[Solved]Keyboard layout screwed up and some keys don't work
After I reinstalled xorg-server 1.5.3-1 and installed xf86-input-evdev 2.0.1-1 and xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.1-1 some of my keys don't work and keyboard layout screwed up. I had finnish (fi) layout, but now it's "us". Arrows, insert- delete- home- end- pg up- pg down- print screen- scroll lock- pause- keys don't work. All characters behind Alt Gr + "" don't work either.
How to fix this?

[SOLVED] Keyboard-shortcuts "alt+." and "alt+d" don't work under X11
Hi,
I switched from gentoo to archlinux and everything is running fine except my following really annoying problem:
The keycombinations "alt+." (insert the last parameter from the line before) and "alt+d" (delete the word under the cursor) don't work under X11 (in my xterm).
They work before I start X with bash and zsh btw...
My "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-keyboard.conf" looks like
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
It is really annoying without these keys working and I have no clue where to look. Can anyone give me a hint?
Thanks

I have an ancient laptop (from 2005) that has my entire music library. This laptop barely works and some keys don't type anymore. How can I get all this music transferred to another computer, or available to me on the cloud?
No... do not move programs.
About the iTunes library files
Your iTunes library files track the media you add to iTunes, how you've organized it, and other information such as playlists. By default, these two files are in your iTunes folder:
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

Tabulation and arrow keys don�t work through ssh
Hi!
I just got a solaris 10 on a v240. But I loggin through SSH, tabulation key and arroy keys don� t work. It � s quite nasty because I cannot just repeat a command for example, I�ve to type it allover again. I� m quite surprised because I have an old solaris where it does work without problem. Should I change something in the configuration?
ThanksIs your shell one that you want?
csh and sh don't support autocompletion or arrow histories. you'd need tcsh or bash or something.

Some keys don't work in combination with Shift
Okay so I have the Pavilion Sleekbook 15-b011nr
Serial Number: [Personal Information Removed]
Product Number: C6N92UA
and today I noticed certain keys don't work in combination with the left Shift for example, Shift+S (both left and right), Shift+M, Shift+Z, Shift +X, Shift+C don't work, shift+F does work but gives me this FV. same with j it gives me JM instead. I installed an updated bios, ran a diagnostic test using F2 and under the compenant test for the keyboard it failed and gave me this
keyboard test failed
failure Id # U375BD-6m96P5-MFPX1F-G03B03
product id # C6N92Ua#aba
now while trying to type all this I found other letters now working as well as me not being able to input the semicolon with either shift key. frustrating since I got this laptop in June so it's still under warranty. Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so how do i fix mine? I'm pretty tech savvy so feel free to let me know, or is my only option is a replacement from HP?
Thanks!Hi hzapata, I know that it work fine, after Load preset, but why You lost the default configs?

Bluetooth Keyboard - Some key don't work
Hi friends,
I have a 2011 (intel based) 27'' iMac with the bluetooth keyboard. I have two non working keys (control and 1).
There's a way to repair it? My iMac doesn't have warranty and I would like to repair it. What can I do??
Note: I remove the key and see everything fine, but still don't work.
Sorry for my bad english.

Touchpad and some keys won't work, other weird problems
I have a Satellite A665. Last night it started randomly playing and then turning off a DVD that was in the drive. I ejected the DVD, but now there is a constant high pitched tone coming out of the speakers, and the touchpad can't be used to open anything. The touchpad can still control the cursor, and I can left click to open things. Also, the internet connection has disconnected and the key used to open the connection doesn't work. Pressing and holding the Fn key doesn't do anything.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks.Shut down the computer and try again. It almost sounds like something is on the keyboard, or maybe something got spilled on the keyboard. Try an external keyboard and see if that works. Try booting from the CD or a flash drive and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, this is a software problem. If not, it's the hardware.

Fn Keys and Eject Keys Don't Work in Windows
I'm fairly good to go with Snow Leopard and Boot Camp and on installing Windows on my wife's 13" MacBook Pro that I finally convinced her to get, I had a "hard drive not big enough" during the SP3 update BUT found a solution for that, however, all the threads I read on the above topic related to Boot Camp versions of the 2.x genre and I have 3.x genre. So, does anyone have any ideas how to fix this on the Windows side?
- All function keys (excepted F3) are non-functional.
- Eject key does not work
- No right click of any kind other than with a mouse
- No scroll features
- No Boot Camp icon in the tray
Lastly (and just an add in) on the OSX side, her Mac HD icon was not there since the Boot Camp assistant was launched AND dummy me (I did this once before - I know idiot) tried to drag it from Finder to the desk top and exploded it. So, how do I get the Mac HDD and icon back in both Finder AND the Desktop.
Thanks in advance for those who have an offering.Actually I didn't trash Boot Camp, it never populated in the tray after the install. Moreover, the thing i destroyed was the MacHDD from the desktop and from the Go Finder listing and want to get that puppy back
Boot Camp is running just that the F keys other than F3 are not functional nor is the Eject key . . PLUS . . as I say there is no tap to click, not two finger scrolling, and no 3 or 4 finger functions operational features.

What do you do when you spill water on your key board and some keys no longer work?
I spilt coffee on my key board I few hours ago and just wiped it off. It worked fine when I did that and then I left it for a few hours just on stand by. Now have come back to go on the laptop the key board doesn't work. Only a few of the keys work but because of that I cant get on the laptop because I cant enter my password. What do I do?
Hopefully you havent fryed your machine and I would suggest if your mac boots up ok try pluging a usb keyboard in or a wireless one to it and see if that gets you out of the fix.
I will need cleaning by a profesional though I would imagine
What i suspect has happened is the coffee has dried with the heat of the machine and is blocking the electrical conections through the keys
Hope this helps -
Select multiple channels for one task - control and shift keys don't work
Hi,
Following advice from several other posts, I'm trying to select multiple physical channels from the dropdown list so that I can then use the "unflatten channel string" function later on. It looks like if I hold down either shift or cntrl I should be able to select multiple channels from the list, however, this doesn't work for me. I tried going into the "key navigations" property for the task channel control but it doesn't have any associations listed. Has anyone else come across this and found a fix? I have previously got around this by stating multiple channels with a colon (eg. ai1:3) but this doesn't work for the unflatten function.
Thanks,
Claire.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Thanks for your reply Dennis, I see what you mean, unfortunately that doesn't solve my problem so I'm missing something else. I've attached my VIs. I expected that the output from the unflattenstring block would be an array of either the channel references or the names I had given them, and that therefore the "array size" in the 4th pane would be "9" (equal to the number of channels). Instead the output is a an "unnamed task#(some number)" when I look at it with a probe. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding how the task naming works?
THanks,
Claire.

Keyboard Problems, Control-Option-Command Keys Don't work
Hello and thanks.
Have a iMac 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Due with 2GB of RAM running 10.5.8 and suddenly the control-option-command keys are not working on my keyboard.
Working fine and then suddenly no keys on my last row worked, including space bar. Scoured message boards and tried all fixes. Substituted keyboard with wireless (known working) and usb (known working) with limited results.
Initially the last row of original keyboard didn't function at all and command keys seemed locked so couldn't type. Only did modifier key functions (open, close, find, et.c)
The two different keyboards, wireless and USB, typed but the control, option and command keys don't work. Space bar works and the command key no longer locked.
Things I have tried:
1. Checked Universal Access settings so no sticky keys, etc.
2. Check Speech settings, all correct.
3. Replaced user, universal access prefs from point of which keyboard worked, no change.
4. Cannot zap PRAM due to no working option or command keys.
5. Reset SMU. Caused fans to go high speed. Unplugged computer from wall. Waited 10 seconds, replugged, fan now normal.
6. Repaired permissions.
7. Tried to repair disk but operation failed in middle of scan. Won't mount from any bootable CD.
Currently the wireless keyboard works fine except I have no control-option-command key usage. Keyboard types fine and all other keys work fine.
Suggestions? I'm very frustrated.
Thanks in advance,
AnnieUpgraded to 10.6. Problems resolved.
