The arrow keys on my wireless keyboard no longer scroll.

The arrow keys on my wireless keyboard no longer respond or scroll. They will page down with the fn/command key, but do not respond by themselves. How can I fix this? This is with an iMac, 10.7.5. Thanks..

I'm having similar issues with the wireless keyboard, the brightness buttons aren't working and Apple can't seem to fix the issue. They replaced the keyboard for me and the initially worked but now they aren't and this was replaced today.
Can you please let me know how you fixed the f1 and f2 keys? Everything else works for me...

  • The escape key in my wireless keyboard stopped working

    Dear list members, suddenly, the ESC key in my wireless keyboard stopped working. As it looks normal and all other keys are working properly, might it be a configuration problem? Could you please help me? I'm working on an iMac 27 late 2012 running OSX 10.10.2. Thank you.

    Please reset the SMC, this may take 2-3 attempts and post back with the results.

    Option + Delete: Delete the word to the left of the cursor
    Command + Up Arrow: Go to top of document
    Command + Down Arrow: Go to bottom of document
    Command + Left Arrow: Go to beginning of current line

  • I have a Belkin bluetooth keyboard attached to my Ipad 3. I would like to know if there is any way to have the arrow keys scroll down when browsing web pages?

    I just got my Ipad 3rd generation a few days ago and for my case I got the bulky BELKIN Bluetooth keyboard. I notice that when I press down the arrow keys it does not seem to scroll down when searching a web browser or looking up web pages. However it works fine when scrolling down on office apps such as Pages. I'm wondering if is there a way to make the arrow keys on the keyboard scroll down when on an internet web page like my Mac does.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Sadly you cannot disable autocorrect temporarily, so it's all or nothing.

    Nope, I doubt it.  As I said:
    I disabled Aero theme, checked font scaling was 100% and rebooted Windows in between all of the steps to no avail.
    I've been reading a lot around this and it seems the arrow key problem is a red herring; I think it's just some kind of terminal preferences corruption.

  • Is there a function key on Apple Wireless Keyboard to mimic the roundel key (home)?

    While the cheap bluetooth keyboard has a home key, alas, Apple Wireless Keyboard doesn't have it to work well with iOS devices.  Can it be programmed into F5 or F6 then?

    Good luck on the switch. I know I initially struggled with the layout change of many things. If I could give one recommendation/word of advice it would be:
    "Learn shortcut keys."
    As a Windows user of 15 years, I had become reliant on my mouse (and the occasional alt/tab keys) that I never really explored the world of keyboard shortcuts.
    After taking several weeks to finally get the hang of all the various keyboard shortcuts I zip through things now, almost rarely use my mouse except when an ease to use (or remember) keyboard shortcut is available.
    Good links already posted above, just more of my 2 cents.

  • Cleaned the keys on my wireless keyboard, 5 keys not working.

    Cleaned the keys on my wireless keyboard with rubbing alcohol. Now my number 2 key, w, s, x and caps lock keys won't work. I copy and paste these right now. I did notice the cotton balls were saturated and some seeped out, but I didn't notice that my keys didn't work till 2 days later. I did leave my keyboard in the sun to see if it helped for about 45 min. It's still not working. Any suggestions? Hope There is a way to save my keyboard. 

    I did notice the cotton balls were saturated and some seeped out,
    Never clean a keyboard with rubbing alcohol and never leave the keyboard in the sun, or any Apple products for that matter.
    You may need to purchase a new keyboard.
    In the future, follow the instructions here >  How to clean Apple products

  • Assigning SEND key to Apple Wireless Keyboard for messages?

    Does anyone know whether you can assign a "Send" key on the Apple Wireless Keyboard so I can send text messages and email without having to touch the iPhone's "Send" button? There's no info in the manual. I'm handicapped and have difficulty working the phone's dinky key layout, and bought the keyboard to help me send text messages. Kinda defeats the purpose if I have to then Send the message from the iPhone, not the keyboard . . .

    I believe you can use VoiceOver in combination with your keyboard to do what you want. Settings>General>Accessibility>VoiceOver>On.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3598
    Essentially when in VoiceOver, you use the arrow keys and space bar while holding down the control and option keys to select and tap what you need.

  • How do I get the arrow keys to move one character at a time in the address bar or search box?

    I can no longer get the arrow keys to advance or retard "one character at a time" in the address bar, the search box, or on any form in Firefox. This feature works in other browsers without a problem. The "Home" and "End" keys do not work either. How do I fix this behavior?

    How do I configure the AX to connect to the hub's wireless network? It will only scan one base station Airport Express at a time in the Airport Utility. I think what I am trying to do is use the hub as a router to the two AX's. Is there a specific way to set this up?
    To set up the AX to join a wireless network as a "Wireless Client," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
    Launch the AirPort Utility.
    Select the AX.
    If not already connected to the AX's wireless network, go ahead and switch to it when prompted.
    AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
    Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    Network Name: <type in the network name/SSID of the wireless network that you want to join or select it from the pop-up menu>
    Wireless Security: None OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
    Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for the existing wireless network: WPA/WPA2 Personal | WPA2 Personal>
    Password: <enter your wireless network security password>
    Verify Password: <re-enter the same security password>
    Click Update to write the new settings to the AX.

  • Key Bindings using the arrow keys

    Following is some code that allows you to move a component around the screen using the arrow keys. I've noticed a problem and I'm just wondering if its Java or my keyboard.
    Lets start with an example that works:
    Press the down and right keys. Then press either the up or left key. The image moves proving that it supports 3 keys.
    Now for the problem:
    Press the up and left keys. Then press either the down or right key. Three things to notice:
    a) the direction doesn't change when the third key is pressed
    b) no output is displayed, so the ActionListener is not being invoked
    c) after a short time, the program starts beeping
    Now try rerunning the code after removing the comments that assign the key bindings to the "a, s, d, f" keys. Redo the above test and it works even if all four keys are pressed.
    I don't remember this problem when I wrote the code a while ago, but I did recently get a cheap new keyboard so I'm just wondering if the problem is my keyboard or whether its a quirk with Java.

    if you hold down left and right (so it doesn't move), down works, but not up.
    hold up/down, right works but not left.Yes, the problem only seems to be when the up and left in combination with the right or down key is pressed.
    num lock off - use the number pad arrow keys and all works OK Thats interesting, I didn't notice that. Although it just confuses the issue as to what the problem is.
    So it appears to me that:
    a) left + up + down, and
    b) left + up + right
    are special key combinations that are intercepted by either the OS or the JVM. Do these key combinations ring a bell to anybody?
    I'm use JDK1.4.2 on XP. I wonder if other OS will have the same problem?
    Again, this isn't a real, problem, just more of a curiosity. Thanks,

  • Arrow keys on my wired keyboard don't work.  How do I fix these?

    The four (4) arrow keys on my wired keyboard don't work.  How do I fix these?
    Sorry, I came from a PC and am very new to the Mac.
    Thanks.

    Did you check the long verticle silver button on the left side of the phone?  It is above the + & - Keys.  If it is pushed down, you will have no volume.  THis is a key to quickly shut off the volume if you forgot to trun it down during a meeting, funeral, etc.  If that is okay, go into settings and see if volume is turned on.  "vibrate" is no longer an option by itsself.
