how do i get the keyboard on my macbook pro to light up?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
What MacBook Pro have you got? Only Unibody MacBooks Pro (Late 2008 and newer) have a backlit keyboard. If you have one of these MacBooks Pro, you can set up its illumination in System Preferences > Keyboard. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4882

    You mean you just bought a game though iTunes thinking it was for your MacBook Pro.

    You don't. You can go to Apple menu > App Store to purchase games for your MacBook.
    or get my money back.

    On your iPad, delete the existing account then sign back in with the new ID and password.

    Have you the latest iOS version (5.1.1)? If not, an update might solve the problem.

  • HT4623 How do I get The keyboard to appear?

    How do I get the keyboard to appear?  I seem to have lost the use of it.

    Usually, just tap in a text box.
    however if you have a bluetooth attached and active then it'll prevent your onscreen keyboard from popping up

    The keyboard should automatically show up when you answer the calls, but what Johnathan said is correct.

  • How do I get the keyboard in the notes section of the ipad to pop up? It was working all day today and then stopped working.

    How do I get the keyboard in the notes section of the ipad to pop up? It was working all day today and then stopped. 

    I find it's touchy.  Tap anywhere on the note to bring up the keyboard. If you tap and hold, you won't bring up the keyboard. Just tap momentarily.
    If you can't get it to work, try restarting your iPad.  Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If it still doesn't work, try resetting your iPad.  Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I keep getting the spinning wheel, and macbook pro seems to be slowing down.  How do i fix this without buying software?

    I keep getting the spinning wheel, and macbook pro seems to be slowing down.  How do i fix this without buying software?

    Go to system profiler and report back the amount of RAM that you have.
    Make sure that you have at least 20% of your hard drive free.
    Make sure you don't have a lot of items on your desktop as that can slow things down.
    Quit applications that aren't responding or you aren't using and won't be using for a while.
    ~/Library/Caches Quit all applications and delete this folder. Do a regular delete then do a secure erase on all the items that won't delete.
    If it only happens with a certain application (Safari for example)...
    1. Quit the application (Safari)
    2. Open ~/Library/Preferences and find the file for safari (com.apple.Safari.plist).
    3. Put the file in the trash. Do NOT empty the trash yet. Open the application and make sure everything's ok. Now you can delete the file. In Mail if you trash the file, you will get rid or your setup.
    Make sure that your dashboard doesn't have too many widgets and use Activity Monitor to see what it's using.
         There are ways to disable if you want to.
    Make sure that all of your software is up to date.
    Repair permissions (it can't hurt)
    Don't have a lot of login items.
    Your internet browser shouldn't have a lot of extensions.
    I hope this helps

  • How do I get more memory for my Macbook Pro Spring 2010 13-inch with 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo?

    How do I get more memory for my Macbook Pro spring 2010 13-inch with 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Apple says no memory currently available for that model. I have 4 GB memory and 3.99 used. Help!

    Now I'm confused. This is the one Crucial told me to get:
    CT3309356 - 4GB DDR3 PC3-8500 Unbuffered NON-ECC 1.35V 512Meg x 64
    $45.99
    Also what do you mean that actual memory is 16GB but with Apple it's 8?
    When I go to the "About this Mac" it says Memory 4G 1067 MHz DDR3, then when I go to System Report it says
     Memory Slot
    Bank 0/ DIMM0 2G DDR3 1067 MHZ OK
    Bank 1/ DIMM0 2G DDR3 1067 MHZ OK
    Sorry I'm clueless. Just don't want to buy something that messes up my machine more than it already is.
    The Crucial site appears to have recommended the correct spec 4gB RAM stick for your model. Please note that you will need to remove the existing sticks of RAM to install new, so you will need 2x4gB to get to 8gB.
    When your model of computer was designed/built, it was tested with readily available 2x4gB (8gB). After release RAM retailers have tested it with higher amounts, and Apple didn't update their quoted specs.

  • How do we make the apple icon on Macbook pro?

    Hi, I wonder how I can make the apple icon on Macbook pro and how i make a heart ( not like this - <3) Someone knos what I have to do?

    Option-shft-K will get you the Apple logo in many, but not all, fonts.
    To find a font with a heart glyph use Character Viewer.
    Topher Kessler provides a how-to in this CNET article. He even uses "heart" in his search example.

  • How do i get microsoft excel on my macbook pro?

    hi, on my ipad/iphone i have docstogo which i use for my microsoft excel work, but what do i need to use to do the microsoft excel work on my new macbook pro? please help!
    thanks xx

    That will work to import Excel spreadsheets but you asked "how do i get microsoft excel on my macbook pro?". The answer remains, install Excel.
    LibreOffice is a good alternative to MS Office but it is not 100% compatible. So if you are exporting spreadsheets from LibreOffice for others to import to Excel, be aware that the export may not be 100% as you intended.

  • How do i get text messaging through my macbook pro?

    how do i get text messaging through my macbook pro?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and you use iMessage, you can use it in your Mac if you want. OS X Mountain Lion includes Messages, that allows you to use iMessage.
    First, check that your computer is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If so, open  > About this Mac, and see what OS X version you have:
    10.5 or older: you have to upgrade first to Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    10.6 or 10.7: open  > Software Update, and install the most recent version. Then, open the App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion.
    10.8: you are already using OS X Mountain Lion, so open the Messages app.
    While OS X Mountain Lion is being downloaded, make a backup of your files and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    If you aren't referring to iMessage, you can't send text messages in your computer

  • Spilled water over the keyboard of my MacBook Pro.

    Spilled water over the keyboard of my MacBook Pro. 13 inches. Used paper and dried it straigt away, it was working fine. Now, a few days later, my left shift-button, the ctrl-button and right-arrow button do not work. What can I do to try to fix this?
    My Mac is working completely fine. It was maybe 0,5 dl of water...

    Nothing that you can do to fix it. Best to just leave it off and take it to your local Apple Store or AASP. No telling how much it's going to cost you - there are liquid sensors all around your computer so the service centers will be able to tell that it's a case of liquid damage, even if there is no corrosion yet.
    You just have to be careful with any kind of liquids around notebooks - liquids and electricity just don't play well together.
    Sorry,
    Clinton
