I accedently spilled water over my keyboard! PLEASE HELP!

3 days ago, I was doing my work when I accidentally spilled sprite or water onto my iPads Bellkin ultimate keyboard for generation 2 iPad. It still worked, but 10 min later, it just stopped. I tried putting rice on the keyboard because rice is a fast water absorber, and only some keys worked, or the keys just flipped with other keys. I tried researching a cure, and the first step is usually take the batteries out, right, but this keyboard dosn't use batteries. Please help? Anyone?

Can you afford some new silica gel packets? By some and then shake the keyboard to get all the raw rice out of it and put the keyboard and the packets in a large baggie. Let it sit for 4 to 5 days in a cool, dry place like a cupboard. After that try it again.

Spilled water over the keyboard of my MacBook Pro.

Spilled water over the keyboard of my MacBook Pro. 13 inches. Used paper and dried it straigt away, it was working fine. Now, a few days later, my left shift-button, the ctrl-button and right-arrow button do not work. What can I do to try to fix this?
My Mac is working completely fine. It was maybe 0,5 dl of water...

Nothing that you can do to fix it. Best to just leave it off and take it to your local Apple Store or AASP. No telling how much it's going to cost you - there are liquid sensors all around your computer so the service centers will be able to tell that it's a case of liquid damage, even if there is no corrosion yet.
You just have to be careful with any kind of liquids around notebooks - liquids and electricity just don't play well together.
Sorry,

Been stuck for over a year, please help me do this

so i have this laptop with 8gb ram and core i7 as well as 2 hdd (no raid).
Now i heard about premiere (cs4) and my laptop is ready to take most of the advantage but the hard drive is the bootleneck.
Basically, all i want is to do few cuts in a video that was filmed by sony hdr-sr11 camcoder in hd 1080 60i settings. Now i heard i need 3 hard drives etc, but at the moment, i only have 2.
So is there anyway i can do simple cuts in premiere without losing any quality and slowdown in fps or is there any other software that can be better? I really don't want to lose any quality or fps with the g73jh-a2 asus laptop i have?
i also have ati 5870 video card

The lowest was 19mb, but was floating arond 30mb. Still that aint good..
I can't afford the partition magic and i heard its not good to partition after installing windows. I am thinking of fresh install, but if there is a workaround, it would save me tons of time as not installing apps etc.
For the setup
1)Can i have the programs in secondary drive? What about just a game or 2?
2)By projects, do you mean the videos that im going to edit?
3)what is scratch?
4) By media, do you mean videos im going to edit?
Lastly, what about a bit of data? Like <50gb.. Pictures documents etc

i did hdtune and was the os drive was 100mb-19mb in the end and the
secondary one was 105-45~mbps
Those figures are disturbing. For any reasonably modern 7200 RPM disk these figures should be around 120 - 60 MB/s. If it goes down to below 20, something is seriously wrong. Now that may be caused by your partitioning or something else, hard to discern from here, but these results are worrisome.
Maybe Partition Magic can help you get rid of all these partitions, otherwise a complete reformat and fresh install of OS & programs is all that is left.
Setup should be something like this:
C: OS & programs & projects
D: Pagefile, scratch and media
It depends a bit on the nature of your projects, your workflow, but in general you set up your disks in such a way that disk accesses are spread over the available disks as much as possible.

Error message:" Couldn't complete the command because the scratch disks are full" Ive try to fix this many times following different steps but none of them work and my disks equal to over 250GB. Please help.

. This error message pops up in Photoshop when i just wanna create a new plain white template. I have downloaded agentransack to track down the temp files and for some reason it says nothing matches the temp files.I have a couple of drives including 2 SSD's. I've try to fix this many times following different steps but none of them work and my disks equal to over 250GB. Please help. ( I am running windows 7 proffesional) 64 bit

Good day!
my disks equal to over 250GB.
What’s relevant is the space on the disk/s you have assigned as Scratch Disks – what are they (Phortoshop > Preferences > Performance > Scratch Disks)?

My 2nd generation Airport Extreme very slow via wireless (5 and belows mbps) wired over 20. Please help!

My 2nd generation Airport Extreme very slow via wireless (5 and belows mbps) wired over 20. Please help! What could it be?

It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference nearby that is preventing your AEBSn from providing a clean RF signal on the 2.4 GHz band.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

Spilled water on my keyboard-performs safe boot

Hello,today I spilled water accedently on my powerbook's keyboard,I immediatly turned it up side down,cleaned it up immediatly.etc. About 45 minutes later,the keyboard starts typing in all upper case letters,I restart my powebook,and I see the red letters "SAFE BOOT" in the log in window . So,I pull out my little packet,with the manual,and install disc.I put in the install disc,to do hardware test,and it gives me kernal panics.So I eject the disc,and reboot,and boots again to the log in panel.Apparently the only key on my keyboard that isnt functioning corectly is the right arrow key.Can anyone tell me what I should do?

Let it dry out for a much longer time. 45 minutes is clearly not long enough. You are shorting out components every time you throw power to it.

I spilled WATER on my keyboard!!!!!!!!

I had an open water bottle next to my laptop as I was using it, and somehow moved my left arm in such a manner that it knocked over the bottle and splashed water all over my open computer. I had tissues nearby since I have a cold and immediately cleaned up every instance of water, yet...well, the computer worked absolutely fine for a few minutes, and I left the room and came back, but when I tried to resume usage the mouse was just FROZEN. I dabbed a tissue at the mouse area, in that crack between thetouch-sensitive pad and the clicker, and, guess what...there was water residue there. I promptly Freaked Out and called some people I know for help, and I'm typing this on someone else's PC right now.
A few minutes ago I tried my laptop mouse again and okay, here is the new problem:
When I try to select something, the selection jumps all around the screen, from icon to icon on my desktop. The mouse moves fine, but what it clicks is just insane now. I have never seen this happen before.
Should I expect the rest to slowly resume usage? Or am I now doomed to drive to the nearest Apple store for emergency help?
PS:. How do I know if my G4's made of aluminum or titanium? I'm an art student who works with metal sometimes so I feel like a moron for being unsure of that

Hi, Marissa. IMMEDIATELY disconnect your AC adapter from the Powerbook and remove the main battery. Do not attempt to turn it on AT ALL until every bit of moisture has been removed or evaporated from it. Short circuits caused by the water can cause (and may already have caused) extensive damage, but you won't know how things stand until the PB is COMPLETELY dry again and you can test it.
Release the keyboard catches and flip the keyboard back onto the palm rest. Disconnect the keyboard cable's connector from the logic board. If you need something more than a fingernail to pry the connector up and off, use something nonmetallic and nonconductive. Blow as much moisture off the keyboard and out from all its nooks and crannies as you can with a can of compressed air, then set the keyboard aside to dry. If there is water under the keyboard (as is very likely if you spilled more than a teaspoon or two), blot up all you can of it with tissues, Q-Tips, etc. Remove every trace of water you can, any way you can. If you have or can borrow a Torx T-8 screwdriver, remove the Powerbook's bottom panel to provide more air circulation and give you more access to the interior for swabbing away water. When you've gotten all you can, arrange the PB so air can move very freely all around it, then set up a fan to blow room-temperature air directly over and through it to evaporate away whatever moisture remains inside (there are many crannies and crevices you can't get at without totally dismantling it). Leave the fan blowing over it 24 hours a day for a minimum of 2-3 days no less before putting the keyboard and battery back in place and trying again to start it up. Good luck.

I stupidly spilled water through the keyboard on my MacBook Pro the other night!! :-(

I had my MBP on my nightstand, was changing sheets on my bed...I knocked a big glass of water over RIGHT ON TO MY MBP's Keyboard. It was open and running at the time. It immediately goes black! I turn it over and water literally pours out of it. OMG, I've had it like 2 months! Anyway, I immediately removed the back and sprayed high pressure air from inside to hopefully clear as much water as possible out as I can. Then, luckily, I remembered I had some VERY BIG Ziploc bags (Big Bags 15" x 15"). So I put it in the bag with about 2 cups of rice and a handful (5 or 6) small silica gel packets that I keep in my safe. This was 4 days ago. I tried it last night...attached the MagSafe power cord and the light just blinked rapid amber on the indicator. I put it back in the bag...no hope left! :-(
Tonight I gave it another try, attached the MagSafe power adapter....and GREEN!!! Trying not to be overly excited I gingerly hit the power button...SWEET LORD the thing fired right up!!! A few quirks with the trackpad, but they slowly seem to be diminishing! I just had to say Apple builds a helluva computer! Now I just need to remember not to put it on the nightstand next to my water glass!! Dumb move, but it worked out ok!! I am in disbelief. Had to thank God tonight that my $2K+ laptop wasn't ruined by my stupidity AND thank this forum for the rice in the bag advice! This is my first Mac and besides beating the Windows based units to ****, they're TOUGH!
Recommendation: water + MBP = BAD. Stupid blind luck and good advice on this forum = working MBP and my thanks to all of you! :-)

Glad to hear things are working out well for you. It is extraordinarily fortunate that you did not permanently damage the MacBook Pro. It is good that you are being more careful.
Enjoy your machine.
Safe computing.

I spilt quite hot water on my keyboard! help!

I spilt hot water on the right side of my keyboard, i left it upsidedown for about 7 hours, 3 hours long it has layed in an angle of 30 degrees, i think that the water slowly streamed further into the computer, now i have layed my computer unplugged, upsidedown and i am going to wait overnight, what should i do? i tryed to turn it on but it didn't work, so, it won't start. i am going to the Applestore tomorrow. any suggestions about what i should do? does it make any difference that it was quite hot water, not that it was boiling but it wasn't cold.

Thanks in advance,
Bas van den Boomgaard
P.S. I live in the Netherlands so that is why my English isn't that good.
P.P.S. I don't know if there is still any water in my MacBook.

I don't think there is anything you can do now except let somebody qualified have a look at it.

Stuck In Boot Camp With Broken Keyboard PLEASE HELP

Hi there,
Just recently, I decided I wanted to install Windows 7 on my iMac for gaming. Now, this has worked before, so I expected it to go without a hitch.
Now I sit here (on my Dad's PC), waiting for an answer. I am stuck on the black screen saying "No bootable device - press any key". I see a lot of other posts saying that I need to press option on my keyboard, but that's another problem. I have a Windows gaming keyboard, so the keys have a Windows layout. So instead, I pressed alt, which apparently is the equivalent. Nothing. I tried all the other key shortcuts, and still nothing. I noticed that when I booted up, my keyboard lit up (it's LED), but if I pressed CAPS lock or the num key, the indicators wouldn't light up.
All I want to do is boot into OS X! This is extremely frustrating, as I have some very important work on my iMac.
Someone please help me.
P.S I have tried with other keyboards, and that hasn't fixed it.

Just generally starting up my Mac, and changing back to OS X when I used to have Windows working on my iMac. By pressing alt on my Windows layout keyboard.

Lightroom 4 contact sheet print crashes with over 12 images - Please help.

Lightroom 4 consistently crashes every time I attempt to print a contact sheet containing over 12 images. Any less and the task is completed without error, any more and it inevitably crashes. Any thoughts?
My workaround has been to export the images and create large contact sheets in Photoshop CS6, but this takes twice as long.
This is a daily task and is significantly disrupting my workflow. Please help.
Regards,
Eliot

So, I had this problem tonight after experiencing no problems with Lightroom 4 previously. I noticed that in the print dialog box, where you can select to print "all" the pages or a page range, the page range radial was highlighted and the defined page range was "7" to "7". I was only printing one image so I changed the print range to "1" to "1". And it did the trick. Crazy, eh?
