keyboard - numbers not working?

Featured Replies

I have a five year old Mac desktop computer with the original keyboard... all keys are working fine but the numerical keys. It is as if they are locked. 

 

I have pressed fn and f-six... 

 

Any ideas? 

f you tried Clear and Shift+Clear to no avail, you probably have a setting enabled in the accessibility options of OS X that is preventing the numeric keypad from acting exclusively as a means of typing numbers. This setting is called Mouse Keys, which allows a user to control the onscreen cursor using the number pad on an extended keyboard.

Yes. Thanks - my keyboard does not have that extended area as in the photo above... so, no "clear" key...

 

The enable mouse was unchecked - I picked up an inexpensive keyboard... will have to use that. The local Apple dealer was also no help but may try there again when they have a more senior assistant... 

 

Thanks again.

Sorry. I missed the fact it was a MAC keyboard referred to in the initial post.
