Does anybody have any solution for a non-functioning key on a macbook pro

Product Name: Macbook Pro 13", 5,5, Mid 2009
OSX:  10.6.8
Description of problem:  The right arrow key will not work or function.
Other details:  At startup, when a button either the Apple, Finder, File, etc are pressed the highlighter moves to the right and repeats moving to the right as if the right arrow key is stuck.  When another key (any) is pressed it stops and all other keys function properly.  The right arrow key will not work.
Steps I have tried to resolve the issue.  Rebooting, SMC reset, removing key tab and cleaning.
Any ideas????

Hi JamilMereck,
first of: you can edit previous posts in a time-frame of some minutes (haven't measured it ...).
After that they become non-editable.
I admit I have used microphones some years back with and without PCs (have switched to Macs 2.5 years ago).
But I always had the mics connected to a mixing desk, which provided Phantom Power.
Since I gave up my 'Singing Career' (wasn't good enough) I also abandoned the use of microphones.
To your questions:
It might be that PCs with specified Microphone-In ports are also providing power to them or the microphones themselves do not need any power.
And the 'compatible with...' refers to the usage on computers in general.
The iMic from Griffin works with OSX 10.5 (scroll down on the webpage to 'Product Compatibility' the left icon symbolizes OSX 10.5).
As said above, I am no longer up-to-date in usage of microphones, but when you want to use a microphone with the standard connector you have to get either a microphone preamp or a mixer.
If you use the mic only (really only) with your Mac Pro, you might wanna look for USB-connected mics from Samson or Audio Technica for example.
And don't get upset, I understand you fully and any kind of 'insult' is for the manufacturers and not for me

    There seems to be a problem, just now, with the USB 3 ports on the new MBP's supporting eternal USB 3 drives. Some people have no luck at all - can't even recognize the drive - and some are reporting USB 2 speeds (those who drives are recognized). I'd call a dealer such as LaCie or OWC to see if they have USB 3 drives that actually work with MBP's with USB 3 ports. You may have to wait for a software/firmware update.

  • Does anybody have a solution for the NAT problem?

    Is somebody's application or Applet able to play any RTP stream behind a NAT Router? Can anybody establish any kind of connection / broadcasting between two subnets? I've got my RTP-Transmitter@public IP (using RTPManager...SendStream.start()), and I try to receive the stream from my local network which is behind a router (DHCP: 192.168....).
    I read forums, newsgroups, looked for any solution for days all over the web but I've found nothing. Zero.
    What's the secret? Any hints?

    Hi
    I have the same problem.
    I have one appletTransmitter that capture video from webcam and transmit it to other client on internet.
    I try to transmit medialocator from appletTransmitter to servlet1 and then save MedialLocator as servlet attribute, then other client can connect to servlet2 that send saved MediaLocator to appletClient.
    APPLETTRANSMITTER:
    URL url=null;
    MediaLocator media=new MediaLocator("vfw://0");
    try{
    url = new URL("http://localhost:8080/servlet1");
    catch(MalformedURLException mue){mue.printStackTrace();}
    URLConnection conn=null;
    try{
    conn = url.openConnection();
    catch(IOException ioe){ioe.printStackTrace();}
    conn.setDoOutput(true);
    OutputStream os=null;
    ObjectOutputStream oos=null;
    InputStream in=null;
    ObjectInputStream iin=null;
    MediaLocator mResp=null;
    String r=null;
    try{
    os=conn.getOutputStream();
    oos=new ObjectOutputStream(os);
    oos.writeObject(media);
    //oos.writeObject("Prova Servlet");
    oos.flush();
    catch(IOException io){io.printStackTrace();}
    catch(ClassNotFoundException cn){cn.printStackTrace();}
    SERVLET1
    ObjectInputStream objin = new ObjectInputStream(request.getInputStream());
    MediaLocator ml =null;
    try{
    ml = (MediaLocator) objin.readObject();
    context.setAttribute("media",ml);
    catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
    {e.printStackTrace()}
    But on servlet1 there is a ClassNotFoundException: MediaLocator
    What do we think about the solution and exception problem?

  • Does anybody have a solution for com.aladdin.hasplmd crashing continuously?

    HI everyone,
    Does anyone know which program is causing this continuous error?
    I found this discussion thread but I do not have a folder called HASP in Library/Application Support/
    Help needed with Lion Console message
    I also do not have the Hauptwerk Virtual Pipe Organ software as somebody in that discussion had eluded to.
    I do however have the x-rite i1 display pro installed but this issue started way before that device and software were installed
    Any advice/guidance on this issue would be greatly appreciated it.  Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the help!

    Your problem is described here: http://www.xrite.com/product_overview.aspx?ID=1469&Action=support&SupportID=5526
    1) You can install an updated driver e.g. Sentinel HASP/LDK Mac OS X Run-time GUI Installation as stated in the article
    or
    2) Disable the hasplmd completely in terminal as admin:
    sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.aladdin.hasplmd.plist
    Hope this helps

  • Does anyone have a solution for using my SIP phone with my MacBook Air

    I specifically purchased a MacAir for my home office. Small, Sleek, and portable. I just purchased a Cisco SIP phone and realized that I may have to continue to use my MacBook at my desk. Any work around? Is there some kind of hub or converter I can use? Thanks.

    Search the web or help doco about the Captivate feature called Return to Quiz.  It will do what you are looking for here according to your description.  There's even a Youtube video from a year or two back that shows how it works.

  • The battery for my macbook pro 13 says "service battery".  Now I want to get a replacement but the reviews for it are horrible! Does anybody have any suggestions?

    The battery for my macbook pro 13 says "service battery".  Now I want to get a replacement but the reviews for it are horrible! Does anybody have any suggestions? I don't want to spend 130 dollars on something I'm going to have to replace in less than a year (which is what normally I been reading)  I do design work and I take my mac everywhere.  Having to always look for a plug or having to be constantly plugged in doesn't sound ideal to me.  Please help me. what should I do???

    Why does it matter if it a scam????? I'll let you figure that out by yourself.  If I'm going to replace it, why should I be contempt with a battery that I have to replace within months (as stated by some people in the comments). The issue here is not if I should or not replace it OBVIOUSLY I'm going to have to before it starts going crazy.  The underlying issue is why is the replacement battery for a lack of better words " a bit crap."  It comes with a 3 month guarantee?? Is that a joke?!??!?! Some people complained it malfunction after only 8- 9 months? I'm sorry but as an Apple fan I think it's absolutely rubbish. I know there is no magic cure I'm just hoping someone shines the light on how crappy this replacement is.

  • Ipad2 plus ipad air all of a sudden instantly goes back to home screen.doesnt matter what app i am using just when it decides to do it it does.apple tech has no answer or fix for me does anybody have any idea what is wrong

    ipad2 plus ipad air all of a sudden instantly goes back to home screen.doesnt matter what app i am using just when it decides to do it it does.apple tech has no answer or fix for me does anybody have any idea what is wrong

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Could also be not enough free space for the iPad to operate efficiently. With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free.  For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.
    If neither of these suggestions helps, Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

    Just to add this : iWeb -- the app itself -- is still supported,updated only months ago and as part of the ilife '11 DVDs still widely spread even though it is not sold on the AppStore it is official part of iLife. It runs in Lion and there is zero issues with the app. So a training makes sense, doesn't it ?.

    Most likely a hardware failure, & if so, you won't be able to restore/activte your phone. If you've tried at least two times, & are still getting this error, make an appointment at any Apple store, or call AppleCare.

  • My display has quit working.  Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

    I have had my Verizon Jetpack MiFi 5510L for a couple of months now.  It has worked fine until a few days ago the display on it started looking strange and now has finally gone blank.  Does anyone have a solution for the problem?

    You can do both, whatever is more convenient to you.  As long as VZW gets its hands on the old device you will be good to go.  Replacements under the warranrty require the user to turn in the old device to VZW.  If your old device is not returned then you will be charged a fee for an entirely new device.  Purchasing a tracking number for a shipment of this kind would be a good idea if you choose to send it in.  Otherwise dropping it off at a store is the safest route you can take. 
    I would suggest contacting VZW phone support on this one and running through your options.  The VZW phone rep can coordinate a delivery to your local VZW store if they do not already have one in stock.  You can also turn in the old device in person to rule out any non-returned device fees.

  • The button on the side that turns my phone to silent does not work and niether does the up volume button.  I have tried restarting my phone, I did a soft reset, I checked all my settings, but nothing has worked.  Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 4 and recently started to have some problems.  First, the button on the side of my phone, that puts the phone on silent is not working. I can move the switch, but my phone stays in silent. However, If I plug my headphones in, Then I can hear everything like I am supposed too.   Also, my up volume button does not work.  This is with the headphones also. 
    I have tried doing a soft reset, I reset all of my settings, I updated my software, I restored everything back to factory settings, and nothing has fixed it.  I bought it from best buy and can send it in for service, but the last time I sent a phone in, it took them 3 months!  and I really don't want to go without my phone that long. 
    Does anybody have any suggestions? 
    Thanks so much!!

    Sounds like it either believes that there are headphones plugged in, or the switch is broken.
    Why in the world would you take it to Best Buy for service? Take it to an Apple Store. They can replace it on the spot if it's defective.

  • Does anyone have any suggestions for Ad blocking? I'm getting a lot of pop up ads while using Facebook from Safari.

           I'm getting a lot of pop up ads. mostly while using  Facebook. I'm running Safari on a Macbook Pro running Yosemite. Does anyone have any suggestions for an Ad blocker. I don't see anything in the App store.
          I can't swear to it but I don't recall this being a problem pre-Yosemite. I could be wrong. I haven't been real active on Facebook until recently. I see some third party apps out there but am alway wary of non approved software.

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Does anybody have any advice about updating your book description once the book is live?

    I made a careless spelling mistake while filling out the metadata for my children’s ebook. Obviously I quickly changed it and resubmitted my “package”. That was four days ago and the spelling mistake is still there in the book description for all the world to see. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to push this through? It really should only be a 30 second fix yet has turned into a complete nightmare. Please help. Thanks.

    The description is one of the metadata fields that you cannot update yourself. You need to contact Apple and ask them to make the change for you. Quote the title, Apple ID, and ISBN of the book, and added description of the exact change needed, or complete replacement text for the description.
