TS3048 caps lock does not light up

Have no way knowing whether it's in capital mode or not. Frustrating tryin to type in passwords. Any suggestions before calling Apple Care?

Thanks for your input, but actually I did the old "restart" and works fine now.

Caps Lock Does Not Work

The caps lock key on my 4 yr old MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8) does not work. It did at one time. The Keyboard was replaced a long time ago but that did not solve it.
If I log out and then back on as another user, it does work.
Where do I start to look for the cause.

Check in your keyboard settings on both accounts in System Preferences > Language and Text, and you may find a difference between the two regarding the behavior of the caps-lock key.
Or your caps-lock may be a little capricious, too...

TS3048 wireless keyboard does not work

Hello:
That is some sort of anomaly that I have also noticed. On the rare occasions when that happens, a restart corrects the issue.

Caps Lock LED not working in X unless I hold shift

Hi, I recently installed Arch, installed X and configured it as the wiki says, installed awesome and now I switched the language toggle to Caps Lock instead of Alt+Shift.
I hoped the LED would tell me what language I'm typing in. But I noticed the LED wasn't working (Num Lock LED does work however).
I looked on the forum and it said to use
kbd_mode -u
to switch the keyboard to UTF-8 and it'll be fine.
Now Scroll Lock works too (it didn't before), but Caps Lock does something weird, it lights up for a split second then immediately turns back off. That unless I hold shift when I press Caps Lock, then it works fine, but I don't want to hold shift...
So how can I make it work?
EDIT: In the tty Caps Lock works fine.
Thanks.

Standard troubleshooting procedures in order are power the iPhone off and on, Reset, Restore and if no change after and or all in order, call AppleCare (800) 694-7466 or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.
Although others may have experienced the same, this does not mean the majority have.

Keyboard delete and caps lock keys not working after update

Shortly after a windows update two keys, delete and caps lock do not work. I have tried the following
1. system restore..it says it cannot restore as a file is missing. I have used this function before without any problem.
2. Update key board driver (standard PS/2)..it says latest version is installed.
3. Uninstall and reinstall.
4. Reset using the remove batteryt hold down power key option.
The caps lock and delete does not work in Notepad or MS Word.
It seems unlikely that the two keys themselves are damaged as it is unlikely that they would both fail at the same time and the problem after the windows undate is suspicious.
I am using Windows 7 Home premium on a 64 bit HP G62.
help appreciated as ever
thanks

Here's another test...since your laptop has USB ports get or borrow a USB keyboard and try it and if all those keys work and test then the results would mean your laptop keyboard has stop functioning as least you narrow done the problem.

HT1192 Caps Lock is not working in my mac, after pressing long time too.

Caps Lock is not working in my mac, after pressing long time too.Please help me to sort this problem out.

I think even in newer versions of OS X there is a slight delay; just not so pronounced. My advice to get around it would be to install PCKeyboardHack and KeyRemap4MacBook - then do a couple of things:
Change the Caps Lock key in System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys to "None"
Use PCKeyboardHack to remap Caps Lock to keycode 110, the PC Application Key, which is unused on Apple keyboards.
Then use KeyRemap4Macbook to map that particular keycode to Toggle Caps Lock.Try selecting For PC Users > Change PC Application Key > Application Key to CapsLock.
I'm pretty sure that should get rid of the delay, which only happens when Apple is in charge of connecting the Caps Lock key to its action.
Really, though, I would personally recommend doing some much more awesome things with your Caps Lock key; it's prime keyboard real estate, and who uses caps lock anyway, except in the darkest corners of the Internet? Personally, I've remapped Caps to be Escape (for use in my text editor) when you press it by itself quickly, but to be Cmd+Opt+Ctrl+Shift when you press it with any other key. I call it the "Hyper" key, and use it to switch applications; Hyp+S = Safari, Hyp+D = email, Hyp+F = Finder... The point is, be creative, make the Caps Lock key work for you.
Oh, and the real Escape key maps to Caps Lock, so I can use it if I want to.

Caps lock button not sensitive enough

I just bought a new macbook air , and I found that the caps lock button not as sensitive as other buttons, what should I do now ?
I have to press a bit longer and harder to make it detected.
thanks!

I'm not sure if you've resolved this issue but I solved the problem by removing the charger plug, then the battery. While the battery is out, push the power button. Reinstall the battery and reconnect power. When the notebook rebooted, the caps lock light and num lock lights were once again working.

HT1459 Just bought a new ipod shuffle for my kid and cannot set it up because it does not show up in itunes. Also the charging light does not light up. what could be wrong, as i am able to see both my iphone and ipad on itunes on the same pc?

Just bought a new 4th gen iPod Shuffle for my kid. Problem is I cannot do the initial set up, as the device does not show up on iTunes on my PC. Also the charging does not light up. Any ideas on what could be wrong, as I am able to see both my iphone and iPad on iTunes using the same PC?

I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

When i connect my ipod nano to my computer it does not light up and i get a message saying the usb devive has malfunctioned

I need some help here as I believe my ipod nano has crashed or something is terribly wrong. When I plug in the usb to my laptop I get a message saying the usb device has malfunctioned. My ipod does not light up. I have tried powering it on manually and nothing works. Help, this is going to ruin my workouts!!!

I'm not sure what the glitch was, but after I posted the problem, I called Apple and got a rep to walk me through some troubleshooting tips such as holding down the nano power button while plugging in the usb cable....nothing worked. Eventually, they scheduled a maintenance /replacement service.
I got the box yesterday and was about to put it in for shipping to Apple, when I decided to try connecting it to my laptop one last time. Viola! it started back up again and is currenting syncing as I type. Guess it was just a bad glitch of some sort. Anyone with a similar issue, perhaps you may want to wait a few days and see if it solves the issue.I hope this helps.

All the fonts are in caps and the cap lock is not on. PSE 8

all the fonts are in caps and the cap lock is not on. PSE 8 Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

Suggest that you reset preferences. This will frequently correct things like you are experiencing.
Windows
Step 1. Hold down the Alt + Ctrl + Shift keys as you click on the icon to open Elements. When asked if you want to delete the settings file, say yes.
Step 2. Reset the preferences .
Step 3. Close Elements and let the file regenerate.

My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

Do you have your Assistive Touch on? Per another user in another forum:
Source: http://forums.imore.com/ios-6-forum/240631-auto-lock-not-working-ios-6-a.html. Username: Chambaka
Okay, I did a 'reset all settings' in settings and problems fixed. Hope this can be useful for others.
Edit: it appears that when the assistive touch is on the autolock function won't work while in the home screen, but will work if opening a app. I hope Apple fixes this bug in the next update.
I tried what he said and my auto-lock's working again - so, I turned off my Assistive Touch. Hope Apple fixes this bug soon,

MacBook Pro will not start up, get start up chime but screen does not light up. Any help?

Upon start up I hear optical drive checked, then get a start up chime but the screen does not light up. I have shut down by holding down power butto for 10 seconds also pulled battery and A/C power.

I had this same issue but after a new hard drive/ram install.
What solved the issue - and I hope this helps someone else who has the same problem:
1). Install new hard drive (with or without osx pre installed) or leave old one in in your case.
2). Remove all ram
3). Power on and wait 1 minute
4). Hold power button until it turns off
5). Install ram
6). Power back on
7). BOOM! It works again.

[SOLVED] xss-lock does not die on logout

Hello,
I am trying to find a workaround for the problem I mentioned here
So far I have installed i3lock from the standard repository and xss-lock from the AUR. I disabled screen locking and screen blanking in Gnome. I added the following desktop files to both users ~/.config/autostart
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=xss-lock -- 'xautolock -locknow'
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_US]=SuspendLock
Name=SuspendLock
Comment[en_US]=AutoLock the screen before suspend
Comment=AutoLock the screen before suspend
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=xautolock -time 3 -locker 'i3lock -d -c 000000'
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_US]=XautoLock
Name=XautoLock
Comment[en_US]=AutoLock the screen
Comment=AutoLock the screen
I also added a custom keyboard shortcut:
xautolock -locknow
with the accelerator set to Super+L
So far, it seems like this will work fine. It seems to be working better than GDM locking. I have seen one problem thus far... If I log out of Gnome, xss-lock continues to run. If I log in again, I get a new xss-lock process. The original process continues to run and has one core at 100% load. If I log out again and log in again, I get yet another xss-lock process. This also runs at 100% load. This same phenomenon happens if I start the xss-lock from a terminal. xss-lock does not die on logout...
Why does xss-lock not die on logout?
Should I be using a systemd service file instead of xss-lock? I did try the service file, but it seems to work inconsistently because the DISPLAY variable continues to change.
Any suggestions?

Hi bnb2235,
I've seen the same behavior from xss-lock. This is what I've done to set things up with i3 on my laptop:
1) I don't use systemd and/or an autostart file for xss-lock
2) I start xss-lock with the following line near the end of my i3 config file:
exec --no-startup-id xss-lock -- i3lock -b -i /home/username/.config/i3/metal_grid_w_arch.png &
3) My i3 nagbar looks like so in the i3 config file:
# exit i3 (logs you out of your X session)
bindsym $mod+Shift+e exec --no-startup-id "/usr/bin/paplay /usr/share/sounds/Feather/beep.wav && i3-nagbar -f pango:Arimo -t warning -m 'WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?:' -b 'Shutdown?' 'systemctl poweroff' -b 'Reboot?' 'systemctl reboot' -b 'Exit i3?' 'killall xss-lock && killall nm-applet && i3-msg exit'"
So I explicitly kill xss-lock and nm-applet priot to i3 being exited. This has kept xss-lock from exhibiting the behavior you describe (as well as prevents coredumps from nm-applet when i3 exits).
