My mac air keyboard is not working or is lock how can I unlock it?

Try rebooting. You may have accidentally typed something to change a setting, and rebooting may reset it.

Hi Kip,

On the right side of the number keypad on a Mac Laptop, there is a 'Clear' button above the number 7. Press Shift + Clear to turn Num Lock on. Press that again to turn it off. If the keyboard doesn't have a number pad, press F6.

Assuming you're referring to the numbers on an extended keyboard, try unchecking Mouse Keys in the Univeral Access preference.

Are you pressing the fn key at the same time? These are FunctioN buttons and work in conjunction with the fn key.

There is no keyboard locking facility on the Macintosh.
I suggest you attach an external USB keyboard to your Mac and see if it works. If so, your builtin keyboard may need repair. If not, you will have to be more specific as to what behavior you are receiving from your keyboard, and what state your machine is in when it occurs.

try to connect your keyboard to the mac air while mac book is connected to internet (by wifi) then update your programs (apple menu - update).

The Ibook keyboards are very simple to replace.
There are small lock tabs on the top of the keyboard between top row of keys, they simply unlock by hooking your fingernail on them and lightlly pulling down( one on each side).
You can remove the airport card, and the heat shield around that and the ram cards, and you'll be able to unhook the ribbon cable from the computer... use care. And there are several replacement keyboards available online (ebay etc) at very reasonable prices...
Make sure to get a compatible keyboard and you should eliminate your malfunction.. for less than 50 bucks..

im sorry to tell you that most likely you have gotten some sort of fluid down into the keyboard wich has shortcircuited it.

Why did you wipe it in the first place? did you try to remove something you spilled? or was the cloth you wiped with wet?
