Part of numerical keyboard doesn't function

Since yesterday the figures of the numerical keyboard don't work. The =/*-+ are working fine. When I try to use them in f.i. iCall, the program, dock and windows freeze. When I log in I can use the figures. I tried another, same keybord, same problem. My keyborard linked to another iMac no problem.

You may have pressed Option five times, thus enabling Mouse Keys. You can turn it off (and disable the Options shortcut) in the "Mouse" tab of "Universal Access" system preference.

Part of my keyboard is not functioning, help!

I have a 2nd gen ipod touch on 3.1.3 that i just bought refurbished by Apple, and my keyboard is not working right anymore. It was working fine earlier today, but now I can't use all of it, When i push on anything on the bottom row of letters it selects whatever is below that, this makes the keyboard kinda useless because I can't use the caps key, z, x, c, v, b, n, m, or backspace... Please help!

I installed the 2.0 update the day it came out and experienced no problems except for the crashing of applications. Since it was upodated my 1st gen. iPhone has been completely fine until this morning. upon waking up I discovered that the slide to unlock tab won't respond. Also when i pressed the home button twice and the rewind play and fast forward buttons came up, none of them would respond either. I have reset the iPhone twice now without any luck. I have had this iPhone for about 6 months+ wihtout having any problems such as this. If anyone has any idea as to how to fix this please help!

Numeric pad doesn't work anymore in extended Keyboard

IMAC numeric pad in old extended keyboard doesn't word anymore . I think something wrong in configuration but can't find it.
help

I called Apple and we trouble shot it for over an hour. It turns out that I could use the number pad when logging in under "test" username but not for my own. After deleting a lot of things and restarting, we found that the problem was in this file "com.apple.universalaccess.plist!!! Once we trashed that and restarted it, my number pad worked and now works fine.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to reply! Your suggestion was the first thing we worked on and ruled that out!

The numeral part of my keyboard causes my mac mini to freeze when using the 0 - 9 keys

The numeral part of my keyboard causes my mac mini to freeze when using the 0 - 9 keys.. I have to restart to continue.
Does it have to do with the disk utility?
I already did the disc repair job

Open System Preferences - Universal Access and check whether 'Mouse Keys' are activated.
If so, then deactivate them. They could be the cause of your problem.

Keyboard function keys F13-F19 on the numeric keyboard

I have the Apple numeric keyboard. Is there a possibility to assign functions to the function keys F13-F19? Thanks for any help, but please don't tell me to write a script:) I need rather simple solutions...

Thanks for the reply. But this does not seem to be possible. Under "keyboard shortcuts" (in my case in German "Tastaturkurzbefehle") there is no helpful option that allows to set up commands for the additional function keys (under OS X7.2).

Any way to get numlock/numeric keyboard overlay in W530?

Hi all,
Last week I got my new ThinkPad W530 as a replacement for my W500 that replaced my R60 that replaced my R51. One of the first things I noticed was the changes to the keyboard. I really like the feel of the keys, but I don't like the layout, I think the previous one was perfect :/
Anyway, I'm not here to bash. I'm giving the new layout a chance, and maybe I'll get used to it and not want to go back in some months, let's see. But before I can do that, there is something I absolutely need. I use some software that needs a numpad and the new W530 keyboard doesn't seem to have the numeric keyboard overlay that the older models had.
Is there anyway to get this or simulate it's behaviour? Anything, I don't care if it is a hidden Fn combination that will activate it, a third-party software to simulate it, a fan-made keyboard driver, or some fiddling with Windows options. But sure there MUST be some way, easy or difficult, to make they keyboard work as if it had NumLock and a numpad, right? I don't think I'm the only one needing this functionality...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have the odd feeling you can write your own Autohotkey script that toggles a simulated overlay with a double-tap of the right Ctrl key.
EDIT: And here it is:
~RControl::
if (A_PriorHotkey <> "~RControl" or A_TimeSincePriorHotkey > 200)
KeyWait, RControl
return
t := !t
#If t
u::4
i::5
o::6
j::1
k::2
l::3
m::0
/::+
p::*
0::/

Cant bind new numeric keyboard

I can't properly bind my new Numeric keypad to my Macbook Pro. Bluetooth works well and detects the new keyboard but at the time of identification doesn't read it. Asked me to touch the key to the side of uppercase but does not correspond to my new numeric Keyboard.

Shootist007, thank you for your reply. That didn't solve it but while in the Keyboard preferences I unchecked 'Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys' and that seems to have done the trick. That seems counter intuitive to me but hey, it works.

Keyboard doesn't appear in Messages+ on HTC M8

My keyboard doesn't appear when I try to type a message in Messages+. It appears when I type in the to box. Instead of the keyboard I have a box lets you send gifts, photos, audio, etc. I've tried restarting numerous times with no effect. Has anyone else had this issue? I like the verizon messaging app and don't want to use another, if possible.

shelsuz23,
You've come to the right place for help! Being able to use the keyboard while in the message + app is definitely important.
When did this issue start? Do you have the most current software version running on the phone http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-95738/? Have you checked that the Verizon Messages+ application is updated to version 5.5.17 or later. Please go to the Google Playstore and update the Verizon Messages+ application and retest.

Numeric keyboard with iMac

Recently,I bought a numeric keyboard to work with my iMac and found a problem which a small keyboard that included in a box doesn't have this same problem.
I installed both snow leopard and window XP on my iMac.Normally on start up when I press option key,it should bring up both drives icon to select.With the numeric keyboard,nothing happen but the small keyboard is working just find.
I consulted with apple dealer in my country and tested my numeric keyboard at apple store.Every keys working properly but the same problem still exist with the computer that have recent software update.On new computer,It has no problem at all.
Does anyone experience this kind of problem like me?Pls share your point of view.
Thank you

Are you able to use other startup keys, such as the C key to start up from your Mac OS X installation disc in the optical drive?
Did you already try resetting PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
(and are those startup keys recognized?)
and this procedure to reset SMC?

Numeric keyboard comma separator

Hello iUsers,
I am quite new in mac but this problem has appeared suddenly and I don't know if it is on my site or by something else. I've googled it and trying to find answer here but nothinkg helps. The problem has been already solved here before but this not helping me, sorry if I am disturbing...
In every aplication, when I am trying to write "," on numeric keyboard, it writes "." which is super anoying especialy in OO.org calc or 3D app Rhino where I need to work with decimals. It is so anoying to go to the "," key on the alphabet section.
I was trying to switch the Language&Text setting to US or custom but nothing helps, it put always dot.
Please, please help. I was so ****** of by PCs for many years by such a stupid bugs and hoped that on macs this is solved.
Thanks a lot

Hi Steffen,
For that purpose you can write a simple batch file or a second application that calls your program with different command line arguments.
Your main application can read the input parameters and you can code it to distinguish the program call reason (first time or second time).
Another solution that comes to my mind is the atexit function.
You can register your own application to start itself upon its exit. See the function help for details.
I cannot try that right now but I'll be glad if you can try it and inform us of results.
Hope this helps,

Several Onmessage and asynchronous process doesn't function

Hi,
I'm using the BPM suite v10.1.2.0.2.
A process instantiated by a pick with two onMessage, each receiving a distinct message from two different invoke from another process, doesn't function.
I have the following error :
<remoteFault>
<part name="summary" >
<summary>when invoking endpointAddress 'http://set.by.caller', exception during AXIS invoke: java.net.UnknownHostException: set.by.caller; nested exception is: javax.xml.rpc.JAXRPCException: java.net.UnknownHostException: set.by.caller</summary>
</part>
<part name="detail" >
<detail>javax.xml.rpc.JAXRPCException: java.net.UnknownHostException: set.by.caller</detail>
</part>
</remoteFault>
More clearly, when I Introspect the data entries to instantiate only the process beginning with the pick, It works with one operation, but not for the other.
I can see that the error is the following : the server always looks after the same portType, and therefore generates the following error : operation cannot be found in the portType.
I assume the code is correct describing the two operations.
Has anyone already faced such a bug ?
Thank you by advance,

Hi,
I've been working on it these past days. I Never found the problem.
You can find here the useful bpel code :
<partnerLink myRole="BPELProcess1Provider" name="PartnerLink_1" partnerLinkType="client:BPELProcess1"/>
<partnerLink myRole="BPELProcess1Provider2" name="PartnerLink_2" partnerLinkType="client:BPELProcess2"/>
<variable name="variable1" messageType="client:BPELProcess1RequestMessage"/>
<variable name="variable2" messageType="client:BPELProcess1RequestMessage2"/>
<pick name="Pick_1" createInstance="yes">
<onMessage portType="client:BPELProcess11" operation="initiate1" variable="variable1" partnerLink="PartnerLink_1">
<wait name="Wait_1" for="'PT5S'"/>
</onMessage>
<onMessage portType="client:BPELProcess12" operation="initiate2" variable="variable2" partnerLink="PartnerLink_2">
<wait name="Wait_2" for="'PT5S'"/>
</onMessage>
</pick>
and here is the WSDL code :
<portType name="BPELProcess11">
<operation name="initiate1">
<input message="client:BPELProcess1RequestMessage"/>
</operation>
</portType>
<portType name="BPELProcess12">
<operation name="initiate2">
<input message="client:BPELProcess1RequestMessage2"/>
</operation>
</portType>
<plnk:partnerLinkType name="BPELProcess1">
     <plnk:role name="BPELProcess1Provider">
          <plnk:portType name="client:BPELProcess11"/>
     </plnk:role>
</plnk:partnerLinkType>
<plnk:partnerLinkType name="BPELProcess2">
     <plnk:role name="BPELProcess1Provider2">
          <plnk:portType name="client:BPELProcess12"/>
     </plnk:role>
</plnk:partnerLinkType>
If I Try to introspect the call of 'intiate1' with a HTML form on the BPM server, I get the following error message :
Unfound operation in the portType. The operation "initiate1" cannot be found in the portType "{http://xmlns.oracle.com/BPELProcess1}BPELProcess12". Check if the "initiate1" operation exists.
The other branch is working fine.
I can't help thinking that this is an Oracle Bug : the server always looks after the same branch.
Anyway, thank you by advance

OS X 10.5.8 Aluminum/Numeric keyboard

Hi,
I have 10.5.8. I bought the new numeric keyboard. and F7-F12 are dead. I downloaded Spark, but can't find a shortcut script to use. I only want volume. Can anyone help? Do I have to upgrade?
Thanks,
Sean

I think the KB issue is quite silly on Apple's part, but...
I think Spark cured this for another person and the same problem...

Numeric keyboard problems

can anyone help with advice regarding my keyboard problem. Basically, I have tried two different apple keyboards and neither of them will work on the numeric keypad. Does anyone know what is wrong?

If restarting the computer, logging in and out of a user account, trying a second
user account to see if the problem exists computer-wide or only in one account,
does not work, you could see if resetting PRAM/NVRAM or even PMU for that
specific computer may flush the system, should it be a software error.
There is an Apple Hardware Test on the bootable Installer disc DVD which
came with your computer, and perhaps that could spot some error in the
USB or keyboard, but it may not show a subtle issue, such as a bad cord
or one port connector in the computer which may be bent, etc.
User account issues are sometimes responsible for other problems, but there
could be something a bit screwy with the port the computer keyboard is plugged
into; so have you tried a different port? Does that part of the board work if the
computer is started up in SafeBoot?
Does Keyboard Viewer show any activity on the keyboard in that area even
though the input does not show on the screen?
On a portable computer, there is a way to turn off the Numeric Keyboard area,
which is different than a full-size keyboard; you can make it 'ignore input' to
the computer if the correct settings or other keys are selected to do so. And I
wonder if this is possible with a regular full size external keyboard on an iMac.
Some settings in Universal Access in a desktop computer may affect how
the keyboard works; or what may be expected from pressing some keys
may change due to settings accidentally chosen through this panel. A few
can be activated by accident, if some check-boxes were default-chosen.
With the portable computer, it takes a bit more effort to ignore numeric
keyboard, since it is part of the main built-in keyboard. In a desktop
Mac, the keyboard/mouse controls in System Preferences panel offer
a few choices, and Universal Access offers others which can be turned
on or off at times without a conscious effort; given pre-conditions in there.
So, if the software and/or settings in the system are to be ruled out, any
possibility of settings or a damaged OS X need to be weeded out. If
the hardware is known good and that includes the logic board and or
USB ports used to connect the USB standard or pro keyboard to the
Mac are good, then further investigation is required. Patient, tedious.
{If you use a powered USB hub, be sure to have the keyboard directly
plugged into the computer. A mouse can be run from a powered USB
hub, but some hubs don't work or work incorrectly in some cases with
keyboard commands on startup. And having too many things attached
in a string of USB devices (unpowered hubs, etc) can cause a brown-
out or power failure; since USB can only support a limited number of
items attached to the computer's internal powered ports. Be they USB
or FireWire, there is a limit and rules apply; should peripherals be in
a string attached to a computer, so demand won't exceed supply.}
Good luck & happy computing!

My MacBook Pro keyboard doesn't work to log in, but lets me type if I'm logged in as a guest. What do I do?

My MacBook Pro keyboard doesn't work to log in, but lets me type if I'm logged in as a guest. What do I do?

OK, some more info.
I have re-installed os/x and applied all of the updates.
I have tried to migrate my existing accounts and the problem consistently manifests as below:
1. In a new user account, I can log in and use the keyboard then logout
2. If I log in to the migrated user account, the non-numeric keys on the keyboard do not work. If I then log out, and try to log in to another account on the same machine, the non-numeric keys continue not to work.
This would seem to suggest that as the profiles being migrated are on a machine with the same version of up to date OS/X, the issue lies with either the Macbook Pro (other people have also had keyboard problems) or with the migration assistant not working properly given that the current profiles work fine on another mac.
Any more ideas anyone?

When online and asked to fill in phone no., the iPhone presents a numeric keyboard that does not have space, hyphen or parenthesis keys. How to get a full keyboard to come up all the time?

When asked to input my phone number on some online forms (Yelp, donation), a numeric keyboard comes up on my phone. This keyboard has 0-9 characters, + # symbols, and the words "pause" and "wait.". There is no option for parentheses for area code, no hyphen option, no period option and no space option. As a result, numbers run in a single row. I then get the message "Invalid phone number" or "Invalid Format.". The sites then won't allow me to continue. This numeric keyboard is useless. How do I get either a numeric keyboard with the needed features or, better yet, get the alpha-numeric pad we usually see? This seems so weird on Apple's part.

I'm wondering where the onsite warranty can be in effect. Like, can it be used in ANY city in the US? Can it be used only in metrololitan areas? What is a metro area in Lenovo's eyes?
Does anyone know where I can get better and accurate info on the onsite warranty? Like a coverage map would be very helpful. Because why should I spend the money on it, if I can't access it?
Looking forward to more info...thanks.
There is no coverage map as such.
I live in what is considered a rural area and had techs driving 60-70 miles one way to get to me, never an issue.
Obviously, YMMV.
In my not-so-modest experience, both onsite and accidental damage upgrades are worth every penny if one intends to keep their ThinkPads for an extended period of time.
Good luck.
