My keyboard is no longer lit

Just noticed that my keyboard is no longer backlit and being somewhat new to the Mac scene, I am not sure if there is a setting I may have toggled or if it just died. I have looked under system preferences and only thing I find there is "Adjusy keyboard brightness in low light" which I have checked/unchecked with no change.
Any thoughts?

You ae very welcome, great to be able to help...and you also have a great weekend.

Is it normal that, when I try to share something on my iphone 5, be it via e-mail or textmessage, my keyboard is no longer touching the bottom of my screen, it 'floats' in the middle of my screen, making it impossible to choose the addressee?

Dear fellow Apple owners,
Is it normal that, when I try to share something on my iphone 5, be it via e-mail or textmessage, my keyboard is no longer touching the bottom of my screen, it 'floats' in the middle of my screen, making it impossible to choose the addressee?

Has anybody seen this before?
I had it in 6.1.2, 6.1.3 and 6.1.4
All of them have the same problem...
Does anybody have a solution?

Hey StevenKusters,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! First I would try backing up and erasing all content and settings, but if that doesn't resolve the issue you can use iTunes to restore your iOS device - part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.

Keyboard shortcuts no longer work iOS 8.3. Triple tap Home button on Bluetooth keyboard no longer works either. Help!

Since updating my iPad Third Generation ("New iPad") to iOS 8.3, Keyboard Shortcuts no longer work. Also on my Logitech EasySwitch Bluetooth Keyboard, triple tapping the home button on it no longer works to trigger Accessibility, even though that is still set up for triple tap in Settings and continues to work on the iPad itself. How can I get these functions back? Wah!

TEmporary solution at iOS 8.3 keyboard shortcuts. Old bug reappeared.

After updating my iPhone 6 to 8.1.1 the suggestion bar across the top of the keyboard is no longer there. How do I get it back?

After updating my iPhone 6 to 8.1.1 the suggestion bar across the top of the keyboard is no longer there. How do I get it back? I had it before the update and loved using it.
Thanks

Check to see that Settings > General > Keyboard > Predictive is turned ON.

Keyboard clicks no longer sounding

I have an iPad 2 and I have just noticed that keyboard clicks no longer sound.
Music is fine
I have tried a restart
I have switched off the clicks and back on but no change
Any ideas?

You have system sounds muted.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

After updating to 5.0.1 my keyboard dock no longer works.

After updating, the keyboard is no longer recognized. It shows that it is plugged in (charging) but keys won't respond.

Are the songs that you are trying to play grayed out in your playlists?
I had this problem after upgrading to iOS 5, and I found that deleting all the songs from my device and re-syncing them fixed the problem.
To do this:
1. Attach your iOS device (either using the cable or to the same wi-fi network if using iTunes Wi-Fi Sync).
2. Open iTunes, and click on your iOS device.
3. Click on the Music tab.
4. Uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox at the top.
5. When asked, click "Don't Sync Music".
6. Sync the iOS device. Your songs will be removed from the device.
7. Check the "Sync Music" checkbox at the top once again.
8. Sync the iOS device again, and your songs will be re-added.
I don't know why the upgrade made some songs unreadable, but the resync fixed the problem for me (I had to do this for each of my iOS devices after upgrading them all to iOS 5). Fortunately, I only had 1,000 songs, so the resync didn't take forever.
Hope this helps!

Since i upgraded to ios5.0, when i go to my keyboard i no longer get the safari or wikipedia choice.

JavaScript is a rather flexible language and not always totally cross-browser, so what works with one browser may not work with another, or even in some cases a revision of one that worked before. Absent corrections to the web site, if the site isn't working on your iPad now, you will indeed probably need a different browser. There's no supported way to downgrade your version of iOS, but there are other web browsers available in the iTunes Store, including Opera Mini and iCab Mobile. One of those might be happier with the JavaScript on your web site. Opera is free, so you might want to try that first.

Illuminate keyboard in low light conditions box is missing under keyboard preferences and my keyboard backlight is not lit. Any help?

"illuminate keyboard in low light conditions " box is missing under keyboard preferences and my keyboard backlight is not lit.
Any help?

Did you used to have the option? I did, and when my keyboard backlight stopped working, I followed instructions on 'Resetting the System Management Controller' http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964. After I did that, the menu option completely disappeared, and I can't get it back.
I have the 2010 MacBook Pro (Intel), it used to work, but since moving to Lion, it hasn't, and now the option is gone altogether.

Keyboard is no longer backlit.

Keyboard is no longer backlit. Had a problem with click key not clicking, took it to the local Mac store 9/21/11 and they replaced the top (around the keyboard which includes the click key and the speaker grills) of my MacBook Pro (early 2008). Click key now works, but keyboard backlighting does not. However, I am not sure when backlighting ceased. Before repairs (but after installing Lion), immediately after repairs, or more recently. I seldom use the keyboard in dim light. I noticed this a couple of nights ago and have been looking for a solution since.
Any suggestions on how I can get it working again?
Thanks.
P.S. Extended warranty expired 9/21/11.

You are welcome
I don't figure out what are the buttons you referred, but I guess you are talking the quick launch buttons or if you can provide the pictures?
Anyway, to acitvate quick launch buttons you need to install correct SCM version from utility page, and Radio switch driver from driver page. And it is normal that "Keyboard backlight", "Airplane mode" quick launch button doesn't always light, because they are designed to flash only once when you press it.
They actually don't work at all, I know they only light up when they are being used before the recovery they worked. I downloaded Radio switch (I have SCM already) before I installed it, it informed me that my laptop has already best driver but I did install it anyway to test, I restarted then I tried to hit the fan button and the airplane but nothing happen not work/no light. I am happy that my keyboard has the backlight back again with your help, I no longer feel blind during the night time if there is solution to activate the quick launch buttons it would be great, if not, it's all good really

My usb keyboard is no longer detected after the power was switched off

I sometimes relocate my Imac to another office and after the power has been switched off the computer no longer detects my usb keyboard.
This had happened several times now and sometimes it all of a sudden starts working again after a couple of hours (but it doesn't now).
The computer keeps searching for a wireless keyboard which I don't have. I have tried everything from switching off power again to reboothing, but nothing works. I have checked all USB ports with other devices and they all work. The problem is not the keyboard itself, because it does work when I plug it in to my MacBook.
Anyone recognize this?

Yes, to a blue tooth mouse only. I have tried disabling the blue tooth connection, but when i restart my computer it automatically connects again.
I got the keyboard to start working again now by pressing all the keys one by one (in order to discharge them, read that somewhere). I helped. But how annoying is that?!

Keyboard shortcuts no longer work after upgrade to ios 6

After upgrading to iOS 6, the keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone 4S no longer work. Not only that I can't change them either. If I add or delete a shortcut, it simply goes back to the way it was when I exit the settings and go back in. My iPad 2 doesn't have this problem, only my iPhone 4S.
I tried restarting as well as doing a reset (hold home and power button).
Any idea how to fix this?

If you want to go through all the steps I took:
1. Restart
2. Soft reset (hold home and power until Apple logo appears)
3. Reset keyboard dictionary
4. Reset all settings
5. Clear autofill
Only after the last step did things start working. Prior to that I couldn't make any changes I made to the keyboard shortcuts stick, though every now and then changes would take. Sometimes trying to delete a shortcut would crash the settings app. In all cases the shortcuts didn't work.

Flex 2-15 Keyboard/Trackpad no longer working

Basically the keyboard/trackpad are no longer working for my lapop (Flex 2-15).
Here's the run down of what I know:
1) Function keys still work such as brightness up or down and turning off the screen.
2) In device manager there is the yellow traigle with an exclamation point for the trackpad, but the keyboard driver seems functioning properly.
3) On the mouse driver it says Code 10, timed out.
4) I've tried uninstalling the mouse driver and restarting to see if windows would install automatically, and the driver comes back, but with the same code 10.
5) Touch screen works fine.
6) Running Windows 8.1.
7) Tried restoring from factory settings and the issue is still here.
8) USB mouse and keyboard work perfectly fine.
9) Tried switching modes to see if keyboard/trackpad was disabled, but no luck there either.
Greatly appreciate some help here as this is beyond frustrating since I've only had this laptop for a little over a month and can no longer return it. Also Lenovo doesn't support anything besides hardware and wants $70-140 to troubleshoot this issue.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

They were trying to charge me for a "Software failure" which apparently isn't covered. I'm almost positive it's driver issues of some sort that they needed update seeing as the function keys work on the keyboard but the rest dont because the trackpad doesn't work.
But if they're going to try and charge me for a software issue I might as well get them to replace the keyboard under warrenty just to rule that out. Sucks it's only been a little over a month.
I purchased the laptop from Newegg.com since it was the cheapest I could find. They only do a 30-day refund/replacement unless you paid for extra insurance (which I never do since usually I can figure out most simple laptop issues).
I usually just turn off this laptop as it's not my main one, but one I'm going to lend to my brother. And one day the keyboard was working fine and then the next day I turned it on I had issues. Worked fine for the few weeks leading up to it. I've updated windows a few times, but none of the updates were keyboard related and factory restoring didn't work so I'm at a loss.

Some Keyboard Shortcuts No Longer Working in Apps

Recently, two specific keyboard shortcuts have stopped working within all my apps:
command-1
command-2
For example, in Final Draft they are supposed to switch formatting to become scene headings and action lines, respectively. All the other command shortcuts still work. In Word, I have command-1 through command-6 commands set to change text colors. Command-1 and command-2 no longer work but the rest stil function properly.
All of my shortcuts worked perfectly for well over a year. Anyone know why two of them might have stopped all of a sudden?
Thanks in advance,

Ignore the permissions messages, as per http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
Here's the second way:
While logged into the newly created admin account, backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option (which is stored in /Users/Deleted Users/ as a disk image), recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. If the problem's solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.

KeyBoard is no longer working on my HP Elitebook 8460P

My keyboard no longer works on my 8460p. I'm able to use a usb keyboard and the onscreen keyboard but the onboard keyboard no longer works. My HP motherboard died about two weeks after I got it and HP had it for a month and I just got it back. It would not power up and now it powers up but now the keyboard does not work. I really do not want to send it back in, I want to see if I can fix it myself before sending it back in. I'm wondering if maybe they did not connect something back or something came aloose during shipping. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hi Corey21,
I'm not sure if you found a solution yet to your keyboard issue but I did want to direct you to the board specifically for your computer.
