Keys not responding on wireless keyboard

When I turn my computer on, my keyboard does not respond. I have to re-start the system in order to get it to respond (every time). I have changed the batteries, for the mouse and keyboard. I have moved the keyboard closer to the system, and that has done nothing. Any suggestions?

@Chanda123 ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forum. First thing I would need to know is how does the wireless mouse and keyboard connect to the notebook.
Does it have a USB stick to make the connection?
If it does is there any other issues with the USB port you are using?
If you plug a regular mouse into the same port will it respond?
Please post back with as much information you can and include what kind of wireless mouse and keyboard you are using.
Thank you again and have a great day.
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.

Media Keys Not Working - Apple Wireless Keyboard - Snow Leopard 10.6

Hello, I am a new user to this Support Area and i tried calling but as its Christmas Day i cant get through because there closed so i decided to join here.
Ok basically my problem is that i have a iMac and i recently installed Snow Leopard and on Christmas Day i got a Wireless Apple Keyboard i set it up all went well and got through all the bluetooth process fine except when i went to try use the Media Keys which are Brightness Up/Down, Volume Control, Play/Pause/FastForward and the other two don't know what there called tho when i press any of them they dont work when i press F12 which has a picture of Volume Up it goes to my Widgets thing and when i press F11 which is Volume Down it moves all the current apps out of the desktop like a clearing space function.
I Really would like to have the Media Keys back to how there supposed to be i don't know why it is doing this but i think its Snow Leopard.I Have tried everything possible in System Prefs even removed the keyboard from the Bluetooth paired devices and re paired it but still nothing. It would be mostly appreciated if one you guys could help me soon..
Thanks Sean

Wow! I am in the exact same situation. I don't think it is Snow Leopard tho b/c when I plug my old keyboard back in the media keys work fine. It might have to do with the apple aluminum keyboard 2.0 update but when I try to download that it says my system is unable to support it (eben tho it only requires at least 10.5.8).
If you find a solution let me know.

Volume keys not working on wireless keyboard

Hi guys!
My f10-11-12 keys are not working for volume purposes. I went into prefereces, keyboard, uncheck/check the "use F1, F2... blahblah" and the problem is still there.
I am using a macbookpro 13" 10.6.6.
By the way, if I try to do the same in the built-in macbookpro keyboard it works
This post did not help either https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2298682?start=0&tstart=0
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for asnwering... Yes, of course I have tried because is how it works
It could be that fn key does not work, but it isnt since If I uncheck the box "use fn key for f1 f2 standar.." the volume keys still not working.

IMac A1311 does not respond to any keyboard or mouse

Hello,
My iMac A1311 does not respond to any keyboard or mouse.
I can restart it. It starts without a problem, but I can't enter my account password or move the cursor.
I have tried using four different keyboards including the original bluetooth keyboard and mouse, an Apple wired keyboard, a generic wired keyboard and a wireless keyboard. I also tried resetting PRAM as well as NVRAM. I even tried to start it in Target Mode and tried to start it with a start-up disk (The disk remained inside the computer). Unfortunately, it all seems to originate with the same problem. The computer does not recognize the mouse or the keyboard. I believe I could rule out a problem with the USB port since the original keyboard/mouse uses Bluetooth.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance...

Is this a wake from sleep problem, or after only after a restart?
If it is a 'wake from sleep' issue then since some point in OS X 10.6.x, through 10.7 and 10.8, some users (me included) seem to have the occasional problem with the Mac being unresponsive to any commands from the keyboard/mouse/trackpad, and the issue seems to be something to do with Bluetooth not fully waking from sleep.
The 'fix' that works for me 100% of the time is to go to System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'.
I keep hoping that an OS software update will come up with a 'proper' fix.

10.4.11 Policy Key Not Responding

I opened my activity monitor to check on a current process then noticed in red, Policy Key Not Responding. It had 4 hangs as well. I have repaired disk permissions and that is about it. My question is, is there a security problem of some sort when my Policy Key is not responding and secondly how can i fix this. Thanks for the help.

Here is what is listed when I check the info from the process. Its parent process is called Window Server 64. Not sure what any of the below means.

Why F keys not working on wireless Apple keyboard on Mavericks 10.9.1 properly?

Checked the topics about this issue but still haven't found a solution.
The "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys." is unchecked. Tried everything, also to reconnect the device via bluetooth, turned it off etc. but still not working.
One of my Shift keys not working as well (the right one). Ony the volume keys that are working since i have upgraded to Mavericks.
I have the aluminium wireless keyboard with two batteries without numpad (small keyboard).
It is connected to a 27" iMac late 2009.
Thanks for every reply.

Volume and FF keys do not work on wireless keyboard

I replaced a wireless keyboard for my iMac today, and just noticed tonight that when I try to adjust the volume UP, it sends me to widgets, and when I try to adjust the volume DOWN, it dims the desktop behind my open window.
I've tried checking, and unchecking, the box in Preferences>Keyboard>Use all F1, F2, etc. as standard function keys. I've also gone to keyboard shortcuts and disabled F7 to F12. But no volume or rewind/ff etc.
How do I get my volume and rw/ff keys back? Thanks!

Also, I have attempted to submit a repair claim online as I have the Apple Care for the iMac but when I go to enter the Hardware Serial Number of the Keyboard in the Wireless Keyboard repair section, it does not recognize it.
Dustin,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I would recommend entering the computer's serial number not the keyboards. You can locate the computer by clicking the  in the upper left corner of your screen, clicking About this Mac, and where it states the Version click 2x until the serial number appears.
Regards,
Roger

Apple Bluetooth Keyboard : ESC Key not responding

I'm using an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard with many Apple products (MBA, MBP, iPad) and i have a big problem : The ESC key is not responding. Everything else is working on my keyboard except the ESC Key. Do you know how to fix it ?

Hello:
It is, of course, possible that the KB has failed....
Try resetting the PRAM. If that does not help, I think it is time for a new one.

CS2 not responding to certain keyboard keys

I have CS2 with Windows. It has been working perfectly but just recently some of the keys will not respond eg F7 for the layers.
Also when trying to put Text on an image the text shows as a line ---------- but shows what is written in the layers comp. Very annoying as I cannot gauge properly what I want to do.
I'm not sure if it is something I have maybe altered in the set up unbeknowingly.
Can anyone help me?

Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.
If you bought CS2 recently you may have been the victim of a fraud!

Volume Keys Not Responding

I purchased a new wireless keyboard just recently. I have attempted to increase/decrease volume with the function keys at the very top of the keyboard. They have not responded. After thoroughly searching the communities and repeating steps others have followed, I am still not able to use the volume keys. I need help.

you need to reset your SMC... heres the link

Escape key not responding, along with FN keys -Sattelite L300

ok so this has been occuring for a little while, not sure since when, but very recently
basicly, the escape key wont respond to programs, and neither will most of the FN keys, FN F10+F11 work, the LED's light up, but the rest of the FN's do nothing
the escape key responded to a keyboard testing program, it came back as responsive and working, but in programs such as a 3D engine and MSN Messenger, escape refuses to respond and work as it should
it hasnt always been like this, theyve worked before, ive had the laptop since christmas, had to take it back because the wireless card broke

Go to:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
and download the TVAP package for Vista (32bit I assume).
Uninstall the current TVAP in Control Panel -> Programs and Features
Reboot and install the new TVAP
ps. You need to burn the Recovery Discs yourself, ensure you use good quality media to avoid problems.

IPad 3rd generation not working with wireless keyboard.

Hi,
I have recently bought the 3rd generation iPad. I have an apple wireless keyboard as well, but for some reason I can't get the keyboard to pair with the ipad. I have disconnected the keyboard from previous devices so they have now all 'forgotten' the keyboard. And I have read numerous 'discussions', but none of which are relevant to me.
At first, when I was trying to connect them, the keyboard was flashing green twice really fast but was not discoverable. I then turned my MacBook Air on and the keyboard became discoverable on both the ipad and the air. But when I tried to connect the keyboard to the ipad it would do nothing. I then tried to connect it to the air and I got further, but everytime I'd type in the passcode ontot the wireless keyboard, it said there was an error. I then clicked on 'passcode options' or on the macbook air and selected the default password to '0000' instead of randomly generating one. This fixed the problem connecting the keyboard to the air. However, it wasn't fixed with the ipad. The iPad now shows the keyboard as discoverable, even when the mac is off, but when you select the keyboard from the list of bluetooth connections it prompts you to input a random password on the wireless keyboard, however, when you enter the (correct) password it immediately says 'Pairing Unsuccessful - make sure keyboard is turned on, in range and is ready to pair'. No matter what I try I can't seem to get the iPad to accept the password and there is no option on the iPad to use a default password like on the mac.
Is there anyone that knows how to solve this issue.
Thanks
