When pressing the "Caps Lock" button my homepage appears.

I am on the net watching anything on a page and when I press the button the browser goes to my homepage. How can I stop this.

Did you check for hardware keyboard problems?

Why do I have to hit the Caps Lock button a few times?

Okay, I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and the fact that I have to hit the Caps Lock button two or three times to actually turn on Caps Lock is quite frustrating. My friend on MacBook Air experiences same kind of issue? Are there any people with the same problem? Is it because something is fundamentally wrong with my Mac? Can I do something about it?

Having the same issue!!! After I haven't pressed the Caps Lock button for a while, I have to press the button twice for the light to come on. Had a MBA, talked to a Apple Care representative and they said that was a defect, returned the MBA, bought a MBP and now I am having the same issue. If it's any reassurance I noticed this same issue in a notebook display at an Apple Store. I'm wondering if I not actually pressing the button hard enough each time.

Must be serious because you have stated the problem 4 times now.
Here are a number of things that you can try and maybe one of them will help.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
You can also try going to the App Store, find an app that needs an update, tap on the app icon to bring up the description page, then tap on install that way, rather than using the Update option from the app updates screen.
And ... You can always install the updates in iTunes on your computer and then sync them to the iPad.

HT6162 Way to go Apple - Now the Caps Lock button in iOS 7.1 is even more confusing! Why not finally change the keyboard from lower to upper as needed?

Way to go Apple - Now the Caps Lock button in iOS 7.1 is even more confusing! Why not finally change the keyboard from lower to upper as needed?
Or, allow us to change the look of the keyboard as we would like? How simple would that be?
Thank you!

You can tell Apple directly at the link below.

When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. I can get a capital i only by pressing the cap lock key whats wrong.

When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. the only way I can get a capital i is by using the caps lock key what is going on. Also from time to time my mouse acts like someone is sitting on it. this stops when i press the command key. i am using the lateist wireless mouse and keypad.

does it only happen with the i key?
if it doesnt then try presing shift first then i (or any key) second instead of at the same time.
if it only happens with the i key then what i would do is take the keyboard and mouse to an apple store and ask them if they will hook it up on their computer to see if it is the keyboard or computer.

Can I have my HDX18 Notebook w Vista SP1 make a sound when I press the caps lock key?

I was able to do this with an older HP laptop running Windows XP. Cant find any info in "Help" or User manuals.

Hi, Warren - There used to be several small apps that let you remap the Caps Lock and other keys by assigning their functions to other keys that you may not use very often. There is a freeware app at the moment called DoubleCommand, for example, which allows you to assign the backslash key (\) to function as forward delete, instead of pushing fn + Delete. I don't know if any Tiger apps are able to reassign Caps Lock, but what I was mentioning above is that if you wanted, you could assign the Caps Lock function to the Control, Option or Command keys through the Keyboard pane in System Preferences. (I didn't mean that as a suggestion, though. I just meant to say that it was possible.)
Glad the first tip was helpful to you!
Good luck.

2: Air cleaned the power vents around the fan same again no boot.
3: Founf the LED code chart for the blinks mine appears to blink once and a pause then blink again

Thanks
Emmersond

Dear Customer,
Welcome and Thank you for posting your query on HP Support Forum
It looks like your Notebook has a blinking/flashing CAPSLOCK light and a blank screen all the time
Whenever the Capslock LED Blinks once that means CPU not functional and we need to replace the Processor
However, I would request with you to perform the below shown step before contacting HP
Step 01. Turn OFF the Notebook
Step 02. Un-plug the Power/AC Adapter and also remove the battery too
Step 03. Press and Hold the Power Button on the Notebook for a full minute
Step 04. Test your Notebook with Battery and Power Adapter alone
Note: If you are still facing the same issue try to remove and reseat the Memory Modules of your Notebook
Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again

Caps lock button issue (Mac book pro)

When i'm typing quick and need to type a letter in upper case at te same speed, it's not possible due the fact that even if i press the caps lock button, it does not work.
I've seen that many people has this issue, but i haven't seen any solution.
Could you please give me a solution if it exist.
Thanks
Cheers
Gero

I have not heard of this problem, and have been here for a while. I have three MacBook Airs (2012, 2011, 2010). All running Mountain Lion.
I rarely use caps lock, but use "shift'.
Please elaborate.

The Caps Lock Symbol shows up automatically in the password login box

All of a sudden this keeps happening, and I can't log on as the Administrator anymore, as I usually do.
When I restart the computer, the Caps Lock button lights up automatically, before I touch anything.
When I click on the ID that I want to use to log in, and type in the password, it doesn't work (presumably, because the letters are all cap, and my password is all lower case.
If I press the caps lock button to take it off, the caps lock symbol shows up in the Password box, so my password still doesn't work.
Any ideas on how to get rid of the automatic caps lock, when I can't even log in as Admin to make any changes?
I've already tried re-starting; taking the battery out and restarting...

I've figured out a way to log in as Admin, so I've solved that problem, and I've figured out that the problem is that the caps lock button is reversed somehow; when it is lit, then everything is lower case. If I hit it to take off the light, then everything is upper case. I'm sure there must be a way to solve that. I'm going to check on that now.

IMac Black Screen, making some progress with the CAPS LOCK key...What???!!!

Ok, super weird situation here. My friend brought me his iMac because when he turns it on, it makes the chime sound, the front light goes on, but the screen stays black.
The first thing I tried (as a former pc user) whas to start pressing the CAPS LOCK ON and OFF to see if the computer froze at some point, but to my surprise, after hitting the CAPS LOCK many times the screen appeared.
Ok, but the white screen with the gray apple was all distorted, the apple with be filled with little rainbow boxes and lines on the whole screen, so I thought, the Video converter might be bad.
But then, when I tried for the third of fourth time, it appeared the same white scren with the gray apple and the progress circle spinning again, but this time it looked perfect, BUT it froze, and it just stayed there.
Thats what I have so far......any ideas? I tried the Controlcommand+PR but it didnt do anything......
Thanks

It appears that the Mac is passing the Power On Start Test which results in the chime advising that the RAM seems OK. But there is something wrong with the boot volume. Try booting from the Install DVD that came with the Mac. In the Utilities menu of the Installer use Disk Utility to Repair Disk. In the left hand list choose the boot volume. On the right hand, in the First Aid pane press the Repair Disk button. Repeat until no repairs are reported.

Caps lock button acting very strange.

I recently got a Lenovo T420 thinkpad. Everything has been great until earlier today I tried to log-in to buzzport ( a GT website) and when I hit the caps lock button all these weird things happened. Google Chrome went into full screen, and the "elements" thing came up. Im not sure exactly what it is, but it looks like some sort of HTML code for the website. oh and if it also enters the text "09" when caps lock is pressed. well anyways, now this happens everytime I press caps lock. I opened notepad and pressed caps lock. The result was "09" followed by an endless stream of 1's which continued until I pressed caps lock again. This is very strange and I couldn't find any information about this on google. I don't know what could have caused this, but its very frustrating because this is a brand new laptop. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
edit: so i've been playing with it, and im convinced that basically instead of just doing what caps lock does, it is pressing a series of other buttons as well including the 09, the 1's, and opening what i now know is called the elements pannel which normally opens with ctrl + shift + C. so in other words, for some reason pressing caps lock preses the buttons "09 ctrl + shift + C 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111"
edit 2: ok it just got weirder. I fixed the problem...sort of. I started thinking about everything i have done differently today. I mean ive only had the lap top for a few days after all. tonight is the first night i used the mute button. i unmuted the laptop, and now everything is fine. if i mute, then caps lock acts weird again. I could just always go to zero volume rather than mute, but just as a curiosity, why is this happening? it makes no sense!

I noticed that some problems don't seem to get attention. I am typing this using a bluetooth keyboard on top of my G4 PowerBook, which is hardly an elegant solution to my caps lock problem. If I spend close to $2000 on a laptop, which is close to the most I spend on any consumer product after a house and car, is it unreasonable to expect that after a mere four years, it can be repaired, rather than simply tossed aside. I am an expat living in a SE Asian country without any Apple Authorised resellers etc. When I make the trip to Thailand to get my machine fixed, I'd like to know that someone there will know what to do to sort this problem, without me being faced with the prospect of having to pay a lot of money to buy a new one or replace hardware that is not in fact needing replaced. That is why I posted on this forum. Was I mistaken in thinking that in the entire Mac using community, there isn't more than one other person having the same issue as me? Is anybody from Apple aware of this problem and do they have any idea how to fix it? I'm not seeking to be antagonistic here, I'd just like to think that somebody, somewhere out there has some idea, what has gone wrong with my PowerBook and can help me get it fixed.
p.s I sorted out the large fuzzy Apple on startup by zapping the PROM, so that doesn't seem to be directly connected to the game of green light tennis I can now play between my caps lock and num lock keys. (My caps lock key is permanently lit and when I try to turn it off, it reduces the volume of my speakers and "types" "rfr" and other such gobbledegook.)

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.

When pressing the "Caps Lock" button my homepage appears.
