Spacebar, left arrow key working intermittently Help!!!

Am using a macbook pro 17 inch mid 2010 and running yosemite beta 10.10 my spacebar, left arrow key, caps lock, is working intermittently.
I have removed the keys and cleaned but it works for a while and stops. I havent spilled any drink or water on it. I checked show keyboard viewer  and i attached the screenshot please help its really urgent.

Hi Ralph
Please confirm if replacing the keyboard will solve the problem, since my geographical location makes it difficult to access an apple shop.
Thanks

  • Home and End Key(Right and Left Arrows) Not Working!!!

    I have a Macbook... And all of a sudden the Home(Left Arrow) and the End(Right Arrow) keys have stopped working. I have no clue why this happened?? Can somebody PLZ help me out????

    I have a Macbook Pro and since upgrading to 10.6.4 none of my arrow keys work. Neither do the +&= or ?&/ keys. All other keys are OK. The only way around this is to use 'keyboard viewer' which is inconvenient to say the least. I assume this must be a software related issue.

  • HELP: Shift-left arrow key shortcut

    I've got a weird problem that started sometime recently on my MacBook Pro. When I press Shift and left arrow key it is "hiding or showing all open windows." I want to change this back to what it used to be: "extend text selection one character to the left (*)".
    I went to the the System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard Shortcuts but I could not find Shift-left arrow key listed anywhere in there.
    Can anyone help me? This is driving me crazy.

    Hi,
    I spent some time finding an App that had the "Orignal Action" of Backspacing the Highlighting.
    Word (2204) seems to have it (TextEdit didn't)
    I have Word but don't use it much.
    I did find this:-
    Looking at the one on display I go to item 3 before getting lost
    Hope it give you some clues.
    The Print Instructions may help to see what is listed and possibly Set.
    Print a list of shortcut keys
    1. On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Macros.
    2. On the Macros in pop-up menu, click Word commands.
    3. In the Macro name box, click ListCommands.
    4. Click Run.
    5. In the List Commands dialog box, click Current menu and keyboard settings, and then click OK.
    6. On the File menu, click Print.
    Note If you made changes to shortcut key assignments, the changes are included in the printed list of shortcut keys. Shortcut keys you assigned to macros are not included.

  • Delete, down arrow and left arrow stopped working

    Randomly while I was browsing the web on my MacBook Air, my delete, down arrow and left arrow keys stopped working. One minute I was able to page down using my arrow keys, and the next, nothing happened.
    I have consulted two separate Apple Support help pages (linked below for reference) for directions on fixing this issue, but none of their proposed fixes have solved the issue- it still persists.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1381

    Do you have any further help? Or is it that my keyboard has just aged terribly?
    (In case it is required, my MBA is fully updated and is running on OS X Maverick)

    Thanks Grant,
    appreciate the info.
    I did try that, and switching the power cord (Which was a long shot) and still not luck.
    Pretty facinating issue.
    I am going ot continue to look through the forums and see if I find anything.
    Thanks again!
    If anyone else has had this issue with an older MacPro - I would love ot hear it.

  • Left arrow key -- probably a stupid question.

    In some applications my left arrow key doesn't work. I've noticed it most in Word for mac, but I know it has happened elsewere, too. And in safari the left arrow key tabs often functions like tab. I'm new to Mac (and just getting used to fn + delete to delete forward). Is this another key combination thing I'm missing? I've discovered using Word that fn + <-- is "home," and that works just fine.
    Thanks!

    I have this exact same problem. Has anyone found a fix. I called Apple Care and they said it was not a hardware problem, as this left arrow key problem only happens in Word. They also could not find a fix to the problem and, of course, referred me to Microsoft. I had already spoken with Microsoft and they, of course, referred me to Apple. I am desperately trying to a fix, as I use Word to write upwards of 100 page reports and not being able to use the left arrow key is a nightmare.
    Please someone help.

  • Left arrow key does not go back one character at a time

    on my key pad, I cannot backup "over" characters one space at a time  I am not looking to DELETE, merly to backup one character at a time.  I know I can use the function key along with the arrow key for word at a time jump.  I can jump one character to the right by pushing that key but I cannot do that with my left arrow key.  slight annoyance, but I swear it worked before. . .

    The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
    You can look at this extension:
    * Backward Forward History Dropdown: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/

  • Left Arrow Key Closes during Rename

    Has anybody else noticed sometimes that when you're renaming a file and using the left arrow key to move through the text, the Finder closes the editability of that file name? As you proceed to use the left arrow key, it would close subfolder after subfolder (if you're in list view). It' pretty annoying for power-users since I'm used to renaming file after file without using the mouse. I navigate with arrow keys a lot.

    Yes, I get this too, it's really annoying, I'm going to look for a way to stop the left arrow closing the folder, maybe it's in the keyboard short cuts in system settings, and just needs removing. So annoying, especially for newbies.

  • Left Ctrl key works peculiar.

    In my Compaq 8710p, when I use Adobe Photoshop, the left "ctrl" key scrolls the right scroll bar to the most top and bottom scroll bar to the most left. It's very embarressing since I can't do anything properly in photoshop. Always I have to drag the page back to the middle of the page.
    As well, in a browser, it's scrolls the right scroll bar to the most top. When in the desktop, it selects/focus the most top left icon in the desktop. 
    I tried vaccum cleaning to remove any dust exist in the keyboard and it works same. 
    Please help me to resolve this.
    Thanks!

    Hello Ravi-Gunasekara,
    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums, since this is a commercial product. You can click here for the link.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • Why doesn't my arrow keys work?

    I can not use my arrow keys. When I got into my messages and try to use the arrow keys it brings me back to the main screen.

    I filmed a golf swing with my Casio Exilim at 450 fps and transferred the video to my computer.  I opened them in QuickTime and encountered the issue.  On my old iMac, I could advance the film frame by frame using the arrow keys but on my laptop it won't.
    Not familiar with all of the cameras in this line and, as you didn't give a model number, there is no way to look up additional information. However, assuming the "new" platform is running the QT X player (i.e., you still have not indicated which app you are trying to view the file in), and your "old" system may have had the QT 7 Player installed, then you could try simply installing the QT 7 Player v7.6.6 or MPEG Streamclip as previously indicated. If the problem is merely due to the excessively high frame rate (I.e., if your camera does not shoot "muxed" MPEG-2 video) then these QT 7 based apps should work the same as they did on your older system assuming the new system is properly configured with the correct codec components. (I.e., many Casio cameras use compression formats in the AVI file container which may require the Perian codec package also be installed for proper playback.)

  • Arrow keys work too fast on Polygon tool

    My keyboard arrow keys change the amount of points/sides on the polygon tool too fast for me to control, and not one step at a time! How do I change this?

    Illy is getting too highstrung. Give her a cold turkey instead of whatever she is on. If necessary, you may get her unstrung if you Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift while you wake her or Move the folder while she sleeps.
    If that does not help, find out whether the arrow keys behave normally in other applications.

  • How do I get my down arrow to work again? All other arrow keys work fine.

    My 'down' arrow key hasn't worked for some time. Is there an easy fix for this?

    Hi, missed this I guess.
    If it's the key on the board gone, might use Spark to set another key for it for a test, heck, maybe even try the down arrow key...
