Keyboard: some keys not working

Some keys not working. Need help/suggestions. Not great with computers so PLEASE give details/steps re: how to do what you suggest - thanks!
Details: intel based iMac running snow leopard 10.6.8. Apple wireless/bluetooth keyboard (came with the iMac).
Some keys suddenly stopped working: space, tab, capLock, option key to the right of space bar (one on the left works), down arrow
The problem happens in various programs (safari, pages, etc)
The keyboard is fine on another iMac
A different keyboard is fine on this/the involved iMac
(nutshell: keyboard works fine - computer works fine, unless they're together)
Here's what's been tried/checked:
-checked the settings for universal access ("mouse keys" are off) and checked for any bluetooth keyboard shortcuts.
-in system preferences "speech" is not set for "speak selected text when the key is pressed" - this is not checked/selected
-tried creating a new user but had the same issue so it's computer-wide rather than just a user account
-removed the keyboard and reconnected (using the +/- signs and "disconnect" and putting in a new code of numbers to pair keyboard)
-language/text is set for english
-did the keyboard viewer and the keys in question did NOT highlight when pressed (but don't forget the entire keyboard is fine on a different computer so thekeys aren't the issue)
-"slow keys" is turned off re: keyboard in system preferences.
Any help is welcomed. It's frustrating knowing the keyboard works, just not with this computer. Please help. Many thanks!

yes - not sure how this works...if you can see my original post there are a lot of details in there. If you can't...
nutshell: the keyboard works on a different iMac
             a different keyboard works on this/the involved iMac
             I tried to create a different user and the keyboard still does not work so it is computer-wide
             I also removed the keyboard from the computer (using the +/- symbols and disconnecting and then repairing it. The problem remained
Thanks for any help. It's crazy that the keyboard is fine and the computer is fine but together, there's the problem.
Thank you!!!

Apple Keyboard used on MacBook: Some keys not working

Hello,
I use an Apple Keyboard (USB-connection, aluminium, Model No.: A1243, 2007) for typing longer texts when my MacBook is connected to an external monitor.
Since I have re-installed the OS X software on my MacBook because I had to replace the hard drive, the Keyboard doesn't work successful. Some keys just don't work; The letters cannot be typed. (Affected keys: "8", "I", "K", "," and number pad keys "7", "4", "1")
I installed all software updates for keyboards that could be found on the apple support webpages.
The keyboard istelf doesn't show any defects for me.
What can I do to solve the provlem? Or to get to know if it's a software-based problem? I want to exclude all possible software reasons.. In a worst case I have to replace the keyboard, I think. But it always worked fine and a new one can be expensive.
Thank you for all hints!

have you tried command-option and the keys? or command and one of the keys? if so did it work??? if not, try going into the finder, and go to preferences file, but did not know which one would be the culprit. The strategy I adopted, which took me back to my System 9 (and earlier) days, was to go into the Library folder of the affected user account, open up the Preferences folder (after backing it up elsewhere on the hard drive), and take out a small number of files (.plist files, etc) at a time, log out then back in and note any changes. The theory is that if there were any changes then it is most likely that the offending file was in the last group to be removed. You would then replace those files one at a time until the problem returned. Eventually I found the culprit. To my surprise it was the com.apple.loginwindow.plist file. Removing that cured things completely.
Why that particular preference file affected that particular key is beyond me, but it fixed the problem!

Keyboard - some keys not working? (Didn't spill anything though)

Hi - I am a new apple user (iMac Intel core 2 duo 24" screen) using Mac OS x 10.4.11 operating system. I have been learning it for about a month now. All of a sudden, only "some" of the keys won't work on my keyboard. THe numeric pad keys for number 4,5,&6 do not work. If you press them, nothing happens. Also, more importantly, the right "shift" key doesn't work. I am the only user and nothing was spilled on it. It has been working all along, and nothing was changed. Just to be sure, I checked the keyboard, mouse, shortcut, etc. settings, and everything (that I know of) is set right. Any idea what it could be?? Also, what is the best way to learn everything you can if you don't know a lot about the mac? The classes they offer? or ?? Thank you so much

Hi, welcome. As for the keyboard take it back to an Apple store/retailer and get it exchanged if under warranty. I have not heard of those particular keys just not working. The best way to learn about the mac is to...use it. Assign yourself some projects, play some games. There are lots of trial/freeware programs if you don't have the latest photoshop or quake. You'll run into things you're not sure about so that is where you'll learn. Check your systems Help and/or ask questions at the appropriate forum. Have fun.

How can I restore my keyboard to factory settings? (some keys not working on new unit)

I bought an HP dv6-6167cl last night from Sam's Club and I like the notebook but for some reason the right shift key - ( a longer shift key with both "Pause" and "Shift" written on the key) does not work at all. I'm trying to determine if this is a driver or system configuration issue or if I need to exchange the computer for a different one. It may even be user error - is there some sort of trick to using this shift key? (function toggle or something)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Try to backup your personal files and perform a recovery which would put the Notebook back to factory condition. The instructions can be found below

Some Keys not working on the keyboard

Specifically the "T" and "5" keys refuse to work.
Have tried a reboot, logout, no luck.
Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo "Mermon" 2.33 Ghz 3GB Ram ....
Anyone else with this problem, or solutions?
Thanks
-Robert

I have spent 20 minutes loging on in order to complain about my MacBook Pro underLeopard.
1 the keypad is capricious. It changes the location of the cursor when I use certain keys, especially capitals. This happens all the time in Mail and Gmail.
2 the trackpad is UNUSEABLE when connected to a projector. This happen often and i have to reboot to recover. A mouse works however.
That is about all not much but these probelms did not exist on the old model. The eradict trackpad is annoying and the keyborad not working are both exteemely annoying.

Satellite Pro A10 - some keys not working with new keyboard

Hi all
I hope some1 can help with this
i have a Satellite Pro A10. The prob i have is a.b.n.and enter keys are not working and its a new keyboard
i fitted into my other A10 and all keys work so keyboard is fine.
All works ok with usb keyboard. Had motherboard out all seems ok.
Any help plz
chris....

Hi
Why do you think that the motherboard is ok?
Maybe its a keyboard controller issue
Did you check if the cable was connected properly?
In my opinion if you are 100% sure that the keyboard is ok then the issue must be related to the motherboard because there is no other part which is placed between the keyboard and mobo.

IMac G5 & new apple keyboard - some keys not working

I have an iMac G5 (2GHz, 20 inch), running OS X Tiger (10.4.11) and I recently purchased the new apple keyboard (the wired version without the numpad, to save desk space). I am finding that the function keys at the top don't work - specifically, the keys that control sound. I've googled this, and installed the Keyboard Software Update 1.2 that most people said fixed their problem - but it hasn't fixed mine.
Instead, the f10-f12 keys don't control the sound functions, but the f12 key ejects discs (it sits next to the eject button, so perhaps this is a wiring error?), and the caps lock key does not always work when hitting it - it needs a large amount of pressure. I would think that my keyboard was defective, but I just exchanged it yesterday, and the new one has the same problems. I'm getting close to just giving up and getting a refund.
Message was edited by: JumpingJehosaphat

Hello - thank you for the quick responses! To answer your question, yes, I have repaired my permissions and restarted, to no avail.
I have looked through the keyboard prefs quite a bit, and cannot find anything that allows me to choose where to map the sound keys. I have checked "Use All F1 F2 etc keys as standard function keys". In the small aluminum keyboards, the f keys are dual-function - in this case, the f10-f12 keys also control dashboard, etc, which I have turned off (but I have tested the keys with these options both off & on, with the fn key, without the fn key, etc - tried lots of combinations). I've tried quite a few things to get these keys to work. Honestly, the f1-f4 keys don't seem to work at all either.
I might try and take a video later today to show you what I mean. The caps lock key is the biggest thing that's bothering me - I use it instead of shift to type, and 75% of the type it does not activate when pressed...I would think this was just one bogus keyboard if it weren't for the fact that I already exchanged it once...

T440s: some keys not working after a few drops of water

Recently I spilled a few drops (literally) of water on my T440s' backlit keyboard. Right now, as far as I know, the following keys are not working anymore: Y, T, BACKSPACE, TAB, CAPSLOCK and left SHIFT. According to the information Lenovo gave me, the keyboard can handle about 10 liters of water so I'm not sure if water is the cause. But if not, it would be quite the coincidence.
Can somebody advise me what to do?

Hi Errieman,

As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with keyboard in your Lenovo t440s laptop.

MS-163A (GX600) notebook: some keys not working

Hello,
my girlfriend has been having a notebook with the MSI logo on it for about two years, and has been experiencing an annoying problem with its keyboard since about a year, with no particular event remarked that may have caused it: Certain keys on the right side of the keyboard produce no response when pressed, and there is no special feeling like if the keys were broken mechanically. The issue is not OS dependent, since the problem occurs in all Windows, Ubuntu, and even BIOS setup itself. The keys form a mirrored "L" shape on the keyboard: It's the /, 8, 5, 2 and 0 keys of the numeric keypad (all of these form a vertical line), plus the right arrow key of the basic arrow key set (on the left of the 0 numeric key). Still, the Del key, which is situated above the non-functioning "/" key, works well (but it also has another shape - it's in the top line of the keyboard and thus smaller than the other keys). Very rarely, some of these "dead" keys react and produce the appropriate sign, and you do not need to be pressing them with any force to achieve that - yet, the exact context of when this happens is undeterminable and by just pressing the key over and over again you do not get it working.
Neither loading BIOS defaults nor performing the EC reset procedure has helped. I have thought of updating her BIOS, but have problems finding an update. The MSI update utility for Windows does not find any update, and I am not sure if there is one suitable I could pick manually from the MSI website. According to the BIOS setup information, her computer is a:
Market Name: GX600
Model Name: MS-163A
BIOS Version: E163AIMS.301
Build Date: 07/16/2008 18:37:19
EC Version: 163AEG6 Ver1.08
Build Date: 06/30/2008
Any ideas on where could I find a newer BIOS to flash, or what else may be causing this peculiar behavior of the keyboard? Thank you!

Thank you for trying to help, Stu. For Svet: It's not a NumLock problem, the keys did not generate any response at all - neither an up arrow, nor an eight, for example.
Nothing was spilt on the keyboard either, but your hints have made me further research the problem: Once I figured out that the key always becomes active while having been pressed for some time, I concluded it's a problem of the contact between the keycap and the keyboard's circuit board. And indeed, if I removed the key and would press that little white cap while pressing its surroundings against the bottom of the keyboard, it would react perfectly and produce one keypress every time I pressed the cap, even if only gently as usual. This observance has led me to take the keyboard out of the computer (using this guy's great video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5294724954182930778&ei=dzGvSYTlCpaEqQOm9JjXDw ) and stick some scotch tape in the places which are situated below those keys when the keyboard is in. And, indeed, doing this and putting everything back again has solved the problem!
In fact, I am not sure if it was really that thin layer of scotch I have put below that was the cause - it is also possible that it was the wide cable which connects it to the motherboard and which was bent quite unpleasantly for several times. I could not really find a better solution to hide it below the keyboard without having it bent like that, still it is possible that just moving it a little during the work with the tape has made it work well again (for how long, though, I don't dare guessing). Perhaps it was just the side-most wire in that cable, which was bent the worst, which is responsible for that column of keys which was malfunctioning? If I could get somewhere a diagram of how the keys are connected to those wires, maybe that would give a hint.
Anyway, as for now at least, the problem has been resolved. Thank you for your hints and attention!

Some keys not working on wired full keyboard

I recently got hold of a new-style wired keyboard that has the numeric keypad. When I plug it in most of the keys work fine, but the "return" and "caps lock" keys seem to do nothing. I think mechanically they are okay, I suspect there's some kind of key mapping problem.
I've checked the Input Sources section in System Preferences but selecting things like "US Extended" seems to have no effect.

Hello:
Who manufactures the
new-style wired keyboard that has the numeric keypad
If it is third-party, the manufacturer is the best source of information.

Macbook Pro – Some Keys Not Working!

Hi
I'm running a 15-inch ( mid 2010 ) Macbook Pro with OS X 10.8.5.
Some of my keys have stopped working.
I've been throughout his forum but found nothing that helps.
The 't' key sometimes does nothing and sometimes this... IORTUY
other keys that dont work are: number 5, hypens, square brackets and volume up.
Random I know.
Anyone experienced this?
Thanks

I'm on a MacBookPro8,2,
Intel Core i7 2.3 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP81.0047.B27
SMC Version (system): 1.69f4
OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
I have the same issue with some of my keys, it comes and goes, but it's mostly there.
I have to carry a small Bluetooth keyboard with me now, this really *****.
I'm paranoid thinking this might have something to do with a keylogger process, or maybe just some process in the system that keeps taking all the IO bandwidth for the keyboard, I don't think it's hardware related
I've installed an antivirus and performed an exhaustive scan and found nothing wrong.
When I started typing this post I had to go and get the external keyboard, now I'm typing back again with the keyboard, no clue what might be causing it.

Hello bungalow2014
Check out the article below for further troubleshooting options for your keyboard. One other thing to check is to open Keyboard Viewer to see if there is anything else being pressed while hitting those keys.
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond
