Fn key disconnect? popped off but acts likes its on?

my fn key popped off, the clear bubble is missing. i've been using the computer without a key because i dont use the function key anyway. but finally got around to putting the key back on. it stays depressed becuse the bubble is missing, no biggie, except now the fn is 'on' all the time! when i lift the board and stick my finger underneath its "off" thus i am able to type this-one handed. wierd! help!

Tried it> Go into your system preferences and click on keyboard and see it the Use all F1,F2 etc. as standard function keys is selected if it is then unselect it, if it is not select click the box to select it,
no luck.
Just the 'fn' key on the keyboard does not respond. the rest of the keys seems to be working fine.
How can I check wheather my wireless keyboard is defect or not?

It said it had like 53% or more physical memory being used but I didn't have any applications running at all. What could be the problem.

Samuel32_826,
If you have a virus you can run a system recovery to remove the virus.
The system recovery will remove everything on your computer including the virus and put the system back to day one. Just like when you opened it out of the box.
Here is a link that will walk you through the steps of the recovery.
Let me know how everything goes.

Why wont my itunes open it acts like its loading but then it just never comes up

itunes acts like its loading but never comes up and rarely when it does come up it freezes.

Hello, jessykins25.
Thank you for the question. This sounds like you will need to rebuild your iTunes library file. Below, I have included the article that walks you through this process. Start with the section labeled Re-creating the iTunes Library file.

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase co

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase completely without having to go over it multiple times?
It started randomly about two weeks ago and I thought it was a glitch that would just go away. But now I am getting sick of using only the block eraser on one size. Help?

The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

HT4528 iphone wont play sound acts like its plugged up.

wont play ringtones or music acts like its hooked up to a ihome or cord.

So the sleep button only works intermittently? That sounds like the switch is about to fail. This isn't that uncommon... If you go to
settings -> general -> accessibility -> assistive touch
Turn this on and you will find a translucent little doo-dah appears. In this under device there is an option to set your phone to sleep. It's not the best solution but at least you'll be able to lock it when it does fail completely.
As for your sound problems, it may be that the mute switch is broken, make sure vibration is set to on and give it a wiggle. Your phone should vibrate when you set it to silent and an icon should also appear momentarily on the screen.
Also, I'd check your settings as headphone volume and speaker volume are set independently of each other.

Mid 2011 macbook air. command key has popped off and is now missing the 2nd metal bar. can this be replaced?

The command key popped off my mid 2011 macbook air. It is meant to have two metal bars but can't find the 2nd one. I have clicked it back into place but if I press the button at the bottom the top pops up and I'm worried that if I don't fix the problem I may end up losing the key altogether!
Can you buy replacement metal bars? should I just remove the other bar completely?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, must have been the crackpipe I smoked last night! LOL
You won't see anything in the Application Support --> Bootcamp folder unless you have previously downloaded the Windows Support Software. Good find.
ADDENDUM STEP:
This step should be placed between 9-10.
Open Bootcamp Assistant. Uncheck everything BUT, "DOWNLOAD THE LATEST WINDOWS SUPPORT SOFTWARE FROM APPLE". You will be prompted to burn the image to a CD/DVD or save to a USB Key. Save the image to a USB key. This will format your USB key properly in preparation for the files. The download commences and if you're lucky, the files will simply be saved to your USB key without having to manually copy them over to the key using the steps above.
IMPORTANT - Even if the support software hangs when its being saved to the USB key, you should now be able to navigate to the directory and see the image. Follow the steps above.
Apologies for missing this.
Best,
WBN

Control key at startup so computer acts like hard drive

It's control something so when a computer starts up it acts like a hard drive when connected to another computer so it's easy to transfer stuff. Control what? I thought it was T, but that's not right. Thank you.

Just the "t" key, no other key. That'll put you in Firewire Target Disk Mode...

Arrow Key Keeps Popping Off

Hello, recently my right arrow key on my Macbook popped off while typing. I tried to just snap it back in, which seemed to work, but whenever I touch the right half of the key it comes back off again. Any suggestions before taking it to Apple?

No suggestions other than to take it to the local Apple Store. I had a similar problem when I first got my MacBook, and the Genius replaced my key from a pile of them "in the back." Took about 8 seconds. Good luck!

Rysnc not sending files, but acts like it is..

This ones got me really confused.
I'm trying to backup my laptop's most important folders, like /etc/ and /home/, to my arch linux server. I somehow managed to backup my /etc directory, but since then, its not working.
It looks like it worked, sometimes even giving accurate-ish "speed up" reports at the end. But when I SSH into my server, and run "ls -l" in the folder everything was meant to be sent to, theres nothing there.
This is one of the commands I've used, using the "push" method.
rsync --progress -avz /home/ -e 'ssh -p 1984 [email protected]:/backup/laptop2002/home'
From what I know, this is meant to compress my /home contents, preserving permission and whatnot thanks to the -a switch, sending the contents of said /home directory to my password-less, yet ssh-key-secured server on 192.168.1.70, dumping it in the /backup/laptop2002/home directory. But it doesnt. It reports that it has, but doesnt.
This is the other one I tried, running this on the server to "pull" the /home folder from my laptop.
rsync --progress -avz -a 'ssh -p 1984 [email protected]:/home/ /backup/laptop2002/home/'
Still no joy. It's asthough I'm running rsync with the -n switch to simulate the backup. But obviously I'm not.
Im totally baffled. It's really quite frustrating.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

The -e option should only contain "ssh -p1984", not any hostnames/paths.
To synchronize your local folder to the remote server use:
rsync --progress -avz -e 'ssh -p1984' /backup/laptop2002/home/ [email protected]:/home/
To synchronize the remote folder to your local machine use:
rsync --progress -avz -e 'ssh -p1984' [email protected]:/home/ /backup/laptop2002/home/

Key Cap Popped off

I export using quicktime and it loads and acts like its working then when it is finished there is no exported file. It's as if nothing happened!

I have used imovie in the past for editing gaming videos but due to a software issue i have had to make a return to imovie. The issue is when i try to export either just by exporting movie or exporting using quicktime, it acts like it is working then at the end it finishes and there is no sign it worked at all. no exported file in any folder and no error message. also there is an error when i try to optimize but i can do without that if need be. Thanks!

HT201412 the phone keeps acting like its shutting down and won't do anything?

The phone keeps powering down, then will act like it is rebooting and then powers down again. It won't show that it's charging.

Do not start it up again. Take it in for diagnostics and service.

Distorted Audio -- not clipped or in the red but sounds like its both

I have a audio-distorted interview that sounds like its in the red-- but its not and is clean of clipping -- what could be the problem?

cizzler wrote:
One more question-- if I have interviews where the audio peaks above 12 and are also too low to hear in the same clip-- how can I mediate that? Is there an effect that normalizes both without going through with the pen tool and bringing up lows/bringing down highs?
Mmm...some clarity's required here. When you say 'peaks above 12' are you talking about peaks during playback above -12 dB on the Audition meter? If so, there's nothing wrong with that - that's pretty normal. When you say 'too low to hear in the same clip' are you talking about too low to hear it when it's being recorded, or too low to hear afterward when you play it back? If it's peaking at -12 dBFS, you should be able to hear it completely clearly.

Help with a key that popped off!

Hi! I was wondering if someone could help me. My dog jumped up on my lap and ripped my apple key off. How do you get these back in?? It is the apple key to the left of the space bar. Thanks!

Look at the underneath side of the key. Are all the little prongs intact and not bent out of position? If they are bent or broken, you will need to buy a new key.
You need to put the little ring back in first. (If you already have it in, you need to grab hold of the outside top and bottom and pull them up like pulling up an ironing board. Go on to the next paragraph about attaching the key.) If you don't already have the ring in, you pull it open like you would an ironing board. The front of the circle part should be down, and the outside frame on the front should come up. Take the two tabs that are now down in the back and hook them under the two metal pieces at the back of the hole on the keyboard. Take the flat front part of the circle part that is down and hook it under the metal tab on the keyboard at the front of the hole.
Next, snap the the key onto the ring part, attaching the front of the key first. Then rock it back and snap on the back part of the key. Pushing in the center of the key, push downward firmly to reseat the key.
Refer to the photos in this Knowledge Base article as you go, but, hopefully, this will help you understand the photos a little better.
Good luck!
