The top alpha row (Q thru O) do not work, is there something I can do to fix this

    1. Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM and SMC. Doesn't usually 'cure' keyboard problems you report, but it costs nothing and only takes a few minutes.

    2. Try plugging in a USB keyboard. Doesn't absolutely have to be a Mac keyboard. A PC keyboard will work for a test. If the typing problem does not occur with the USB keyboard, you have a temporary solution until you can arrange to visit a repair facility.
    3. If your MacBook is older and has a user-removable battery, shut down the computer, remove the battery, and examine it for signs of 'bulging' or swelling. Then connect the computer to the Magsafe power supply, without reinstalling the battery, and turn it back on. If the keyboard problem has gone away, it was likely caused by a swelling battery.

  • Some of the keys on my keyboard do not work.  I've run through the trouble shooting tips and still no solution.

    Any thoughts?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Three keys of my keyboard are not working, the cap one, the return key and the space bar, while the virtual keyboard shows to others keys highlighted in orange (^ and `); How to fix it? I writing now with a bluetooth keyboard.

    All new keyboards need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and above for full functionality.
    Rather short-sighted of Apple perhaps, but that seems to be a trend these days.
    I'm afraid the only fix is to upgrade to SL. Personaly, I'd take it back and get a refund and seek an older keyboard or a third-party one elsewhere.

  • My volume control keys on my keyboard are not working.

    All of the keys on my keyboard are working except for the f10, f11, and f12 keys (those which control the volume). I have tried to fix this problem in system preferences but can't seem to find a place to fix the problem. I have a macbook pro.

    try a pram reset
    Resetting PRAM
       Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Some of the keys on my keyboard are unresponsive

    turned on my mac book this morning to find that "back space, p,0,o f12," and a few other keys are unresponsive, and i haven't a clue as to why i h ave had this mac book for under 3 months and wanted to know 2 things, how do i go about fixing this and is it possible to get a replacemnt mac boo.. this could not have happend at a worst time

    I have two MacBooks sitting at my desk. A black one (6 months old) and a white one (3 months old). The black one is performing like a charm, no problems at all, was all the way on 10.4 and is now (since 2 weeks) on 10.5 and running smooth and fine.
    The white one is a beast. Since I bought it from the AppleStore (Austria) it makes troubles. Some not all of the keys are unresponsive and this seems to be random. First I thought I am a to fast typer, and I tried to be very careful and slow but when you enter your password for certain situations two or three times it gets boring.
    Next is applications (firefox, Word 2004, Safari) do not load, opening them from the dock, let the app icon jump 30 times and then a dialog appaers that the application "XY..." has crashed. Would you like to report to Apple... grrr.
    Folder opening is slow as molasse. A double click on a folder with (for example) ten subfolders inside) brings up the beachball spinning and takes (if the folder opens at all) 20 to 30 seconds and this is random reproducable.
    In the meantime I have made about 5 to 7 completly fresh installs with 10.4 and 10.5, changed the two 512 RAMs, formatted the hard drive with 0 writes). There seems to be, nothing is of help. There seems also to be no real failure or any 3rd party software installed. All the software is from Apple (System, iLife and their respective updates.)
    I will call Apple Customer Support next week and if they do not accept to send a replacement mac, I put up a video on youtube, because I have never have experienced a mac like this (in my 20+ mac carrier).
    But this machine definitly is worst nightmare for someone who switched (like from PC to Mac).
    best
    Rob

  • The keys on my keyboard do not work all the time. I have to strike a key more than once before it appears on the screen.

    I've changed batteries on my wireless keyboard with no help. It is a Wireless Keyboard 1000. I'm thinking it could be caused by an addon, but not sure which one.

  • Some of the keys in my keyboard including the enter button do not work..

    Good morning,  my enter button and some of the other keys on the right side of my keyboard are not working.  How do I solve the problem.  thank you.

  • What do you do if some of your keys on your keyboard aren't working ?! Any suggestions ??

    What do you do if some of your keys on your keyboard aren't working ?! Any suggestions ??

    Yeah, a portable bluetooth keyboard is the cheapest solution. You can replace the top deck yourself without too much tinkering if you are a little mechanically minded. Most replacement services on the net charge from $150 to replace it. You can buy refurbished top decks from $50 or so. Unfortunately, the keyboard is part of the top case and not an individual part.
    One thing to note: If you do decide to buy one and DIY, make sure you get the exact one for your model cos the connectors do vary slightly.

    How does a usb keyboard attached externally work?
    You might try a "hard reset" where you remove battery and AC charger, hold down power button 20-30 seconds and then reassemble and turn on. Reset BIOS (F10) to default settings, too.
