Some keys don't work as expected
- From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
- From the View menu, choose Speech.
- Click the Text to Speech tab.
- If 'Speak selected text when the key is pressed' is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the 'Speak selected text when the key is pressed' option.
- Click the Accessibilty or Universal Access pane in System Preferences, then click the Keyboard tab.
- 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 the Accessibilty or Universal Access pane, 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 is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
- If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
- If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
- Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
- Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
- Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer 'On' checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer 'On' checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
- From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
- If the keyboard is connected and detected by OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
- Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working. If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly. Use How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

People really like to snip an image in multiple ways. We generally get a snipping tool inbuilt with most of the newly arrived windows versions after Windows-7. This tool is represented with a scissor sign and comes inbuilt with the windows version. People who are habitual of using this tool try to find a substitute for it on the Mac platform as well. People looking for an alternative approach/application which can substitute snipping tool can follow these simple tips in order to avail the same benefit from their Mac.
How to Snip Screen in Macbook
1. A full screen capture in Mac:-
In order to have a full screen image capture in Mac, you can bring a shortcut command in use. This command just includes you to press a few keys all together at a same time. You only need to make use of your keyboard and you never need any application in order to follow this approach. The shortcut key combination includes you to use the Command, Shift and '3' key together at a same time.
2. A selectable screen capture:-
Some people never require capturing full screen image. I am not using Mac currently and though I have snipping tool in my windows 7 computer, but still I like to edit my pictures printing them first using print screen option and then I paste them to paint. It makes me able to crop up only a selected portion of the captured screen. This is also possible with your Mac. All you need to do for this purpose is a shortcut key combination to be pressed at a same time. This includes you to press Command key, Shift key and '4' key, all at the same time.
3. Download a snipping application:-
Just like Windows these days has its own application store, even Apple devices come equipped with an application store which can be bought in use to download quality applications and one such application is the snipping application. You can download it from the Mac app store and it can be downloaded if you have OSX 10.6.6 or later versions in supported with your gadget.
This application makes you able to capture the screen of your Mac. You can capture the image of an active window using this application. You can zoom in or zoom out using the drag feature and you can also add labels, texts and handwriting contents etc according to your choice saving it to your device with this tool.
4. The screenshot tool:-
Print Screen On Macbook
Mac devices come with inbuilt screenshot capturing tools and thus there is no need left for any snipping/ picture capturing and editing tool. Though we have mentioned the approach to download a snipping tool in a Mac based device but it has been told keeping in mind the requirements of a new Mac user only.
See Full List On Support.apple.com
The screenshot application within the Mac system is enough to make you capture any desired part of the screen which can later on be cropped up according to the requirement of the user.
