Keyboard probs since 10.4.10

Since I updated to 10.4.10, the upper 4 keys on the keyboard (sound + eject) don't work anymore. Not that they aren't being recognized by the machine (if the screen fades and I hit one of the sound keys it wakes up again) they just don't control the sound anymore.
Also on the small remote the volume doesn't work, while other functions still work (menu, stop/play, forward/back).
And when I hit cntr-eject (for a reboot or shutdown) the window appears in the left top corner off the screen. Yes OFF the screen, it's only visible for like 40% and cannot be moved (impossible to grab the top bar) so only the 'cancel' and 'shut down' buttons are visible.
Also from the Finder menu, under the Apple on the left, the 'About this Mac' doesn't work anymore.
This is all really annoying.
And it's not only on my Intel iMac, but also on the G5 Tower I work with.
This while others working on G5 iMacs, running the exact same 10.4.10, have no problems at all.
Do we have to wait for Apple to solve this with another Security or OS update? Or is there a workaround to solve these issues?
Regards,
Frans

Hi, millerfj
that is a thing which bothered me as well, but which went after my software updates: That my iMac had problems to log in, whereas the minimac just stayed connected. At present it is just the other way around: there are times of the day, when my mini looses the connection every 30 sec, and the iMac stays.
This indicates to me that it is not primarily a problem of the base station, but rather of the reception side. And note, interference can be:
a) different for every computer and base station, depending on the locations;
b) can change in time;
c) can be caused by something outside your appartment
d) ... perhaps even more
by the way, my iMac is running osx 10.3.9, and shows (or showd) similar problems.

No sound effects on games or keyboard sound since downloaded 8.1.3 this morning on iPad airanyone any ideas pl ?

no sound effects on games or keyboard click since downloading 8.1.3 this morn. At first no sound on anything then played about in setting and switched off and now no sound effects despite being on full volume. If I reset will I lose my games pl ?

I Think you have system sounds muted. Don't reset anything just yet.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7 or 8. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Weird keyboard quirks since installing Lion

Ever since installing Lion, my keyboard has been acting weird.
I can't quite figure out what's going on. So far, I've just discovered a few weird things, like:
I can't use left shift to capitalize T, though it can capitalize every other letter, and I can capitalize it with right shift. What?
Normally I use cmd-shift-[ or cmd-shift-] to switch through tabs in Google Chrome. I can't use the right cmd to activate this, and I can only use it to select the previous tab, with [. Also tried adding cmd-shift-] as a shortcut in sys prefs, but it won't accept it.
The sys prefs F1-12 behavior preference is flipped from what it should be.
I'm sure there will be more, but that's just what I've discovered so far. There are no hardware issues with any keys. Restarting doesn't help. I'm totally baffled.

@willadler,
Check to see if this issue is occuring system-wide by creating a test account (System Preferences > Users & Groups). After creating a new account and logging in as that new user, does the issue still occur? If so, then it might be a system-wide Login Item, so try Safe Boot to be sure, however, if the keyboard works fine in that new user account, then try the following:
• Delete (or Move) the following files from your home folder:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist.lockfile
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.universalaccess.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.universalaccess.plist.lockfile
• Logout and log back in for the changes to take effect, and test the keyboard (NOTE: deleting the above files will reset much of the customizations you have made in System Preferences, so I'd recommend Moving them to the Desktop in case you need to restore them)

YouTube prob since update

Hi, since I updated my iPhone 4 with the current update, I seem to have a problem viewing all videos. Even on YouTube and on face book.
The problem is my keyboard keeps showing at the bottom of the screen, this inturn covers half the screen and the video :-(((
What's happened?????

It sounds like an OS bug...you should do a restore of iPhone and that should correct the issue for you...

Keyboard freezing since update

My iPhone keyboard is lagging something fierce since I did the iOS update yesterday. I've tried everything that used to work to no avail!

I'm also getting these errors on Kubuntu on my work computer. I'm using an old MacBook Pro and I know there is some hardware issue that crashed the driver in OS X. But I'm not sure if I'm getting this error because of the update, since when I left my computer running through the night and when I came to work today, the laptop was turned off. I did update the kernel to 3.16.0-25-generic #33-Ubuntu and did apt-get autoremove. But I guess this could be a kernel issue...this might be due to some short circuit on the keyboard/trackpad bus, since both keyboard and trackpad stopped working, but not the external USB keyboard or mouse.

Galaxy Note 2 keyboard lag since the update

I searched for answers in the boards, but didn't find any. Sorry, if this has been covered already.
Since the 4.1.2 update, my keyboard takes about 10 seconds to appear after clicking a dialog box in ANY program or app. It would appear IMMEDIATELY with old version.
Anyone one else?
Any fix?

It was a security update.

I can no longer do keyboard shortcuts since latest update.

I am running Firefox 34.0.5 on a Windows 7 computer. Firefox updated the other day and I can no longer use my Edit keyboard shortcuts. (ie CTRL V etc) I read an article telling how to correct this with a Mac computer, how do you do it with a Windows computer?

Firefox 35 was released yesterday. Please use Help > About Firefox and run a Check for Updates to get the latest version. Then see if that issue is resolved.

Connection and Keyboard Issues (since 10.5.5 update?)

Not quite the connection issues others are having, once Airport is connected, it stays connected. The issue is with initial connection. When I wake the Macbook up from sleep, I can't click to load anything on the internet/ in email for almost a full minute. If I do, or if mail tries checking for new email, whatever is attempting to load continues to attempt doing so for about 30 seconds or so, when it then tells me that I am not connected to the internet. Airport, however connects to the wifi just as quickly as ever (or, at least, it says it's connected). I just started noticing this issue the other day, around the time I updated to 10.5.5, so I can only assume it's from the update. I have not had any connection issues before this (the Macbook is about 3 months old).
The other issue I've noticed does not happen consistently. Once in a while, when I press the button to decrease screen brightness, the brightness decreases completely and the screen turns black. The other day, I opened the computer up, and the screen was "stuck" black. I couldn't get the brightness to increase. While trying to tap keys to "wake it up," at one point I heard a ding, as if there was an alert that I needed to click OK on or something. I ended up giving up and holding the power button down to shut down and reboot, and haven't had the problem again since.
I've searched the forums to see if others are having these problems, but all I can find is problems with frequent connection drops, and, like I said, I'm not have that issue.

Help?
This is very frustrating.

WiFi prob since OS X.6

Machine in question is an White MacBook mid 2007 2Ghz Core 2 Duo.
I've had this one since new and NEVER had a problem with the WiFi untill I upgraded to OS X.6 using the combo updater, now the only way my machine will connect to my WiFi network is by showing the SSID if the SSID is hidden (closed network) I can sit for any length of time and it will not pick up the network - have read the Apple help about this no use at all. This network had been working for the last 4.5 yrs with the SSID hidden and ALL my other computers PC & Mac have no problems connecting only the MacBook and the only change is the update ?!
So any ideas ?
custom mini

I've had the same exact problem - been searching online for days for help. Nothing's worked. I had my hard drive replaced on Saturday, and when they reinstalled the OS for me, it updated something and now my wifi won't work either. Only way I can connect is to an unsecured network, or wired. I've done all the updates as well. My wifi worked fine until I got it back from the Apple Store.
Let me know if you find any fix!

USB Keyboard prob

I have just found out that I can't use a USB Keyboard to access the BIOS or select the OS on a dual boot Mega 865 PRO. I have checked the BIOS settings and USB legacy support is turned on. Does anyone have a solution to the problem?
TIA
Duncan

I've tied everything. I am starting to think it's a problem with this particular model of keyboard (Logitech gamers), but I don't have another USB KB to try. Im using a cheap PS2 KB to access the bios and then chage over to the Logitech when finished

[KDE4] Troubleshooting keyboard probs [SOLVED]

For two days now I've lost keyboard responsiveness in KDE4.3.1 -- at least when I'm logged in under my username. If I log in to KDE4 as root, the keyboard responds normally. If I log in to Openbox rather than KDE as user or root, the keyboard responds normally.
I've done a lot of updates over the past couple of days and have now set about to revert them one-by-one. So far, nothing has fixed the problem.
Which package is the most likely culprit? Or is there some other KDE setting that I might have goofed up?
Thanks.

Thanks to some people on an OpenSuSE forum, I tracked down the problem at last.
SOLUTION: I simply had to remove the following config file:
~/.kde4/share/config/kaccessrc
I actually made a reserve copy just in case. Without this file, however, kde4 is starting fine, with full keyboard access, for my normal user.
For the record, here are the contents of the kaccessrc file that I removed:
[Keyboard]
GestureConfirmation=true
Gestures=true
SlowKeys=true
I don't see anything there that would have kept me from using the keyboard, but there's must be something amiss somewhere.
Also, this file was absent from the .kde4/share/config of both root and of the new user that I created to work on this problem, both of which had working keyboards under KDE4. So it is pretty clear that there's something offensive about this file!
I hope this helps someone else.

Dv7 keyboard prob

I have a 2 mth old Pavilion dv7-3165dx. I love this laptop. It has eveything I need,and not much that I don't. My problm is the keyboard misses key fairly often. Not any one key specifically,just random one here and there. Dosen't pick up my pressing on keys. Does miss the left side "shift" key, and the "space" bar more than the letter keys, but they are all a real pain in the butt when trying to compose mail or letters. Is there any "fix" for this? I know of others having this same problem. I read the reviews on Best Buy website and many complained of this condition, but it was the best fit for me when I needed to purchase a new laptop. Thank you for any help/info you can provide.
P.S. I tried to correct all missin parts in this post, but didn't get them all!!!

in the BIOS ( hold F10 when you power on the laptop) There may be a section to adjust keyboard functions. Similarly, there is a control panel for "Filter Keys" which may be activated and causing the problem, and there is the Keyboard control panel. Both of these you can get to by opening the start menu and typing in;
for Keyboard: "Keyboard" and it may be the second selection down in the search results
for Filter Keys: "Filter" and the result will be "Ignore repeated keystrokes using FilterKeys", which may be the first selection. You'll want to turn off filterkeys or try playing with the settings.
If these three don't fix the issue, there may be a driver issue. You can right click on "Computer", select "Manage" and on the left side of the window click on "Device Manager" There will be a list of device types in the right side of the window. Double click on "Keyboards" to make it show the keyboard you have installed. Right click on the keyboard and choose "uninstall". You will lose functionality with the keyboard. Reboot the computer, let it come all the way on and then reboot it again.
If that don't work, then it's more than likely just a really stiff, new keyboard and will slowly work itself loser with usage. You may be able to purchase a USB keyboard for around $10 (a walmart cheapy) that you can use for writing emails and such, and use the laptop's keyboard when you're not in a rush-rush or serious situation so that it will still get worn in.
Hope this helps!
