The number pad on my wirelss keyboard has stopped working...help!

Hi All,
New to macs, I have a new interl-based iMac with a wireless keyboard and mouse. Yesterday the number pad stopped working. The CD eject and sound buttons still work, but the numbers themselves do not - in fact when I use them, the whole machine freezes and I can not do anything. I was playing around in the system preferences yesterday - did I click something I should not have? Or is the keyboard faulty and in need of going back to the apple store for replacing?
I have updated the machine fully, including the latest keyboard update, but the same resulting freezing occurs when I press a number on the pad.
Any suggestions very much appreciated.

Sorted it - I had looked, but not found any answer through the discussions already posted. But I just found this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3131735&#3131735 and it has sorted it!

  • My number pad on my aluminum keyboard has stopped responding. How can I get the response back?

    Once I press a number key on the pad, the rest of the keyboard also fails to respond, especially when I'm in Chrome on the internet. I'm wondering if it has to do with the browser, too, since once I force quit and go to Safari, the cursor works--but not the keypad, unfortunately.Now, even the numbers on the keyboard don't work.  Any help out there?
    Thanks.
    Joanne

    Found the answer in Apple Support: the Mouse key was turned on in Universal access. Once I turned it off, I got the use of the keyboard back.
    Oops; nope, that didn't work as I expected, either. The keypad works in some spaces but not in all; for example, when I try to enter numbers to change information in my profile, numbers won't type. But they do in other spaces.

  • The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working. Help!

    The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working with my Macbook pro.  If I plug the keyboard into any other computer, that entier key works fine. I'm using a standard Mac wired keyboard, & it's worked fine for 2 years now. Help!
    This is the keyboard I am using: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B/apple-keyboard-with-numeric-keypad
    Not sure what I might have accidentily done to disable the enter key. (The normal enter key works fine, just the one on the numeric keypad.)
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi there,
    Do you have any resolution to this problem in the end? Because it happened to me an exact same thing.
    Please share if you have found a solution to your problem. I also cannot think of what I did wrong to disable the Enter key.
    Best Regards,
    Jeffri

  • The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working.

    The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working. I've already done a soft reset, hard reset, and restored it to a new device. What else can I do?

    When you are using other applications, or just on the home screen, does that area of the screen respond to touch?
    Steps to resolve issue (I understand you have done what you have but it's always good to try again):
    Clean the iPhone screen with the cleaning cloth that came in the box with the iPhone.
    Do not wear gloves while using the touchscreen. Do not use the touchscreen with wet hands or immediately after applying hand lotion. Moisture affects touchscreen behavior in the same manner as it affects a trackpad.
    If you have a protective plastic sheet or film on the touchscreen, try removing it because it may be preventing the touchscreen from working properly.
    The current application may not be responding (frozen), press and hold the Home button below the screen for a least six seconds, until the application you were using quits.
    If that doesn't work, turn the iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the iPhone for few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't work, reset the iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement, if necessary, even if your iPhone is out of warranty. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the iPhone Service FAQ.
    Tip: If you are going to take your iPhone into a Apple Retail Store for evaluation, follow these steps to help the Mac Genius understand where your touch screen is experiencing unresponsiveness.
    Open the basic calculator application to test all but the top row of the screen. Press each button on the calculator and verify activity.
    To test the area at the top of the screen, rotate the iPhone to change to the scientific calculator and press all the buttons in the left two rows. (An original iPhone must have iPhone 2.0 software installed to access the scientific calculator feature.)
    To test the touchscreen function at the top of the screen of an original iPhone without the iPhone 2.0 software, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. If the slider does slide, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears to turn iPhone on again.

  • My Apple Bluetooth keyboard has stopped working. The top row of keys works but the rest of the keys do not. I was carrying this in my computer bag without turning it off and that is when this started.

    My apple bluetooth keyboard has stopped working. The top row of keys works and the iPad sees the bluetooth keyboard (the bluetooth icon is active) but the other keys do not work. For the past coupld of days I have carried my keyboard in my computerbag without turning it off and I am thinking I have done something to make the letter keys to stop working. Two days in a row I did turn on the music as I carried the computer bag into work so I know that some keys were being activated.

    *UPDATE*
    I have been able to use the Zoom function to zoom in and the keys on the top row no longer are in the non-responsive strip of area.

  • My keyboard has stopped working on my iMac I bought a new keyboard and still not working any ideas?

    MY keyboard has stopped working on my iMac I bought a brand new one and the keys work but the volume buttons do not operate the volume I've changed it twice now and the same thing is still happening

    What is the make & model number of the keyboard?
    You could get a keyboard remapping program & map someother key to the volumn key.
    There is a list of them in this thread.

    Hi

  • My keyboard has stopped working. How do I fix it?

    Hello!
    Today I got back to work after my summer vacation and for some reason my keyboard has stopped working.
    I tried with my collegues keyboard but that didn't work either.
    The keyboard works if I give my virtual machine in Parallels direct access to it, but not in OSX so it's probably not a hardware issue. (This is how I am writing this)
    The caps-lock light works even when connected to osx. Mouse works perfectly in osx.
    I am running 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro 2x2.8ghz xeon 12gb RAM.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a bunch!
    /Hannes

    I upgraded to Mountainlion and the problem not only persisted, but also worsened.
    Any button I pressed, it restarted.
    I have removed a couple of apps I had installed, for example Double Command which I think might have been the culprit, and now the computer works fine again.
    Big relief!

  • HT2452 my imac keyboard has stopped working? help!!!

    my imac keyboard has stopped working??? help!!!!!

    My keyboard just stopped working out of the clear. One minuet OK next it was dead. No little green light at all. New batteries did not help.
    FIXED THE PROBLEM!  I took a small piece of aluminum, made a little ball out of it and dropped it down the tube where the batteries go. Replaced the batteries I had just used......little green light comes on and the the keyboard functions like always.
    My guess is after a few years the contacts oxidize a bit and don't make contact with the batteries on the bottom of the tube. Give it a try.

  • My Mac USB keyboard has stopped working

    Hi,
    I have a less than 6 month old fully loaded iMac 3.4 ghz i7.  Overnight my USB (alphanumeric keyboard has stopped working.  Had to dig out a wireless keyboard from another mac to login.  The tried unplugging and moving the USB.  ( All USB ports works and are powered up with other devices )  No change.  Tried full system reset with power cord removed for 5 minutes,  no change.  Tried it all twice,  no cahnge.
    Typing this on wireless keyboard and hoping someone can confirm if Mac has pushed an update that forgets about the keyboard or if there is known issues with the usb wired keyboard that means they have suddenly got a life of less than 6 months?

    Not any updates I know of, but if there were Software Update would offer them. Have you tried and SMC and PRAM reset - sometimes sorts out odd issues?

    I had to restore my iMac from Time Machine. After the restoration all programs are functioning except my Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium. When I start any program in the suite the error message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I restarted the computer and tried again to run Photoshop and the same error message appeared. The message was followed by a message that stated that I needed to contact Adobe technical support and mention Error: 150.30. I need Adobe technical support to provide me a solution for my problem so I can continue using my Adobe products installed on my computer.

    Unfortunately when Adobe products are restored from backup, especial CS4 and especially Mac, it breaks licensing.
    There is a python script included in the license recovery kit that should work if you are familiar with Terminal.
    If not, you must reinstall your CS4 suite.  You don't need to delete your preferences, so it should be the same as before.

    trying to launch photoshop cs3 on a mac running OS10.6.8 i keep getting the error message: Licensing for this product has stopped working  you cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT adminstrator or Adobe customer support for help
    I already Uninstalled and reinstalled the product and it still does not work.

    Hi,
    Try to uninstall the software again and you have to manually
    Delete the following folders:
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/backup
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
    Go to Applications-->Utilities-->Disk Utility, Open it and Select the MAC HD and then click on Repair permissions.
    After that try to run the cleaner tool as mentioned by kglad.
    Restart machine and then try to install again.
    *** Make sure , you only delete these folders if there is no other adobe applications installed on the machine. As if you have any other Adobe application of the suite ( not free applications ) then it will be a problem.

    Help?

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
