Extended keyboard keys stopped working.

Does anyone have any suggestions. My keyboard was working fine and I changed some system preferences and now my keys on the side of my keyboard have no entry at all. I use this feature all the time and they are most needed. Any suggestions

iMac 27-inch, mid 2010

OS = El Capitan 10.11.1

I found my own answer to my question. It is in system preferences: - accessibility - mouse & pad. I had to uncheck turn on MouseKeys.

    When I boot it upward a few minutes most of the keys stopped working.
    The F keys will however continue to work.
    I can laugh with the brightness and activate / disable the num lock and scroll but I can't type.

    A number of key just freeze.
    When I reboot the keys work for a few minutes and then stop working again.

    Please help me with suggestions and solutions.
    Thanx

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a hardware problem. Maybe it s the keyboard or keyboard controller itself.
    But first, you must be sure that this failure was not due to a software problem.
    Therefore, it would be desirable to update the system and install the OS from the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    If the keyboard problem appears again, I'd recommend contacting the ASP in your country to control the laptop.

    It seems that the guarantee could be valid for all replacements must be done for free.

  • Some keys stop working after the update of the Sierra (only for a specific profile)

    After update to Sierra my keyboard worked well for a while.  But at random, U I O P J K L keys stopped working.

    The bug only shows 1 profile. If I create another profile new profile keyboard works very well.

    Anyone know what that sometimes caused that and with the fix is?

    Hello ExcelsiorPath,

    After reviewing your post, it seems that several keys do not work on a single profile. This looks like an option that may have been changed.  I recommend you to read this article, it may be able to help solve the problem.

    If the other keys do not work

    You may have accidentally set an option that changes your keyboard works.

    • Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click keyboard. Make sure that slow keys is turned off. If slow keys is enabled, you will need to keep a key longer than usually before it is recognized.

    • Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click mouse and Trackpad. Make sure that the mouse keys is turned off. If the mouse keys is enabled, pressing the keys in the numeric keypad moves the pointer instead of entering the numbers.

    • Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click keyboard, and then click input methods. Select "Show the menu in the menu bar." Open the menu entry, then make sure that the correct keyboard layout is selected.

      To display the keyboard layout, click keyboard, and then choose "See the viewers for emoji keyboard symbols in the menu bar."

  • Numbers of wired keyboard has stopped working

    I have a keyboard attached to a wired Macbook Pro Apple. The keyboard worked fine for a year apart from the occasional glitch when it stops working, I add an extension of cable and it starts working again.  However, all of a sudden the numbers on the keyboard at the top of the keyboard have stopped working (but - and = work). the keyboard on the right continue stop work very well.  I think the function keys work always.  Someone at - it ideas?  It's driving me crazy! Tried to restart and don't Scream - no luck so far.

    Hello Lloyd C from the United Kingdom.

    If I understand you right, the numbers on the wired Apple keyboard that you have connected to your MacBook Pro stopped working. We know that it's never ideal to have a device that does not work as expected, we are happy to help you get the keyboard to work again.

    The first thing I would recommend, first and foremost, is to update your Mac if there are updates available for the version of Mac OS X, you're running. Follow the steps in the article to support below if you are not familiar with how to update. For the purposes of troubleshooting, whenever you test your keyboard after you follow the steps that we provide, make sure that it is while the keyboard is connected directly to the USB port built-in on your MacBook and not connected to a USB hub. In addition, disconnect all other devices you have plugged into your Mac, besides than the charging cable under test.

    Update the software on your Mac

    If the problem persists after the update, the next step would be to reset the system management controller (SMC). The MSC is a part inside your MacBook, who helps run various physical parts of your computer, and resetting can sometimes help the problems associated with the keyboard and USB functions. The support article below contains the steps on how to reset the SMC.

    Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

    Test the keyboard after that the MSC has been reset. If the problem persists, follow the steps in the "Steps to a USB keyboard" section in the following article:

    If your USB keyboard or wireless does not work

    Remember that it's always a possibility that the issue could be with the keyboard itself. If you continue to have problems with certain keys, try to connect the keyboard to a different Mac, if you manage to and see if you experience the same problems.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    Take care!

  • Unique key stopped working

    Hello

    the # s on the right side of the keyboard have stopped working, and when you press a button it brings up a find he bar Internet search explore or some beeps. I tried NumLock, scroll stop and keyboard options in Control Panel. I don't know wat else to do.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    Hi annanel,

    > when you press one of the buttons it evokes a find it bar search on internet explore
    Maybe you have a virus on the computer? You must run your antivirus and look for viruses.

    Also if one key has stopped working, you only have one option for repair and it is exchanging the entire keyboard because the individual keys can t be exchanged.
    You can get a new keyboard to an authorized service and they can also swap the keyboard for you. :)

  • The story ignores a newspaper (keyboard shortcuts stop working)

    So I use Photoshop, I find that I can't press Cmd + Z (or Cmd + alt + Z) to cancel an error. I am also unable to use shortcut keys, so pressing B for brush, U online, E for the Eraser tool, etc. no shortcuts work.

    That is until I shoot again. Once I clicked or developed anywhere within Photoshop (whether on or off the power of the Web), the keyboard shortcuts begin to work again. If overtime, whenever I want to cancel an error or use another tool with keyboard shortcuts, I have to click elsewhere to keyboard shortcuts work again...

    It gets frustrating after a while.

    I noticed in the historic area (the one where all the tools of measures are going in) where for example when I draw a line, the historic area does not pick up this newspaper. Yet once any attempt to use the keyboard shortcuts does not work. And once again, it is until I click elsewhere that the keyboard works. In addition, on the second click, the history box has now two actions in the list.

    Thanks to those who have read my problem. I would like assistance as soon as possible. I'm ready to give any additional information that would help solve this problem

    I found my problem, other problems that occurred when I have used photoshop are:

    • Keyboard shortcuts stop working
    • Lasso tool selections close prematurely and unexpectedly
    • Photoshop becomes unresponsive (it rarely happened to me)

    The link (at the bottom of this comment) helped to fix this problem. It asks you to download a .zip file with a plugin file to be placed in the Plug-ins folder, respectively, and as it solved the problem.

    Thank you Rohit to tide me over, you've been a star.
