Keyboard locks up when using numeric keypad

I'm using an extended wired keyboard on an iMac i7 running OS X 10.6.8.  When attempting to use the numeric key pad (typically while running Excel Mac 2008) the keyboard freezes.  Mouse control is still available via USB connection to the keyboard.  The only viable recovery is a system reset.  Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Barry....

If it does turn out to be an undesired Universal Access function that's interfereing, and you don't need any of them, you can also disable the keyboard commands that can accidentally activate those functions.
To do that, go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts; in the pane on the left select Universal Access; then in the list on the right uncheck all of the items shown.

  • IPad keyboard locks up when using voice recognition in ios8

    Actually the keyboard  disappears and there is no way to recover it.

    So I've been using wmii since I have been having this trouble and waiting for over a week to get "approved" for the gnome forum, and suddenly my wmii did the same thing.  System locks up completely.  Can't use ctrl alt del, ctrl alt bksp, ctrl alt f, just a hard reset to get out of it.  Something else I noticed last night when I was about to try Idea - I'm a java developer - and I tried to set JDK_HOME to env.  My system locked up just like this problem.
    Did a full system upgrade last night and no new results today.  I don't have much hair left to pull out, anyone able to help me conserve the little bit I have left?  Thanks!

  • Using Numeric Keypad In Oracle Forms 6i

    Dear All,
    I am facing some problems when I am Working with Numeric Keypad on Oracle Forms 6i.
    I have 10 Buttons and In Every Button Property I have defined the "Access Key".
    e.g
    Buttons | Property   | Value
    Button1 | Access Key | "1"
    Button2 | Access Key | "2"
    Button3 | Access Key | "3"
    Button4 | Access Key | "4"
    Button5 | Access Key | "5"
    Button6 | Access Key | "6"
    Button7 | Access Key | "7"
    Button8 | Access Key | "8"
    Button9 | Access Key | "9"
    Button0 | Access Key | "0"Example : When I will Press Only "1" Using Numeric Keypad, Message Window will appear with the Message "You have Pressed 1..."
    All Buttons are functioning Properly when I Pressing (One Key Stroke) 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 using Numeric KeyPad.
    But I am not able to apply this Technique on "*" , "/" , "-" , "+" , "." , "Num Lock".
    How Can I utilize these Characters(*,-,+,/,NumLock) in my application to perform a certain task using Single Key Stroke through Buttons or any other way in Oracle Forms 6i.
    Note : We don't want to give Keyboard / Mouse to User. We have given a Numeric KeyPad to the User for a Certain Task.
    Thanks in Advance

    It works for me on 10g but the only pitfall is the " * ", the workaround is to use the " & " in the label next to the key you want.
    for example:
    Button*   label &*
    Button-   label   &-
    Button/   label   &/
    Button+   label   &+
    Button.   label   &.Try it

  • How do I lock safesearch when using BING

    how do I lock safesearch when using BING search engine

    I assume you're using the "Content Aware" option for the Spot Healing brush.  It can be a maddeningly stupid option -- there's no telling from how far away it will pull the replacement pixels and will leave streaks that can be very difficult to remove.
    It would be best for you to include a sample image that's giving you the problem so we can suggest the best way to attack it.
    In general, the "Content Aware" option works best when you use a very small brush size.  That pulls in pixels closer to the area you want to heal.  If you get streaks, sometimes you can use the Spot Healing brush to get rid of them by going over the area in a perpendicular direction to the streaks.

  • Use numeric keypad in older "full" Apple keyboard under Bootcamp

    I have a mid 2009  iMac running the  BootCamp version 3.2 and Windows 7 Service Pack 1. It uses a plastic "full" keyboard with numeric keypad (s with the slight tilt and italicized letters on the keys).
    I would like to use the numeric keypad, but cannot find a modifier key that corresponds to Alt--NumLock in Windows. Any way to do this or do I need to plug in a PC  keyboard when  booted up in Windows on  BootCamp?

    Hi,
    have you tried the 'clear'-key yet ?
    It's the one directly above the '7'-key in the numeric keypad area.
    Has always worked for me...

  • Odd result using numeric keypad in vi

    Oracle Linux 5.6, x86-64
    This may not be considered a Linux question, per se, but is close enough I'd expect someone here knows the answer.
    When I am editing a file in vi, if I use the numeric keypad to enter numbers, instead of the number, I get a letter followed by a line feed.
    Input of numeric keypad follows. I will be hitting, in sequence, 1, 2, 3, 4:
    t
    s
    r
    q
    Actually, the 'q' was the result of pressing '1'.  Each successive number generated a line feed (pushing the previous entry down), followed by the letter you see.  To clarify
    Input of numeric keypad follows. I will be hitting, in sequence, 1, 2, 3, 4:
    t   < pressing '4' on the keypad, the 's' was pushed down and this 't' was entered.
    s   < pressing '3' on the keypad, the 'r' was pushed down and this 's' was entered.
    r   < pressing '2' on the keypad, the 'q' was pushed down and this 'r' was entered.
    q   < after typing the opening line and 'enter' , I pressed '1' on the keypad, and got this 'q'
    Using the numbers on the top row (above 'qwerty') behaves as one would expect. It's only when I try to use the numeric keypad do I get the above.

    Linux supports hundreds of keyboard layouts; you must identify yours with a line similar to:
    $ export TERM=vt100
    $ reset
    or whatever type terminal or emulator you are using.
    So, er, did you have NUMLOCK on?

  • Machine freezez/lock ups when using password protected certificates in IE 11 Windows 8.1 Pro

    When using certificates that have a password enabled and private keys we find the machine hangs up competly with the memory usage jumping to 99%. The main process being the Local Secuirty Authority Process that causes the machine to lock up. The work
    around we have is to remove this certificate and import a new certificate making sure we un-tick the check box for private key password.
    Not sure if this
    KB2813237 is linked, but this hotfix is available for Windows 8.1 Pro OS.

    Hi  Simon,
    You can try that suggestion and check whether it is solved and give your result, if there is any other issue, you can post it back.

  • Processor locks up when using Firefox, help!

    I am still new to the Mac world and need some help.
    I have a 2009 Macbook, with Mac OS X, 10.6.8, Processor is 2.26 and memory is 4gb.
    I've noticed lately that when using Firefox I seem to have lock up issues and I can't click anything. The rainbow processor thing just keeps running and running. Often times I cannot even click the Apple icon in the tool bar in order to get to force quit. (I don't know what buttons to push for force quit)
    The only way to solve the problem is to hard boot the computer and I know that is not a good thing to do. What is going on with the processor as to why it gives me hang ups when using Firefox? I have about 5-6 windows open and each has about 7-8 tabs open.
    Should I upgrade to Mountain Lion? Will that help? Again, any advice or assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated, keep in mind I am not a techie kind of person, so simple terms will be best.
    Thanks Apple community.

    Ever since I downloaded v12, my computer has been locking up at least twice a DAY. I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything, including Firefox itself, as well as Adobe, and all the plug-ins associated with the application. I've run Spybot, C-Cleaner, and my anti-virus to confirm that there's nothing else wrong with the computer outside Firefox. If the computer is rebooted and Firefox is not opened, the system is fine. But once Firefox has been opened - even if it survives the session and I close Firefox - the computer is about 75% likely to lock up, requiring a hard reboot. I'm running Vista Home edition (32 bit). If anyone has a clue what might help stop this - because I'm quite sure that it's not healthy for my computer to be hard rebooted twice (or more) a day - I'd love to hear it! It's getting waaaay more than annoying, enough so that I'm ready to move to another browser to stop the problem.

  • My computer locks up when using Firefox

    When using Firefox my computer periodically locks up. My screen goes blank and everything is unresponsive. I have to to a hard reboot to get my computer back up. I'm using a 64 bit version of Windows 7 and I have the latest version of Firefox installed. I typically don't use any of the plug-ins.

  • Ipod Mini Locks Up When Using It With A JVC KS-PD100

    Since I've updated my iPod mini to the latest version of the firmware it locks up when I use it with my "Made For iPod" JVC KS-PD100 adaptor.
    This allows me to connect my ipod to my JVC car head unit and control it via the head unit.
    It worked perfectly when I had the old firmware on the iPod, but now I have updated it to the latest version (after a warranty repair) I get the JVC logo appear on the screen and it all works fine with the head unit, but when I disconnect the iPod, the controls are still locked up. I then have to force a re-boot of the ipod to be able to use it again.
    I've tried to download an older version of the ipod updater, but all the links I try give me the latest version of the updater when I come to install it.
    My questions are
    1. Has anybody else had this problem?
    2. Are apple aware of it?
    3. I'm guessing it's a software problem, or have I geen given a duff rarranty replacement?
    4. Where can I get a copy of the older ipod updater - preferrably the october version?
    Any help would be most appreciated as I've e-mailed apple and had no reply at all!
    Thanks
    Ross

    I've tried that already - but then the iPod is connected to the sterio, the iPod controls are disabled so I can't switch it off at all.
    If I disconnect the iPod before turning the sterio off, the ipod stays playing until I reboot it
    It worked perfectly on my old ipod with the old firmware, if I turned off the sterio, the JVC logo woulds disappear, the ipod would be paused and use of the clickwheel controls would be returned automatically.
    I'm guessing it's a bug in the latest iPod firmware

  • E71 locks up when using maps

    My E71 will lock up when I try t use the maps options. I just bought it and am in Panama City Panama. What can I do? Also if any body has any pointer on using this thing I could use them. I am new to this type of phone.

    Hi dbg20
    If you have not defined a valid WEB connection for the "Positioning Server" then the Assisted GPS feature may not be able to establish a connection, which is enough to lock-up application; if you don't have a GPRS data connection you may have to disable the "Assisted GPS" feature unfortunately.
    Tools > Settings > General > Positioning > Positioning Server > Access point 
    Also make sure Assisted GPS is checked under "Positioning Methods".

  • Lightroom locks up when using auto import / watch folder

    Hello All
    Has anyone ran into a problem with Lightroom locking up when you are using the auto import / watch folder feature. Everytime i try to even drop one file in the watched folder, I get a lightroom is not responding message. This really suck...........Everything else seems to be working so far.
    Thanks
    Bill

    I had the same problem. When i would auto import, it would stuck after one photo was imported. I have a separate partition on my harddisk for photo's (F:\) when i made an extra subdirectory (F:\Photo) and auto imported the photo's to that place the problem was solved. Why ? I don't know

  • System lock ups when using hard disks

    At first I thought I had the same issue as in this thread however after reading his logs I decided that it is unlikely since the topic opener seems to be getting a bunch of
    Apr 4 17:00:15 daxteriv slim[708]: (Do:882): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 46 was not found when attempting to remove it
    , so I decided to start a new thread.
    I am not getting anything in my logs when I look at them after the crashes. It seems as if whatever is causing the issue makes it impossible to write to the drives so nothing seems out of place until after it's too late, and quite obvious that something is wrong. The sole exception to this was some complaint about ata9.00, however this seems to have been a red haring since the complete removal of this drive solved nothing, though it did make the error go away.
    I have run memtest, and prime95 (in windows since at the time I didn't want to boot my system) both coming back negative. I also checked for SMART errors, particularly UDMA errors. Again, negative.
    Here are some previous threads of mine that I believe to be all related to the same issue:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195449
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=193937
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=192704
    [edit3] My previous thought was that this was a btrfs issue, however now I think it may be more hardware related.[/edit3]
    Last night I was writing urandom to a new drive and I woke up in the morning to see that it had stopped prematurely, but not due to lack of space. The system had not locked up completely, which was new, however, as soon as I did something that accessed the disks (tried using the Gnome Dash), all hell broke loose. I immediately hit the power button, which would start a shutdown. I didn't know about REISUB, or I would have tried that. In anycase the shutdown failed and I had to hard reboot.
    The evening before I was playing games just fine and doing normal activities.
    Also, the other day, while booted into the live cd I think it started to crash since it was acting extremely bizarre, but I shutdown, successfully, before it could do more than complain a lot. At the time I was in the middle of scrubbing a btrfs volume after a system lock up. I think, but am not certain, that I saw on my motherboard "A5" which, according to the manual indicates "SCSI reset", but I had an extremely bad viewing angle. I know neither if what I think I saw was correct, nor do I know if the system was again in the process of a meltdown.
    In general there is no activity that seems to be able to instantly trigger this, though in each case, if my memory serves me well, there was a constant stream of data either to or from a HDD.
    My set up is that I have 5 HDDs, and an SSD. One HDD has Windows, my fallback installation of Arch, and daily backups. Another drive, which I just installed a few days ago currently only has single 50GB btrfs partition that is not part of any sort of larger volume. I also have three other drives each with four parttitions each involved in a btrfs volume. At the top is a 175 GB volume in a RAID0 configuration,  after that is a 25GB partiton in RAID1, then a 650GB partion (RAID1), and the remainder of the disk (about 80GB) is in single. The RAID0 is has games on it and sometimes for short term storage (a few hours), the 25GBx3 RAID1 is used for Arch as well my ~/.local, ~/.cache, ~/.thunderbird, ~/.mozilla, and ~/.config. The 50GB partition I mentioned is currently doing the job of this volume, and was not mounted last night, but has been before. The 650GBx3 is used for long term storage of just about everything, in particular ~ is mounted here. The single configured volume is used for downloads, storing ISOs and installers. The SSD is used for caching those partitions used in the RAID0 volume with bcache. I DO NOT think this is a bcache issue since the RAID0 volume has never had any errors.
    My motherboard is a ASUS X79-DELUXE which has the SATA controllers: Intel X79 Express Chipset, Marvell 9230, ASMedia 1061.
    [edit] Oh, I'm on kernel 3.19.2 and btrfs is 3.19.
    [edit2] Also, I converted the RAID0 to a single in case that matters.
    [edit4] I finished scrubbing and copied my "journalctl -b" output to pastebin. I can't see any thing that might raise any flags. http://pastebin.com/WXpbpTuc

    nstgc : it's hard to tell if your problems are memory related, but memtst often needs multiple passes to detect errors.
    How many passes did you let it make ?
    Is it possible for you to take out say half of the memory chips and see if that changes anything ?

  • Reader 9.3 locks up when using icons to move within doc & print

    I've run into an issue with Adobe Reader 9.3.2 under XP SP3 all updated...
    When I try and read a PDF and move through the documents using the various icons at the top menu - such as the arrows or printing icon - it hangs up.  If I use the slider bar on the right to move through the document I don't have an issue.  But consistently clicking on any of the icons seems to hang/lock up any PDF.
    I've uninstalled all of the adobe products and reinstalled everything from adobe site and still have this issue with the icons.
    This is on an HP Probook with a touchpad and a ms wireless mouse.  Stumped.  So is IT.
