Letter L Stopped Working on Imac Keyboard Then Started Again
Go to your system preferences and select speech, so text to speech at the superlative. Uncheck "Speak selected text". That should solve your problem.

Trouble! Accept mavericks, now, and there is no such check box to uncheck.
Information technology is just my quote / apostrophe key.
I really remember that I accidentally press a wrong philharmonic of keys and shut that fundamental off, somehow!

Attempt it and permit united states know.
OMG digging deep in an apple discussion, I constitute the solution! In the Spoken language control panel, somehow the key shortcut got set to my alphabetic character j! So if you are having the outcome of a lower case letter not working no matter which keyboard you try, and then this may exist it! I already tried resetting all the keyboard defaults, resetting the preference file, everything. So good luck. Hope this helps someone else!

Check in your control panel and brand all changes back to default :Due south
I had similar trouble except would not type capital letter of the alphabet "A" when yous hit shift+A. My kids were playing with my laptop and had been playing with Speech part. System Preferences>System>Speech> Text to Speech; de-selected "Speak selected text when the key is pressed". Works fine now.
Bobtrons Solution worked great for me! My lowercase k wasnt working but my capital Yard was. Now they both work! :)

Aforementioned hither!!!!!! My letter "t" doesnt piece of work in lower example except correct now im using a different keyboard.
sometimes my t and y keys wont piece of work also..... what I practise is unplug the keyboard and wait a few seconds before plugging information technology dorsum in.. or beat on it very violently (does not work,lol)

I cannot capitalize the letter "t" on my keyboard. I take gone into speech, just in my example the box is not checked and has never been checked. So, I'm left with the same problem. Any ideas? It's just the t.

Had the same problem with my "R", together with cmd+v (very annoying). Did exactly the same as suggested by :three, and now it's working fine.
I had the same trouble with my capital Z. I used the organisation preferences solution (speech) and unchecked the box as indicated and at present it's working fine. Saved me a trip to the store where I bought it!
In response to simba'due south message, it works perfect! if your lower instance keys arn't working and just the capital letter ones are, follow the instructions they accept left and it should correct this! many thanks! If this fails to work peradventure attempt creating a new user account, open up something that allows you to type text and hit the key that doesnt work, hopefully if this works then it will narrow down your search in respect to whether your keyboard button is working or not. Best ps thanks
I had the same trouble, but when I went to Oral communication, the box wasn't checked simply Hither's what worked - created a new user business relationship and the keyboard worked fine
Thanks for the tip...I can now apply my cap "S" again which was not working when I used shift and then s.The default for speech is shift-s. Really bought a new keyboard thinking it was broken...anyone need a keyboard?

sa_e here! all l 7 letters at the _otto_ are dow_
What the hell, I however don't believe that this was cured my problem too. My keystroke "d" is not working, originally, I think there is concrete problem on the keyboard and is planned to purchase a new 1. However, this advise just cured that "D" keystroke. What the hell apple!!!
I take the same trouble only with my J push button (again lower example simply). I accept switched keyboards and reset my controls to default, but still zilch. Whatsoever thoughts?

Did y'all ever find a solution to your lower case j not working? Nosotros are having the aforementioned trouble. I have reset every keyboard setting I can discover. It acts similar information technology is doing some sort of modifier, considering sometimes the EDIT menu flashes at the top when yous hit information technology.
Let me know if yous have plant out annihilation.
