Number keys on keyboard dont work

The 1 to 9 keys on the top part of my keyboard stopped working.The ` 0 - = keys all work fine. It is a wireless keyboard (model no. A1314) without a number pad on the side. Nothing has been spilled on it. I have tried it on another Mac and it does not work there either.

I have tried it on another Mac and it does not work there either.
That would indicate that the fault is within the keyboard itself, and is not a software issue, meaning there is no setting or instruction through the OS which can fix it.
You will probably need to replace the keyboard.
If the computer is still under warranty, and the keyboard is the original, it should also be covered. If you have AppleCare on that machine, that may cover its replacement.

L420 Several number keys on keyboard not working (except 5 and 6)

Hi there,
I am having some troubles with the keyboard of my L420. All the numbers (except 5 and 6) and F9 to F12, Insert and Delete are not working.
I found several threads with people describing the same problem (all numbers except 5 and 6 not working) but no solutions yet.
I have tried a System Restore, uninstall the keyboard, and an external keyboard. The numbers do not work neither when running Ubuntu nor in BIOS.
The problem first occured when I woke my laptop from Sleep and tried to enter my password. After using the onscreen keyboard, I was able to login and the numbers worked again. Then after restarting, the numbers stopped working even in Windows running.
I would appreciate any help on this problem. Can someone exclude that it is a hardware problem because 5 and 6 are working? I did not spill anyng on or damage the keyboard.
Thank you very much in advance!

Maybe this would work.
Kind regards
Use the Keyboard Viewer to test whether the keyboard keys are responding correctly when they are pressed.
1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Language & Text from the View menu (or International from the View menu in Mac OS X v10.5 or earlier).
2. Select Input Sources.
3. Select the Keyboard & Character Viewer checkbox.
4. Enable the input source for the keyboard layout you are testing by selecting the checkbox next to it.
5. Make sure that "Show Input menu in menu bar" is enabled.
6. Choose Show Keyboard Viewer from the Input menu in the menu bar, as shown.
7. The Keyboard Viewer shows the keyboard layout.
8. Type the key on the keyboard that doesn’t respond and observe whether the corresponding key highlights on the Keyboard Viewer. If it does, that particular key is functioning correctly. In the sample shown above the shift and command keys are being pressed.
9. If the mouse keys feature in the Universal Access System Preferences pane is enabled, many of the keyboard keys may not respond as expected.
10. Try starting up into single user mode to determine whether a software issue is causing the issue.

Macbook pro 15" mid 2010 i spilled water on keyboard now it wont power on if the battery is connected and the keys on keyboard doesnt work it works fine with no battery and external keyboard if i order a battery and new keyboard will every else work again

If you have records that show that you've taken your MacBook Pro in for a year to fix the machine, I would escalate the problem to Apple Customer Relations - unfortunately I don't have a number for Spain.
It would only seem logical to me that if you've been trying to have the machine repaired during the time that the 'recall' was in effect that you should be eligible for a new logic board. But only customer relations will be able to make that call.
Good luck - take the issue as high up the food chain as you can and see what happens.

None of the "option + number key" mappings seem to work

Hi,
I am trying to use the *Canadian French - CSA keyboard layout* and none of the *option + number key* mappings seem to work.
For example, when I type *option + 2* (in the "Canadian French - CSA keyboard layout"), it should print @ but instead nothing is printed and I sometimes hear the alert sound.
Spaces is not activated and no keyboard shotcuts are assigned to the keys.
In the keyboard viewer I can see the keys light up when I type the combinations but still, nothing happens.
Even if I press option and click the 2 (@) with my mouse in the keyboard viewer, the character will not print!
All other *option + key* mappings seem to work, the problem is only with number keys.

Try this:

Parts of keyboard dont work in CS4 (enter and arrow keys)

Hello all... a really weird problem:
The arrow, enter and tab keys dont work in a new installation of CS4.....
The user cant move objects around via the keyboard arrows, and cant insert an enter or move the cursor around when editing text.
Really weird.... but it looks like these keys are just disabled. They work OK in Microsoft Office applications. So I dont think it is they keyboard physically.
Anyone seen this before?

Try replacing the preferences. If it's a new install, there's probably not much to lose yet. Hold down Ctrl + Alt + Shift IMMEDIATELY after launching ID from the start menu. You have to be REALLY fast. If you don't see a confirmation dialog, try again.

Quick Step Keyboard Shortcuts Work With Number Keys Above Keyboard, But Not On Keypad

Had this same issue with Outlook 2013:
"I assigned hotkeys to several Quick Steps, and used the suggested convention of Ctrl + Shift +1, Ctrl + Shift + 2... through 5.
When I use the number keys above my QWERTY keys, all is well.
When I use the keys on my keypad, Outlook does funny things like collapsing all the day's e-mails into the "Today" heading."
Correct. The keypad values do different things and you can't substitute the keys - you need to use the row numbers with the QAT."
Ergonomically, the number keys on the numpad are far superior to the ones above the keyboard for processing email quickly and easily (and without carpel tunnel!). I'm right-handed so it's much more natural for me to hold down the same two control keys (alt-shift)
with my left hand and select the action (a different key every time) I want with my right. Can do it opposite, but requires more conscious thought and is more subject to error (which defeats the whole purpose when I have to go fish a mis-acted on email out
of the wrong folder).
Was wondering if this issue had been corrected in 2013 (or there was an easy workaround that doesn't involve writing and maintaining a separate macro or installing/maintaining a separate program like AutoHotKeys). The built-in functionality is 99% what I need,
but the ergonomic issue may make it unusable for me.

Hi,
I can confirm in Outlook 2013 the shortcut keys can only use the number keys above "QWERTY..." and we can't use the number keys on the keypad. This comes by design and is not changeable currently.

Keys on keyboard not working.

Greetings all, we are having trouble with several keys on our keyboard not working. First it started with the ENTER (non numpad) key not working, shortly followed by the TAB and CAPS LOCK key.
Any clues as to what caused this and how to fix it? It's the keyboard that came with the iMac. I've already tried unplugging it and plugging it back in.
Thanks.

None of my left-hand-side modifier keys work (escape button right down to the control button)... problem started when i was using adobe indesign cs3 and now those keys work in any program.
I am having a similar problem, although in my case these keys do not work in conjunction with the "W" key. For example, command-W only works with the right-hand command key, and to turn "w" into "W" I must use the shift key on the right-hand side as well. This machine is less than a week old, and I have Adobe CS2 installed. Have you found any soulutions?

Help! Keys on keyboard not working!

A few days ago I spilled hot wax onto the keyboard of my macbook. I wiped it off as best I could, and everything was working fine! however, yesterday my "t" and "f" keys stopped working, and now other ones are stopping to. I am able to get them to work by pulling off the keys and wiggling the rubber pusher a bit, which fixes it for a while. They also seem to work as long as I hold down on the key for a bit or try pushing it in different places. This is obviously annoying, and I am wondering how i might (cheaply) fix this?
Thank you!

Contact Apple using expresslane.apple.com if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store or service provider to ask for an estimate.

Some keys on keyboard not working.

Hello,
I´ve pushed lots of buttons at the same time on accident. and now for some reason, some keys are not responding. I´m pretty sure it´s not broken cause i didn´t push it hard, just a normal push.
? button is not working
: button is not working
1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9 keys on the right side of the keyboard are not working. (258 working fine)
it´s pretty strange because when i pushed a lot of buttons it weren´t those buttons on the right side of the keyboard. i didn´t even touch them.
So i think i did an keycombination on accident or something. It also has nothing to do with the language of the keyboard cause that´s all fine.
I´ve tried the keyboard on my macbook, mac pro and even a windows pc. it does the same thing on all 3 computers.
It´s an apple wired usb keyboard.
Does anyone know a solution?

i don't think it's damaged, i just pushed a few buttons at the same time, i don't think that can give damage to your keyboard. its not like i slammed it. i just pushed it slightly, if that means it can be damaged then it already would be broken because i type on it every day.
I can understand your frustration. But there is no way any key combo you might have done would affect more than one computer. I suggest you take it to an Apple store or other shop for them to test.

Can't sign in because many keys on keyboard not working

Am able to enter first four letters of my password but when i type the fifth = nothing happens. Nothing happens with the keys starting with Q and ending with O.
(P works) None of the numbers except 0 work..

A harmless bit of voodoo to try is
Resetting NVRAM
and
Resetting the System Management Controller
But, chances are, your keyboard or related electronics is broken and needs to be taken in for repair.
