December 30, 2010 After finally being able to afford a Mac mini w/Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.5, Ive found that the System Preferences Keyboard Caps Lock (only designated with an up arrow icon accompanied underneath by a small, flush horizontal rectangle instead of having a Caps Lock label or title printed on the actual key itself), just teases an upper case shift of all of the letter keys ~ but doesnt lock or hold that transition in place to where capitalized (or upper case) letters can be utilized. Unfortunately, my Apple USB Model No.: A1048 Keyboard isnt working properly by showing any typed letters for some reason on either my new Mac mini or my G4 iBook. So thats how I stumbled onto this glitch with the Snow Leopard System Preferences Keyboard. By the way, I might note that I am very appreciative that this Apple OS X has included an onboard keyboard!
I did contact Apple Care regarding this glitch issue (case # 194765652) and was informed by the Apple Tech Support Representative that was fielding my phone call, that their Snow Leopard System Preferences Keyboard Caps Lock key was having the same problem. Which deduced for my inquiry that this issue is with Snow Leopard in general and not isolated to just my equipment. Any remedies or solutions other than buying myself another auxiliary keyboard or just getting used to having no upper case letters and any collateral keyboard accouterments while using my Mac mini, would be kindly welcome!
