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.

Fast answers:
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.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3819550?start=0&tstart=0
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.

Using firefox 5 - when ever I try to use the same key more than once in a row, it does not work. Hitting the multiple times does nothing at all. How can this be corrected. HELP!!!

everything that needs to be done on the keyboard is effected - letters, numbers, backspace, directionals, delete, home, end, page up, page down, '''all keys that are pressed more than once''' It does not matter what webpage I am on.
PLEASE HELP
this is very frustrating

You may have switched on an accessibility feature called FilterKeys by keeping the Shift key pressed for too long.

Can I use the CD key more than once?

I bought Lightroom as a Christmas present for my husband this year, but his laptop was stolen recently. It will be a few months before we can afford getting him a new one, and I want him to still be able to use Lightroom until then, so I was considering installing it on my computer, if it will do so (my computer is getting a bit old). But I don't want to do that unless he'll still be able to use the CD key to install it on a new laptop once we get him one. I've never had to worry about installing software on more than one computer, so I'm not completely sure of myself here. Any advice?

LR’s license, like most Adobe products’ licenses, is for one person on two different computers, with a desktop and a laptop or a work computer and a home computer being the typical examples, as long as only one of those computers is used at a time.

Pressing enter query function key more than once displays past search key

At present, in Oracle Forms this is what's happening:
1. User presses entery-query (F7)
2. User searches for employee name smith. Plases %Smith% in the employee name field.
3. User presses execute-query (F8)
4. All employee names with "Smith" is displayed.
5. User presses enter-query again (F7). Screen is cleared.
6. User presses enter-query for the 2nd time (F7). %Smith% appears on the employee name field.
The problem is the user do not want %Smith% to appear the second time they press enter-query. If you guys have any idea or have experienced this, please let me know.
Thanks.

You are experiencing the default query last criteria functionality. When you execute the ENTER_QUERY built-in while in enter query mode, it will show the last query criteria. To override this, you could create a KEY-ENTQRY trigger on your block and give it code similar to:
IF :SYSTEM.MODE != 'ENTER-QUERY' THEN
ENTER_QUERY;
END IF;

Headings and other print run into each other and I cnnot see all the print in some boxes on vrious web sites. I have removed and re-installed more than once.

copy on the web pages overlap.....headlines appear over other print.....link tabs are on top of each other. I have removed and re-installed Firefox many times. This does not happen with other browsers. Also, some web sites show sections that are off center.

Hi,
Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20prints%20pages%20in%20a%20different%20layout this]. If the site has a Print button/icon you can try to use that. On some sites you can also try to right-click the content > '''This Frame''' > '''Print frame'''.

Hp Mini 110 1013tu Keyboard is Not working after upgrade to win 7

Hello need help on weird happenings to my keyboard..
Before i upgrade the Operating System From Windows XP to Windows 7 the Hp Mini 110 is working fine..
All keys on keyboard is working and touchpad is also working.
But after upgrading to windows 7 some keys on keyboard are not working like z,x,c,v, left ctrl and other more keys..
what do you think is the problem??
Hardware Issue? or Driver Issue?
please help thank you..

Hello @MysticDragon ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand some of the keys on your keyboard are not working after installing Windows 7.
I do not see any drivers available for your notebook for Windows 7 on the HP website, so their might be some compatibility issues as it's going to rely on Windows update to find current drivers. This doesn't mean it will not work, but I cannot say for sure that it will.
Try this:
1. Click Start.
2. Click Control Panel.
3. Click Clock, Language, and Region.
4. Click Region and Language.
5. Click the Keyboards and Languages tab.
6. Click Change keyboards...
7. On the General tab, make sure English (United States) - US is selected in the Default input language field.
8. Click on any other keyboards in the Installed services list.
9. Click Remove.
10. Repeat for all other non-English (United States) keyboards.
You may also want to try rolling back to Windows XP and see if the issue persists. It is possible the issue is coincidental and not the direct result of the update to Windows 7.
Let me know if this works!

After Upgrade Cloud Control from 12.1.0.3 to 12.1.0.4 the user name and password have to be entered more than once

Hi everybody,
we recently upgraded our Cloud Control from 12.1.0.3 to 12.1.0.4.
Now we have the following, a little bit strange behaviour.
Everytime we want to log into Cloud Control we have to enter our password more than once.
Sometimes even more than twice.
It alawys says user name and password are required
Does anybody has the same problem?
I didn't found anything on MOS. So any advice or answer is appreciated.
Greetings,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
We have seen similar issue when we use non-certified browsers for accessing 12c console
Use certified versions of IE with EM 12.1.0.4 Cloud Control. for instance, Microsoft Internet Explorer 10.*, 9.*, 9 and 8 versions only.
This document can help you to understand the Certified Browsers:

The volume keys on my Logitech K760 wireless keyboard do not work with my 2.3 GHz, Intel Core i5 Mac mini which runs Mac OS X 10.7.4. Anyone know how to correct this without having to re-code firmware?

My first post to the Apple Support Community so it looks like all I wanted to know is covered in the title. The research I have done led me to solutions that I am not comfortable trying for fear of irreparably damaging my keyboard and/or Mac mini. Does anyone have a simpler solution? Please? Hellooooo?
Just in case the title is too long to show, I have re-pasted here:

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to work the above applications. I thought that i had managed to assign the appropriate function keys in Spark to their volume counterparts, but it had no effect. Below is a screen shot. Do you see anything amiss?

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.

I had a mac pro system..from last 2 days the keyboard is not working properly..if i typed a key but it displayed 2 or 3 keys..what is the problem? is keyboard gone..?

Hey ynareshbabu,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issues with your keyboard. The following article provides some great troubleshooting steps:

You may want to refer to the "Some keys don't work as expected" section.

Bottom row of the keyboard is not working in a vertical orientation on the iPhone 3Gs. the "slide to unlock" and all keys on the calculator on both orientation works fine. I can use the keyboard on horizontal orientation.

Bottom row of the keyboard is not working in a vertical orientation on the iPhone 3Gs. the "slide to unlock" and all keys on the calculator on both orientation works fine. I can use the keyboard on horizontal orientation. The tabs on bottom of all apps also work fine.
I have already tried holding down the power button and home button for 10 seconds, but no difference.

I've had this problem on and off for the last few weeks (around, but not directly related, to upgrade to 6.1...can't remember if was before or after)....I'm very convinced it's a software problem (as there have been times when the bottom row works perfectly, without any need to "press" differently or anything).
However, it seems to be a rather resilient software issue, as a full restore does not consistently fix it, and it applies to more than just the keyboard; if I open a drawing app, there's definitely a row (about 4mm up from the edge of the screen closest to home button) where I cannot draw.
It's happened 4 times now. Originally it went away with a restore from backup, then worked for 2 more days. The second and third times, it went away with a full restore (although I did two full restores in between those two restores that did nothing, so restore didn't consistently fix it)....and it seemed to return in the most random of circumstances.
I paid very close attention to what apps I was using the last time it was working so that I could spot which app, if any, might be causing the issue. I deleted several apps, I stopped using the games and many other apps. I only used three apps between it working fine and starting up as a problem again: mail, safari and messages.
I was convinced it was mail, as it happened this morning when I picked up my phone off the bedside table to respond to a new email. It was working when I went to bed. I picked up the phone when it buzzed, hit the email app, hit reply and started to type....**** bottom row wasn't working again.
However, tonight I did 2 things....one of them worked because it went back to normal (sorry, I don't know which as I was exasperated and trying a number of things).
The two things I did between a broken keyboard and a working keyboard were:
1) adding a second keyboard (English(Canada)), changing to this keyboard, and changing back
2) disabling Siri...and then turning it back on...and then disabling Siri's "Raise to Speak"
In retrospect, I wonder if it actually was the "Raise to Speak" that was putting the phone into a weird state, and might explain why the phone would just "suddenly" start behaving strangely when I picked it up. Of note, the "raise to speak" hasn't actually triggered Siri to come on in months anyway.
Regardless, the keyboard is back to normal now...and I'm just going to leave "Raise to Speak" off. I've put the keyboard back to just "English" with no alternates and Siri remains on otherwise without issue.

Keyboard issue I have a iMac thats about 4 years old, and now the keyboard is not working properly. some keys do not work. Any suggestions ?

I think I may have a virus! My keyboard is not working properly. When I press the zero key, it doesn't appear. Other keys that do not work include the directional keys, delete key, and others. I tried everything that I can think of to fix it, but nothing sesems to be working. Should I bring the keyboard and=/or the entire computer into my local Apple store+? see, the +? appears before the question mark, and I didn't put it there! Thanks!

No need to take the computer at this stage. Just take the keyboard into your local Apple store for examination. If you have another machine, not necessarily Apple, you could try the board on that or perhaps a friend's machine … they are largely universal.
You do not have a virus.
