Disable backlit keyboard in bedside mode

Please implement this for the Q-models, as the light from the keyboard is like lightning bolts into your eyes and undo's the purpose of a bedside nightclock.

Welcome to the forums.
The backlight should fade out after a while, leaving just the clock, does this not happen for you?

Disable keyboard in sleep mode

My MacBookPro - wich is my second mac so far - unfortunately has a problem staying in sleep mode whilst being carryied. For me, this problem i quite serious since the otherwise fine sleep mode capability of Apple Mac's is one of the things that made me choose to 'switch'.
What I am experiencing is this; When I close the lid and make the MBP go to sleep and then moves it, a slight pressure to the lid makes the screen touch the keyboard - wich makes the MBP wake up.
Consequently I have had the MBP opened to try to adjust the keyboard ( Oooh - no warranty anymore ) but just discovered that the keyboard could not be adjusted. Looking at the keyboard at a very low angle reveals the sinner; the arrowkeys and right shift is about 1-1,5 mm higher than the rest of the keys.
So - I would like to know if it is possibly to disable the keyboard when the MBP is put to sleep.
Is there a hidden setting somewhere or maybe som 3. party software that will do the trick.
I really miss the rapid 'bootup' from sleepmode and the possibility to just close the lid and stow the computer away.
As things are right now Im booting up and shutting down about 10-15 times a day. It gives me a lot of time to drink coffee - but if that was my primary need whilst working with my computer I would be using a PC.

I know of no way to disable a USB keyboard while a Mac is asleep aside from disconnecting it.
Another approach is to make the keyboard unavailable with something like a keyboard tray that allows you to hide it under the desktop when not in use. Or one that lets you store it under the iMac.
But, the psychologist in me suggests a behavioral approach and teach the kittens to stay away from the computer. A squirt gun or spray bottle is a harmless way to teach them that this area is off limits. Squirt them and say NO firmly and quickly just saying NO will suffice. A few weeks of this and they should avoid the computer a together. Just do not spray your electronics!

Acer R13 Ghosting and Backlit Keyboard Noise - Return worthy?

Same stupid sound at night. Also cant disable that auto keyboard backlight disabler function, really annoying. Please fix that!Bios 1.09 core i5-5200 120gb ssd FullHD Acer R13 Windows 8.1Acer Aspire R7-371t-55XH

Hi, I bought an earlier R13 (Haswell i5, FHD screen) on sale. Thankfully, with the BIOS update the keyboard typing experience, while not perfect, is more than manageable for me so far. My two issues: 1) Upon setting up, I selected a darker color for the Windows menu background. When I switched to this, I notced a wide, fuzzy rectangular box-shaped area around the inside of the screen that was somewhat lighter in color, and two of the buttons on the screen left a ghost image within this shape while the system continued with setup. Worried about the ghosting issue noted elsewhere in this forum, I tried an image retention test found online and sure enough the checkerboard image stayed visible on the edges of the screen when I switched to grey. It returned to normal operations swiftly after that. 2) I have also experienced the high-pitched whine with the backlit keyboard on maximum. This is not audible on the lower setting or when it's off. It's very quiet, but nonetheless it's still there. Is this a common problem? Are there people out there who HAVE this issue but are okay with it? Given that the device is practically silent otherwise (that fan is darn near whisper level when it IS on), it's a minor but nonetheless present annoyance.
I can still return this unit - *should* I, and what's likely to happen if I don't?
I'm in the middle of evaluating the machine to see if it fits my needs. The form factor is amazing, and comiong from a home and workplace filled with Windows 7 machines Windows 8.1 was much easier to handle than I thought (and with W10 on the horizon I can only imagine it getting better). These two issues are the standouts for me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Acer Aspire R13 Touch Keyboard in Stand Mode

When I switch the laptop into Ezel or Stand mode, the touch keyboard is disabled in the Windows 8 touch interface, e.g when I open IE, I cannot type any URL. Is there any way to enable the touch keyboard in all modes? An update ... using the touch keyboard troubleshooter available at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/using-touch-keyboard, it shows that the touch keyboard is disabled. When the notebook switches mode, some piece of software changes the theme (which I like) and disables the touch keyboard. So my question is, can I enable the touch keyboard all the time?

sh_kamalh,
The notebook is working as designed, when it is in ezel and stand mode the built in keyboard would need to be used.

Backlit keyboard preferences problem

My backlit keyboard preferences aren't working. I have the "Illuminate keyboard in low light conditions" preference unchecked, yet the keyboard's backlight still comes on.
Also, usually, with this preference disabled (no backlight), when pressing one of the backlight keys (F8-F10), the backlight symbol would appear with a circle-slash icon. That's not happening either.
This is likely a problem where I could delete the keyboard preference and start from scratch. But I'm unsure which .plist is the correct one. Some searches through the preferences folder didn't turn up anything obvious.
Has anyone experiences this problem? And/or have some suggestions on how it might be solved?
Thanks in advance.

i was thinking their was something wrong with my keyboard illumination and then i realized i just had the light turned down. you can turn it up by pressing the key above the 6 key(it is the f6 button but without using the function modifier)

Toshiba L855-S5113: Backlit Keyboard Upgrade

Greetings! I have a Toshiba Satellite L855-S5113 and would like to upgrade the keyboard to a backlit keyboard. Does anyone here have experience performing this modification? I found a backlit keyboard for my laptop however, there is an additional 4 contact ribbon cable attached to the keyboard. I removed my keyboard and I could not find an additional 4 contact connection point on the mobo. I discovered the touchpad ribbon cable has 4 contacts. I don't use the touchpad or buttons since I use a wireless mouse so I am thinking I can disconnect the touchpad ribbon cable and connect the new backlit keyboard ribbon cable to the touchpad connection point on the mobo. If this works and I have power for illumination, will I need to change BIOS or update a driver or both? Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your help, Travisimo

i have found the way to light my keyboard.
its a hardware mod(kind of). the backlit keyboard has 2 ffc cable, one, the standard with a lot of pins, to transmit data to the motherboard, and another one narrower (just 4 pins) for ilumination
backlit doesnt work if i connect it to its port,but there are three more port of this kind so i test them.
there are two verey close at the left side and another near the standard keyboard connector.
the 2 from the left side, give little voltage and the bright of the backlit is very poor. the other one near the keyboard standard connector (i can read kskaa intel near it) give enough voltage,and oh yeah! it light my keyboard, but its too far for connect the two cables of the keyboard.
also, i have to disconnect a 4 pin ffc cable to do this, but the laptop worked just fine while i was testing this.
so maybe i will buy a 4pin ffc cable to connect to this port the backlit cable.
btw it would be awesome if you guys could help me to activate the voltage in the backlit port.
i have the feeling that it works, due to if i connect to the backlit port the backlit cable, in control panel\device manager\ appear a unlnow device which windows cant find the correct driver.
i have another question.
im using windows 7 ultimate (genuine, a present from mr Steve Ballmer ;P ) 32 bits... could be possible that in 64 bits the backlit would be correctly managed?
thanks in advance

Dim Backlit Keyboard HP Pavilion DV6t-7000

The backlit keyboard went dim after having it on for a few hours while working on some projects. I can only see the light if I look underneath the keys. I have had the lights on for long times before it when dim. I have looked on these forums for any information happening before and found one that mention a proximity sensor that may need to be ajusted, but I looked on my computer and does not have that bit of software.
So I would like to find out is there any way to fix this or would I end up needing to replace the keyboard.
Thanks.

Hi Zannh,
Try the following.
Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Any change?
Regards,
DP-K

IPhone keyboard in Landscape Mode

Hey,
Is any one else having the same issue ? Any solution is appreciated. When I use my iPhone keyboard in landscape mode (application - gmail) some of the letters in the keyboard don't pop-up. The keyboard inputs the letters in the mail however the on-screen prompt for a key being pressed (letters jumping up) does not happen. It happens for different letters each time. I have seen 'q' key do that .... r some times etc. It is not just the first row of letters too. I have seen other letters.
I reset the phone, restored it and even got a warranty exchange. I still have this issue. Any ideas ?
Peace...

IPhone 6 Plus - remove extra keys on keyboard in landscape mode

is there a way to remove the extra keys that appear on the keyboard in Landscape mode? I would rather the extra keys are not there so that the letter keys are larger? thanks

There is no way to modify the existing keyboard. However, iOS 8 allows for adding third party keyboard. Search the App Store. Another keyboard may better suit you.

Is there a way to automatically set Google Talk to idle or offline in Bedside Mode?

On most phones, google talk (or rather, Google Hangouts usually) goes idle automatically after a certain amount of time, or at least when the phone is in some sort of "sleep" mode. I can't find out how to do this with Google Talk on BlackBerry 10. Basically, I want Google Talk to either automatically go offline or at least to automatically go idle while in Bedside Mode, or just to have a time-out when I haven't been using it for a while. Is there any setting that controls this in Google Talk, or any third-party App that adds this functionality? It's basic enough that I'd assume someone has done it.

which LiveCycle? can it be done in ver.7?
if yes-how?

Backlit keyboard no longer working.

I just recently upgraded my 2010 macbook pro RAM. I went from 4gb to 6gb and now my backlit keyboard is no longer working. I have tried messing with the keyboard settings as well as the F5 and F6 buttons. The keyboard does not even come on in low lit conditions. Why is my backlit keyboard no longer working?

Hi...
Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
