Return key won't work

The return key will not function under one profile on my intel Imac. Enter key works fine and return key works under other profiles. Any thoughts on what is changed in the one profile to prevent it from working? Thanks in advance.

Return Key no longer works in sql windows or procedure editors.

The <return> key no longer works in my SqlDeveloper editors. Is there an easy fix? I tried resetting the Option for the carriage return but it did not change anything.

So if you go to your shortcut keys (Tools > Preferences > Shortcut Keys) and search for "Enter", what commands are associated with the Enter shortcut? If you have tried remapping the Enter key to something else, it may have removed the standard association with the "Insert New Line" command.
You can reset to the default (which should fix the problem, but lose any custom shortcuts) with More Actions (top right) > Load Keyboard Scheme > Default.

Page Up and Down keys won't work - have tried everything

My Page Up and Down keys won't work. I've tried hitting F7, the Fn key, checked that the "Always use cursor keys to navigate" box is not selected in the Advanced Options tab and made sure that the "Use autoscrolling" tab is selected. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox, tried hitting buttons F1 through to F12 and then checked that accessibility.warn_on_browsewithcaret is set to 'true'.
It also won't work in Internet Explorer - I have no idea what else to try. My Up/Down arrows are working, just not the Page Up/Page Down buttons. Please help, this is driving me nuts. It's only just started happening; I've never had a problem with it before!

What is the value of the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.browsewithcaret accessibility.browsewithcaret] on the about:config page?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

My "return" key doesn't work

My "return" key no longer works on my keyboard. When I first started having issues with it, I'd have to make sure to hit the key in the center in order for it to work. Then, that was only working sometimes and I'd have to hit the key pretty hard to get it to work. Now it doesn't work at all. It was never sticky or anything like that, it just seems to have gradually stopped working. It's the only key that I have a problem with, but it's a pretty significant one. For many programs, I'm able to get by using the enter key instead, but that doesn't work for all programs. I was wondering if there was an easy fix to my problem since I don't really have the extra money to replace the keyboard.
I'm not sure if this is a related problem or not, but in January, my ibook crashed. I could not boot it up without getting the kernel error. When I tried booting it up from the OS disk, it didn't recognize my hard drive, but my hard drive was still recognized in the Disk Utility. I was able to reinstall the OS, but lost everything in the process. The same thing happened again in April. It was around May that I started having the issue with my return key. I've had my iBook since January of 2003 and never had a single problem until this past January.
Any help/advice/etc. would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried cleaning underneath the key? Sometimes things get stuck there and the key becomes inoperable. I've used canned air, tweezers, and a small paintbrush to do the job.
Changing the keyboard is not difficult; in fact, it it one of the few Apple approved DIY repairs. If cost is an issue check on eBay for a replacement.

Arrow Keys Won't Work on Many Websites

On many game sites, the arrow keys won't work at all, so I'm not able to play. The hardware is fine, they work fine in email and Word, just not on the game sites. Do I have a setting wrong? I've checked everything (I think....)
Thanks!!!

The arrow keys are working for me in the game on http://www.ezone.com/games/jazzy/gamecode.htm. The arrow keys work slugishly for me in the game I tried on www.freeonlinegames.com/play/3350.html. The third sight seems to require registration so I did not try it.
Freeonline games was more responsive for me using Firefox, you might want to give this browser a try and see how it behaves.

HT1379 Some keys won't work?

What causes some of my keys not to work?

You'll need to provide some additional information .... what keys won't work, what is running on the system when that happens, does it only happen after an event, like waking from sleep or ? If you reboot or shut your system down and restart does that fix it for some period of time?

Presumably you are connecting it from the *Dock Connector.* In this case, the controls on the car stereo should be controlling the iPod and the iPod's controls are disabled.
If you are using the car's connection interface, consult the car manual to find out how to control the iPod. If you are using an adaptor between the iPod and car, ask the adaptors installer or manufacturer.

Sounds like it could be a hardware problem.
Try a restart or reset to see if that helps. If not, contact Apple Support.
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, 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).
No data will be lost.

Upgraded OS from Windows 2000 to XP, now my Registration Key won't work

Any reason why my registration key won't work when I upgraded my OS from Windows 2000 to Windows XP? Oh, and I also upgraded the QuickTime application.

QuickTime 6.5 registration will not work with QuickTime 7.
You'll need to purchase a new "Pro" key or revert to QT 6.5 Pro.

Fn F7 keys won't work in BootCamp on MBP

I'm trying to use a projector with my MBP to teach CAD in BootCamp. The problem is that I can't mirror my screen when using bootcamp, like I can in OS X. I can get an extension of my screen, but can't display the contents of my screen on the projector.
Normally you would use the fn F7 keys to toggle through the display options, but in Windows XP the fn F7 won't work.
Does anyone have any ideas? A remapping program for MBP? Please Help.

Have you tried the windows way (right click on desktop > properties > settings and uncheck Extend my Windows desktop... ?

Return key does not work in address bar after updating to Firefox 10

I just updated to Firefox 10. The return key will no longer work in the address bar. I have to manually click on the "go to" arrow. Are there any fixes for this? Thanks!

Hi,
Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/918088#answer-308802 this.]

The Up Arrow Key Won't Work!

Whenever I try to use the up arrow key on my MBP, it doesn't respond. For example, on any application I use, it won't work. But, for some reason, whenever I play Empire At War, it works perfectly.
What should I do?

To be honest there is a lengthy process involved. If you are able to call APPLE support. try that. If not let me know and I will continue.

Hello lillibitt67
To rule out any Software issue I prefer you should Reload your Device Software and see if that helps otherwise you need to contact your Service provider for repair.So please try it first.
