Number Pad Doesn't Respond

Hey,
My computer doesn't recognize my number pad key strokes on either the laptop or my external keyboard (it's an Apple USB Aluminum). Sometimes this even freezes my computer, especially in Safari.
I've got a early 2008 Black MacBook that I bought in October of that year. I've been using an external monitor with attached keyboard and mouse for 85% of the time since then.
Any help is appreciated.

I may have figured this one out...
I had some weird settings under Assistant devices that half enabled mouse keys. There might be a bug, but more likely this was user error.

    Besweet, I'm having the very same problem with 60GB colour which was bought new and worked for 6 months before suddenly just not being recognised by PC. I hadn't changed anything at all.
    I've followed all troubleshooting advice and reinstalled and updated iTunes and iPod updater software but all troubleshooting routes seem to hit the dead end of either the need to access the iPod via the PC (which isn't possible as it's not showing up at all) or the iPod in disc mode stuck at "ok to disconnect".
    It's still under 1yr warranty so will have to take to a dealer.
    I'm sorry that's not much help for you but at least you know it's not a unique problem.

  • 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.)

  • Number pad doesn't work, and can't find Num Lock button

    My number pad has stopped working. I looked in the User Guide which says I have a Num Lock button, but I don't. Where is it located. Thank you.

    Solved - Never mind, I found it. I don't know why I couldn't find it last night. I'd looked for it before without finding it. For some reason, there it was this morning - where it should have been. I guess the computer elf came in an installed it. Thanks to anyone who may have thought of responding.

  • I use iMac OS 10.6.8 (uptodate Snow Leopard) with Firefox for Mac 23.0.1. Online and at other times, my number pad doesn't work. Is there a 'Num Loc/unloc' on the keyboard?

    On line or otherwise, my number keypad doesn't work, then I get a 'freeze.' Number keypad works durning sign in.
    I use Mac keyboard (original equipment).

    Hi, sometimes Shift+clear works as numlock.
    Also open System Preferences>Universal Access>Keyboard tab, & see if Sticly keys is on.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Password number pad doesn't work.

    I was playing with accessibility and the screen went black. Now I have the screen back after shaking it, but it is telling me to enter my passcode, yet when I press the number pad, no numbers transfer to the 4 boxes in the passcode area. So the ipod remains locked. Can anyone help?

    Hi Jim - Thanks for your reply. I finally figured it out!. First I had to touch the first of the four passcode numbers, once. Then I had to double tap the first number again. Second number once, pause, then double tap second number twice. Repeat for third and fourth numbers. Voila! Finally! Then I was able to go to settings and turn off voice. phew.

  • My iPad 2 touch screen will not work. The screen is currently locked. The sliders work, but the number pad doesn't! My screen was shattered months ago, and worked fine until recently. I need to delete confidential info before replacing the glass. HELP!

    Again, everything worked perfectly until about two days ago. Out of nowhere, the numbers on the unlock screen stopped working. The sliders still work, the photo button still works. I've tried reseting it multiple times, and powering it off multiple times as well! Any help would be very helpful. It needs to be fixed as soon as possible for a private buyer. Thank you!!

    Have a read at all this, including the links. I personally would then proceed in this order.
    Open iTunes on your computer. Connect your device (iPad or whatever) to the computer.  Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release the power button, keep holding home button until your device recognises it is in Recovery Mode. (Perhaps 10-20 seconds.) If the device screen is black (blank) then it is in DFU Mode.
    See this link and note the sentence commencing, 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page.

  • Number pad not responding

    The number pad of my Apple Keyboard on my mac mini G4 and Panther stopped working a couple days ago. It failed to respond after switching USB port, Disconnecting every other device, and buying a new keyboard didn't help either.
    Tried connecting the mini with an IBM PC keyboard, but the number pad did not respond either not did its Num Lock light. Please advice on further actions.
    Thank you!

  • Qosmio x500/02G Number Pad Not Working

    Hello,
    I have a x500 that i recently purchased and installed Windows 7 Professional on it. Now i cannot use the number pad on the right hand side of the keyboard.
    I've tried using various combinations of NUMLOCK and SCROLLLOCK to no avail. Surely there a seperate number pad doesn't require drivers?!

    The problem was a faulty keyboard. there was a bank of keys on the numeric pad that were non-functional.
    A bit dissapointing given i'd had the laptop for less than 24 hours. Took it back to the store for a replacement.

  • Number pad on keyboard wont work

    My number pad is not responding on my new keyboard. Is there a code or button to turn it on?

    It would help us to know which iMac model you have, which OS & version you're using, how much RAM, etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.
    This will help in providing you with the proper and/or correct solutions.
    For starters, are you using a wired or wireless keyboard?

  • Number Pad locked?

    My number pad is not responding (0-9) although all =/*-+ keys work. I assume it's locked. I'm embarrassed I have to ask how to fix this.

    Make sure that you haven't acctivated mouse keys. Go to System Preferences/Universal Access/Mouse and make sure that mouse keys is off.

  • All of a sudden my screen doesn't respond anymore? i-pad 2.

    Did you drop the iPad?
    Yes, a wireless keyboard will work with the iPad, but you'll need the iPad to work so you can set it up.
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

        Clean the trackpad with moist not wet microfiber cloth.
        System Preferences > Point & Click
        Try turning off three finger dragging and then turning it on after  testing.
    3. Is there any Bluetooth device nearby with failing batteries? If so, replace the batteries.

  • Touch pad light doesn't respond to fn spacebar on Pavilion dv7-7012nr with Windows 7 Home premium 64

    Touch pad light doesn't respond to fn spacebar on Pavilion dv7-7012nr with Windows 7 Home premium 64.  Bought it new from HP.com in October and it has never worked.

    Hi,
    I belive that action OR f5 is for the backlit keyboard, not the touchpad. For the touchpad (my machine is also a dv7-70xx) you need to touch the switch (rapidly twice) which is on the left corner of the touchpad. The following image shows where is the light (yellow circle) and where is the swich (red rectangular):
    Hope this helps.
