Answer:
✸Open Speech preferences in system Preferences. If “Speak slected text when the key is pressed” is enabled, the key combination to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text –change to a more obscure key combination ( try to use more modifler keys such as shift command , Option, and Control). Or, simply disable the “Speak selected text when the key is pressed “option.
✸Universal Access preferences in system Preferences, click the Keyboard tab, and make sure that slow keys is turned off. with slow keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
✸In Universal Access preferences, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers–instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). ( There’s an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you might want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it .) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you’re using a keyboard with no numerric keypad or Num Lock function
✸If the issue persists, open system Preferences and click International.
✸Click the input Menu tab.
✸Click the Keyboard Viewer “On” checkbox to choose it.
✸From the Input (flag) menu, select Show Keyboard Viewer.
✸If the Keyboard is connected and detected by Mac OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Try typing to see if that happens.
✸Open TextEdid (or another text application) and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding.
Answer:
Make sure the NUM LOCK key is not engaged.
There really isn't anything in universal access that would lock up your keyboard.
