Keyboard Backlight Won't Turn Off
Since installing Leopard, the backlight on the keyboard of my MacBook Pro has not turned off. I went into the preferences and unchecked and checked the "illuminate keyboard" button in the Keyboard & Mouse section, but for some reason it's still on. Anybody know why this might be happening? I'm not sure if it's related to Leopard or not, but still, I don't want the light to burn out because it's now on 24/7, whether the room is dark or not.
Alex,
I don't know why it's happening but rest assured that you are not alone.
I am having this problem too. Besides of the backlight, the keyboard will sometime feel unresponsive.

I have a black screen which has the downloading circle going round and round but which is otherwise frozen and won't respond to
troubleshooting suggestions for turning it off and rebooting. Any suggestions please ?Reboot: Do this exactly: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until you see the Apple Logo, then let go of both buttons and your iPad should restart.

Thank you and please respond as fast as possible -----
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Im using intel macbook pro 13" and since I'm using the new OSX Lion, the keyboard backlit won't turn off and it's eating up my precious battery. Im always mobile so this is very important. Apple doing something to fix this bug immediately?

I don't think you have a case.
You can replace the logic board yourself if you are a DIY'er and save some money. -
Macbook Pro Retina 15" won't turn on.
Macbook Pro Retina 15" won't turn on. The charger light is orange. I tried all tips that Apple provides on the official site - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204267. Any ideas?
If you purchased it from Apple directly, they have a 14 exchange or refund policy. Keep that in mind when you go to the store.

Please read the warranty paperwork that came w/your computer.
You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked.
You have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out. Let Apple deal w/the problems.
If you DIY and mess up, your warranty will be VOIDED! -
Only part of my macbook pro keyboard backlight works
only part of my macbook pro keyboard backlight works , all settings and f6/7 keys work ok but only a triangle in the centre lights up, so the rest of the keyboard is dark.
Pleqase someone shed some light.
Bought in May 2012It is likely a hardware defect. If you bought it in May of 2012, it is still under warranty. Take it back to the store or mail it in to be fixed.

Keyboard backlight does not turn off while watching video
I just discovered this issue on my new macbook air (haswell). I also found a thread on it here from back in 2009, apparently it's been an issue for 4 years!!!???
In that thread people noted that if the backlight is set to anyhing more than 5 seconds, the backlight won't turn off while watching a video, but at 5 seconds, turns off fine as it should.
Anyone have any ideas? Just seems like it needs to be taken seriously by Apple and fixed in a future OSX update.Try resetting your SMC:

Keyboard backlight can't turn off automatically
Keyboard backlight can't turn off automatically on my MBP Retina after I installed mountain lion. It worked fine before I upgrade OX10.7 to 10.8. How can I fix it?
Ah sorry didn't notice you have XP. Power Plan Assistant is for 7 and Vista only. FYI I've been searching for the working solution days and nights before found the Power Plan Assistant software... I have to tell, there seem to be no other workarounds if you want to keep Bootcamp.exe in RAM. If you kill it, remove it from startup items in registry and reboot, there will be no keyboard backlight (pros), but as well no hardware controls at all, no delete key, no multitouch function of touchpad, etc... (idea-killer cons)

HT3964 I have a macbook pro and it randomly will turn off
I have a macbook pro and it randomly will turn off. This happens when the computer is plugged in and when it is not. The condition of the battery says: good.
I borrowed someones charger and after 5 to 10 minutes of charging it turned on. The charger light came on amber and was amber during the entire charge and has been green since. Unlike my charger which would only come on green, or very very dim green no matter what since the batter has died completely. Do you think that this is definitely the problem or is there anything I should check while I have it on and running?

My iPhone4 won't turn on even after being charged for 1 hour and when I plug it into my computer nothing happens. PLEASE HELP
I have a similar (if not the exact same) problem! Here are some more details if they are helpful.
My iPhone 4 died earlier today and will not turn back on. It seemed that the battery died while it was not in use. I attempted to charge it on one charging cord in multiple wall outlets and none worked. Assuming it was a malfunction in the cord, I took my phone home to try charging it there.
Again, I attempted charging it in multiple outlets with a different cord than previously used. None of these seemed to work, though they would flash the Connect to Power screen for a brief moment before returning to a black screen. I assumed that my phone was simply so depleted of battery that it needed a long charge.
I charged it for 30+ minutes without any success, then attempted to charge it through my MacBook instead of through a wall outlet. iTunes did not even recognize that my phone plugged in (and still hasn't). I've attempted charging it for an extended period of time (1+ hour) with no luck. Sometimes when I press the Power button it will flash the Connect to Power screen once more before returning to black.
The Apple logo never appears, nor does any apparent progress on charging. I have attempted holding down the Power and Home buttons simultaneously for 10 - 30 second increments. Still no luck. There is no reason anything should be happening with this phone that I can identify.
I have no warranty and just recently replaced my previous phone which had had similar problems before completely crashing. This is a phone new to me that was previously used but in almost new conditions and factory reset by Apple prior to my purchase.
Does this mean that my phone battery is dead?
Is there anything else I can do?? -
IPOD WON'T TURN ON EVEN AFTER TRYING TO RESET IT
PLS. HELP! MY IPOD WITH VIDEO WON'T TURN ON EVEN AFTER TRYING TO RESET IT. THE BATTERY IS FULL. IT WILL JUST TURN ON AFTER 24HRS. WHEN THE BATTERY IS DRAINED EVEN WITHOUT USING IT BECAUSE IT IS IN FROZEN STATE. FOR INSTANCE AFTER DISCONNECTING FROM THE COMPUTER SAFELY AFTER CHARGING IT I KEPT IT OPEN BUT WHEN IT TURNED OFF AUTOMATICALLY IT WILL NOT TURN ON.
Ok well, if you do not have the Ipod starter disk, you can’t do very much to save it anymore. It is completely gone.
At this point I would recommend you calling Apple and setting up a repair. I would suggest you buy their warrantee plan, ($50 and good from 2 years) and it starts as soon as you buy the plan, NOT when you got your Ipod. The reason I would suggest that is, because if they deny your problem (like they did to me 5 time before finally replacing mine) it will save you a LOT of money. There may also be further issues as well with your Ipod.
Apples SoS number is:

They might even have a few ideas on how to fix it as well!
As for “Viruses” I would highly doubt it. Viruses are programs designed to destroy certain parts of computer. Such as, a virus that destroys windows computer, does not do anything to Mac computer. It does not have the same components. The same thing goes for Ipod, PSP, etc. Files my contain viruses in them, but it would not effect the product in most cases. Only if you transfer the file on it to another computer, could it do anything.
Your problem is, most likely your ipod just broke. Or should I say, just stopped working. Ipod’s are notorious at doing such things. Apple will take care of it. BUT GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY! That is the only way to make sure they fix it. It is cheaper than buying a $350-$400 new 60 gig Video.
Good luck my friend, God Life -
