Solved/Closed

Hello,
if you can help me, I'm trying to block my numeric keypad without success. I can use my numbers by pressing the arrow key simultaneously, but how can I write a series of numbers without pressing that arrow key at the same time? Is there a key or something else to switch to numeric mode? I have a white MacBook from Apple, thank you for your help.
Configuration: Mac OS X Safari 525.27.1

    I have the solution for your keyboard. Go to System Preferences and then International
    and choose French numeric keyboard only
    then you will see the lock arrow in green and it works and the period too
    there you go, I hope I helped you

      Hi! I bought the latest MacBook and I'm facing this issue. I have to hold the Shift key to type the numbers. I did what was mentioned in the forum, but the problem is that I can't deselect French because it's not highlighted.
      Could someone please help me?
      Thanks in advance!

    An unknown anomaly in my career.
    The numeric keypad no longer works on the keys from 1 to 9.
    The symbol keys (=/*-+,0) work.
    Changed the keyboard, same issue on the new one.

    The machine, an EMAC G4 - OSX 10.2.8
    I don't understand...

    A helping hand would be appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hello,

    You need to go to System Preferences / Languages and Text / Input Methods .. and there, you need to activate the French Numeric keyboard and the French keyboard
    (the box "Show Input menu in menu bar" should be checked)
    Then from the menu bar, you can choose the French keyboard or French Numeric.
    With the French Numeric keyboard activated and the Caps Lock key, you should achieve what you're looking for.

    Have a nice day.

    I had the same problem and I managed to solve it. You need to go to system preferences, keyboard, input method. Then, check "French (numeric)" BUT make sure no other box is checked! "French (numeric)" must be the only box checked for it to work.

      You first need to check "Francais (numerique)" and then you can uncheck French.

    EASY: double click on shift (?)! In any case, it works on MacBook 8
    YOU'RE WELCOME, GUYS!

    Il faut faire attention à ce qu'en haut à droite il y ait les chiffres 123 en dessous du drapeau français (le raccourci pour passer d'un mode numérique à non numérique est 'cmd' + 'spacebar').

    Little information that may prove useful for understanding the tutorials and answers, the "little arrow" is called SHIFT.

    Hello
    I have the same problem, but this solution does not solve my issue. It is still impossible to use the numeric keypad.
    Mac mini + Apple Bluetooth keyboard

    Thank you for your help.

      Hi, I found the solution, I have the same setup as you (mac mini + bluetooth keyboard).
      You need to go to system preferences => language and text => input sources => select French numeric and deselect French in the dropdown menu on the left.

      See you!

      Hello, to lock the mouse with the numeric keypad, you need to go to Universal Access, Mouse, and check or uncheck the box. If you have difficulty using the mouse, check "no" and the numeric keypad will come back.

    Hi,
    I'm having the same issue with a MacBook Pro. I had selected French in the setup assistant. As mentioned above, I switched French and French Numerical in "Language and Text" and still can't type numbers without the Shift key... Thank you for your help.

    Hi Sanspseudo

    Thank you! Finally someone who gives good advice without going on and on like so often happens.
    This has really taken a big thorn out of my side!
    Thanks!

    The only way I know to do this is to switch to QWERTY mode on your keyboard while you type the numbers, then switch back to AZERTY. Because when you find in QWERTY, the pad is automatically locked.
    To do this, go to system preferences, language and text, input methods, choose French and also select American! Then check the little box below that offers to display it in the menu bar, so you can easily switch from one to the other. I even believe there is a keyboard shortcut like "Command + Parenthesis."
    There you go.
