How do I fix keys that are not working?
Some of my keys are no longer working and I am wondering if it is possible to fix this without having to visit an apple store?

No spill, however I think it may have been caused by steam. I hope the vacuuming/blowing air works
Liquid damage (accidental damage) is not covered under Apple's standard 1 year warranty or Apple Care.
NOTE: If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with. They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).
If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys randomly are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys. What's really weird is that happens randomly. I've never spilled anything on it, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this. Can anyone help? of course this happened after my warranty expired.
**update**
I don't know if this will help someone but I am posting this for that purpose. In the past when I first had this problem, I'd read a post somewhere (sorry, long ago, don't have the link) where an individual was having the same problem and they stated that when the MBP got heated, that's when the keys would stop working, and they went into the MBP and jiggle some stuff around (a specific wire, I'm not electronically inclined so I know NOT of what they spake!). Well I didn't want to do that but it always stuck in the back of my mind. I had given up, really, and was planning to take my MBP to the apple store. But by chance one night I left my MBP on the floor where it's cool, and when I turned it on, the problem went - poof! It seems there was some validity to the post that spoke about heat, because my problems started when I would stream foreign dramas on my MBP for hours at night, and I would hear the fan going off all the time, and in the mornings, my "p", "enter", "0", ";", and all the function keys would stop working.
So, maybe try keeping the MBP in a cool place when it's off. Since I've started doing this overnight every night (keeping it on the cool floor, out of reach of any big feet), I have not had a single problem with my keyboard.
Hopefully this might help someone. -
How can I display images that are not included in any collection?
How can I display images that are not included in any collection (some filter or smart collection)? A smart collection with parameters "Collection - contains - empty field" does not work. Lightroom 5.
Thank you! Good idea! I ordered letters of the alphabet (space separated), and it works.

How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
Hi !
I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
That brings me to my question.
How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
Has anybody a good hint for me?
ThomasYou can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

Thanks so much for providing that information sidmorgy. There are options available to do a media retrieval that may provide help with retrieving available ring tones that were previously purchased. You can access the steps here http://vz.to/102YOjg to see if that option will work for you. Please keep us posted on the outcome.

i have a hp pavilion g6 4GB i3 core 64 bit windows . i think the warrenty has expired as it is a refurbished laptopHello momomhammed:
I think you forgot to type in HP g6 1239as because I could not find HP g6 123sa. This is the only steps they give for your lat top. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01458194&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=uk&dlc=en&lc... I would do the reset direction first then do the update drives for it. To see if that fixes the issue. If it doesn't then yout computer needs repairing. frrw. -

I am experiencing issues with 6 keys (6, y, h, n, =, /) on my very old MacBook Pro, when I boot up my laptop these keys just dont work anymore.
But when I used the keyboard viewer it works, can anybody help me or guide me on how I can resolve my problem?
Big thanks!Hey PurplejinG,

How to fix my iPhone keys that will not work
When I am using my iphone keyboard, the upper row Q thru P will not work. That is in verticle mode, when laid horizontally, the R will not work.
On the number keys, the 4 will not work. The comma key also does not work.
I was told that a software restore could cure this. Also, I tried to load the new version 7 software, hoping this might help. But the Accept option would not work when accepting the TERMS from Apple. It seems that only works in verticle so that whole row/area does not work.RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost). -
How can I find photos that are not in any event?
Help! I have finally, after a decade or so, organized my events and emptied out the trash and gotten rid of duplicates. Round of applause, please. How can I find out if there are sneaky pictures that are NOT in any particular event (please dont say by showing all photos and just going through each one!)
You can't because every photo is in an Event already. That's how iPhoto works. Every photo is in the LIbrary. The Library is built upon events. SO if it's in iPhoto, it's in the Library and in an Event.
Albums are different, as they refernce photos in the LIbrary. It;s perfectly possilbe to have a photo in the Library but not in an album. -

How to delete webintelligence objects that are not viewed
Hi,
I need to find a way to delete the objects that have not been viewed in the last 12 months. We are using Business Objects XI 3.1 here. I've already looked for this feature around a lot of sites and foruns, but I still have not found anything.
We have over than 2.500 webintelligence objetcs in our environment. A lot of them are useless. So we would like to clean up the reports that are not viewed by the users. Maybe we would use this feature one time every year.
Thanks in advance,
Gustavo BorgesWe decided to clean up the old documents taking a look to their last modified date. It'll be easier and we won't loose important documents. That is gonna be enough for us.
Thanks,

Keys (MJU) are not working after repair
Hello,
I've sent my MBP early 2011 for motherboard replacement, as affected model.
After repair service inform me some keys are not working anymore (MJU), thay asked me 290 euros for repair
What should I do? Anyone else had the same problem?I never managed to get the keys to work again, but maybe I haven't been holding them long enough.
I have read somewhere that Apple ask for more than 300€ (USD 400) to change the keyboard, so I am considering opening myself my Crapple Crapbook Pro and change it myself.
I am quite ****** actually. A keyboard shouldn't die like this with no reason less than 3 years later. My Powerbook G4 that I used a lot much more than the Macbook is still working fine. -
How to download "purchased" songs that are not in my library

Does anyone know how i can get the songs to download as currently it wont let me!!
I have put a screen shot, if this helps?
If anyone has had this problem and can help, thank you!Hi, edcf.
I have experienced the exact same issue this week for a Pre-order album as well. I would recommend canceling the Pre-order and download it again as it most likely has not been charged. This article will walk you though the process.

How to remove the bufgs that are not being used
Hi,
I have a IP block that has BUFGs that may or may not be used depending on which design the IP block is used. If they are not used I would like them to be removed but the tools are not consistent, sometimes they remove them and sometimes they do not.
How do I specifically tell Vivado to remove a BUFG in the .XDC file?
I've seen someone suggest to use the following attribute in the VHDL file but I need something in the XDC file
attribute buffer_type of drck_i : signal is "none";
Thank you,
LuisHi
If the BUFG instance is instantiated in the IP or your design then the buffer_type attribute will not work.
The opt_design trims the unconnected instances during implementation. Ensure that the BUFG does not have DONT_TOUCH property set on it which might affect trimming.
Thanks,
Deepika.
