Messed Up Keyboard Mapping, not an Software Issue

Greetings Folks!
I've been having a strange problem with my keyboard; the keyboard mapping is all messed up!
I was writing a piece of work this afternoon, and had to go out for couple of hours. I put my Macbook Pro into sleep and gone out. When I returned, I seemed to having problem logging in again. Tried to log in to guest account, all worked normal. I did some trials, apparently my keyboard mapping got screwed. All keys are working but all address strange letters, like Kyrilic or Scandinavian letters. Function keys are OK, I can adjust the brightness, etc, touchpad is fine, but no text.
I'm practically locked out of my account. Only one thing is the extreme slowness of stacks. It takes forever icons to pop out, everything else seems fine. All software work, everything is OK, and local keyboard mapping settings seems fine.
Any suggestions?

Yeah, keyboard is messed up, it was an hardware issue.
I've stopped by in my Apple Store and told them about the problem. They were very kind, and I handed my Macbook Pro over. The have examined it, and delivered to me shortly. According to the service document, one of the function keys struck somehow, altering the whole mapping of keyboard. They have changed it, and my Mac runs like new.
Thanks for tips mate.

My very new MBP 13" freezes. Not a software issue.

Hey,
My brand new MBP (Lion) has a great time for a while, but then freezes with three alarms sounding.    (see pic - I also have video if people want to see.)
The Apple Care people "have not heard of such a thing", have been very helpful, but believing it to be a software compatibility problem, have given me some assorted solutions to try. They mean well.
I run Adobe CS5.5, Filemaker Pro 11, Microsoft Office 2011 and Firefox.
I have deleted StartUp items, (same result), in fact, almost every day I have had the computer home, this has happened.
I have backed up with Time Machine and erased the entire HD, downloaded and clean installed Lion.   Three and a bit Gig later, the same thing has happened, with no software installed except the Lion system software.
This is clearly NOT a software issue and I need a solution very soon. My company purchased this interstate.

That's the strange thing.   Trying to run the Apple Hardware Test after a reboot with 'D' pressed and it ignores the request.
Solution found.    It was bad RAM chips.
Chadstone Apple Store in Melbourne replaced the chips and turned it around for me in under 20 minutes.
Very impressed.   Running like a trooper now.   Thanks Apple. Confidence restored.

Keyboard and trackpad unresponsive - software issue

Hey guys, first time on the forum but I have quite a severe problem.
After a forced shutdown (stupid I know) when I try to use my MacBook the keyboard and mouse are unresponsive (even the caps lock light doesn't work). I know this to be a software issue because I tried using a Linux boot disk to rescue my data, however I couldn't find the HD using this method. I have also tried using a USB mouse but again to no avail. Does anyone have a fix? If not any way to backup my data before trying to reinstall leopard? (I am running the latest leopard update).
Thank guys.

I am having a similar problem, all except i didn't force shut down. i cant backtrack to the ver. from my install disk because i cant open it due to the fact my mouse and keyboard don't work. i've tried a usb key/mouse combo and they don't work either. any suggestions would be appreciated

Keyboard mapping not working well

Hi,
I have this weird problem. My keyboard starting typing junk characters (the ones which comes after pressing option key).
Apple tech guys told me that my keyboard needs to be replaced and I replaced it but still the same problem.
Please refer the keyboard viewer screenshot below to see the way my keyboard looks and types in these characters.
After doing some research I found a software called "Karabiner". The moment I load this app .. everything is back to normal.
I can type is all normally and no bad characters.
The problem comes back in when I try to restart my mac and then again I cannot type in my password field as it types in junk characters in the password field. And since Karabiner cannot be started before login I get stuck ..,... Can anyone help me as what exactly my problem is and how to rectify this ?
Any help in any direction will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Zuzar L.

I'm having a lot of issues with my ipad Mini as well, mostly keyboard related.
There is a fix that was posted elswhere on this forum that seems to have helped me (although I have other issues surface)
I don't have the link handy but basically you:
1. dock the keyboard (hold down the keyboard icon when it is up - bottom right - and select dock)
2. Reboot the unit (hold down HOME + POWER until the apple logo comes up)
That apparently fixes it.
However, I'm also have issues where I press a key and another key depresses which is across the screen. If I hold down that keyboard icon, for example, the space bar goes nuts and depresses repeatedly, and then siri kicks in.
Split keyboard, at times, also seems to be ignored and covers up text (it doesn't scroll up).
Othertimes, when I am typing, a spot on the other end of the mini gets depressed. This is either a keyboard issue or a touch-screen issues. Either way, it's a problem.
Anyone else having keyboard / touch screen issues?

Blqack screen, no chime and it's not a video issue

Hi, I got a big problem and I will like to know what your thinking about.
When I try to open my Intel-Based IMac, there's no video. The screen is black but the light came on and the drive and the fan make a sound. The keyboard and the mouse doesnt work and the computer doesnt make a chime.
I tried to find some info on the website of apple
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300537
but it's not the same problem. The fan and the drive is working but I dont have the chime. Then it's not only a video issue, it's not only the display who is not working because the mouse and the keyboard doesn't work and the chime didn't came on.
It's the second time it do that. I didn't install a new software for the last week. The fist time, the technical support told me it was probably a software issue. After a while, I was able to turn on my computer and I made every update. After that, I made a reboot and everything worked. I taught it was ok and I turned off my computer. After the night, the same problem came on. I tried again to turn on and nothing worked. Black screen, no keyboard, no mouse, light turn on, the drive and cd make a sound and no chime. And this time, I was not able to turn on after many reboot with the power button.
I think it's a problem with the computer himself and not a software issue but I dont want to send my computer to a apple store before to confirm it. I need my computer as fast as I can and I don't have a retail neer of my home.

Your symptoms, though not exactly the same, seem to indicate a problem with your RAM. The startup chime is a signal that your Mac has passed the Power On Self Test and suitable RAM was found. No startup chime is usually a sign of bad or poorly seated RAM.
Intel-based Mac Power On Self Test RAM error codes
I would start by removing the RAM modules and test them one at a time in each of the RAM slots to rule out bad RAM or a bad slot. Then seat both modules securely.

Keyboard does not work after using Support Drivers

I have a Macbook Pro 4,1 15" 2.4GHz C2D, and managed to get Bootcamp installed on it with Win7 Home Pro. I have verified that it runs correctly, but it is missing many of the drivers needed to make things run smoothly. I no longer have my Leopard disks that the machine came, so I figured the WindowsSupportDrivers would be the way to go.
When I install them and reboot, the keyboard does not work. When I hit capslock, I get the caution notice indicating underneath my password field indicating the capslock key is on, so it's not like my entire keyboard is disabled. The system is unusable right now, since I have to enter my password to login, and it does not take any keyboard input. Using an external keyboard did not resolve this issue.
I did a system restore to get it back to a usable state for the time being.
Is there an alternative to the BCA support drivers or the Leopard disk? What's going on with my keyboard after the driver update?

Maybe you have installed obsolete drivers. If you have Lion, open Boot Camp Assistant (Applications > Utilities) in OS X and download Boot Camp drivers

Headphone jack no longer working - How to test if it is a hardware or software issue?

Hi, my headphone jack fairly suddenly stopped working. The speakers and the sound are fine, but when I plug my headphones in nothing plays. I see that the computer does recognize that headphones are plugged in, and it does change it to "headphones" instead of "speakers" under sound properties.
I don't remember installing any particular updates, but I did recently swap out my 4GB RAM to an 8GB stick. Not sure if the tech shop did something that might have ruined it. Does anyone know of a way that I can test whether it's a software issue or a hardware one?
thanks

Hi @svltn,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I saw your post regarding your concern about the audio jack not working. There is a good chance that is it not a software issue because then you won't get any sound from the speakers either. You can try setting the headphones as the default audio device if you haven't already. This third-party link will show you how. It is for Windows 7 but if you are using Windows 8 just search for Control Panel from your main tile page and the rest is the same from there.
Have you tried a different set of headphones or the current headphones in another device to see if it is the headphones themselves that are broken? I don't think it is the RAM but if you still have the 4GB RAM put that back in and see if the headphones start working again.

Keyboard does not connect - have narrowed to a software issue as it works in safe mode, but do not know how to resolve the software issue

I was in the process of connecting a Razer Blackwidow USB keyboard to my iMAC and something went wrong.
The new keyboard doe not respond and now my bluetooth keyboard does not work either. No connectivity whatsoever.
I've tried a number of things, including resetting the PRAM / NVRAM and SMC (interesting that the computer responds to the keyboard commands that are required to reset the PRAM). I also checked all the universal access setting to make sure nothing was interfering with normal keyboard operation.
btw, blutooth seems to think the keyboard is connected I get a gree light. I can even go through the process of unpairing and pairing and it allows me to type in the numberical code to pair the keyboard, but after that, it still does not work.
When I start the machine in safe mode, the keyboard works fine. So I've narrowed this down to a software problem. I tried to go to another user account to see if it's just associated with the current user, but since I have no keyboard connection at all, I can't type in a password, so that's no good.
I've eliminated a number of applications that I have recently installed (including the Razer set up app) that might interfere with keyboard operation, but no luck.
Any suggestions on how to go about tracking down this software issue?
Thanks - musikman7

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

[SOLVED] Weird keyboard mapping issue (not hardware)

Hi all,
I'm not a fan of posting in forums, as i usually always find my solution on other topics or fix it myself after hard work. But this time i must admit, this goes beyond my competence (although i'm pretty sure it's a stupid thing i havent thought of lol)
Alright, here it is. After a power failure, i had to reboot... but i had made some nvidia ( -> 195.36) and kernel ( -> 2.6.34) upgrades meanwhile, and i couldn't boot anymore. I fixed that by downgrading, then X didn't want to start so i did the same on nvidia.
Since then, my keyboard layout is messed up. My right alt key behaves as the left arrow (although the left arrow still fonctions well). The down arrow generates down keypress as usual, but followed by a "enter". For example, here is the result of xev after pressing the alt key:
KeyRelease event, serial 46, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
root 0x142, subw 0x0, time 133186949, (-682,-202), root:(398,157),
state 0x0, keycode 113 (keysym 0xff51, Left), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
I tried "kdb" and "Keyboard" in xorg.conf, both giving the same result. This is "not too bad", except that i'm a programmer, so i need my brackets lol I can do alt+bracket key... it works, but it generates a left arrow first, so it's kind of a waste of time.
The keyboard is not at fault, it works perfectly on my laptop (both on windows and ubuntu that are on my laptop... yuck lol). I even got a new keyboard yesterday (thanks to my boss stepping on the other one), and it has the exact same behavior... so i doubt it's hardware issue.
Well, that's my situation... and i gave up lol don't know what else to test, so i hoped some1 else would come up with some genius idea.
Thanks in advance!

I used to have Xorg-1.8 but i had to downgrade along with nvidia, due to nvidia 190 requiring xorg < 1.8 :

XFCE issues - HAL/shutdown; startxfce from non-root; keyboard maps

Today I finally decided to get rid of Ubuntu on my desktop machine and installed Archlinux.
I want to have XFCE running on it and in general its running quite nicely.
[ignore this paragraph]
Yet I can't use restart/shutdown my comp from within Archlinux using that power off button. I get an error stating that HAL is either not permitting to shutdown/reboot the computer, or that it's not available.
[/stop ignoring it here]
Also my keyboard map in XFCE is different than the one I use outside X (I have a UK keyboard layout; in the shell without a desktop environment everything is right). Why is that? Where can I change it?
Also I Arch installed on my laptop. Initially I used OpenBox, but now I wanted to try XFCE on it too. But here I can't start xfce from my user account (from root or with sudo though it works). I get an error stating "Unable to access file /home/user/.ICEauthority: Permission denied".
EDIT: Alright, the HAL issue is solved for whatever reason. Seems like a restart did it.
Last edited by Stalafin (2007-11-26 18:45:11)

The solution to the startxfce problem is to change the owner.
sudo chown -R youruser /home/user/.ICEauthority
The -R flag will performe the change recursively
If you ever log in as root again, or using sudo, you will have to change the owner again.

PC Card not recognized - hardware or software issue?

Hello All,
this is my first post to this forum. I own a PowerBook G4 (late 2005) since February 2006, but still do consider myself being new to the world of Mac.
Most questions in this forum get good and detailed answers. That's why I hope someone here can help me with some issue regarding my PowerBooks PC Card slot. Thanks in advance for reading this.
I can't get some special PC Card to work. I'm not sure if it's an hardware or a software problem. For now, I guess it's an hardware issue with the PC Card slot. Regarding this, my Apple Service Provider told me, they will charge me a fee of 90 (Euro-)bucks, if their result of checking the PowerBook is, that the PC Card slot has no hardware damage and needs no repair. I'd like to have some more certainty before paying this for no reason.
Some facts:
* The PC Card is an Option GlobeTrotter HSPDA 7.2 READY DataCard
* This data card proved to work well in a linksys WRT54G3G router
* I installed a vendor specific driver/kernel extension/whatever that came with this card
* When the data card is inserted, it seems to get power from the pc card slot, since some lights on it start to flash
* At the same time a message occurs in system.log:
'Unable to create cardbus nub for socket 0'
* The card +does not+ appear in System Profiler
Provided that a pc card slot works correctly: Does system profiler at least displays an entry in section 'PC Cards', even if a certain card is not supported?
I'd like to ask you to tell me what you think. Please make a guess, if it's an hardware or a software issue, and let me know for what reason.
Thank you!

Hi eww,
thank you, any help/hint/idea is appreciated, cause I ran out of ideas myself.
I bought the card from a company called nova media: http://www.novamedia.de/epages/e_produkte_gt_hsdpamac.html. Novamedia develops drivers and connectivity software for those data cards by Option, and sell them bundeled with hardware. So I'm pretty sure this card basically works on PowerBooks. Their support answered several of my questions, and even developers got involved, but at the end they couldn't say for sure if it's their drivers or my PowerBooks fault. They never had this kind of error before.
Entry 'PCI Cards' in System Profiler shows 5 devices, no matter if the card is inserted or not:
Entry 1 ... is a network controller
Entry 2 ... Card: TXN,PCIXXXX-00, Type: cardbus, Bus: PCI, Slot: PC Card
Entry 3-5 ... USB20 devices
I had a look at the darwin source code (http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/tarballs/apsl/IOPCCardFamily-45.tar .gz) for the cardbus stuff and even found the log statement, but beyond that, got no clue from it. Unfortunately I'm neither a C programmer nor a device driver expert.
I guess, the best thing is to bring the PowerBook to my Apple Service Provider now. I'll leave a message here in 1 or 2 weeks what the results were. Currently I need my PowerBook very bad and can't do without it for several days.

My iPhone 4s will not charge in car or truck. It would appear after research that this is a software issue with ios5. Will there ever be a patch to correct this infuriating problem?!!!

Mine charges just fine, as does everyone's iPhone 4S that I know. Apple even sells a number of car chargers that are certified to work:

Perhaps there is a problem with your charger or the outlet you're using in your car/truck.

Keyboard Mapping Incorrectly at Bootup - not consistent

Not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, but here goes.
I have 2 users that both have 15" G4 Powerbooks with OS X 10.4.6 loaded on them. They're using a standard image that's used for all our computers. So far we have have never seen this particular problem until last week.
Occasionally on bootup the keyboard maps incorrectly. The systems are set to boot to a login screen which the user cannot authenticate with as the incorrect letters are being typed. This has only occurred while they were offsite and using airport so I have been unable to verify the keystrokes. The only mapping they remember was that the "L" key mapped to one of the volume keys and "delete" (as in backspace) mapped to an elongated parenthesis, but they weren't more specific than that. I've since re-imaged a third machine with the same specs and swapped with one of the afflicted powerbooks but have been unable to replicate the problem.
I've checked the International preferences and he's set to a U.S. keyboard with nothing else selected. Verified and repaired permissions. Checked his fonts.
Has anyone ever seen this? I'm completely stumped.

Sounds to me like one of your Shift keys is stuck--holding down the Shift key while starting the computer puts it into "safe mode."
Might be easiest to bring the machine in and have a tech take a look.

ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint (55Y9053) driver issue (keys not working)

Hello!
I bought this external keyboard yesterday for my Dell desktop running windows 7 (professional) because I liked the thinkpad keyboard in my thinkpad t400. After plugging in to my desktop and installing the drivers that came in the CD, I noticed some keys (u, o, m, enter(return), l) were not working, i.e., nothing get displayed when I press those keys . When I tried installing it on thinkpad t400 running Windows 7 professional, the same non-working keys were displaying numbers instead of alphabet values.
Please note the keyboard is not 55Y9003 but the newer version 55Y9053. Also, note the trackpoint worked well including scrolling and all other keys were working. Interestingly, when I plugged this keyboard on Ubuntu machine (desktop and laptop), everything worked well without even installing any drivers.
I initially thought it was a hardware problem and got replacement from Amazon. Both the keyboards exhibit the same problem. Given the fact it works nicely on Ubuntu, I think this is a driver issue. I tried installing drivers from thinkpad site including versions 1.6 and 1.7.
I would appreciate if someone can help with the right drivers.
Thank you,
Vinai
Solved!
Go to Solution.

How does the keyboard compare to the one on the T400? I'm considering purchasing one for my desktop because I'm addicted to the TrackPoint.
