Keyboard number pad not functioning!

i dont know what exactly i did, i might have pressed a keyboard shortcut i dont know. im reletively new to macs. my number pad doesnt work at all. it's an apple keyboard. its the side of the far right with all the numbers on it. its the new apple g5 keyboard, i got my imac this year so the keyboard is up to date.
its just the standard, not wirless at all. is there a system prefrence that i can change it back?!!!!????!!!???
responses will be greatly appriciated.

I had a similar problem where my numerical keypad on my Pro Keyboard seemed to stop working. In fact, when I used the numerical keys over there it would 'lock-up' whatever I was doing and I had to call up the Force Quit panel to shake my application free of the lock. (I didn't actually Force Quit the app, just CTRL-OPTION-COMMAND'ed to call the FQ menu up and then closed the menu. This saved me from shutting the app down completely while "releasing" the numerical keypad.)
Thanks to AXL for the tip on Universal Access. Hope my submission here helps anyone else who wonders why their keypad suddenly seems possessed!

Cisco ISE 1.2 keyboard number pad not working in CLI

I cant get a keyboard number pad to work in ISE 1.2 when accesing via the SSH CLI. NumLock makes no difference and changing settings in my Putty session doesnt make any difference either.
Anyone got any ideas?

Have you tried to ssh into the router and then ssh into the ISE node? Are you running this on a vm or is this an appliance, by any chance is this the UCS appliance, try accessing the console port through CIMC if possible.
Thanks,

Wireless keyboard number pad not working

I purchased a wireless keyboard about 4 months ago and realized about a month ago the 9 digit number pad on the right stopped working. Every other button still works just not 1-9. Is there a number lock button that I may have pushed???

What brand and model of numeric keypad are you attempting to use?

Keyboard number pad not recognized through bootcamp windows 7

Running windows 7 through bootcamp, the number pad on my keyboard does not respond.

I had the same thing as you (that my BT mouse & keyboard were working but then after a while they started to act up -mouse freezing on&off, keys sticking-).
In my case the 'before' and 'after' was actually running the setup on the Bootcamp Utility disk that contains all the Bootcamp drivers. There must be a rogue driver on there that messed up my system. I ended up doing a reinstall and only installing the bluetooth drivers (that are also on the same Utlity disk, but in the $WinPEDriver$ folder. This at least worked for me.
However, by doing so I did not get the handy Bootcamp utility in the lower left corner of Windows that allows me to conveniently reboot and switch from Win8 to MacOS. I am trying to figure out if I can install that utility separately without all the drivers being automatically installed as well

Keyboard number pad not working....

I have installed Leopard, and now my number pad won't work. I have looked under System Preferences, and found nothing wrong there. I have the aluminum keyboard that is wired. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks...

I am having the same problem on my 24" imac (late 2006).
My keyboard is a wireless mac keyoard.
All the number keys (0-9), as well as the decimal key do not work. When trying to use these keys in TextEdit or TextWrangler, they actually cause the keyboard to appear to lock up (command-option-esc clears, with no need to actually force-quit anything). The F-keys also appear to continue working.

FCP Pro Keyboard number keypad not working with Macbook Pro

Switching over to a macbook pro I find my Pro Keyboard number pad has stop working, infact if I try to use it it crashs my computer
any help?

have you tried to repair your permission, and restart mac maybe it works
Kinda hard to do that if the keyboard and trackpad isn't working - don't you agree?
In any event - what were you doing last before your keyboard and trackpad stopped functioning?
Did you do any upgrades to your Macbook?
Have you tried doing a PRAM/NVRAM or SMC reset?

HP DV9291ea Number pad not working after been in for repair

I have a HP DV 9291ea laptop. It is a 17 inch model with a numeric keypad on it. The problem is, when the numlock key is turned on the keyboard number pad get's enables. I recently had the mother board changed by HP/Tarsus. I suspect that they didnt load the correct keyboard profile. They (Tarsus) said that should bring the laptop in and they will fix it (for free). I will do that if no one can help me here, Is there an easy and permanent fix for this problem?
I can temnporarly get around it by doing the following:
making sure the numlock is off.
opening the on screen keyboard (start>programs>accessories>ease of access>on screen keyboard)
a keyboard layout will opens on the screen
I hold down the FN button down on the real keyboard and clicking the nlk button on the onscreen keyboard by using my mouse.
the problem is is i press the numlock key again I will have to go through the whole process again.
Anyone have any idea what could cause this or how to fix it permanently?
If you might have a suggestion, please post it to me....

This thread's been dead for a few years, but since I had to really search to find the answer to this issue, I thought i'd share what worked for me.
In Win7, go to Start->Accessories->Ease of Access->Ease of Access Center, click "Make the mouse easier to use" and uncheck "Turn on mouse keys".
This fixed my problem on a HP G72 with integrated numeric pad.

Hi,
does the numpad work in other Windows programs, or is it just the MS Office programs ?
Have you tried the 'clear'-key (the one above the '7'-key on the numpad) to enable the numpad ?

Stefan

Number pad not working on keyboard ?

My number pad on keyboard seems to be locked and don't know how to unlock

Hello Joaquinfromhi,
You may need to press the 'Num Lock' button or key on your keyboard, or you may have enabled 'Mouse Keys.'

W700 Number pad Not working

W700 Windows 7 Pro x64
The full 10 key pad is working. It does not work if you try to use it to login but right when windows starts, it will work for about 3-4 keystrokes and then stop working. When it stops working, nothing. No arrow movement or numbers.

W701 - Win 7 / 64. My number pad is also not working (mostly). This has been the case since purchase, about one year ago (04-2011). It works as soon as Win 7 starts, but after a short time it no longer functions. However the Fn + NmLk keys do produce the short-cut to the calculator. I thought it had to do with sleep mode or hibernation, and if I waited, a new driver would be available, but this is yet to be the case. Perhaps it is a loose cable connection under the keyboard (?) - it remains a mystery. If I discover a solution I will post back here.

Extended keyboard number pad problem

My stock keyboard numb er pad does not work right. The "=", "/", "+", "-", "*" and "enter" keys work OK. The upper row sound and eject keys work OK
None of the digit keys work as expected. The "." key also does not work.
Hitting the zero digit key locks up my mouse button. Other keys give erratic results.
I have reset the keybaord preferences and reset PRAM many times with no benefit.
I have exactly the same results on both my wired keyboard and the B luetooth wireless Apple keyboard.
I have read other complaints very similar to mine but no solution.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Bill

You may have pressed Option five times, thus turning on "Mouse Keys". You can disable this Option function, and turn off "Mouse Keys" in the "Mouse" tab of "Universal Access" system preference.

You need to turn off Mouse Keys in System Preferences - Universal Access - Mouse & Trackpad. Also uncheck "press option key five times to turn mouse keys on".

Qosmio x500/02G Number Pad Not Working

Hello,
I have a x500 that i recently purchased and installed Windows 7 Professional on it. Now i cannot use the number pad on the right hand side of the keyboard.
I've tried using various combinations of NUMLOCK and SCROLLLOCK to no avail. Surely there a seperate number pad doesn't require drivers?!

The problem was a faulty keyboard. there was a bank of keys on the numeric pad that were non-functional.
A bit dissapointing given i'd had the laptop for less than 24 hours. Took it back to the store for a replacement.

Keyboard and Mouse Not Functioning

Hello folks,
I have a T60. Once Windows loads up, the internal keyboard and mouse do not function. They function before Windows loads (in Bios config, etc.) and the keys to turn on the spotlight work. An external USB keyboard and mouse work perfectly.
As far as I know, this is completely random. It's driving me crazy.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Chris

Chris, welcome to the forum,
did the advice in the other thread you posted in yesterday not help? There is a link to a possible solution in another thread here. You need to feed the boards with information; especially what you've tried, but didn't work - members get hungry
What happens in safe mode? Does the keyboard et al work as expected? Have you tried deinstalling them in safe mode through device manager and then restarting?
Thanks
