Scroll lock on apple keyboard

Is there a way to mock a "scroll lock" on an apple keyboard? I need it for a remote linux app.
Thanks!

I have the exact same keyboard and issue. SHIFT+F14 did not work. I also saw another suggetion for CTRL+F14. That didn't work either. I've tried a bunch of keys and sequences to try and find it by chance, but no luck so far. Did anyone ever find a fix or workaround? Is there a key mapping software or app that would let me make a key sequence to match that of a scroll lock under Windows? I'm brand new to the mac world so any info on how to go about finding a fix would be helpful too. Thanks!
Oh, one other thing, somewhere I saw mention of an "extended keyboard" for the mac that includes a scroll lock key. Anyone know what that is all about? I would assume that the mac keyboards can send the Windows scroll lock command if the exteneded keyboard can do it.

Lenovo W510 scroll lock stuck - no scroll lock key

I know this has been brought up before, but I cannot remove the scroll lock from Excel as there is no scroll lock button. I have tried Fn+C, Fn+delete to no avail. It must be there somewhere??
Help wanted please.
Solved!

Hi, Anton8
I did some research and found this document from Microsoft that may help. If Scroll Lock is turned on, but there is no Scroll Lock on your keyboard, then you may want to try using the On-Screen Keyboard and see if it is enabled there, There is also a setting on the status bar that should allow you to disable it.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Apple Aluminum keyboard--scroll lock

I have had my new mini for awhile and recently added the new keyboard. I don't normally use the scroll-lock feature, but have on occasion in the past. Now, for no reason I can discern, all of my Excel sheets have the Lock ON, but I can no longer find how, on this keyboard, to disable the function. Help!!

My son came up with the solution; in case anyone ever runs into thi!. I turned off QuicKeys, then pressed Command F14, then turned QuicKeys back on.

Disabling scroll lock in New Imac keyboard

Hello world,
I'm recently using Office 2011 for Mac and I have a problem with excel. Accidentally I made a mac key combination and I disabled the scroll lock. I want to enable it again in order to move the cell selected using the arrow keys. I can not use Ctrl-F14 (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/cdb_winkeys.html) because the new keyboard only have from F1 to F12.
How can I made to solve it?
Thanks so much!

Solved by the moment... with a virtual keyboard

SCROLL LOCK from a normal KEYBOARD

Hi I need to be able to turn on and off at my leisure the SCROLL LOCK KEY.
How is it possible that I can not activate this key even with the virtual keyboards ?
there must be the possibility to map this key to another key on the keyboard. I need to use this key SCROLL LOCK to work with excel and beyond.SCRO
Plus if you buy a keyboard ( not apple ) that uses that key for some functions, such functions can I use this ?
seems absurd to me that there is a possibility via the terminal, via dedicated app or other way to be able to map this key on the keyboard of the Mac. in particular find it ridiculous that this problem is present only on Mac OS X. I have a MacBookPro 15 "early 2011 with OS vers , 10.7.5

A menu title means to write the available menu item (such as Print) as you see it in it's menu.
However, scroll lock does not have a menu in the Finder or anywhere.
You're right there. Dead end?
But looking at Mac Help with scroll lock as the topic, I found that Control + F14 is the keyboard equivalent for scroll lock. You'll find this under "Windows Keys on a Mac Keyboard."
Whether you can remap that I don't know.

Scroll Lock function with ultra thin mac keyboard

In the Boot Camp Installation Guide (on pg. 17) there is a table showing PC key commands and the corresponding Apple keyboard commands for both external and built in keyboards.
The table shows F15 to be the single stroke for scroll lock.
Yet, I can't seem to get it to work.
We want to use the scroll lock function to work with x-Fire while playing Halo to chat with other players (something that is easily done on a pc).
I tried some of the other Apple commands -- and get no response from any of them.
Suggestions?

I realized it is simply a matter of Windows not recognizing the Mac keyboard.
Anyway the warning window went away and isn't an issue any longer.
The keyboard works just fine.

I have a new wireless keyboard but it doesn't have the "Scroll Lock" key I need to work my printer.Any ideas please. I'm new it iMac.

I have new iMac with a wireless keyboard. It doesn't have a "Scroll lock`' key (hot key) which I need to work a shared printer controlled by a manual share switch. does anyone have any suggestions to help please?

There is a key combination that operates the scroll lock function on your keyboard, try it and see if it works:
The reason that the manual switch is mapped to the scroll lock is because it is a rarely used (sometimes never used) function, unfortunately that is exactly why it is vanishing, gone on some keyboards already.Consult the documentation for the switch, see if the function controlled currently by the scroll lock key can be remapped to another key.

Scroll lock on extended mac keyboard

I use bootcamp dual booting 7ultimate/snowL in an Intel Macbook Pro. MS Excel has a screwy feature that makes the arrow keys move the page instead of move to cells if the scroll lock is on. If you are frustrated by this the extended mac keyboard scroll lock is toggled by the F15 key.

Remap "Scroll Lock" on external PC keyboard

I've got my iBook and a PC laptop on an IOGEAR KVM so I can use my much-beloved MS Keyboard Pro and external mouse with both computers.
There are two key options for switching between computers, Scroll Lock (the default) or Ctrl. I can't use Ctrl because I use it all the time on the Windows side for keyboard shortcuts and I find my self inadvertently switching computers.
But the default Scroll Lock key turns down the brightness on the iBook. So everytime I double-tap the key to switch, the iBook gets dimmer. I know that I can press the Pause key to increase the brightness again, but I'd like to avoid the problem completely by remapping the Scroll Lock key.
I've found a few different utilities which I guess will help (such as Ukelele) but I'm quite a fish out of water trying to use these apps.
I don't really need to do advanced custom keyboard layouts, just change the function of this one key. Can anyone offer a suggestion for this?

My keyboard has gone haywire, shift keys and scroll Lock keeps turning on by themselves!

Hello, recently I have a problem typing with my laptop. Mutliple times a day, both of the shift keys, and the scroll lock key turns on by themselves. These are the problems I face when typing: 1. Unwanted text is highlighted2. Letters are capital although caps lock is not on.3. When I try to browse in Google Chrome, text gets deleted and random windows start to pop up4. For some reason the word "QWEPRUIO" starts appearing sometimes when I type.
5. Someimes while I type, suddenly the text gone missing and an asterik * appears.6. Also when this happens, my wi-fi gets turned off automatically. IT guys at my work place tried fixing it but we can't seem to find the problem source.Please help me, this is getting rather annoying especially I am using the laptoo for work!It took me more than half an hour to type a decent email to my client Thanks!

By any chance did something get spilled onto the keyboard (even a small amount)? Liquids can definitely cause this type of issue (Trust me, I know from experience, I have kids.). If you rule that out then open the System Preferences and click on the Keyboard settings, put a check in the 'Show Input menu in menu bar' box. This will add a menu bar pull down menu that will allow you to 'Show Keyboard Viewer.' If you select the 'Show Keyboard Viewer' option does the keyboard layout match the keyboard you are using? When you press the keys you are having issue with does the corresponding key light up on the keyboard viewer? Please post your results.

Apple Keyboard number lock issue

I have my apple keyboard plugged into a IOGEAR device that allows me to double click on the "control" key and switch the keyboard, mouse and montor from my MacBookPro to my Vista PC. All works well except the keyboard numbers pad. When I'm on the MacBookPro the number pad works for numbers and when I'm on the PC it seems to need the num lock key on. I can't find the num lock key. What key should I use?
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.9) Number Lock Key

Hi, sandyman444 -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
On my keyboard the Number Lock function is shown as being on the Clear key, the key immediately above the 7 on the keypad. Shift-Clear, Option-Clear, or Shift-Option-Clear may enable that (Option = Alt).

Apple keyboard locked number pad

I have been locked out of the number keys on my apple keyboard, though all the other function keys on the number pad work as expected. There is no unlock button on my apple keyboard. This only happens on my account. All other accounts on the computer don't have this problem.

Virginia,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you checked System Preferences>Universal Access>Mouse>Mouse Keys: "Off"?
