Keyboard printing Alternate characters intermittently I had this problem before and after every conceivable trouble-shooting step, the Tech at London Drugs ( Apple Service Centre, here) determined the Accessibility/ Virtual keyboard was turned on! At the time I was sceptical that that was the problem, but turning it off seemed to resolve the issue. However, several times since the Keyboard starts printing Alternate characters and I have to re-boot the system to clear it. I am using my previous iMac Apple, keyboard and Trackpad which run on Replaceable, rechargeable AA batteries.

Magic Key board will not print all letters Keyboard is connectedly by USB, says 100% charged and connected - will not print many letters-only some. I have checked all bluetooth/keyboard settings- says connected. I have tried US keyboard and also ABC keyboard. I have tried my wife's keyboard with the same results. Computer worked fine, and the next boot up it did not work. Tried all preferences I could with keyboard and bluetooth. Most other functions seem to work fine. Transferred photos, read email, go on the web - I just cannot use the keyboard - iMac is like 2018/19 Thanks

Try the following 2-3 times in succession: Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

It's a wireless keyboard, right? Is there another Mac you can try it with?
