Backlighting doesn't light off...

Hey everybody!!
I Have late 2008 Macbook Pro, and installed Windows with bootcamp. Everything goes fine under Leopard, but when I am on Vista, the backlighting doesn't light off, even when I turn the button on its minima. Does anyone have a clue about this?
Thanks for your answers.

Until Apple releases a corrected driver, the best solution is to tilt your screen back slightly. The light sensor on the new MacBook Pros has been placed near the iSight camera. Pushing your screen back slightly will allow it to pick up more light, which will turn the keyboard lighting off.
The new MacBook Pros are overdue for a Boot Camp update. Stay tuned.

Anyone know why my iphone 4S backlight is not turning off. Started when I upgraded to IOS 7.3. Its keeps draining the battery and I am constantly recharging it

Displays backlight doesn't turn off completely!?

When I fade off the backlight of the display there is a spot in the center where i still can see what is displayed, the rest is dark. It seems also that this spot grew in the last time a bit.In the dark this spot is clearly more light than the rest of the display. its about the size of a golf ball.
Anyone who has the same "problem"? Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help!

Are you sure it is not just a result of room light bleeding in through the back of the case where the Apple logo is? With the MacBook turned off or sleeping, look at the dark screen while holding the MacBook up to a window. You will see that outside light from the window shines through the Apple logo and the screen. Could that be what you are seeing?

Screen not blanking properly (Backlight doesn't turn off)

I've been facing a weird problem lately. Whenever I leave my laptop on for a while when I'm logged on in X (I use KDE), the screen turns off after 10 minutes. All well and good. But whenever the laptop idle when logged on to a virtual console, after 15 minuites of idling, the display blanks, but the backlight stays on. The display becomes a wall of white. Is there any way to make the backlight switch off as well along with the screen blanking? I'm not using pm-utils or acpid to manage power on the virtual console right now. I'm using the logind.conf defaults.

For future reference, don't assume that people will see your signature. Not only do most people disregard signatures, but there is the ability to turn off the signatures in your user settings.

Ipod backlight doesn't turn off even though i hold the menu for 3 seconds

PLEAASER HELP

You need to get to the iPod menu and locate the "Settings". Select this and find & select "Backlight Timer", scroll & select "2" or "5 seconds".
If you want to shut down the ipod, hold the play/ pause button until the ipod shuts off, (usually a few seconds).

Zen Xtra Backlight doesn't turn off, OS free

A problem started today where my 40gb Zen Xtra can no longer get past the EAX screen, and stays lit the entire time. I'm unable to turn it off except by removing the battery, and as soon as I put the battery back in, it automatically turns back on and freezes again. I reset, then I went to recovery mode and cleaned up the OS, but the same problem persists.
I notice that at some point from the time the player turns on to the time it freezes, I feel my hard dri've stop vibrating, and I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks!

my zen xtra has done the same thing. it wont turn off. it wont go any further. i have gone to the rescue mode and tried all the options except reloading the os because i am afriad then i wont even have a os since it wont connect to my computer thru USB either. this is the second time i have had a major problem with it. the first time it completely failed on me and went to rescue mode everytime i turned it on. i eventually had to get a rma for it because the hard dri've had failed completely. will i need to do that again cause i have looked at every piece of advice available and nothing has helped.

I recently got a used macbook pro, and the backlight on the keyboard doesn't light up all the way, I was wondering how much it would cost to get it fixed..

MacBook pro keyboard doesn't light up all the way, I don't know why and I was wondering how much it could cost for repairs.

If there is Warranty or AppleCare it will be covered at Apple Store. If no coverage, Apple does not repair iPhone 4 Power/Lock Button, for $149 they will give you a perfect replacement iPhone 4 exactly like yours with a 90 day Warranty. For the time being or as a permanent solution you can use perfect Virtual Lock Button. Tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap the new small white screen button > Device > Lock. You can even use this button to turn the iPhone OFF. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, ie charger or USB port of computer.

Apple Wireless Keyboard Caps Lock light doesn't turn off

Hello
Recently the caps lock button light doesn't turn off on my apple wireless keyboard. Anybody know how to turn it off. Every time i press a key, the light dims a little, but when not pressed, its fully on. I tried resetting it, taking the batteries off, unpairing it. But nothing =(
hmmm

This doesn't turn off your light, but you should check out CapSee on Apple's downloads page. (www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/capsee.html) It puts a notification pane (or bezel) on the screen letting you know when you turn caps lock on and off. Looks just like the volume and brightness bezels. Very slick, and it's free.

Mac air keyboard doesn't light up for login

After Yosemite install, the keyboard on my Mac Air does not light up until after I login.

Pushkin,
I found that if I turn on FileVault my keyboard backlight doesn't come on at initial Login screen from boot. Nor can I adjust the brightness of my screen or keyboard backlit. The moment I turn off FileVault I can then adjust those things and everything works fine.
I say initial because if I log out of my user and am taken to the login screen I can adjust both keyboard and screen backlights.
You can see if you have FileVault turned on by going to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> FileVault (Tab)
Also I think that its important that we let Apple know this is going on. If you feel up to it I would send them feedback. I mean if you would like to that is. https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Hope that helps,
Weston

Macbook 13" Backlight Turns On and Off when Screen Moves

I've started having an annoying problem with my Macbook. Sometimes when I open the lid, the backlight won't come on. If I move the lid around for a while, the backlight sometimes comes on, but if I make any sudden movements with the laptop, the backlight will go back off. It's getting to a point where I might have to fidget with the lid for a good 10 minutes before the screen comes back on and I can't deal with it anymore. I know the screen is still working because if I put it under light, I can sort of see what's supposed to be there.
It seems likely that the problem is a loose cable somewhere, but I took the screen apart and couldn't see anything glaringly wrong. The laptop is out of warranty and I have a significant amount of experience with PC repairs, so I plan on fixing this myself. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? I keep reading that most times people have problems with the backlight, it's because the inverter has gone bad. However, the fact that the problem is caused and resolved by moving the screen around makes me doubt that the inverter is the issue here.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks, guys!

FIrst, did you do a power reset? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
Second, are you running Boot Camp or Apple OS X when you put the machine to sleep?
Third -- do you have Bluetooth turned off? (It's a known problem if you have other Bluetooth devices on that are searching for Bluetooth devices -- like leaving your iPhone near your MBP and both have Bluetooth enabled...
Your not leaving an iPhone plugged into the USB port are you? Unplug it and use a wall charger.
What else is on your network that might cause it to keep turning on? Do you use anything within the house that searches for a network signal throughout the day? -- Slingbox, for example?

Two problems with my iPhone: screen doesn't light up at notifications & iPhone says updated apps still need to be updated

Alright, I'm having two annoying problems with my iPhone. It's an iPhone 4.
I'm using the latest iOS.
The first problem is that when I get a notification (a mail, text message, whatever), I hear the sound that it makes, but the screen doesn't light up. Then, when I click the home or the turn-on / off button (basically when I'm in the lock menu), it doesn't show the notification either. Yet, in the notification settings, I've set up to show them. For example mails. I just received a few mails. For mail, I've selected the banner in the notification center. But I see no banner. I see nothing in fact. I can unlock my phone and go in mail, and see the mail there.
What could be the reason for this? I've recently done some changes on it, I mean, not exactly on the iPhone, but in iTunes. I removed all photos from my iPhone (over 3000) and all songs that were on it. I decided to sync only the latest 3 months of photos and 3 months of music. I don't think it's related but it's the last thing I've done with it, and since then this has been happening, so I thought I'd mention it.
My second problem is that, while I was updating my music and photo library on my iPhone, I also synced all app updates. I have around 6 or 7 of them, lurking there for a while, and I never got the time to download them in iTunes and sync them with my iPhone. So that's what I did as well. Strangely enough, when I visit the App Store app, under Updates, it still tells me I have 5 apps to update. I remember one I updated on the iPhone itself.
They're all listed there with the little bar that shows up when it's loading, except it isn't loading. It's just stuck there, at the very beginning. No, not even at the beginning, because the blue little bar that moves forward isn't even present.The also show up this way on my iPhone "desktop" (Home), and it says "Waiting..." below them.
I've tried syncing again, and also restarting the iPhone, but it didn't help. Anyone know what's wrong here?
I appreciate all help. Cheers guys

Nobody? The second problem is solved! But my phone still doesn't light up or shows a banner or anything when for example a mail arrives?

Since updating my 4s to ios7, my backlight won't go off. Help!

I updated my phone to the iOS 7, and since then the backlight will not turn off unless I manually turn the phone off (button at top). I have tried resetting everything, turning it off and on, and restoring it. Nothing has worked. Help please!!!!

I just bought an iPhone 5, was an android user for about a year and got so used to an app called NoLED which lights up your screen at notifications, obviously had an affect on the battery life. I just thought this should be an option the user should have on the iPhone also. Funny that everybody sees this as a problem cause I'd rather have it. Guess will get used to checking the phone every 5 mins. if I miss a notification. Am I the only one who'd want the notification screen to last more than 10 seconds?

What should i do if my ipod doesn't light up after pressing the main button on the front?

What should i do if my ipod touch doesn't light up after pressing the main button on the front of the screen?
and also what should i do if i am unable to connect my ipod too the internet over wi-fi?

Perhaps your iPod is turned Off? Try pressing the On/Off switch on the top side until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

Powercord doesn't light green after a water spill, but does charge

A couple weeks ago water got spilt on my beloved PowerBook. The first thing I did was unplug it — the powercord from it, and the extension cord from the wall.
The PB is back running after needing only a new keyboard, but the powercord seems off to me. It does charge the battery and lights up orange, but once done it doesn't light up green, it simply goes off. Also, the computer will run off the cord.
So, is this anything to worry over, or has the green light just died or something?

If your phone wont power up then you could try the proper hard reset which is to .press and hold the Call+END+Camera keys and turn the phione on using the power button, holdung the 3 keys until you see the handshake. This should return the phone to its out of the box state and you will lose all your data unless you have a previous backup.
