Lock keyboard

I recently updated the BB operating system and am now using v4.5.0.77. Up until I updated, I could lock the keyboard by hitting alt then enter. Since I updated, I cannot lock the keyboard this way.
Does anyone know how to lock the keyboard another way?
Solved!

In OS 4.5.0.89 there's an icon to lock keyboard maybe yours is hidden? Looks like a padlock on my neoberry theme am assuming it would be similar in most other themes...

  • Caps lock keyboard no sound

    I am a novice trying to learn Logic Pro 9. I have been following the initial instructions using Exploring Logic Pro. I am at the very begining and have been instructed to load cap lock keyboard after placing a software instrument. I click on a keynote but get no sound. I have looked elsewhere and have tried a suggestion to make sure that in Logic preferences//Audio and use I/built in output and built in input and to change buffer from 256 to 128. Still no sound. Any suggestions?

  • MIDI note delay / stagger using Caps Lock keyboard and 3rd party plugins

    Whenever I am using any of the following plugins:
    Waldorf PPG Wave, Waldorf D-Pole or Audio Damage Reverence,
    with the respective plugin windows open, I can hit several notes on the Caps Lock keyboard simultaneously and some of them will trigger after the rest.
    Interestingly, Reverence and D-Pole are effects, and so placing them on any audio instrument, including those that came with Logic, causes them to behave as PPG Wave always does when its plugin window is open.
    The delay time seems to be variable.
    When the plugin windows are closed, there is no delay.
    As well, triggering many notes at once or notes in quick succession seems to cause things to stagger up more.
    Sometimes the MIDI notes get stuck and continue playing until they are pushed again.
    This seems strange to me, as CPU usage on the plugins is extremely low (the CPU meter does not even register a single mark).
    The problem does NOT occur if I draw out a MIDI sequence that does precisely the sort of things that cause the holdups when I am using the Caps Lock keyboard.
    Is the Caps Lock keyboard just not very good at certain things?
    Why would this problem occur only with these specific plugins?
    None of Logic's included plugins have this problem (unless of course I stick Reverence or D-Pole on them as an insert and open the Reverence window).
    Naturally this is an inconvenience that can be worked around, but it is annoying.
    Thanks for your time.

    Hey Rob,
    I opened up the Activity Monitor, and CPU usage in Logic Express is 35-40% with the plugin window open and between 16-20% with it closed.
    That doesn't seem to be it, but your suggestion that the Caps Lock keyboard is probably just not good at handling many notes at once is definitely correct.
    I plugged in a MIDI keyboard and the CPU usage is the same, but there is no staggering problem.
    Perhaps there is something off with the CPU meter in Logic Express 7, though.
    The Audio side registers activity, but the CPU side says nothing, when clearly the Activity Monitor has it right.
    Anyway, thank you for answering my question--it is sort of an annoying little problem, but I just won't play fast with Caps Lock, I suppose.

  • Lock keyboard & Mouse

    The lock keyboard and mouse option is not available when I am remote
    controlling users PCs . All the correct options are turned on . Any one
    any ideas? Thanks for any replies.

    You did not give much detail, so I will just review a couple
    things.............
    1) Normally this is set via a Remote Control Policy. Check both User and WS
    Remote Control policies to make sure neither prohibits this.
    2) If the workstations are not imported, there is an INI file in the Agent
    directory on the PC that controls this.
    (I don't recall off the top of my head, but if you need help with this let
    me know. I use this method for one client.)

  • 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

  • Caps lock keyboard problem

    hi
    when i try to use caps lock keyboard..eg by pressing caps lock, and you get that thing where you can play midi notes with your qwerty keyboard.
    when i press one qwerty key, no sound, i only get sound when i keep one key pressed, and then press another. have tried with diff instruments, same problem.
    is this a setting i have set by mistake?
    i do recall playing about with my uc33 controller and possibly messed up the midi settings. not sure.
    can anyone help?
    thankyou

    can someone help please?
    I opened up a new song, blank, and the caps lock keyboard worked fine.
    seems to be a problem with older songs, which leads me to think maybe its a setting i have changed, ie when playing with uc33 midi contoller.
    thankyou

  • Caps Lock Keyboard Question

    How do you keep the caps lock keyboard from adding piano sound sample to loaded plug-in sounds in tracks?
    When I use the caps lock feature, I get a "generic" piano sound no matter what type of track is selected. I would like to restrict the output to loaded instruments in instrument tracks, but the piano always sounds along with them. Is there any way to disable this, i.e. silence the piano?
    Thanks in advance.
    MS

    You're doing something wrong with your MIDI routing.
    The caps lock keyboard simply sends a note to Logic, which gets passed through the environment and onto the selected track, rechannelised accordingly and sent to the instrument assigned to that track - exactly the same way other MIDI data is processed.
    Check your environment cabling/routing, or the instrument you have selected.
    If you don't know where to look, try opening a new fresh song (not one of your templates) by option-clicking on File -> New and trying the caps lock keyboard in that song..

  • Caps Lock Keyboard

    PROBLEM:
    When i am using my caps lock keyboard i will play the bass drum where it is SUPPOSED to be and it wont sound. So i change the octave and so that it will sound. Then on playback it will play it back an octave higher. so instead of getting a bass drum i will get a tom or something else.
    I have restarted LE7 and i have restarted my computer and even shut it down for 8 hours, came back, and it is still doing the same thing.
    G4 Powerbook 1.4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    i can record my guitar and here it during both recording and playback. im using an onkyo usb preamp. its compatible with LE7 as it automatically recognized it.
    Oh and thanks for the tip about opening drum kits, i usually just click inserts and go to garageband instruments but that exs24imlo-87645-op-zyut-a-1 works a whole lot better.
    Also the more i play the song the more the drums start altering themselves. Like where i had the bass line it is now and octave lower. Ive went through the key commands thoroughly and tried to find some type of hotkey that i could have pressed on accident but alas, no solution.

  • Caps lock keyboard can't be hidden now?

    Looks like the option to hide the annoying and useless caps lock keyboard has been taken away. Why would they do that? It's always in the way, and you really don't need to see it after the first or second time you use it.
    Am I wrong, has that option just moved somewhere else? It just seems so ridiculous to take that away.

    Huh?
    But then obviously you can't use the caps lock keyboard.
    I'm talking about actually using the caps lock keyboard and not having it show. In Logic 7 there was an option to have it hidden when caps lock was engaged.

  • Caps Lock Keyboard having issues with certain notes and chords

    Hi,
    I'm hoping someone can help me with a weird issue when I'm using the caps lock keyboard on my macbook pro (running 10.6.2) with logic 8.
    When I play certain chords, 1 or 2 of the notes don't sound.
    It's almost like I'm having limited polyphony but in a random way.
    It's happening on any instrument or plugin.
    Sometimes only 3 of 4 notes are ringing out, sometimes 2 of 4, sometimes I can play a big 6 note chord and no notes drop out.
    It's not the same note dropping out in multiple chords when it happens, sometimes in one chord a note won't ring out but in a different chord that same note will play fine.
    But it's the same chords that give me the same issues every time.
    I've already trashed the prefs file (com.apple.logic.pro.cs)
    This only happens on my macbook pro on the internal keyboard. It doesn't happen on my desktop mac nor does it happen when I use an external keyboard on the macbook pro.
    My Macbook Pro's keyboard functions fine in every other way.
    Any Ideas? It's really driving me crazy.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    There is a limit to the keyboard response in hardware - it's got better, but in older machines the keyboard processor could only handle about two or three key presses at once.
    A qwerty keyboard is not a musical instrument - you cannot guarantee a decent, or quick response - I'd suggest you get a real keyboard if you are writing a piano concerto....

  • Caps Lock Keyboard "G" key causes hanging notes

    When I use Logic Pro 8s Caps Lock Keyboard the "G" key causes hanging notes. The only way I've found to end the hanging note is to start and stop the sequencer. This behaviour happens when auditioning instrument sounds and in Record or Record Ready mode.
    It's not a mechanical problem, as the "G" key doesn't cause multiple entries in text documents etc when pressed and released quickly. It only seems to be misbehaving inside of Logic itself, when using the Caps Lock Keyboard.
    Is anyone else having this trouble?
    Does anyone know why it happens and/or how to fix it?

    can someone help please?

  • Caps Lock Keyboard- Change default octave?

    I'm surprised I didn't find a spot in the Preferences to choose which octave you want as default for the Caps Lock Keyboard. I know how to change it manually with the number keys, but since I'm usually messing with drums, I'd rather it default to Octave 1.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    45,
    Thanks for weighing in. I suppose that Keyboard Maestro could pull it off, but on the other hand, if there is no actual pref for this, I can get used to using the number keys to change octaves (I'll have to hit one or two keys either way).
    I wonder what the rational was for the default of Octave 2? Drums are typically Octave 1 and many other general presets default around Octave 3. Anyway, I can stop looking for a pref setting that isn't there.
    Thanks again,
    Dave
