Keyboard to find artist no longer working?

Since pretty much the dawn of time, I've been able to, from the "Albums" view in iTunes, type in the first few letters of an artist's name and iTunes would go straight there, to that artist's first album.
Ever since updating iTunes a couple of days ago, though, typing a few letters brings me to some other, far-off part of the album list. Is anyone else having this problem, and does anyone know what's going on?

All of the fixes suggested can work with the SMC reset seeming to be the easiest certain correction. I have noticed this is happening less often than a half-year ago so it would lead me to believe that something has improved in the system.

In Browse window, keyboard shortcut to artist no longer works

All of a sudden, in the artist window in list view (or any other view for that matter) when I hit a keyboard letter, it no longer jumps forward to that letter in the list of Artist names.
For example, I used to hit "W" and it would take me to the first of my "W" artists in the window. This stopped working about a few weeks ago, I just upgraded to 7.3.2 and it still doesn't work. Everything else works fine.
Any thoughts? I use this feature all the time, much more so than using the search bar.
Thanks.

Me too!

Arrows to advance to next song doesn't work. Cmd-I on song doesn't show info, but I can select 'Show info' from context menu of selected song. Search field input is normal.
I was thinking it had something to do with Quicksilver; it seems keyboard input in iTunes has stopped working somewhere around the time I installed Quicksilver. I fidgeted around quite a bit with the QS iTunes module settings. QS' iTunes modules wasn't working out for me, so I disabled it. But I'm not 100% sure it's got anything to do with QS at all... However, killing QS does not magically return normal keyboard input to iTunes.
Reinstalling iTunes doesn't help eiter.

Password Keeper Find Function no longer works

I just upgraded to a BlackBerry Curve and was very happy when my Password Keeper just showed up, accepted my old password and had my database. However, the find function no longer works. If I type A, is says no passwords found even though I can see a bunch as soon as I open it. So how does one fix and non-functioning password keeper find function. It is painful trying to get to the ones that start with "Z!"
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try a simple reboot on the device and check again.
With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

HT201365 The keyboard on my phone no long works since ios7 update, I switched phone off to reset why

Keyboard on my phone no longer works since ios7 update. Advice please

Can you be more specific? Not in any application? Like writing an email, entering an address into Safari, sending a text message ...
If you touch a certain spot in those apps, the keyboard should slide up from the bottom.
If still not, what about restarting the phone? Does that help?

Keyboard navigation of iTunes no longer works after upgrade to 11.0.2.25

Since upgrading to the new version of iTunes my Microsoft keyboard no longer controls the iTunes player. Keyboard still works for WMP, Winamp etc.

This was corrected in iTunes 11.0.2.26.

Keyboard Caps Lock Led No Longer Working

I've rarely pressed the caps lock on this keyboard and now the led has stopped working. The computer is barely a year old.

HP Pavilion dv7-1232nr keyboard and track pad no longer work

We purchased our lap top 1-11-09 and have had to already replace the battery in the summer of 2010 and then in October the entire system stopped responding, after determining it was not due to a virus, working with Norton/Comcast, I took the to a computer repair shop 11-29-10 and the technician said that the mouse/track pad and keyboard were not working and would need to be replaced as they no longer were responding, he said this was a common occurrence with HP laptops. He suggested I try to use a plug in mouse and keyboard so that I could use the computer temporarily until I contacted HP about this, I have plugged in a key board and mouse but the computer is still unresponsive. I am very upset about spending $600 plus 7.75% tax on a product less than 2 years ago that appears to be defective and I would like to hear from your consumer affairs department or from someone that handles issues such as this. I need my computer for work/school/ personal use and have had to borrow a computer for the time being as I can not afford a new one and think its ridiculous to have to pay for the parts an labor to replace the defective mouse/track pad and keyboard.

This is a user to user forum, its out of warranty, HP will do nothing for you unfortunately.
I suggest you back up your personal data to an external drive and use the HP recovery to completely reinstall the OS and drivers, see if this cures it.

Keyboard and Tracking pad no longer work

I have had my Macbook pro for about 1.5 years now and last night both the keyboard and keypad suddenly stopped working. When I booted the computer it booted in the normal way but the cursor is always now stuck at the top left of the screen. I can turn the computer on/off and I am able to use an external keyboard and a mouse plugged into the USB ports but cannot get the onboard keyboard/pad to work again.
Is there something obvious which has locked all the keys or is it something more serious?

Did you ever get this resolved? I just pulled my battery, to no avail. Started a few days ago, and restarts solved it. From last night, nothing. External mouse at home worked. Made appt at Genius Bar, but at work today, with external keyboard and mouse plugged in, the keyboard and trackpad started working again, so canceled appointment. Came home, and no go. Unfortunately , I don't have an external keyboard at home (this is being written on an iBook).
Actually, as I type this, I went back to check and it's okay now. Not sure what's going on. Maybe it was the battery in the end, and it took a few seconds for the release in pressure to get the keyboard/trackpad happy again. But, the battery is in now, but for the time being, it's okay.
Did you find a permanent solution to this?
Thanks

Using windows XP. After replacing a bad keyboard apple special keys no longer work with Boot Camp 3.2

My Original keyboard (MB110LL/A) was damaged. I recieved a new keyboard (MB110LL/B) from the Apple Store online. Now none of the special Apple keys, volume up, volume down, eject, etc. work anymore. I have Boot Camp 3.3 installed on Windows XP. Boot Camp 3.3 requires Windows 7. I cannot get a replacement (MB110LL/A) keyboard anywhere.

Adding to the above: I also tried plugging in an Microsoft USB keyboard at the point when Windows freezes at the Windows log-in screen. The keyboard is not recognized and the only way I can leave this screen is to power-off the computer.

Find feature no longer works on Contact List

When I tried to call a person from my contact list, I typed in the first letter of his last name and the only option that I have is to "Add Contact: (insert letter here)". I tried to use the same process for all letters and they all have the same outcome. see below for the steps in process. not insulting any one's intelligence, just making sure I'm clear on the process*. After trying all the letters in the [English] alphabet, I decided to try it again using process stated below, but after adding a brand new "dummy" contact. unfortunately it worked for the dummy contact but still not for the others. the only thing that I have not tried is to delete the facebook application which I believe is the cause. the only reason I have not deleted it is because my wife downloaded the facebook app with no problems.
The following is a complete list of the steps I have taken/
turned power off then back on.
Turned power off then removed battery, replaced after 5 minutes, turned power on, tried steps*
plugged blackberry into computer with blackberry desktop checked for updates.
If anybody knows of how I can fix this short of re-typing my whole list, I would greatly appreciate it.
* Process used;
click on contact list with trackball, type in letter of first or last name using keyboard.

is there nobody that can help me?!

I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening. Instead the site tried to install a new audio player.

Firefox loads, but no longer works. You can't type in the address bar, use help or anything. What do I do?

I can get Firefox to open, but other than that nothing works. It doesn't respond to type or the mouse. In fact, it acts like your keyboard or mouse are no longer working. Which they are.
It was working fine & then it just stopped.
I've tried uninstalling & re-installing. That didn't help, nor did going back to an older version. I even tried using Windows restore point & going back in time. Nothing has helped.
My OS is Vista.
Can anyone help me? Thanks.

I have ipod gen 2 8gb. WHere do I find apps that will work?

Gen2 8gb ipod touch. Is there a way to search for apps that will work on that? I know it is older. Most of the apps I find will no longer work on under iOs 3.0. Looking specifically for apps for calorie counter & book on tape.
thx

No, all you can do is look a at an app that internest yuo and see if it is compatible with your iPod.
BTW, a 2G iPod can go to iOS 4.2.1
To update
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1

Flex 2-15 Keyboard/Trackpad no longer working

Basically the keyboard/trackpad are no longer working for my lapop (Flex 2-15).
Here's the run down of what I know:
1) Function keys still work such as brightness up or down and turning off the screen.
2) In device manager there is the yellow traigle with an exclamation point for the trackpad, but the keyboard driver seems functioning properly.
3) On the mouse driver it says Code 10, timed out.
4) I've tried uninstalling the mouse driver and restarting to see if windows would install automatically, and the driver comes back, but with the same code 10.
5) Touch screen works fine.
6) Running Windows 8.1.
7) Tried restoring from factory settings and the issue is still here.
8) USB mouse and keyboard work perfectly fine.
9) Tried switching modes to see if keyboard/trackpad was disabled, but no luck there either.
Greatly appreciate some help here as this is beyond frustrating since I've only had this laptop for a little over a month and can no longer return it. Also Lenovo doesn't support anything besides hardware and wants $70-140 to troubleshoot this issue.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

They were trying to charge me for a "Software failure" which apparently isn't covered. I'm almost positive it's driver issues of some sort that they needed update seeing as the function keys work on the keyboard but the rest dont because the trackpad doesn't work.
But if they're going to try and charge me for a software issue I might as well get them to replace the keyboard under warrenty just to rule that out. Sucks it's only been a little over a month.
I purchased the laptop from Newegg.com since it was the cheapest I could find. They only do a 30-day refund/replacement unless you paid for extra insurance (which I never do since usually I can figure out most simple laptop issues).
I usually just turn off this laptop as it's not my main one, but one I'm going to lend to my brother. And one day the keyboard was working fine and then the next day I turned it on I had issues. Worked fine for the few weeks leading up to it. I've updated windows a few times, but none of the updates were keyboard related and factory restoring didn't work so I'm at a loss.

KeyBoard is no longer working on my HP Elitebook 8460P

My keyboard no longer works on my 8460p. I'm able to use a usb keyboard and the onscreen keyboard but the onboard keyboard no longer works. My HP motherboard died about two weeks after I got it and HP had it for a month and I just got it back. It would not power up and now it powers up but now the keyboard does not work. I really do not want to send it back in, I want to see if I can fix it myself before sending it back in. I'm wondering if maybe they did not connect something back or something came aloose during shipping. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hi Corey21,
I'm not sure if you found a solution yet to your keyboard issue but I did want to direct you to the board specifically for your computer.
You may find more help for your issue here. This is for HP commercial products like Elitebooks and Probooks.
