How to fix a loose key cap?

The cap for the letter "R" on my keyboad has come loose. It won't stay in place. How can I fix it? (My MACBook Air is still under warranty.)
Will appreciate your help,
Berni R

I would bring it into an Apple Store and let them replace the keycap for you. Usually they dont just come lose.

How to fix a loose screen

The screen of my PowerBook has a small amount of play (about 3/4") in its forward and back movement when in the open position. Is there a why that I can fix this on my own? Thank you for your help.

Dear Bennyb,
I had a "loose screen" due to a broken hinge. I glued it to the center bar only
with marine epoxy back and front. This bought me another 6 months. If you want details for fixing it the proper way try:

Good luck

Hi Oldyoungguy,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per your query we understood that you are facing issue with ‘D’ key is not working on ThinkPad.
This kind of issue will occurs if there is any issue with the hardware, however you can try uninstalling the keyboard adapter from device manger and restart the system.
Check if the issue occurs in safe mode also.
Check with external keyboard to confirm.
Hope this helps!

How to fix a supersensitive key?

My wife dropped her G4 iBook recently. Luckily, there was only one minor lasting problem: The "d" key is now supersensitive. If you just brush it with your fingertip, you get "dddddddd". EXTREMELY annoying. Anyone have a suggestion how I can correct this problem?

How to fix the enter key not opening sites in the URL box?

Ever since the update to 10.0.1 pressing enter to open a site in the URL entry box doesn't work. Anyone know why? I have to click the arrow key to the side of the URL pannel, and enter key works as normally everywhere.
It is INCREDIBLY annoying.

Try disable "AVG Safe Search", that should work.

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 to fix a dead "down" key

I have a iMac early 2008 version. After working hard for 5 years, the "down" arrow key is dead. This is what I have done so far.
1) Remove the key cap and the associated plastic assembly
2) See a "white bouncy dome" under the key.
2) Open the "Keyboard viewer".
3) Click the "down key" on the "Keyboard viewer" ==> it works fine.
4) However, when I press that "white bouncy dome", no reponding.
5) use the compressed air to clean the areas. still no responding from this key.
What should I do next to fix this dead key? Search many forums or youtube videos, but all I got is how to "remove" and "install" key caps. I could not find a proper one to solve my problem. Thanks a lot!

You have gotten close to 6 years of service from the keyboard, have you considered just replacing it? You can find them from Apple or OWC even sells them in various states of condition.

Cleaning and replacing key caps

Is there anywhere u can buy key caps for the MacBook Pro so u can replace it?
If not then how do i clean the key cap so that the oil stains come off?

UPDATE:
After printing 10 pages on photo paper, all with streaks, I shut off printer. The next day, I tried again, and no streaks. I am considered looking into an extended warranty for this product. FYI, to inquire about extended warranty services, you can contact:

All new keyboards need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and above for full functionality.
Rather short-sighted of Apple perhaps, but that seems to be a trend these days.
I'm afraid the only fix is to upgrade to SL. Personaly, I'd take it back and get a refund and seek an older keyboard or a third-party one elsewhere.

Have 2006 MacBook Pro with wireless KB. Some of keys (caps lock, tab) are not working. How do I fix this?, Have 2006 MacBook Pro with wireless KB. Some of keys (caps lock, tab) are not working. How do I fix this?

Have a 2006 MacBook Pro with wireless mouse and Keyboard. Some of keys (caps lock, tab) on KB do not work any longer. I attempted to replace wireless KB with wired KB, but could not find one that was compatible with Snowleopard (10.6.8) OS. Would like to replace KB with either another wireless KB or wired KB.
However, in view of the scarcity of the above items, it appears I might serve myself better by fixing my current KB. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

My iphone dosen't doesn't make key tone sounds anymore when I write a text message or when I want to dial a phone number I don't know how to fix this problem, I don't hear the clicking noise anymore does anyone know how to fix this problem?

My iphone dosen't doesn't make key tone sounds anymore when I write a text message or when I want to dial a phone number I don't know how to fix this problem, I don't hear the clicking noise anymore does anyone know how to fix this problem?And all the sounds on my phone are on, even the keyboard clicks.

Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, double check the volume button just in case. If you still can't hear the tones go into your settings>sounds and make sure the options are on.

I'm shooting great white screen but when I key out the white background, I have a very thin white outline around my person that I don't know how to soften without loosing some facial opacity. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm shooting white screen and FINALLY have my lighting, white balance, exposure and focus making a great looking, crispy clip! But when I key out the white background in a short segment, I'm left with a very thin, white outline around my person that I don't know how to soften, without loosing facial opacity. I only tried using the 'Edges' tool. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

set the wake-on lan on the main computer
The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

Hi, my toddler pressed some keys on my keyboard and now some of my symbol keys such as comma, hyphen etc do not work. Others such as . and ? Are fine. Does anyone know how to fix? Thanks

You may have this sorted out by now - but if not try resetting your Language to English. I had the issue and found the emoji keyboard was set to spanish.

My wireless keyboard is generating the wrong character for one of the keys. Any ideas how to fix?

My wire2ess key board is generating a 2 as you can see in the word wire2ess. Any idea how to fix?

Make sure that there is no entry in system prefs/language & text/text/symbol and text substitution which causes this.
Try another keyboard.
