Portg Z30-A-108 - Num lock does not work on external keyboard

Hi,
We have a Portg Z30-A-108. We use it with external wireless keyboard and mouse. On the external keyboard is used, the num pad does not work (as if the "num lock" was off). I tried using the function key FN+F11 on the laptop but without any succes.
Does somebody had the same problem or any idea to solve it ?
Thanks.
Nicolas

>On the external keyboard is used, the num pad does not work (as if the "num lock" was off)
You are talking about the external keyboard.
But from my knowledge the internal Portg Z30-A-108 keyboard does not contain the num pad. Possibly this is the reason why the Num Lock is turned off.
By the way: the NumLock can be enabled in the system registry.
Open Windows registry editor using the command regedit.
In the registry, go to the folders.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Control Panel\ Keyboard\
Within the keyboard folder, you should find a string value named "InitialKeyboardIndicators" with a value of 0, 1, or 2.
Here the value meaning:
0 = Num Lock is turned OFF after the logon.
1 = Disable Num Lock.
2 = Numlock is turned ON after the logon.

My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

Do you have your Assistive Touch on? Per another user in another forum:
Source: http://forums.imore.com/ios-6-forum/240631-auto-lock-not-working-ios-6-a.html. Username: Chambaka
Okay, I did a 'reset all settings' in settings and problems fixed. Hope this can be useful for others.
Edit: it appears that when the assistive touch is on the autolock function won't work while in the home screen, but will work if opening a app. I hope Apple fixes this bug in the next update.
I tried what he said and my auto-lock's working again - so, I turned off my Assistive Touch. Hope Apple fixes this bug soon,

Satellite C660-11W - Num pad does not work

Hi!
I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-11W, who I bought 10 months ago. Since October, the num pad of my laptop does not work, but when I push the button "Num Lock", it makes a sound like I had activated the sticky keys.
How do I solve this problem?

Hi
Sounds a little bit like keyboard malfunction.
I think the service technician should need to initialize the Numpad function by Test & Diagnostic software and should replace the keyboard if the test would fail.

Hello F1503,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I have read your post on how the light on the num lock key of your notebook is not illuminating, and I would be happy to assist you!
To enable the light on the num lock key, I recommend following this document on Some Function Keys or Keyboard Shortcuts Do Not Work Correctly with Windows 7. This resource should help provide a hotfix for your num lock key.
For further assistance, I will need to know:
If your computer has completed all of its important Windows Updates.
If you have updated your HP drivers using the HP Support Assistant.
If this is an on-going, or recent issue.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Num lock is not working

I posted this message a while ago and just doing a follow up. Hope somebody's out there,
My num lock function is not working properly when I press the F6 button. It's a 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4, running Tiger OS 10.4.11. When I want to use the num lock, all of the num lock keys start working like a directional button and disables hot corners, the track pad and pretty much everything else except F1-12. The only way to regain control is to force quit the program that I originally started using it in. Any thoughts. Anyone?

How about removing the keyboard ... here's how to do that: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=95132 The article title is how to replace memory but it has the instructions for removing the keyboard also. Very handy article to save!
There might be dust or lint particles there. I use a can of compressed air with the keyboard ON about once a month or mine stick too. Maybe that will help.

Android orientation lock does not work within the ADPS App

Hi,
and another Android App Bug for today. The Android orientation lock feature does not work in Apps created with ADPS. If orientation lock is enabled and I turn the tablet, the orientation off the ADPS Apps will turn with the tablet.
My Test Tablet is an Acer IconiaTab A510 with Android 4.0.3
Kind regards
Yves

When you say that the orientation lock doesn't work, we have no way of knowing if that means that the screen is locked in one position only, or that it will not lock in one position only. So try something g very basi and reboot your iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
In the camera app, you have to swipe up and down on the screen to move between photo, video and the square photo mode options, so are you even in the correct mode to take videos?

Clicking the lock does not work HELP

clicking the lock at any kind of program does not work at all, not working in system pref,
not working at ''get info'' window, not working in any other kind of lock, i tried defragging via idefrag but that couldn't work because it needed a lock to be opened as well, i can't move my files to some folders, getting the ''The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code 100022).''
plus when i log out, cannot log in because when i type my password it accepts it but then nothing happens, i had a root account as well but i can't enter it and can't create again because of the lock, but when i log in with guest account(no pass required) i can make changes via clicking the lock and filling in admin username and password in system preferences. and i created a new admin account in guest account by filling admin info for authorization in system preferences > users&groups , set no password, logged out but could not log into that account as well. my system is set to login to my account when the system starts. so thats how i can use the computer

Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. There are ways to back up, even if you can’t log in. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore everything to the state it’s in now. If you’re not sure you can do that, STOP.
Briefly, you need to delete the following file:
/var/audit/current
If you already know how to do that, you can skip the rest of this message. Do it, and try again to log in.
Step 1
Boot in single-user mode by holding down the key combination command-S at the startup chime. If you’re using an external USB keyboard, it must be plugged directly into a built-in port on the Mac, not into a hub. Release the keys when you see a black screen with scrolling white text. In this mode, there’s no graphical interface; just a command line. Initially, you can’t make any changes to files.
Step 2
When the text stops scrolling, and you see a line ending in a pound sign (“#”), type the following command:
rm /var/audit/current
You must type the command exactly as given. If you don’t feel able to do that, STOP. At this stage, no harm will be done if you make a mistake, but later, it will be.
Press the return key. You’ll get an error message about a “read-only filesystem” below what you entered. There must be no other error message. If there is, try again until you get it right. You’ll continue to get the read-only error.
You might get the error “No such file or directory,” even if you entered the command correctly. If you’re sure that’s the case, stop and post again.
Step 3
Once you’ve taken steps 2, and received the expected error messages, enter the following command:
mount -uw /
Again, you must get it exactly right. This time, there should be no output at all. If there is, you mistyped the command, or something else is wrong.
Step 4
When you’ve taken step 3 with no error message, press the up-arrow key until the command from step 2 (rm …) reappears. If you got everything right on the first try, you’ll need to press the key twice. Make sure the command is correct, then press return again. There should be no output. If there is any, make a note of it and post a reply.
Step 5
Enter the command:
exit
Press return. The text will start scrolling again, and then the system will reboot. Try again to log in.

Caps Lock Does Not Work

The caps lock key on my 4 yr old MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8) does not work. It did at one time. The Keyboard was replaced a long time ago but that did not solve it.
If I log out and then back on as another user, it does work.
Where do I start to look for the cause.
Alexander

Check in your keyboard settings on both accounts in System Preferences > Language and Text, and you may find a difference between the two regarding the behavior of the caps-lock key.
Or your caps-lock may be a little capricious, too...

One USB port does not work with external Disk or USB key

Hello,
Back to my iMAC there is 3 USB port. The second one - in the middle - does not work pluging an external Disk, an USB key or an iPOD nano. However it works well connecting a Wacom tablet.
Is there an explanation to this behaviour ?
More the keyboard is plugded on USB port 1 and the mouse on the keyboard. Time to time - especially at reboot - I have to unplugged the mouse and plugged again it in order it works.
In advance thank you for your answers
Regards

Since it does not work for three different devices, I will assume it is not something simple like a faulty USB cable. Since it does work for one device, I will also assume that the port is (at least partially) working.
As a test to narrow down the cause, I would try restarting from your Mac OS X installation disc (insert disc and restart with the C key held down).
At the first Installer screen (after language selection), go up the menu bar. Under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility. Now, connect the USB drive into that center port. Does it appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?
Please post back the result...

I have a mac which plays the boot sound but the screen stays black. Recovery mode does not work, as the keyboard is wireless. What do I do?

What it says in the title.
I have an older mac and it worked perfectly until about an hour ago when I shut it down because we needed the room dark for a presentation and the screen saver was putting out light.
Now it won't turn back on. It plays the start up music but the screen stays blank.
The CMD+OPT+R for recovery mode doesn't do anything, the keyboard is wireless so the command doesn't get to the computer and that's the only keyboard I have since that's the one it came with.
I'm looking at making a USB recovery disk but it says that I should click on "Options" in the Disk Utility but there is no options button or menu to click.
From here: OS X: About Recovery Disk Assistant in step 3 I get stuck.
Also it says that if I make a drive on this computer which has an older OS it might not work on the broken machine with Mavericks.
This machine literally worked and I turned it off and now it does not work and there seems to be nothing I can do... ***...

well, then recovery mode does not work. I've tried all the key combinations I've seen on line. Command+R, Command+Option+R, Command+Option+P+R, none of these work.
I don't believe there is anything we can do on a forum to help then, you need to take it into a AASP and have it professionaly diagnosed. If you don't know how to locate an AASP in your area you can begin by using Contact Apple for support and service
Good luck.

Lightroom 4 does not work with external editor

Hi All,
I am using Lightroom 4 and Photoshop elements 9 on Mac OSX. I upgraded from LR3 to LR4 a few weeks ago and since I updated I can not anymore use Photoshop Elements 9 as external editor. I did all setups, still does not work.
Anyone has an idea what could be the issue or did anyone experience the same issue?
Thanks,
Csaba

GPS Location does not work for external devices

It has been posted before, but I'll post again in case anyone has found a solution.
I am using an external device (XGPS150) to provide GPS to my Ipod Touch 4G. It worked great with iOS 5. It does not work reliably with iOS 6. I have to turn off and then turn on location services, and occasionally reboot the iPod to make it work. I have tried using iOS 6, 6.01, and 6.1 Beta 3, and the problem is present in all version. I wish Apple would fix the problem.

These previous discussions may shed some light on the problem.

Illustrator shortcuts not working with external keyboard?

I have a Mac keyboard attached to my macbook pro via USB. I use the CMD+Space shortcut to zoom when working on my laptop, but for some reason this short cut does not work? The SHIFT+Space shortcut still works to use the 'hand' tool.
Any ideas? I have been searching for hours. Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Do you have a windows mouse that you can plug into your laptop? Then you can option+scroll quite easily. It's kind of willnilly if you try it with a mac-mouse though.
