Can the backlit keyboard be turned on/off?

Thinking about selling the Black Book for a new 2.4 Al Macbook. That is the only question I would like to know the answer to, can the keyboard be turned on/off?
Thanks
Steve

It can also be disabled in the Keyboard & Mouse System Preference.

  • HT4914 I often record songs at a particular tempo, iTunes Match will then match it and send it back to me at the original tempo, is there anyway I can stop some songs from being matched. At the moment I have turned match off. But I would like to sync play

    How old was this backup? It sounds like it was at least several weeks old.
    You can look directly in the TM backup for the music.
    1. Connect to the external HDD the backup is kept on.
    2. Open a Finder window and select the backup drive in the left hand panel. Double click into the folders until you see a list of folders with dates.
    These are the incremental backups. You can start at the top or the bottom of the list but I suggest you double Latest/<HDD Name>/Users/<Account Name>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music. From this location you can start looking for the "missing" music. When/if you find it you can simply drag-n-drop to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music on the internal HDD.
    If the music is actually not in the backups (for whatever reason) then you've got a problem.
    You can download the uploaded files from the cloud by deleting the affected tracks from the iTunes library (but not the cloud!), highlighting multiple tracks at once, right-clicking and choosing "download."

  • My iPhone 3Gs has frozen and I can't do anything except turn it off by hard boot. When I plug it in, I have the apple icon and that is all. It was at 43 percent battery life when it happened and my Twitter app was giving me problems. Thoughts?

    Put it in recovery mode and restore it as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

  • My iPad no longer recognizes my Zagg keyboard.  Turned it off and on several times.  One suggestion in manual is a dead battery.  Where is a battery on a Zagg case?  The iPad battery is fully charged.

    My iPad 4 no longer recognizes my Zagg keyboard.  Turned it off and on several times.  One suggestion in manual is a dead battery.  Where is a battery on a Zagg case?  The iPad battery is fully charged and Bluetooth is on and the Zaggkeys PROfolio is listed but says NOT CONNECTED.  What else should I try?

    Well, you shoud tap the line where it says not connected, and it should prompt you to enter something.  Regarding Zagg products, http://www.zagg.com/keyboard-cases/index.php?gclid=CIPgv7O_oL0CFQ8OOgodvnoA1w&ef _id=Uo5AsQAABFW6AX3n:20140320063435:s

  • I did a factory reset on my late 2008 MacBook from a Snow Leopard disc. It installed fine, but as soon as I began to use the computer (safari) it froze. Couldn't even force quit. So I held down the power button to turn it off, and now it won't start up.

    I did a factory reset on my late 2008 MacBook from a Snow Leopard disc. It installed fine, but as soon as I began to use the computer (safari) it froze. Couldn't even force quit. So I held down the power button to turn it off, and now it won't start up. It goes to the grey Apple screen and just sits there loud as can be. Help! Please keep in mind I've not done anything like this before and am going to need a little hand-holding. Thanks in advance.

    Hi. Don't worry it's nothing serious. Insert the Instal Disc (Snow Leopard) and press the C button while turning on the computer. Once you see the desktop, go to Utility and choose Disk Utility. Select the Macintosh Partition on the left window pane and then click on Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions on the bottom right corner. Wait for both processes to finish. Click on the Apple icon (top left corner) and choose quit. Your computer should restart. See if it reboots normally. If not you can always reinstall the OS following the same steps. Good luck!

  • I need some help, somebody has turned the restrictions on on my daughters  iPad mini and we don't know the pass code to turn it off.  She has lost the iTunes icon because of this.  Anybody know what to do?  Thanks

    Help, somebody has turned the restrictions on on my daughters iPad mini and we don't know the pass code to turn it off. She can't use iTunes because of them being turned on.  I have tried backing it up to a laptop and then restoring it to factory settings but you need the pass code to do this....any ideas how I can turn it off or reset it, anything that might help its driving me potty...
    Many thanks

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

  • [Mac mini] Display getting dark and get back to normal, If there is an idle mode, where can I adjust it or turn if off?

    MAC MINI (Mid 2011)
    OSX Yosemite 10.10.2 / OSX Mavericks 10.9.5
    While I were using mac mini for a while, the external display (LG_22MP55) has been getting dark and getting back to normal.
    Did it enter into idle mode?
    Anywhere I can find, can't find the related options to turn it off or adjust it.
    Even adjusting "Never" for both "computer sleep" and "display sleep" can happen this annoying situation.
    Beside, I have tried to connect iphone5S to external display (LG_22MP55) and double check LD will not enter into idle mode itself.
    So, I guess this situation was happened by MAC mini.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • I have a mid-2011 iMac running Mavericks. When I click restart the computer goes to a white screen with a spinning circle and does not go any further until I hold down the power button to turn it off. What do I do?

    Ok, sounds like the safe mode boot worked... You probably don't want to always be in safe mode though (some reduced functionality) so does it do a normal boot now? If not, you should then reboot into safe mode and run Disk Utility. Then select Macintosh HD on the left hand side, and click the Verify Disk button. If needed, it will ask you to Repair Disk. If there are errors found, Repair Disk again until there are none. Then try another normal boot and reply with result, wether good or bad.

    Hi John. Thanks for that input. At Step 6, after clicking "Next" I get a window telling me my OS version is unsupported and the installation may not complete. I am prompted to go to Canon's web site to "Check Latest Info".
    I've had this window on previous attempts and from Canon's web site I downloaded two drivers as follows
    - ICA Driver V4.0.0
    - Canon IJ Network Tool V4.5.0
    I'm not sure if these are the correct / complete drivers I need for this install or not.
    I continue to follow all the steps. At step 9 I click "Wireless Set Up using USB" amd get a License Agreement (a little different than instructions)
    I click "Agree" and it goes to a Setup window with two progress bars showing the installation. I've not been prompted to connect the USB?
    After the Setup window is done, I am then prompted to connect the printer via USB. I connect the printer and click on "Redetect". It is not detected.
    I then try following the Canon on screen instructions for connecting to the wireless LAN amd enter the password. It searches and indicates "Connecting" on the window, but it never connects and the blue light just blinks
    So, at this point I am stuck??
    Thanks

  • How do I enable the backlit keyboard on my mid 2010 13" MBP?

    How do I enable the backlit keyboard on my mid 2010 13" MBP? running Windows 8.1? I DO have the latest Apple Support Files downloaded and installed. Everything works except for the illumination of the keyboard and the brightness controls. OS X version is Mavericks.

    windows8.1 dont have official support so if it works with win8 then likely it will again when official support for win8.1 comes

    Please try temporary connecting your printer to some other power socket, without using any power extention or hub.
    If the same issue persists, contact the local HP Support center, as it seems like and hardware or Power Supply problem.

  • My backlit keyboard will not go off automaticaly i have the box checked but it still doesn't turn on and off. i am having to do it using the f5 and f6 keys. anyone know how to make it work automatically in low light?

    i am having a problem with my back lit keyboard on my 13in mac book pro. i have the box checked in the keyboard setting for auto so the keyboard should turn on and off in low light conditions but it doesnt. anyone know how i can getit to work properly?

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.
