Numpad not always working on Mac. Blender 2.5 Beta

I’m using the Blender Beta on a mac, and I find the numpad view controls keep cutting out. Kinda annoying! Is there something very simple I’m doing wrong? A button that disables it, that kinda thing? Completely new to this so any ideas would be very useful!

Many thanks.

A button that disables it, that kinda thing?
Num lock key on your keyboard

I’m not sure Macs have a numlock… :confused:

If its the aluminium keyboard with a numpad it does. If its an older mac keyboard I don’t see why it wouldn’t

What does it look like? I have a new wired aluminium one and an older plastic one, I can’t see “num pad” on it anywhere.
