My Space key sticks...

My Space key sticks down how can i fix it? It will still work normal but gets stuck down. Is this a user repairable item?
Thanks. Dan

This is repairable. Although I am not sure you would want to repair it. Appl ehas made that keyboard like the way it is so it is more difficult for thge keys to pop out on accident. My suggestion to you so the warrenty isn't void when you pop the keys out to clean them is just to bring it in an apple store. They will fix it quickly for you!

  • Space key in Bridge CS4

    I see from a previous post (and notes at http://www.completedigitalphotography.com/?p=550) that the Space key is supposed to put Bridge into full screen mode. What happens on my computer is that Bridge hides the menu bar, but leaves the bridge window as a normal Macintosh window (doesn't even change the window's size). More frustrating is that I can't get out of it--neither pressing the Space key or the Escape key restores the menu, and I have to quit Bridge.
    I would consult the manual, but the downloadable Bridge manual bridge_versioncue_cs4_help.pdf doesn't even mention the Space key or the Menu bar.
    Any thoughts?

  • Space key gives double spaces or no spaces

    The space key on my keyboard is getting flaky: sometimes it works fine, sometimes it puts in two spaces, sometimes I have to hit it a few times to get a space. Any suggested cures other than a new keyboard?

    Well there are some instances where a crumb or fragment lodges under the spacebar. My Mom used to use her clamshell as a placemat for meals.
    You can try inverting the keyboard. If you unlatch the security tabs and give the keyboard a good shaking - without damaging the bus (cable) that runs to the logic board.
    Does your space bar still ave good recoil action when tapped??

  • Arrow and space keys not working on websites

    I can't seem to get my arrow keys or space keys to work playing flash games on websites. An example would be this game: http://progressivefastandfurious.com When this game starts the car does not move anywhere because the keyboard keys won't work. What's odd is that they seem to work everywhere else (ex: typing doc etc.) This is not related only to this site but pretty much any flash or shockwave site that needs the use of the arrow keys. I also get weird responses when using the extended keyboard with the dashboard calculator. I assume these are coming from the same issue. I bought a new keyboard and my old one does the same thing.
    Dual 2.7 GHz PowerPC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   2GB DDR RAM, airport, bluetooth

    I take back the "extended keyboard not working in calculator" it seems to be working now. As for flash, not so much. I also found out it is all keys that do not work in flash. Here is a good example:
    http://www.miniclip.com/games/base-jumping/en
    That game asks you to it any key to get started. I was not even able to do that. I also had focus set on the flash movie so I know it should have worked.
    In another game which is not flash but shockwave (director compiled file):
    http://www.miniclip.com/games/on-the-run/en/
    Hit the how to play button. The "P,S, and R" keys work but the other keys do not while playing this game. I am starting to thing I have some sort of accessibility thing turned on that interferes with certain keys. Anyone know of anything that may effect this?

  • My space key keeps on spacing forever when I'm not using it

    Whenever I turn on my MacBook Air and click on my name to sign in, my space key starts to continuously space in the place I type my password. I didn't even use or touch the space bar, and it spaces as if I'm pressing and holding it down. I can't do anything on my laptop anymore with this happening, I can't even log in to my account! Please help!

    Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.
    There were problems with some iPhone 5 batteries. See here: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone5-battery/

  • How do I remove the space key on my keyboard for cleaning underneath?

    How do I remove the space key on my keyboard for cleaning underneath?

    Don't.  It will void the warranty.  Take is to an Apple store or an AASP and have them do it.

  • Space key not working

    my space key does not work any more, but will if alt/option button is pressed. I did not worked with the settings or download any new program.
    thank you

    My problem was that the keyboard wasn't fully supported in some areas. I used tape to add padding for improved support.
    In your case, it seems like a problem with the mechanism. You said it just started happening, so it worked properly at some point. Most likely this is because some particles got into the mechanism for the right platform and jammed it.
    The best thing to try is to clean the platform and get the particles off. You shouldn't try to remove the platform itself as you won't be able to put it back. Try holding the keyboard in midair with the keys facing downward and blasting the platform with compressed air. I've also found that strong high frequency vibrations can help to loosen particles. You can try doing it with your hands if you're strong enough, or use a vibrating device to help you. You're looking for something akin to an Xbox 360 controller rumble feature or the PS3's dual-shock. You could also try a vibrating massager on the minimum setting, but take care as these can be strong enough to shake apart the entire keyboard.
    To the person who received a red-domed 420s keyboard as a replacement: I assume that it and the x220 use the same keyboard wih the enlarged Esc and Del keys. When I called for my second replacement and specifically asked for the same model that my laptop came with, I was told that they didn't make those anymore and the white-domed version was used as a replacement. I really love my red-domed keyboard and I'd love to have a spare for when things go wrong. Any advice for how I can get one? I'm willing to buy it as long as I'm certain I'm getting the good version.

  • Tecra A11 - keyboard space key issue

    Just wonder, if someone with an A11 has similar issues or if my keyboard needs to be replaced.
    When I am typing, very often the space key is not accepted. Very annoying when you type without looking at the text all the time.

    Hello
    Im not Tecra A11 owner but on my other Toshiba notebooks I never had a problem with the keyboard. Every key will recognized properly if I press it.
    I assume your Tecra A11 is pretty new and so its still under warranty. Therefore contact nearest authorized service provider. The guys can replace the keyboard because there are no single keys available.
    But dont be worry about this, this is covered by warranty. :)

  • IOS keyboard space key is very insensitive.

    What is wrong with the keyboard on iOS. after the update, the space key is very insensitive. I typed 10 times it may accept only half of the times.

    I am not experiencing any issues. What version of the iPhone are you using, and are you referring to the iOS 8.2 update? What troubleshooting have you tried?

  • Control key sticks

    HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC WITH Windows 7  one month old.
    Control key sticks, have to reboot to clear.  any solutions?

    Got my Pavilion g6 December 23, 2011; the key became active from the first day with out any action from me:  During those times, when I press the single letter “e,” it centers the cursor in a field; “p,” it wants to print, etc.  (Ctrl + various letters are keyboard shortcuts.)  Eventually, it stops; later, starts again.  It's frustrating.

    I always thought Apple is consumer friendly. After 15 years of using PC I broke down and bought iMac for my kids. What is horrible pain it is to deal with it. you purchase a support plan which is almost impossible to register. Apple is just nicely set up to take your money and provide as little help as possible. I am terribly dissapointed in how difficult to they make it for you to use it...
    very, very dissapointed. the whole apple experience is worst than Microsoft.

  • 8320 Space key not working (iintermittent)

    I just bought the 8320 about a week ago, and today I noticed that sometimes the space key will not register when I am typing emails/text messages.
    It is getting fairly frustrating, as I'll be typing away and I'll notice it didnt insert a space a few words ago.
    Is this a hardware issue or some bug that can fixed?

    this behavior of the space key is not normal. Show that to the store employee and have the device replaced by a new one (and not refurbished).

  • [URGENT] Modifier Keys "Sticking"

    Notes:*This has been happening ever since I purchased the PC*Seems to be the windows key(s), shift, alt, and ctrl stuck the majority of the time, rarely only one of them.*Is reproduceably: not Technically, can't find anything that causes it, seems to happen randomly Hello, Nick here. Occasionally, and un-predictably, one of the following keys will "stick": CTRL, SHIFT, ALT, RIGHT WINDOWS KEY, LEFT WINDOWS KEY. When I refer to the term "Stick" it is not physically my keyboard, as I have tried not only the built in keyboard, but over 4 external keyboards( all different brands ), It seems to be in the software, and I do not have sticky keys on. Some of the fixes I have tried include, but are not limted to: Reinstalling keyboard drivers, adjusting repeat delay, restarting computer, starting windows in "Safe Mode", and even gone as far as COMPLETELY REINSTALLING WINDOWS... This problem has become so prevelant that my pc can not be on for more than 10 minutes without it occuring. I have not found a fix for this, however I have found a few sollutions for when it occurs, such as double-tapping either the CTRL, SHIFT, ALT, or WINDOWS KEY. This fixes the problem but only temporarily and it reoccurs only minutes later. However whenever the RIGHT WINDOWS KEY sticks it disallows typing in some programs, and opens shortcuts, and is unsolveable because I cannot double-tap a non-existend key... This has become quite irritating and extremely problematic as I play a wide range of games, and this prevents that by sticking keys ingame, and ALT+Tabbing me out frequently. If anyone at all could assist me on this problem it would be greatly appreciated, if you need anymore info about this feel free to ask. SPECS:RAM: 4.00GBCPU-Integrated Graphics: Intel(R) Celeron(R) N2830 @ 2.16GHz( overclocks to 2.32GHz )
