Maybe your Numpad is set to mouse keys? There is a function to use the Numpad as mouse replacement. You can turn this off and on in System perferences -> Universal Access -> Mouse & Trackpad.

Quick Step Keyboard Shortcuts Work With Number Keys Above Keyboard, But Not On Keypad

Had this same issue with Outlook 2013:
"I assigned hotkeys to several Quick Steps, and used the suggested convention of Ctrl + Shift +1, Ctrl + Shift + 2... through 5.
When I use the number keys above my QWERTY keys, all is well.
When I use the keys on my keypad, Outlook does funny things like collapsing all the day's e-mails into the "Today" heading."
Correct. The keypad values do different things and you can't substitute the keys - you need to use the row numbers with the QAT."
Ergonomically, the number keys on the numpad are far superior to the ones above the keyboard for processing email quickly and easily (and without carpel tunnel!). I'm right-handed so it's much more natural for me to hold down the same two control keys (alt-shift)
with my left hand and select the action (a different key every time) I want with my right. Can do it opposite, but requires more conscious thought and is more subject to error (which defeats the whole purpose when I have to go fish a mis-acted on email out
of the wrong folder).
Was wondering if this issue had been corrected in 2013 (or there was an easy workaround that doesn't involve writing and maintaining a separate macro or installing/maintaining a separate program like AutoHotKeys). The built-in functionality is 99% what I need,
but the ergonomic issue may make it unusable for me.

Hi,
I can confirm in Outlook 2013 the shortcut keys can only use the number keys above "QWERTY..." and we can't use the number keys on the keypad. This comes by design and is not changeable currently.

The volume keys on my Logitech K760 wireless keyboard do not work with my 2.3 GHz, Intel Core i5 Mac mini which runs Mac OS X 10.7.4. Anyone know how to correct this without having to re-code firmware?

My first post to the Apple Support Community so it looks like all I wanted to know is covered in the title. The research I have done led me to solutions that I am not comfortable trying for fear of irreparably damaging my keyboard and/or Mac mini. Does anyone have a simpler solution? Please? Hellooooo?
Just in case the title is too long to show, I have re-pasted here:

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to work the above applications. I thought that i had managed to assign the appropriate function keys in Spark to their volume counterparts, but it had no effect. Below is a screen shot. Do you see anything amiss?

Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled on mountain lion?

I'm trying to use speech recognition to input text on my iMac running the latest mountain lion, 10.8.3.
I have sticky keys enabled.
When I try to start speaking by pressing the function key twice nothing happens. I can only get it to work if I disable sticky keys.
The same problem occurs with all the other modifier keys as shortcut, they do not work with sticky keys.
When I try to select a different shortcut, I am unable to select a two key combination, but am limited to one.
If I select the F6 key, or any other single key, I am able to start speech recognition. However the second time that I press the key, it does not stop recognition and process my words. Instead, it restarts the recognition.
Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled?
Or a way to get an individual key shortcut to start on the first press and process it on the second?
Or a way to get key combinations to work, as specified by the help:
Dictation On and Off
To use Dictation, click On.
When you’re ready to dictate text, place the insertion point where you want the dictated text to appear and press the Fn (function) key twice. When you see the lighted microphone icon and hear a beep, the microphone is ready for you to speak your text.
Shortcut
By default, you press the Fn (Function) key twice to start dictation. If you like, you can choose a different shortcut from the menu.
To create a shortcut that’s not in the list, choose Customize, and then press the keys you want to use. You can press two or more keys to create your shortcut.

I noticed with version 10.8.4 of OS X that I am now able to select F6 to activate, and the return key to complete the speech recognition. This is still different than the description of how these should function that's included in the help, but at least it's an improvement.

I book doesnt work with power cord only

Hello. I was just using my ibook g4 and shut it down. When i tried to turn it back on it worked for about 5 minutes then it shut off. I tried taking out the battery and holding down the power button for 5 seconds among other things. I gave up and borrowed a friends battery, he has the same model as me and that battery doesnt work either. I tried just using the power cord only and that doesnt work either. Do i need to take it in to a professional? I've tried just about everything.

Hey Caesar and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
So your header reads:
"i book doesnt work with power cord only "
Is that right? Will it run only on the battery?
If so this is from the manual:
"The computer runs with battery, but not with the power adapter plugged into
wall outlet
1. Try known-good power outlet.
2. Try known-good power adapter and power cord.
Note:
Verify that power adapter connector glows amber or green. If the power
adapter light is green, turn over the computer and press the battery button. The
battery lights should glow green and stay on if the power adapter is operating
correctly.
3. Reset the power manager by pressing the key combination Control-Option-Shiftpower.
Warning: Make sure you do not hold down the "fn" key when resetting the
power manager.
Warning: Resetting the power manager means you will also need to reset the
date and time (using the Date & Time control panel).
4. Replace DC board.
5. Replace logic board."
and it would help to know exactly which iBook you have but this is pretty generic.

Shift keys on thinkpad twist not working with certain keys

My shift keys stopped working with certain keys. asdfjkl;'zxcvm,. Those are the letters and symbols that my shift key stopped working with. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Okay, do the following.
1) Go into your control panel. You can get into this by either pressing Windows key + E, or search for control panel in the 'Search' box.
2) Now select View By, and choose 'Large Icon' or 'Small Icon', which is on the top right corner of the Control Panel screen.
3) Select 'Ease of Access Center'. Or you can skip step 1 and 2, by directly typing 'Ease of Access Center' in the search.
4) Select 'Make the Keyboard easier to use'.
5) Make sure you unselect 'Turn on Filter Keys' option.
3)

TS1277 HI. I have followed all the appropriate steps above and when I try to enter my 'Password' when asked, my keyboard doesn't work. No key press can be activated at all when trying to enter my password in 'Terminal. And I am in the 'Administrator' user

HI.
I am having trouble authorising my Mac Air to my Itunes account. I found a discussion explaining how to go go into 'Terminal', then adding a command. I have followed all those appropriate steps and when I try to enter my 'Password' when asked, my keyboard doesn't work. No key press can be activated at all when trying to enter my password in 'Terminal. And I am in the 'Administrator' user. Can anybody offer any suggestions?? ta

Does the command that you're trying to enter in Terminal begin with the word 'sudo'?
If so, your keyboard is working fine. When you type your password after a sudo command, nothing is echoed to the screen for security reasons (not even the * that are normally registered in other user interfaces). However, the program is registering what you type.
Just type your password and press 'return' and the command will be executed (so long as you type it correctly; if you don't, you'll get an error message).

My mac's keyboard is not working with my mac.the green light blinks and i cannot get onto my mac. everything on the support questions does not help because i cant go on the mac and i cant sign in

my mac's keyboard is not working with my mac.the green light blinks and i cannot get onto my mac. everything on the support questions does not help because i cant go on the mac and i cant sign in

If you can't sign in, then you can't troubleshoot and/or pair the keyboard until after that........ so, for that, you will need to borrow someone's USB wired keyboard in order to get signed in and to the Keyboard Bluetooth Preferences.

The wireless keyboard is not working with my iPad2. I turned on Bluetooth and paired it. What else is there to do?

The wireless keyboard is not working with my iPad2. I turned on bluetooth and paired the device. What other hidden step is there to do?

Well, the tiny green light comes on and blinks. . . After a frustrating time, I turned everything off. Later, when I tried the keyboard again, it worked. I guess the bluetooth process takes longer than expected. So thank you for taking the time to help a technically impaired person!!

How can I get my iMac to work with scanners?

How can I get my iMac to work with scanners? The scanners scan just fine, but not to my iMac. I've tried Epson and HP all-in-ones; it makes no diffference. I'm becoming extremely displeased, but don't know at whom I should be displeased, the printer guys or Apple. Help?

My Epson is able to do scans using Image Capture without any problems at all.

Why is the fb video call doesnt work with macbook?

why is the fb video call doesnt work with macbook?

Hi
Just to correct GerdW - the vis of a polymorphic vi do not have to have the same output.
Have a look at the vis I attached. I just pass a dbl to a polymorphic vi and get a dbl in one vi and a string in the other.
The real problem is that the vi has to be set to the necessary type. If there are different inputs you just can wire them to the polymorphic vi, but this does not work with the outputs, so you have to set the type.
Hope this helps.

Seagate 1.5TB doesnt work with mac

hi, i have a seagate external hard drive 1.5 TB, i generally use it for my windows laptop. now i bought a mac and it doesnt work with my mac. Am i doing some thing wrong..?

Are you planning on using the drive with Windows? If no, then use Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities to reformat the drive. Formatting erases contents on a drive. Copy the data to another source before formatting.
Format the external drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - Partition Map Scheme: GUID
Select Drive (top name) then click on Erase tab.
Under Format select Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
This should format as GUID when erasing but sometimes you need to click on an Advanced tab and select GUID.
If you do plan on using the drive with Windows machine, format on Windows machine as exFAT.

Safari still freezes when accessability voice over is on and blue tooth keyboard still doesnt work when accessability voice over is on, Help

Hi Apple,
iphone 5s latest updates , safari still freezes when accessability voice over is on and blue tooth keyboard still doesnt work when accessability voice over is on, Help

Hi,
If you are absolutely sure that neither the sound output of the Macbook nor the sound output of VoiceOver are muted then try to reset VoiceOver.
1. Open VoiceOver Preferences.
2. From the File menu choose "Reset All VoiceOver Preferences …".
3. Click "Reset.
4. Turn VoiceOver Off and On again. (hold command and press F5 twice).
If you still don't hear anything then it could be that the main sound output of the Macbook got muted somehow. I find that I often hit the mute button on my Apple wireless keyboard without noticing. So just make sure that its not muted and also hit the "Volume Up" a few times. Its so terribly obvious I know but its also very easy to miss. Lots of people do that.

Time capsule doesnt work with telia bredband no wifi

Time capsule doesnt work with telia bredband no wifi. Time capsule and its wifi worked in the beginning, but now it doesnt. I have tried everything without success.

There is no question.. so if it is a statement of resignation.. then if under warranty and faulty Apple will fix it/replace it.. if not dead you will be given it back.
Are you using Lion? If so did you download 5.6 airport utility?
Plug the TC into a computer by ethernet.. hold in reset for 10sec.. and then redo the setup.
Give TC and wireless short names and no spaces and no special characters.. lock the wireless to manual a/n-b/g and fix the channels.
Then if it doesn't work most likely faulty. Otherwise it is just setup is wrong.

[bug] Numpad keyboard don't work with fractions in Spotlight calculations

In the hopes that the community can shine some light on this problem or possibly come up with an easy fix, I am posting a copy of a bug #7168140 here on the forums.
Numpad keyboard don’t work with fractions in Spotlight calculations
Summary:
Spotlight cannot perform calculations with fractions where the separator is comma (as it is in Norwegian) instead of the American period.
The Apple aluminum keyboard with numpad in Norwegian locale (Æ, Ø, and Å) have a comma instead of a period on the numpad (this differs from US keyboard with numpads).
Steps to Reproduce:
(Norwegian bokmål system local and a Norwegian keyboard with numpad required)
1. Open Spotlight using Command–Space
2. On the numpad, type: 79,9+56,50
Expected Results:
136,40
Actual Results:
"No result."
Screenshots:

Notes:
This works as expected in Calculator.app, but not with the Spotlight calculator.

It works in 10.6 Snow Leopard!
