Mac pro left shift button not working...

Hello my mac pro left shift button is not working what would be the problem, is it the major or minor problem plz help me...

Mac Pros are desktop, MacBook Pros are notebooks.    There are usually two shift keys.  Have you tried both?
Have you made sure the Caps Lock key is not enabled? Have you made sure the Num Lock key is not enabled (clicking either will disable them if they are enabled).   Speech recognition can make a key give an alternative command if you set that up, try disabling speech recognition to see if that's the problem, or one of the Universal Access settings can do the same.  Go to Apple menu  -> System Preferences to manage those.

  • 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?

  • 3 letters + left shift key not working - 2 of them + right shift key working

    Hi all,
    as in subject, I have just bought a laptop g50-45, italian keyboard.
    I encountered this problem:
    "LEFT shift key" + "e" or "d" or "c" combinations do not work. Nothing happens.
    "RIGHT shift key" + "e" or "d" work properly
    "RIGHT shift key" + "c" do not work. Nothing happens
    CAPS key + "e" or "d" or "c" work properly.
    I noticed this issue before making any updates of  windows 8.1
    I tried making an update of the bios and later updating windows but the problem is still there.
    I check with an external keyboard and everything work correctly
    I don't think it could be a mechanical problem because "e", "d" and "c" keys alone work properly, so it seems more a software side problem.
    Thank you for your help.

  • If Ctrl+Alt+Shift buttons not working to reset your adobe photoshop cs5.1 preference to default

    How to reset Photoshop preferences (In Windows):
    First, hold down all three Ctrl+Alt+Shift buttons
    Now "while keeping those button held," simply open Photoshop or a file that opens with Photoshop
    As Photoshop loads, you should get a prompt asking if you would like to "delete the Photoshop settings file", Click yes
    You should now have a fresh slate with all of the settings returned to their default.
    Its strange some keyboard cannot reset photoshop after  you press  Ctrl + Alt + Shift buttons.
    And its no pop up to confirm delete
    At finally i found the problems is type of my keyboard not compatible with photoshop
    i changed my old keyboard immediately and its works!!
    If you have problems with Ctrl + Alt + Shift buttons cannot reset your adobe photoshop cs5 preference  , please do change your type of your  keyboard to new keyboard

  • Left click button not working on mouse

    Using an HP Pavillion g series notebook with windows 7 and all of a sudden my HP wireless mouse left click button doesn't work. checked to see if it was clean, changed the battery too.  Right click buttonis working as left click now. Driver software is upto date.  Only 2 years old with light use.  What's up?

    I also get what looks like tiny barcodes to the top right of my mouse pointer.
    That is usually a software corruption problem.
    Disk Utility ( Repair Disk ) is a good place to start.

  • Mac Pro 2014 USB Keyboard not working for log-in.

    I have a Mac Pro 2014 with two thunderbolt displays and an apple USB keyboard.  Whenever I boot up the computer the keyboard doesn't seem to work at first.  Often I get hung up on the log-in screen pushing keys to no effect until the bluetooth keyboard dialog comes up.  Then after that sits fruitlessly looking for a non-existent keyboard for about 30sec the USB keyboard will start to work.  In total I'd say this delays logging in by about a minute.  During this whole time the USB mouse and Wacom tablet work.  After logging in everything works fine.
    Also this might be related, if the computer goes to sleep it can take several attempts to wake it up before I'll get a login screen.

    Mine was also fresh out of the box. My reseller in Iceland could verify this and this was the solution. I first thought it was the Icelandic keyboard. Reported it as bug.

  • Yosemite update to Mac pro keyboard and mouse not working anymore

    Updated to Yosemite on my Mac pro, worked perfect for about 2 weeks then my keyboard and mouse stopped responding, both keyboard and mouse were replaced and still won't work. The computer turns on but won't respond to the USB mouse &Keyboard. Help

    I have seen 2 out of the 6 mac pro's in my office do this. I am about to go to the apple store to show them.
    When the computer is doing this I have tried using every wired apple keyboard in my office and none of them work. If I try the same keyboards on a windows computer or my macbook they work fine. If I use any non apple usb keyboard they work fine. My problem is if I turn the computer off for a few hours the usb apple keyboard works again so when the computer has been off all night and I pack it up to take it to applecare it is working by the time I get into the store.
    I think there is a small flaw in usb port on the mac pro or the apple keyboard that when heated up from use stops the pins from contacting completely. It might be a manufacturing defect and it might be an unintended problem caused by how apple slightly modifies their USB ports.

  • Macbook Pro left CTRL key not working

    I woke my Macbook pro from sleep this morning and now the left ctl and shift keys aren't working. They were working fine last night, I was using both keys for photoshop, but now nothing. I've tried remapping the CTRL key to fn using KeyRemap4Macbook, but it doesn't work, even a restart. System Preferences doesn't show any change in keyboard layout or mapping. Has anyone else had this problem? The Macbook wasn't moved last night, nothing new was plugged in, and no liquids were anywhere near it. It's an i7 2.3 with 8gb ram, running Mountain Lion 10.8.2, thanks

    Thanks for your reply Peter. I restored defaults, and restarted twice, but still nothing. Both keys work on an external keyboard, so I think that it's a mechanical fault. I'll send it back next week when this job has finished- let's hope that it's not part fo a faulty batch.
