Keyboard Functionality Issues in Finder (Mac OS X 10.5.4)

I've recently begun to experience loss of the functionality of my keyboard in Finder on my personal laptop and work computer whenever I have a Wacom tablet plugged in. Restarting and unplugging the tablet sometimes works, but only after the 2-3 try.
Basically, the modifier keys and Function keys continue to work and the middle portion of keyboard fails to respond whenever I try to type a letter or use the spacebar. For example, when I attempt to create a folder it's first untitled. Whenever I try to rename the folder I can highlight the text, I just can't rename the folder. The keys appropriate keys don't work. Now if I use a web browser (Safari 3.1.2) or any other application other than Finder the keyboard functionality returns. I am able to type and use the spacebar, as well as use the other keys. It's as if nothing is wrong.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I recently started to experience it on my work computer and wondered if it had something to do with a Wacom tablet being connected. It seemed whenever I left the tablet unplugged and restarted my Mac everything was normal. Only when the tablet is plugged in does the keyboard functionality loss bother me.
Thanks to any who can help.

Did ever you try the "Relaunch Finder" option in the force quit menu?

  • I have an older apple keyboard, either a M2452 or a M7803.  Do these have compatibility issues with 2012 Mac Minis?

    I have an older apple keyboard, either a M2452 or a M7803.  Do these have compatibility issues with 2012 Mac Minis?

    I understand that you can connect any keyboard to a Mac Mini, my concern is that the modern Apple keyboards I have seen seem to have a layout much more similar to their PC counterparts. ie, they no longer have the "apple" key, etc. 
    Will I be missing functionality (using this older Apple keyboard)?

  • Hey guys, so I have a DVD stuck in the CD drive on my mac. It reads it as being in there, but I cannot eject it and it is causing my a lot of issues with my mac. If i try to eject it, Finder acts up and I have issues saving projects or even browsing files

    hey guys, so I have a DVD stuck in the CD drive on my mac. It reads it as being in there, but I cannot eject it and it is causing my a lot of issues with my mac. If i try to eject it, Finder acts up and I have issues saving projects or even browsing files. I feel like it interferes with iPhoto as well because it says it is locked and I have no rights to view it. I wanted to see if anyone else had/s this issue and how you fixed it before lugging it into the apple store and being without a computer for a few weeks...

    A few other suggestions here as well:

  • Do you find that connecting to a Bluetooth keyboard creates issues w/ the new iPad's performance?

    Do you find connecting to a Bluetooth keyboard creates issues w/ the new iPad's performance?

    I have an Adesso case with bluetooth keyboard for my iPad 2. No affect on performance. Keybord easier to use compared to on-screen keyboard. Plus it has more keys compared to on-screen keyboard.

  • Find my iPhone suggestion and issue with find my mac.

    i dont know if this has ever been brought up but this is a very serious and good point. Find my iphone which is under icloud can be toggled on and off as easy as a tap. So what if i lost my phone and didn't have passcode lock on. if someone wanted to steal it they could go to icloud and turn off find my iphone then ill never find it again. Doesn't anyone else think to turn it on/off it should be password or pin protected. I mean if i have to turn off passcode lock with a pin it should be the same for my find my iphone and the same with my computer.
    which leads me to my issue with my mac. Every time i go into my settings i find that find my mac is some how unchecked even after i already checked it. does anyone else have this issue? whats the point of the feature if it doesn't even stay on?

    Even if it was, nothing would prevent the thief from forcing the phone into recovery mode and restoring it as a new device, which erases that phone and all settings, including iCloud and Find My iPhone.
    Don't know why your Mac keeps unchecking this setting though...

  • Long-press keyboard function missing in Mac OSX Lion

    I am running Mac OSX 10.7.3 and FF 11.
    When typing in text/input boxes, e.g., Gmail, Mac's long-press key functions are not present. For that matter, many Mac keyboard functions are not present.
    For example, if I use Chrome or TextEdit and press and hold down U, I am presented with a pop-up displaying 5 U options (accents, umlauts, etc). Also, if I press Cmd+Forward Arrow Key, the cursor moves to the end of the line. None of these keyboard functions work in FF.
    Basically, Chrome worked like any other Mac app - FF doesn't. Any ideas?
    Thank,
    Martin

  • Help! MASSIVE MacbookPro ISSUES with all mac softwares - diagnostic report incl.

    Hello all,
    I have posted something almost 1 year ago but never got a reply.. The issues became so bad lately that even checking emails becomes a performance (for my nerves..)
    My computer is a Macbookpro from mid-2012 OSX 10.8.5
    bought in 2013, in france (azerty keyboard)
    (NOTE: I'm french, so some of my terms might be a translation of the error messages i get in my descriptions)
    The 2 browsers I'm using (ideally in parallel) are Safari & Chrome, I have their latest versions for both ot them
    The programs i'm mostly using are : those 2 browsers, textedit, itunes, sometimes preview and rarely iphoto (but nowadays, only safari and textedit, as every click already takes up to 40sec...)
    Here are the issues I'm experiencing daily:
    - Any click, any command takes a min. of 5sec to be fullfiled - sometimes up to 30sec - be it wanting to switch from one progr to another or turning the volume up/down via the keyboard)
    - Rainbow ball spinning at almost every click i make..
    - When i open a finder window, it takes min. a few seconds, up to 10sec for its content to appear
    - If 2 finder windws are open, sometimes clicking on one of them does not put in the front (the other window remains, overlapping the one i'm selecting though)
    - same thing happens with a finder window and itunes
    - Pages on ANY browser take sometimes up to 40 sec to load
    - Chrome gives me all the time the message that "the pages so and so won't respond" and that i can either "wait" or "close" those windows.. waiting moslty won't help.. - i have to quit the program.. wich mosly doesn't work.. so i try to force quit..which also sometimes doesn't work..or only after several minutes...
    - When opening a progr. in the dock bar, the prog icon keeps bouncing over and over (takes between 15sec-1mn for the program to open, nomatter which one)
    - Lately, when reopening Chrome, some tabs are missing : not being retaured, they are just ..gone.
    In SAFARI:
    - as soon as not ON a tab left open on browser, the page is first completely WHITE (takes up to 30sec for content to appear)
    - Safari "force reloads" all page and tabs open several times a day, lately directly after restarting the browser
    - After force reloading, the page happen to be blank, and/or no address in the url bar : i have to click the "back" arrow, in order to make the url reappear,
    -..but sometimes even this isn't possible, though the name of the page is still showing on the tab window
    - After a force reload, pages such as youtube display as a simple text content - have to REload for the page to display properly
    - Computer often freezes sometimes completely,
    .. and the mouse disappears
    .. sometimes so hard (rainbow ball spinning non stop) that i can't force quit, not even shut down properly (exit through the "physical" start button as only chance)
    - Computer sometimes freezes but by making a restart on his own : screen becomes blue, grey, everything disappears, big start button symbol appears on screen with message in several languages and computer restarts on his own..
    - Dock/program bar sometimes won't show up.. all i can do is restart the computer
    - Force-Quitting programs can take up to 2 to 10 min until the force quit window appears...
    - Computer generates aliases or copies (?) of documents, that can't be open anyway, adding things in the name of doc such as "NAME.rtf.sb-0352fd77-9bU6Yb"
    - Bottom line : Mac softwares (and NO other!) crash or freeze on regular basis (such as : textedit, safari, iphoto,  preview etc.), they mostly show not to be responding in the force quit window
    ...But sometimes, one of these programs won't respond BUT no sign of it in the force quit window
    - Dashboard always takes 10 to 40 sec to make information/content appear
    ISSUES that occured ONCE lately:
    - was looking for files via the search field of the finder, it worked normally until it became all blank and nothing, not a single file would show - had to restart computer
    - could not make a copy-paste anymore from one tab to my tab with gmail account - had to restart computer.
    Desperately trying to improve if not solve those problems I happen to do more and more often those things:
    onyx automation and clean
    erasing cache in chrome and safari
    checking the disk with utility disk (always says it's all fine!)
    repairing the "rights" via utility disk progr.
    (if i happen do it every day : i happen to have an endless list each time of repaired issues)
    I also start the computer with cmd+alt+p+r.. never changed anyhting
    I recently did the SMC restart.. didn't change a thing
    I'm desperate !
    Bottom line : those problems occur ever since 2 months after i bought this computer (new!), giving it for repair 3 times and deinstalling + reinstalling the whole system 5 TIMES NEVER changed anything.. Even partitioning the disk, by following someones advice didn't change anything.. As a matter of a fact, the problems are recurrent and only becoming worse and worse...
    Last but not least, it's been 2 months now that the trackpad is "dead"..i can't press it anymore and have to use the "finger tip" mode or whatever it's called..
    Thank you for taking the time to read, I'd be super grateful for any help!

    Open Contacts, see what accounts are attached to it, only the contacts in the iCloud account 'pushes' to iCloud.
    Understood. But if I really want the iCloud contacts to synchronize with the contacts "On My Mac", do I have to manually copy and paste (or drag) in the Contacts application? Is this really the definition of "synchronization" ?
    Again. The 'On My Mac' account is a local account, it's on your Mac (hence the name) but not anywhere else.
    You may be trying to sync it to iCloud but you will fail, put the contacts where they need to be, if you want them distributed by iCloud they will need to be in the iCloud account.
    One simple way to move them is to export the On My Mac account to a vcard file and then import the vcard file into the iCloud account (do all this in Contacts, not the website)

    Additionally - will the iCloud contacts remain visibile on the computer when a web connection is unavailable? And - if so - what is the function of "On My Mac" contacts. (Just a bit confused over the concept, I suppose...)
    Yes to the first question and as for the second, if you didn't have iCloud where would you keep your contacts?

  • Aluminum Keyboard Function Keys don't work correctly

    I just bough a brand new aluminum wireless keyboard and some of the function keys aren't working, from F1 through F7. F9 works like F3 should and F12 like F5. It's so bizarre. Otherwise the keys all work fine. I've updated everything, tried working through the forums workarounds on the aluminum keyboard, and so far it didn't work for my computer. I'm pretty frustrated. Has anyone figured out the solution? I'm running 10.6.7 and have updated all my software.

    One last key combo to try, while holding SHIFT  fn  try toglling volume brightness... and see if that works. It'a been years since I've used anything but my built in keyboard.
    At this point Run software update with the keyboard connected and see if there may be an update for that.
    Try a SMC reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    try a pram reset:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information. If issues persist, your Mac's logic board battery (not a portable Mac's rechargeable battery) may need to be replaced. The logic board battery helps retain NVRAM/PRAM settings when your computer is shut down. You can take your Mac to a Mac Genius or Apple Authorized Service Provider to replace the battery on the logic board.
    If still no joy, contact Apple, or go to the store and find out what you may need to do, This was the bullet in my gun, I'm sorry I could not resolve this for you.It's probably something simple, or maybe your machine is too old to suport this device.
    Best of luck.
    If they get you going, please post back so others may find out the fix:>

  • 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.

  • Boot camp 3, windows 7, 13" unibody macbook and keyboard function keys....

    after some screwing around (disable user access control, install tweak util to allow unsigned drivers) most features of my macbook are now working in windows 7. battery life looks abysmal as it was in vista, but i'll deal with that later.
    the major glitch at this point seems to be the keyboard. the boot camp manager in the system tray has the keyboard option, which does nothing. pressing fn-f1, f2, etc does nothing except bring up help or the corresponding f-key value for windows. i manually reinstalled the apple keyboard driver, but this obviously isn't a driver issue - it's a keyboard manager issue. i notice that there is no more kbdmgr.exe in boot camp 3... at least as far as i can tell. what process is now responsible for these keyboard functions? it would be really nice to be able to eject discs, use volume, hit ctrl-alt-del, etc!!
    thanks in advance to anyone who has figured this out.

    to sum up: actually got 7 running, but all just to a certain extent:
    Keyboard works rather well, even though the backlight cant be fully switched off in low light conditions. Low light is considered even if its still bright enough to easily read the keys labels, but thats just the same as in OSX.
    The trackpad works half way, as a poorly working standard touchpad with + two finger scrolling (way too quick) + two finger right click. Tapping works, but dragging and tapping doesnt work technically (clicking a button then quickly moving the cursor is misstaken as dragging, feels inferior in recognition to other touchpads). Multitouch stuff doesnt work at all, which is a pain seeing that touchpad.
    Sound quite works, but if u reboot the macbook in having the sound muted u need to reboot again with sound switched on to make the sound play through the speakers.
    CD eject seems buggy too.
    Battery runs like 2,5 hours (4 hours in OS X). (Must be a driver issue, windows CAN run such a notebook for 4 hours too, just consider all those lenovo thinkpads)
    Why the **** does installing Windows on a Mac feel like installing Linux on a random PC...
    If anyone has solutions/hints regarding the sound or the trackpad let the world know!
    Coolest thing ever would be to get synaptics drivers running with the Apple touchpad. Could be possible, since in Linux as far as i get it the macbook touchpad is driven by synaptic drivers as well. Would need some fiddling though, maybe someone manages?!

  • In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight- does not work

    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
    2,6 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
    OS Yosemite,
    Finder versión 10.10.1
    Mail Versión 8.1 (1993)
    In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight… does not work. Messages or documents with the search criteria are there and one could find them manually, but the search function fails to find them. Following advice from Apple Support (728965377):
    1. I applied an Apple protocol for adware removal (Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac); I had none, because I had formally utilized a similar protocol that I had found in Internet, actually an app that implemented automatically Apple's adware removal protocol.
    2. I rebuild the post boxes in Mail (Mail (Yosemite): Reconstruir buzones); It took a while but it functioned properly
    3. I re-install the System (OS X Yosemite: Reinstalar OS X); It took about 4 hours but there was no problem whatsoever with the installation.
    Afterwards I searched for messages in Mail, and documents in Finder and Spotlight, without any difficulty. The search function in all of them was working properly. But the next time that I needed to search messages or documents, an hour later or so, the problem reappear and a couple of new issues occurred:
    1. in app RagTime 6.5.2 (Build 1821), www.ragtime.de, the menu bar disappears (it is invisible), when one performs certain operations, e. g., calculating a value with a formula, whether it is in a spreadsheet or some other component (text, drawing, etc.). After touching with the cursor the menu bar is visible again.
    2. after reading an e-mail in Mail or copying an address, this is seeing as a floating object in the finder and over every application. There is no logical way to get rid of the floating object and neither copying or deleting or cutting it. It is not a big issue but nonetheless bothersome.
    3. In Mail, messages with Flag or in VIP contacts cannot be seen in the appropriate folders, only in the Incoming mail folder, together with other messages. It seems to me, this issue is part of same search function problem.
    4. The preview function within Mail does not show the attached documents to a message, whether it is in the IN, OUT or Draft boxes.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try again to re-index Spotlight. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name or email address, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Quality issues with new Mac Mini 09?

    I've been itching to hit the 'buy' button -- but in reading the many postings about the new Mac Mini, I'm seeing lots of issues with the bluetooth ... *wireless signal* ...
    Is there anyone who's not experiencing any problems?
    Sounds like it may be a hardware issue with connections... the last thing I want.
    My other choice is the 2008 Mac Pro which seems trouble free.
    What do you think?
    Thanks.

    There is a general issue/trend with the new Mini. There are plenty of reports in these forums and the news has begun to hit the wider press; I guess this is more important to a company with only 2-3% desktop share than posts to these forums. I went to the Genius Bar on Saturday and they have now lodged an official bug report with Apple. It looks like the Mini cannot pair with more than one HCI device. So if you pair with the mouse first the keyboard won't work and vice-versa. They don't think the Mini hardware is broken but that we will just have to wait for Apple to fix the firmware.
    Where I do agree is that some issues are OS-X 10.5 related and can therefore affect all Macs. The WiFi has issues where it randomly drops, it doesn't seem able to re-connect at all to channels above 13 and only manually to channels below 12. The system resume function is unreliable. All these started when we moved from 10.4 to 10.5 and so far they have not been addressed. One issue is that there does not appear to be a way for users to log bug reports, except when software crashes. However, the bluetooth issues on the Mac do appear real and are either firmware or hardware related.

    [Athlon64] Keyboard Recognization issue...

    Quote from: dacull on 11-September-05, 06:06:15
    So seems this keyboard issue remains nearly a year after i first reported it atleast..
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=61832.0
    I managed to find one PS2 keyboard that gave me enough functionality to be able to turn on the USB, then switch to a USB keyboard that solved any instability problems, no problems since then.
    The only advice i can say is completely remove power, when you switch power on all the LEDs on your PS2 keyboard should flash. if they dont, switch off and then on again until they flash, then press the reset button to startup your computer.
    as you know USB is disabled by default :(
    I completely unhooked every component, making my case just as empty as the day I got it. Every single part detached from one another...
    I then hooked up all the absolute bare minimum components, and on power-on, and after several power-ons, the PS/2 keyboard did NOT flash, unfortunitly. However, I noticed the USB keyboard hooked into the USB slots DOES flash. I have decided to juist pay the shipping fee and have newegg replace the mobo. Better safe than sorry. I am sure if my PS/2 slot wasnt defective, the mobo wouldn't have given me a single problem and would be easy as pie to set up for my first build. I am confident however that MSI does make great stuff. I hope my replacement works as smoothly as MSI has a reputation for. Thanks for all your help.

  • 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.
