Keyboard function cannot work (probably kbdmgr.exe problem)

i have a problem. when i start up with windows xp, it will show the warning message like this, "boot camp manager has encountered a problem..".
and this is the error report:
error signature
AppName : kbdmgr.exe AppVer: 2.0.0.9 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00980280
this make my keyboard function (F3-F5 for sound, F1-F2 for brightness) does not work.
can you help me? thanks..

For anyone else with the same problem - I had mouse keys turned on in the Universal Access preferences - turned it off and everything works as expected now.
Still, maybe Apple could have included some sort of dialog about this in the Keyboard Software installer?

  • Keyboard functions not working

    Why don't some of the keyboard commands not work anymore since upgrading? For instance, pressing and holding the space bar does not move the page around with the hand tool. Holding the shift button doesn't keep things on a straight path when moving them anymore. Some keyboard commands not working in Photoshop either. Can someone help?

    So both the OS and InDesign are clean installs on this computer, not in-place upgrades or migrations, right?
    The newer Mac  OSX versions use some of the same shortcuts as ID by default, I believe, and that can be turned off in the system prefs, but I also think I remember seeing some reports that the hand tool shorcut doesn't work when some browsers (Safari, Firefox?) are open, or possibly Mac Mail.

  • I have remote access from my IMAC to my windows PC at work. How do I set up the keyboard functions to work on the work PC when I work from home?

    I have remote access using my IMAC. The computer at work is a Windows PC, how do I set up the IMAC's keyboard to function as the same one at work?

    Port 3389 should be open on your work network. Check with your admin. They know what ports are open on your work firewall.

  • Changing how built in keyboard function keys work in windows 8 (gaming)

    Mid 2010 15-inch macbook pro.
    This is a weird question that might not be able to work the way I want anyways, but I'll try to explain it as best as I can.
    I put Windows 8 on my MBP so I could play some Windows-Only games (mainly Star Wars: The Old Republic) and I want to be able to use the F keys (F1, F2, F3, etc.) as hotkeys like I did on World of Warcraft running in OSX. In OSX there is a setting to make it so you hold down fn when you press the F key to do the actual function assigned to it, so then the F keys are just another row as far as the game is concerned. However, I couldn't find anything similar in Windows. Is there any way to do this, aside from buying a USB keyboard? I really like having alot of buttons, my mouse has 17 of them.
    Also if there is an easy way to say num-lock is on, that would be helpful. That fancy mouse acts like a number pad.

    Look in control panel, boot camp app. The setting is in there.

  • Mac "expect" function cannot work properly with ftp "!" command

    Lastly I have written a Expect-TCL script on Linux to automatically download log files from my company network device I have ever made used of ftp command “!” to go back to linux local to create directory with appropriate name for storing downloaded files.
    However, I found that when I use the same Expect-TCL script on my Mac, I found that the Expect script will stuck at ftp “!” command without proceeding onward. Here below is the command output with my sample experiment.
    BMBP:_Practise boyce$ expect sample-ftp.exp
    spawn ftp 127.0.0.1 21
    Connected to 127.0.0.1.
    220-Welcome to Boyce BMP FTP
    220 CrushFTP Server Ready!
    Name (127.0.0.1:boyce): boyce
    331 Username OK. Need password.
    Password:
    230 Password OK. Connected.
    Remote system type is UNIX.
    Using binary mode to transfer files.
    ftp> binary
    200 Command ok : Binary type selected.
    ftp> verbose
    Verbose mode off.
    ftp> !
    bash-3.2$
    quit
    exit
    ^CBMBP:_Practise boyce$
    Here below is my sample script to test ftp “!” command:
    BMBP:_Practise boyce$ cat sample-ftp.exp
    #! /usr/bin/expect
    Default Settings
    set site "127.0.0.1"
    set port "21"
    set dirListFile "dir_list.txt"
    set sdUserName "boyce"
    set sdUserPwd "boyce"
    Launch a FTP session to SD
    set timeout 60
    log_user 0
    spawn ftp $site $port
    expect "Name" {send "$sdUserName\r"}
    expect "Password:" {send "$sdUserPwd\r"}
    expect "ftp>" {send "binary\r"}
    expect "ftp>" {send "verbose\r"}
    expect "ftp>" {send "!\r"}
    expect "(.*)" {send "ls\r"}
    exit
    Have you ever tried “!” command from expect script? Should it be classified as a bug on Mac Expect and do you know is there any patch available to fix such problem?

  • OneNote 2013 - Locking Section keyboard shortcut not working

    I have OneNote 2013 full PC version.  I have a notebook stored somewhere in live.net that has a password protected section.
    After I unlock the section when I want to lock it using the Keyboard Shortcut (CTRL+ALT+L) it does not work.  I have tried every combination of alt and ctrl keys and even trying to shift the L sometimes.
    The only thing that immediately locks the section is to open the Password Protection sidebar and clicking the button for "Lock All".
    How can I get this keyboard functionality to work correctly?
    I saw one or two posts about this in the Office 2010 forum, but never any answers.
    Please recommend next step?

    Hi,
    I tried what you described here and I was able to lock the section by using the Keyboard Shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+L). So you might have to try something first to see if this is a single issue or a OneNote issue.
    Add a new section to a notebook for testing. Now add a password to that section. After confirmation that the password has been set try the Keyboard Shortcut after that. If that doesn't work you know the issue is a OneNote issue instead of a notebook issue.
    That's important to know.
    You don't have to click the password section to get it locked, you can also navigate to another section to lock the section that has been password protected. You can view these settings in File-Options-Advanced. My guess is that you already know that.
    A last test you can try is resetting the ribbon. This will reset the ribbon to it's original layout. I don't know if you have made any customizations but if you did you will lose those so be careful! You can reset the ribbon by going to File - Options -
    Customize Ribbon. On the right side of that dialog you will see a small button 'Reset'. Click that and try to use the Keyboard Shortcut again. Worth a shot.

  • My Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 (Editor) function has suddenly stopped working. Windows cannot seem to solve the problem. Any anwers

    I receive Adobe updates on a regular basis without any problems. The other day, my Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 (Editor) function has suddenly stopped working. Windows cannot seem to solve the problem. I can open all the other function buttons without any problems just not the most important one which is the Editor Function. Has anyone experienced this situation and knows what to do?

    Did you tried uninstalling and then installing it again?

  • MacBook Pro Keyboard Function Keys & Backlight Stopped Working

    This is a repost of an older thread, however i am having the same exact problem and i know i am not the only one.
    Origionally posted by FIDO2010 -
    "Problem: The keyboard function keys (i.e. screen brightness, audio volume etc.) and backlight no longer work in Windows 7 (64-Bit) running Boot Camp 3.x. I also had the identical problem with Windows Vista (64-Bit) running Boot Camp 2.1.
    Oddity: When I first installed Windows 7 and Boot Camp 3.x (same with Vista and Boot Camp 2.1), the keyboard and backlighting worked perfectly for about 3 Shut-Down/Re-Starts.
    Points of Interest: I use a Logitech MX Revolution 2.4GHZ mouse and a Microsoft Blue Tooth Presenter Mouse 8000 with this machine. When I had this problem running Vista 64-Bit and Boot Camp 2.1, I assumed the problem was created by installing the drivers for these mice (suspecting that the mouse drivers over-wrote the Apple keyboard driver); however, I installed NO mouse drivers when I deleted the Vista 64 Boot Camp partician and created the "fresh" Windows 7 (64-bit) / Boot Camp 3.x partician.
    I have tried the obvious of un-installing/re-installing Boot Camp, running the Boot Camp driver in repair mode, and manually replacing the keyboard driver itself. None of which have worked.
    Solutions?"
    Any insight will be greatly appreciated. this issue is driving me crazy. Must have installed windows a good 30-40 times in the past couple months. thank you

    As you all are probably well aware, this exact problem has been asked on a countless number of discussion boards and each is answered with a different "solution." Quotation marks are necessary because the solutions suggested work for some users but don't work for others. So, in a way, I offer those who read this reply this same disclaimer. The following solution worked for me (for now!) but it may not work for you.
    Just like those other users, my volume and brightness function keys on my Macbook refused to work after installing the latest Bootcamp updates and after restarting Windows 'x' amount of times. In addition, trackpad scrolling, which worked great after one of the updates, also did not respond.
    Here's what I did to get them working again, and it's rather simple. Find the Bootcamp application in Windows. Mine was housed in Program Files but yours may located be somewhere differently. Right-click the application and select Open. In my case the screen went black and the resolution downgraded to 800x600 or lower when the images on the screen returned so keep this in mind if or when you attempt this. The screen is significantly cropped so you may have trouble navigating to the Control Panel to fix the resolution to your liking. Anyway, now my brightness and volume function keys and trackpad scrolling work properly.
    I should mention one or two more bits of information before I sign off. To start, I cannot say if this trick continues working after restarting Windows. Also, I do not know if this process is something you have to perform everytime you run Windows. In any case, let the world know if this or any other solution fixes this stated problem for you.

  • When i wake my iMac there is no wireless mouse or keyboard functionality. I have to reboot the computer to make them work.

    If my imac is left sleeping for any length of time there is no wireless mouse or keyboard functionality and the imac keeps returning to sleep. I have to hold the power button to wake the machine as the mouse and keyboard do not work. T o rectify the problem i have to hold the power button until the mac switches off and then re-boot the machine.

    Don't sleep the computer and its HDs, just the display. I've been doing that for years, run 24/7, and never have an issue, but then again I only use wired keyboards and mice.

    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
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           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.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
             See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • Updated to OS X Maverick and now the keyboard doesn't work. Anyone with similar problem and a solution?

    I recently updated to the OS X Maverick  and the keyboard   just stopped functioning after working fine the first day. Pressing any key just produces a ding, but no mark. Pressing the return key produces a black dot as if you were putting in a confidential password. Has anyone had a similar problem and a possible solution? Thanks. mj-t

    I am having the same problem and its not on every call, its very hit or miss, but very aggrovating. The screen just goes black and the home key nor the power button on top have any affect. Then the locked screen will show but you can't unlock the phone. I have to let it sit for a minute and then I can push the home button and go on in and the call is finally disconnected.

  • New Wireless Keyboard Function Keys Not Working

    I recently got an Apple Wireless keyboard- the newest one, with only 2 batteries. I connected it to my MacBook Pro (10.5.8) just fine, and everything seemed to have been working. But the function keys don't work for their functions (F7 as previous, F8 as play, etc.). I've tried changing the settings, manually mapping shortcuts, and reinstalling the keyboard, but nothing worked, I installed all the updates, including the Magic Mouse update, but the function keys still don't work properly. The system recognizes them, but I can't map shortcuts to them, nor do the built-in shortcuts work.

    You can download the software update even if you don't have a wireless mouse. Go to the apple site then "downloads" and look along the left columns for "top apple downloads" which should open a list. As of tonight, look for #11 Apple wireless mouse download. Download that and it should fix your wireless keyboard and the function keys. As mentioned in my earlier response, be sure under System Preferences and Keyboard icon that the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys...." box is unchecked.
    The above should take care of the problem even though you do not have a wireless mouse.
