Safe to remove keys?

i was wondering if it was okay to remove the keys off the macbook. as my down arrow key doesnt work that well.
i saw on another site, that they could just be pulled off, and on another that they couldn't, so im confused.
i don't want to break it.

I had the exact same problem a while back. You don't need to pop off the key to fix it. All I did to fix it was I took a credit car and inserted it into the gap between the key and the case. From there I just pried up around the edge of the key every which way, but never enough to pop it off. After that the down key was fine! I think it had to do something with the spring in the key becoming misaligned or something. Pulling up on the key with enough force just let the spring pop back into its proper place. I hope that helps some!

  • SD CARD SLOT NOT SHOWING ON "safe to remove hardware" list ***NEWBIE**

    i have purchased my very first imac and i have installed windows 7 through bootcamp. the first problem i have encountered is that when i insert a sd card or a back up drive via the usb port i do not get the "safe to remove hardware" icon i normally get on my pc. i am able to eject the sd card via the computer option when i right click the sd card i get the eject option but i do not get the option when i right click the portable hard drive. i have tried the "rundll" option wia "cmd" the "safe to remove hardware" box appears but the sd card and the portable hard drive do not appear. its as if the computer is not aware of anything in the slots.
    when attaching multiple files in yahoo mail with a pc you just press the shift key does anyone know the equivilant for mac keyboard ?
    thanks in adavance for your help

    Hi,
    odd...
    If you open the Windows Explorer where are the SD-card and the USB-HD shown ?
    Are they shown in the 'removable' section ?
    Is thse USB-HD a 'Windows'-only HD or have you partitioned it to a Windows and a Mac OSX partition ?
    Have you tried a different USB-port on your iMac for connecting the HD ?
    What file system (FAT32 or NTFS) and what partition scheme (MBR or GPT) is used on the HD ?
    And on the SD-card as well ?
    As for the shift-key I don't that irregularity when using BootCamp Windows, but maybe that's because I still use WIndows XP with it.
    Might be a very far reached guess, but who knows...: try the key-combo 'fn+shift-key' to enable/disable the scroll-lock... (very far.... I know).

  • What is the diffrence between cookies and cache, is it safe to remove cache?

    what is the difference between cookies and cache , is it safe to remove cache ? . I had cleaned cookies many times but I have not removed cache , does it goes on increasing day by day ? please let me know

    Cookies are small files that contain information useful to a web site -- such as password, preferences, last date visited, etc. You may remove the cookies that you don't want adn since some of them are a privacy issue, many people remove them all.
    Cache is just a collection of data downloaded to help display a web page. After you leave a site, much of the cache is left on your computer and is no longer needed. You can always remove the cache because it will be replaced as needed.

  • No longer safe to remove iPod after updating (synching)

    I'm using iTunes 7 on XP Pro. AMD Athlon 64. 4G 60-gig iPod (color).
    "Enable Disk Use" is NOT checked, but my iPod now shows up as a Removable Disk in XP. And after synching, iTunes says "iPod update is complete" but no longer tells me it's safe to remove my iPod.
    Yes, I can manually eject the iPod, but that's a bit of a pain. I'd rather just grab it and go. Any ideas?
    (Please don't tell me, here in the WINDOWS forum, that buying a Mac will solve all my problems. Another answer like that will send me into the nearest clock tower.)

    Well, I believe you should keep it because you may need it later.
    Try to delete other files on your computer, or backup some of the data to CD-R, DVDR or external hard drive and then remove them.

  • DVD drive is initiating "safe to remove hardware" by itself

    Hi. I am getting the following 2 error messages. I just did a clean re-install of Windows 7 and for the first 3 weeks I had no issues at all (could be unrelated). I am not initiating anything. My laptop is doing this by itself. It just randomly on its own
    tries to remove my DVD-ROM. Then it is unable to do it b/c the device is still in use. I have tried searching for this issue and cannot find any other threads. It clicks and beeps and does this all day long - it interrupts my work. The DVD player works just
    fine, and when I right-click Properties - it says driver is up to date and device is working. So there appears to be no issues with the device itself... rather that my computer is operating in phantom mode - trying to safely remove hardware on its own that
    I am not trying to remove. I have actually gone ahead and removed the DVD drive just to see if it would help, then put it back in, and the problem persists. I am running Window7 64-bit OS. Please help me stop this annoying problem! Thanks!
    error 1: "safe to remove hardware. The HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4247N ATA device can now be safely removed.
    error 2: "Problems ejecting HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4247N ATA device . Windows is unable to stop the device.... Close any programs using this device and then remove it.'

    Hi,
    The reson why I share KB555665 with you is that we can refer to the instruction to use Process Explorer to view what happened with the drive. We can view the detailed process of the drive and find out what is handling\controlling it.
    Or there may be some hardware or software that is interfering with the CD or DVD drive. You can test this after restarting your computer in a clean boot state
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
    If this issue disappears in this mode, then we can go on to find out the cause. Detailed instructions about How-To are included in KB 929135

  • Safe to remove battery and run on AC?

    Hi, I got my macbook for college. Since it's summer, I'm only using it at home but I don't want to waste my battery cycles. Is it safe to remove the battery from the computer and only use power from the MagSafe power adapter?

    By default if it senses no battery the CPU will be "throttled" - reduced to half speed. In addition should the MagSafe adapter be accidentally disconnected (it's pretty easy) you'll end up with an uncontrolled shutdown, which could be pretty bad depending on what you're doing. If there's a hard drive write occurring, that could be really bad. The battery is supposed to effectively serve as an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) as well as a supplemental power source when the adapter itself can't handle the load. I suspect the CPU is throttled to prevent it from maxing out the adapter power.

  • The last update 15.01 did not remove 15.0 is it safe to remove 15.0?

    After doing the the last update 15.01 a few days later as part of my regular maintenance I go to remove programs to check for anomalous or invasive programs. I noticed Firefox 15.0 is still there. Normally the program replaces itself and or removes older versions. I am assuming it is safe to remove 15.0

    Hey, me too. I'm not inclined to touch either of them without someone digging through the Windows Registy and figuring out what the Uninstall button will do. If you like to experiment, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings folder (your Profiles folder) in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. For example, you can copy your entire Firefox Profiles folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.

  • Safe to remove...?

    I was wondering if it would be safe to remove Adobe Premiere Pro CS 4 by drag-n-drop. When I installed Adobe Master Collection CS 4, I did not select to install it, however it still appears in my Applications folder and is hogging space. How can I get rid of this? I would also like to remove Soundbooth, Encore, After Effects, Device Central, and Adobe Drive CS 4.

    Check the folders to see if the applications were really installed or is
    the folder a placeholder filled with the additional content. I believe
    it is the later. If this is the case the material can be removed. You
    might make a backup in case it is not easily restored when/if you add
    those applications.

  • Is it safe to remove "en-US" from System32 ?

    Recently, after adding the French and English (United Kingdom) language packs to an image and installing that image, I selected "fr-FR" as the primary language of the system. I removed the en-US language pack using DISM, but its folder is still
    present in System32. Is it safe to remove this folder ?

    Hi,
    Why did you want to delete this folder? Its size is so small for your whole computer.
    This symptom is normal. "fr-FR" is your primary language. However, system main file need English to display and run many files.
    I would like to suggest you don't delete it in order to run system smoothly.

  • Is it safe to remove default kernel?

    I've installed linux-ck kernel from repo-ck with nvidia GPU support. Why don't linux-ck and nvidia-ck replace the respective default kernel packages? Is it safe to remove the default kernel like this "# pacman -R linux nvidia" (I boot with linux-ck)? I'm asking because there are often updates to linux package and I don't use it.

    The -ck kernels don't overwrite the kernel, and IDK about the AUR custom kernels, but it's possible to overwrite the stock kernel, especially if you're lazy about looking at the pkgbuild or your own script. I have before. It's not a big deal unless you're missing, you know, like, your disk and keyboard modules.
    If you are worried create backup copies of initramfs-linux.img, vmlinuz-linux, initramfs-linux-fallback.img in /boot, and a grub entry for them... it'll be like nothing changed!

  • Is it safe to remove multiple hostname.mboxlist.date directories

    Hi,
    I have several hostname.mboxlist.date directories besides mboxlist directory in server_root/msgconf/store directoryoccupying much space. Can anybuddy let me know is it safe to remove these directories ? As its my production server, so I can't take any risk of data/db corruption.
    Thanks in advance.

    I remember answering this for you before.
    How old are these? Recent?
    Messaging Server does snapshot your database, and you can set how often, and how many to keep.
    If you have OLD files, likely Messaging Server didn't create 'em.

  • Is it safe to remove Photoshop CS5 after installing CS6??

    Is it safe to remove Photoshop CS5 after installing CS6??

    It is safer to remove it before installing CS6.  There can be some shared elements and/or settings that might be compromised if you install CS6 while CS5 is installed and then remove CS5.
