I'm working with a Mac Pro. All of my common commands for Select all, copy, paste, create new folder, etc have suddenly stopped functioning. I can work from the menu bar, but I need the keyboard commands. How can I fix this?
Huh. That's a strange one. Press the caps lock key on your keyboard to see if it is functioning correctly. You may have turned on accessibility by mistake. Go to system preferences, then accessibility (looks like a man in a blue circle) and see if you can turn that off. Otherwise, You'd have to reset the smc/pmu first. Shut it down. Remove the power cord. Hold down the power button for a count of 45 seconds. take your finger off of the button. Plug the power cord back in, and press the power button to restart it.
that's all I have for now

Thanks so much. On a hunch, I switched out my keyboard with another - problem solved. Apparently, it was just a keyboard malfunction. Thanks so much for your time.
ALL of my keyboard commands have stopped working in all applications. Help?
