Shift-Lock Key Problem

Any other MBA users finding that you sometimes have to press the shift-lock key twice to get it to engage?
It is not a problem with the button because it works 100% of the time if I cycle it on and off, however, sometimes when I first press it, it does not seem to recognise the first press.

Hi,
simple reasoning. Quite often you incidentally hit the caps lock key while trying to hit the shift key, thus from then on all following letters are in UPPERCASE - so you have to press the key a bit longer before it is locked. less OFTEN PEOPLE shout at each other in discussions for example

  • Caps lock key problem

    In Mack Book pro - the CAPS lock key will have to be kept pressed for a long time. There is no way to get rid of this. Any of you if you face this problem please let me know how to solve this.

    See this similar discussion: Is there a way to disable this behavior? It is amazingly annoying.

  • Caps Lock Key Problem or Feature?

    just wondering if this is a new feature on Penryn Macbooks, but if i hit the CAPS LOCK Key too fast it doesnt activate or turn on, if i hit it slower, like leave the finger on it a bit longer it does, is this the same for everyone?

    Anyone else confirm this? and also does anyone find it annoying?

  • N97 lock key problem

    Whenever my phone turns off because of the empty battery I connect to my PC in rder to charge but when I turn it on the csreen lock key does not function. the phone start unlocked but when it get locked the key does not unlock the phone. So the ony way to go back to normal is removing the battery to switch off the pho and restart it.
    Is this a common issue?

    I have this exact same bug and basically this prevents me from using the device in a way that would be normal. Honestly, I paid quite some money for this machine, and it keeps annoying me with these relatively small, but very user un-friendly bugs.
    It almost certainly has to do with firmware upgrades, because I didn't have this particular bug before upgrading the firmware, although the older version had other bugs...
    It doesn't look promising...

  • Lion - num lock and caps lock keys problem

    Since installing lion I have to have num lock key and caps lock key turned on to type normally (otherwise I get all numbers if num lock off, or all caps if cap lock off). It's like the keys' functions have been reversed. (2.16 GHz MacBook).
    Any help much appreciated.

  • Problem with lock key.

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I would like to inform you that, I am facing problem in my lock key since from the last one year after apple change my i phone 5 due to sparking problem in phone at the time of charging. Then apple replace my phone but within few weeks i realize that my lock key not working properly then i have gone to apple service center but i was shocked when apple told me that some liquid spot found inside your i phone so we will not able to help you. I was shocked that apple give me this kind of completely negative response. I was never expect that apple behave like this. Apple give this ph by replaced my old one & now apple behaving like this. They never thought that customer not fool that he will use his ph in to the water.
    After one year I have read an article in apple support site that mostly i phone 5 got the same problem ( lock key problem)  and they are ready to change the lock mechanism for those i phone 5 having the same problem. I check my serial no also & found my phone is also eligible for the same service. I have go to the apple service center & give him my phone but i was shocked again when they also told me that sorry sir some liquid spot found in your phone we are not able to help you.
    I am not able to understand what happen to the apple services after sir stive jobs. I have no physical damage in my phone then why don't apple change the lock key mechanism if they already know that fault is totally from the apple end.
    I am just expecting that apple will take my issue seriously i am facing the problem since last one year but no one giving me positive response. I am still thinking that is their i have done any mistake for choosing the apple product. Is it the apple of sir stive jobs the people are talking about this.
    I am giving sone detail to you for your reference.
    Serial no. F18K85WBDTWD
    IMEI No. 01 355600 892277 1
    Waiting for your positive response.

  • Problem that starts with *apparent* sticking caps lock key

    I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro (two weeks outside of AppleCare, of course!).  Last night, it appeared the caps lock key was sticking. It would type in all caps even when I hit the button and the green indicator light went off. Moments later, I noticed that the option that shows you all the windows on the same screen was suddenly going very, very slow. I tried to restart but it started in safe mode - twice. It finally started correctly on the third or fourth reboot. I hoped it was a fluke.
    Unfortunately it's happening again and rebooting doesn't seem to fix it - I can't put in my password to login because it thinks I'm typing in all caps.
    Any ideas, please?  Thanks.

    This may enter the Apple Hall of Fame for stupid posts.  I spent a couple hours last night restarting the computer, trying restore etc....and really doing anything I could from clinton's link in order to identify the problem.  I'd even called our local store to let them know I would be there first thing in the morning (I'm boarding a plane in a few minutes and really needed my laptop for this trip).
    So after doing all of those things + removing the caps lock key to see if it was somehow manually stuck, I go the store this morning.  Virtual panic.  I needed a presentation off the laptop for a workshop tomorrow and I hadn't backed up since I created it...
    I enter the store, I begin to explain the situation in detail, I open up the laptop....
    And the guy at the store says "Did you notice your shift key is stuck down?".  Why No, I hadn't noticed that!  With a tiny wiggle and a tap, that key popped back into place and the computer worked fine.  The Safe Mode was happening because the shift key was down.

  • Keyboard Shift Key Problems - HP Envy 15

    My laptop - it is an HP Envy 15 and the product number is G6U23UA#ABA.  recently started having issues with the shift key. I just got this computer in August of this year so it's very new and still under warranty. I have not spilled anything on it and I take very good care of it so I believe it may be a software issue. When pressing the shift key it will not capitalize letters - I have to use the caps lock key. I also am not able to produce the any of these symbols - ! @ # $ & ( ) - on the keyboard since that requires the use of the shift key.
    Is there a fix for this problem? If not, is there a way for me to send in my laptop for repair since it is under warranty?
    Thank you.

  • N8 problem with side lock key

    Hi,
           Did anyone find any problem with N8 side locking key. Mine one has to be slided really hard to get it locked and unlocked, the mechanism is not as smooth as in the earlier phones.
    Trying to wrap people in the cocoon of seamless connectivity during their mobility.

    I also have this problem after installing version 5.0.0.508. It appears that I no longer have an option for locking the keyboard. When I select Options/Screen/Keyboard and select Left Side Convienence Key Options it does not show up in the list of selectable options.

  • I can't get a capital c when I press the shift key, but I can get one with the with the caps lock key.  Help

    I can't get a capital c when I press the shift key, but I can get one with the with the caps lock key.  Help

    Hi
    How its going?
    I understand that you are not able to get the capital letter c.
    I want you to change the keyboard and if you have got the warranty please replace at no charge.

  • When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. I can get a capital i only by pressing the cap lock key whats wrong.

    When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. the only way I can get a capital i is by using the caps lock key what is going on. Also from time to time my mouse acts like someone is sitting on it. this stops when i press the command key. i am using the lateist wireless mouse and keypad.

    does it only happen with the i key?
    if it doesnt then try presing shift first then i (or any key) second instead of at the same time.
    if it only happens with the i key then what i would do is take the keyboard and mouse to an apple store and ask them if they will hook it up on their computer to see if it is the keyboard or computer.
