Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Install Double Command, available from http://doublecommand.sourceforge.net/ . This will allow you to specifically disable the caps lock key. Make sure it will work with 10.3.9 before installing.

Unix command to turn "off" caps lock or turn it "on" on lab machines

Hi,
I'd like to be able to send a unix command to a lab of panther eMacs. I'm using Apple Remote Desktop 3.2 I would like to send both "turn on cap locks" to all the machines, or "turn off cap locks to all the machines.
Many of my "Send Unix Command" are applescripts (osascript....) so either a unix command or applescript command would be welcome.
Thanks!

Well, I've been busy trying some things and found a beautiful little applescript that will turn off caps lock on 10.4 machines and newer. I'll paste it in below. Here's the problem...
I can't seem to get it to run in ARD as a unix command. (I put the osascript as first line when I pasted it in... This usually works for sending applescript commands)
So, any ideas on how to get it to run as a unix command??
IS THERE ANYWAY TO GET THIS TO WORK ON PANTHER MACHINES?? (they don't have the "modify keys..." button in the keyboards and mice pane of sys prefs). The bulk of our machines (over 300 are eMacs running panther).
*** script ******
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.keyboard"
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "System Preferences"
get properties
click button "Modifier Keys…" of tab group 1 of window "Keyboard & Mouse"
tell sheet 1 of window "Keyboard & Mouse"
click pop up button 1
click menu item "No Action" of menu 1 of pop up button 1
delay 3
click button "OK"
end tell
end tell
end tell
tell application "System Preferences" to quit

That's weird! I've written the link properly but somehow it got banjaxed.
A Brody has posted a direct link.
Sorry about the duff link, Apple Forum SW glitch?

The fault was mine, but I finally got past THAT misunderstanding. Now...hey, everything's finally okay. The Caps Lock key is lighted up, but I'm typing small letters.
Thanks for your help. I have to wonder, though, why they make such a simple change so difficult. Well, the important thing is that I finally fixed the problem with your help. Thanks a million.

Turn off caps lock/num lock

Mine is stuck on. Supposedly you turn it off by simply pressing the shift key. On my phone this changes it back and forth from num lock to caps lock. Help please!

Turn Off Caps Lock Notification (Tried many ways but none work)

I recently bought a Lenovo Y50-70 and I use Caps lock for gaming but the black and yellow icon notification for caps lock is very annoying. I have Windows 8.1 and I'm looking to looking to turn this option off.
I have researched ways to end this but have tried going into regedit, Display, Ease of Access and msconfig to no avail.
There is no Widcomm file in my registry, Display's advanced settings do not have an option and neither does Ease of Access.
I know that I can turn off all on screen notifications and therefore solve this problem but I don't want to do that. If anyone has an answer, much will be appreciated.

As I understand your problem only occur while playing a game, why not look into the game's setting?

In order to remove HPKEYBOARD status from your startup programs, you will need to disable by following this document on Using Microsoft System Configuration (Windows 7). The Quick Launch application responsible for HPKEYBOARD should be among the services to disable.

How to turn off caps lock on my droid

So, since I downloaded to new update, my keyboard is automatically set up on caps lock. It's really annoying having to change it every time I text. I've looked at the settings options, but can't figure out how to change this. Anyone know what I should do? Or have any suggestions? Thanks!

When you first open your messenger and the keyboard comes up, hold the CAPS LOCK for 3 seconds and it will switch to lower case. Then exit the messager and go back in to see if it is set to lower case. Let me know if that works.

TS1578 I can't turn off caps on my air ... It's driving me crazy !

Pls help ... No matter what I do I can't turn off caps on my mac air ... Help

Your caps lock may be physically stuck on in which case you may need to use Apple Warranty to get it fixed. Is the little green light on the Caps Lock key illuminated? Does it go off if you press the caps lock key?
Before taking it in to Apple, first try switching the computer off and then back on again - this may reset it.
If not, try a PRAM reset:

Turn off scroll lock

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and cannot turn off scroll lock, so when using Excel the arrow keys move the spreadsheet rather than the next cell. I have searched numerous threads and all refer to F14 plus either shift or command but I can't find any reference to the shortcut for F14.

Hi,
I had the same problem (Macbook Air) and the only way I could solve it was by plugging in a USB keyboard (it was a microsoft keyboard) then pressing shift-Scroll Lock.
Simply pressing Scroll-Lock only activated the keyboard illumination control so did not work.

HT4113 Can not turn off passcode lock

I can not turn off passcode lock. I see it and it is grayed out. I can change the password, etc. but I can not turn it off I plugged the phone into a friends computer a few days ago to charge it. Does that have something to do with it?

There is an exchange account on the device and the Admins of that account require a passcode lock on the device.

Turning off Opportunistic Locking in Windows 2012 Server?

I have recently switched my database hosting and am having trouble with "Hour Glass" for about 20-30 seconds when trying to save files. I have contacted my application company (Resumate..........database,CRM built on an ACCESS type platform)
and we are brainstorming solutions.
One solution is to turn off opportunistic locking as Windows might actually be locking the file (We have five users using the same file connecting using Remote Desktop Services). Our system has worked seemlessly with our other hosting
option but this delay when trying to save files is not acceptable.
SO, HOW DO WE TURN OFF OPPORTUNISTIC LOCKING IN WINDOWS SERVER 2012 R2?
Thanks Phil H. Charlotte, NC

Hi,
As you may notice that we cannot disable Opportunistic locking in using SMB2 or SMB3.
See:
https://login.live.com/kb/296264/en-us
The opportunistic locking registry keys are valid only for traditional SMB (SMB1). You cannot turn off opportunistic locking for SMB2.
From your description it is the limitation of the application - SMB2 comes with Windows Vista /Windows 2008, which means the vendor of the application did not recommend to use SMB2 or the application is released for earlier systems while SMB2 is not available
at that time.
If there is no update version, you can try to disable SMB2/3 on server to workaround it. Please run this cmdlet:
Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableSMB2Protocol $false
More information please refer to:
How to enable and disable SMBv1, SMBv2, and SMBv3 in Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012

Cannot turn off passcode lock on ipad ios 7.0.3

I am unable to turn off passcode lock on an iPad running IOS7.0.3. When I get to the screen in Settings > General > Passcode Lock, "Turn Passcode Off" is greyed out and cannot be used. Hence I am stuck with having to enter a passcode even though I don't want to any longer. The problem is not that I do not know the passcode, simply that I can't turn off the passcode lock. Any thoughts?

is this your iPad or one administered by someone else...for example if I use an iPad from work our IT policy dictates that I must use a passcode and I am not allowed to turn it off.
If it's yours, just a shot in the dark, do you have restrictions enabled? If so, go in and disable them then see if that will allow you to turn off the passcode lock.

how to fix my ipod touch, because everytime i use or i play games sometimes it will turn off/closed/lock....how to fixed that problem

Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
if still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Turn off optimistic locking to prevent ORA-20001

Hi there,
Is it possible to turn-off optimistic locking for tabular forms generated by wizard?
I am using APEX 2.2.0.
I am having ORA-20001 update errors, the only person who is using the form is me. I have read in this forum the solutions some of you have posted to resolve ora-20001 update or delete failures but they all do not work.
I have also read that a turn on and off future will be available in APEX 3.0
Do maybe know how I can turn-off the optimistic locking for my table.
Regards
RobH

I think that the checksum is calculated from the values in the editable fields (hidden or otherwise) when the query is done. If you disable a field later on then it is not included in the checksum for the multi-record update, so you'll get an error when you submit changes.
This isn't anything to do with whether fields are shown or not, but I've just encountered this problem and found there's nothing about it on the forums. Since your problem is also not on the forums I thought it might be the same thing.
