Did Apple change the feel of the Macbook keyboard?

I recently had the logic board of my Macbook (mid 2006) repaired and for some reason Apple replaced my keyboard. But instead of the crisp tactile responsive keys I know and love, I now have a mushy soft keyboard? What gives?

I just bought a new país of Apple earpods from a certified reseller and I am socked by the very cheap feel of the cable compard to the ones I bought just one year ago. Your description about the plastic behavior totally matches my experience with these new earpods. NOT THRILLED AT ALL. They seem like they will last no more than a month.

  • Did Apple changed the Expose & Dashboard keys in the MacBook Pro?

    The new MacBook Air came with two new keys, mission control and launchpad. Did Apple changed the keys in the MacBook Pro they are selling or are they selling them with no change, because since now the dashboard is in a different place the key is useless.

    No they did not, but I fell like they should replace the icons on F3 and F4 since they are so much easier to get to using gestures.

  • In the latest iOS updates, did Apple change the way Airplay communicate with other devices through Wifi?

    Short :
    In the latest iOS updates, did Apple change the way Airplay communicate with other devices through Wifi?
    Detailed:
    We had a glitch with our Apple TV 3A 3-4 weeks ago and had to factory reset it (we reconfigured it with the exact same configuration than before the crash), it's now running iOS 7.0.2, I can't saw which version it ran before the problem though.
    It's used in a business environment with 30+ iPads 2, half of them are updated to 8.1.1 and the other half to 8.1.2. We use the latest iTunes version.
    Before the glitch that required a reset, all the iPads were detecting and mirroring when needed to the Apple TV, but now the iPads don't see the Apple TV in their list of Airplay devices anymore (but they detect various other devices inside our network).
    I have to add that our Apple TV is able to navigate the movie store correctly, so I assume that it's not an internet restriction issue from our end (also, the APple TV do not see either any of the many iPads on its device-detection screen.
    We successfully connected an iPhone 5S and an iPhone 6 through P2P Airplay, so it's not the issue, but when we connected the iPhones to our Wifi network (Same as all the other devices are using) the Apple TV suddenly disappeared from the choices.
    Hence the reason why I inquire to the possibility that some changes were made in one of the latest iOS revisions, if so, we would require some details so we can adjust our Wifi configuration accordingly to allow the proper detection of devices.
    P.S. I tried the basic troubleshooting of Airplay problems with no avail. Airplay button is displaying on the control panel, Airplay do not show the Apple TV at all (so it's not either the trick to display the Mirroring button), we also already proceeded to the suggested devices reboots, so my issue is quite more complex I believe.
    Thanks in advance.

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • Changing the macbook keyboard

    Hi everybody hope someone'll be able to help me.
    I'm thinking of buying my first macbook this summer in the US. But there is one big hurdle - The keyboard. I want it in danish with the special danish keys Æ,Ø & Å.
    Whats the price for the keyboard?
    Can i change the physical keyboard myself? if not what would it cost to have the apple store do it for me?
    Have anybody experience with this i'd love if you could help me!
    Joey

    If getting a Danish keyboard is beyond what you want to pay, I recommend the overlays, stickers or just writing on the keys. I have been using Macs for Japanese since 1985. Some software I bought once came with some keyboard stickers and they worked really well. I know it's not the same as Danish, and now with modern input systems I don't bother, but I just thought I would add this info.

  • Why did Apple change the incoming caller photo Id to a small picture in a small circle instead of the large full screen picture when calls are received?  This is useless.  If it isnt cchanged back to the way it was I am done with the iphone.  Hello Galaxy

    This will be my last iphone if thhis minor software issue is not cleared up.  I hate the new caller ID incoming picture.  Too small

    We are all users like yourself. No one here is an employee or representative of Apple. We cannot know why the photo of the incoming caller was changed. We can only say that it is what it is. If that feature change is enough to make you want to change phones then get the phone that best suits your needs. In the meantime you can send feedback to Apple here:

  • Why did Apple change the color labels of folders in 10.9.2?

    What's the purpose of a dot when I can't even see them?
    THE IDEA is to highlight a folder so you can easily find it.
    I'm all for aesthetics but this is a change of practical design. It's annoying.

    Also for the bug that iTunes doesn't minimize when I double-click the top edge of the window.
    It isn't a bug, it's a feature.
    Actually, I kinda like the improvements to the "miniplayer" thing, even though it isn't the same thing as minimizing the app. The only thing I don't like about the miniplayer is the tiny, hard to hit icon used to toggle it on & off, but if I can just remember the Cmd-Option-M shortcut for that I'm OK with that too.
    I wouldn't mind filling out a survey before they (Apple) curtained features.
    After hanging around ASC for a few years, I have realized that almost everybody has very different ideas about the usefulness of just about every feature Apple has ever implemented. If Apple listened to users, I suspect we would end up with an OS so bloated it wouldn't even be able to crawl, much less run, on most Macs, & the user preferences alone would have so many options nobody could find the ones they wanted without help.
    Actually, I think that may already be happening ... but I'm sure everybody has a different opinion about that, too!

  • Did Apple change the screensaver settings?

    I use to be able to choose one of my iPhoto album to use as the screensaver. In the past week I've noticed that my screensaver settings is using the National Geographic photos and I'm unable to go back and select when of my iPhoto albums. Why?? Anyone else has the same issue? Any fix to it?

    Thanks but this is no my issue. I can access the desktop and screensaver settings however I'm unable to choose one of my iPhoto albums as a screensaver as I used to. The only choices are National Geographic, Aerial, Cosmos and Nature Patterns. I used to be able to choose one of my iPhoto albums just like you can do in the desktop settings.
    I do have the option to choose a folder on my computer but that means I have to duplicate photos from iPhoto to another location...I was hoping for a better solution. Not sure why Apple is doing this...

  • Did apple change the battery

    I was considering getting an iphone but was concerned about early reports of the apple iphone having a bad battery. Doe you still have to ship it out to apple to get the battery exchanged and how much does it cost if you do?

    dreveil601,
    If your battery is defective due to a manufacturing defect during the first year, it is covered by the warranty. The only cost to you would be if you opt to pay to use a loaner iPhone while your iPhone is in for service.
    If your battery wears out, and realize it will 300-400 full charge/discharge cycles and the battery should still keep 80% of its original capacity, or you are beyond the one year warranty, battery replacement is available for a fee, currently listed as $79 plus $6.95 for shipping.
    This page has more information about the battery capacity and expected lifespan:

    The iPhone Service FAQ page has more information about service costs:

    Hope this helps,

  • How did apple make the macbook pro retina screen less reflective

    Heya
    I lvoe my new late 2013 haswell retina 13 inch pro, comign from my old non retina pro I love how the screen is less reflective in sunlight etc..
    I was just interested to see if anyone knows how apple mangaed to do this, technology wise??
    Special coatings or reducing the spaca between display and the glass??
    Thanks
    interested to hear your ideas or actual knowledge.

    This is from the "How to Clean Apple Products Page" on Apple.com i found.
    Displays
    Disconnect the display from power, from its connection to a computer, and from any external devices. Next use the cloth that came with your display or another soft, dry cloth to wipe dust from the screen. If additional cleaning of the display panel or case is required use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don't use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean the display.
    Warning: Don't clean the screen with a cleaner containing alcohol or acetone. Use a cleaner intended for use with a screen or display. Never spray cleaner directly on the screen. It may drip inside the display and cause damage.

  • I have the iPhone 5 and iPad 3. I will travel to Europe and would like to know if I need a current covertidor 220-110 for my equipments. I have an adapter, but that did not change the flow and do not want to risk it. Thank you.

    All you need is a physical plug adapter, not a voltage converter. All Apple chargers work on any voltage from 110 - 240 worldwide.

  • Why did they change the iphone 5 charger?

    I am pretty annoyed that apple changed the charging port on the new iphone 5.  Now all of my charging and docking stations are pretty much worthless and I have heard nothing but bad things about the adapter they make from the new lightening port to a 30pin dock.
    Anybody else having this issue or found a working solution?  I hate carrying around tons of adapter cables.
    I feel like I am the fool for buying the newest apple products.  I am now regreting supporting apple so much in this case.

    Your Right. Now people have to buy new docks and everything. The adapter will break your phone or itself real easy and the charger is to small.
    Apple is turning into a pc company. You have either a PC or Mac now there the same. Stop making basic mistakes to turn a buck.

  • Cost to change the whole keyboard Macbook Pro 13''??

    Hey
    i wish to know the estimate $$ for me to change the whole keyboard of my Macbook Pro 13'' Mid 2009

    I did two, a 2010 15" and an early 2011 13". The keyboard replacement on these machines is easiest done via replacement of the "top case".
    These cost me $79 and $69 off eBay.

    Using the Bold Text Accessibility option does make the keypad numbers a little bolder.
    Yep - I was only looking at Text Size.
    But still, not sure what the deal is. The "1" is just as readable as any other number on the keyboard regardless.
