Number lock shortcut on keyboard with number pad

How do I turn number lock back on? Somehow I turned the number lock off, probably while cleaning the keyboard.

Try the clear button above the keypad.

  • Apple Keyboard with number pad the V key will not work

    Apple Keyboard with number pad the V key will not work.  Everyother key works but not the V.  I have a MacBook Pro.  Any suggestions?

    Call AppleCare and get it replace if it's under warranty; otherwise, get a new one. They're only $49 USD.

  • Number lock - ThinkPad USB keyboard and USB numeric keypad- they're not independent

    Because Lenovo has discontinued my favorite keyboard ever, the USB ThinkPad with Ultra Nav full size keyboard with number pad, I bought a keyboard and numeric pad separately. I ended up with the 55Y9003 ThinkPad USB Keyboard with Track Point and the 33L3225 numeric keypad. That gives me the full solution, a good keyboard with a numeric keypad. Well, almost.
    The issue I'm having is that the number lock on the main keyboard (turns the "uio", "jkl" and other keys into a number pad) controls the number lock on the separate keypad, and vice versa. What I want is for the numeric keypad to always be set for numbers and my main keyboard to always be set for letters. Instead, what I have is both are set for numbers or not, together. This of course defeats the main point of having a separate keypad for the numbers.
    Is there a setting somewhere to fix this? I'm running Windows XP Professional on an HP Compaq desktop computer.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

    I have the same problem. Would be interested to hear of any solutions as well.

  • Keyboard with touch pad/track ball?

    Hi all,
    I am thinking about getting a Mac mini for my bedroom. I need a wireless keyboard with touch pad or trackball. Any suggestions?
    Rgds TIA!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The iPad does not work with track ball or touch pads or mice because there is no cursor to move around. Your finger tip is the cursor. Only thing that appears on the screen is a place marker where text will begin to be entered when you are in a text entry mode...but that is not movable by mouse or other pointing device.
    If the keyboard meets the Bluetooth profile Apple has published for the iPad, that part should work.

  • Apple Keyboard with number pad doesn't work with Mac Pro?

    I have a Mac Pro, and have used an Apple Keyboard with a number pad (not bluetooth) with it for quite a while, with no problems. But then my keyboard broke and I ordered a replacement Apple Keyboard with a number pad (not bluetooth). This keyboard doesn't work with my Mac Pro. I have it plugged in, but I can't get the Mac Pro to consistently recognize that there is a USB keyboard connected to it. What magical stuff do I have to do to get the keyboard to be fit for purpose?

    It would not hurt to try an SMC Reset. (But if it does not help, it adds credence to lllaass assertion that the keyboard is not working.)

  • Pascode lock change from keyboard to number only pad?

    I am using Activesync with my work email and they enforce the passcode in order to unlock my phone. This is very difficult/dangerous while driving to unlock the phone with the tiny full keyboard and would be really nice if we had the option use use just the number dialer pad to input this pin. Is there any way to do this? If not apple please make this an option.

  • Number lock in Bluetooth keyboard

    Hi
    I am using a mac mini with OS X 10.4 with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Both the devices are well paired to Mac mini. But ever since I bought it I wasn't able to use the number pad in the keyboard for numbers.
    I have tried all the help options but still it isn't doing the job. Whenever I press the number pad the mouse cursor moves up, down, right, left and diagonal. The number '5' key works like a mouse click. Once I press the number keys then mouse and rest of the key board doesn't work till I press 5 to select some item.
    Please somebody explain me how to rectify this
    Regards
    C. Badrakumar

    FOUND THE SOLUTION !!!
    Turn off "Mouse Keys" in Universal Access. I turned them on a few weeks ago, and didn't realize what it was for; it's for using the numeric keypad in place of a mouse, and renders the numeric keypad worthless for input of numbers.
    Go to "System Preferences", then "Universal Access", then "Mouse". Mouse Keys should be OFF.

  • Number lock on wireless keyboard

    I have the compact wireless keyboard and have searched all over for a solution to turn on the numbers lock - if indeed such a thing is possible. The bootcamp documentation does not help either. It just says that for entering numbers the user should use the number keys just below the Function keys.
    This means I have to hold down the shift key on my kb to enter numbers which is quite inconvenient for fast work within say, a spreadsheet.
    I would be grateful for any help in this regard.
    Many thanks

    The recent versions of Mac OS X combined with current MacBook or Apple Wireless Keyboards do not support NumLock function.
    There is a 3rd party freeware app called NumLock that is meant to restore this functionality for OS X 10.7 and later.
    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

  • External ergonomic keyboard with touch pad

    I'm a MacBook Pro user, and have an external ergonomic keyboard (at home).  It does not have a touch pad, but I'm looking for one that does.  Any suggestions?

    Per the Info here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC380LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mg&mco=MTg1ODE3MDE
    the Magic Trackpad requires Mac OS 10.6.4 or higher and your equipment line says you are at 10.4.9. You'd need to upgrade your OS. Any MacBook Pro can run OS 10.6.

  • Keyboard/ten key number lock

    I just purchased a TrackPoint keyboard (55Y9053) and Ten Key (41A5090). When I plug the two into my computer the ten key number lock, locks the number pad on the TrackPoint keyboard. So when I go to type on my keyboard, letter keys I,o,p,j,k,l,n,m,, come out as numbers. Is there a way to get these to products to work together without the number lock from one affecting the number lock on the other?  Thanks.

    Hi, Rachel, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    A Num Lock light that stays lit is sometimes a symptom of a deeper problem. Try resetting your Powerbook's Power Management Unit. Does that help? If not, run the Apple Hardware Test from your Powerbook's original Install & Restore DVD, and let us know what AHT reports.

  • SUPER WEIRD: Keyboard's number keypads FREEZES Mac/Apps

    Hello all.
    Keyboard is the new Apple flatten wired keyboard with number pad
    All was well yesterday and today I discover this while using the following apps in their most order:
    Entourage
    After Effects
    Photoshop
    Other apps like Text Edit
    At first I did not notice the weird oddity, in After Effects then when I start hitting the "0" key on the numeric keypad side to do a preview, nothing happens, and worse, the whole system/application freezes, have to force quit to "release" the system from freezing.
    At this point, done Repair Permissions, even reset AE's preferences etc. Zap the PRam etc.
    Then in the afternoon when I was in Photoshop, I was typing some numbers and decided to edit them, and use the number keys on the right, and when I start typing the first number, same thing, the app freeze and I can't even go to Finder, everything freeze. Again I have to force quit Photoshop to "release" the system
    At this point, I exchange with an older white keyboard to do a test, and the same things happen.
    So I can safely rule out keyboard malfunction
    I think there is a Number Lock somewhere? The 'Clear' key?? Hit it a few times, but same problems.
    I tried in Text Edit again, trying to enter some numbers using the number keypad and it freezes, it's like somehow changes the command and functions of the keypad, the blinking "I" cursor stays there, and hitting the number keys move the pointer one pixel in either directions.
    Very weird. The numbers above the letters with the Fn keys are fine.
    I seldom use the number keypad but sometimes I do... and since this is not a keyboard problem, and seems system wide... what could be the problem??
    HELP
    Thanks and cheers

    Hi Malcolm,
    Thanks a zillion, a trillion!!
    I have to really confess all these years I have been using Mac and I did not know this nor I have come across this.
    Yes, I have gone inside the Universal settings and turn off Mouse keys and also uncheck the box about pressing the Opt key 5 times...
    I wonder how come before this, which both the above settings must have been on, that I have never turn on or trigger this before? Must have somehow "manage" to press the Opt key 5 times consecutively.
    Thanks once again! Cheers
