For some it’s the MacBook keyboard that’s not working, for others, it’s the trackpad that’s acting up. Bluetooth is offline or unavailable. If it does, that key is functioning correctly.

I’m afraid I don’t have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 install handy, so I’m working a little blind here, however under System Preferences do you have a “Language & Region” (or something similar) option? How to notate this two-voice syncopation in 12/8 time? Thank you!!! Would have taken me 10 minutes to get that many before. I had this problem for over a month on my Macbook pro 13 inches, early 2011.

And it works! Good job, Apple. Sadly this didn’t fix my issue of my period suddenly not working but when I went into the keyboard settings to try it I noticed a handy tick box of “add period with double space” which I clicked and it at least allows me to use periods for now while I try to figure out how to get my period button working again.

I followed the suggestion and installed the British keyboard, selected the US , closed sys pref and no dice. I’ve never been so incredibly frustrated and had it alleviated so quickly.

Fantastic – I had 2 keys not responding any more, and now: Beautifully working again! I had two keyboards installed in sys pref, US, and Typeit4me, the latter was selected when opened Sys pref. MacBook Pro. Thanks for your post Andrew!
