Mar 26, 2020 To lock and unlock a keyboard on a Mac laptop, click on System Preferences inside the Apple menu, and then click on Security & Privacy. Inside the General tab, click on Require Password after Sleep or Screen Saver Begins. Select Immediately in the drop-down box for the tightest security. The keyboard and mouse are fine, but Bluetooth is off on the Mac, and I can't install any software or turn Bluetooth on without unlocking my account, which I need a keyboard to do. – Ethan Lee Dec 4 '11 at 17:28.

Intel Mac :: New Apple Aluminum Keyboard 2012 Functions Do Not Match Icons On Keyboard May 15, 2012
I just bought a new 2012 aluminum Wireless keyboard and the function keys do not work properly. I am currently running OS 1.5.8. I would expect most keys to match the icons on the keyboard. I do not want to upgrade to Snow Leopard or Lion. I have installed an aluminum keyboard upgrade 2.0 and this did not help. I just want the the keyboard functions to match the icons on the keyboard. Volume up.volume down.

MacBook :: Changing Wireless Keyboard Shortcuts Functions Sep 29, 2010I spilled alcohol on macbook keyboard, so I bought and just received a wireless keyboard which I paired with my computer, but the shortcuts at the top of my keyboard aren't doing what they should be doing. I went into system preferences and was able to change it so I can change the brightness, but from F7 to F12, where you are suppose to be able to change the song, play/pause, mute and turn the volume up and down, it does other things. I've tried adding an application to my keyboard shortcuts, added iTunes and then wrote 'Volume Up' and set it to F12, and 'Volume Down' and set it to F11, but it didn't work. Is there certain words I have to put for it to work?
MacBook Pro :: New Layout Keyboard - Assigning Functions For Fn Keys?
My macbook pro keyboard died, the only replacement I could find was the newer keyboard layout (where the Fn keys have different functions - such as volume has been moved etc). After a bit of filing etc to get it to fit, its all back together and looking/working fine, but I need to change the keyboard layout so the pictures on the keys do what they are supposed to (hope that makes sense?) i.e. on the old one volume up was F5, but on the new one volume up is F12.
OS X :: Keyboard Shortcuts For Different Functions At Startup Aug 8, 2009Is the following possible, and if so which keys do I need to press at start up?
1) Install SSD drive into mac
2) Put the original HDD in my external USB drive dock
3) Boot from the original HDD which is in the USB dock
4) Go to disk utilities and format the SSD
5) Clone the HDD to SSD (carboncopycloner)
6) Reboot and d/c the HDD, leaving SSD in mac
I don't know if its possible to boot from the HDD if its in a USB dock. If it fails, I will hold C to boot from install DVD.

i moved my iMac when it was on to avoid getting water on it - after that the text to speech is now enabled and I cannot seem to turn it off.
I have tried to change or reset it on the system preferences, speech ,text to speech but can't seem to change anything. There were no key functions assigned so I assigned Control z and tried turning on or off but to no effect.
https://hcex.over-blog.com/2020/12/mac-os-mojave-android-file-transfer.html. Also the key board functions are changed. For example the volume (f12) activates the dashboard. When I hold the fn key down the functions are correct. I tried to reset the functions to default in system preferences - keyboard but nothing changes.
Nothing got wet - I think I must of hit some combination of keys to mess this up.

I've been having intermittent web browsing problems with our mid-2009 MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.2. our network has an AirPort Extreme with an AirPort Express being the booster router, and the problem seems to have been pretty much only limited to web browsing, that is, other activities like emails, VOIP phones (we use a program called Bria), Skype and iTunes sample streaming seem to have been pretty reliable. I've tried deleting my safari cache.db file as another thread in this forum suggested, and it's a bit too early to tell yet whether that has made a lasting difference, but if it doesn't, does anyone have any ideas about what else might be causing the problem? If it helps, an iPhone 4 on the same home network seems to have significantly better performance when using its web browser.

MacBook Pro :: Activate Tap To Click Functions On Trackpad? May 22, 2010All time PC user and finally picked up my first Mac, a brand new 2010 2.4 MBP! Just wondering, being used to normal tap to click functions from PC machines im wondering. Do most of you MBP users use tap to click or actually use the click on the trackpad? I've noticed using the click is more accurate as far as responses, but isn't as efficient/fast as using tap to click. Can I get suggestions from you MBP users on what you guys use? I'm far in between the two so I want to know which one I probably should use so I basically 'learn' to use it over time. Also, noticed when I activate tap to click and use dragging, when I start to drag a window, and find the place I want to leave it. I'll raise my finger like 1mm in the air and it still registers my finger there and will still move it. It wont unlock my finger from the drag lock unless I lift it more than 3mm off the trackpad.
How Do I Unlock My Mac Keyboard Is Not Working MacBook Air :: Touchpad Lost All But Click Functions Dec 10, 2014I have 2011 i5 13'MacAir. Touchpad has lost functions: no select, no drag/drag copy. it can position the cursor with a hard click (not as responsive as before), select a word with double click, do a 3 finger window drag.It recognizes tapping functions only and the 3 finger drag. It does not seem to recognize when a finger stays on the pad- no finger zoom in or out, etc.
i need an external mouse to use the Air- i don't have enough touchpad functions to work otherwise.Is this software or do i need a new touchpad? is it an expensive repair?

Title is pretty self-explanatory. I have a year old 15' MBP (unibody, but not the absolute newest) and after the trackpad software update the click button on the bottom third of the trackpad no longer does anything. I tried to disable tapping and to my horror I could not tap or click or do anything until I plugged in a USB mouse and turned tapping back on - so the issue was worse than I thought.
I don't have any third party gesture software or anything crazy like that. Sorry if this has already been brought up - didn't see it in my first couple searches.

Software :: I Am Totally Locked Out Of My Macbook - How To Unlock It Jul 1, 2008I have startup discs for os x and everything. My admin account has a password that i don't know.
I have secondary account thats not a admin and i don't know the password to that one either. everytime i turn on the computer i automatically log into the secondary account.
i have tried everything out there including the command-s window to reset the passwords but nothing works. my os x disc will not boot on startup by pressing c. i cannot use it with the computer on because it asks for a password.
ive searched for hours and i cant find anything. macbook pro lion 10.7.3 tried to install some software but everytime i pressed install, nothing happened. i done so many things to solve that but no joy at all. so i thought maybe i need to make a new admin account. i tried to open the lock on my admin account and nothing happened. i know the passowrds and user name to be correct. so i decided to create a new admin account and the same has happened. i just dont understand why apple dont seem to have this solved yet. doing a system install is not really an option for me as i know this must be a lion problem
