Backlight won't stay on - Treo Pro

The backlight on my Treo Pro will not stay on, unless I hold down the middle Palm button with extreme ammounts of pressure. The backlight settings are set to work but it does not work. I need help I've tried everything including talking to the support chat, AND I have googled it and can not find it.

The screen dims, or the keyboard backlight goes off? Or both?
There is a little program you can install that lets you control the keyboard backlighting. It's called KeyLight, and you can find it here:

(I've used the version for the 800w, but I can't recall whether I've used the version for the Treo Pro.)

I have a issue with my mac book pro. For some reason it won't stay powered on. I can't get past the apple loading logo. The battery is fully charged so it is not the problem. Can anyone tell me what the problem may be and how can i get it resolved?

New Mac Pro won't stay asleep

Hi everyone. I took delivery of my new Mac Pro a few days ago. It's the highest spec model (12 core, 64gb memory, 2 x 6gb graphics and 1TB SSD). It's connected to two 30" screens and networked to a Windows storage server.
The problem I have is that it won't stay asleep. Basically after being asleep for a couple of minutes the screens suddenly come back on and the login window appears as though somebody has pressed a key. After a minute or so it goes back to sleep and then it wakes up again and continues in a cycle.
I have tried making sure all programs are closed and nothing is running at all but it still happens.
I just wonder if anyone else has had this issue or might know a solution?

Okay thanks for all the help guys, I've discovered what the problem is but not how to fix it.
I unplugged everything but the bare minimum and the computer stayed asleep just fine. I then plugged everything in one thing at a time and tested. The culprit was one of my screens! I have an NEC Spectraview Reference 301 screen. It worked just fine on my old Mac Pro but when this screen is powered up the new Mac Pro will not stay asleep for more than 1 minute. My other screen is an Apple Cinema display and this works just fine on its own.
The solution for now is that I have to remember to hit the power button on the NEC screen before I leave the computer. This is fine but I'd love to find out what's causing this issue so I don't have to remember every time! I'm thinking maybe the NEC has some built in power settings so I'm going to fiddle with them now. If anyone else has any further ideas I'd love to hear them!

My Macbook Pro suddenly won't stay connected to the internet.

My Macbook Pro recently has had problems staying connected to the Internet. Our other Macbook Pro is having the same problems. I have already spoken with with our ISP, AT&T. After trying several things, they said that it may have to do with Safari and that they couldn't suggest any settings changes to our browser because it might disqualify any warranties that we have on our Notebook if another company makes changes to it. I've spent hours and hours trying to resolve this and it's driving me nuts. Also my wireless HP Printer won't stay connected either. Not long ago AT&T sent us a new modem/router (all-in-one), that is why I called AT&T to see if it was the new modem. But come to think of it, I had called AT&T because of this connectivity issue and now I'm thinking that it wasn't them at all. Maybe it has to do with Apple. I'm a Apple lover, so please help!!!

Also my wireless HP Printer won't stay connected either.
Does that mean it won't stay connected to the network, or it's not reachable from your Mac? There's a difference.

Ok, in theory you cannot lock the hard drive, so, run Disk Utlities, First Aid, Repair Hard Drive again. It should come back with a message that all is OK. Then run Repair Permissions. That often returns a lot of messages that are not actually problems, just grumbling by the system.
Then try a normal restart by clicking the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart. If you restart normally all is fine.
If not, then restart on the recovery HD again and try an Install Mac OS X and see if that succeeds this time.

MacBook Pro won't stay asleep with external monitor attached. When sleep is selected from the Apple menu the computer will go to sleep only to continually wake up...go back to sleep...wake up...etc. every few seconds.

MacBook Pro won't stay asleep with external monitor attached. When sleep is selected from the Apple menu the computer will go to sleep only to continually wake up...go back to sleep...wake up...etc. every few seconds. This only happens when using the external monitor. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Mine does that too. The worst thing is when it goes to sleep, then wakes up and keeps running while the lid is closed and it is wrapped up in a case. I am afraid when the hot weather comes it is going to burn up. I am hoping Apple fixes it in the software or they may have a melted MBP to replace.
Then when I open the lid it is crashed running at fill tilt, pumping out heat to beat the band. I am forced to hold the button down and reboot.
I wiped my hard disk and reinstalled my OS, but it didn't help. I reversed my OS to 10.5.0 and it solved the DVI problem but still won't sleep. This post will probably be deleted by Apple, they did it a few days ago. I just don't know what to do, and I consider myself a real Apple expert. Just hoping you realize you are not the only one.

Palm treo pro t850 won't play youtube videos

im using my home wifi connection to go online with my treo pro. it loads everything perfectly except SOME youtube videos. and it only happens when i am running as a mobile device. when i run as a desktop device everything loads. any ideas to what could cause this?

Try Safari and Lion forums, then bookmark the actual MacBook Pro forum.
And maybe a url if you want it to be cecked. And try Chrome. Try Firefox. And make sure your plugins and extensiions work. Safari was updated and there were security updates. And only install from Adobe such as
http://getflash.com or www.adobe.com and downloads.

Bad Quality on Treo Pro!!!

Warn u, I just got Treo Pro a couple days ago, after fully charged and tried using it. There WAS no keyboard backlight at all!!!
I have been Palm user since Palm V, Treo 180,270,600,680, never got hardware problem (that's why I like Palm). But this time, it is very disappointing.
Even worse, after chat & calling support, taking so long time to solve and no so responsive and helpful.
Probably I was unlucky

The Treo Pro keyboard should have a backlight, if you are not seeing one you may want to get a replacement device if you have already tried troubleshooting the issue.

Washed out background image on Treo Pro

Hi:
When I set my background image on my today screen (check the box in settings, browse to image - use 320x320 resolution) I get a "washed out" version of the image regardless of its original color, tone or intensity. Images from the preinstalled themes are fine - vibrant and clear - but the user set images are very light (almost like a 50 percent transparency in Photoshop for example). I have tried both .jpg format and .png. Backlight settings do not cure this either.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi Again:
Upon further investigation, I have discovered that the options for setting background and transparency levels is found through the pictures and videos explorer not the file explorer.
As suggested I have set the transparency to 0 and the image (Crab Nebula through the Hubble space telescope) is as bright and vibrant as it should be.
Thanks again for the direction - it's much appreciated.

QuickGPS on Treo Pro - Updates?

Hi there
I am using QuickGPS provided with my Treo Pro for some time now, and was asking
if there was a newer version, than that one is preinstalled.
I couldnt find any on the web, just this here:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-tag-quickgps.html
But when i am installing this, it won't "update" the "old" version. It is just installing beneath the other installation.
Does someone now if there is a real programm update for QuickGPS? Something newer than my? (ver. 1, build 1815.2521)

Keyboard backlight won't turn on after spill.

Yeah so, me being a complete idiot, I was holding an open bottle of Snapple right next to me while laying down on my bed browsing stuff when I inevitably spill it everywhere. All over my sheets, clothes, and of course my keyboard. I immediately turned it upside down and drained the liquid, also rubbed the entire keyboard with a wet rag and some rubbing alcohol. All the liquid/stickiness is gone and the keys work perfectly fine, albeit the smell is still faintly there. But the real problem is now my backlight won't work. I noticed it flicker while cleaning it but thought it was nothing.
Any general way on how to fix this? And no, I'm not spending a thousand bucks and wait a month for some dudes to take the whole thing apart and wipe out my harddrive again for no reason.

OK, Wow.
Whenever a liquid spill occurs the first thing that has to happen is the laptop should be shut down immediately. All power must be removed as soon as possible. It is especially important that the battery be disconnected and removed.
All affected parts must be removed from the laptop. No attempt should be made to start/restart the computer since this could potentially damage the logic board beyond all repair.
Then all affected parts would be washed in deionized water and blown dry with compressed air. (In a water spill the deionized water is probably not as critical. Depends on the mineral content of the water.).
This is especially true of the large chips on the logic board. Liquid can wick under them and cause havoc for weeks if not months after the incident.
The logic board should be placed in a drying/dehumidifing oven for at least two days. Longer depending on the spill.
The keyboard is a separate matter as described below.
This is how these keyboards work:
This is the contactor array of a MacBook Pro 2011 13" . You're looking at it from back to front. Those round dots are where the silicone rubber "cones" cause the front array to make contact with the back array, telling the computer which key has been pushed. The width of these (I think deposited silver ) traces is about 0.5 mm.
Now you're only looking at the just the front array. You can see that the contact pads are connected in series. A break anywhere in the trace connecting them would cause the "downstream" keys to stop working.
So here you see a site where ionic corrosion occurred. I know that this particular MBP was exposed to water. So I bought it very cheaply. I was able to clean and completely dry out the logic board and the MBP worked fine for a while but quickly the Q - W - E - R -T - Y - P keys got wonky then completely stopped working. I bought a replacement keyboard for cheap but then found out that it's held to the front frame with around 80 tiny screws. So I was using it with a BlueTooth keyboard. Recently I bit the bullet and for $69 bought an entire top case for my machine. Putting it in meant that the everything had to come out of and off the top case.
So you can see from the amount of corrosion, it doesn't take much to cause a failure. In this case a drop of liquid less than 0.5 mm would, over time with ionic action, cause a failure. There was a post about someone who had their MBP in a leather case and when they opened it up there was a lot of moisture on it. It was winter where he lived and we figured it was condensation. So even without spills this could happen.
So since your problem was with a sugary drink the sugar will be hydroscopic, that is it will attract water out of the air and keep the contact area moist. This will lead to future failures be it on the logic board on on the keyboard membranes.
The backlight being part of that array you've been looking at. (Finally got to it.)

Mailboxes (accounts) in inbox won't stay sorted; always revert back.

Neither my iMac or MacBook Pro will retain the order of the mail accounts. I have about a dozen different mail accounts, and I can drag them to the order I want just fine, but later they are back to the original (non alphabetized) order. They won't stay in the order I place them. I am not talking about messages, but the accounts themselves:
MAILBOXES
+-Inbox
+---mac mail account
+---otheraccount
+---gmail account
+---server account
I can move "gmail account" to top, but it won't stay. It always reverts.
Any thoughts?

It seems that you likely have a corrupt mail preference.
Sometimes simply rewriting it can fix it.
Quit Mail.
In Finder Go>Home>Library>Preferences and hold down on the option key while dragging the com.apple.mail.plist to the desktop. This will make a copy of the settings.
Now drag the original preference list to the Trash and move the copy back in its place in the Preferences folder.
Restart Mail.
As to Signatures the Mail folder in the home Library holds that info.
Remove the files from the folder and start over with the Signatures.
If either of these issues persist then create a new user account on the computer and set up the settings in the new user account to see if the issue is across the system or user specific.
If it is system wide then it is either the Mail application or the system itself creating the issue.
If it is user specific then continue to completely set up Mail as you want in the new user and move the settings from the test user into the Shared folder.
Then log into the affected user and pull those setting from Shared into the user and put them in place in the Library.
Make sure Mail is not running when you put them in place.

IPod won't stay mounted to computer, can't load any content

I've reset it, tried to repair it with disk utility, and it still won't stay mounted. Can't put any content on it.
iPod classic 160 GB
Mid-2010 MacBook Pro running 10.8.5
iTunes 11.1

Koopie, the bad news is: that's not at all an uncommon problem with the iPod Touch. I have the same problem at work. We have no problems at all connecting to our Wi-Fi with Dell, Sony, HP, Asus, Palm or any other devices except two: my Touch and my boss's iPhone. Apple has the most finicky Wi-Fi known to man.
But enough ranting. The first thing you'll want to do is to check to be sure that your router's firmware is up-to-date. That may just solve your problem; it does in some cases. I've also found that turning the Touch's Wi-Fi off and on sometimes helps. You may have to do it four or five times to get a reconnect. You might also check your router's instructions to see if there is a way to reset it by going in through your web browser, which may be more convenient than pulling the plug.
