HT4882 how do I put the keyboard backlight on.

Hi, I have a Macbok Pro and The keyboard backlight seems to of gone off, how do I put it back on?!
I can adjust the brightness of it, but cant put it back on.
If anyone can help that would be great.
thank you!
Kris

The backlight will not stay on all the time if the room is bright. It will only come on in low light conditions. If your backlight is not coming on in low light conditions, see if zapping your pram will resolve the issue.

HT201956 how do I get the keyboard backlight to come on at start up

How can I get the backlight on the mac air keyboard to come on as soon as the power is switched on. I am sure this happened until latest software updates

Resetting SMC could resolve it.

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 do i turn on the keyboard backlight? Pavilion dm4 2033cl

I am pretty positive that my laptop does have a backlight. However, I didn't need it at the time and I shut it off. But now I can't turn it on. I originally remembered adjusting it through the power options and that there was a little slider to adjust the brightness of either the screen or the keyboard. I could have been wrong though, since I no longer see the second slider for the keyboard brightness.
I have tried everything I could find to get the light to turn on. I used the mobility center but there is no keyboard option. I have tried the fn + spaacebar, fn +f5, and my keyboard does not have a specialized key to adjust the keyboard backlight either.
Anyone know how to turn on the backlight?
This question was solved.

Your notebook isn't delivered with a backlit keyboard. That feature is reserved for only a few select models. The screen brightness and keyboard backlighting are altogether different systems. Backlighting is controlled by a special key on the keyboard and display brightness can be controlled by two special keys on the keyboard.
The following image shows what the backlighting and display brightness keys looks like.

How do I put the music on my IPod onto the ITunes on my new computer? Help

Just got a new computer. How do I put the music, ect. on my IPod onto the ITunes on the new computer?
I downloaded ITunes onto the new computer, plugged in my Ipod, and a box popped up asking to either erase or transfer what was on my Ipod. I'd read before we put up the new computer that all you have to do is click the Transfer button and it will put all the music, ect. onto the ITunes account. Well, it didn't work. The page where it shows the bar that shows the memory is on the ITunes and shows exactly what it did on the old computer, but that's it. There's no music, nothing. I logged on to my ITunes account, that did nothing. What can I do? There has to be SOMETHING. Thanks so much!

1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

How can I put the report generated by a program into a File?

Hi all,
   How can I put the report generated by a program into a File?It can be in TXT format or excel format which ever is possible.
I need to export this file to memory,How can I do that??
Regards,
Shashank.

Hello Shashank,
Please ignore my previous answer... Ofcourse it works...
There are several ways to do this...
two of them are
1. List -> Save -> File and press enter..
    it will ask for the format, then path where to save it. Just give the path.
2. Using function module 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'.
I'm giving the example bellow which explains the usage of both GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.
To do this... you need to have folder with name 'TEST' and a .txt file in it with name 'test'. And contents of it are :
TEST1             ,BOT
TEST2             ,BOT
TEST3             ,BUT
with spaces.
REPORT zssr_bdc .
DATA: BEGIN OF g_t_itab OCCURS 0,
        matnr LIKE mara-matnr,
        maktx LIKE makt-maktx,
      END OF g_t_itab.
DATA: g_t_bdcdata TYPE TABLE OF bdcdata.
DATA: path TYPE string,
      path1 type string.
path = 'C:\Documents and Settings\ssr3kor\Desktop\TEST\test.txt'.
path1 = 'C:\Documents and Settings\ssr3kor\Desktop\TEST\test1.txt'.
*contents of test.txt    *
*TEST1             ,BOT *
*TEST2             ,BOT *
*TEST3             ,BUT *
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
    filename = path
TABLES
    data_tab                      = g_t_itab.
LOOP AT g_t_itab.
WRITE:/1(18) g_t_itab-matnr, 20(40) g_t_itab-maktx.
ENDLOOP.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
   filename = path1
   filetype                      = 'ASC'
TABLES
    data_tab                      = g_t_itab.
Now you will get one .txt file with name 'TEST1.TXT' in the TEST folder.

I've recently formatted my 10.7.4 mountain lion MacBook from 2007. The hard drive is wiped and I think it deleted to OS too. How do I put the OS back on it?

I've recently formatted my 10.7.4 mountain lion MacBook from 2007. The hard drive is wiped and I think it deleted to OS too. How do I put the OS back on it?

Wiping the drive does indeed delete the OS. Try this -
Boot to the Lion (10.7.4 is Lion not Mountain Lion) recovery partition by restarting the computer and holding down the command and R keys during startup.
If this works, reinstall from here. You must be connected to the Internet to do this.
If this does not work, possibly because you reformatted the recovery partition as well, you will need to reinstall from your original disks (assuming it came with 10.6 or earlier.) Boot to the disk by holding down the C key during startup and run the installer.
Best of luck.

I had my computer worked on and did not back up my itunes library. how do i put the songs on my ipod back to the itunes library

I had my computer worked on and did not back up my itunes library. Now the only music I have is on my ipod. How would I put the music on my ipod back into my itunes music library?

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.
The exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
You should always maintain a backup copy. This is very important.

I purchased songs and now how do I put the songs on my nano 7

Open iTunes and plug in your iPod. On the left sidebar there should be your iPod name (If you can't find the sidebar, go to iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar), go to your iTunes playlist and drag the songs you want to your iPod. For all of the songs, go to your iPod music library, even if you don't have songs, and on the bottom there should be a blue-ish bar. There might be a box saying "Autofill from iTunes library" click that ONLY if you want ALL songs from your iTunes to your iPod.
