Power Mac :: Delete Key Is Not Working?
Mar 24, 2012
I have a power Mac g4 which is about 11 years old which is having issues.Replacing the battery was a big solution, but since I did this yesterday, I am getting Kernel screens and monitor blackouts, jumpy cursors and the delete key not working.I have just reinstalled the OS and updated the software, but the delete key still isn't working. The mouse seems normal now, and so far the monitor will come back when it is asleep, instead of going black and staying that way.But the delete key still isn't deleting.

The other day the electricity to the house was turned off with Itunes running on my computer. Im running a G5 Mac OSX version 10.4.11 if that helps. When i turned the computer back on it read itunes library corrupt and the only option it gave was to press 'OK'.
Out of 8000 or so songs, 3000 remain in the library. There are some songs on the hard drive under 'Music' which is some of the missing songs but not sure if its all of them
My question is, is there any way possible way to restore my itunes library back to its state prior to the power out? restoring all playlists and everything!

i've recently ask in the forum for expanding my G5 and G4, because the DVD-RW stop working on both. I've bought a Pioneer DVR-112 and install it on the G4 (under panther). Startup the mac and it was there on the system profiler, but when i'd tryed to open the tray, it couldn't go out because it was getting jammed bye the mac tower (some plastic thinggis around the drive hole), so i've notice that the previous DVD-RW didn't had the front part on the drive that says DVD-RW and all the stuff. So, shutdown the mac and removed the drive to see what it can be done. Installed again and now the mac don't recognize the drive.

I have an iMac 2.4Ghz 24" about 18 months old. After a visitor's mains powered hard drive (which was later shown to be already faulty!) was connected I lost the power to the USB bus inside the iMac. I can still use devices that need power with an USB port expander but this is far from ideal. USB data is working fine as is the firewire port. Simply the power to the USB. I have reset the PRAM but not yet reset the Power Management Unit. I assume there is no physical fuse for the USB power internally as I have not seen a reference to one anywhere. Should I reset the PMU?
Are the USB and their power integral to the motherboard? On start up I get the error message: "USB Over Current Notice. A USB device is currently drawing too much power. The hub it is attached to will be deactivated." I get this error message even when nothing not even keyboard is plugged in (so its not that faulty keyboard error). There really is no power at the USB ports - but data is working

I got the newest 15" MBP and I'm trying to get power nap to work, but as far as I can tell, it does not work yet.Â
I enabled power nap both when the laptop is connected to power and on battery, but every morning when I look in iTunes, my podcasts have not been updated since last time i closed the lid.Â
I also tried to start downloading a podcast and close the lid, and when I open it again, the podcast has not progressed in the downloading.Â

I can't find anything else on here about this, but I've tried several external keyboards with my new MacBook Pro (including the latest Apple) and Command+Delete doesn't work with any of them. It works fine using the notebook keyboard. I've reset the key combos to default several times. Nothing. Other key combinations that I use all work. And the command key and delete key each work for other things.

I have a late 2010 MacBook Air that is running OS X 10.9.3 .
Lately I have noticed that my delete key is now working as a backspace key.
This is super annoying and I have tried googling the problem, but I haven't found a solution yet.
Also, my top row of keys (volume, brightness, etc,) are not working unless I hold down the fn key.

Is ther another piece of software I need other than Macam for Skypes connection or.I did get a message on screen that Skypes had connected to my camera.

As usual, whilst claiming green credentials, the information Apple gives regarding power use is minimal and vague to the point of being meaningless .The only figures they quote are:- Maximum continuous use 205w (21.5") and 310w (27") What exactly does maximum continuous use mean ?Â
a. When the machine is switched on but not doing anythingÂ
b. Working at general office tasksÂ
c. Working flat out transcoding video etc.Â
Which of these is it? Or is it all 3? Does it use more power when performing harder tasks? If so, what power is used under scenarios a and b? Finally, how much power is used in sleep mode?

I followed all the instructions in the previous threads and unstalled my older version on flash. Then installed PPC Mac Flash version 10.1.102.64 and it says installation complete but when I go to test it nothing works. I tried restarting and uninstalling and starting over. I keep getting installation complete but still no go. I checked all my soft updates and everything looks good.

I have a new power cord for my MacBook Pro. I plug it into the laptop, it turns green for about one second, then goes to orange. It doesn't show in the battery icon that the battery is charging, but if I turn the laptop over and look at the battery, the green indicators on the battery are blinjking like it is charging. I keep getting the "now running on reserve power" error. Now, just two minutes later, all of a sudden the screen gets brighter and the battery life indicator on the screen shows that the battery is at 74%! How could I be running on reserve power at 4% one minute and be at 74% the next?

I spilled some water on my laptop this morning but it wasn't a lot and seemingly nothing happened. Then several hours later all of the sudden my delete key and arrow keys are not working. I can only assume this has something to do with the spill. My MacBook Pro is over 2 years old and I'm pretty sure the warranty is long expired. I definitely can't afford a new one or expensive repairs. Is there anyway to change the function of my keys? In other words can I change say one of my shifts or command keys into a new delete key ?

If so, how do I avoid frying my macbook air and other electrics, like my iPhone, camera battery, and shaver. ?had that built in or something, so as to just buy a weird 3-prong adapter...I saw the set of adapters available on Apple's site, but those would then only work for my laptop charger. I'm sure I could find the UK 3-prong to US-adapter... but what about voltage? I've never traveled overseas and had to convert power before

I have a four-year-old 17� inch Powerbook that is in need of some restoration. The optical drive does not work, the battery lasts all of 3 minutes when its not plugged in and the firewire ports don�t work. So since the optical drive and firewire ports are unusable I cannot install Leopard, which I would like to do. Also disk utility says the hard drive needs permissions repaired but I would need to insert the install disk to fix them and since I don�t have disk warrior or drive genius already installed it seems like a problem is going to happen soon.

I've been experiencing the following problem with my late 2007 MacBook Pro: I can't use it on batteries. As soon as I disconnect power supply, it works for 10-15 minutes and switches off. Not sleeps, but suddenly turns off completely. The system battery indicator drops by about 10% (showing 85-90% battery charged), whereas 4 out of 5 LEDs are lit on the battery itself. After such a sunned switch-off, I'm not able to start again the laptop - it doesn't react on Power On button - like the battery wasn't inserted at all. Right after I plug on power supply back again, everything gets back to normal and I can use it normally, but still only if it's connected to the electricity.

Ok. so my MBP was working 2 days ago and I went to Fry's to replace the HD with a 640GB model thinking larger storage - win. Replaced in and the orange ribbon cable got disconnected between the keyboard and the logic board. Went frantic and after a visit to the Apple Genius, they plugged it back and thought i was fine. Nope, and now the unit won't turn on. Plugged it in and got the green light and battery charges, but the MBP won't power on. I made sure the HD was plugged in securely, the orange ribbon connected fine, and the power button cable was secure. The drive worked fine as I did a superduper transfer of the old data to the new drive the night before the crisis and it worked fine.

After 1.5 years of use, my hard drive suddenly failed. This was later confirmed by Apple Genius Bar. So I purchase a new SSD from OWC which was instructed to be compatible with my laptop model (MBP 13" early 2011). It arrived today and I did the installation carefully and successfully. However, after putting the back panel back in place I was unable to power up my laptop.
It was as if the power button is not working. Then I opened up the back panel one more time to realise that every time I click the power button (turn on), the fan started running, this can only be stopped by pressing the power button and held it (turn off). I tried placing my old hard drive and it doesn't work as well. I tried reset the SMC by holding power-shift-option but same result.

I can't backspace anymore. And just now, as I type this, I noticed if I press delete I -forward- delete, and I can still highlight text and delete it that way. How do I change the delete key to backspace? Also, my arrow keys used to move the cursor within text. now it just scrolls the page up and down.
