S6000 external keyboard keys repeating

I have the S6000 with the external keyboard and the keys tend to repeat most of the time, even with a single tap. Is there a setting that I am missing? The virtual keyboard works fine.

I have found that my BT keyboard starts to repeat when it is low on charge. Charging it solves the problem.

Detecting external keyboard Key Down Events in Ipad2 without EditText Field.

I am trying to detect key pressed for an external keyboard (bluetooth) in IPad2 , I was only able to do so when the focus is on EditText Field.
Without the edit text field , the key down events are not captured by the program . Is there any work around for this issue .

Keyboard key repeat very slow after immigration

Hi everybody,
when I got my macbook with Lion, I changed the keyrepeat to a bit higher speed, because I think the default is a bit to slow.
Then I changed my Harddrive and immigrated my user profile, except the User Data folders...
Then, I changed had to change my UID to make my old Userdata available again, and I guess, something may be went wrong here...
Wenn I change the keyrepeat speed in the keyboard preferences, there is no effect at all. It stays at the same speed, even if I turn of the keyrepeat.
Has anyone an idea, what I can check here?

Hm, ok, I cheered to soon.
It looks like it helps only for a few minutes??? I have to type the command and than log back in. If I test the key repeat within the shell it is perfect for my needs, but after a few minutes, it switches back to the old speed... That kind of *****....
Is there also an option to uncheck "This solved my question", otherwise I guess I have to open an new thread...

Keyboard's key repeat feature doesn't work in Audition

For Audition CS6, I've reassigned zoom-in and -out to the keys "R" and "T" (like on Pro Tools). It does zoom. However, when holding down a key to zoom in or out (R or T), the key repeat function doesn't work. I don't think the key repeat function works at al within Audition CS6. Is this so?
My keyboard's keys DO repeat in all other programs though. I like to zoom in quickly to either the playhead or to the IN or OUT of a selection. Unfortunately, the end result is a mere one-zoom instance per one key click (down then up) instead of what our PC/Mac's keyboard's key repeat function could do (when using Pro Tools): allowing you to zoom in or out quickly by utilizing the computer system's keyboard key repeat function. As it is, I'm much slower having to "tap-tap-tap-tap-tap..." to zoom in and out. Intolerable!
The mouse scroll wheel DOES zoom in/out smoothly though, oddly enough.

I just checked for the option to "zoom in on the play head," but couldn't
find anything. I'm on the latest version of CS6 (5.0.2 build 7). I see
"Synchronize selection, zoom level, and playhead *across files *in the
Waveform Editor."
I just tried checking and unchecking that, trying it on a single piece of
audio in the Waveform view. But the scroll wheel zoom feature seems to
have a mind of its own. I want to always be able to zoom directly to the
playhead*. *That is, say I zoom out quickly via my scroll wheel. Great.
That works fast and well. I go to zoom back in to where the playhead is
moving (playing). And say, then, my cursor a couple of inches before it in
the full zoomed-out view. Mouse cursor is in the general area of the
playhead zoomed fully out as I am, but when I scroll back in, it zooms in
not to where the playhead is, but waaaay out in front.

Unwanted Key Repeating

I have a problem. My iBook keyboard is prone to key repeating. Unwanted key repitions or strokes. Examples: "Foor" instead of "for," "iin" instead of "in" etc. Now, I know I'm not the greatest typist around, but I NEVER had this happen with my PB 12 inch G4. Of course, its one really redeeming feature was its keyboard. Responsive but not overly responsive.
Here are my system settings for my keyboard:
"Key Repeat Rate: Slow"
Delay Until Repeat: Long."
Are there other settings I should use or anything else I can tweak? I do love my iBook G4 14 inch much better than my Little Al, but Lil Al sure had a nicer keyboard!

Try resetting the pram, that may help [restart
holding apple option+PR.] Also consider a bluetooth
keyboard if you have to type a lot it sure's handy!
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried resetting PRAM. Might retry it again.

Keyboard keys and shortcut repeating

Hi guys, on my macbook pro (probably 1.5 year's old) I'm having a very annoying issue. Quite often, usually when I type quickly, the key get stuck and keeps repeating, this happens also with short-cuts. I thought it was an hardware issue but it happens also with an external keyboard. I looked around and it seems there is no firmware or update I can install on my machine which accordingly to Software Update is up to date.
I read somewhere, unfortunately I don't remember where, that the problem happened after having install some virtualization software. Unfortunately this is a company computer and I'm not aware about all its software history but the only virtualization software I installed and it is present at the moment is VirtualBox.
Any idea how I could sort this out?
Thanks a lot, chr

Best bet is an Apple Authorized repair shop or a reseller. There is no indication at Apple's website that they sell parts directly.

If you have records that show that you've taken your MacBook Pro in for a year to fix the machine, I would escalate the problem to Apple Customer Relations - unfortunately I don't have a number for Spain.
It would only seem logical to me that if you've been trying to have the machine repaired during the time that the 'recall' was in effect that you should be eligible for a new logic board. But only customer relations will be able to make that call.
Good luck - take the issue as high up the food chain as you can and see what happens.

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key and due to an injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She is using a text to speech app to verbaliz

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

You cannot.

Keys on external keyboard not working

Hi folks,
I recently purchased a USB keyboard (extended numeric) for my MacBook Pro, and all has been good until this morning, when the V and Y keys (both lower and upper case) have stopped working, i.e. when I try typing with them, nothing appears. With the V key, the Edit button flashes, and nothing happens (that I can notice, anyway) when I try the Y key. (Thankfully my macbook keyboard is all okay.)
I wondered if the keyboard might have shorted, but all other keys are working okay.
Any thoughts?

Yes, the built in keyboard works perfectly well, both with the external keyboard connected and disconnected. I'm hoping the external one isn't beyond help... it's such a pain to have to replace!

Outlook 2011 and Enter keys on external keyboard

I'm currently running Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro. I connect a USB external keyboard and monitor and run in clamshell mode (laptop closed). Using Outlook 2011, I have noticed that the Enter keys (one near the alpha keys and one in Numpad) behave differently. For example, when typing an email, if I press the Enter key near the alpha keys, the cursor moves to a new line (behaves as expected). Pressing the Enter key on Numpad, the email gets sent (behaves unexpectedly).
Another example: when typing an appointment (or meeting request), pressing the Enter key near the alpha keys results in the cursor moving to a new line (behaves as expected). Pressing the Enter key on Numpad results in the appointment saving and closing (behaves oddly).
I don't see any way of changing this behavior within Outlook 2011, nor do I see how to change this from within System Preferences. Any suggestions?
One last curiousity for this issue: not all people seem to experience the same thing. I have spoken with three other individuals running the same setup (and hardware). One person's Enter keys both behave as expected (new line), one person's Enter key behaves similar to mine, and one person's Enter keys behave differently (Enter keys behave as expected in email, but oddly in appointments).

External keyboard and modifier keys

I like to swap my "Ctrl" and "Command" modifiers keys and I've never had a problem doing this until upgrading to Lion. If I disconnect and reconnect my external keyboard sometimes my modifier keys are reset.
Lion lets you change modifier keys per keyboard which is where I think the problem lies. I also have duplicate listings for my external keyboard and I'm not sure how to delete the duplicates.
Does anyone know how to fix these issues?

Also, I'm not sure if it matters but my mouse and keyboard are connected through a USB hub which then connects to the Macbook Air.

Mapping keys on the Apple external keyboard

I use my rMBP (Mid 2012) with an external monitor and an Apple full-sized wired keyboard. On the actual laptop keyboard, the key to the right of the F12 key, is the power button. On the external keyboard it is the CD/DVD Eject key. I would like it to function as a power key, like on the actual rMBP keyboard. Is this possible? (OS is Mavericks).

Anyone figured this out yet? I too lost my ability to brighten/darken my screen with F1 and F2 since upgrading to 10.6.
There's absolutely no setting in Display preferences either. All I can do is create a new color profile which is overkill each time I want to slightly increase or decrease the brightness as my office light from my window changes throughout the day.
So many things have broken with 10.6....one would think Apple would have done more testing with its own software and controls before rolling it out!

Holding down keys on keyboard doesnt repeat

Any ideas how to change this option? When I hold down the arrow keys in a field on a form and it will not scroll. Any key I hold down does not repeat. I have to select delete key 5 times to delete 5 different characters in a row. Is there a setting somewhere that I screwed up?

Check System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard. What is your key repeat rate?

HT201406 How can I use my external keyboard opposed to the internal key board on the screen.

I have a Zagg IPad, and the problem I'm having is the external keyboard that sits in the case will not work. The internal keyboard on the screen is the only one that works. How can I change the keyboard to work from the base instead of using the keyboard on the screen.

Have you ever paired them? If the keyboard and iPad have been paired, just turn the keyboard on, hit a key and give it a few seconds to power up and connect.
If you've never paired them then there should have been instructions with the keyboard to tell you how to do that.
If it just recently stopped working, you might try charging your keyboard.

Testing keyboard connector with external power key

My PowerBook recently would not wake from sleep. I was unable to use the usual cmdctrlpwr to reboot it, so I removed the battery. Since then, it has not responded in any way to my pressing the power key. (The battery has all its LEDs and the power adapter turns colors when plugged in.)
I've had a few keyboard connector problems recently, so I tried reseating the connector to no avail. Additionally, an external USB keyboard's power key had no effect. My question is this: should the PowerBook G4 17" 1.33GHz respond to a power key on an external keyboard? If it should, then I can stop working on the keyboard connector and think about the power system and logic board.
I can't find any listing of computers on which this behavior is supported; if I missed something, please let me know. Thanks!

most likely it's not supposed to work with the external power button on the keyboard.
if you are removing top case, there are "power button" contacts in the lower middle of the logic board which can be used for testing.
no power issue could be caused by bad keyboard/keyboard cable, since the power button connects thru the keyboard cable.
any taking aprt of laptops at home is risky though and could cause more damage.
