My caps lock is stuck
My caps lock is stuck I've already tried restarting my computer and all that jazz and it's still not working.
Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
Do
Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
Remove the computer's battery if it's a portable Mac.
Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
Note what was spilled on your Mac.
Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
Don't
Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).

My caps lock was stuck when I shut down my computer. It is coming back up in safe boot (I had spilled liquid on it).
It's asking for my password - which has some lower case letters...So now how can I get in?
Is there a way to change this password or something?
I have a wireless keyboard, but it wasn't set up - so, It's not recognizing it.
Any ideas?Take your computer to get the keyboard replaced, your lucky it didn't trigger the moisture sensor and brick your machine, so your chances of the machine working well after the keyboard is replaced is likely very good.
As long as the main keyboard is sending a caps lock signal, it's not going to work even if you get in.
If you need to remove files off the internal drive, use a Firewire cable (800 to 400 adpater may be needed) and hold T to boot the problem Mac into Firewire Target Disk Mode and connect the cable to another Mac, the hard drive will appear on the desktop which you can then remove/erase files. -
Number lock and caps lock are stuck
help! number lock key seems to be stuck!
i can only write lower case letters when the number lock is on and the caps lock is on.
when the caps lock is off, i type capitals.
when the numbers lock is off, only the number keys work on the keyboard.
how do i get the keyboard back to normal?Hi bluecrop, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Tough to tell from here, but may be some Corruption.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot and not in Safe Mode, then it is likely some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Also see what is in System Preferences>Other Row.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
Another way to test is create a new Account, login to that one & see if it happens there. -
Caps Lock is stuck on - can't log in
Does anyone have any ideas on how to unlock Caps Lock key that is stuck on/frozen? I can't enter my password to login to my iMac. I am using a standard wired keyboard and cannot get the caps lock to unlock no matter how many times I restart, unplug, plug the keyboard. I have tried to use my wireless keyboard but the computer is not linking to it.
I really hope that there is something I can do, other than buy yet another keyboard.
Thank you for any advice that any of you may have.
MariaWelcome to Discussions Maria - the only thing I can think of is to turn the keyboard upside down and rap it on the table. This might unstick the key... maybe....

Y2P dim screen, caps lock indicator stuck on. Already disabled adaptive brighness... Warranty?
Hi guys. Recently bought my second Y2P, this one second hand.
Reason being my previous one was the 4GB i5 model, this one is the 8GB i7
Now I've noticed a few things when I compare them. Firstly, and most annoyingly, the screen on this one is significantly dimmer than on my previous one. When I put it it max brightness it's only a little brighter than half way on my older one. When I put the brightness all the way down the screen turns off...
I''ve already disabled auto dim in the battery settings, windows setting AND intel graphics control panel so I'm sure it's not down to that. I'm running the updated BIOS on both the systems also. This is unbelievably frustrating.
Another annoying thing is that the CAPS lock indicator light is always on. Apart from when I press a button, it turns off whilst anything is being pressed (on the keyboard). It does this as soon as the machine is switched on.
BIOS setting have been reverted to standard etc and nothing seems to be fixing any of it. I have also done a full reset of the machine on numerous occasions. Nothing.
One last niggle is that I've noticed that the touchpad is ever so slightly sunk in (something that I probably only noticed because I have another yoga to compare it to) and there is some play in the touchpad which I would have noticed this regardless.
Is it time to contact Lenovo warranty team?
Sorry for the long post, and I'd really appreciate any advice!Just to keep the thread updated in case by any chance someone has similar problems...
I've contacted Lenovo who are saying it's likely a motherboard issue, I'll be getting a letter with details of how to arrange a courier to collect the system within the next few days. I'll let y'all know what comes of it! -

We are using Sun Ray Software 5.2.1 and connecting to Citrix XenApp 6.5 servers running on windows server 2008R2. We have an issue where randomly the caps lock key is stuck On, and its not just the light, the actually caps lock is stuck and you can only type capital letters. The only solution we have found is to log off and then log back in for a new session and everything is good again. This doesn't work however if the users desktop is locked from the screensaver timeout, because then they can't type in their password correctly to log off the session. The only solution is for me to manually log them off within the Citrix XenApp console.
Any ideas?Which citrix client are you using? Have you tried killing the sun ray session with CTRL+ALT+Backspace? The Session should restart after that and it would not involve administrative intervention.
You could also try and disable caps lock with xmodmap if you don't need it.
Just some ideas

My macbook pro is stuck in caps lock, among other problems
my macbook pro (now leopard 10.6) is stuck in caps lock, no matter if the caps lock key is on or if I use shift, and windows close very slowly. I also can't erase the hard drive with my Mac OS X dvd. I can't login because my password requires numbers I can't access due to the caps lock problems, but sometimes it randomly logs me in without asking for my password.
Which version of OS X is running on the machine? When you say that the installation DVD is 'stuck' do you mean physically stuck in the machine and you cannot boot from it?
Unless your running Lion or Mountain Lion, both of which have Recovery partitions, I would think that you're simply 'stuck' if you cannot boot from the DVD. At this point, I would take the machine to an Apple Store or an AASP for a free diagnosis and repair estimate. If it turns out that you've a failed hard drive, of course, you can always replace it yourself.

I can't log onto my macbook air as the caps lock seems to be stuck (even tho its not). Using brand new Macbook Air OS Lion, not technical so need step by step instructions pls
Hi Donna, if you've already rebooted, try this workaround...
System Preferences>Keyboard>Modifier keys>Caps Lock=no action. -
I was doing homework and the software started lagging, followed by all the font being stuck in caps lock. My keys are find and I could still turn the caps on/off. This had no effect; still caps. I used shift, still the caps stayed on. I restarted it and it pops up with "OS x safeboot" and asks for my password. I type it in accordingly and it's wrong because the caps are still on. I don't know what to do and I have an online test due soon ;( help?
I would first try compressed air to blow anything from under the key. More knowledgeable people will hopefully chime in, but a problem starting at a level as low as logging in would make me think that the contacts under the keys might be dirty. Do you have another keyboard that you can plug in?
