Configuration of caps lock no longer works

Hello

After that the upgrade to Mac OS Sierra is not possible to turn off the caps lock.

Lock shift will continue to work either by selecting 'No Action' for the caps lock setting in system preferences > keyboard > modifier keys.

Difficulty please!

See you soon,.

Hi, manchoz!

Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I understand from your post, that caps lock shift to 'No Action' in system preferences has in fact an effect; You can always activate the caps lock shift key after changing the setting. I know it may be practical to adjust how the key functions and would be happy to help you!

I have a few things I can recommend for you to try. Test by changing the caps to no Action lock after each step.

  1. Restart the Mac by clicking on the menu Apple  and selecting restart... in the drop-down menu.
  2. If possible, test how the caps lock functions on another keyboard (USB or Bluetooth).
  3. Start in safe mode and try to change the modifier of Caps Lock on. The following article will give you more information about safe mode and start it: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up

    Even if the title of the article is not specific to your question, safe mode is always a good step to take. She will run a scan of your system at startup and disable some software and processes that may be causing a conflict.

  4. Test the caps lock modifier in a different user account. This article will explain why test in another user account is a useful step and will also guide you in creating a new account: How to test a question in another account on your Mac user

For more information, see the following: macOS Sierra: change the modifier keys

See you soon!

  • Light of CAPS LOCK does not work

    Hello dear guys,

    Had a problem today - some keys on the keyboard do not work properly.

    I opened the hood of the laptop (Pavilion G6 2241sa) and saw that the keyboard cable was loose. I reconnected properly, closed the lid and turned on the laptop. Now, all the keys work well, BUT the CAps Lock light doesn't work well. Key works, but when I press on it - will light, but as soon as I release the button - the light turns off. Light is not. Also, when the real function of the caps lock is on, when I press another button, the light on the surface of the NumLock key but it is dim.

    I recheched cable keyboard again - everything is fine, but seeing locking caps does not stay when you press.

    I don't practice typing for the last 3 months for a few hours a day, so I guess that it also affects the life expectancy of my keyboard.

    Would appreciate any insights on this light lock thanks a lot, lives

    Thank you for your response. But the General solutions do not work here, I'm afraid.

    My inner voice tells me that it is the problem of specif inside wiring that cannot be fixed, perhaps only by the replacement of the entire keyboard or keyboard cable.

    I appreciated your help in any case. My keyboard works, light Verr Maj is not so important, that's why I will end this matter as resolved. Cheers, lives

  • indicator of Caps lock does not work

    My caps lock indicator windows stopped working a while ago and then I turned on toggle keys .but it has also stopped working. I am using windows 7 ultimate.the characteristic toggle key is on but it still does not work, I tried to put it and the but its still not working.i also tired ms fix the app but it did not find the problem. I would have preferred using ToggleKeys indicator, but both will do the job.

    Microsoft does not have any indicator, only the ToggleKeys.  Windows itself has never had such a feature.  You must use another program on your old computer, perhaps a program you downloaded from the Internet or a program that your computer manufacturer preinstalled for you.  Sony installs keyboard for example indicators and I think Dell has on some of their computers.  But he has never been a built-in feature.

    You can try a small program like this:

    Gives you a little Popup like this:

    Hi Nancy,.

    1. What is the number of the model of the computer?

    2. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?

    I suggest you to use an external keyboard and check if it makes a difference. Flip your keyboard and shake gently. This will remove any buildup of debris which may prevent the keys work properly. You can also use compressed air to remove dust from hard to reach under the keys areas.

    The driver for your keyboard may be missing or need to be updated. If your keyboard comes with a software disc, insert it into your computer to reinstall the driver. Otherwise, follow these steps to update your driver.

    (a) open the keyboard by clicking the Start button , by clicking on Control Panel, hardware and sound, and then click keyboard.

    (b) click on the hardware tab, find the keyboard that you use and double-click it.

    (c) click on the driver tab, click Update driver, and then follow the instructions.

    (d) If you are prompted to restart your computer, do so.

  • Caps lock indicator does not.

    I've recently been messing around in the msconfig and services.msc trying to streamline things. Also, I went to the back office database, but switched to an aero theme. Now the screen to jump to the top of the indicator for the caps lock no longer works. I have no idea what the status of the caps lock shift is without him, because there is none on the keyboard. How do I get this on?

    Am having this problem also.  I know the rocker, but prefer the screen caps lock indicator.  How can I activate the indicator of the screen?

    Hello

    I think that the message of contextual text for the Caps Lock key is an element that is installed by the computer manufacturer. See the computer documentation or ask the computer manufacturer about this.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you for using Windows 7

  • Satellite Pro A40 Caps Lock power with many keys on and off

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Satellite A40 and it has become a pain. First the caps lock keys not working, has no importance. Then I realized that if I pressed ctrl + C caps work come, now ctrl c z x c m and v all do caps on or off.

    You can not use!

    I use an external keyboard, which I think will work. Have you tried some form of downloads of this site but it is not changing.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    PS I have no games on it.

    Hello

    Well, it's not easy to say why this dysfunction occurs.
    You can try to use the System Restore tool. This can help to set the operating system to the beginning.

    Also if it helps doesn t, I would recommend to recover the operating system with the supplied restore CD. (Please make a backup of your files.) If the problem still the same after this procedure so I think it's a hardware malfunction and you contact the agents of control services.

    Good bye

  • Keys levers for Caps Lock and disable the notification no longer works with updates; How to re - activate

    This isn't a general volume, or volume mixer, etc.  It is specifically about the ease of use section, toggle its opinion to the subsection 'Caps lock' 'ON' or 'OFF' - did not notice at first so I don't know what update was specifically involved, or when it happened: tried to follow this exit and can not.

    Most often useful with word processing and the composition of the e-mail, tenders, etc.  which I am not, did not have a lot of recently - mainly on work outside when the humidity and temperatures and precipitation allowed this summer and early fall.

    As I read the instructions, under the same scenario, I should be able to 'turn' on the notification of the NumLock key caps lock for five seconds (it doesn't) or I could have the option always on (the second of the two options) that I chose.  Now when I click on the first and leave the second uncontrolled, or when I check them all, press 'apply' and press 'Close' nothing happens and when I will return to this screen or the other or both controls are are more verified.

    Hello

    I'm not sure what you mean by "Rocking sound Notification", but it seems that you are referring to the "ToggleKeys" setting. If so, you can check the accessibility of your computer settings and activate the ToggleKeys. To do this, follow the steps below:

    1. Click the Start button
    2. In the search box, search Control Panel
    3. Select ease of access
    4. Click change how your keyboard works
    5. Check the box (turn the ToggleKeys)
    6. Click apply , and then click OK

  • My Satellite M70 no longer works, and caps button flashes

    My problem was explained in the title. I just want to know if there is a problem or not. I work on Linux and windows XP, but the problem can happen in the BIOS.
    Thank you, Vivien.
    If you need more information, please ask me :)
    PS: it's the Satellite M70, and I changed the RAM

    Hello

    I'm afraid that you have to be a little more specific than one that's a little wave... but now that you mention that you have changed the RAM maybe this is related to the question of Mr. is your RAM speed appropriate for your laptop? (Example to 400 or 533 MHz, regardless of the speed is indicated for your product). Because if your RAM is at the wrong speed, or at a higher speed (for example, 667 MHz, which happened with me) the computer can crash/blue screen/go crazy.

    In fact, now I remember that my flash CAPS LOCK button too, because of the bad RAM or Aries do not correctly inserted. I recommend to check the speed of your RAM and make sure that you have inserted the right type, RAM speed and you have inserted it correctly

    I hope this helps.

  • Satellite C660 - keyboard does not work but the Num and caps lock shift are on

    I have a Satellite C660 which was working fine this morning. When I came home from work and he turned, the keyboard does not work and therefore can not enter my login information.
    The Num and caps lock shift are turned on.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Hello

    You are able to disable the CapsLock and NumLock?
    You can access the BIOS by pressing F2 by turning on the device?

    If this does not work, I would recommend checking an external USB keyboard.
    If the USB keyboard would be functions, then this means that the internal keyboard is defective and must be replaced.

  • Satelite P50-A-14F - Caps Lock key does not work

    Hi all

    My CAPS LOCK key does not work on my laptop series satellite P50-A-14F. Just realized while writing an email that does not work, so is more or less sudden. Nothing has been spilled on it. Here's what I've checked so far:

    -green light indicating that CAPS is LOCKED turn everything on by pressing the key on the keyboard of the screen
    -Keyboard backlight does not start when I press the button, but it works for the key itself when you press a button any.
    -try a clean boot but no results.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hello

    > Just realized while writing an email that does not work, so is more or less sudden.

    Have you tested the button LOCKING of upper CASE using different software: Web browser, by word or any other editor?
    How about using the external keyboard?

    From my point of view, there are two possible malfunctions: either there is a problem with the software that you use or the internal keyboard works badly simply and in this case, the replacement of keyboard will solve the problem.

    You could test the external USB keyboard. In case the button LOCKING of UPPER USB external keyboard functions, then the internal keyboard needs to be replaced for sure.

  • Keyboard stops working after you press caps lock.

    On a compaq laptop presario CQ60-300SO the keyboard stops working after you press the caps lock button. The keyboard does not work once the computer starts, but after going in under the keyboard properties control panel and press the 'OK' button, this will work. Buy keyboard works when the computer RECORDS, so I can't get to BIOS. The keyboard work until windows starts and I activate it via the properties of the keyboard by opening the window and press OK immediately. I tried updating the driver but I only find that the keyboard already has the most recent drivers. I tried to restore the drivers and that does not work either. I also disabled start all programs and services to see if it was a problem caused by a program or service and still no luck. It's a very strange problem. I noticed that the keyboard IRQ ranges are both 64-64 and 60-60, which i thought was weird but that's maybe normal. Any advice will be appreciated.
