Please read title

Hello PBnanas,
I would be concerned too if the spacebar was not responding correctly. I found an article that can assist with troubleshooting issues with keys not responding correctly.
I recommend following the steps under the section titled, "Some keys don't work as expected" in the following article to isolate and troubleshoot the issue you described:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

My apple wireless keyboard got wet a year ago i sprayed the cleaning spray on it some of the keys are working but some of the keys aren"t working. it got sprayed a year ago What should i do??? Can it be recovered plz tell?

There is almost no chance it can be recovered, except at a cost far greater than a new keyboard. Once wet, spraying with a cleaner will not do any good and most likely will make the situation worse.
Best thing at this point is go to your Apple store, or the on-line store, and buy a new keyboard. Water damage is not covered by the warranty or AppleCare.

Is it possible to lock the numeric keyboard on the iPad mini so that I do not have to go back to the regular keyboard every time I press the space button?

Is it possible to lock the onscreen numeric keyboard on the iPad mini so that I do not have to go back to the regular keyboard every time I press the space button?

Thanks so very much!! You ROCK! I took your second suggestion and went into the iPad settings menu and then into the app. From there I was able to mute the sound effects I wanted. Really appreciate your help.
Cheers!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

There is something wrong with the volumes buttons in my macbook pro, every time i pressed the one who raises the volume, it leads me to the screen where (i do not no what its called) the background is black with the date and time and a calculator. However, when i lower it, my safari tab goes out of the screen. What do you guys think i should do? I'm getting very nervous.

hey HAbrakian!
You may want to try using the information in this article to adjust the behavior of your function keys to see if that resolves the behavior:

Any ideas on how to control the amount of sustain pedal data that Logic Pro 9 records? Every time I press the sustain pedal down, it records 4 sustains. Same thing when I release the pedal. Thanks!

This gets confusing, you have two Macs with different issues and two pedals with different issues? First let's sort out what's what. So, do the issues come from the pedals or from the Mac software? To find out, simply switch the pedals and note their behaviour. No change: it's the software, change: it's the pedals (imho the most likely scenario).
Second, what kind of pedals are they? Can you name the type of pedal too? The Yamaha what and the Mgear which?
Third, with the 4 fold data problem, are the doubled events simultaneous, or a few ticks apart, or more?
Also, you have no MIDI keyboard? Are the pedals both "standalone"?
I think you have to sort this problem at its' source, which are the pedals. You could, if push really comes to shove, perhaps create some sort of ingeneous/elaborate transformer setup in the environment to filter the extra messages, although with the 4/4 sustain events that may not even be possible. With the "stepped" events you could set up a filter to just block all events with values 20-110 or so.
But much better would be to configure the pedal(s) correctly.

Every time I press the delete tab in Safari it either returns to my previous web page or crashes? Drivinh me nuts!

Every time I press the delete tab in Safari it either returns to my previous web page or crashes?

Launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. If that doesn’t work, then in the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash logs related to Safari, WebProcess, or PluginProcess. Select the most recent one of each and post the contents -- the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.)

Why do three new tabs open every time I press the "home" icon?

Three new tabs open every time I press the home icon. I and two others have looked through all my settings and have contacted Mozilla (no response) and can't figure out why this is happening? Anyone have a clue how to stop this incredibly annoying problem from continuing?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Upon install of Windows 7

See [[How to set the home page]]: Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Error Message Every Time I Close the Prefs Box

Since I upgraded to iTunes 5 (now on 5.0.1) I get an error message every time I close the Preferences box: "An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
I am the administrator of my computer; in fact, mine is the only user account so I have to be the administrator.
I get this error message even though I am not trying to change the audio file associations. Weird.
Anyone else run into this problem?
Any suggestions?
thanks
Paul D.

FWIW, I get the same error message. My audio has gotten incredibly choppy too (after upgrading to 5.x), whenever I have another process running on XP that's doing much of anything, regardless of the encoding bit rate of the song being played! Ugh.

Every time i press the shift key it launches the style editor.

after i updated firefox every time i press the shift button the style editor pops up

I never spilled anything on it, as I'm pretty OCD about my MBA, but I think you're on the right track. I fixed it by pressing the command key on the right side of the board. Maybe some dust or other stuff underneath the other key preventing it from making contact. Thanks!

Apple Wireless Keyboard Spacebar insensitive

Hi everyone, I'm having problem with my spacebar because the sides are totally not sensitive at all. I just want to know if there should be 'nipples' attached to the sides - just like the one in the middle. This keyboard is unfortunately out of warranty and the insentivity is driving me crazy.
Based on this photo, can anyone check if this isnorm

Digging around I have just found this on Google. If you are prepared in the final instance to replace your keyboard, this could help you find out what is wrong.

Apple Wireless Keyboard lost connection when "command+space" is pressed

Hi, my apple wireless keyboard lost connection when command and space key was pressed. it does not lost connection when other keys combination was pressed. Are there any people has the same problem with me?
I am using Emacs all the time, the command and space key is the default short cut for Mark in Emacs. It is constantly used in my daily work. The wireless keyboard does not lost connection always, but it does lost connection sometimes. I have observed every time it lost connection, the command + space was pressed. Really strange. Any advice?
I am using Macbook Pro 13inch Late 2012, OSX 10.9.1, and Apple Wireless Keyboard

Got the keyboard working again, here how incase it can help anyone else:
I borrowed a USB keyboard to allow me to get past the pasword login.
First I rang disk utitlity to repair any permissions. I opended up the app 'Bluetooth Setup Assistant' selected 'Keyboard' then I turned the keyboard 'on' so the green light is flashing' and then hit continue. At this point the keyboard appears in the listing of found items, hitting continue I am then given a unique pairing code. Enter this on the keyboard and hit 'Return' after a few seconds, the pairing is complete and by wireless keyboard is back and working again!

Apple wireless keyboard won't let me delete without using the fn key.

My apple wireless keyboard won't let me delete in indesign without using the fn key. Is there a key command that I accidentally hit that causes that or something? I've never had this happen before. It isn't happening in any other program, just indesign cs4. Has anyone had this happen and how do I fix it?

I figured it out. My keyboard shortcut set in indesign was corrupt. I went back to the default set and created a new set and the delete key started working again.

Hello, my apple wireless keyboard is showing mission control when I press C, D, E, 3 or F3. I've tried resetting settings but it still does it!

I have a 27 inch iMac, Mid 2011 fully updated running OS X 10.8.4.

Hey all,
As with most of you, I'm experiencing the same issues with both my mouse and keyboard not pairing after changing batteries. I spoke with my tech guy at work and he knows of the problem and told me how to fix it - which I tried but couldn't do it. So I brought them into work and gave then to my tech guy just to see if they would pair with another Mac G5. He was having the same problem but was able to get them to pair. This is what he did -
1. Ran the BT set up.
2. When he made it to the enter passkey and typed in the PK but it didn't work, he would hit the continue button, turn the keyboard off/on super fast and retype in the PK.
After a few times, it worked. He also suggested pulling the batteries out and placing them back in in the middle of the process. He doesn't know why this works other then saying "it's finicky".
Just one other note. He got my mouse to connect with no problem. I couldn't at home. I'm writing this at work and will try this solution tonight and let everyone know if it works for me.
Hope this helps

HT1338 my wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting for no reason, I press the side button and it connects again. Frustrating.

My wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting for no reason. Frustrating especially when you are going full on and nothing there. I press the button on the side and it connects again. Happening more frequently. Purchased in March.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
Marie

I just have to ask, Is the battery due to be replaced by any chance?
Hope this helps
