  • Brand new 15" MacBook Pro Retina - unplugged from Thunderbolt Display and Keyboards today find keyboard alpha-numerics not working; except the function keys, delete key, tab key, command/ctrl/shift/alt/fn and arrow keys; and 7/8/9/u/o/j/l nudge cursor

    Brand new 15" MacBook Pro Retina - unplugged from Thunderbolt Display and Keyboards today find keyboard alpha-numerics not working; except the function keys, delete key, tab key, command/ctrl/shift/alt/fn and arrow keys; and 7/8/9/u/o/j/l produce cursor nudges.

    It's a new machine - and the Thunderbolt Display is meant to work with it. You need to just make an appointment at your local Apple Store and have them fix whatever is wrong.
    If you like, you could always try a SMC reset and a PRAM/NVRAM reset to see if either of those will get your keyboard back in working order...

  • Esc key not working in windows 7

    Hi,
    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-4XXX series. It's almost been 2 years I bought this notebook. 
    Recently I faced an issue. The "ESC KEY" has stopped working. However I could find that it's working fine in BIOS but not when I am logged in to windows. I have windows-7 installed.
    Please let me know what could be the issue and the solution for the same.

    Hello siddharthmishra,
    You’re having a problem with the ESC key not working.
    Go to device manager and uninstall the keyboard and restart the computer. This should uninstall and reinstall the driver for the keyboard.
    Here is a link to device manager.
    If the problem has not been happening for very long, you might try a System Restore. This will take the system back to before the problem started happening without affecting any of your files.
    Here is a link to a System Restore.
    Let me know how everything goes.

  • HP notebook keyboard and mouse not working

    Hi
    I spilled tea on my notebook. Now the system boots but keyboard & mouse do not work. Therefore I am not able to
    login at the windows screen. When I hardboot, on pressing esc it goes to boot menu, but then the keyboard stops working
    so I cannot go to safe mode or recovery mode. I also tried pressing F11 to enter BIOS, but it does not work.
    I can however access it via LAN and since I had shared the C drive, I was able to recover the data. Do you have any idea
    how I can restore the system now ? I do not have the recovery disks.
    Are there any particular function keys to press while booting ?
    Thanks a lot for your help

    Thoughts on a Soggy System:
    Have you tried the obvious -- connecting an external keyboard and mouse?  If you are not near a store where you can buy these, you can order them online as a set.  Almost anything would do and Windows 7 and 8 install basic drivers for most keyboards and mice without problems when the system comes online.
    If you have not waited for several days for things to REALLY dry out before attempting to get back onto the system, then you may get away with this yet - if you WAIT for a few days.  Chances are not great, but ... ?
    If you can get the system to a repair shop, it is not terribly expensive to have the keyboard / touchpad replaced -- assuming that is all that is wrong with the system -- and the repair is not a lengthy process.  This might be something you can do yourself if you are skilled, disparate, in a tiny spot on the planet somewhere (without a repair shop), or like these things...
    We can check for part numbers and all of that if you are interested.  You can search for for yourself, too.
    Start at
    Support and Drivers
    Enter your information -- Look along the colum and Click on Manuals.  You are looking for the Maintenance Manual.
    If you do not find it, provide your Exact Product number and I will look for you.
    Locate the Notebook Product Number
    I am pretty sure you are going to have to have some sort of keyboard control over that system to do more than just use the hard drive to do a hard recovery of the data.  You are not at that point until you determine that you cannot access the data through the computer itseslf...
    You can always send the system to HP and have it repaired.  It is not free unless you have the warranty for it - but it is not horrible to do;  HP makes the process pretty easy.  It might be worth checking if you do not have a local option available!
    Contact HP - USA
    Good Luck!

  • My imac  keyboard and mouse not working

    On my imac,keyboard and mouse not working,i can't login or do anything,i have tried unplug mains,plug back,hold power botton alt  cmd p and r all at same time for 40sec still nothing,i need help bec i can't use my imac please help

    How about telling us how your keyboard & mouse are not working?  Are both using batteries or are they wired?  If batteries, have you checked and/or changed them?  Keyboard & mouse Apple's or 3rd party?  If you are still under warranty and/or have AC, call them & let Apple deal w/your problems.
    If possible, try another keyboard & mouse? 
    Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting?   Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios.
    ================
    When posting in Apple Communties/Forums/Message Boards.......It would help us to know which iMac model you have, which OS & version you're using, how much RAM, etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.

  • Rocketfish Bluetooth Keyboard RF-BTKB2 not working under Windows 7 64 bit

     Rocketfish Bluetooth Keyboard RF-BTKB2 not working under Windows 7 64 bit
    Anyone had successs in this or another Bluetooth Keyboard after a bit of a struggle?  What did you do to get it working?  When I Add Device in Bluetooth it sees the keyboard but enlessly scans for it when I try to select and connect.  The Rocketfish Bluetooth mouse worked just fine.

    My friend, i have both, the bluetooth mouse and keyboard here that your talking about. and the keyboard was a struggle to pair with the windows 7 64 bit.... i think i spent 2 days working with it. and i didnt try anything special, i just kept trying to pair
    it, and unplugging the dongle and working with it... and after a while. it worked... Lately though, i have been looking into getting a wired mouse and keyboard becuase of the delays and sleep time i have with my current keyboard(rocketfish). supposidly there
    is a way around the delays but it disables all the options on your keyboard. IE the media buttons, and web browsing features. and my mouse keeps dieing off too....
    Also, after researching these products more, i found that alot of people experienced similar problems with them, Being delays and mouse failure. Even with fresh batteries and all. The products werent meant to be used long term(2-3 years) for extensive use...
    I dont know about you but i thinki paid 100 bucks for the pair so thats only 25 bucks a year... Which is kinda silly considering i coulda got a better one that wont cough up on me.
    If anyone reading this finds a good wireless keyboard that doesnt delay, and a mouth that doesnt delay...(my biggest concern). Please mention it. i am very interested in.

  • Keyboard keys are not working

    Im on mac OS X 10.6.8 several keyboard keys are not working. For instance the at symbol is not working or question mark and random other punctuation keys. The problem started after running some code from terminal to trun off mouse acceleration and then installing a plug-in to control more accurately the mouse funtions. Ive since uninstalled the plug in and disabled the adjustment in terminal. Ive checked all the normal keyboard funcions to make sure settings were not funky. When I log out and log in as a differnt user the problem with the keyboard is fixed. Someone please help
    Code I ran
    defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling -1

    Hello lindzthecreator,
    I suggest this part of the article named One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1381
    Some keys don't work as expected
    From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Speech.
    Click the Text to Speech tab.
    If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
    Click the Universal Access pane in System Preferences, click the Keyboard tab.
    Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
    In the Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
    If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
    If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
    Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
    Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
    Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
    From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
    If the keyboard is connected and detected by Mac OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
    Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working.  If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly.  Use Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Keyboard: some keys not working

    Some keys not working.  Need help/suggestions.  Not great with computers so PLEASE give details/steps re: how to do what you suggest - thanks!
    Details: intel based iMac running snow leopard 10.6.8.  Apple wireless/bluetooth keyboard (came with the iMac).
    Some keys suddenly stopped working:  space, tab, capLock, option key to the right of space bar (one on the left works), down arrow
    The problem happens in various programs (safari, pages, etc)
    The keyboard is fine on another iMac
    A different keyboard is fine on this/the involved iMac
    (nutshell: keyboard works fine - computer works fine, unless they're together)
    Here's what's been tried/checked:
    -checked the settings for universal access ("mouse keys" are off) and checked for any bluetooth keyboard shortcuts.
    -in system preferences "speech" is not set for "speak selected text when the key is pressed" - this is not checked/selected
    -tried creating a new user but had the same issue so it's computer-wide rather than just a user account
    -removed the keyboard and reconnected (using the +/- signs and "disconnect" and putting in a new code of numbers to pair keyboard)
    -language/text is set for english
    -did the keyboard viewer and the keys in question did NOT highlight when pressed (but don't forget the entire keyboard is fine on a different computer so thekeys aren't the issue)
    -"slow keys" is turned off re: keyboard in system preferences.
    Any help is welcomed.  It's frustrating knowing the keyboard works, just not with this computer.  Please help.  Many thanks!

    yes - not sure how this works...if you can see my original post there are a lot of details in there.  If you can't...
    nutshell: the keyboard works on a different iMac
                 a different keyboard works on this/the involved iMac
                 I tried to create a different user and the keyboard still does not work so it is computer-wide
                 I also removed the keyboard from the computer (using the +/- symbols and disconnecting and then repairing it.  The problem remained
    Thanks for any help.  It's crazy that the keyboard is fine and the computer is fine but together, there's the problem.
    Thank you!!!

  • When icloud drive  is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.

    When iCloud Drive  is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.
    ANyone found a solution to this?
    I Have tried it several times and when tured off iCloud Drive and tested the shortcuts on an email, all was working ok...turning icloud drive on again and again the keyboard shortcuts stoped working. Solutions?

    Hi Susana,
    I have a similar problem: when updating to iOS 8 my iPhone 5 the shortcuts disappeared and more over the keyboard often gets stuck. When repeatedly turning off iCloud drive the shortcuts are present again and the keyboard works as it should. A factory reset of my iPhone was not successful.
    The only "workaround" seems to turn off iCloud drive, however, this is of course no solution at all.
    Since reports on keyboard malfunctions are rather rare in this community, I think, you and I are using some special settings or apps which cause this problem.

  • Keyboard and mouse not working

    both keyboard and mouse not working. I have changed batteries and checked drivers  please help..  thank you

    Thanks for the information, that is exactly what I needed.
    If you are having the enter issue when using the wired KB from your old computer that sounds software related with the blog site.
    What web browser do you use when on that website?
    Connect your wireless equipment back and if you continue to have the issue with the letters repeating then you should inquire about a replacement for what is referred to as "sticky keys".  With it being a new unit this shouldn't be an issue.
    Let me know if you have other questions.

    Choose the method for:

    If this does not help, you may have to take the MBP to the Apple Store  to have it checked.

  • Esc key not working in Mavericks.

    Since installing Mavericks, my Esc does not work at all - not for anything. It does not remove the right click dialogue box, does not take a youtube video out of full screen, does not unselect a 'copy' field in Excel etc. Has anyone had this experience? What can I do?

    Hi there
    Have you ensured that Captivate has been updated with all service releases?
    I could be wrong but I seem to recall a service release fixed this issue.
    Cheers... Rick
