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?
Thanks

Is your shell one that you want?
csh and sh don't support autocompletion or arrow histories. you'd need tcsh or bash or something.

Left and right arrow keys don't work

My right and left arrow keys do not work, up and down arrows work fine. I did not spill anything on or near my keyboard. I don't recall adding any apps/software. It is a late 2008 MacBook Pro running OS X10.9.1. I am at a loss. Please help.
Thanks,
David

Call 1-800-SOS-APPL. If it needs hardware repair, they will send you a box to ship it in for service. Turnaround time is usually just a few days.
You might try an Archive and Install first to eliminate a software issue. Apple will have you do that anyway.

[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?

Aluminum Keyboard Arrow Keys don't work in Excel?

My new Power Mac G5 came with a USB aluminum keyboard. The arrow keys no longer work with Excel as they used to (they move the window rather than the selection). Is there a fix for this?

Kenichi - THANK YOU. AND your memory is right on. I tried to search for Scroll Lock in Excel help and got nothing so tried your solution and it worked.

Arrow keys don't work

the arrow keys on my macbook air don't work properly, but only for one account. (they're fine on the other account.) they seem to operate as tab keys rather than regular arrow keys: so eg i cannot step through text one character at a time, although i can use option-arrow to step word by word, and command-arrow to go to beginning/end of lines. obviously there is some user-specific problem, perhaps some app has reset these, but i can't figure out which of the preferences i need to reset. i've looked at all the usual preference panes (keyboard, trackpad, etc) but there is nothing obvious i can see. does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
Welcome to the Discussions.
When individual keys stop working, it's usually a defective keyboard. Because yours got wet, I would replace it.

Macbook keyboard left/right arrow keys don't work

Hello everyone,
First time here and first time to touch a Macbook - I'm in IT but on the other side of the fence.
My partner's laptop is a Core2-Duo @ 2GHz which I've stuck 4GB of RAM and a newer SATA HDD into, I've also updated the firmware just in case it was needed to see the 4GB and also I seem to recall bootcamp wanting it.
A while back I was asked to put Vista-64 on it, I've done that and like most people mucked around with bootcamp drivers and got nearly everything working.
I noticed that some keys and the 'right click' ability wasn't working so I installed the Keyboard Input Remapper - this seems to only be for MacBook Pro however it did get me a right-click button so I didn't argue with that.
I'm not sure if it's because I've upgraded the firmware or not but Windows detects the keyboard as a MacBook Pro - and after I install the keyboard remapper it comes up as a more generic keyboard device "HID Compliant Keyboard" I think it is.
In particular the left and right directional arrow keys simply don't work, I can't even re-map them with a third party utility like Sharpkeys because it can't detect any input from them.
Doesn't seem to matter if I use the "Macbook Pro" keyboard or the "HID Compliant" keyboard with or without the input remapper - no combination I've found can seem to make it work and I can't find a non "Pro" keyboard driver.
I've spent many hours trying to figure this out and reading posts all over the web, the keys work under Mac OS 10.5.4.
Thanks in advance.

Is there a reason the arrow keys don't work with ipad dock

Is there a reason that the arrow keys appear not to work with the ipad dock? I can understand if the citrix app needs an update (would be great to use with excel) but it also doesn't work with numbers the mac app. Is there a reason they are on the keyboard if they are not for use? Safari they don't do scrolling but really wanted it for use with spreadsheets. Can anyone tell me if I just need to switch on something in settings?

Hello there,
Not as such it is the iPad dock. It would be very handy for spread sheets.
Cheers

IOS 7.0.2 - Bluetooth keyb up/down arrow keys don't work on some applications

I have a logitech ultrathin keyboard that I've been using extensively for text editing with my ipad. Since the upgrade to iOS 7 (and I now have 7.0.2), navigation keys up/down don't work on some applications.
Eg: Works on - notes / gmail
Doesn't work on: - messages / writing kit
This severely impacts the usability of the ipad as a writing instrument.
Tips?

It appears to have been a late-breaking change affecting lots of apps with text views, but not Apple's Notes. If it is the same problem, it happens with the standard keyboard also. I found comments on Apple's developer forums whilst debugging my own app.

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.
Please help!

Arrow keys don't work for fine audio adjustments

I've looked high and low for an answer to this. I've noticed that others have posted with this problem. I followed the directions in those posts and still can't do it. It seems like such a simple thing. I want to fine tune the placement of an audio clip by nudging it. Your supposed to be able to do so by clicking on the clip and then use the left/right arrow keys to make the adjustment. But, the only thing that moves is the playhead. I've tried everything.
BTW, I'm using a Powerbook 1.33 G4. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

jlweber,
I think you can achieve the result you want by using the "Snap to items in Timeline".
You'll find the check box here: iMovie>Preferences>General.
The arrows keys will still move the playhead, but you can then drag the audio and it will snap to the playhead location.

Arrow keys don't work, its a hardware issue, I've troubleshooting.

i don't remember spilling anything on it. it just stopped working. So i have apple care too, and sometimes one of the buttons just starts randomly going off.

Does the built in keyboard work fine? If so I'd venture to guess that it's not software related. But just for the heck ofit try resetting the SMC and pram.
To reset the SMC
Laptops with a battery you can remove
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
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.

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.

My Repeat and Shuffle Keys DON'T WORK!!!

When I play a song while the repeat playlist key is selected it doesn't do anything after the song is over it just stops, it doesn't go on to the next song or anything. Even when I select repeat one song it does the same thing, doesn't repeat! The shuffle key does the same thing, it doesn't shuffle! All the buttons work on my iPod Nano, but neither of those buttons work on my iTunes.
Please Help!

That's one the the items a SMC reset should fix.
