IMac :: USB Keyboard Not Typing Letters

Apr 6, 2009

I've already tried basic methods of resolving this issue i.e. resetting and unplugging and replugging the keyboard and my keyboard still won't type letters or numbers. The only kind of response I get by typing the keys is the keyboard will performing shortcut commands like save and open, etc. without holding control or alt, it does it when I press the letter keys by themselves.

OS X :: Cannot Type Numbers And Letters

May 1, 2008

My macbook is relatively new and, for some reason, the numbers and letters won't type. It seems like I've looked up every shortcut and I haven't found one that works. The track pad and mouse work perfectly, and when I startup my keys will type in my password, but after logging in they stop typing. The F keys and the command and control and option keys also work along with delete and the arrows but enter and neither shifts work.

MacBook :: How To Change Y Axis Numbers To Letters

Jun 16, 2012

I have found a previous conversation, see community converation titled:  Label Y-Axis as letters, not numbers?

it describes how to do what I want. I understand this described process but I cannot figure out where to place the "lookup" formula for it to work.  Do I select the whole table, one column, etc.  I have tried to recreate the screen shot sample but get stumped at the formula placement.  I need to graph reading levels from a-z with the y-axis being letters not numbers and this old conversation  has created this.  I have been searching the web for 4 hours and got no where until I found this discussion and now I am so close...

OS X :: IMac Keyboard Annoying Double Letters?

May 6, 2007

Maybe I'm just not used to it, but one annoying quirk I have found with mac keyboards (I recently bought a 20 inch iMac) is the keyboard is always giving me double letters when I type that I always have to go back and edit out.

I already went to system preferences and changed sensitvity and repeat settings to the slowest.

It's ridiculous in how inaccurate it is; has anyone else experienced this problem and/or have any suggestions? Just in writing this paragraph I've had to fix at least 10 times.

No other keyboard has given me such fits before.

MacBook Pro :: It Resumes From Sleep But Keyboard Types Symbols As Opposed To Correct Letters?

Feb 5, 2012

Having been a mac owner for a few years now, I guess it actually shows the quality of the product that this is the first time I've had to post on this site.I've recently upgraded from my 2008 model MacBook to an early 2011 model MacBook Pro 17" with Lion. This machine was brand new when I purchased it, and is a very lovely bit of kit.

The problem comes from the sleep functionality. Approximately one time of three, when I resume from sleep, the keyboard will be malfunctioning. What I mean by this is that when I type letters, they come out as symbols instead. I haven't been sharp enough to get a direct mapping of A-Z yet (I will do next time), but these aren't the 'ALT' key symbols, they're more like this (which is what I typed into Notepad last time this happened)In order to resolve this, I need to restart the computer, which, thus far, has resolved the issue every time. That said, it's a bit of a pain, so would like to know what's going on and if there is any way to prevent it.

All the software on the mac is up to date at time of writing, there have been no expansions to the machine (yet), so it's exactly as shipped. It's the 2.2GHz i7 Quad Core device, and is the first one supporting the thunderbolt graphics connector. Could it be a hardware problem (if so, I want to return it asap to get it sorted).

Intel Mac :: It Keeps Typing Letter 'V' Even When Keyboard Is Unplugged

Jun 16, 2012

I started having an issue with my iMac typing in the letter 'V' in any field, whether in a browser or in a window even after I've unplugged the keyboard. I've tried restarting several times, but it's getting worse to the point that I can't even type my password in b/c strings of the letter 'V' keep erroring out each field. The letter 'V' isn't stuck in the keyboard, my keyboard doesn't need to be cleaned, I've run a disk repair and no errors are coming up. I had to type this from a different computer otherwise the entire message would have had "v's" typed throughout!

MacBook Pro :: Keyboard Intermittently Stops Typing?

Jun 4, 2014

I have a MacbookPro - it's just over a year old. I mostly use it for graphics, but lately I've been having trouble with the keyboard - it intermittently stops typing. This problem occurs across all programs in which I use the keyboard. If I leave it alone for a few minutes it will start typing again, but obviously this is very inconvenient.

MacBook Pro :: Typing On Keyboard Make Cursor Jump Around?

Jul 19, 2007

I just got this new 17" powerbook two months ago. Everything seemed fine until this past weekend when I tried to do some work on it. No matter the program, Word, Quark etc., whenever i go to type in sentences or paragraphs, suddenly the cursor will jump to another area of the paragraph. There seems to be no consistency and I can't figure the cause.

I checked all the preferences and that doesn't seem to change it.

Could I have a faulty keyboard? Has anyone else heard of this and know what to do.

1) Is there a virtual onscreen keyboard like on windows that she can use on snow leopard?

2) Is there a built in voice program that can recognize her speech vs mousing to type everything.

3) If not can you recommend some software to accomplish this.

MacBook Pro :: Backlit Keyboard Doesn't Come Back On When Typing

Nov 30, 2014

I have a Macbook Pro 13in. It is not a retina. I just bought it from apple.  Anyway it works fine I just noticed one thing about the keyboard and I'm sort of new to macs.

OK so the backlight on the keyboard times out after 5 sec (that's what I have it set to) the thing is the light will come back on after it times out when you move the mouse or touch the trackpad, but not if you start typing.  I noticed that shift, fn, control, alt/options, and Fkeys will bring it back.  The peculiar thing though is that while I'm typing, that will keep the light on.  Soon as i stop for 5 sec won't just turn on if I start typing again, gotta hit one of those keys or touch the pad. 

I could just set the timer longer, but idk seems like a minor flaw.  Unfortunately I can kind of see that, however there does seem to be hotkeys.  Just as long as one could customize them, maybe add the entire keyboard.
