I accidentally spilled tea on my macbook and the keyboard is sticky, I took off the key "A" and now I can't put it back on. What can I do or where can I take it so it can be fixed?
So is that key the only thing that does not work? How much tea was spilled and did it dry out completely or ? Was there sugar in the tea?
If the key is the only thing, I'd take it to the nearest Genius Bar and ask if they could pop it back in.

Firefox start page disappeared from bookmark list and now I can't put it back. Whats going on?
HP win 7 machine. Use firefox to open Charter email: no problem. Recently, my gmail acct (which I use infrequently) has appeared as my default , which I do not prefer, but cannot seem to change. While on the Charter email page, today, I tried to access Forefox start from my bookmark menu. It disappeared from the bookmark list. Got to the start page through a different route, but it would not bookmark at all.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).

My 4 yo cousin took a sip of tea, didn't like it and accidentally spilled it on my macbook's keyboard. I immediately dried it using towel and restart to see if there could be any possible damage I can see before I knew that it should be turned off. I didn't notice anything wrong though, the keyboard were functioning normal but I can't be sure that there's no liquid inside. I think that amount of the tea wasn't that significant since my cousin spilled it from his mouth but I can't be sure still. Is there anything I can do to make sure there's nothing wrong? I now leave it turned off and place it in front of a fan to dry more. Thanks

That wont accomplish anything
Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.

I just downloaded the new iOS 5.0 and did all of the backup prompted steps beforehand, but I can't figure out how to get all of my apps and music back on my iPhone. Where did they go and how can I put them back on my iPhone?
Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

In Mail 7.3 on my Retina MacBook Pro on OS 10.9.4, how can I type from the keyboard into a mail message using the Apple Symbols font?
When I select the Apple Symbols font from the list accessed from under Format/"Show fonts"/collection-all fonts/Apple Symbol, and then continue typing, I get normal letters, if in a slightly different font.
How can I type using the Apple Symbol font? I want to use that font to include keyboard and cursor selections of actual screen symbols to help write easily understood explicit computer lesson emails to my 92 year-old mom from a few hundred miles away.

I made a mistake in my macbook air now in my macbook air showing windows how can i put it back again to macbook air
You need to provide a lot more detail as to what you did.
Were you setting up bootcamp?
Did you blindly install Windows without using bootcamp?
If you set up bootcamp, press and hold the option key when you hear the start up bong until the screen shows both operating systems.You can then select the one that you want. -

My sister spoiled water into my macbook pro and the power went off in two seconds. I took off the cover and dried the water with tissues. Still it doesnt work. What do i do?
Do you mean when the water was spilled on it, it shut down? That would indicate a major internal short occured.
Really, I'd say you need to take it into Apple or an Apple authorized repair center and get it looked at. Odds are you've got a significantly damaged device that will require professional repair and parts replacement to get working again. -
Im using intel macbook pro 13" and since I'm using the new OSX Lion, the keyboard backlit won't turn off and it's eating up my precious battery. Im always mobile so this is very important. Apple doing something to fix this bug immediately?

I don't think you have a case.

I am very used to using a PC for Photoshop and just recently changed to Mac. I tried plugging in a different but the keyboard shortcuts arent like Windows version
shldr2thewheel wrote:
Since you have a mac, learn how to use Photoshop for Mac and stop thinking about Windows. Time to let go and learn how to use programs for Mac.
This is pretty horrible advice. 95% of Photoshop works the same on Mac and PC. Almost all of the keyboard shortcuts are identical except that Ctrl becomes Command and Alt becomes Option (same key anyway). The menus are all the same.
shldr2thewheel wrote:
Also, when using PS on a Mac, their is no option to enable "windows keyboard mode" in OS X. I know, I have used PS on a PC and currently use it on a Mac. You have no option but to learn how to use it on a Mac. If you are comfortable with Windows, purchase a copy of Windows and run it in Boot Camp or a virtual machine and purchase a copy of PS for windows. Then when in Windows, I believe you can use MS shortcuts.
This is also (mostly) incorrect advice.
If you look in the Keyboard system preference, and you click Keyboard Shortcuts, you will find a shortcut called "Move focus to the menu bar." Once this happens, you can type ahead to menus and commands, much like the alt menu shortcuts in Windows. If you wanted to open the Duplicate command, it would be Ctrl-F2 to activate the menu bar (edit that shortcut if you don't like it), then type I and Enter to drop the Image menu, then type D and Enter to open Duplicate. If there were two D commands, you would type ahead until the letters are different. You can use the spacebar instead of Enter, and Esc does the same as Windows. I just tried all this in CS5 and it works fine. The advantage over Windows is that you do not need to memorize the alt shortcuts, because it's based on the command name you want instead of an arbitrary letter in the middle of the name.
As jasdril said, you can simply edit the direct shortcuts too. But in most cases there should be no need to because as I said, most are the same anyway.
In short, there is plenty of keyboard-driven flexibility there for anyone willing to adapt just a little tiny bit.
The second advice that is not so good is recommending a Windows virtual machine. That'll slow down Photoshop, in addition to using up a lot of RAM and CPU that Photoshop really needs. The Mac version of Photoshop being native, would run at a proper speed.
The last possibly bad decision in this thread is TTro787 deciding to take the Mac back to the store, ignoring a quarter century of history of the Mac as a well-established graphic design and photo workstation. If you don't think the Mac is going to work well for Photoshop, it isn't going to be because of the Mac... the Mac is not just for Starbucks posers. Too many smart scientists (who want to use the Unix-based OS) and competent designers use Macs.
In short there is a whole lot of intolerance and assumed differences in this thread by both Mac and Windows zealots, which is too bad. Photoshop is mostly the same on Mac and Windows unless you're trying really hard to make it not work. -
I want to buy MacBook pro but I'm wandering for the keyboard could Mac's shop change the keyboard into Arabic keyboard. I want to buy 2 laptops .

These are user to user technical assistance forums, and nobody here represents Apple or any store. In order to find out whether you can buy something at a particular store, you really need to find some way to contact the store directly. -

GUI organization is messed up - how can I put it back the way it was
SQL Developer 2.1.1.64
was running fine, then somehow the GUI got messed up so now connections view takes up half the screen and I can't see the SQL windows and the tables windows. How can I put it back to the way it was? Any time I try to drag and move a window around, it gets worse. I would like to have the connections view only in the left quarter of the window as the default.If you simply want to reset everything to default you can backup/delete the settings directory usualli located in:
Win 7
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\systemXXXXXX
Win XP
documents and settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\SQL Developer\systemXXXXXXMind you will lose all your other settings along with the layout, you may want to at least export your connections before trying.
The layour file itself should be somthing called windowinglayout.xml located somewhere in the above config directory, but last time i checked deleting only this file had no effect.
