How can I get a replacement key for my Macbook's keyboard in a country without an Apple Store?

I'm in Guyana, South America, and there is no Apple store in this country. I have asked my friends in North America to go to an Apple store to purchase a key, but they were told that I must ship my Macbook to an Apple store. This seems like unnecessary troubles just to get a single key.
I had bought my Macbook Pro for no longer than 2 months when my 'H' key popped out and the clip became damaged. This is heartbreaking.
Any recommendations?

I would check these guys out. They have a great selection and ship worldwide

P.S. they will also help you find out exactly what key mechanism you use.

How can I get a replacement key for my wireless keyboard?

I have a first generation Apple Wireless Keyboard with a key that has come loose. When I enter the serial number (beginning 3374900K***) into the selfcare database, it is not recognised, which prevents me from proceeding further and finding out if I can get a replacement key.
Should I bring the keyboard into a store, or is there any other way (online) I can get this resolved?
Thanks.

To transfer your current hard drive I like the applications Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. They make a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive. http://www.bombich.com/index.html or http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.

I went through all the steps, and it still does not take anything. Need help.

Hi,
Only you (or relatives) know your WEP key, it should be in your access point (AP), you can logon to it and check this out.
Regards.

How can I get the special keys on my external Cherry keyboard to work?

Hi,
so I'd like to get my external Cherry Evolution Stream XT keyboard fully supported. How would I go on about that?
I know there [is a guide on that issue](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ex … ys_in_Xorg), but how do I know which keycode/number the volume and other media keys on my external keyboard have?
So I found out the keycodes to the "hotkeys" with xev, just as described on the wiki page:
keycode 122 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 121 = XF86AudioMute
keycode 123 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 173 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 172 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 171 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 77 = Num_Lock
Do I have to put them into ~/.Xmodmap and it'll be fine? I don't think it could work that way since these keycodes are probably only true for the Cherry keyboard, but not hte Thinkpad's own keyboard.

But what's the command I have to enter? I have been googling the commands, but I can't figure out what kind of "action" I have to assign to that XF86...LowerVolume key.
SOLVED it myself
I coincidently discovered that I had to install asla-utils for the command to work, so I assigned
amixer set Master 10%+
and other versions and it works. Will have to find some matches for toggling, I guess I'll find them eventually.

My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files. I am in the process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files, and replaced my music with my kids music that they have put into the current itunes library. My music is nowhere to be found on my computer, so now I am in the long, forever process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them. They may let you redownload it at no cost.

If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again. Sorry.

How Do I get a License key for Trial version from the App Store?

I downloaded a Trial version of Aperture 3.1.2 a few weeks ago from the App Store. I love it. Now I want to buy it, but, can't figure out how to get a license key from the App Store. When you start up Aperture Trial version, a 'nag' box comes up asking if you want to buy the application or continue using the trial version or Authorize (I guess that is what you would pick once you have the key). If I pick "Buy", the application opens Safari and takes me to the Apple online store, NOT the App store! At the Apple Store, you can buy the key for $199 or an upgrade from a previous version for $99. Whoopie! What is Apple thinking? The App store is selling Aperture for $79.99. I guess that means you don't get the box or written manuals (which I haven't used for any software in many years).
So how do I get a license key for the App Store version? Do I just Go to the App Store, pay the money, download and install the program over again. Then transfer my trial version library somehow? Then deinstall the trial version? I'd love to buy and use Aperture for $79.99, but, I'm not willing to pay $199 for it. Apple has me confused.
Anybody have a clue?

Thanks for the 1-800 call tip Allen.
P.S. I'm quite willing to put in the time and effort necessary to learn Aperture (or any other software I decide to use, "Pro" or not). I simply don't see the value in buying the box version when I'm pretty sure I won't be using any paper manuals. I very comfortable using online help files, having done so as a professional numerical control programmer for many years in my work. For reference, I'm retired, on a limited income and will be using Aperture as a rank amateur photographer who could use a little more horsepower than iPhoto offers.
I'll call Apple tomorrow.

The discs that come with your Mac are "machine specfic" and cannot be used on another Mac.

C Programming: How can we get the filesystem name for a given file-path?

C Programming: How can we get the filesystem name for a given file-path?
Say I have a filepath=/mnt1/file1
Using some OS API like stat, can I get the Filesystem /mnt ?
Thanks in advance,
-V

Enter the command up to the point of entering the file path and add a space, then drag the file into the terminal window. It will fill out the path.
If you need to go further into the contents of the Application package, you can continue with /Contents...
Another way is to start typing and then hit Tab to auto-complete. It will stop where it can't determine the next letter.
So, type /App tab and it will fill in /Applications. Type a / and start with the name of the app, then tab and it should complete. Continue till you have the correct path.
Spaces will be replaced with \<space>, so, App Store would end up as /Applications/App\ Store.app

Where can i get a replacement woofer for an ipodhifi ipod dock speaker model a1121)

where can i get a replacement woofer for an ipodhifi model a1121

Some items come up in a search for Mac parts UK; whether or not they have
an exact part match for any vintage product has not been searched...
Most that I have looked into, show any battery "out of stock" &/or listed "used."
A good electronics shop with an understanding of how these batteries are wired
in their case (and any controller chip circuitry) should be able to install new cells
inside the case; however opening these may present a problem if done forcefully.
http://www.thebookyard.com/
http://www.applemacparts.co.uk/store/index.php
http://www.theappleshack.co.uk/
In the US, wegenermedia.com, powerbookmedic.com, & others may know of stock.
So far, I'd struck out searching; could be one may need to contact long standing
Apple specialists & those who repair vintage models, to get refurbished batteries.
Perhaps there is a message board or User Group site where one could try & contact
Apple users; of those some may know of a source, or an individual capable of repair
since these battery units have been refurbished before with new rechargeable cells.
Sorry to not be of exact help in this matter.
Good luck & happy computing!
