Approx 5 month old apple 11" Macbook air and now the down arrow is not working!

Hi everyone,
I have a 5 month old Macbook Ait 11".
Recently, the "down" arrow on the key pad no longer works.
I am completing my PhD and am working with a lot of data - so this isn't working for me!
Can anyone make any suggestions?
I simply can not be without my laptop for weeks while Apple fix it.
I would appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks :-)

If you are winthin range of an Apple store or Apple Approved Service Provider, then I would suggest you take it in to be looked at. They will be able to give you an indication of how long a repair would take - typically not weeks, but unless they were prepared to swap it there and then, which is unlikely, you would have to be prepared to be without it for at least a few days.
You can, of course, delay having it repaired until you reach a more convenient point to be without it, simply by plugging in a USB keyboard.

    I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?

    The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

    Sometimes you have to reset the SMC two or three times for it to work, don't know why. I've seen that error message before and 100% of the time it was fixed with an SMC reset. I suppose it's possible that your keyboard or mouse IS drawing too much power, do you have access to another you could try?

  • Transfer account from old MBP to new one and now my account password does not work.

    I trasferred my account from one MPB to a new one using targeted disk method.  I left my desk while it finished and came back to a registration page.  I registered and the system rebooted.  Now I see my login details but the password form my old Mac fails.  The hint it gives me also seems to be bogus becaues I've tried many variations of the hint and they also do not work. 
    I'm submitting this from my original MBP and had not problem using my old password logging in to it.  Why didn't my password transfer properly and now how do I fix my new MBP?
    I made sure duing the transfer process to select everything for transfer -- accounts, applications, etc.  All check boxes were checked.

    Welcome to Discussions
    It would be helpful if you could review or outline the steps you have used so far. "Having Problems resetting" is not very informative. Are you still using 10.8.5?

  • Updated osx and flash storage for macbook air and now i can't start up

    I updated my macbook air, and now when it restarts I get a circle with a line through it, then the apple, then the screen turns blue, and then it takes me right to the disk utility.  It wont boot my desktop.  Help!

    You say you updated the flash storage.  I'm guessing you just recently had it replaced by an Authorized Apple Service Center, perhaps as part of the replacement program.
    If that's true, take it back to the Authorized Apple Service Center and have them fix it so the new flash drive boots for you.  They should have done that originally.

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

    I just downloaded Adobe XI onto my macbook air and now I cannot save or print any PDF files. Will not let me do Print-Save as PDF, and if i do Save as i get a message saying that the file is corrupted. I had NO PROBLEMS at all doing this many times until i downloaded the new version. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, to no avail. I am super frustrated.
    Print>Save as PDF - uses Preview (part of OS X), so Adobe Reader should have no effect on that at all.
    As to the "damaged file" error, simply uninstalling the Reader app won't affect it. Do the following:
    Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
    Mac HD/Applications
    Trash the Adobe Reader app
    [user]/Library/Preferences
    Trash the com.adobe.Reader.plist file
    To access the [user]/Library, hold the "Option" key and click "Go" from the FInder menu.
    Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Trash the Reader folder (the whole folder)
    Empty the Trash.
    Download the FULL installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    Quit your browser and reinstall Reader.
    Launch it from the Applications folder and accept the license agreement.
    You should have no problems downloading PDFs with Safari.
    Unfortunately, ANY PDF that says it's damaged.... is. You'll have to trash them.

  • I just upgraded my operating system on my MacBook Air and now my laptop won't detect my Toshiba 1T external hard drive

    I just upgraded my operating system on my MacBook Air and now my laptop won't detect my Toshiba 1T external hard drive, how to solve this problem?

    Try some of the troubleshooting steps outlined below:
    Troubleshooting an external hard drive
    > Unplug the hard drive, wait a few seconds, and then plug it back in
    > Restart the computer
    > Unplug any other peripherals from the computer
    > Plug it into a different USB port
    If none of those steps work, see if it is recognized in Disk Utility.
    Checking a disk with Disk Utility
    To check a disk using Disk Utility, launch the Disk Utility application in any of the following ways:
    > Type the first few letters of its name into Spotlight. Select it from the results.
    > Go Launchpad > Utilities > Disk Utility
    > Go Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
    Once Disk Utility is opened, check to see if your external HD appears on the sidebar. If it doesn't appear at first, try the troubleshooting steps above again while leaving Disk Utility open, each time checking to see if the external HD appears.
