Hi,

  • Press the Num Lock key.
  • If you have a separate numeric keypad on your keyboard, the Num Lock key is located in the numeric keypad. If you’re using a portable Mac, Num Lock is sometimes a function key, marked Num Lock. If your keyboard has a separate keypad but no Num Lock key, try pressing Shift-Delete.
  • If the numeric keypad still doesn’t work as you expect, you may have enabled Mouse Keys, which lets you move the pointer with the keypad.
  • To see the option that turns off Mouse Keys, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Mouse & Trackpad.
