Keyboard not working anymore

Hi!
I had some troubles this morning, I booted up my computer and apparently my rc.conf had been restored? All my daemons and modules were gone and so was my hostname setup and locales etc.
I changed it, and rebooted. It then said that filesystem check failed, so I logged in and ran e2fsck on that partition, rebooted and it worked fine. However, now my keyboard does not respond. I'm not using X since I log in using the terminal.
what's up with this? How come arch does not recognize my keyboard any longer? Thus I can't do anything, not even log in.

No I haven't, but now it works again, but sometimes it takes a while before the keyboard gets recognized.
I did a full reinstall, however - now my grub is kinda messed up. I have two hdds a 300gb.
On sda I have 1 partition, with mac osx. I don't want to touch that right now. I boot from sdb (mbr) and my partitions are the following:
sdb1 /boot
sdb2 swap
sdb3 /
sdb4 /home
I point my grub to hd(1,2) which would be sdb3 right? But it says that the partition could not be found. What's up with that?
If i point it to hd(1,0) I get some other error, don't remember which.

Some keys on my keyboard not working anymore

So i got my macbook i think like a year ago maybe little more and a row of keys in my keyboard stopped working i have apple care extended for 3 years, does this will cover fixing my keyboard?

It will cover the keyboard as long as it is determined that the keyboard failed on it's own, not because of something you may have done, like spilt water on it for example.

HT1199 Help. Forward button on keyboard not working on itunes anymore. anyone have any ideas?

Forward button on keyboard not working on itunes anymore. This always used to work i don't know what has changed. Click on next track works also does the remote control.

If you are referring to the functional keys on top. do you press FN key together with the F7, F8 or F9? Does that work?
I hardly ever use the F keys as CMD_ARROW is much faster for me and SPACE bar stops or starts as long as iTunes app is in the foreground

Audacious: keyboard shortcuts not working anymore

Hi all
After one of the last Audacious updates, my keyboard shortcuts (like b for going to the next track) in Audacious are not working anymore. I have activated Global Hotkey as well as Gnome Shortkeys, but the shortcuts are not back. Did anyone experience the same issue? How do I get my shortcuts back?
Best regards
Martin

Some keyboard shortcuts have been changed in the GTK interface, since many of the old shortcuts interfered with typing
(for example, binding the spacebar without modifiers to “pause”). Look around in the drop-down menus to find the new shortcuts.

Mac os 10.4.10 software update problem -- my mac does not work anymore :(

hello!
i have a powerbook G4- PPC. just today, i did a software update of my OS to 10.4.10 (it was the available update version according to the automatic uptae) and during the final stage of the installation, it says "a problem was encountered...installation package is moved to trash"
when i browsed my mac, my apps does not work anymore!!! they just bounce from the dock when i clicked it but it won't open any window. i emptied the trash and restarted my mac but sadly, it just boot but won't continue to the log in part, only in the silver window with the apple logo and mac os x tiger... and the mouse just turns into the color wheel. i waited for 30 mins and nothing happened.
i don't have a startup disc because the mac is a gift and it was long time ago. is ther a software i can use to fix or revert the changes of the unsuccessful OS update? why is there always a problem when i do OS update? isn't apple software stable?
My mac problems' driving me crazy!!!

There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695

F# keys on Apple Wireless Keyboard not working correctly.

Hello everyone,
Today I bought a brand new Apple Wireless Keyboard (the small ones who resemble laptop keyboards), which I'm very glad I bought as some keys on my older keyboard started not working anymore.
I configured the keyboard with bluetooth and it's working just fine, except for one thing:
The F# keys don't work as their respective icons indicate (i.e. If I press F10, F11 and/or F12, the volume isn't affected as it normally should, but instead the keys don't seem to respond, as if I weren't pressing them).
In the Keyboard & Mouse panel in System Preferences, under the Keyboard Shortcuts, I managed to reset the F1 to F4 keys so they work as their respective icons indicate, though I didn't find and don't know how to create any shortcuts to make the volume keys (F10, F11 & F12) work again.
Also, I would appreciate if you could help me out to reset the F7, F8 & F9 keys, which don't work either.
I tried checking and un-checking the "Use the keys F1, F2 and so on, as standard function keys." option under the Keyboard tab, and pressing the "fn" key while pressing the F# keys, but none of those attempts seem to change anything to how the F# keys work.
I don't know what else to do anymore and I would really appreciate some help now.
Thanks in advance for your responses,
Oscar.

Shutdown your macbook.After thats done , switch the wireless keyboard off. Press Shift + Ctrl + Option + Power Key (all together ) and then release together. Start up the macbook and once that's up start up the keyboard.Try now.The keys should work fine.

Shift-Command-R does not work anymore

Hello all,
I've noticed that the shortcut shift-command-r does not work anymore on my macbook pro. I used it for the calendar to refresh all calendars, and its also handy to open the reader in safari 5.
When I open the keyboard viewer from the language and text menu I can see it when I press shift, then command but when I press "R" nothing changes, only shift+command stay highlighted. Other letters do work, so its a bit strange.
Anyone know a solution for this?
Thank you in advance

Nope thats not the problem, the listening key is Esc. It is as if the keyboard does not register it when the R is pressed in combination with the shift and the command together. As I said, the keyboard viewer shows every keystroke except the shift-command-r combi.

Copy to stickies does not work anymore

Hello,
As the subject says, somehow I mangled my settings so copy to stickies does not work anymore, pressing shift-option-Y. I have no idea what has changed, restoring the keyboard shortcuts to their default didn't help. Does anyone have a suggestion or a solution?
Kind regards,

You can open the firefox instead of the safari. It works. However, they should solve this problem. Another bug, after saving the document, don't expect to have the figures and tables in the same place when you reopen it. THIS WAS THE WORST SOFTWARE VERSION EVER! I am totally upset. It is worst than powerpoint now.

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.

Volume control on keyboard not working?

I have an HP Pavillion dv7-3165dx Entertainment Notebook. The volume control on the keyboard is not working anymore. How do I turn it back on?

Hi,
Try downloading and installing the latest driver from HP on the link below - this may be the same one applied by HPSA, but try installing it again.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp52501-53000/sp52790.exe
After the installation has completed, restart the notebook.
If the above fails to solve the issue, try reinstalling Quick Launch Buttons from the installer on the following link.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53001-53500/sp53135.exe
Again, restart after the installation has completed.

E531 - Keyboard not working / Microphone too quiet - Tastatur geht nicht / Mikro extrem leise

Dear Community,
after several problems with my Thinkpad E531 I am realy disappointed.
- since I bought the Thinkpad recently the microphone was to quiet. People can hardly hear me on Skype. I also tried to enhance the sound virtually but it does not make a chance realy.
- some of my keyboard keys are not working anymore, such as Printscreen, PageUp, PageDown, Delete.
- also faced problems with an SSD running with Windows 8 as it froze down regularly. Now I use Windows 7 and finally at least it does not freeze anymore.
What can I do about the microphone and keyboard? Thank you.
Hallo liebe Community,
ich bin langsam echt entnervt mit Lenovo.
Habe mir ein E531 vor kurzem gekauft.
- Bereits seit Kaufdatum ist das Mikro extrem leise. Skypen ist nahezu unmöglich. Selbst mit virtueller Verstärkung des Tons. Was kann ich hier tun?
- Tastatur funktioniert nur teilweise. Inzwischen sind die "Entf", "Druck", "Bild hoch", "Bild runter" - Tasten nicht mehr funktionsfähig. Habe Windows 7 neu installiert aber es hilft nichts.
- SSD-Festplatte fror mit Windows 8 regelmäßig ein. Daher auf Windows 7 umgestiegen. Mit Windows 7 geht es immerhin ohne einfrieren.
Was kann ich bezüglich Mikro und Tastatur tun? Habe schon Sony, Toschiba, HP und Dell Laptops ohne Probleme verwendet aber bei dem Lenovo weiß ich jetzt echt nicht weiter.
Danke.
