OS X :: Snow Leopard - Shift Key Only Capitalizes First Letter

Oct 28, 2009

I'm having the same problem in ALL my typing: when I hold down the shift key for multiple letters, only the first is capitalized; the rest come out lower case. This is not a replacement behavior: I don't see the Uppercase letter get replaced by the lowercase one; only the first is uppercase. Is there some new text replacement routine? Can this be customized? I can't stand having to release the shift key between letters or to have to shift-lock, shift unlock.

MacBook :: Left Shift Button Types Only An Uppercase?

Nov 28, 2010

My keyboard has suddenly started doing weird things, such as the left shift button types an uppercase 'r', the 'r' key will only type as uppercase, and the right shift key takes me to the overlay screen with post-it notes and the calculator. Any ideas besides taking it to the mac store? And any idea on how much they typically charge to fix things like this?

Mac Pro :: Left Shift - W Doesn't Work?

Jan 23, 2009

I can't type a capital w (i.e. "W") by holding down my left shift and the "w" key.

If I hold down the right shift key, it works fine. Lower case w works fine. Any other capital letter using the left shift also works.

So it's only the left shift and "w" combination that seems not to work.

Bizarro world, but VERY frustrating.

I borrowed another apple keyboard and the same thing happens - so it would appear to be a software problem.

Mac Pro :: Left Shift Types "W"?

May 29, 2012

My left shift key types in "W", i started having this problem out of nowhere. at first some keys such as h would not work, and others such as y would type in y and u together. I restarted my computer and it seemed to have fixed it, also changed the usb port (its not a wireless keyboard). so now some keys dont work with either shift being held and other problems. is it my keyboard? or some settings? i've already reset the keyboard settings to default?

Applications :: Web Page With A Link That Produces A Tooltip When Hover Over It?

Oct 31, 2010

Whoever reads this, do me a favor, please. Find a web page with a link that produces a tooltip when you hover over it. Click that link. Wait for the resulting page to load, then hit the "back" button. Move your pointer off of the link you originally clicked, and just wait a moment. Does a tooltip for that link you clicked appear, just as though you were still hovering over it? It does for me. It has in every single version of Safari I've ever used, from version whateverthehellhaveyou in Jaguar, to Safari 3 in Tiger, Safari 4 in Leopard and Snow Leopard, to Safari 5 in Snow Leopard on not one, not two, but 4 different Macintoshes: a G3 iBook, a white non-unibody Macbook, another white non-unibody Macbook, and an aluminum unibody MacBook.

Just wondering if this happens to everyone, or if this is something special between Safari and me.

Hardware :: Mini Display Port To DVI Cable Produces Blurry Images On Dell 2407 Monitor

Dec 24, 2010

I have a new Macbook Air 13", 4GB RAM, 2.13Ghz, 256GB SSD.

I'm connecting the Macbook with the Apple Mini Displayport to DVI connector to a DVI cable to a Dell 2407 monitor with a resolution of 1920x1200. The resulting image is blurry. The fonts are blurry and drop shadows on the screen flicker quite badly. The resolution on my Macbook is indeed set to 1920x1200 to match my Dell 2407.

Does anyone know what the problem could be? Is the problem with the Mini Displayport to DVI adapter?

I know for a fact that the Dell LCD and the DVI cable work fine with my Windows 7 box. I have tried two different DVI cables as well.

MacBook Pro :: Keyboard Can't Write Letter B

Dec 9, 2014

My computer began to get some strange errors - It is my MacBook Pro Retina 15" Mid-2012.My keyboard can't write the letters "B" and the danish letter "Å", it the same for both small and capital letter (B/b and Å/å). 

But even though my keyboard won't write the two letters, it will still register the key is beefing push.when I sits and write this, it will change the text to bold - like turning the bold format on/off each time I push the B key. The same happens when I just push the left command key, so I can turn the bold text format on/off with my left command key. The right command key can't turn the bold format on/off, either only or with the "right cmd+b" - which for this forum should be the original short cut. 

Both of my command keys denies to accept some shortcut like "cmd+t" in Safari to make a new tab. But the "cmd+n" works fine. I have no problem with writing the letter "t" or the "n" in the url address line. What I have tried so far without any result:- Resetting of the system management controller (SMC)

- Updated to Yosemite so I now have OS X 10.10.1

- Of course tried to restart.

- Seen my language hasn't been changed from Danish. 

Info:
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

MacBook :: Crooked Keys - LED Visible Below Letter E

May 30, 2009

I've seen threads for crooked keys before, but thats not necessarily my problem. It is related, right below the letter "E" you can very easily see the LED that lights the letter up. Its really annoying and is the only letter that has this problem. Is there someone to pull off the key and re-adjust it? Or should I just take it to the Apple store and explain it to them?

MacBook Pro :: Every Letter With Red Or Blue Tint On External Monitor

I noticed that almost every letter has a red or blue tint on my external monitor, like behind it, as a shadow. I am connected to dvi. If I use the dvi to vga converter. It gets reduced. I even tried on a new dell monitor and it does the same thing! Is this normal? Could it be my videocard that is beginning to be defective?

MacBook Shift Key Stuck?

Mar 20, 2012

for Christmas I got my moms old macbook. It was some things that were wrong with it but she took it to get fixed at apple for like 500$ so Im sure she doesn't have warranty. The other day I was typing a report and it kept typing in capitals when I didn't have the caps lock on...I figured out that it was something with the shift key. I took it off, and that still didnt work. I haven't spilled anything on it at all. I take very good care of it also. Now I can't en log in because my password has numbers which only turn into symbols.

MacBook :: Shift While Caps Lock On

Nov 6, 2008

if caps lock is off, shift of course makes the letter you hit capital. However, if caps lock is on, and you hit shift, the letter is capital, not lowercase. In Windows it would be lowercase. Is my MacBook acting how is should?

MacBook :: Swap Backspace - Shift Keys?

Jul 23, 2009

Suddenly my backspace button has stopped working. Restarting or running Windows XP doesn't help a thing. Is it possible to use the right shift button as a backspace-button, you know changing what the keys do. It's quite irritating not being able to delete stuff. What I'd like: To use my right shift key instead of the backspace.

MacBook Pro :: External Keyboard Shift Not Working?

Sep 1, 2014

I'm using a MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2012 (no Retina) with an external keyboard (Apple A1243 USB). I was using Mountain Lion.

One month ago I was suffering a problem that both shift keys of my external keyboard were not working properly. Only if I press both shift keys simultaneously they worked. But, also other keys were activated (e.g. "e" and "r" or "5" and "6" on the number block). The keyboard works fine on differnet computers.

Only a full system recovery solved the problems, meaning this is a software problem. 

Today, I'm facing the same problem again and don't want to do the recovery again.

I tryed this steps: One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

I also updated to maverick, without succes. 

Info:
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
