Does my Macbook have Keylights like the Macbook Pro does?

I was watching the Macbook Air guided tour, just to see if buying my Macbook was a waste of money if Apple released a better Macbook, but i still don't understand which is better (processing wise) because there is no really websites on it at the moment.
Any way if you can answer that then go ahead, but back on topic. I was watching the guided tour and i noticed the Apple guy (sorry, i forget his name) explained that just like the Macbook (I don't know if he said "Pro" or just a Macbook in general) the Air has a light sensor in it that can detect decreases in light (or increases in darkness, whichever works for you) and respond accordingly by turning on lights under the keys so that you can see them in a dark enviroment.
So i quickly shut off the lights too see if my Macbook did what the Macbook Air and Pro do, but nothing happened. So i fiddled around in keyboard and mouse settings and i couldn't find anything remotely close to lighting on my keyboard. So i started looking at the keys, and they appear to be grey letters, but maybe its just me because isn't there a possibility that they are clear and i am only seeing the darkness thats underneath them. So instead of getting all bent (because staring at a key for a couple minutes is really frustrating) i decided to come here and ask does my Macbook have keyboard lights that eluminate keys?

Thanks for the star. Still - it's a fairly minor thing. There needs to be some justification for the additional price of a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air.
Illuminated USB keyboards seem to be relatively inexpensive if you must have that feature.

    Does ipad2 have a "show topsites" feature like the Macbook Pro?

    No, Safari on the iPad is a fairly basic browser and with iOS 5 it now uses tabbed browsing and not the thumbnail/page view as on previous iOS versions (which only showed your open pages and not top sites).

    So it can be .mp4 format.
    If not you have to convert it.
    Try import it into iTunes then sync it to your iPad.

  • If i buy my macbook pro with a flash memory will i get instant on like the macbook air?

    If i buy a macbook pro with a flash memory will i get the instant on feature like the macbook air?

    Almost, if you up your memory to 8GB or even 16GB (for around $80) AND use the SSD (solid state drive)((flash memory)) it should be an "instant on" sort of setup.
    A pretty cheap way to go I must say.  Only a couple hundred extra to be such a fast computer.

    If you are looking for project scheduling the Project Program Management application from the PeopleSoft Enterprise product line can help you to schedule and track your project.
    There are also built-in project scheduling capability in the EnterpriseOne ETO product.
    The project scheduling capability in embedded in the enterprise apps. As far as I know, I have not seen a standalone, desktop based project scheduling tool from Oracle.

You can use Oracle Project suite to manage your project throughout the lifecycle from financial, accounting, operation, and execution perspectives.

  • My router does vpn passthrough and is set up correctly. Does it also have to host the vpn?

    my router does vpn passthrough and is set up correctly. Does it also have to host the vpn?
    Thanks
    Greg

    Not sure I understand your question or problem, but I'll give it a shot.
    No, you do not have to host the VPN server on your router.  That wouldn't do you any good for working around the limitations of the VZW network anyways since you are still on the same VZW network.  When you setup a VPN you normally want it to be on someone else's network so you can enable things like port forwarding and remote access.
    The VPN Passthrough feature only allows your VPN clients to access VPN servers, its not the same thing as hosting.  If you want your router to auto connect to a VPN server (which is more common) that is something different.  VPN clients connect to VPN servers.  VPN clients are normally installed on your personal devices or your router.  VPN servers are geographically located somewhere else and on someone else's network.

    I don't know EG01 transaction, but if SAP says "material 5 does not exist " then SAP is usually right.
    Can you give an evidence that material 5 exists? e.g. screenshot from  SE16 at table MARA, MARC and MAST

  • Does anyone else have trouble with the button on I pad to access other apps

    Does anyone else have trouble with the button on I pad to access other apps

    Hello, Kevandsheila. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are some troubleshooting steps that I could recommend when experiencing Home button issues.  The article below is labeled for the iPhone, but the steps are the same for your iPad. 
    The Home button is slow to respond
    If the Home button is slow to respond when exiting one application, try another application.
    If the issue exists only in certain applications, try removing and reinstalling those applications. Get further assistance in installing and troubleshooting applications.
    If the issue continues, Try turning iPhone off and then on again. If the iPhone will not restart, try resetting it.
    If the issue is still happening, try to restore the iPhone.
    Seek service is the issue is still occurring.
    The Home button isn't working
    Put the iPhone to sleep.
    Wait a couple of seconds.
    Press the Home button.
    iPhone should wake up.
    If iPhone does not wake up, then iPhone should be serviced.
    If the issue persists after all the steps have been processed see the last section labeled issue not resolved.

  • Does anyone else have problems with the new macbook pro trackpad?

    I exchanged my new macbook pro last week because there was a major trackpad lag. Every time I put it to sleep and woke it up, the trackpad would delay 5 or more seconds. I took it in to the Apple store and they said it could be a software issue and I exchanged it. However, I just opened up this one up from the package today, and there's still a lag. Does anyone else have problems with that? I don't want to exchange it again, so is there something I can do?

    Also, is it mandatory to run software updates when you first turn on your computer?

  • My cmd-c and cmd-v does not work anymore. How do I fix this permanently (I have already started the MacBook up again, and that helped a few hours...)

    This problem started to occur after having done an update for my iPhone. All help is appreciated! Thank you!

    Hi guys,
    @cor-el: getting rid of not needed parts is what I always do. Besides prefs and localstore, only the search-metadata and permissions / signons are passed along. Oh, forgot to mention the mimetypes.
    No, my point is why is FF looking for those folders when there's no mentioning of these to be found in my options? Not even in de about:config ... When I state C:\ as my downloads location it's absurd to check any other folder first, which FF seems to do before giving me an explorer window showing .. C:\ as a starting point. Like my unrestricted laptop does.
    @jscher2000: Even if there are pointers to those default folders, FF should not be checking those. When I state C: I mean C: (see my answer above).
    No, I'm convinced this is a bug unless someone knows a way to stop that folder checking. And to be honest, the not working Browse button is the least of my problems (I use: ask everytime where). No it's the saving that is the problem. But I guess the underlying problem is the same. Saving / downloading, what's in a name ..
    Guys, thanks for your help ! I can't fix a bug so I'm going to let it be. I'll rebuild my master and will keep checking of saving a website becomes a problem somewhere. Mind you, the solutions offered in kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files didn't work.
    Oh well, I'll keep my fingers crossed :)

  • Every week I have to restore the macbook pro system

    Hi,
    Lately my macbook pro is having some problems that are bothering me a lot.
    After some use it simply will not boot and I have to restore the system by time machine. But before that happens, the boot is extremely slow, it does not leave the apple gray screen, then rebooting the computer by the recovery disk, several problems are presented during the disk check.
    The last time I had the problem, the computer just was not mount the disk in any way, I had to erase the disk and restore the system from time machine. I've replaced the HD, reset PRAM, SMC, repair disk permissions, but nothing solved the problem.
    Another problem that is occurring is that the system reports different values ​​for the free disk space, on the table it reports a value, in the disk utility is informed another value, always lower, as if the table it reports the value of 502.33 GB of free space, in disk utility value reported is 498.20 GB. After performing the system restore, the computer works fine for about a week, and then presents the problems again.
    The computer only has these problems with the Lion, the snow leopard operation is perfect, but as I paid $ 30.00 by the system, I wish to use it, but if the problems continue I think I will downgrade to the snow leopard.
    Has anyone had the same problems with the Lion and the macbook pro?
    Any suggestions to solve these problems without having to go back to the snow leopard?
    My computer's configuration:
    Mid-2009 Macbook Pro, 15.4 ", 8GB Ram, 750GB 7.200 rpm Hard Drive, Intel core 2 duo 2.53 GHz.
    Thank´s

    Hi djousma,
    I just use the Mac OS, I've done a scan with virusbarrier (all updated virus definitions) and no virus was found. My software is all original, and most were purchased from the App Store.
    I bought this macbook new, sealed box, and always had the feeling that something was wrong with it. After 8 months of purchase, the original HD had problems. I took the computer to an Apple authorized service center, they said the HD was damaged and replaced under warranty. This happened exactly two years ago. After replacing the HD the computer works normally until the installation of the Lion, I can't say if it was coincidence or not, but it's really weird problems start after installing the Lion. Another strange problem on my computer since I bought it, is that the battery reduces the percentage of load even with the connected MagSafe power.
    I don't understand what's happening with my computer.
    Thank You!

  • Looks like final cut pro does run and "runs well" on macbook

    http://www.creativemac.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=43717
    "Contrary to the bizarre rumor, the MacBook can indeed run Final Cut Pro, and it can run it quite well, if these tests are any indication. For Final Cut Pro, we ran four individual tests to compare performance on a variety of functions and in both HD and SD. In most cases, the results were fairly close. The 13-inch MacBook beat the dual G5 in two of four tests, tied it in one and lost out by one second in another. All of the tests were rendering tests, which, of course, doesn't tell the whole story. But it does give a good indication of the power of a computer's CPU."

    Final Cut Pro while it does run it is not supported to do so.
    Please be aware also that the report only tested functionality that is not impacted by the GPU. For instance, the MacBook will more than likely fall flat on its face, comparitively, when faced with real time effects. Using FCP is not only about rendering and encoding speeds. There are other hours, day, weeks etc infornt of FCP that does not involve neither rendering or encoding.
    It is a skewed report that does not taking into the account the actual "using" of FCP.
    As a cheap alternative to an MBP for portability reasons… the MB will be fantastic.
