System Stuck on Caps Lock

After running OnyX, Monolingual and Apple update (after restart) my MacBook Pro now has (some, not all) menu dialogs coming up in all caps (such as in NeoOffice).  This also happens in any of my web browsers when I do a Google search (results are in all caps).  For the record, as I type this question it too is showing all caps though I do not have caps lock on.  Any suggestions? 

Please do both a iMac SMC and PRAM reset

  • My macbook pro  is stuck in caps lock, among other problems

    my macbook pro (now leopard 10.6) is stuck in caps lock, no matter if the caps lock key is on or if I use shift, and windows close very slowly. I also can't erase the hard drive with my Mac OS X dvd. I can't login because my password requires numbers I can't access due to the caps lock problems, but sometimes it randomly logs me in without asking for my password.

    Which version of OS X is running on the machine? When you say that the installation DVD is 'stuck' do you mean physically stuck in the machine and you cannot boot from it?
    Unless your running Lion or Mountain Lion, both of which have Recovery partitions, I would think that you're simply 'stuck' if you cannot boot from the DVD. At this point, I would take the machine to an Apple Store or an AASP for a free diagnosis and repair estimate. If it turns out that you've a failed hard drive, of course, you can always replace it yourself.

  • All text I do on PSE 13 is stuck on caps lock. Any solutions?

    Hey guys, as the title says, my PSE13 has all of its text stuck on caps lock.

  • Computer stuck in caps lock

    My Macbook air is stuck in caps, no caps lock key lit, though it can light up when tapped. I tried checking for stuck keys, nothing. I also rebooted SMP. nothing. everything is in caps, including character keys. It shows the computer in boot screen with SAFE BOOT in red top right corner. Help?

    Using the external keyboard, try a PRAM reset:
    Shut down your Mac.
    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 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.

    I'm not stuck on caps lock.
    I've attempted to reset the type tool and it's still all caps.
    It's not a font issue, I've tried several I know have upper/lower and are not working.
    Any other thoughts or suggestions?

  • Software stuck in capslock but the key is not stuck, can't log in now due to the caps lock. what should I do?

    I was doing homework and the software started lagging, followed by all the font being stuck in caps lock. My keys are find and I could still turn the caps on/off. This had no effect; still caps. I used shift, still the caps stayed on. I restarted it and it pops up with "OS x safeboot" and asks for my password. I type it in accordingly and it's wrong because the caps are still on. I don't know what to do and I have an online test due soon ;( help?

    I would first try compressed air to blow anything from under the key.  More knowledgeable people will hopefully chime in, but a problem starting at a level as low as logging in would make me think that the contacts under the keys might be dirty.  Do you have another keyboard that you can plug in?

  • How do I get my macbook off CAPS lock and safe boot?

    My macbook is stuck on caps lock and only comes up on safeboot? what should I do? It was only on sleep and playing music but when I wanted to log back I was unable to do so

    Open the terminal app. (Applications => Utilities => Terminal)
    Copy and paste the following code.
    sudo nvram boot-args=""
    then restart your mac.
    if you will want to stick with the safe boot again use the following code.
    sudo nvram boot-args="-x"

  • Cap locks

    For some reason, my phone seems to be stuck on caps lock. I first noticed it when I was checking a voice mail. I usually put the speaker phone on when I listen to v.m., but this time it typed an O on the screen and said "sorry, 6 is not a recognized entry". When I started checking out other things, i.e. typing in a phone number, sending SMS text, it all appears in caps. If I try the alt key, it doesn't type numbers or other characters. I don't know what happened to set it like this and I can't find how to change it back. HELP!!!

    Remove the battery for 10 seconds.

  • Keyboard stuck in caps

    I'm really hoping I can get some help with this asap. So my mackbook pro seems to be stuck in caps lock, however the caps key is not stuck and neither of the shift keys are stuck either. Upon booting up the keys make a sound like they are locked or something, but will then start working in caps again. I cannot log into the computer as my password is all lowercase letters. I have tried restarting, plugging the charger in, pressing the option key five times (in case the problem is mouse keys), as well as starting it in safe mode. I have tried to reset the SMC but all that seems to do is boot it in safe mode. I have also tried to reset the PRAM and again it doesn't work, doesn't restart the computer but instead opens OS X Utilities. I have been trying all of these methods for the past 5 hours and nothing is working at all. If anyone has any input or suggestions it is greatly appreciated!

    Hello there casslun,
    It sounds like you have a few keys that aren't working correctly. It seems to me like you have done all the troubleshooting I would have. Next you should have the computer looked at, as it seems you may need a repair.

  • Caps lock stuck on

    Hi Donna, if you've already rebooted, try this workaround...

  • Can't remap caps lock in system preferences anymore

    I just discovered that when I go into system preferences to set up a new keyboard under Yosemite 10.3, and click on "Modifier Keys..." to remap the modifier keys, the only valid mapping for Caps Lock is now "No Action."   "Control," "option" and "command" are all greyed out.   What gives?   Do I have to buy a $200 happy hacking keyboard now to have Control to the left of 'a'?

    Look at the headphone port to see if there's a small red light inside. Doing this in a darkened room might help. If you see the light, try inserting and removing a headphone jack a few times. Sometimes the port gets stuck on optical. If the headphone jack trick doesn't work, insert a plastic toothpick or maybe one prong of a plastic fork and gently jiggle it around. Don't use too much force, since you don't want to break that off inside.
