Otherwise, you don't. Backlit keyboards are a feature of the MacBook Pro, not MacBooks.

How to connect my electric keyboard with the GarageBand?

I have a CASIO electric keyboard, and I use a cable to connect it from its audio output to my macbook's audio input. And I wanna use GarageBand to create a song with that keyboard. But it doesn't work, only my voice is recorded. I don't wanna use a microphone to record cuz makes a lot noise. Can anybody teach me how to connect my keyboard to the GarageBand directly?

How to make sweet menus like batman - the dark knight- blueray?

I was watching the dark knight on blue ray last night and wondered how those overlay menus was made?
I know the tech side like AE / PS / ENCORE. But how did they make those?
Is it possible to make overlay menus in Encore cs 4 on blue ray?
Doest it require some other software / scripting?

I haven't seen the Blu-ray version yet (nor the DVD), but if the popup menus are animated in some way, then you can't do them in Encore CS4 as that is not an offered feature of the software.
Add a feature request for this ability in a future version of Encore.
Note that Encore CS4
can do static popup menus for Blu-ray just fine.

How to play with 2 keyboards at the same time?

Thank U for your help

Hi Japib
Alternative solution with an iPad?
Do you know if it's possible to connect (by USB or BLUETOOTH?) 2 keyboards to an iPad, running "MainStage" application
Becose during a live performance :
- multitouch control is much more comfortable than a mouse
- it's easy to place the iPad on the keyboard
I understand that an iPad can be used as an instrument or as a multitrack recorder, but professional musicians say that physical connectors (câbles) are better than bluetooth ones
Thank you again and best:)

I just tried to import photos from iphone to MacAir but only some came across, many others as dark space. The app thinks I have transferred them all but I want to redo the process and it is not obvious how to do that. I deleted the dark images already,

How may I reimport photos from my iphone 4s to the MacAir iPhoto as only some images came across.. It is not obvious to me, like it is with other programs I have used.

Also, you can have Image Capture automatically open when you connect the phone or any camera. To do that you need to open iPhoto on your Mac (yes, the setting is in iPhoto and that is a bit strange).
Why do I have to buy iPhoto to get to a setting so that I don't have to use iPhoto?!?! Not very Apple-like.
If the device is attached and highlighted in Image Capture, the setting is in the bottom left corner.

Moving the iPad 2 keyboard on the screen

How do I move my keyboard on the screen

If you have iOS 5 on the iPad and have Settings > General > Keyboard > Split Keyboard enabled then you can split the keyboard into halves at the bottom of the screen by dragging it apart (with one finger on each half), otherwise you can't move it

Canon Powershot SX60 HS video performance in the dark?

When I shoot videos indoors, not too dark really, with 1920x1080 (60p), noises occur everywhere. I tried tuning it into 1920x1080 (30p) but it didnt capture the image as delicate as I wanted. How can I improve its performance in the dark? Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would guess it depends on how dark the room really is. The SX60 has a very small sensor in it and starts to get noisy if the lighting is too low. That camera does not have a real fast lens and quickly loses light catching ability as you zoom in. Can you add some additional lighting to help your situation? I realize that may not be a possibility. Is there any way you can increase the ISO setting just a bit, or make sure the aperture is as close to f3.4 when shooting? These may not be available in video modes, but if they are, it could help you.
Cameras with larger sensors and brighter lenses will generally do better in lower light situations. If you are doing a lot of shooting in the dark you might need to consider a second camera with these traits.

I thought the keyboard was meant to light up in the dark!?!?

hi
my macbook (13.3 inch, 24GHz intel core duo) is about a day old now.
I thought the keys were meant to light up in a greeny colour?!?!
thanx to tell me if im right or not and if im confusingit with another mac!
If i am right then how do you get the keys to light up?

There are dozens of USB-powered lights to choose from. Most have small gooseneck stems that terminate in a USB connector on one end & an LED lamp assembly on the other, allowing you to position the light as needed. A few have a short cable & a clip-on lamp assembly, which you could clip to the MacBook's screen edge.
Different models have different numbers of LED's in various configurations. Some produce a small spotlight effect & won't illuminate much of the keyboard, others have a broader beam, but most won't illuminate the keyboard evenly from edge to edge like the built-in backlighting on the higher priced Mac laptops. OTOH, they can be pointed at other objects, like a paper document next to the computer, if necessary.
These lights draw power from the MacBook's (or any other) USB port, so they don't require a separate power source. An alternative is any of a number of battery powered LED lights, especially those designed to clip onto & illuminate books for night reading. They are a good addition to anyone's "on the go" laptop case, not just for keyboard illumination but also for things like examining network connectors in dark recesses.
They are usually very inexpensive, often $3 or less for the battery powered kind & usually under $10 for the USB ones if you buy "no name" versions from discount stores. Price doesn't seem to be a good indicator of quality.

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!

How can I turn off or dim the keyboard backlight?

I have a new HP Envy 14 Ultrabook. It has a backlit keyboard. I know many people like that "feature", but I don't. I assumed it would be easy to turn off the light in the control panel (e.g., in the device's settings), but there is no option. I can hit the F5 key to turn off the general lighting, but then that F5 key glows blindingly bright all the time. I want to either completely disable the keyboard backlights, or equivalently set the light level to be dim to the point of being completely off. But I can't find any setting to do that in the power options, device properties, etc. Nor has this question been satisfactorily answered in any other forums that I could find. Thanks in advance for your help.

I haven't tried this on a laptop but I've used it on all kinds of too-bright led's like on the electric toothbrush or the HEPA filter or modem, etc.: Take some nail polish and paint the bulb. A dark color or lighter color depending on how much light you want to block. Sometimes I paint the lights on things completely with dark nail polish and I've never had it cause a problem.
Since the bulb doesn't put out that much lumens it shouldn't hurt it and the worst case scenario would be that the bulb burns out and you replace it, or at least I think that would be the worst case scenario. On my Pavilion the f5 button turns the backlight on and off just fine though the power button is a bit too bright. I may paint it with nail polish. That said, when I do turn my backlight on using f5, it is much too bright and I really wish HP would make this adjustable. Why the heck wouldn't they?? I could paint that light but I really don't want to open up my computer, I'm superstitious that way.

How to start MacAir with frozen blue screen and no light on keyboard?

How do I start my MacAir with frozen blue screen and no light on keyboard?

Hey 7manya,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing an issue with your MacBook Air frozen on a blue screen. The following resource provides some troubleshooting steps that may help to resolve your issue:
OS X Mavericks: If you see a blue screen at startup
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14061
If you see a blank blue screen or a blue screen with a colored pinwheel when you try to start your Mac, but starting up doesn’t progress, you may have a problem with damaged or incompatible startup items or software.
- If you are starting up from a DVD, it must be a disc that came with your Mac or OS X retail package. Discs from other Mac models may not work with your Mac.
- Restart your Mac in safe mode. If the Mac successfully starts up in safe mode, choose Apple menu > Restart to see whether the Mac will restart normally.
Start up in safe mode
- If you see the login window prompting you for a user name and password, but starting up doesn't progress, you may have incompatible login items.
If you think you have incompatible login items
- Repair your startup disk or disk permissions using Disk Utility.
Repair a disk
- Back up your disk, then reinstall OS X.
Reinstall OS X

How to order a Macbook Pro in the USA with international english keyboard?

Does anybody know how can I order on the US Apple Online Store a new (2011) Macbook Pro with international English keyboard?
I don't see any possibility for that on the online store's webpage. I tried to contact an expert with the online chat support, but the link does not appears for me.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Kappy wrote:
No. The US store does not provide anything but US or Spanish (I think) keyboards. You have to order from the UK store to get an English keyboard.
The current options available online are U.S. English, Western Spanish, French or Japanese keyboards. You might try calling 1-800-MYAPPLE to speak to someone. It's possible you might be able to get something else as a BTO option.
