How can I get my keyboard lights to come on?

How can I get my keyboard lights to come on? When I press the button to turn them up higher, I get a sign meaning I cannot do that. Any help?

MegoStello,
There are a few situations when you won't see the keyboard light up as much as you might. If you're in a bright place or outside, the keyboard backlight won't come on. If you're on battery, your MBP may reduce power consumption by cutting off your backlit keyboard.
On the other hand, you'll nearly always see the backlit keyboard if you're plugged in. In short, your MBP tries to manage your power usage according to your needs.
MegoStello, if you found this info moderately useful, let me know in this thread. That's how I know if my info is what you need!

    If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
    Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
    Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option

  • How can I get back my lighting styles?

    Hi,
    I took away all the lighting styles (17 of them) from my Photoshop Elements by mistake, not understanding that they would disappear
    completely. I cannot seem to find them anywhere on my coomputer any more. How can I get them back?

    Thank you for the answers so far. As to hatstead's link, I'll check that out. As to R Kelly's comments, yes, I am talking about the styles in Filter-Render-Lighting Effects (although my version is in Swedish). The problem is, I likely do not have another version at home or anywhere else, plus I am afraid I have thrown the disk away when cleaning (why did I ever do that? sigh!) - the program came with my desktop in 2007 and I never bothered much about it until I started playing with it lately - and then this mistake happened. I believed the "take away" button in lighting effects just meant that the style then on top would go away from the picture I was working on, but I was wrong...

  • How can I get the keyboard commands to do what they are spozed to do?

    Some keyboard commands work OK. But some do unexpected things. For example, when I press the F11 key in InDesign, the page parts like a curtain opening leaving the empty desktop; the same key toggles the page back again. What the F11 key should do is open the Paragraph Style palette. Strangely, the "single-digit" commands -- F5, F6, etc. work OK. But those with 2 digits -- F11, F12 -- do not. (This is a G5 iMac with the original keyboard.) How can I fix this?

    That's Apple's Exposé at work. To change the keys for that, go into System Preferences, then Dashbord & Exposé (top row, second in). You can change the keys, disable it, or assign corners of the screen to do it.
    Conversely, you could go into InDesign -> Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts and change the Paragraph style pallete (gotta dig for that) command to Command f-keys.
    I'd actually do the second one, as easy access to Exposé just rules - once you get used to it, it will be second nature. It's especially helpful when you have a pile of Photoshop and InDesign windows open, and need to find one particular one, or need to see something on the desktop.

  • How can I get the keyboard to work ?

    I am using a Windows disc that has multiple software versions of the Windows OS and must choose A-J to get the Windows XP-SP2 version. The problem is that at this point of the install there does not appear to be any drivers for keyboard function. I am using Leopard. I don't believe I had this issue with Tiger. I have tried using the original Apple keyboard which does not work at this point. I have an old windows KB but it does not have a USB plug. Is there a way to get keyboard function at this point of the install. Thank you in advance for any advice.

    I want to clarify my problem. When Boot Camp starts and brings you to the windows screen,this is where my problem exists. I have a corporate cd that has multiple Windows programs on it, Window XP SP2 being one of them. This is choice G. At this point in the start up I have no keyboard control. I did try removing all USB devices and used the original Mac keyboard with no luck. Interestingly I did not have this issue in tiger, I think. Some how prior to Leopard I was able to access the choice in the DOS screen. I'm thinking that this may be an issue with the firmware but I am not sure. The firmware is up to date. If you have any other suggestions other than spending $200 on a Windows XP disc I would love to hear about it. If I open the Corporate DVD I can find what I need and make a disc but I don't know how to make it bootable . Many thanks.

  • How can I get the keyboard program InKey to work with InDesign?

    I use InKey to type special characters, particularly underlined vowels, for another language. This has worked fine in Microsoft Word with most Unicode fonts. However in InDesign, the underlines do not line up under the letter; or, more commonly, they just display as a pink space or box after the letter. Simply using the Underline format on these letters is not sufficient to be able to check their spelling.

    Oh, cool! I never handle any Mayan stuff in my job, but many of my academic cohort have done so. Mostly Tzotzil.
    Anyhow: your sample font was Times New Roman. If you can't see the combining glyphs, then you're using an out-of-date version of the font, or something else is wrong. . Did you maybe start your work on a contemporary version of Word in WIndows, and now you've shifted to using a Mac with an older version of Office? THere are plenty of nulls in TNR (which are usually codepoints not in Unicode, usually a sign of some kind of hacky workaround on the part ofthe font designer). There should be a real combining macron below right about here, in between the crazy upper Latin and the Greek caps :
    So I'd want to know: what font are you using for this? If not TNR, then I'd suggest Gentium. I might even suggest dropping TNR for Gentium. Judging by your screen name, you may well already be aware of SIL. If not - oh hey, they make fonts for people who are in your shoes! Go check 'em out. The fonts are free, and pretty reliable. And Gentium may already have a precomposed with-line-below glyph for your typesetting needs.
    The Kerning dropdown lets you adjust the spacing between letters in a letter-by-letter way. Selecting all of your text and picking "Metrics" is the way to go here - unless you are a designer who thinks that the capital D is way too far away from the lowercase i, and want to tweak the kerning manually. "Optical" is for large font sizes where body-text-style kerning is too spacious. Avoid using it at small font sizes.
