Omni 27 wireless keyboard Problem enters letters w/o being pressed

Hi. My keyboard's gone berserk. I press down anyone key, and the 'T' letter gets entered so many times in a row, I couldn't count them. Backspace key won't function. I shut down computer, but when restarted, I can't enter my PW, because I try 1 letter & then keyboard just starts entering many (can't tell exact letter/number because the PW entering box doesn't show.) I replaced batteries in keyboard, didn't resolve. I called nearest HP authorized support location, they said they didn't have parts. Can't locate a phone number to call HP technical support. I really need to use my computer! Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi There, 
No worries about responding.  We removed a wierd program from my computer (using his keyboard), then my keyboard had many keys non-responsive.  I'll buy another one.  Just didn't want y'all to waste your time!  Best o Luck!

  • Wireless keyboard problem after installation of security update

    I have an Apple wireless keyboard and wireless mouse that have been working fine up until installation of the latest security update. The mouse still works, but the keyboard doesn't. I'm getting a dialog box that tells me the computer found the keyboard and to enter a "passkey" which is something I've never seen before with the keyboard. It provides me with a numerical passkey. I enter the passkey, but it says there is an error, to make sure my keyboard is discoverable, and to try again. Every time I try, I get the same results. I've repaired permissions and changed the batteries in the keyboard.
    I'm looking for some help as to what else I can do. Thanks in advance.

    Changed the firewall setting for Thunderbird in Norton's Internet Security from "Auto" to Allow" and this fixed the problem.
    I had updated to a new version of Norton's on 3/11/14. Don't know why the problem did not manifest itself until the Thunderbird security update installed on 3/18/14..
    Very happy it is now fixed!!! Thanks!!!

  • Aluminium Extended Keyboard and Wireless Keyboard Problems

    Hi
    I'm having problems with both keyboards. I have repaired permissions and repaired the disk.
    I can't use the keyboard to invoke the Hardware test from the second installation DVD when restarting (holding done the D key), nor can I boot of the first installation DVD by holding down the C Key. Likewise, neither keyboards permit the pRAM to be zapped.
    Holding down the Option key when restarting has no effect.
    When typing, some keyboard characters and the function keys just won't work on the wireless keyboard. For example, on the extended keyboard I am using now, I can't type a capital t.
    the only way to boot from the installation disk, is to select it as the start-up disk in System Preferences.
    the login screen does not allow me to type in the password first time around. it just keeps adding bullets, e.g. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
    the only way to get around this is to press enter, let the login window shake itself, and try again.
    I think this is a software / firmware / driver problem. Perhaps it is related to the 10.6.8 update? the keyboard problems have only started happening today.
    My wife said she had to stop everything the other day, because the iMac demanded (out of the blue) that a restart was required. She could do nothing but restart the iMac.
    Without a fully functioning keyboard, the computer is not much use!
    Any ideas?

    Your wife's remark indicates a KP. See
    What is a kernel panic,
    Technical Note TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics,
    Mac OS X Kernel Panic FAQ,
    Resolving Kernel Panics, and

    However, if you can't access anything with the keyboards, then your best bet is AppleCare's Express Lane.

  • Wireless Keyboard problems after Installing OS 10.5.8

    I've been using an Apple wireless keyboard with my G5 (PPC) running on OS 10.4 for about three years without any problems. I upgraded to Leopard 10.5.8 a few weeks ago and immediately lost my bluetooth connection. I installed new batteries, trashed the com.apple.bluetooth.plist, reinstalled the software, and the problem still persists.
    I removed it from the list of Bluetooth devices with the intention of reinstalling it as a new device, but every time I try to add the keyboard via the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, the name of the keyboard shows up but it does not pair.
    Does anyone have any ideas or solution to my problem? I would greatly appreciate your help.

    Barry,
    I installed the firmware 101 because the computer says 201 is not required on this computer.
    It finds the keyboard only if I turn the power switch (with the green light at the bottom of the keyboard) off and on repeatedly. This time, it gives the keyboard a new name (Apple Wireless Keyboard). I continue to the nest step, which is pairing. again, after switching on and off, it gives ma a passkey. the little spinning circle that indicates a job is being processed, continues to spin. I enter the passkey #. Eventually the Following error message appears:
    "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. If using a passkey, make sure you are entering it properly on your keyboard. When ready, click Continue to try again".
    On two occasions, the Keyboard showed up with the other bluetooth devices but disappeared within a second, and the error message appeared again.

  • Wireless Keyboard, hitting enter to send a text

    Hey Everyone,
    This is my first time posting here and I have not seen anything related to this question.  If I missed it, could you please direct me to the relevant thread?  I purchased an apple wireless keyboard to use with my iPhone 5 because my job requires a lot of texting.  I was wondering if there is any way to make it so that when I hit return (or enter) it would send the message as opposed to returning down to the next line.  I have not been successful in trying to do this and would love to know if anyone else has any ideas.  Thanks in advance for your help!

    Try
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

  • Computer in constant restart mode, restore disk & wireless keyboard problem

    I am have been trying to restore my system to factory settings with my installation CD however I am encountering a huge difficulty. I ran the disk and the computer restarted, however when it booted up I was prompted to restart again. I have restarted several times and it always takes me back to the gray screen that again prompts me to start my computer again (the restore disk is still in the computer). The major problem that I am facing is that I have a wireless keyboard from Logitech that does not have an eject button on it. In addition all of the safe mode commands can not be used because the wireless keyboard does not work as fast as the computer needs it to.
    I am hoping that someone could instruct me on what I commands I could put in once the "gray restart screen" comes up, or if the restore CD is permanently stuck in my computer until I can make it to an Apple store where someone can eject the CD for me.

    Hello avon:
    Try restarting while holding down the mouse.
    Are you really using OS X 10.2?

  • Universal Wireless Keyboard 3169WWZ has letters not working

    Hi all, can anyone help me. I have had the same problem with two of these keyboards. On the right hand side of the keyboard, there is a whole section that is 'dead'. The o,p, brackets, k,l,commas, periods, etc. do not register at all. I am extremely frustrated because this is the second keyboard with this problem. The first one lasted a few months and it is the same with this one. Any suggestions?

    How sure are you about the one year warranty? I spent two hours on the phone with someone (who didn't seem to know his head from a hole in the ground)  who waited that long into the call to inform me that the keyboard warranty is 90 days? Is is worth another call?
    <sigh>  I understand your frustration with the outsourced support group.  I've had terrible experiences with them too.  
    I'm holding in my hands the "Limited Warranty" pamphlet for the Universal Wireless Keyboard (Palm pamphlet#: 406-10460-00).  It states:
    "HARDWARE: Palm, Inc. (Palm) warrants to the original end user (Customer) that new Palm branded products will be free from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use, for one (1) year from the original purchase date.  Palm warrants refurbished Palm products, marked and sold as such, for ninety (90) days from the original purchase date."
    I'd call back, state the obvious mistake by the CSA (and who gets PAID to know this information!) and that you'd like to speak to a supervisor, or at least someone who can read English from the pamphlet mentioned.
    The pamphlet goes on to say (you should have one or two of these!) that Palm has the choice to either refund your purchase cost, or send you a reconditioned unit as a replacement if the device cannot be repaired. Dated proof of purchase will also be required.

  • BT Wireless keyboard problems

    I have a first generation I-Mac g5 computer. Operating system is Mac OS X version 10.3.9.
    I have a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse that are apple models. Recently my wireless keyboard lost connection. I changed the batteries and went ahead and rebooted my computer, but nothing. The Mouse still works, but the keyboard did nothing. I tried unplugging the computer and leaving it sit for a while but still nothing.
    I had an issue with my wireless mouse at one time after I first made my purchase of the computer and wireless items, which was October 2004, and applecare walked me through it. I've never had problems since now. I'm not sure what the steps were, as the last problem I had with either was in November 2004. My extended applecare has since expired, and I would appreciate input on fixing the problem.
    Luckily I have a back up keyboard to allow me to type, but would love to get the wireless KB back up and running. Any suggestions?

    Don't know if this will help your particular situation, but in my case it did with my bluetooth connection to my mighty mouse.
    Remove the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file from the Preference folder (Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist). When you removed that file to the trash, erase the trash file, shutdown the computer and then start it again, it immediately recognized the mouse and asked to confirm the pairing.

  • Using keypad on wireless keyboard to enter passwords won't work in safari

    I have an iMac and I am using an apple wireless keyboard. Whenever I try and type in a password that has numbers in it and I use the keypad, the password is not recognized. I do not have the mouse function turned on. The keypad works fine in all other programs even in other fields in Safari. Just doesn't work for password entry. It will work in Firefox however.
    Any thoughts?

    Quit Safari. Disable bookmark synchronization, if applicable.
    Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar. Copy the following line into the text box that opens, then press return:
    ~/LibrarySafari/Bookmarks.plist
    Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the Finder window open. Relaunch Safari. Select File ▹ Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Test. If Safari now performs normally, you can delete the old bookmarks file. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put back the file you moved, replacing the newer one with the same name. Close the Finder window and post again.

  • Wireless keyboard problem when login to Magister (Silverligt based)

    My wireless keyboard works just fine except when I want to login into Magister (a Dutch schools system based upon Silverlight).
    I hit the keys to put in my login codes, but the keys do not show up in the login screen.
    Is there anything wrong in my keyboard settings?

    Hello Jimbow46,
    It sounds like your keyboard is acting strangely when the computer boots or wakes until you power cycle the keyboard. I think you should next try resetting the SMC and the PRAM in that order. These articles will help you do that:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    And:
    About NVRAM and PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • HT1338 my wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting for no reason, I press the side button and it connects again.  Frustrating.

    My wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting for no reason.  Frustrating especially when you are going full on and nothing there.  I press the button on the side and it connects again.  Happening more frequently.  Purchased in March. 
    Any ideas would be most appreciated.

    I just have to ask, Is the battery due to be replaced by any chance?
