Certain hardware on Black Macbook isn't working?

I'm having a problem with my Black Macbook it's running on Snow Leopard. That laptop is being bootccamp & it's running on Windows 7 too. Currently i'm facing a problem with the Keyboard, Sound, Bluetooth & trackpad. All of the mentioned above isn't working help???

Does it work for changing screen brightness (F1, F2)?  If not then go System Preferences ⇾ Keyboard ⇾ Keyboard and ensure that 'Use F1, F2 etc as function keys' is turned off, i.e. unticked.

  • Black Macbook fan not working

    Have a 13.3 2.0 GhzBlack Macbook with 2 Gb Ram.
    Fan stopped working, (I can see its not running on istat nano). The computer gets very hot, specially when working with video. It shuts down automatically.
    Bought a new fan online and replaced it myself with Ifixit instructions. Still not working.
    Any ideas

    could be a number of things.
    Are you certain that you plugged the fan in to the motherboard correctly? Could one of the wires have been damaged during the installation? Of course the replacement fan could also be faulty, or the logicboard could have a problem. I'd start by rechecking your installation, or get hold of another fan. You really don't have many options beyond that.

  • Black Macbook 13", New Keyboard?

    Hello,
    Where can I get a new top cover (I need to replace the keyboard) for my 13" Black Macbook?
    Is it possible to fit a white Macbook keyboard? I'd assume so, but am worried there might be some cunning differences to prevent my doing so...

    I cannot be certain if there are enough differences between the white and black Macbook keyboards for it not to work, but I recently replaced my white Macbook's keyboard/topcase from a version 1 keyboard (old style with open apple symbol on command key) accidentally to a version 2 keyboard (no open apple symbol and function keys rearranged). The eBay seller was told to send me a version 1 keyboard but sent me a version 2 anyway and it works quite well even though the new keyboard is supposedly from a 2008 Macbook as opposed to my mid 2007 Macbook. Perhaps its more to do with the OS recognizing the hardware than whether the hardware is compatible with the logic board if that makes any sense. I have a feeling pretty much any white/black Macbook keyboard will work with any white/black Macbook...but that's only a hunch.
    As for where to get one...eBay sellers list them daily for a range of prices. Mine was used but in great condition for $30 and free shipping, but some sell new ones for maybe $20 more. Just gotta look around.

  • My iCloud mail isn't working today.

    My iCloud mail isn't working today.

    iCloud on my home MacBook isn't working today or yesterday - May 8/9, 2012 (no send/receive), but it is working on my MacBook in my office.  The settings are the same but the results are 180 degrees from each other.  Does Apple ever monitor the discussions and chime in with fixes?  I've never seen it.  If not for the highly skilled, knowledgeable, and tech savvy folks outside of Apple, there's nowhere to turn for help except going directly to Apple(care), but there's no AppleCare available for iCloud.

  • For the second time (I've been to the Genius Bar once already) my WiFi isn't working on my iPhone 4S. This is really infuriating and costly!!! I see others have the same issues.  Can't Apple do anything about this?  It's obviously a hardware problem!

    For the second time (I've been to the Genius Bar already once with this) my Wifi isn't working.  They gave me a new iphone last time, but the new one has the same issue as the old one, I'm guessing.  I've tried resetting the network but that doesn't work.
    I see others have this issue too.
    If this is a hardware problem why doesn't Apple fix it?  Or do I just have to wait another year for another upgrade?
    Currently it's not costing me anything - yet - because I've got the Apple Warranty but this is totally frustating!!! I bought the original phone (which has been replaced in July 2012.  The new phone (without working Wifi) is a month old.
    Will try Restore via ITunes before (I will invariably) have to return to the Genius Bar for another Iphone 4S unless someone has an ingenius solution here?..?

    For what reason, other than making yourself look foolish, would you ask questions that we users could not possibly answer as we're NOT Apple?
    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.  Nothing more "ingenius" to suggest than these steps that Apple has outlined in the manual.  If these steps don't work, then go back to the Apple store.

  • I have a 2008 black macbook and access UK tv through a purchased proxy site. I want to buy a sony bravia internet connected tv to watch the channels in more comfort. Sony tell me this won't work - that the tv cannot capture my macbook content. Any advice?

    I have a 2008 black MacBook and acess UK tv through a puchased proxy. I want to purchase a Sony Bravia internet connected tv and stream the site through a tv - Sony tell me this won't work - that a latest model tv cannot capture content and sites from a MacBook - is this true???? Surely there is a solution? Any help or advice welcome.

    They are correct.  The only stream you can wireless connect the TV to a Mac is through an AppleTV, and that's purchased content on iTunes, and your own homemade content that is H.264 MPEG-4 that is 1800kbps.   Conversion of commercial video to that format is illegal, and hence how can not be stated on the forum.    Alternatively, as long as the TV is HDMI, you can wired connect it to your MacBook using the same advice here:

  • Mini DisplayPort to VGA isn't working. It won't recognize any external monitor. It worked just fine with my older spring 2011 MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, but now with my brand new 2012 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, it no longer works

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro this summer and was all excited. But I'm very frustrated right now because I can't connect to any external monitors through VGA. My thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to HDMI works just fine, but when I try with my other connector to go from Thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to VGA, Nothing works. my screen goes blue and changes size like it recognized something but nothing is ever detected on the external moniter or projector. I'm not sure what is wrong but it's very frustrating. I'm just very depressed that it worked just fine with my 2-year-old MacBook Pro but isn't working now. I'm running OS X 10.8.2. I just upgraded yesterday from 10.8.1 but that upgrade did nothing to fix my problem. Can anyone help? Thanks

    I am haveing this exact same issue. I have plugging in 3 monitors and tried two different VGA to mini displayport and nothing is working. I recently bought a Acer monitor and it work for an hour and now it back to doing the same thing.
    When I plug the VGA adapter in to the monitor the monitor think its not connected to a computer then when disconnecting the VGA adapter the monitor thinks it is connected to a computer.
    NEED SOME HELP!!! at the point of all my hair is pulled out.
    ^^^
    that is the same problem i am having! if anyone can help that would be great i'm losing my mind over here

  • My MacBook Air keyboard isn't working, except the power button. I had the same problem over the summer and had it repaired ~4 months ago. What should I do?

    The keyboard of my 11-inch MacBook Air, purchased in November 2011, isn't working at all. None of the keys respond except the power button. I'm able to restart the computer, and have done so multiple times. I've attempted SMC and PRAM resets, but they haven't worked.
    I've never spilled anything on the laptop, haven't stepped on it, and haven't otherwise damaged it ever. I use the laptop very lightly. I only use it to take notes for class, browse the Internet, and watch movies. I don't download anything but PDFs, PowerPoints, images, and Word documents. I don't even have music on it. So I don't think I had any part in creating the problem.
    I had this same problem with my laptop over the summer, and I took it into the Apple Store to get it repaired for $200. They told me that they didn't know the cause of the problem. I think they replaced the bottom half of my laptop entirely (receipt says there's a new "Housing, Top Case with Keyboard, US") and told me the problem was fixed. This was on June 30. The laptop keyboard stopped working again today, October 19. I called Apple Support and they told me that I would have to pay for the repair again because it's been 90 days since the last repair. I'm annoyed and upset that I have to pay $200 again to re-repair a problem that should've been properly fixed the first time. Plus, if the problem keeps happening despite multiple repairs, I can't afford to keep getting the laptop repaired over and over again due to the Apple employees' incompetence.
    Does anyone have any advice on how to fix the laptop? I'm a grad student and don't have the funds to pay for another repair, and there's no way for me to get to an Apple Store without hiring a car service, so I'm trying to avoid going to the store if possible. Thank you.

    Get the new keyboard at eBay and replace by yourself may be cheaper way, though you're required higher skill and well know about MacBook Air.

Please Help

    Your problem is not Boot Camp, in fact, is your optical drive. Win XP requires indeed sp2, but also the internal drive, does not work from external optical drive.
    For other possible tricks, please use the appropriate Boot Camp forum, not here. Mac OS X may be installed from both external and internal optical drive and/or internal/external partition of a disk, any disk. Windows is not so generous.

  • OSX Mountain Lion isn't working with my Macbook white A1181

    I don't know why but it wont let me download Mountain Lion on my macbook (the first white one - A1181), saying that it isn't compatible. Can someone help?
    Please.

    First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. The A1181 is simply any of the 6 white or black MacBooks with the user removable battery. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.
    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.

    I'm trying to connect my Bluetooth JBL speakers to my Macbook Pro but it isn't working. I can't seem to find Bluetooth Setup Assistant because I updated my laptop. What should I do?

    Make sure you set the speakers as discoverable, which usually involves holding down a button for a few seconds. Go to System Preferences / Bluetooth and you should be able to add it.
