The escape key in my wireless keyboard stopped working

Dear list members, suddenly, the ESC key in my wireless keyboard stopped working. As it looks normal and all other keys are working properly, might it be a configuration problem? Could you please help me? I'm working on an iMac 27 late 2012 running OSX 10.10.2. Thank you.

Please reset the SMC, this may take 2-3 attempts and post back with the results.

After updates, wireless keyboard stopped working.

HI...
All was going along swimmingly, setting up my new iMac... I did some updates and then for some strange reason my wireless keyboard stopped working? I know it’s not the keyboard because delete works, my widgets work and some other keys work - and - the whole keyboard was working from start up (at first)...
But I just can’t use the Alfa keys all of a sudden - very unusual, no?
What happened?
Any opinions, suggestions and comments are greatly welcomed
Thank you in advance....

For those who it may concern...
I called up support and I had to delete two files from the Systems Library called “com.apple...systempreferences.plist” and “com.apple.universalaccess.plist”.....
I hope you never need this information but - it worked for me....

Wireless keyboard stopped working on my iMac

My wireless keyboard stopped working on my iMac. It shows that it is connected, but it won't respond. It's not the batteries, and I tested keyboard on my iPad and it works fine on the iPad, so it is not the keyboard itself.
I also tried to connect a different wireless keyboard to my iMac, but the same thing happens... it shows that it is connected, but it doesn't respond.
When I go preferences > bluetooth, the device shows as connected. I have tried to remove it by highlighting it and clicking the - (minus) , but the - (minus) is not clickable. It is gray.
Also grayed is the box that says 'discoverable'. the box is checked however.
I am at a loss!! Any ideas

Helix keyboard stops working when dock battery reaches 3%

My other post has more details but the title says it all. My Helix keyboard stops working when dock battery reaches 3% even though the tablet battery has a charge. This seems to happen every time. A hard reset of the dock gets the keyboard working again. Any ideas on how to fix this?

This is my daughter's college computer so I have not used it. I just get the panic call when it locks up.
Is there any way to get a warning when the battery is low? I assume that it has a light on the base but I can see how she could miss it when focused on what she is doing. I am not sure it comes on since the tablet battery still has capacity. I find it odd that this happens when the tablet battery still has a decent amount of charge. Effectively it eliminates a fair amount of the battery capacity available for the computer.
I have other electronics that force you to shut done at low battery levels. I am surprise that a high end laptop performs this way.

System Preferences->BlueTooth and turn it off. Restart and see if that fixes the problem.

Mighty Mouse and wireless keyboard stop working

Just got my iMac yesterday and everything worked out of the box. But once yesterday and once so far today, the wireless mighty mouse and keyboard stopped working.
Today I noticed after the mouse stopped moving the cursor, the little green light on the bottom of the mouse was blinking. I turned off the mouse and turned it back on, but the green light still blinked and the mouse still didn't work.
The only thing that did something was the power button on the iMac. I had to turn off the iMac and turn it back on. Then the keyboard and mouse worked again.
What's going on? Do I need to get the iMac repaired?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Try deleting this file. com.apple.bluetooth.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
If that doesn't help, make sure the batteries are charged. Go to System Preferences/Keyboard&Mouse. Click the Bluetooth tab. Your battery levels are displayed there. When it gets down to one green bar on the left, install new batteries.
If none of the above helps, turn the mouse and keyboard off. Delete the mouse and keyboard from the System Preferences/Bluetooth devices window. Select the mouse in the window on the left, then click the minus - button. Now open the slider on the mouse so the green light blinks. Click + which will launch the Bluetooth Setup Assistant. Just follow the instructions. Same for the keyboard. If you still have issues with the wireless hardware, I'd take it back. You have 14 days in case you need to replace the iMac.

Bluetooth keyboard stops working when i plug in my iphone 5

Hi All...
Heres a question from the twilight zone where strange things happen.
My Hardware/Software used:
- iMac OSX 10.9.2
- Mac wireless Keyboard
- Logitech mouse performance MX
- iTunes 11.1.5 (5)
- iPhone 5 v7.1 (11D167)
I plug in my iPhone via USB cable, and iTunes pops up.. it detects the iphone but not 100% as it just hangs... then out of nowhere, the keyboard stops working as it looses its connection, the only way to restore the connection is to reset the iMac.
Any ideas?

Apple wireless mouse and keyboard stop working ... now says OS X version and bluetooth incompatible

For no apparent reason my apple wireless mouse and keyboard stopped working. I was not upgrading or installing anything, the batteries are good, nothing was changed as far as I know. Now bluetooth discovers the paired devices, connects for about 30 seconds, the disconnects ... or stays connected but doesn't work.
What's happenned ... I'm rushing to finish a big job ... any ideas? I've tried re-pairing but doesn't work ... says that OSX version may be incompatible with device bluetooth ... I'm using Lion so maybe there is another lion problem?

Hello:
Barry: What do you mean with "making devices favorites"?
This is the method:
Go to system preferences>bluetooth. Highlight an item in the sidebar. If detailed information does not appear, click on the little gear and select show more info. Then click on the gear again and select favorite.
And how could an hardware-related problem be (temporarily) solved rebooting the OS?
Intermittent problems are, IMHO, most often caused by hardware. Restarting will occasionally "fix" problems - why, I do not know.

Why does my keyboard stop working when I get a new Facebook message?

Whenever I get a new message on Facebook chat, my keyboard stops working on all Firefox tabs. If I switch tabs or close and open the chat it starts working again. It's definitely not a problem with the keyboard, I've had no problems typing in Notepad while messages come in on the chat.

iTunes is not fully functional when operating in Safe Mode, so its possible that the component that supports Audible content is not running. If iTunes will only run in Safe Mode then there's an issue with your installation - see Turingtest2's tutorial Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates, in particular the section on removing all components of iTunes before installing the latest version.
I have Audible .aa files on a 2nd gen iPod Nano so there shouldn't be an issue with age ...

Reader stops working when newest GTK2.0 installed - bug report and proposed fix

Adobe Reader 7.0.9 (Linux i386) stopped working when I installed a batch of updates on Xubuntu Feisty Fawn (7.04). The updates included GTK 2.0, version 2.10.11. The symptom was that upon startup, Reader ended up in a seemingly infinite loop, printing out "expr: syntax error" (when started from terminal emulator). A few debug "echo"'s revealed that the loop concerned function get_gtk_file_ver().
The bug itself is on line 418. The original line is as follows:
echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-$[0-9]*$.0.so.0.$[0-9]$00.$[0-9]*$\|$.*$/\1\2\3/g'
- note that there is no '*' in the middle number-matching regexp, so the full expression matches only strings in which the "middle" group is 100, 200, ..., 900.
At this point in the execution, $mfile contains the name of the gtk library .so, in this case, libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.11. In prior versions (e.g. 2.8.20, which is the current version in Ubuntu Dapper Drake LTS), the minor version had only one digit, and the regexp matched. When the minor version got incremented to two digits, the regexp no longer match because of the missing '*'! As an additional bonus, somehow this leads to the infinite loop (which is *not* good).
A working fix is to add the missing '*' into the regexp. I'd say that a lot of Linux users will be tripping on this issue soon, at least those who keep current on security updates.
I found no sensible way to contact the developers, i.e. a way that wouldn't have to pass a gazillion of customer-service and tech support people, who are most likely just as unaware of the issue as the users...
I hope this issue will be fixed ASAP - after all, it's only one added character, and that'll save a lot of users a lot of hassle.
(and btw, to have the intended effect, the dots in the sed expression should all be escaped with a backslash - now e.g. "libgtk-x11-2.0.sog0.1000.11" matches the sed regexp as well as "libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.11", but this probably isn't too critical...)

The solutions provided here work, but by accident. The script compares 2104 (2.10.4) to 240 (2.4.0) and sees that it's greater. Adobe will have problems in future releases if the minimum GTK release is, say, 2.10.4 and the user has 2.4.0.
I've crafted a more elegant solution, shown here in "patch" format. I think the reformatting and tab elimination done by HTML will preclude you from pasting this into a file and running "patch", but it's pretty easy to read and is short...

Adobe stop working when scan to adobe file

When I choose in adobe acrobat extended under the menu: Document then "scan to PDF", I always get the following error message "adobe acrobat 9.1 has stopped working, a problem caused the program to stop working correctly, windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" and the only option would be a button that says "close the program". Clicking on this button will close adobe and that is it. There is no solution or anything provided afterwards.
Is there a fix for this problem?
Thank you.

the scanner is working perfectly with ather applications, only when using adobe this happens, so I don't see this to resolve my issue.

External Mouse and Keyboard Stop Working When X220 is Docked and Screen is Closed

I have an X220 with a docking station, external monitor and external keyboard/mouse. When I start the laptop from a cold boot and it's docked, my external mouse and keyboard work fine with the screen open or closed.
If I undock and redock with the screen closed, the external keyboard doesn't work and the mouse cursor moves, but the mouse buttons don't do anything. If I open the screen, then the keyboard and mouse work fine.
I've swapped the keyboard and mouse and still have the same problem, so it's not the kb/mouse. This is a brand new X220 and the issue has been occurring since it was purchased.
Any thoughts?

hey mhambalek,
hard to say what's going on, though i would recommend heading to http://support.lenovo.com , do a full update of your unit.
also, if the external keyboard & mouse & monitotor is connected to your unit without the docking station, does the same thing happen?

Momentarily stops working when shift key is used to type in capital Letters

I've been using Firefox for an year, when ever I try to use shift key to google something or type something in capital letters firefox momentarily stops and resumes after 45-60 seconds..!
I'm using the latest version of firefox 23.0.1 but, the problem still persists.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
