10.5.2 problems: Safari bookmarks and keyboard illumination

I have 10.5.2 bugs to report that I haven’t seen reported elsewhere yet: On my Intel Macbook Pro, since installing the 10.5.2 and graphics update, the illuminated keyboard has been permanently on regardless of ambient light, unless I switch it totally off in my system prefs. More importantly than that though, Safari hangs unrecoverably if I try to view my bookmarks.

I have the same keyboard illumination issue as well after upgrading from 105.1 to 10.5.2. While te F8-F10 keys function correctly turning on/off/dimming the lights. If I'm in a well lit environment, the keyboard lights up. If I put my hands over the speakers (where the light sensor is) the keyboard illumination dims. Definitely seems like the setting is backwards.

  • How to transfer SMS and Call History from Iphone 5 to Iphone 6 plus? Only the contacts, calendar, safari bookmarks and notes have synced.

    Hi! Please help. I have synced my IPhone 5 to Itunes. When I try to sync it to Iphone 6 plus, only the contacts, calendar, safari bookmarks and notes have synced to the latest date. The rest like SMS and Call History have only synced to June 2013.

    I upgraded from an iPhone 4S to iPhone 6 Plus, I don't like to run iTunes, and iCloud backup is not so reliable, I think. Then I searched on the Internet, and some articles told me that I can directly transfer data from Phone to iPhone with some tools.
    I doubt it first, then I gave a shot on one of them for the free trial. I follow the steps to transfer about 200 sms from my 4S to 6 Plus, and it works!
    Got this from here: http://www.cultofmac.com/296711/transfer-data-new-iphone-6-imazing/
    Hope this helps!

  • Safari bookmarks and syncing

    Hi, I've just been through all my Safari bookmarks and had a massive clear out, then I synced my iPhone and all my bookmarks are back in Safari (how annoying)!! How do I prevent this from happening again now that I have to go through all my Safari bookmarks again?
    Cheers

    Go to the Apple menu >> system preferences >> icloud.  Make sure you're logged in with the same apple ID as you are on the other two devices.  If you're already signed in, you can click on Account details to verify that.
    Then, make sure you have safari checked off in the icloud preferences.  If you already do, uncheck them for a minute or so.  Then recheck them.
    See if that helps.

  • How to find my Safari bookmarks and passwords without opening safari?

    Hi!
    I have a big big problem!
    I had a system crash-thought I could recover via TimeMachine and oops there was an error and it turned out impossible. I had a clean install but my problem is that I really needed my old data- I can get it all from Time Machine as I can browse it just like as if I actually had the old system.
    I copied the folder "default" from adium into the newly installed adium and there were all my contacts login details etc...
    But I have no idea where to find my Safari bookmarks. I really need them. I also have trouble recalling some of my passwords which were remembered by Safari. Please tell me which files should I replace from the old system into the new system in order to retrieve my bookmarks. Thanks in advance for any help:)

    That doesn't help.
    why? Have you tried it? what happens?
    Where should I look?
    I need those bookmarks...
    Copy the directory /Users/username/Library/Safari from the old disk to the corresponding location on the new one. The file with bookmarks is bookmarks.html from that directory.
    However, I think Safari passwords are stored in the keychain. That would be in the directory
    /Users/username/Library/Keychains

  • Problem with rotation and keyboard click sound

    Ok, there's still a problem with the rotation and keyboard click sound and I thought I had the problem fixed.
    It's a serious bug when you want the keyboard click sound enbabled without having the rotation locked. I noticed this bug started when I had the previous iosinstalled 7.0.6.
    Everytime I wanted to enable the keyboard click sound, I have to always go to settings and have lock rotation checked. And it would stay locked.
    If I wanted to rotate my iPad, I have to have mute enabled, but no keyboard click sound.
    I know it sounds confusing. I'm already confused... beh.

    I completely forgot about that.
    Thank you!

  • Sync Safari / Bookmarks and now there are gone!!  HELP!!vious settings?  Wh

    i synced Safari / Bookmarks for the first time yesterday and now all my bookmark folders are gone.
    Can I restore to the pre

    Hi S Crawford,
    I'm afraid it's likely that they're gone for good. To double check, go to http://bookmarks.mac.com and login to see if your bookmarks have synched to there.
    If they are present there, check your sync settings in the System Preferences -> .Mac area to see if you can synch them back to the computer.
    If they're not present there then they're gone...
    If you want to backup the bookmarks manually in future, copy this file to a safe location:
    Hard drive -> Users -> Your username -> Library -> Safari -> Bookmarks.plist

  • Deleted Safari Bookmarks and have no backup

    I got a new phone and have been cleaning up my old phone and I deleted my bookmarks in safari.  However I did not shut off the wifi capabilities on my phone first.  The following day I open up my mac and go into safari to look at a few book marked items.  Much to my surprise my safari bookmarks on my Mac are now all gone.  All the questions and articles talk about Time Machine but unfortunately I do not have it set up.   Is there anything I can do to get those bookmarks back?

  • Safari bookmarks and iCloud

    Hello!
    I have 2 user accounts on my MacBook and 1 iCloud account set up.
    Safari bookmarks sync well with my iPad through iCloud.
    Safari bookmarks appear under both of the accounts on my MacBook, which I do not want. I want them to appear only under only one of my accounts on the MacBook.
    How do I do this?
    Thank you.

    There's really nothing you can do now.  The big mistake was not defining a passcode for the device, hence the thief has access to all data.  he should not have access to icloud, since you changed the password for the icloud ID.
    If you decide to define a new icloud account (a new ID, but keep the old ID for itunes store account, otherwise you lose your apps and music purchased using the old ID), be sure to first go into the current account and delete all data.

  • Sound and Keyboard Illumination Keys Not Working!!!

    This is very strange...
    I just spent a few days in the hospital. Fortunately, one of the amenities provided was free Wi-Fi. As it turned out, many people took turns using my Powerbook while I wasn't using it myself.
    Most of the people that were there visiting, are not Mac-savvy, and when I got my Powerbook back, I discovered a strange surprise.
    I have no sound. But it goes further than that, because the sound keys have been completely disabled! So have the keyboard illumination keys!
    The icon is grayed out, and there is a circle, with a slash through it, beneath.
    Here's a pic:
    http://homepage.mac.com/theconfuzed1/.Pictures/misc/no_sound.png
    I can't for the life of me, figure out how to fix this!
    I am running 10.5.2 on a Powerbook G$

    Hi,
    Try this:
    The little 'do not enter' symbol you see means that is turned off...
    For sound, the F3 key toggles the sound on and off (but does not adjust the volume). If the sound is on, the F4 key turns the volume down, and the F5 key turns the volume up. But with this, the F3 has to be touched to be on, and that symbol will disappear... then use the F5 key (you have to keep tapping it for it to move the volume. Only tap the F3 key once to turn it on, and once to turn it off.
    The keyboard is much the same way. The F8 key turns it on or off, while the F9 lowers the intensity and the F10 raises the intensity. Again, one tap on the F8 for on and another for off... with multiple taps on the F9 and F10 to decrease or increase illumination.
    That same screen you saw, should be seen but with hash-marks either grey (off) or white (on)... for both. While the sound has the arching sound waves from the horn if it is on, not when it's off. The keyboard has the curved hash marks around the top.
    You do have it, if that screen shows... it's just to keep tapping the F5 and the F10 to increase both so you can see/hear the effects.
    Enjoy

  • Lost Safari bookmarks and dock changed after shutting down

    I shut down my computer at work while I was on vacation 2/5-14. When I turned it back on this morning, the dock was in a different place and was missing all the "keep in dock" icons I had added although the desktop clutter was still there.
    When I went on Safari, the homepage was the default one and not the one I had selected. None of the bookmarks that I had been adding over 3 years was there either. No one used my computer and all I did was shut down on 2/2. The user is still highlighted as me. Can anyone shine a light on what happened and how to get my original settings back?
    Thank you!

    Hi and welcome.....
    and all my applications were running so slow
    Check the hard disk for free space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    If there's enough free disk space, launch Disk Utility. It's in your Applications/Utilities folder. Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left then select the FirstAid tab.
    Click: *Verify Disk* (not Verify Disk Permissions). If Disk Utility reports problems, follow the instructions at this link so you can repair the startup disk. You will need your install disc.

    Me again. I did discuss my problem with my son and let him read your reply. One thing he
    reminded me of, was the fact this iMAC G 5 gets "hot" if a video is running. Grandson was
    playing one on Fri from the internet called "StarFall". I did not notice the temp when I shut
    down the computer, nor did I notice what was on the screen. This disaster with the bookmarks
    could be a problem I created. Just a thought.
    I purchased this G 5 in 05 and about a year later this computer started overheating. No one on
    discussions could help. I wrote Apple in WA and believe it or not received a reply. I thought
    we would get it repaired from what I was told. I carried it to an authorized Apple store and
    it would never "act up" with them. It still over heats and I have to watch the temp and stop
    working when it reaches 85 C or it will go so slow and eventuating stop. I just put up with it
    for now.
    85 C is pretty hot, but shouldn't be enough to damage it, unless it's there consistently. And of course it should shut itself down when it gets too hot (I'm not sure just how hot that is, though). Do the fans run fast when it gets hot? They should be pretty loud at full speed.
    What are you using to monitor the temps? You might want to look at the +Hardware Monitor+ app from: http://www.bresink.com/osx/HardwareMonitor.html
    It keeps 7 days of history, of temps, fan speeds, etc., and has alarms you can set, too, among other things. It's not free, but at 7 euros, not real expensive, either.
    If it shows, for example, the CPU temp rising but the CPU fan not speeding-up, that would be something you could show Apple so they could figure out exactly what's wrong.
    I have a similar model, and have had some trouble with it (which Apple has fixed at no charge), but never an overheating problem like you seem to.
    I assume you occasionally vacuum the vents under the screen?

  • Problem with becomeFirstResponder and keyboard

    Hi all,
    I wonder why on its first call, my (modal) view controller works fine and the UITextField receives the 'becomeFirstResponder' message, has focus (i.e. the call does work!) but keyboard is not shown!!
    Has anyone experienced this?
    In subsequent calls when this view controller is showed, text field shows keyboard.
    Rodrigo

    I just ran into this problem in my new app. I have a view I display as a modal view. This view contains a single text field that I attempt to make the first responder.
    If the modal view is displayed with animation the keyboard displays properly when 'becomeFirstResponder' is called on the text field. But, if the modal view is displayed without animation, the keyboard does NOT appear. No user interaction can make the keyboard appear.
    Luckily I found a simple solution. I don't call 'becomeFirstResponder' in the 'viewDidLoad' method anymore. Instead I have the following code for 'viewDidAppear':
    - (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    if (!animated) {
    [txtField resignFirstResponder];
    [txtField becomeFirstResponder];
    This makes the keyboard show as expected whether the modal view was displayed with or without animation.
    What's really weird is that in either case the 'viewDidAppear' method is getting called twice each time it appears. Why not once?

  • Problem with google and keyboard

    Hi everybody. I am new to the forum and to the ipad. I have an iPad 2 and I am wondering if this is a problem. When I bring up google it comes up fine but when I tap on the box to enter text, the keyboard comes up and then imediately retracts. Is anybody having this problem.
    Thanks

  • Problem with trackpad and keyboard on Macbook Pro

    Hello,
    I have a Macbook Pro Early '09 (I got it about 1 month ago used) and yesterday a problem occurred. Suddenly, as I was typing a message, the keyboard stopped responding and the trackpad started acting up. Whenever I tapped with 1 finger, it would mark the text or would show the right-click options ("Copy, Cut, Paste" etc on text or "New Folder" etc on desktop).
    I restarted it thinking that it would probably solve the problem, but then I couldn't even log in, because not all keys were working, so I couldn't enter the password. Pressing "O" seemed to work -not always though-, but other keys didn't. I logged in as guest user, since no password is required for that, and tried typing a URL on Google Chrome, just to see what happens. there I noticed that sometimes the F letter key would work as right arrow and A as left.
    I should finally note that certain applications would not open lately (for the past weeks) and would "quit unexpectedly" (HDRtist and Inkscape, to be specific). 
    So, maybe it needs a Disk Utility Repair? Is it possible that this would solve both problems? But how do i do that if I can't log in as admin?
    It would be better to find a way to solve this on my own without having to pay for the repair.
    Any ideas?
    I know it's a common problem and that it's been posted many times, but most answers on other discussions have confused me so far.
    I've read about the tape under the battery thing, but I'd prefer a different solution if anyone can offer one.
    Thank you in advance. I appreciate it.

    I have read of people saying Resetting SMC fixes stuck touchpad drag problems. In order to do this you must typically remove the battery.  I think it was the act of battery removal that fixed it and not the act of clearing SMC memory.
    If your Macbook battery is removable and is located directly under your touchpad a bloated swollen battery could be the problem. 
    Try this:
    Remove battery
    Connect to magsafe power and boot up. 
    Try using your touchpad
    If this fixes the problem you likely have a swollen or bloated lithium battery.  My symptoms on my 15" late 2008 Macbook Pro were that the touchpad acted like it was stuck in drag mode.  The bottom left and right touchpad switches would not click or took great effort to press. I had to hit the touchpad very hard for a mouse click to be recognized.  It also screwed up opration of my bluetooth mouse. I noticed several months earlier the battery cover no longer closed tightly; there was a gap.   I should have been more curious as to why.

    "Battery bloat or “swollen batteries” is a common occurrence among older lithium ion batteries. It is commonly caused by overcharging a battery and then leaving it unused for a long time. It may also be caused by extreme changes in temperature. More often than not, battery bloat essentially “kills” the battery, rendering it unusable or unsafe for further use."
