One of my button on keyboard not working

I am using MAC and today I found that 1 of the character button "{" on my keyboard not functioning dy. how can I solve this?

TroubleJ,
You can find out if it's the keyboard or something else by starting the Keyboard viewer and seeing if the system recognizes the key press. Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab > check "Show keyboard & Character Viewer in the menu bar.
Click on the new icon in the menubar and select "keyboard viewer". Now as you press the keys they will display in the viewer. Press the { key and verify that shift and { displayed.
If not, the keyboard has an issue. If so, verify that no keyboard shortcuts were assigned to this key. Also try another user on the same machine (set up a new one if you only have 1). See if the problem occurs with the 2nd user.
Regards,
Captfred

  • HT1199 Help. Forward button on keyboard not working on itunes anymore. anyone have any ideas?

    Forward button on keyboard not working on itunes anymore. This always used to work i don't know what has changed. Click on next track works also does the remote control.

    If you are referring to the functional keys on top. do you press FN key together with the F7, F8 or F9? Does that work?
    I hardly ever use the F keys as CMD_ARROW is much faster for me and SPACE bar stops or starts as long as iTunes app is in the foreground

  • Siri icon button next to spacebar button on keyboard not working

    When using my IPHONE Reminders List application, my siri button next to the space bar on the keyboard no longer works. It does not light up anymore and will not retrieve siri  when pushed. This same siri icon button other the keyboard of other applications like messaging, notes, etc. still works. It's just quit working on the Reminders List.   Mind you, if I press the circular button below the keyboard it DOES work (the circular button on the face of the phone versus the icon on the keyboard to the left of the spacebar).
    Last night, I added some third party applications (an art program) to my IPAD, not my IPhone, and I updated third party applications as well on my IPAD.  I was told that since I used the same apple's ID on the IPAD and IPHONE, the addition of the application could affect my iphone as well. Does anyone know how to get that icon button next to the space bar on my Reminders List to work again?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • Pavilion G7-1070us play/ pause button on keyboard not working

    My pavilion G7 has been a great computer for me but now it has started to experience a problem. The Play/pause button on the keyboard (f7 key) does not play or pause the music.

    Hello @Unit_27 ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    Thank you for the information about your keyboard! I'll see what I can do to help
    I think it would be a good idea to take apart the keyboard, or some of it, to determine if the keys are obstructed somehow. Some information on the supported method of cleaning the keyboard is mentioned in this document: Cleaning your Notebook PC
    If this does not resolve the issue, I would reinstall Windows on the computer. The issue at this point would be software related, to some unknown extent. A recovery will address any software issue. First, make sure you backup everything you need to. Here is some information on how to do this: Backing Up Your Files
    Once this is done, it is safe to reinstall the computer. Here is some additional information on how to do this properly: Performing an HP System Recovery
    Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks and have a great day!

  • The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using. Now, no reactions. What should I do?

    The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using (ex. ITunes or Safari to main screen) . Now, no reactions. When I press the button, it appears to be more indented then it was before. What should I do? Do I need to get it fixed or replaced, or is this a problem I can fix on my own? Whatever it is, I really need some advice. Thanks in advance.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Lenova Yoga 2 Pro Keyboard not working

    I just bought a Lenovo Yoga 2 pro and installed windows 8.1 by itsef. During Windows 8.1 initial setup I was able to use keyboard to type in PC Name, but after that the keyboard and touch pad was not working/no any response any more. After Windows 8.1 lunched the keyboard also no any response. I have to use touch screen soft keyboard. But when laptop in BIOS mode (turn power off and press a small round button next to power button) the keyboard was working fine. So I think that the keyboard hardware is ok, but some thing iwas wrong with Windows 8.1 software issue. I also un-selected all on Easy of Access->Keyboard section in Windows 8.1. Did anyone has same experience and know how to resolve this problem? Thanks a lot!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sounds like the laptop is thinking you are in tablet mode and the keyboard/touchpad are being disabled. Try moving the screen into tablet mode and back. See if that fixes it. You can also try to run an update on the Lenovo Transition software (it is currently at version 2.0.13.8221). This is done from the About tab of the software (when you run it from the start/search box).

  • Disabling Radio Button Conditionally is not working Well

    Hi friends,
    I have three radio buttons
    <li>self
    <li>New Hire
    <li>On Behalf of
    I will be showing this radio button conditionally according to the user who logs into the application.
    Assume, suppose if a person 'A' enters into the application means he will be shown only these radio button options ---NH---,----OB----,----Self-----
    Suppose, if a person 'B' enters into the application means he will be shown only these radio button options ----NH----,----Self---
    If a person 'C' enters into the application means he will be shown only these radio button options ---Self---
    I have restricted those radio buttons according to the users who enter into the application using their roles.
    But my challenge here is once the user logged in and if he select anyone of the radio button means,
    Example if he selects----NH---means, then ---OB----and -----Self---radio button has to disable and if he selects ---OB----means then ----NH-----and ---Self---has to
    disable(vice versa).
    I have also achieved the same using the DA.
    With true action as: javascript Expression i have given the following codings( i have written the below DA for three cases, if the request_class_code is equal to
    (NH,OB,S)
    var enabled=$v('P22_REQUEST_CLASS_CODE');
    if (!$u_SubString(enabled,'S')) $('#P22_REQUEST_CLASS_CODE_2').attr("disabled","disabled");
    if (!$u_SubString(enabled,'NH')) $('#P22_REQUEST_CLASS_CODE_0').attr("disabled","disabled");
    if (!$u_SubString(enabled,'OB')) $('#P22_REQUEST_CLASS_CODE_1').attr("disabled","disabled"); The above DA is working great only for the user who has the option of viewing three radio buttons in my form(i.e)(NH,OB,S).
    For the user who has the option of viewing two or one radio button, it is not working properly(i.e)(NH,S) or(OB,S) or(S).
    Why it is not working for the user with two options or with one option radio button means, the source of that radio button property is changing. Since i have taken
    the source of my radio button in my DA only when the three options are present.
    How i can solve this issue for the user who is having this two radio option or one radio option.
    Hope you understood clearly about the problem.
    Brgds,
    Mini

    Hi,
    If I did understand what you like have this might work
    var lVal = $v('P22_REQUEST_CLASS_CODE');
    $('#P22_REQUEST_CLASS_CODE input:not([value="' + lVal + '"])').attr("disabled","disabled");Regards,

  • Keyboard not working with Mail

    I have a new iMac aluminum, and everything was working ok for a week or so. Then the keyboard Update popped up, so I downloaded it. Seemed ok for a day (maybe just until I shut off the machine, though.)
    Now, most programs are fine, but within Mail, the Reply and Reply All buttons do not work. If I start up a new message, I can type just fine up until the first space. After the first press of the spacebar, all I get are alert sounds for every key pressed.
    Also, cannot send any message (Send button and shortcut not working.)
    Help! And thanks!
    Message was edited by: Zinco

    This problem in Mail is usually caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption that affects the built-in spell checker. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services — the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
    Resetting Launch Services
    If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, take a look at this other article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures. Actually, you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there:
    Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
    The most appropriate utility for this particular problem probably is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
    Side effects of System cache cleaning
    As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
    1. Quit all applications.
    2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
    3. Go to Maintenance > Reset and check LaunchServices database.
    4. Un-check any other pre-checked options.
    5. Click the Execute button.
    6. Restart the computer.

  • HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC - Keyboard not working

    HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC - Keyboard not working
    My Windows 8 - 64 bit  laptop keyboard stopped working. I tried to uninstall and reinstall as explained in the support pages. but doesn't seem to work.  Is it dead?   what is the solution.  Please help
    Thank you

    Hi,
    While this could be a hardware issue, it's always worth trying the following.
    Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand Keyboards, right click the entry 'Standard PS/2 Keyboard' and select Uninstall.
    Shutdown the notebook.
    Then unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Note:  If the keyboard doesn't work when trying to access or navigate the Bios Menu, then this is probably a hardware fault.

    Should I check the memory cards themselves? Reseat them?
    Yes.
    Memtest X or Rember to test the RAM.
    Reseat is also good.
    The iPhone 4 doesn't like USB 1.1 much.
    after the update the computer was working well, except for this freeze when ever I connect iPhone.
    I'd try USB 2.0 PCI. That's how I connect my iPhone 4s, and have connected all iPhones and iPods, to my G4.
    Never an issue.
    Can't say the same for USB 1.1.......
    The above (previous post) linked PCI card is cheap enough.
    Want cheaper, try this:

    Just my 1.46¢
    You're right, problem wasn't actually solved. In fact, yesterday I upgraded the whole system again and the same problem showed up, but I got it fixed.
    Same scenario: after a boot (shorter than usual), what I had was a tty, but I noticed something that I hadn't noticed the last time: the prompt said "Arch Linux 3.11.[?]".
    The kernel version was supposed to be 3.12.[?] so I started investigating and after several attempts, this is how I got the system working again:
    1. Chrooted into the system
    2. Wiped /boot
    3. Re-installed grub
    4. Re-installed linux kernel
    5. Re-created grub.cfg
    6. ???
    7. Profit
    I'm pretty sure that what originated the problem wasn't a "kernel issue" as I pointed out in my previous post, but it was an incorrect installation of grub: in fact, the grub prompt never showed up before yesterday, the system used to boot straight, ignoring the 5 seconds timeout.

  • HP Pavilion G6 - Keyboard Not Working

    I am having a problem with the mothers laptop, it was working fine yesterday but when turned on today some of the keys have stopped working! Its the top row of letters, Q to P with the exception of T & Y and also the up and left arrows are not working, just wondering if anyone has experienced this in the past? I have removed the keyboard and cleaned it, made sure it was connected properly and it was. I have removed the battery, held down the power button for 30 seconds and then reinserted the battery. I have loaded the default settings in the BIOS. I have uninstalled the keyboard and the restarted the laptop. None of these have worked and I am now stumped! So any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
    I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion g6-2044so Notebook and issues with the keyboard not working. You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook. When performing a System restore please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices including the USB keyboard, as they can cause issues. I hope this helps.
    Thanks.
