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

Enter key does not work anymore in address bar after FF update

After the update the Enter key does not work anymore. Neither when I type the url directly, nor when I select it from the history.
In short FF has become unusable. Now I need to install and use a less crappy browser. Extremely sloppy, amateuristic update.

see if this is helpful : go to Tool > Options > Advanced > General tab > Browsing and '''Uncheck''': "Use hardware acceleration when available" .

TouchPad lock key does not work anymore on Dell XPS L401X

Hi everyone,
On my Dell XPS L401X laptop, there is a key to lock/unlock the touchpad. It used to work fine on Windows and on new fresh install ArchLinux, but now it does not work anymore. If I remember correctly, I did not change, configure any shortcut so far.
Any hint to fix this problem?
Many thanks!
Tinh

I'm sorry i can't help more.

Hello, how much did you pay when some parts of the keyboard keys are not working properly due to accidental spilt of tea?

I accidentally spilt a tea on the keyboard of my Macbook Air 11'. I managed to wipe the keyboard and saved my laptop. However, I noticed that the Spacebar, Shift and Command keys are not working as it should be. It's like something's stuck inside that makes these keys hard to press as usual. I refered this problem to Amsys, Berwick St London, as the reservations in Apple Stores are full. Do you have any idea how much is the cost for diagnosis and repair if ever?
Please help.

if you spilled a good bit of tea, its a serious problem, yes.
it got inside, and will corode, and bad things will begin to happen.
Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.

Few keyboard keys are not working

I am Using Mac 10.5.8
Yesterday, when i made my laptop shut down, all the keys were working perefectly.
Even when i started it today, for few minutes ie 5 minutes all the keys were working fine, But then i don't what happned suddenly.
Pointer starts blinking.. Down arrow key was getting pressed itself.
Later i restarted it, and found Right click on trackpad was not working, and all arrow keys along with right Command key are not working.
Then i restarted it again, command keys started working, and up ,left & right arrow keys started working.
I verified my disk, then i found right click started working.
The only key was not working down arrow key.
But after 30 minutes Right key stopped working and Right command key too
Suggest me what should i do now, it seems more like some software problem in comparison to Keyboard hardware problem.

Hey i guess that's not a good idea, Could you please let me know something about some hardware check/keyboard viewer.
Anything like that ?

Dv6 2190us - some keyboard keys are not working

Hi there all,
My sis bought me Dv6 2190us laptop last Feb 2010 and I just got it now. The problem now is, some of the keys like the letters - W, S, and X are not working so I am not able to log-in to Window 7. The laptop is brandnew, the keys are not sticking but the only unusual thing is that , the battery was attached to the laptop for one year.... Couldnt this be the reason and what should I do to resolve this? Appreciate your kind help!
Thanks in advance,..

also having this issue with 6 month old dv6 3031 but my entire line beginning with a to enter key will not respond so i cannot do any tests or what not. i was advised to do bios setup by clicking F10 when notebook is booting up, arrow across to Diagnostic menu and perform PRIMARY HARD DISK SELF TEST. of course i was unable to do this as my enter key does not work but maybe you could give it a go and have more luck
cheers

Keyboard keys are not working correctly in Logic Pro X 10.0.6

I was trying to use my MIDI keyboard but for some reason the "A flat" key above "Middle C" no longer works properly in Logic.
At first I thought it was my keyboard but I tried the same key in Reasons and Pro Tools and it works fine in both of these programs.
I tired to see if it would work in Logic Pro 9 but it does not work in Logic Pro 9 either. Prior to my Logic Pro X 10.0.6 update it did work fine.
I don't know what the issue is because it is working fine with the other programs. A little help would be greatly appreciated.

In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
Be sure and delete both files.
(Note: I would first try and delete the control surface preference only, no sense deleting preferences if you don't need to. Also, be sure and use the tilde ~ in the file path above.)

10.5.7 - Bluetooth keyboard and mouse not working anymore

Updated to 10.5.7 and since then after some minutes my Appley wireless keyboard and the mighty mouse do no work anymore.
Note that the connection is not lost. When I then turn bluetooth off, the system tells me that the connection got lost and when I turn it on again it works as before. But after some minutes it won't works.
This happens on a new MBP.
How can I solve this problem?

I had similar problem w/logitech bt keyboard and almost threw the **** thing (mac) out the window. but reason prevailed and i did get it working. what i did was to power off the mac and remove the batteries from the keyboard (then had dinner...) then i powered on the mac and from another mac (i dont have a usb keyboard around) i screenshared into the keyboardless mac and deleted the keyboard from the list of bt devices. then i turned on the keyboard and re-paired it (using the screensharing mac). after that it has worked fine and the losing connection issue is better but sadly not gone!
good luck

Keyboard Keys Swapped/ Not Working

Hi,
My 2009 wireless keyboard has started working incorrectly and this happens with my Mac and also with a Macbook i tried it with. I cleaned the keys a few days ago and left it off but since then it's been playing up so i thought it must be water inside it.
However, i'm not sure how water would cause keys to work incorrectly. For example, when i press 'B', 'Z' appears. When i press '-' or '[' it turns the volume down and up, respectively. The volume buttons still also control the volume. Delete, some numbers, some letters and caps lock do not work.
If anyone has any experience of this and could help i would greatly appreciate it.
Martyn

Thanks for the replies. I think it is going to have to be a new keyboard.
On keyboard viewer, some keys don't show any input implying they are no longer functioning. Despite this, when 'B' is pressed it shows a response on the letter 'Z' which seems a little odd that it would be mixing up the inputs.

Keyboard keys are not working at startup

wi-fi, volume,brightness & other are not working ) everytime.even it wake up from stand by mode.
function keys are work in genrel way i.e. F1 to F12.what can I do to resolve this.

hi ,
follow this steps please ,
1. Right click on My Computer Icon > Properties > Device manager (on the left side)
2. find the Keyboard > Right click on it > CHeck for updates
3. Make sure that you installed the right Driver for Your Keyboard proided from HP official website
if these didn't help
try using another OS (replace your Win version)
** for experts only : you can use UBUNTU live disk to check the Keyboard without uninstalling you win version
if changing the OS didn't help
now it's one of two things
1. there is a problem with your BIOS
2. there is a HW problem
and in both cases i don't recommend you to start solving it yourself
Updating the BIOS is very sesitive operation and also the HW problems
so please look for the nearest HP support center to your city
and make sure that they will solve your Problem
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.

Silent Profile key ( # ) is not working anymore

Hello,
I am using a Nokia 6300. Recently I did a phone software update (to version 5.00), backed all my data up, had afterwards some trouble to get the saved data back on the handset, but it finally worked. Though I still have one small issue. Before the update, when I pressed and held the # key, the phone switched from General to Silent Profile, and back to General if I pressed the key again. This nice feature is now somehow disabled.
Does anybody have the same problem, and would there be someone nice enough to help me out on this one?
Thanks in advance

Midi keyboard key A2 not working with Logic Pro 8

Hello
I was using an m-audio keyrig 49 for a good 3 months, when all of a sudden the A2 key stopped working properly. The transport bar in logic shows that midi data is being received when I press A2, however there is no velocity value. The key only makes a sound when I'm going from another key to it, and even when that happens there is a sustain effect on the note, which aren't on any other keys.
I have tested this on midi keyboards from m-audio, novation, and edirol... keyboards that require drivers and keyboards that don't require drivers.
Any ideas?

Try redefining the key commands. Sometimes they can be a little flaky when importing earlier key commands. Redefining them might "unstick" them...

I installed windows 7, I restarted my computer with the install disk still in and it made me reinstall but my product key would not work anymore.

So I had installed windows 7, but I didn't know how to go back to the os-x so I just turned my computer off then back on but it stayed on windows but asked me to install. I'm guessing it was because the install cd was still in the disk drive. So when i started the installation process again I got to the point where I had to type in my product key but because I had already used it my product key was unavailable. So I'm wondering if there's a way to get my product key to work again. I called microsoft tech support and they told me that I had to talk to someone at apple and I'd like to at all costs avoid paying 50$ to be told to call microsoft.

you didn't read the manual or even look or understand the default keyboard assignments
x = Mac OS X
Option key = boot manager
Apple drivers in Windows includes one just like in OS X System Preferences to handle OS Switcher control panel part of "boot camp" control panel (over used term that tends to mislead and confuse)

Yosemite update to Mac pro keyboard and mouse not working anymore

Updated to Yosemite on my Mac pro, worked perfect for about 2 weeks then my keyboard and mouse stopped responding, both keyboard and mouse were replaced and still won't work. The computer turns on but won't respond to the USB mouse &Keyboard. Help

I have seen 2 out of the 6 mac pro's in my office do this. I am about to go to the apple store to show them.
When the computer is doing this I have tried using every wired apple keyboard in my office and none of them work. If I try the same keyboards on a windows computer or my macbook they work fine. If I use any non apple usb keyboard they work fine. My problem is if I turn the computer off for a few hours the usb apple keyboard works again so when the computer has been off all night and I pack it up to take it to applecare it is working by the time I get into the store.
I think there is a small flaw in usb port on the mac pro or the apple keyboard that when heated up from use stops the pins from contacting completely. It might be a manufacturing defect and it might be an unintended problem caused by how apple slightly modifies their USB ports.
