Left convenience key problem

No matter how many times I reset it the left convenience key only brings up the phone book. I want the default voice calling. I've tried setting it to several things to see if it was a problem with just the voice calling but no the phone book is all that key will bring up. The other side works fine. I reset it when I first got my 8110 for the alarm feature but recently decided to change back to default. It won't go back to alarm either. TIA

Left shift key problem help please

My left shift key is shifting my open page up out of the way and bringing me to my desktop page. My right key works fine. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Well, not sure about you new-fangled Snow Leopard users, but I'd check the Dashboard & Exposé preference pane in System Preferences and see if the Desktop shortcut is "Left Shift" instead of the normal F11.

Left Convenience Key issue

Hi any assitance appreciated
In Options>Screen/keyboard, Ii set up the L (or R) Convenience key as "Compose"
This should allow a one key press to initiate an SMS
However when I push it and it spawns the response from the BB Storm, it brings up the contact list ok but when I chose a contact - all it does is ask if I want to CALL the contact. It doesnt switch to the text insertion mode so that I can actuially compse a text. In the menu then it asks if I wasnt o call sms or mms the contact.
Any ideas whassup? Or how els one can get a 1 key method of getting to the SMS prog?
TIA

Having a compose shortcut will take to address book to choose a contact so that you can send emails. It will not direct you for making calls or sending SMS text.

Left shortcut key - lock keyboard?

Hello!
After the update I've lost the lock icon (yeah yeah I found out that Play/Pause key is locking keyboard when I hold it). But even the problem was solved (I know how to lock keyboard) I'm having a really bad time with that "new" solution. How I can put to the left shortcut key the keyboard locking? Please help!

You can set your left convenience key to Password Lock if you enable a device password. Setting a convenience key as keyboard lock is not available in new versions of BlackBerry Device Software. See the following article for more information: http://bbry.lv/bd4PN4

Left arrow key -- probably a stupid question.

In some applications my left arrow key doesn't work. I've noticed it most in Word for mac, but I know it has happened elsewere, too. And in safari the left arrow key tabs often functions like tab. I'm new to Mac (and just getting used to fn + delete to delete forward). Is this another key combination thing I'm missing? I've discovered using Word that fn + <-- is "home," and that works just fine.
Thanks!

I have this exact same problem. Has anyone found a fix. I called Apple Care and they said it was not a hardware problem, as this left arrow key problem only happens in Word. They also could not find a fix to the problem and, of course, referred me to Microsoft. I had already spoken with Microsoft and they, of course, referred me to Apple. I am desperately trying to a fix, as I use Word to write upwards of 100 page reports and not being able to use the left arrow key is a nightmare.
Please someone help.

Help! Left shift key not working!

all of a sudden today my left shift key has ceased to work. the right key works fine, increasing the chance that it's hardware. I'd like to remove the key cap and see if re-seating it might fix it. I've looked in many places on how to remove it, but no luck. Is there a web site that shows how it's done for a G4 Aluminum? Thanks in advance.

Marco,
I've been having intermittent left shift key problems for several months. My laptop is now 3 days out of Warranty, Apple web site says so. Anyway, the only reliable fix I've found is to do a re-boot. I can also (sometimes) get reliable shifting if I slide my finger closer to the outer edge - meaning, no shift if pressed on one side of the key, sometimes shift on the other side.
I've also had success shifting in one application which seemed to "clear" the problem in the original application. Example: typing in Mail when left shift key stops working. Switch to MS Word, shift works fine. Switch back to Mail, shift works fine.
I have a feeling it's a combination of software and slowly failing hardware. I feel bad to have waited until after the warranty period, and now the problem is getting worse. My wife was just in for brain surgery, so you can't really blame me! She's doing fine.
So, my suggestion is to try rebooting to see if that clears a memory buffer problem. Kinda annoying, maybe a future software update will fix the software problem?

Getting IM+Talk to work - convenience key

Good day,
I have loaded IM+Talk and in order for me to transmit voice, it requests that the "left convenience key" be pressed. There is no left convenience key to press.
Skype connects, and I can hear the other party, but cannot transmit voice.
If I go to options to assign an action to the convenience key (situated on the right), it seems that the convenience key only opens applications such as camera (default action).
Question is - how do I then transmit voice using IM+Talk?
Appreciate your feedback.
Jean

CmdfnF5 (or just Cmd+F5 if your keyboard is set to use the F keys as F keys instead of vol controls etc.)
Can also be set from System Preferences > Universal Access

Problem with left parenthesis key

I have had a problem with the left parenthesis key, when I hit shift to use it, it does not work. The right one works fine. I have noticed this problem since I got my Mac Book Pro which has been about 3 months. I know I can take it in to have the problem resolved, but if there is a quick fix out there I can do myself that would be great. Also I have a blue tooth mac keyboard and the problem exist when using it as well.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, John

I also forgot to mention that using the 9 works fine.

Left shift key is a problem

This is what I get on a page when the bottom row of keys are pressed in sequence from left to right:
No shift keys used: zxcvbnm,./
RIGHT SHIFT KEY USED: ZXCVBNM<>?
LEFT SHIFT KEY USED: BN
In other words, when I use the left shift key, the letters Z, X, C, V, M, <, >, and ? don't appear at all. What is causing this?

I have two last things to try. The first is a hard reset. The instructions for that are here: Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset
If that doesn't help, the last option is to try to restore your BIOS. The instructions are here: Restoring the BIOS
If that fails, it will most likely be a hardware issue. I am not certain of your warranty coverage, you can find that information from support, as well as your repair options.
Alternatively, you might be able to look your warranty status up here: Check your product warranty

Hello lillibitt67
To rule out any Software issue I prefer you should Reload your Device Software and see if that helps otherwise you need to contact your Service provider for repair.So please try it first.

How do I fix my left shift key? Any open windows leave and make the desktop visible.

How do I fix my left shift key? Any open windows leave and make the desktop visible. I have tired to go into system preferences and reset all of the keyboard settings to default but the issue hasn't gone away.

You are not running as administrator, I think, which may be required and the only way to properly work and register. Also check for compatibility mode settings, UAC and DEP, all of which may require to be adjusted for a legacy app like PS CS2 to run properly. Also turn off Aero and switch to a conventional visual theme. The brush issue may be related to that or is a more generic problem with your graphics card and mouse config, but since you didn't provide any info on that, it will be hard for anyone to advise.

Left shift key doesn't work on some characters

In some applications, such as Excel and AOL, my left shift key doesn't work on some letters. Consequently, when I'm typing I get lower case letters when I've typed shift plus the letter to get a cap. Right shift works OK, but I'm not used to using it. It happens on i, t, and p, I've noticed so far. I don't know if it's the keyboard or the application. Word seems to work fine.
Would welcome any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it.

Is it possible that you have inadvertently switched to a different keyboard layout? Open System Preferences, then click on the Language & Text preferences. Within the Language & Text preferences click on the 'Input Sources'. You should see a long list of languages representing the various keyboard layouts that are available. Make sure that only the keyboard language you use is selected. If there are multiple languages selected then de-select the extras.
If you continue to have problems then check the 'Show input menu in menu bar' checkbox in the lower section of the preference pane. This will place an icon in the upper right menu bar (it looks like a flag representing the language you have chosen for your input device) that provides additional options. I suggest selecing the 'Show Keyboard Viewer' option and then try pressing the keys that you are having problems with to see how they show up on the keyboard viewer graphic. If you've set the correct language for your keyboard and the key sequences still don't match, then you may need to take your keyboard in for service. Better yet, borrow another keyboard to confirm that the keyboard is the issue.
