Left side of keyboard won't work, right side isn't right

Whole left side of MacBook Pro not working at all and right side shows symbols but not the correct ones. Trackpad works fine and top row of keys works all the way across - light, sound, etc. did not spill anything on it. Was working just fine before.

I dont want to shut down because if I do and it doesn't fix the issue I won't be able to log back in. I am running 10.5.8

  • Updated laptop, now keyboard won't work. (G585)

    Laptop is a few weeks old and I've only just got around to registering it. I couldn't register it until it had an update.
    I've downloaded the update and now the keyboard won't work.
    I can use keys to increase/decrease brightness of the screen, but nothing else.
    I've already tried holding down the power button for 10 seconds, it's just made loading times worse.
    Thanks for any help

    hi VeeBee15,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    If you ran Windows Update and you get the issues on the keyboard can, you try to:
    1. Disable Filter Keys (see this thread)
    2. Boot into Safe Mode and see if the keyboard works. If the keyboard doesn't work, perform a System Restore in Safe Mode.
    3. If System Restore doesn't work, perform a full factory restore by pressing the OneKey Recovery button.
    Hope this helps

  • My wireless keyboard won't work for one of the users

    All of a sudden the wireless keyboard stopped working for me, but it works when my wife logs in.  I had to create a new account for myself and the keyboard now works.  However, the keyboard won't work for my original account. Any thoughts?

    Does it shows up as a device in your BT menu under the problematic user? Does it connect? If you delete it from your admin account and re-pair it, does it work?
    There is a command called ioreg, which can help as well.
    Here is sample output from ioreg -lw0 | grep -i keyboard

  • I have an ipod 2g , The keyboard won't work! Or at least some of it's letters and numbers won't. please help i'm stuck with emojis

    i have an ippd touch 2g , a part of my keyboard won't work , i can type letters but i can't type numbers . please help i'm stuck with emojis keyboard

    Try restarting the iPod by holding down the lock and home button together and then slide the power button to turn it off and then wait 10 seconds and start it up again. If it is not a reset issue then it may be a hardware issue. Is your iPod damaged or have you dropped it recently? If it is a hardware problem then you may not be able to fix it. If your iPod has multitasking options like the new iOS devices, close out the app and then try again, it should reset your device to letters instead of emojis.

  • My macbook pro keyboard won't work or respond at all, other than that everything is working properly.

    I have a macbook pro (i7) 13'', everything was working properly, but out of a sudden the keyboard is dead & won't respond to anything, now I can't login. I restarted it many times but still the same problem. Any suggestions??!!! help me out plssss.
    Thanks so much..

    I just went through something with my MacBook Pro 13" where I was using a USB mouse and a MIDI keyboard. I left the computer for a while and it went into sleep mode and when I came back to it, the machine was very slow to respond. I shut out of everything and rebooted only to find that neither my built-in trackpad or keyboard was working anymore. I plugged in my USB mouse and that worked, and then a USB keyboard and that worked, but no signal from my built-in peripherals.
    I ran a disc repair, cleaned out everything I could, updated all software, etc. etc. -- nothing... until finally I read something about how Java can cause a problem. I then went into my advanced settings and deleted everything in Java and Flash security. Also making it very difficult for those two applications to save anything to my machine. Once I rebooted my keyboard and trackpad were fullly functional again.
    Wanted to share this because it was such an unintuitive fix but my computer is back at full speed again.

  • Just upgraded to leopard and now new keyboard won't work

    I just upgraded my system to Leopard, and everything went smoothly. When I installed I had my old keyboard attached as I didn't want anything to got wrong. Now since trying to use the new white key Mac keyboard that is out now, it won't work. I tried to go into preferences under keyboard and mouse but there was no choice there to change keyboard. What can I do?

    Apple's download search function is pretty messed so that may not be the right file. The one that Software Update offered for my MacBook Pro when I had the Al board attached is "Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update" and is v1.0. It was in my Utilities folder.
    I had to Google to find the other link, but it's here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/AluminumKeyboard_Firmware_Update_10
    See if that helps. It looks like this and Leo go together, so could explain why you the board doesn't like the change.

  • My Macbook keyboard won't work and the computer is shutting down at random. Any advice?

    I have a Macbook that is approximately 2 years old. It had water spilt on it but since then everything else is working fine.
    The keyboard won't type at all, it did on the original start up after the water damage was assessed within the computer's shell. Now not at all. I'm using a USB keyboard for the time being.
    Also, it shuts itself off at random. There is a dull click and the screen goes black, then when you attempt to restart it it loads a little and then it clicks and screen goes black again.
    Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hello Rach Ryan
    First I would try closing the app from multitasking and then launching it again. To do that, double tap the Home button and then swipe up on the app to close it completely. If that does not work, then I would restart your iPhone.

  • My daughters bluetooth keyboard won't work with voiceover since upgrading to iOS 8.1 - how can i fix this?

    My daughter has a Greatshield bluetooth keyboard which she has been using successfully in school with her iPad mini. she is blind and uses voiceover to navigate and to have what she has typed read back to her.
    Since updating to iOS 8.1 the keyboard no longer works when voiceover is on but does when voiceover if off. My daughter is not able to use it without voiceover.
    Any suggestions?

              Was in the Apple Stor this morning in Indianapolis and picked up a Bluetooth keyboard to use with my iPad mini 2. Sadly neither I nor staff could get it to work with voiceover working. The staff, both sales and tech, appeared as shocked as I was. I was surprised that over 6 months Apple had not fixed this issue. Now I am wasting my time trying to back up reports of this problem on Apple's website. I know Apple over the last 10 years had given a lot of us so many advancements, but maybe that's changing? All I know is that as a busy professional, Apple has cost me about 4 hours of lost productivity today. I wish I could charge them for it!       

  • Tried to install foo2zjs and now PS/2 mouse and keyboard won't work

    I was trying to install the foo2zjs tarball from their website and after doing so, I lost the usage of my PS/2 mouse and keyboard in X.
    The keyboard works fine outside of X, but once X starts, it can't see it. Other input devices are working fine, like my USB game controller.
    I deleted all the /etc/X11 and /etc/xinited* files and removed xorg xorg-drivers and reinstalled them and no hope.
    The keyboard and mouse were being detected automatically, and I never had to edit anything for them to work, so why are they not working now?
    I even removed foo2zjs and disabled the CUPS daemon and still no hope.
    Any idea how I can debug this any further?

    Turns out it was this problem https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117274, I must've upgraded udev while installing the printer driver.
    Unplugging and replugging my keyboard made it work, but not the mouse. Maybe because it's the PS/2 thing. Anyway, downgrading the two packages solved the two issues.

  • External keyboard won't work on DM4 laptop

    I have a Pavilion DM4 with Windows 7. Trying to connect an external keyboard that has a PS/2 cable end using adapter to USB plug. Keyboard doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

    Did you install drivers for your USB mouse? Those drivers may have conflicted with the standard keyboard drivers.
    Boot up into safe mode (press F5 as soon as Windows starts to boot) and check the keyboard device in Device Manager. It should be a 'Standard 101/102 key or Microsoft Natural Keyboard'. If its something else, remove it and let Windows install the default driver above.
    Go into Add/Remove Programs and remove the USB Mouse software you installed previously (if applicable), the reboot into Normal Mode and see how that goes.

  • Keyboard won't work after  attempted 2.1 install

    I have XPSP2 installed on its on HD. I used Boot Camp Beta. When I upgraded to Leopard I installed BC 2.0 and everything worked perfectly. When BC 2.1 was announced, I made sure all firmware and other upgrades were in order and then ran the upgrade as an exe from the desktop. I got error messages concerning the apple keyboard (standard Mac). Subsequent to installation the keyboard would not work at all and Device Manager stated the keyboard drivers were not installed. After several failed attempts, I uninstalled 2.1 and attempted to reinstall 2.0 from the Leopard disc. The keyboard still does not work and Device Manager shows drivers not installed. I tried installing 2.0 and 2.1 in Safe Mode and I can't. I tried to repair the existing XP using the the install disc and that causes an error message. I am at a loss as to what to do.
    Help

    I have a similar issue. I updated to 7.1.2 last night. Now my Bluetooth audio doesn't work.
    The iPhone appears to be paired with my Bluetooth enabled car stereo, but will not play any music.
    Initially the stereo said 'Bluetooth connection failed' but then I disconnected and re-paired; now both the stereo and iPhone say 'connected' but still no audio.
    If I press play on the phone or stereo, there's no response.
    I can confirm that my Bluetooth keyboard pairs fine and I can type, change the brightness and volume but I cannot pause or play music.
    My guess is that there was a change to the iOS Bluetooth Audio functionality. One that's introduced an incompatibility with one or several of the Bluetooth audio profiles: iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles
