Green light for volume and brightness
Hi,
I have a T-61. I just found out that the green light that shows up in the lower center of my moniter for volume and brightness has disappeared. Could someone help me to have the green light back on again?
Thanks,

Solved!

Are you talking about something like this?
If so, I believe you will need the hotkey driver for your T61, available here:

How do I remove the on-screen volume and brightness displays?
The on screen displays for volume and brightness controls on my ProBook 455 really lag behind pressing the buttons and aren't terribly helpful anyway. Can I remove them? I've seen people ask in the past and they are told about something called an "HP On Screen Display" or a "MediaSmart Menu." But my notebook doesn't have either. Does someone know another name for the thing I need to remove in order to get rid of this useless display?
Thanks.SSetting- mail, contact and calendar- show in app switcher -off

I have a MacBook Pro. My mac can detect wifi. But will not connect anywhere. I did get connected via TCP/IP settings but I can't connect to any wifi anywhere. Network diagnostic has a green light for wi-fi and wi-fi settings. Red light for the rest. (Network settings, ISP, Internet and server.)
Hello NotAppleSavy,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

For the past 2 days Airport Extreme works for about 5 minutes and then will not receive or send e-mail messages, or let Safari work. The only way I can send or receive is to unplug Airport Extreme for a few seconds, reconnect and then work frantically for 5 minutes before it does the same thing. The green light stays on and the diagnostics tells me nothing is wrong even though no mail is moving.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Greg

Volume and brightness keys not working with new keyboard on imac
I just purchased a new wired keyboard for imac and brightness and volume control keys not working . i have tried adjusting keyboard settings. I have software version 10.5.8. Do I need to upgrade software. Thank you for any help.
Do you have "Automatically Adjust Brightness" check box ticked in System Preferences > Displays > Display ? If so, you can't manually adjust brightness.

I have problems using the volume and brightness keys on my keyboard. I've been using these shortcuts on my keyboards without pressing fn before. Nonetheless, all these keys didn't work all of a sudden, even if I try to press fn+f1/f2/f10/f11/f12.
I tried to restore the window system back to some other days and those keys work out fine. I just want to fix this problem. I want to only have to press f11 to change the volume just like the OS system does!
Please help It's so inconvenient!!!Thanks for your reply. It is true that the diamond icon does not run upon startup anymore. It used to run automatically whenever I start my window. I tried to run MSCONFIG but it shows that the keybrdmanage.exe is running.
Nonetheless, I tried to go RUN and choose the bootcamp file and under that file there is a keyboardmanger.exe file and once I click those keys work fine again. Is there a way to auto run bootcamp by itself so that I don't have to run all these steps again? I tried to choose always show the bootcamp icon in the task bar but unfortunately it doesnt work. =[
Can you please tell me what to do? -
Screen is black, no fan is running, LED lights for volume is on/off
On a random day, I opened up laptop to use and hit the power button, everything turned on but the screen slowly went white. turned back off & then back on & still did same thing. A couple months later, tried to use it again, LED lights for volume, network, and light on front of laptop are lit, but everything else is not; screen is black, no fan running. This is only when I plug an HDMI cable from one laptop to another. Laptop was plugged into charger, when it is unplugged of hdmi, it is completely useless. Is there some way I can get the files back that i had on the laptop? my brother said a while back that it is completely shot. Id really appreciate some help & if anyone knows the fees I would have to get it fixed by HP or best buy, that'd be great! ( if it is even worth fixing, let me know.)
If you want us to help, then tell us what kind of laptop we are discussing. What are you trying to do by running an hdmi cable from one laptop to another? It will do nothing so don't do it. You can check to see whether it is the motherboard or the screen by connecting an external monitor and see if it gets a picture on the external screen. You can get your data off by removing the hard drive and using an adapter to connect it to another computer.

How to get xfce-notifyd to display Thinkpad T40 volume and brightness
I'm running XFCE 4.8 on a Thinkpad T40. The volume and brightness buttons are wired directly to the hardware, and I can also view the current level of the volume and brightness in /proc/acpi/ibm/.
cat /proc/acpi/ibm/volume returns something like:
level: 1
mute: off
and cat /proc/acpi/ibm/britghtness has something like:
level: 7
commands: up, down
commands: level <level> (<level> is 0-7)
The "level" numbers change appropriately. In XFCE I know that notifications are working properly by testing it via the Settings panel and doing a notify-send test. How do I link the notifications to the volume and brightness to get their respective notifications to appear?
Thanks very much!OK, here's how the volume bar works in all Media Center (2004-2005) and how to change it :
Create a .txt file with the following :
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Media Center\VolumeDisplay]
"Disable"=dword:00000000
"FontSize"=dword:00000024
"Color"=dword:00ffffff
"Timeout"=dword:000003e8
Don't include the --------
Now here are what the settings do:
Disable: (enable or disable the volume bar)
- 00000000 (bar is shown)
- 00000001 (bar is hidden)
FontSize: (decide the font sized used to display the word "volume")
- 00000024 is font size 36 (it's hexadecimal value), for exemple 00000014 is fontsize 20, etc..
Color: (the color of the control bar and of the word "volume")
00ffffff corresponds to white, 00000000 corresponds to black. also hexadecimal.
If you want an easy way to find out, just check the color you want in HTML:
If HTML is #00AAFF for exemple, then you need to put value 00FFAA00, or for HTML #556677, the value will be 00776655
Timeout: (it represent the duration of displaying the volume bar)
000003e8 corrsponds to 1000 ms = 1 seconde. For exemple, 1,5 second is 000005dc, or 2 second is 000007d0
So replace accordingly the above with the value that you like, save as "bar.reg" then double click on it and reboot the PC!
Enjoy, it was quite a hassle to find those keys because they don't exist initially! (and because for each try, I must reboot.. :/ )
Later,
Alcahest
ps: it works on ALL Qosmio machines ;) -
Volume and brightness buttons don't work anymore
I did a complete restore from factory DVD and since then the volume and brightness buttons don't work anymore. I have an All-in-One AE1900. Anybody can help me fix this problem? Since I do not have the original keyboard anymore, I can't use the hot key combination to do it. Thanks for your help.
I've had this same problem, but when I am using "Parallels" to run windows programs on my new Macbook Air, with an external Mac LED Cinema Display, the brightness keys on the external apple keyboard do not work. Sound seems to work fine. They work fine in Mac mode.
Any solutions? -
Can I disable the yellow volume and brightness bars that pop up when using the function keys?
I upgraded to windows 8 and it has volume and brightness meters that pop up automatically, and they are nicer looking than the big yellow lenovo ones. Plus having 2 bars is redundant. How can I disable the lenovo ones so I can just have the windows 8 ones? I had just the windows 8 ones until the lenovo driver package installed itself automatically.
hi caseyls,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
AFAIK the Indicator for Brightness and volume are Installed via Lenovo Energy Management Software.
Try uninstalling the sOftware from (Control Panel / Uninstall a program)
And it should disable it.

wireless keyboard won't connect to iMac, when i press the on button the green light comes on and then blinks twice, i can't type my name/password to log in, please help
Impossible, there are zero, as in none, zip, nadda viruses for OS X. If you have viruses on it they are for MS Windows and will not affect OS X. I suspect the hard disk has crashed, if you have backup then it's not a big deal to have it changed, just take it into your local Apple Store or AASP for service. If you have not been backing it up you may be in for a painful lesson on why backup is critical.

My mac won't restart, shut down, or go to sleep. And the volume and brightness does not work as well.
Connect the computer to the power.
Hold the power button down for 10 seconds or more.

Could be an early retirement problem. There is no fixed lifespan for anything, as you know. Find a friend with a keyboard and test that in your machine. That will show if it is your keyboard or your computer. We can progress from there.
