Clean installed Win 7, Caps lock inverted and no numbers with Keyboard, USB keyboard and On-line keyboard. Again all files highlighted.
System Trouble Shooting – No changes or updated necessary.
System Restore – Error 0xC0003005
In Safe Mode – removed Norton leaving MS net 4, MS Silverlight, NVDIA driver.
Wireless mouse works.
Filter Key window appears sometimes.
Action Center – Richo memory stick controller incompatible, no card reader driver.
Can access msconfig but not mskey or msreg

Keyboard Caps Lock Led No Longer Working

I've rarely pressed the caps lock on this keyboard and now the led has stopped working. The computer is barely a year old.

Paul_31 wrote:
I don't know whether any of these were long-term fixes.
All of the fixes suggested can work with the SMC reset seeming to be the easiest certain correction. I have noticed this is happening less often than a half-year ago so it would lead me to believe that something has improved in the system.

Caps lock stuck on PSE 12 I already reset preferences and reset tool

I've tried resetting the type tool and reseting my preferences on relaunch and Its still stuck in CAPs lock ... cannot add text to my layouts in lowercase

I would reset the pse 11 preferences by going to Photoshop (Edit)>Preferences>General, clicking on Reset Preferences on next launch and then restarting pse 11

PS Elements 11 - caps lock stuck on

I'm not stuck on caps lock.
I've attempted to reset the type tool and it's still all caps.
It's not a font issue, I've tried several I know have upper/lower and are not working.
Any other thoughts or suggestions?

2009 Aluminum Keyboard caps lock light not functioning

Greetings:
I bought my wireless keyboard in February 2010 and it works but lately the caps lock light has not been coming on when I hit the caps lock key. I took it to a local Apple Specialist to try to figure out what is going on and it of course worked when he paired it to his machine.
I got it back home and re-paired it to my mini (2009 2.25 mhz intel) and it worked for the day... now it is not functioning again. I unpaired the keyboard and re-paired it again and the light functions again for the time being. But if it holds to pattern, tomorrow it will be non-functioning again.
I have the latest update for the keyboard installed and I am at Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on the system.
It appears that if the keyboard goes to sleep, this phenomenon happens. Any ideas?

I think that re-pairing the keyboard does essentially the same thing as restarting the machine would do with regards to resetting the keyboard. I did replace the batteries today just to see if that would help. -- so far, the light is working still and the keyboard has been asleep for a couple of hours since I replaced the batteries. They showed 81% when I replaced them this morning.
I would like to know if this is a common problem. The keyboard always works, just the caps lock light stops working which is annoying for me because I tend to hit it by accident and the light is a good way to see that I did, in fact, hit the key.
I am marking the question as answered, but hopefully someone has a real fix for it, or Apple has a new firmware update coming soon

Bug report: crazy keyboard (caps lock flashing)

Hi all!
I had the problem of the "crazy keyboard" and I think I understand the cause.
Mac model: Macbook pro MB134LL/A
OS: Snow leopard 10.6.5 with latest updates
Problem: sometimes the caps lock button flash and the trackpad freezes.
I read similar problems in the forum, without a solution.
I have an admin account on my mac and I installed the software "mobile partner" to manage mobile connections with an internet key huawei e176.
Now I have version 16.001.17.04.51 for the mobile partner, and version 4.23.03.00 for the key drivers.
The "crazy keyboard" problem can happen with these versions and with previous versions too.
I noticed that in "system preferences->network->advanced settings of the installed HUAWEIMobile-Modem" the drivers are set by default to generic apple modem. So I changed with the "huawei mobile connect - 3G modem" drivers but sometimes this preference automatically changes back to generic apple modem.
When the keyboard goes crazy I see that the drivers are set to generic apple modem.
"Crazy keyboard" appears only after installing the internet key, so I think that the cause of the problem is the automatic change of the modem drivers.
How to solve the problem?Change the admin account, so to avoid changes?
Thank you

Javier,
I appreciate the feedback.

Here’s the problem as best I can explain it with the help of the “/usr/openwin/demo/xev” tool.
With the “Caps Lock” key engaged:
Press and release of the (dotted) “i” key WRONGLY gives uppercase (dotless) “I” letter with “keycode = 59” and “keysym = 0x49”.
Press and release of the (dotless) “ı” key correctly gives uppercase (dotless) “I” letter with “keycode = 19” and “keysym = 0x49”.
Disengaging the “Caps Lock” key:
Holding down the “Shift” key:
Press and release of the (dotted) “i” key correctly gives uppercase (dotted) “İ” letter with “keycode = 59” and “keysym = 0x2a9”.
Press and release of the (dotless) “ı” key correctly gives uppercase (dotless) “I” letter with “keycode = 19” and “keysym = 0x49”.
Summary:
The delivery of the keysym value of 0x49 seems to be wrong for the “Caps Lock” + “i” keys combination. (Shouldn’t it be 0x2a9?)
I have learned that user 925353 has initiated SR: 3-5545975463 reporting this problem.

Caps lock stuck.

MBPro was logged out and screen was closed. Hours later attempted to re-log into and kept getting wrong password error. Logged under guest opened notes, safari & contacts and showed I was typing in all caps even w/o caps lock lite up. Cannot get it to normal.

If you are in the habit of eating and drinking while using the computer, dirt & crumbs could have gotten underneath the caps key. If you have a can of compressed air or a vacuum hose, run it over the key. You can remove the key if you have to - How to remove and clean your Macbook Pro Keyboard
