Macbook pro (retina) keyboard backlight not working after Yosemite update

Help,
My keyboard backlight stopped working when I upgraded my Macbook pro (retina) from Mavericks to Yosemite. Nothing in System Preferences -> Keyboard makes a change. This is a feature I use a lot. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Try a SMC reset:

Macbook pro retina keyboard backlight always on

My new MacBook Pro Retina keyboard backlight always on under room light?
I've to turn it off manually.
But if under sunlight, it doesn't lit which means the ALS is working, may be just not that sensitive enough under ML.
ML problem ?
I saw those display set at retail is working under room light but running Lion not ML.
Is ML really have problem ?
Should I reverse to Lion ?

No need to revert back to Lion.
May be resetting SMC will help.

My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update

My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update. It ran beta 5 great but failed on restart after beta 6 install. There is no cursor but I can hear the HDD spooling up. I have tried booting in safe mode, PRAM reset and SMC reset but nothing works. After the first 5 days of every now and then trying to start it, it started fine. I used the machine all day with no problems, it had rolled back the install and was back on beta 5. I decided to try the update again, the same thing happened and it has stayed black for over a week now. It wont work with a monitor either. Help!

Hello Adam,
I would try instead of installing the beta software, to install the official build of OS X Yosemite from the Mac App Store to see if that gets you passed the no video issue when updating the beta software.

My Macbook pro retina battery is not working

Hello everybody,
I kinda need help, maybe somebody here can give me an advice. I kinda destroyed my Macbook pro retina with coffé My father spilled the coffé on the table and the coffé went exactly inside the laptop. It didnt work but after complete and careful cleaning it works. (except the battery) Battery is not working at all, but interesting is, that I still can see the percentage of charge of the batery.
In the authorised czech service they told me that they need to replace the whole battery (with the skelet of the laptop) so it is very expensive. But I believe that there is maybe some other way? Anybody can help me?
Thank you very much
Jakub

I forgot... The percentage of the charge of the battery is moving now it is 9% but before it was more... 10%,11% etc...

MacBook Pro Backlit Keyboard does not work

Hello all!
I recently bought a used MacBook Pro (late 2008, 2.4 GHz Core2Duo) and the backlight on the keyboard does not work. I have reset the SMC and the PRAM, I have the latest firmware (EMI and SMC) and still no luck. I am hoping this isn't a hardware issue, but what can I do to fix this?

I think there is a sensor on the top left. It looks like a little speaker thing. If you swipe your finger over it, it activates/deactivates it. I read this somewhere online. Works for me most of the time if it's not lighting up and showing the 'no/stop' symbol.

I have the same problem when I updated to OS X 10.10 I lost both my USB ports as far as they will not recognize anything that I plug into them. The power part of the USB seams to work since it will recharge my Striiv Touch but nothing shows up when you connect anything to the ports.
I have tried a number of things from rebooting, trying other usb devices that work on other systems with no problems but will not work on my Macbook Pro.
Any Help out there?

Keyboard Backlight not working after SMC reset

I have a Late 2009 MacBook Pro, and I noticed that the backlight for my keyboard stopped working last night. I Performed an SMC reset and powered the computer back up. Again the backlight never came on, but I noticed that if I pressed the keyboard brightness buttons the icon that used to show on the screen showing what the brightness is at, (like the volume one), was not showing up anymore. I checked the keyboard settings and noticed that the auto brightness for the keyboard dissapeard. Anyone have any suggestions?

try to reinstall your firmware, im having the similar problems, but reinstalling wont let me.... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237

Macbook 13 Retina keyboard backlight not turning on

Hi all,
I've had my 13inch MPRr for about two weeks now and whenever it comes out of sleep from a LidOpen the keyboard backlight will seldom turn on. It is pretty inconsistent but I can usually get it activated again when I put it into sleep manually from the menu bar. Has anyone else experienced erratic behavior from the keyboard backlight?

I'm also experiencing this problem. my 2.6 macbook pro is less than 2 weeks old and the backlit keyboard stopped illuminating a few days ago. it DID work for a time, but suddenly decided to stop working. labtick and preference pane tweaks have done nothing to fix the problem.
Try resetting your SMC, PRAM and run your hardware tester.

AirDrop between iPhone 6 plus (iOS 8.1) and MacBook Pro retina early 2013 not working

Hi there,
Can somebody please help me. I ent to transfer so videos that I have saved via airdrop To my MacBook pro from my iPhone 6plus.
When I try to send via airdrop, neither my phone shows the MacBook as available not does my MacBook show that my phone is available to send/receive files via airdrop. I have wifi and Bluetooth activated. Please can somebody help? I can't email the files because they are too large for that.
Thank you.

Hey romeopatel,
I see that you are experiencing some issues with AirDrop. I have an article with some information for you about what to do if your device is not appearing when attempting to AirDrop:
Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6510
Don't see who you're looking for?
When you select AirDrop, OS X looks for other Mac computers and devices that are nearby that also use AirDrop. If you don't see someone in the AirDrop window, here are some things to check.
Preventing senders
You can prevent people you don't know from sending you files, or you can allow everyone. If you don't see a recipient in the AirDrop window, they might only accept files from people who in their Contacts list. Ask them to add you in their Contacts app, or have them select the option "Allow me to be discovered by: Everyone" in the AirDrop window.
Sending files to and from an older Mac
If a Mac you're using with AirDrop was manufactured before 2012, you can send and receive files with other Mac computers.
On the sending Mac, click "Don't see who you're looking for" in the AirDrop window.
Select the option to "Search for an Older Mac."
On the receiving Mac, open a new Finder window and click AirDrop in the sidebar.
Tips for sending files
Make sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled on your Mac and your iOS device. Although you don't have to connect to a specific network, Wi-Fi needs to be on to send and receive files using AirDrop.
Move your devices closer together. AirDrop is designed to work within a range of approximately 30 feet (9 meters). If you need to send a file to someone farther away, consider using File Sharing, iCloud, or email instead.
If you're using a firewall on your Mac, you won't be able to receive AirDrop files if you have enabled "Block all incoming connections" in the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences.
Make sure your devices meet system requirements for AirDrop.
System Requirements
To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed and your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model. To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need one of the Mac models listed below and OS X Lion or later.
MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
*The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.
For help identifying your Apple product, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu, or refer to the Apple Support website.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Macbook pro ipod nano does not work after plugging in

I plugged in an iPod nano to my MacBook Pro which has two operating systems, one is OS and the other is Windows. I don't know which generation the iPod nano is. The PC side of the MacBook Pro is working but the OS side is not working. It allows me to login and then shows a blank white screen with the pointer cursor.
The iPod nano was plugged in to add music from iTunes. I plugged it in, opened iTunes, and the iPod nano was not recognized on iTunes or on the computer in Finder. I unplugged the iPod nano and closed iTunes. When I opened iTunes again, it gave me an error and will not open iTunes again. I restarted the computer and this is when the OS side stopped working and the PC side continued to work. I was able to load OS in Safe Mode though.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help. Thanks!

I had the same issue...of course i went swimming with my iPod but still. If it is the battery that is giving you trouble then go back to your local apple store or call them. Ask what the most reliable place for iPod repair is. A second option (what I did) is to go into the iPod recycle program. They take your old iPod and either give you a discount on the new one of the same style or a discount on a new one of the 3rd gen. I recomend the first option if your iPod is unused.

Macbook pro (snow leopard) will not boot after software update

I helped my mom buy a Macbook Pro for herself for Christmas. Today, I connected it to her old eMac and used the migration assistant to transfer files over. It was unable to estimate migration time on the only user (after 45 minutes) so I didn't migrate the user. Then I tried to pair her macbook to her new bluetooth keyboard, but no magic happened, so I tried to use the bluetooth setup assistant, which crashed. So I ran a software update, hoping that this would fix whatever the bluetooth problem is. Despite having updated on the 23rd, there were 4 updates. None seemed applicable but I installed them anyway. Now the computer won't boot at all.
Software update said that I had to restart for the updates to take effect, so I restarted. The harddrive went whirrrrrr and the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning circle displayed. Then the harddrive stopped going whirrrr and 10 minutes later, I started looking on the support site for what to do. I found this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10564149&#10564149
Per the instructions in the last post, I fscked the drive (although -f, in accordance with the fsck help). This found no problems. The next suggestion was to boot from the OSX install disk. Only one problem-- there was a disk in the disk drive when the problem occurred and the disk eject button apparently only works while in the gui. I can't install from disk if I can't get the existing disk out of the drive.
So, any other ideas on what I can do to get this machine to boot?

Hi Jen:
Since it's new, you're entitled to 90 days of phone support (3 years if you buy AppleCare). It sounds to me like you may have some hardware issue(s) going on - you should not have the sorts of issues you're having with a new Mac. Apple will probably be much better and faster about getting you fixed than this board may be able to if that is the case.

Bootcamp not working after Yosemite update

Hi,
I have similar problem after updating to Yosemite, now I can't boot into windows. There is no Windows option at startup when holding on ALT button and in disk utility, it showed Mac OS X partition with disks greyed out. I updated to Yosemite on my 11 inch Mac air and Mac Pro with no problem, before I decided to update my sons iMac (which has his school work) and ran into this problem. I remembered I use a third party program called Paragon NTFS. Could this be the problem?
Please Help.

Hi, thank you for your time.
I tried the simpler fix, and when rebooted, the windows partition showed up when hold on the ALT key, but when i tried to load it, it say "missing operating system".
In OSX, i can't see the bootcamp partition under Finder or on the desktop.
TestDisk did finish analysing the drive, but i accidentally quit the program before i could look into the files, so now running test disk again. However I did save the Testdisk log file before running it again. Here is the log file, if it is any help:

Finder disappears/not working after Yosemite update

Anyone else having issues with their finder freezing, yet other apps continue to work? This started happening a lot after the Yosemite update, and never happened before! And when I go and relaunch the finder through "force quit" the folders on my desktop disappear. This would last about ten minutes before finder starts working again. And I started noticing it happens when I open Safari, could that be part of it?
Anyone have a fix? or having the same issue?
Kind of annoying considering the amount spent on a 'high end' computer....
I have a mid-2012 macbook pro.
Thanks!

Best.
