Number pad not working on keyboard ?

My number pad on keyboard seems to be locked and don't know how to unlock

Hello Joaquinfromhi,
You may need to press the 'Num Lock' button or key on your keyboard, or you may have enabled 'Mouse Keys.'

Cisco ISE 1.2 keyboard number pad not working in CLI

I cant get a keyboard number pad to work in ISE 1.2 when accesing via the SSH CLI. NumLock makes no difference and changing settings in my Putty session doesnt make any difference either.
Anyone got any ideas?

Have you tried to ssh into the router and then ssh into the ISE node? Are you running this on a vm or is this an appliance, by any chance is this the UCS appliance, try accessing the console port through CIMC if possible.
Thanks,

You need to turn off Mouse Keys in System Preferences - Universal Access - Mouse & Trackpad. Also uncheck "press option key five times to turn mouse keys on".

Hi,
does the numpad work in other Windows programs, or is it just the MS Office programs ?
Have you tried the 'clear'-key (the one above the '7'-key on the numpad) to enable the numpad ?

Wireless keyboard number pad not working

I purchased a wireless keyboard about 4 months ago and realized about a month ago the 9 digit number pad on the right stopped working. Every other button still works just not 1-9. Is there a number lock button that I may have pushed???

What brand and model of numeric keypad are you attempting to use?

Keyboard number pad not working....

I have installed Leopard, and now my number pad won't work. I have looked under System Preferences, and found nothing wrong there. I have the aluminum keyboard that is wired. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks...

I am having the same problem on my 24" imac (late 2006).
My keyboard is a wireless mac keyoard.
All the number keys (0-9), as well as the decimal key do not work. When trying to use these keys in TextEdit or TextWrangler, they actually cause the keyboard to appear to lock up (command-option-esc clears, with no need to actually force-quit anything). The F-keys also appear to continue working.

W700 Number pad Not working

W700 Windows 7 Pro x64
The full 10 key pad is working. It does not work if you try to use it to login but right when windows starts, it will work for about 3-4 keystrokes and then stop working. When it stops working, nothing. No arrow movement or numbers.

W701 - Win 7 / 64. My number pad is also not working (mostly). This has been the case since purchase, about one year ago (04-2011). It works as soon as Win 7 starts, but after a short time it no longer functions. However the Fn + NmLk keys do produce the short-cut to the calculator. I thought it had to do with sleep mode or hibernation, and if I waited, a new driver would be available, but this is yet to be the case. Perhaps it is a loose cable connection under the keyboard (?) - it remains a mystery. If I discover a solution I will post back here.

HP DV9291ea Number pad not working after been in for repair

I have a HP DV 9291ea laptop. It is a 17 inch model with a numeric keypad on it. The problem is, when the numlock key is turned on the keyboard number pad get's enables. I recently had the mother board changed by HP/Tarsus. I suspect that they didnt load the correct keyboard profile. They (Tarsus) said that should bring the laptop in and they will fix it (for free). I will do that if no one can help me here, Is there an easy and permanent fix for this problem?
I can temnporarly get around it by doing the following:
making sure the numlock is off.
opening the on screen keyboard (start>programs>accessories>ease of access>on screen keyboard)
a keyboard layout will opens on the screen
I hold down the FN button down on the real keyboard and clicking the nlk button on the onscreen keyboard by using my mouse.
the problem is is i press the numlock key again I will have to go through the whole process again.
Anyone have any idea what could cause this or how to fix it permanently?
If you might have a suggestion, please post it to me....

This thread's been dead for a few years, but since I had to really search to find the answer to this issue, I thought i'd share what worked for me.
In Win7, go to Start->Accessories->Ease of Access->Ease of Access Center, click "Make the mouse easier to use" and uncheck "Turn on mouse keys".
This fixed my problem on a HP G72 with integrated numeric pad.

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.

The number pad on my wirelss keyboard has stopped working...help!

Hi All,
New to macs, I have a new interl-based iMac with a wireless keyboard and mouse. Yesterday the number pad stopped working. The CD eject and sound buttons still work, but the numbers themselves do not - in fact when I use them, the whole machine freezes and I can not do anything. I was playing around in the system preferences yesterday - did I click something I should not have? Or is the keyboard faulty and in need of going back to the apple store for replacing?
I have updated the machine fully, including the latest keyboard update, but the same resulting freezing occurs when I press a number on the pad.
Any suggestions very much appreciated.

Sorted it - I had looked, but not found any answer through the discussions already posted. But I just found this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3131735&#3131735 and it has sorted it!

Keyboard number pad not functioning!

i dont know what exactly i did, i might have pressed a keyboard shortcut i dont know. im reletively new to macs. my number pad doesnt work at all. it's an apple keyboard. its the side of the far right with all the numbers on it. its the new apple g5 keyboard, i got my imac this year so the keyboard is up to date.
its just the standard, not wirless at all. is there a system prefrence that i can change it back?!!!!????!!!???
responses will be greatly appriciated.

I had a similar problem where my numerical keypad on my Pro Keyboard seemed to stop working. In fact, when I used the numerical keys over there it would 'lock-up' whatever I was doing and I had to call up the Force Quit panel to shake my application free of the lock. (I didn't actually Force Quit the app, just CTRL-OPTION-COMMAND'ed to call the FQ menu up and then closed the menu. This saved me from shutting the app down completely while "releasing" the numerical keypad.)
Thanks to AXL for the tip on Universal Access. Hope my submission here helps anyone else who wonders why their keypad suddenly seems possessed!

Can't get my number pad to work - No Num Lock

Hello,
I recently got my iMac with the wireless keyboard and noticed that I can not get my number pad to work. There is no num lock button to turn on/off, just the clear button. Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks
Jay

This is from the built-in Mac Help.
Hope it works for you.
My numeric keypad doesn't work
The way the numeric keypad works depends on your computer, the keyboard you're using, the application you're working in, and whether the Num Lock key is engaged. Usually, the numeric keypad is used to enter numbers in a document, but in some applications you might be able to use the keypad to navigate (move around in) your document.
Press the Num Lock key to switch between the ways the numeric keypad functions.
If you have a separate numeric keypad on your keyboard, the Num Lock key is located in the numeric keypad. If you're using a portable computer, the Num Lock is a function key, marked Num Lock (F6). If your keyboard has a separate keypad but no Num Lock key, try pressing Shift-Clear.
Most portables have a group of keys on the keyboard that can function as the numeric keypad. To find the keypad, look for small numbers or symbols in the lower-right corner of keys on the right side of your keyboard. Press the Num Lock key (F6) to turn on the keypad. The green light glows on the Num Lock key when the keypad is active.

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!

Did you make sure also, about Mouse Keys?

Number keys not working on a MacBookPro11,3

My machine is a 15-inch Retina MBP, late 2013 running OS X 10.9.4.
The number pad on an external keyboard works. Regular number keys on an external keyboard do not.
The problem affects all ten digits, not just 1-9. All he computer does is give me an alert chirp when I press them.
Number keys work in single user mode, so this is some kind of software issue.
Mouse Keys is off.
I'm not using text to speech.
I can click the keys in the Keyboard Viewer, except for the number keys. They chirp too.
I reinstalled the system and it didn't solve the problem.
Oddly, number keys DO work if I'm typing into a password field.
I've searched this board as well as the internet to no avail. Has anyone else had this problem or have any ideas?
Thanks.

So they always work normally except at which web site?

Hello @BABUMON ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP Notebook and mouse freezing. Here is a document on how to troubleshoot the mouse and Touchpad sensitivities.
If you will go to the section on Adjusting TouchPad or ClickPad pointing sensitivities it should help resolve the issue.
I would be happy to assist if needed as there are many models of HP Notebooks, I would need the model number.
