  • Macbook Pro keyboard keys not working

    I am honestly so fed up. For the past three days keys have not been working. It started with the question mark and slash button now it's the command, six button, equal sign, and I'm typing in the dark because the key that increases the keyboard light is not working. Soon enough the backlight key will stop working and I'll be in the dark. I've read a couple forums and have tried every single troubleshooting that they've suggested and nothing seems to work. I also can't take it in anytime this weekend due to work. Anything I can possibly do (question mark). Also, trying to fix the question mark button I seemed to have ripped off the key and now it won't go back into place. my question is will apple replace this for free. Thank you. Also, I seemed to notice that the problems started occuring after I bought one of those keyboard covers. Pretty sure that has something to do with it. Since I'll probably have to go in on monday is there anyway I can change some keys so that for example, when I press shift and another button i'll get a question mark. Thank you.

    The easiest thing to do might be to get an external keyboard for the moment. As for replacing the key for free, you might get them to do it. If it's just a matter of getting the keycap back on, they probably will. If you broke it off and damaged the keyboad circuitboard, the whole keyboard assembly may need replacement.
    Have you tried resetting the SMC and PRAM?

  • My MacBook Pro keyboard doesn't work to log in, but lets me type if I'm logged in as a guest. What do I do?

    My MacBook Pro keyboard doesn't work to log in, but lets me type if I'm logged in as a guest. What do I do?

    OK, some more info.
    I have re-installed os/x and applied all of the updates.
    I have tried to migrate my existing accounts and the problem consistently manifests as below:
    1. In a new user account, I can log in and use the keyboard then logout
    2. If I log in to the migrated user account, the non-numeric keys on the keyboard do not work. If I then log out, and try to log in to another account on the same machine, the non-numeric keys continue not to work.
    This would seem to suggest that as the profiles being migrated are on a machine with the same version of up to date OS/X, the issue lies with either the Macbook Pro (other people have also had keyboard problems) or with the migration assistant not working properly given that the current profiles work fine on another mac.
    Any more ideas anyone?

    I have a Serial Number which worked fine on my MacBook Pro but does not work on my desktop PC (Win 7).  What is the problem?

    You haven't identified the version so I can't tell if offering you contact options for Adobe Support will be of use to you.  But they will likely be your only hope of getting resolution unless you just happen to be using the wrong number as the serial number.

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • HT201181 mcbook pro keyboard is not working correctluy

    my macbook pro keyboard is being weird.
    If I hit the 1 key I get the volume increase-  If  - The issue seems to only be with the number keys.  Some of the other renumbers are behaving strange too. I tried a restart that did not help.
    I also tried to hold the power button down until I got the fast flash. still same issue.

  • MacBook Pro keyboard backlight not switching off

    I recently bought a 13" MacBook Pro (2012, 2.9GHz i7) and it came with Mountain Lion preinstalled. The keyboard backlight isn't behaving as I had expected: when the "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light" option is checked, it does indeed adjust the brightness of the backlight when ambient light levels change. However even when the ambient light is VERY bright (desk lamp shining down) the backlight doesn't switch off; instead it just goes to full brightness. I understand that the backlight usually dims in dark conditions to save battery, but why would it go bright when the keyboard is fully visible without a backlight? Is there a way to make the keyboard backlight go off when there is plenty of background light and come on when the environment is dark?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Auto brightness operation usually works in the way yours is working.  It is dimmer in very low light and progressively gets brighter as the ambient light increases.  There are cases where this is actually helpful as in wierd backlighting situations.
    You can override in the System Settings and from the keyboard "function" keys.  I'm not at my MBP right now, but I think the keyboard backlighting controls are somewhere near F5 and F6.

  • 2007 MacBook Pro ctrl key not working

    Hi all,
    I have used various iterations of bootcamp with my 2007 macbook pro without problem. I have also sucessfully installed Windows 7 64-bit using bootcamp and got it working almost perfectly (sound, video, magic mouse) despite it not officially being supported by the version of bootcamp that came with Snow Leopard.
    My only problem now is that the control lkey isn't working. I've tried various keymappers to map it to another key (generally the Apple key) to no avail. And when I say it isn't working, I mean it's not working at all. Key mappers don't recognise when I tap it, I can't Ctrl-C to copy or Ctrl-anything to anything.
    I have installed the Apple keyboard driver and everything else works perfectly, including the F-keys, Fn, alt and the Apple key (which opens the start menu). Any suggestions for how I could fix this would be greatfully received.
    Thanks,
    Alexis

    Sadly it turns out that it's not working in OS X either. I had convinced myself it was a software issue but it is apparently hardware. Shows how seldom the control key's used in OS X doesn't it.
    If anyone has any suggestions as to how I might have a bash at fixing it, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Alexis

    Have. MacBook Pro...purchased in 12/2013...trying to login but keyboard and trackpad not working...when I plug in mouse the cursor moves but that's it...help!  Please

    1. If none of the keys work, your computer may be showing a low battery alert that you can’t see.
        Connect your computer to an electric outlet or an external keyboard to see the alert.

  • There are 6 keys in my MacBook Pro that are not working, how can I fix them?

    I am experiencing issues with 6 keys (6, y, h, n, =, /) on my very old MacBook Pro, when I boot up my laptop these keys just dont work anymore.
    But when I used the keyboard viewer it works, can anybody help me or guide me on how I can resolve my problem?
    Big thanks!

  • Macbook Pro intranet will not work on iPads

    I'm trying to set up an intranet network hosted on my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion 10.8.5.  I have created a local web site hosted in the Apache server on the MBP, and I want 5 iPads to access it.  Its event photos for sale.  The problem is, the site shows up on the iPads ok, but when I tap a photo to enlarge it, it hesitates, then the browser crashes, every time, no matter what browser is used.
    I'm using an Airport Extreme for the wifi.  The problem occurs whether connected to the internet or not.  I tried connecting the Airport to the MBP with an ethernet cable, and making a whole new intranet network on the Airport, and it still does the same thing, despite trying a lot of different configurations.  So, I got a MAMP server, and it still did not help.  I need it to work offline because the events I photograph rarely have internet access.  I've tried using the peer-to-peer connection with the same result.
    I have used the exact same system hosted on my iMac (identical operating system) with no problems.
    I can't figure out what is wrong, any help would be appreciated!

  • 2008 Macbook pro left click not working properly after upgrading to 10.6.8

    I have a 2008 Macbook pro and a few months ago after upgrading to 10.6.8 my left click has been wonky.
    Using the trackpad the left click eventually gets "stuck" or stops responding and I have to push it multiple times before it does anything.  I have tried plugging in a mouse, but when I do so the mouse also behaves the same way.  The only way I seem to be able to get the clicking to work properly is to restart the computer with the mouse attached.
    I have seen threads about trackpads being messed up by swollen batteries, but my battery is brand new and looks fine, and the clicking problem extends to an external mouse, so I believe it is something with the preferences.
    I tried deleting  com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouchTrackpad.plist   and restarting and the problem seemed to be fixed, but then after about a half hour it returned.
    Having to keep a mouse plugged into my macbook is driving me crazy, anyone know a solution?

    I started having the same issue after update.  I'm on a MacBookpro running 10.7.2
    ICalled apple and they did a remove battery reboot, a reload lion and a option/command/R/P reboot on startup and then the computer started working.  Two days later problem was back.  I then did a reboot and the computer was back to working.  Today the computer worked fine tell it went to sleep.  I had to do a hard reboot to get the Mac up and running and now no left click.  Please help. I can not use the Mac  with the trackpad, a mouse, a Bluetooth mouse, or a digital pad. All so signs of left mouse click not working.  One other item when you go to pick your user at startup the left mouse click works.  Help!

  • My macbook pro keyboard won't work or respond at all, other than that everything is working properly.

    I have a macbook pro (i7) 13'', everything was working properly, but out of a sudden the keyboard is dead & won't respond to anything, now I can't login. I restarted it many times but still the same problem. Any suggestions??!!! help me out plssss.
    Thanks so much..

    I just went through something with my MacBook Pro 13" where I was using a USB mouse and a MIDI keyboard. I left the computer for a while and it went into sleep mode and when I came back to it, the machine was very slow to respond. I shut out of everything and rebooted only to find that neither my built-in trackpad or keyboard was working anymore. I plugged in my USB mouse and that worked, and then a USB keyboard and that worked, but no signal from my built-in peripherals.
    I ran a disc repair, cleaned out everything I could, updated all software, etc. etc. -- nothing... until finally I read something about how Java can cause a problem. I then went into my advanced settings and deleted everything in Java and Flash security. Also making it very difficult for those two applications to save anything to my machine. Once I rebooted my keyboard and trackpad were fullly functional again.
    Wanted to share this because it was such an unintuitive fix but my computer is back at full speed again.
