Shift locked but not on keyboard

I'm unable to access lowercase letters on my Mac Pro 8-core. I've tried multiple keyboards that I know are working but to no avail, everything responds as though shift is pressed. Anyone with any suggestions?
Thanks,
Andy

All OK, a disk repair from the installation disc sorted the problem.

WI do nort understand what you mean by "not the keyboard" Please provide clarification.

Album cover present when the ipod not locked, but not when locked

I bought a new 4rth generation ipod touch, and I bought new music and synced it. The new 2 albums, when I play the songs, I can see the album cover when my ipod is not locked, but when locked, I only see my wallpaper and there is no album cover...
why is this?

Just wanted to say I'm having the same problem. It's not detrimental by any standards but it does bother my OCD a tad. Hopefully it's a small glitch that can be resolved.

G500 indicator light works for caps lock, but not for num lock

I have G500 laptop running windows 8.1 64 bit. I have noticed that there is no indicator light for when num lock is on. The light on the front of the computer under the touchpad comes on when caps lock is active, but not for num lock. Is there any indicator for num lock on this computer?

Hi Kimikat730,

Nokia x3 help! menu button works for lock but not ...

i have a new nokia x3, around 2 months old, after restarting the phone one time, the main button (the menu button) works for locking/unlocking and even makes the keytone sound when you press it, but i cant open up the menu, its really annoying because without the menu i cannot access the phone!
i can still make calls/text messages, but i really want to fix this.
thanks in advance

just to clarify, the menu button works such as when i slide the phone closed, the 'lock' option appears, and the button works then, but when i unlock, i goes back to the usual 'menu' option which just doesnt work.
i can use text/calls from the shortcut buttons such as left/down/right and some buttons work on in certain places, such as when the 'send' option appears for sending a text.
i have tried to soft reset using the code, before, and i have tried restarting it.
none of them worked, does anyone have a solution, also does anyone know the hard reset code?
thanks in advance.

Please close your non-locked questions properly, then nine or five or even three open ones should be sufficient. I will still close the locked one for you, but please make sure you understand these documents before posting further:

Ive restored factory defualts and updated the firmware but to no avail... any ideas are grealy appreciated

First, Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.
If that doesn't do it,
This is for a Mac that won't shut down. Launch Activity Monitor (or Process Viewer if you're running a pre-Panther OSX) and see if there are any active applications besides Activity Monitor ( items with icons next to the name), select them, and click Quit Process.
If an app won't quit by clicking Quit, click Force Quit. Then try shutting down again.
If that doesn't work start killing off system-managed programs ( items without icons ) . Be sure to quit only the programs your user account is running; don't quit anything identified as "root" or "nobody" in the User column- and whatever you do, don't quit any of the following : loginwindow, Window Server, ATSServer, or SystemUIServer, which make up the foundation of Mac OS.
Quit one process at a time, and then shut down after each kill until you find success!
I wish you luck!
p.s.If you install two of a single user licensed third-party application on different computers which are networked, this symptom may occur. If that is the case, a solution is to perform "Erase and Install" for both computers.

Not finding keyboard

I can't sign in because the iMac does not recognize my keyboard, track pad or magic mouse. It will recognize a logic tech mouse. I have lion installed. What should I do? It did recognize them all before, then started droping the mouse. I think I might have turned Bluetooth off. It found them when I entered disk repair. Now can't do that.

That's correct. As a matter of fact I used the wireless mouse to navigate to this page and I'm using it now.. I am currently using a wired apple keyboard to discuss this problem. Could there be a conflict between the wireless and wired? I've tried disconnecting the wired keyboard but it doesn't seem to activate the wireless.The other possibility is maybe bluetooth isn't setup on the windows side of Bootcamp. Could that be the reason? When I go to the control panal of windows it shows the mouse connected but not the keyboard. It then searches for any other bluetooth devise but can't find any.

USB keyboard shift keys suddenly not working

For some reason, when I woke up my MacBook Pro this morning, both shift keys on my aluminium USB keyboard were not working. I'm using the keyboard with a Magic Mouse and LED cinema display connected to my MacBook. When I hold either shift key in combination with any other key, either nothing is typed, or there will be random characters typed, occasionally.
I ran AppleJack on auto to see if there were any problems. There were a few preferences it corrected, but nothing major was wrong. I connected the keyboard to a friend's MacBook Pro, and the shift keys did not work on his machine either. Caps Lock does work. I've tried canned air. I don't remember spilling anything on it.
Any idea about what I can try to get it working, or is it broken? Thanks,
-Jeff

Try resetting the PRAM. Info here:

Apple wireless keyboard OK with iPhone, but not iPad2

My wireless keyboard types correct symbols on my iphone 5, but not on my iPad2. It does type the correct letters, but most of the symbols (both when in "lower case" and caps lock) are different from what's on the keyboard. How can I adjust my iPad2 so the keyboard types the correct symbols. Virtually all the **** numbers plus symbol keys type symbols different from what's on the keys, though most of the symbols are covered by some other keys. It's just not feasible to go searching by typing 10 or 20 keys to find one symbol, and then not to know whether to use the Shift, Ctrol, Option or Command or maybe even fn and then which key to guess will get the symbol I need.
Please advise.
Thanks,
dan

Thanks for replying, very kind. I'm unable to log into my account.. As a guest, I'm not able to get access to any of my system preferences.
I think my imac has accidentally paired with my new apple tv remote.. I bought apple tv yesterday, was very excited but now wish I hadn't connected it. I'm unable to work on my imac which is very problematic on a workday.
How can I unpair the apple tv remote from my imac if I cannot get access to my system preferences to unpair any devices?

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.

Wireless keyboard caps lock issue (not LED related)

i just bought an iMac last week and I'm having a weird issue with caps locks. It seems like that particular key needs to be pressed harder than the rest of the keys to register a keystroke. If I hit it lightly, the key will depress but the keystroke won't register and the LED light won't come on. Any other key, even if I hit it very lightly, as long as it was pressed down, the keystroke is registered,
I found the right amount of force where I can press it down like 10 times and it won't register the keystrokes at all. When I'm typing fast, I'll have to go back to capitalize almost 80% of the letter that need capitalizing even though I hit the caps lock key while I was typing. All the "I"s, the first letters of every sentence and the first letters of proper names.
I've had plenty of keyboards, some wireless and I've never had this issue, nor have I had it on my Macbook. I'm just wondering if this is how it was designed to work or if I have a faulty keyboard that I need to go and replace.

Hi Guys
Glad I've just found these posts. Got a new 27" iMac just before Christmas. Greatly relieved that everything worked despite all the reports of cracked screens, etc. BUT - only small problem was the Caps Lock light not always coming on. Rang Apple and got a replacement. Now today I'm having same problems - first the light froze and wouldn't go off. Then it wouldn't come on. I've now tried your advice of switching off the keyboard and taking out the batteries. Works OK now. Hopefuly it'll stay that way. Only thing is - pity Apple couldn't have given me that advice. Reading these posts, there is clearly an ongoing problem with the caps lock light on the wireless keyboard. A problem thats been around for months. Clearly Apple's poilicy, as always, is to admit nothing until it comes up with a fix. Pity that policy appears to extend to not even telling their own employees that there is a problem ...

Wireless keyboard caps lock light not working

Hey, said it all in the title but here's the story...
Got home today and realized that the caps lock LED don't light up anymore. Has anyone else had similar problems? If so, how was your situation rectified?
The keyboard still works fine, don't think its a bad enough problem to have it replaced or be without it for ages. Could see if apple will allow a straight swap at the shop...

I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

I have an optical mouse that came with my Mac Pro, the only thing plugged into the USB port on the keyboard. After a year of working normally, the trackball all of a sudden stopped scrolling down. It scrolls up just fine, but not down. Any thoughts?

Well
I tried all of the suggestions, sort of. I did not have alcohol wipes, but I did take alcohol and pour some ona white paper towel and then rolled the mouse touch ball aroound and that finally cleared up the problem. Just inverting it on paper did not do the reick, it needed some help with the alcohol. Of course the probelm is the debris that gets inside and it really needs to come out.
This is a huge problem for RIM devices users too.

3rd gen nano. Lock click wheel volume control but NOT track control???

My title basically says it all. I have a 3rd gen Nano that I want to use solely for a car and it won't be removed. Problem? The track control has to be done on the iPod itself as the car stereo won't do it, but the volume can be controlled by the car's head unit. That said I want the iPod volume to always be on max. Apparently the volume lock feature isn't what I'm looking for, nor is the hold switch. I want to lock the volume from being controlled by the scroll wheel but still be able to change tracks using the scroll wheel... without having to go into a menu or anything. The iPod will eternally be on shuffle and any track changes will just be skipping songs... and all done blindly just by touch... hence why it's driving me nuts I keep scrolling the volume down. Hope that makes some sense. I'm long-winded and wordy but not always clear. Lol

The system won't seem to let me post this anywhere... it's saying I'm not allowed whatever that means. Exception being this community. So sorry if I pi** everyone off by listing in the wrong location.
