I got my Macbook air a little wet, and I dried it up, it later spammed a lot of 'z's. Now it seems that I can't press the letter z. What do I do?

It also went into a lot of other glitches, but now I had fixed it (by pressing shift + ctrl and restarting it) but the main problem now, it that I cant press z. It's frustrating too. I cleaned out the inside of it but i dont see anything wrong.. I plugged in another keyboard and it worked fine, so its just this keyboard. What do I do?

Often just drying it out provides no resolution to existent problems, and only may serve to stave off additional damage.
Th impurities in the water can conduct electricity, causing a short, which can be permanent. As well, and residual misture can contribute to corrosion, which will cause additonal shorts and open circuits, than can quickly escalate to total system failure.
If there is any chance of saving your system, it will be necessary to act quickly. Do not try to dry the unit through traditonal drying methods. An electronic device will absolutely require disassembly. Be prepared to find the cost to repair can easily exceed the current value of the device.
I advise you to immediately back-up your system, and render the unit for diagnosis and repair. Or you can try drying and hope and wait.

  • I got my iPod just a LITTLE wet, and it don't work?

    I spilled a whole cup of tea on my purse, and my iPod was in it; the touch screen works, but only a little bit. I can only move the  "swipe to unlock" button halfway, and then it stops working. Does anyone know how i can fix this? I'm clueless, and really love this iPod & can't afford another one

    Put it in a bag along with a small amount of silica gel, leave it there for a week, it may or may not recover, baking powder also works but whichever you use make sure to put it in something that doesn't spill over the ipod

  • AppleWorks last ran under 10.6; I have 10.8 on the MacBook Air.  Is it possible to load a copy of 10.6 to use as a separate startup disk so that I can have access to AppleWorks on the MacBook Air?

    Like many, I have been a Mac user since the original little guy, and have tons of documents created under Claris Works and AppleWorks.  I can still run AppleWorks under 10.6 on my wife's iMac (Intel chips), but not the 10.8 that came with the MacBook Air.  On older machines, I could load and select different versions of the OS as different startup disks.  Would this be possible on the MacBook Air to be able to retain operational access to the AppleWorks software and all those files I have accumulated?

    The answer to your question is YES: to run Appleworks on your MBA, install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels 8 for concurrent access to and use of Appleworks in Mt.Lion:

    This issue can be caused by a corrupt local snapshot index. The procedure below will temporarily disable local snapshots and force the index to be rebuilt.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo tmutil disablelocal
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    To re-enable:
    sudo tmutil enablelocal

  • I just got my macbook air and at least once a day it has frozen and ive had to restart it is there a way to fix that?

    i just got my macbook air, less then a week ago,  and at least once a day it has frozen and ive had to restart it is there a way to fix that?

    If the MBA is within 14 days of the purchase date from an Apple sore, you may return it for a refund or an exchange.
    Regarding the specific problem you are facing, can you provide more details, such as the application that you were using and exactly what the response was.

    I'm relatively new to Mac and want to try and get the most out of the new MacBook Air.
    My wife and I have been sharing the same Apple ID. We both have iPhones - she has a 5 and I've got a 4S.
    We only have one copy of iTunes and we have been sharing the account. (She doesn't really use the computer for anything beyond writing the odd weekend assignment.)
    Would I be better off setting her up with her own and making her as a separate user on the computer? Would this require much work?
    In recent times with updates, we have a few problems with the duplication of texts and that sort of thing. Both of our texts are stored on the computer and that sort of thing. Also, sometimes texts I send her are sent through to me  from her, if that makes any sense.
    Anyway, I don't really want to overly complicate matters when it comes to accounts etc, but I wanted to know if a fresh Apple ID would be the best thing or even a new user?
    Any tips etc would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    I have this question too (0) Reply

    Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
    It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
    since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours,  I dont know.......

  • My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

    My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

    You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
    Hope I can help!

    Severia,
    I tried your solution, but it did not work with my laptop. After I restart the laptop, the language does not change and I cannot type the password in English language. Do you have any other suggestion?
    Thank you.

    Hi SLCfromMadison,
    This is the message that you'll receive when your Apple ID is signed into on an iPhone. If you haven't done so, the article linked below details a number of steps that can help verify the security of your Apple ID should you think that an unauthorized person has access to it.

  • I recently got a MacBook Air and want to transfer my itunes library over from my PC to my Mac.

    My family has 1 computer where everyone but me syncs all their devices, I had a PC and had my own library but all on one account. I recently got a MacBook Air and want to get my library from my PC onto my Mac. I tried getting it from icloud but instead I got everyones music all together and none of my playlists where there. How to In get my library onto my Mac without adding the entire icloud library?

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
