Keyboard repeating not working with latest update for mac?

I just updated my Macbook Pro with a new version of Yosemite and i have come to find that the keyboard repeating function is not working anymore, even with the command: defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
in terminal.
Is there anyway to resolve this? I find the other character extremely annoying that they always pop up
thank you!

The repeating function you want has been off by default since 10.7 was released 3 years ago.  That terminal command should normally do the trick.  Did you logout and login again?

  • I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help!

    I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help! Any suggestions for fixing this?

    Did you ever get a solution to your problem? Because I am having the same problem. I was actually in the middle of using Word when the keyboard stopped working. But it works in other apps, including in Excel.
    Thing is that my laptop just got back from Apple for repairs and they replaced everything but the display - including the hard drive.
    So not only do I have plenty of hard drive space, but it should be virus and error free otherwise.
    I have only installed a few programs and redownloaded some of my files from places like Dropbox, but otherwise is essentially a new system.
    Oh - and it came with Yosemite, so I did not upgrade to Yosemite and still Word doesn't work.
    I've always had trouble getting Word to play nice with my Mac but that was also with the old, full hard drive.
    This is a fresh install. And since I lost all my files, I only had like 1 old file I have downloaded from email and accessed and was in the process of
    creating a new file when it crashed. I got no error, the keyboard just stopped working (to type). I also cannot even get Word > Preferences to even open,
    so it is completely unresponsive.
    I did a Google search and under the Microsoft communities two suggestions to that person were that there may be multiple copies installed -
    I have only the one - and that one is in the wrong place - again, I only have the one and it installed to the Hard drive (visible in Launchpad / Apps).
    Another suggestion was that there was some problem with the updates. I ran updates and they installed fine. That helper suggested that the user
    may have had different updates that worked for the other Office apps (Excel, PPT etc.) but not Word and that was at least part, if not all of his problem,
    but all my Office apps show the same update version 12.3.6, so that cannot be the issue with me.
    I've not yet tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but as I got no errors on the original install or updates, I'm not sure if that would fix it.
    I've found that Mac just doesn't play nice with some programs at all.
    And even though I have a factory installed version of Yosemite on a new, fresh hard drive, even when I booted up, my iPhoto app (which is empty) crashed. I am not sure if my iPhone or iPad was charging at the time, but I don't think so. iPhoto that I still have not even used has crashed several more times since, most notably when plugging in my iPhone / iPad to charge, namely when I declined to upload photos (by default) to DropBox. That may not be related at all, but thus far seems the only other problem I have encountered until this Word problem.
    I'm on a MacBook Pro, Sept. 2009, running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 factory installed from Apple repairs running Office: 2008 for Mac (Home and Student edition).
    Please advise if you found a resolution and what it was.
    Thanks

  • DVD player does not work with latest update

    I installed the latest update 10.8.2 and now my brand new Superdrive will not work with new MacBook Pro Retina display.  When I plug in Superdrive and try to start a DVD, it say "DVD quit unexpectedly......"   Took to Apple store and they said it was latest update.  Anyone else with this problem?

    Dear all,
    Perhaps you found out yourselves but the latest Software Update, called OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Supplemental Update, solves this issue. I recommend you install it and restart your Mac.
    When you insert a DVD in the drive and DVD Player launches, you will be prompted to confirm the region encoding (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, based on the encoding of the DVD you are about to play). This is normal, and you should confirm it again, even if you did it previously.
    Naturally, if most of your DVDs are encoded for one region and you want to play a disc encoded for another region, please remember you may make a limited number of region changes when you play other DVDs, and the last one will be permanent. So, act with caution and sensibility.

  • Warp stabilizer not working with latest update

    After latest update (updated 10/10) Warp stabilizer stopped working. Already stabilized clips in project show black / transparent in preview, besides small area left or right upper corner. Changing Video rendering from GPU acceleration to Software makes stabilized clip come back... however now it creates flickering to all stabilized clips. Deleting "Warp stabilizer" effect from clips removes flickering. What might help?

    I'm experiencing a similar thing.
    2014.1 (October Update) on OSX 10.9.5
    For me, Warp Stabilizer is working on regular clips. But when I try to apply it to a nested sequence, the result is exactly as you describe. Video is fully visible while analyzing and stabilizing, but once stabilized it's just black (actually, I did some tests, and it's actually transparent).
    I can replicate this even with codec-agnostic footage like bars & tone.
    Adobe - what's up here?
    Edit: sometimes I get the top-left-corner thing, and sometimes it's completely blank. Trying to track down the pattern.

  • Keyboard shortcuts not working in Illustrator CC for Mac

    I'm having a lot of problems using keyboard shortcuts in Illustrator CC for Mac. They'll will work intermittently. No keyboard issues anywhere else. Is this a bug, or something I can remedy on my end?

    I am having the exact same problem and it is really infuriating at times... I just switched from CS6 where I encountered no such problems.
    It seems that it usually happens when I switch to Finder or another application and back (altough it may only be Finder). The Illustrator window is still active because I can see Illustrator reacting when I press only CMD or ALT. However all keyboard shortcuts just stop working, for instance CMD+S, or V or any other toolbar shortcuts. To fix it I have to do a mouse click on a tool or menu command or something, and the shortcuts are back for a while...
    I am also running Illustrator v.17.0.0 and OS X 10.8.4 on a macbook Pro connected to a Thunderbolt Display and bluetooth mouse/keyboard.
    I sure hope this is picked up by Adobe soon, it is really messing with my workflow!

  • Crashing/not working with latest update on Android

    I have installed the latest version of app on my Android phone and managed to log in and set everything up fine but there are now a few problems:
    1) Nearly every time I open the app the notification icon (which was supposed to not show anymore) shows for a second then I get returned to my home screen.  I open the app again and it does the same but eventually after opening/crashing it does work but can sometimes take 6 times before it actually stays open! (I've cleared cache, cleared data, rebooted phone etc.)
    2) I've tried making calls with wifi and 3g (and also tried with wifi in airplane mode) but it always says 'call failed'.
    When I run the test connection option it takes ages then says 'connection test failed, sorry but there's a problem with the BT SmartTalk service, try again later'
    I've checked the service page and it doesn't report any problems!
    I can live with the first problem although it's annoying but the 2nd problem is preventing me from actually using the app!

    My dad also updated the latest version and he also cannot make any calls

  • Hello,  I have iMac from Oct, 2010 and have OS 10.6.7 and multiple users.  Mail icon was accidently removed along with program.  Mail 4.4 is on other users but when I reloaded software my user got Mail 4.3. Mail 4.3 did not work with latest OS. Ideas?Matt

    Hello,  I have iMac Itel i3, from Oct, 2010 and have OS 10.6.7 and multiple users. 
    About 3-4 days ago the Mail icon in dock had question mark and was accidently removed, along with program on my user.  Oops.
    1. Mail 4.4 is on other users and works fine, but for me it does not work and tells me V4.3 does not work with latest OS X. 
    2. I reloaded software from my user with original disks  (Oct, 2010) and got Mail 4.3 again. Mail 4.3 did not work with latest OS.  I am unable to load Mail.  Gives Yellow error message.    
    "  You have Mail version 4.3 (1081/1084). It can’t be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.7 (Build 10J869). For more information, click the Help button."
    3. Tried to update software and look for update for mail 4.3 on Apple site to no success.
    Hate to go to MS-Entorage ( I may need to learn something new and alien) mail program since contracts are in Mail/Address Book.
    Ideas?

    Matt,
    I would download and run the 10.6.7 combo update.

    my mac's keyboard is not working with my mac.the green light blinks and i cannot get onto my mac. everything on the support questions does not help because i cant go on the mac and i cant sign in

    If you can't sign in, then you can't troubleshoot and/or pair the keyboard until after that........ so, for that, you will need to borrow someone's USB wired keyboard in order to get signed in and to the Keyboard Bluetooth Preferences.

  • The volume keys on my Logitech K760 wireless keyboard do not work with my 2.3 GHz, Intel Core i5 Mac mini which runs Mac OS X 10.7.4. Anyone know how to correct this without having to re-code firmware?

    My first post to the Apple Support Community so it looks like all I wanted to know is covered in the title. The research I have done led me to solutions that I am not comfortable trying for fear of irreparably damaging my keyboard and/or Mac mini. Does anyone have a simpler solution? Please? Hellooooo?
    Just in case the title is too long to show, I have re-pasted here:

    Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to work the above applications. I thought that i had managed to assign the appropriate function keys in Spark to their volume counterparts, but it had no effect. Below is a screen shot. Do you see anything amiss?

  • The wireless keyboard is not working with my iPad2. I turned on Bluetooth and paired it.  What else is there to do?

    The wireless keyboard is not working with my iPad2.  I turned on bluetooth and paired the device.  What other hidden step is there to do?

    Well, the tiny green light comes on and blinks. . . After a frustrating time, I turned everything off.  Later, when I tried the keyboard again, it worked.  I guess the bluetooth process takes longer than expected.  So thank you for taking the time to help a technically impaired person!!
