Keyboard keys dont work in Mac OSx

The following keys suddenly stop working and then continue working randomly: F1 to F7, but the F keys work (eg to show desktop) and also the right (and only the right) shift key.
This does not depend on what software I have running and happens very very frequently.
If I bring up the Keyboard Viewer when the problem exists, the keys also dont get registered on the keyboard viewer.
This is really annoying and happens in Mac OSx, not in Windows - although volume and brightness keys dont work (all the time) in Windows - less of an issue though.
Any suggestions??

I'm having a similar problem. But it is not intermittent, they just don't work.
What can I do to fix this? If I use my wireless keyboard, it isn't a problem. Just when I use my laptop by itself...

Most keyboard shortcuts dont work

hello, most of the editing keyboard short cuts like crtl + c and so on dont work. however the shortcuts work for undo and save, set inpoint etc. i dont understand, they are all marked correctly in the commands list..anyone??

With at least Page Up/Page Down and Ctrl+K, they are dependent on having target tracks active. Click the track selectors in the header area (far left side of the timeline panel) to activate one or more tracks. Now, those shortcut keys should be effective.

Keyboard Volume Controls working erratically

Hi,
I'm experiencing a strange issue with the mac keyboard volume controls. I have the system set to output both sound and sound effects to some external speakers via the line-out (set in System Prefs). Whenever I reboot my MacPro, the volume control keys stop working with the line-out and revert to controlling the built-in speaker. However, iTunes etc still output via the line-out.
If I try and reset the values in the System preferences, OS X switches the outputs around, but stubbornly leaves the volume keys controlling the internal speaker. If I switch to another User ID, then eveything works fine.
The volume keys had been working fine with the line out and external speakers until this morning...nothing new installed! So i'm puzzled as to why the sudden change! The only thing that was done differently before the shudown was to run the daily/weekly/monthly jobs, but they shouldn't have messed anything up.
I've tried the following 'fixes' which I've found in the forums, but without any permanent success:
1) Check Software Update - all up to date.
2) Reset PRAM - no effect at all.
3) Reset SMC - no effect at all.
4) Hold down power button until power light flashes - no effect at all.
5) Verify permissions - no effect at all.
6) Deleting the ~/Library/preferences/com.apple.BezelServices.plist file then logging out/rebooting. This resolves the issue until I reboot the Mac..then back to square one again. When I check the non-working bezelservices.plist against the one for the working User ID, there is no difference.
Anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this irritating bug - it's almost as bad as having a windows PC back again ?

I've been using SoundSource for a while now because I was having similar problems:
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/freebies/
I often switch between internal speaker, line out and imic depending on the time of day and what I'm listening to/watching.
SoundSource doesn't completely fix the problem but it does make it easier for switching outputs. I've found that if the kb controls get stuck on one output, I just switch the output in SoundSource to something else and then back to the preferred one and everything works again. Only takes a few seconds...

Keyboard volume not working with airport

Hi I have set up my Airport with my hifi and love it, the only thing I don't like is that I cannot use the keyboard volume control. The onscreen control and the hifi control are fine, but i would like to set the keyboard volume controls to work. Anyone know how to do this? I'm sure I used to be able to do it! Thanks

1.Plug in and remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    Try this even if you don’t see the red light.
2. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

Does your keyboard not work at all or only in X? If your keyboard doesn't work at all, boot into a live CD (so that your keyboard works) and post your /var/log/everything.log. If your keyboard works everywhere but in X, post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
-- edit: If you are positive that you ONLY upgraded your kernel, just boot a live CD and post your everything.log.

TS3048 wireless keyboard volume button brings up dashboard?

everytime i hit the volume button the dashboard pops up how can i fix this?

Put truly fresh batteries in the keyboard.
Un-pair and re-pair the keyboard with the computer.
Attempt the PRAM reset again.
If you do not get the 2 boot chimes then I would suggest you reset using a USB keyboard. Any USB keyboard will do. If you don't get the 2 chimes when using a USB keyboard then either you are not holding down the keys correctly / early enough or there is something wrong with the computer itself.
If you do get the 2 boot chimes you can then go back to the wireless keyboard and re-pair it.
Take a peak at this article. It is fairly exhaustive in troubleshooting suggestions for this type of issue: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048
Hope that helps.

In-ear headphone + iphone 4 + gym/workout volume dont works

I was at the gym listening music with my iphone 4 + in-ear headphones, and suddenly the remote control headphone only able to pause or go play in the songs.
I searched the forum and saw that there are cases with normal headphone (notin-ear).
I tested it with normal headphones and everything works normally.
Does anyone know what might have happened?

Apple keyboard volume keys no longer working on bootcamp windows

i have the wired full size apple keyboard and the only keys that dont work are the volume adjusters and brightness adjusters is there any way to fix? they were working fine yesterday

Well, after digging around in the settings, searching and searching for a solution, all of a sudden, it's working again and I have absolutely no idea why as I didn't change anything. So, if anyone still konws why this would disappear (weeks and weks ago) and now reappear, I'd still like to hear the solution in case it happens again.

Volume button dont work correctly

Hello,
I have iPhone 4S on 5.1.1 which I bought in September last year.
Yesterday when I listen to music with my iPhone I found out the the MINUS volume button dont work correctly.
It's need to push him hard to decrease the volume. however the PLUS volume button work correctly.
In addition there is no "click" sound when I press the minus volume button.
what should I do?
I live in ISRAEL and there isn't Apple Store here so the only solution for me is to contact the carrier which I bought the iPhone from them but they probably will require payment for the repair.

sorry but i actually need to use the volume buttons Jujusoccer11
i've tried resetting already and restoring from back up already but still has the same problem lllaass,
i'll try restoring to factory defaults now, i hope it works

Right-click on Magic Mouse and Volume Controls on Wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working

I am running Mavericks 10.9.2 on an Late 2012 iMac.
One morning the right click on my Magic Mouse and the volume controls on the wireless keyboard stopped working.
These mouse and keyboard themselves seem fine; they work okay ehn used on a MacBook.
Everything else about the mouse and keyboard is fine.
This seems to be a problem what has been around for a whole, with a wide variety of solutions.
I have read
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16799039#16799039
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23474052#23474052
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19660884#19660884
and have tried
Clicking on and off the 'right click' checkbox in the Mouse System Preferences - No effect
Deleting /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist - No effect
Restarting in Safe Mode - When starting in safe mode, the computer crashes out and restarted
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM - Is it CTRL+CMD+P+R or CMD+OPT+P+R ? Neither work for me (I do try it using a wired keyboard, but never get the double chime)
Upgraded to 10.9.2 - no effect
Moved the /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHIDMouse.kext and AppleHIDKeyboard.kext and and back in (and re-authenticate) - No joy
Moved the /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHIDMouse.kext and AppleHIDKeyboard.kext from a working MacBook on same OS - Made the keyboard misbehave even more
Has anyone got any other cures for this?
Thanks in advance.

Here is what worked for me. My scrolling on the mighty mouse and a few buttons on my wireless keyboard weren't working properly. I reset the SMC, a link explaining the process is below. Hope it helps you too!
