  • 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.

    Hello w:
    I think an Apple store would be the best approach.

  • I dropped my mac pro. The disc drive plays but will not record. medium drive error. How hard is it to replace the drive my self. i see screws on the bottom. Could I just order a new internal drive and replace it? Or is it too complicated for the average ?

    I dropped my mac pro. The disc drive plays but will not record. medium drive error. How hard is it to replace the drive my self. i see screws on the bottom. Could I just order a new internal drive and replace it? Or is it too complicated for the average person? Would be cheaper to buy an external drive than to replace internal one? Any advice is appreciated

    How certain are you the superdrive ONLY is at fault?
    That depends on your skill level, if you grew up tearing things apart and putting them together, its absurd how easy it is.
    For some however its too daunting.   On a general skill level for the "average" person its about a 3 out of 10 in difficulty.
    Can you order same? yes.

  • How do I get the fn key on the aluminum keyboard to work like Insert under Windows?

    How do I get the fn key on the aluminum keyboard to work like Insert under Windows without having to press fn + Enter?
    This article explains the problem but has no real solution:
    Boot Camp: About keyboards and key assignment for Microsoft Windows - Apple Support

    I'm not sure if you even read the first couple of posts at all. On the old Apple Pro Keyboard (white keys and translucent body), pressing the Help key resulted in exactly the same key code as the Insert key on any standard (IBM) PC keyboard. This meant that regarding this key, that Mac keyboard will work just like a PC keyboard. (I don't care much about the other keys.)
    The problem is that on the current Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (white low-profile chicklet keys, ultra-slim aluminum body), the Help key is now called fn and produces a different key code than the old Help key, so that you have to press fn + Enter (on the numerical keypad) to get Insert.
    This page explains the problem:
    Boot Camp: About keyboards and key assignment for Microsoft Windows - Apple Support
    Do you understand what I mean? It's not a software thing, it's a hardware issue in the Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, because fn is a hard-coded, not software-controlled modifier key. I have no idea if there is even a way to get around that, and that is what I am trying to find out.

  • How hard is it to replace the hard drive on a 21.5 inch iMac.

    My iMac is telling me the hard drive is failing.  After a web search, I discovered that you need suction cups to take off the glass to replace the drive.  I'm adjust wondering how hard it is to do?  I'm Fairly mechanically inclined, so I think I can do it myself.  I'd just like to know how tricky it is.

    If this is a new 2011 iMac, you can't replace the hard drive except by Apple as they have proprietary software installed on hard drives to monitor the status.
    Very likely it's not, as you would be making a warranty call instead of trying to replace it yourself.
    However, the info is out there to keep in mind when you buy a new iMac.

    Hello m:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    Call your local Apple store and ask them that question.
    If your profile is correct and you are in Miami, there are two stores in Miami and one in Miami Beach.

  • 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.

    and this,

    Maybe some of the other hits are more useful I don't know.
    Good luck.

  • Simply put, I do not like like the new color coding "dots" and I do not like having to press the Command key before double clicking to open files in a new window. How hard would have been to include the old version of these two features?

  • How Would I go About Replacing a Failing Hard Drive in a p6-2133w Model?

    So, the hard drive that came pre-installed is apparently experiencing a physical failure. I have a new hard drive of greater size at the ready, and I have an external hard drive which is USB compatible also at the ready.
    I am accustomed to transferring everything from one drive within the computer directly to another drive within the computer. Although I have scrapped the idea of doing this seeing as how it would appear as though this model is not capable of supporting two internal drives at once.
    So, how exactly do I go about getting everything on my current hard drive, to the new one?

    Hi,
    Hopefully you have created the external HP recovery media else you need to it from HP if you can't successfully create it using the HP recovery media creator.
    These instructions posted by HP will show you how to replace the hard drive.
    Do not use an advanced format hard drive as a replacement.
    If your hard drive is failing then there is no guarantee that copying or cloning the hard drive to another hard drive will not bring across corrupted data.

  • How to replace key on keyboard

    Hi
    I can't replace a key that came of my keyboard. can someone help me?

    Assuming you have a replacement key, or you have the one that came off...
    Place the key in the correct orientation over the spot it came off of. Push down on the key so it fits into the indent that is under the key. If you hear a small snap or click, then it's locked to the plastic retainers and should not come off. If it comes up on only one side after this, then push firmly down on that side.
    Hope this helps!
