Backlighting on the keyboard has suddenly stopped. Help?
I have a MacBook Pro (Retina 13", Core i5 2.8 ghz, OSX Yosemite 10.10). The backlighting on my keyboard suddenly stopped. I've tried re-booting and making changes in settings, but that has not fixed the problem. Anyone else run into this?
Having the same issue, would love to know if you were able to resolve it. I'm also not able to use Tab, Return, and F12 for some reason.

Return key on iMac Keyboard Has Suddenly Stopped Working
I'm using an iMac purchased in April 2007 and it is using the older white Apple keyboard (model A1048).
All of a sudden, after a shutdown and a startup, the Return key has stopped working (the Enter key on the keypad still works).
Nothing was spilled on it and no one has hit it too hard. I popped off the key to check if there was anything that could explain why it wasn't working. No dirt and the key depresses properly.
I also took the keyboard over to a Dell PC running WinXP and tested it there as well. Every key worked except for the Return key.
So, my question is, is there some serious hardware flaw that basically means that I need to get a new keyboard or is there some other explanation and method for correcting the issue?Having the same issue, would love to know if you were able to resolve it.

Hi, my ipad mini has suddenly stopped working and I cannot turn it off or connect it to the computer, can anyone help me on this??
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

My LR4 has suddenly stopped importing photos. Reinstalling the program didn't help. How do I correct this application error?
Does it not work either way? Sending and receiving? Did you check the settings and make sure that nothing has changed? If you can receive email, but not send it, check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional. -
Sound works fine on all programs, but has suddenly stopped on Apple Mail. No "submarine" sound when I send or receive email. I checked the settings in "Preferences" in Apple Mail and it is set to "submarine" as the sound. Any help?
deleted previously imported key chain originated from the previous system (why doesn't apple provide a migration for my key chain?). after the deletion mail can receive and send again and dreamweaver starts without hanging.

My Mac mini server has suddenly stopped seeing one or the other bluetooth devices, either the wireless keyboard or the mouse( both apple products) have tried new batteries, at first it was the mouse that stopped responding, but upon rebooting the computer now the keyboard will not respond and the mouse works. Both work fine on an older Mac mini that I hooked back up to check.
There is absolutely no reason why they should not bothe be able to connect to your WiFi network. The easiest place to start would be to reboot your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. I would also restart both the iPad and the iPhone.

My Mac Pro (2006) has suddenly stopped sending signal to the display monitor.
My Mac Pro (2006) has suddenly stopped sending signal to the display monitor. It coincided with plugging in an Epson printer via usb - while the system was running. Pretty dumb maybe? Could I have damaged the video card? Anyone ideas? Thanks
Howdy Le Batch,
I was looking into the issue you are seeing here, and came across a helpful article for this specific situation. It's named Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays and can be found here:
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
If more than one video adapter is in use—or "daisy-chained"—troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.

HT1976 iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped connecting to the internet away from home
My iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped connecting to the internet when away from home. It was fine last Wednesday, then on Thursday all I got was 'Safari is no longer connected to the internet'. I cannot use the Messaging, Find my Friends etc.
As far as I know I have not done anything to alter any settings, but I did change my password on Wednesday - which works, so I think that's OK.
Has anyone any idea what is happening?

I have several magazines save to My Documents. My husband bought me a tablet for these. I was emailing them through the Adobe Reader without difficulty to the tablet email. Some of them had carried over when I put the magazine app on the tablet but all that I purchased did not. Now Adobe has suddenly stopped sending them. Why? Please help. It says "Learn More" but only brings up a lot of Adobe services. HELP! PLEASE!
Hi,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems, but it's not clear that you are using the Adobe Send service. If you are, could you tell us about how you're using it and where it's failing for you? The more detail you can provide, the better. Thanks.
