Keyboard numeric pad causes safari to freeze.

I have an aluminuium wired keyboard, and since I downloaded the latest software update this week, the numeric keypad doesnt work, and casues Safari to freeze and i have to force quit. I have snow leopard. Any ideas? I have a magic mouse which up till this week is my pride and joy!

I don't know about making Safari freeze, but if the numbers don't work, you may have the option to use it instead of the mouse turned on.
Check System Prefs > Universal Access > Mouse for the Mouse Keys ON button.

TrackPoint Keyboard & Numeric Pad don't seem to play nicely

Hi all.
I have just bought a 55Y9003 TrackPoint Keyboard and 33L3225 Numeric KeyPad to replace my ancient (circa 1997) full trackpoint keyboard; which, by the way has been sensational. I was very disappointed to see it leave the product range.
When I connect the new keyboard and numeric pad to my notebook (Dell 620) pressing the NumLock key on the numeric keypad also puts the keyboard into "NumLock" mode, which defeats the purpose of having the Numeric KeyPad.
Does anyone know a fix for this ?
Needless to say it didn't happen with my old trackpoint keyboard, even on the Dell !
Much sadness follows ;-(

Did you find a resolution for this?

My website causes Safari to freeze on OSX - PC works fine though!

HI.
My web page (composed on Dreamweaver CS3) at http://kareltests.co.uk causes Safari running on Mac OSX (10.4.11) to freeze up if I try to close the window or navigate away. The page works fine otherwise, as does everything else. Only when trying to close the page, or navigate away, is there a prob. I then have to 'force quit' to get out. This behavioiur is something very new. The Mac is copmpletely updated, the last update being some weeks ago.
I've tried playing all the embedded videos through to the end to see if that makes any difference, but it doesn't. Restarting the Mac doesn't fix it.
I also tried emptying the cache and the window closed ok, but only once. The problem returned on re-opening Safari when going back to that page. Emptying the cache again doesn't clear it - that only worked once.
On a PC on any player, including Safari, there's no prob. Just on my Mac.
Maybe it's worth noting that I deleted a lot of redundant code (DW does like to generate a mountain of the stuff) but it's worked fine for months. Not any more.
Any ideas?
p.s. just discovered that if I leave the page open for several minutes it closes ok.
This 'fix' has now worked twice, but it's hardly a solution, though it may provide a clue...?
Many thanks.

"12 Errors, 4 warning(s) "
Thanks. I know about that. The errors are small nit-picky things that can be ignored. Most of them are in the embedding coding supplied by the video hosts which the validator doesn't recognise.
For instance, http://apple.com generates "6 Errors, 1 warning(s)" And this forum page will give you "55 errors, 44 warning(s)"! Does that really mean I can code better than Apple?

Hotmail causing safari to freeze

Hi,
I am new to this forum do bear with me pls.
I have a new mac, and have tried to configurate the hotmail account to the mail progarmme on the mac. Three problems:
1. All of the files over transferred over to the mac from the hotmail account and have been moved from the inbox to the deleted folder in the hotmail ( not sure if this is due to other problems with hotmail?).
2. None of the emails in the my personal folders from the hotmail account have migrated over, just the ones in the inbox
3. Now every time I log into hotmail to access the personal folders the Mac crashes and hotmail freezes.
Help anyone? Pleeze I need some advice, at least how to save the folders from my hotmail account.
Thanks

Why does the new OS X update cause Safari to freeze when adding a bookmark?

Just installed the latest OS X update and now every time I attempt to add a bookmark Safari freezes (Not Responding) and the color wheel just spins and spins until I force the program closed. OS X 10.9.5 / MacMini

Try installing OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 combo update.

Horizontal keyboard is slow - causes safari to crash.

I've been using my phone a lot lately to some things online and typing in landscape mode but whenever I do the typing slows to a crawl and safari will sometimes crash. Anyone else see this?

Yeah, I only notice this on certain websites (myspace.com and others) although I don't frequent that website. To fix this I just clear the cookies, history and cache, and it helps the problem to some effect.

The fn/function key and Safari causing it to freeze! Help!!

Hi there, I'm a new user to Mac, just got my Macbook today. I have a problem with my safari. I was trying to group a few pictures together in a folder with the shift key but I accidentally pressed the "fn" key and some other key I'm not sure which and this has caused my safari to freeze, or rather when I click on any buttons or tabs it just gives me the error sound and it will not close. I've tried to restart or shut down my mac but it wouldn't let me because it says to shut down safari before I can shut down the Macbook. I've tried everything to try to shut it down but it can't because everytime I click on something on safar I just get the error sound! I can't even click to open a new window. I've been trying and trying and I dunno what is it that I did with the "fn" key thats made it this way! Please help! Thank you!

Force Quit Safari
Command-Option-Escape
-OR-
Apple Menu -> Force Quit
-OR-
Dock -> Option-Click -> Force Quit
If that does not work, then you can always power-off the Mac (NOT desirable, but sometimes it is needed, I just hope the Force Quit works). To power off, press and hold the power button for 5 to 10 seconds, and this will power off your Mac.

Numeric pad doesn't work anymore in extended Keyboard

IMAC numeric pad in old extended keyboard doesn't word anymore . I think something wrong in configuration but can't find it.
help

I called Apple and we trouble shot it for over an hour. It turns out that I could use the number pad when logging in under "test" username but not for my own. After deleting a lot of things and restarting, we found that the problem was in this file "com.apple.universalaccess.plist!!! Once we trashed that and restarted it, my number pad worked and now works fine.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to reply! Your suggestion was the first thing we worked on and ruled that out!

Apple's new wireless keyboard - why no numeric pad?????

I wanted to go buy one of those new sleek keyboards a while ago and I wanted it to be wireless. But then I found out that the wireless keyboard doesn't have a numeric pad! Why? Really, I don't see the purpose of this! I hope someone at Apple reads this and that they will start producing wireless keyboards with a numeric pad again because until then they won't see my money going to them. Anyone else who shares my opinion about this?
Stef

I agree, the numerical keypad is not useful for me. However, I miss the delete, home, end and page up/down keys. It is annoying with the wireless keyboard to have to use backspace to delete.
Apple should either expand the current wireless model to include these keys or offer the current wired keyboard in wireless version.

Numeric Pad Freezes Mac

Everytime I try and use any keys on the numerics pad, the whole computer freezes and I have to do a hard shut down and restart. Its brand new, only a week old and barely been used. I have adobe CS Elements and MS Office Student & Teacher as additional software, else everything is straight out the box.
Help Please????

Hi Bjorn
As a new unit you are entitled to another machine but if you would be happy with just a keyboard fair enough. You could just take the keyboard in - with your receipt - and get them to test it, if it is OK then you know it is the machine itself. Don't think it makes you look foolish these guys are there to help and attitudes are different in the Mac community to that of some PC users and suppliers.
If you have not already done so consider AppleCare, that will give you 3 years warranty cover from the original date of purchase.
Happy New Year

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.

Why is it so hard to get a iPad keyboard with a numeral pad?

I would like to get a wired keyboard for my iPad via the camera connector kit, I've read with the newer iOS's it's not possible. What other options are there for people that need to do a lot of numerical data entry? The iPad woul work perfectly for me except for the numeral pad!

That's what I'm looking for, I'm leaning toward the apple wireless keyboard and I believe they made a blue tooth numerical pad that matched the profile of the keyboard, I have a wifi iPad so I would have to be Bluetooth connected to a iPhone, keyboard and numerical pad, was wondering if anyone had done this and what the functionality was like with that many devices running?
