On my desktop the up and down arrows do not work, they do work when plugged into my laptop.
I uninstalled Firefox, deleted the folder from Win XP and custom re-installed (asking for information not be transferred) . To my surprise my bookmarks had not gone. .Neither had the problem. The up & down arrows do work on Internet Explorer (which I very rarely use).
How can I '''totally''' remove Firefox before a clean re-install as a first step to solving the problem?
Try hitting '''F7''' and see if that changes the action of those arrow keys.

Up and Down Arrow Keys Not Working
I have had the HP Pavilion g6t-1b00 CTO Notebook PC for a year or two now. I've been having a couple of problems with internet connectivity and putting my computer on "sleep".
However, few days ago, my keyboard randomly started acting weirdly. When I would try to type certain letter/numbers, they would come out differently.
Ex. pressing the space bar would show up " ./M" instead
I tried restarting my computer many times and installed a BiOS update which fixed all of my issues except for my up and down arrow keys. As of now, they have no function; I can't scroll with them and they don't seem to be taking on the role of another key. I have tried using the keys on different programs. Using the touch pad to scroll works but I still can't use the up and down keys.
Is there anyway to get the up and down arrow keys to work again?
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hello Larasoft,
I understand you’re up and down arrow keys are not functioning, is that accurate? I will do all I can to help you with this issue.
I want you to access the setup menu to test the keys out, see instructions below.
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the F10 key across the top.
3. When you turn the computer back on immediately start tapping the F10 key repeatedly.
4. If successful you should be on setup utility screen. What’s different about this is you can only use you arrow keys to navigate.
5. Try working the arrow keys up and down on different menus and see if they work.
6. Once you tested it press F9 to setup defaults and then press F10 to save and exit.
If I have been helpful or if you’d like to say thanks you can click the white star under my name to give me Kudos. I really appreciate it.
Please respond at your earliest convenience with you results.
Thanks

The Macro Express works in all other browsers (and programs), but no longer works in Firefox.
The up arrow and down arrow works in all other browsers, but in Firefox, instead of moving down (or up) a line at a time, the page moves way, way down (or up). The Page Up and Page Down buttons work only part of the time... if a down arrow (or up arrow) was used, the Page arrows move the page but not one page up or down...many pages up or down.
If I need to change back to an earlier version of Firefox, I will do this. Please tell me how to make things work the way they should work.You may have switched on caret browsing.

Hi -
My husband works with multi-level folders, each with way more content than will fit on the screen. He says that he can't get the up and down arrows to show up when he is looking for a file in Finder, or wanting to move or copy files to another folder several layers up. They will apparently show up at times, but if he isn't fast enough, they disappear before he can get his mouse over to them. He cannot use a Magic Mouse or a touchpad, which would solve the problem with finger gestures. He thinks this happened when I put Lion on our computers several months ago. My own files are not so extensive, and I can use a Magic Mouse, so I haven't noticed any problem.
Was there a change in Lion - assuming that finger gestures would replace the up and down arrows onscreen? Is there a workaround to get this functionality back?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!Canon cameras don't play will with other FireWire devices on the same bus. You could try disconnecting the WD drive and connecting the camera directly to the computer without and capturing to the internal drive. It should be fast enough for DV.
One probably is that your version of FCE is not supported on the version of the OS you are running. The last version I think that works with that software is 10.4.10 or earlier. -
Why am I recently unable to use my mouse to scroll email topics or content? I can only use the up and down arrows keys to scroll. I am able to use my mouse to scroll through internet searches. It only seems to have affected my email messages.
Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

The scrollbar won't move when I click the up and down arrows or try to drag the bar, why is that?
I just updated to version 4.0.1. After I updated and got the browser up again, I tried to scroll by clicking the bar and trying to drag it. This didn't work. So then I tried clicking the up and down arrows. This did not work either. The only way I am able to scroll is by using the up and down arrow keys on my keyboard.

My Ipod nano 6Th sometimes shuts down when I connect the phones, sometimes it not shuts down, but the volume and standby buttons do not work. If I not connect the phones everything works fine.

But the power/stand by button don´t. I need to disconect the phones to the power/stand by button starts to works. Anyone already have simmilar problem?
A windows error message appears saying iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down.
let's get a crash log from itunes, and send it to the Apple engineers for a look.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and and send it as an attachment to this email address.
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing -

Hooked up my PS/2 keyboard and now the up and down volumns don't work
hooked up my PS/2 keyboard (it has been in storage awhile) and now the up and down volumns don't work
I did this myself recently while playing around with the settings - go to System Preferences and in there somewhere will be a setting saying - " use all function keys as standard function keys" or something like that. You need to deslect or say "no" and then it will work as it used to!

Left and right Arrow keys Not working now
My left and right arrow keys are not working properly now.
For example, when typing, left arrow does not produce the desired action (move cursor one spot to the left), and right arrow does not produce the desired action (move cursor one spot to the right). Also, control + left no longer activates spaces, and control + right no longer activates spaces.
Interestingly, in investigating the problem, I noticed that my shortcut keys for activating spaces and for activating expose had been changed (software update?). Before, I had set F5 (without pressing fn) for expose and had set F6 (without pressing fn) for spaces. Now, I noticed spaces was set back to the default of F8 (requiring fn).
The issue persists after shut down, and even when logged on to other users, e.g. Guest.
All other keys seem to be working fine, including the up and down arrows.
It is not hardware because fn + left + right produces the "[" character on the screen.
Any ideas?You might want to post in the MacBook forums as this seems to be a hardware issue and those gurus hang out there. http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=248
