I spilled nail polish remover on my keyboard about 30 some minutes ago... it is okay, the only problem is my some of my keys don't light up anymore. Is there a way I can make them light up again without getting it fixed?
Spilled nail polish remover on keyboard
Hello kallieford and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
"my some of my keys don't light up"
Well if that's the only thing that happened you're very lucky. I would have expected severe keyboard issues!
Losing a few leds on the keyboard is pretty minor.

I spilled nail polish remover onto my keyboard.
I spilled nail polish remover onto my keyboards and everything was okay. After a few minutes, the keys started not working and then the computer shut off.
after two hours or more my macbook starting making a loud vacum nosie and the lights on the keybaord were on but the screen was still black. Also the charger was not charging. Then after a few minutes, the keyboard shut off and thevacum noise shut off.
My macbook pro wont turn on anymore. Wondering if this is fixable and how much its going to cost ? What needs to be fixed and yeah.
btwThis happened just yesterday.The only way to answer your questions is to take it in for testing/servicing.

I have a mid 2009 and a late 2011 MacBook Pro, they both have the latest upgrade of Lion. Neither of them can "see" each other in AirDrop. I have reset the apple ID on both. Is there any way I can make them "see" each other?
As far as I know the older mac is compatible with AirDrop.
ThanksSo by dual-signal, are you referring to 2.5Ghz/5Ghz signal?
I'm pretty sure my Mac mini 2011 has that but for whatever reason I cannot send via AirDrop to the mini. The mini can see other computers like my 2010 MacBook Pro and send files to it, but not in reverse. The MBP is unable to see or send to the mini unless the mini has engaged it to send a file to MBP. Even then it's temporary and the mini will disappear from the MBP's AirDrop radar upon completing the delivery of its file.
So I'm a bit perplexed on how the Mac mini has AirDrop, can see other AirDrop computers and send files to them, but cannot be seen on other Macs to reciprocate. -
I just got the iPhone 5 and took it on a trip and took a bunch of photos on it. I just came home and hooked it up to my Mac for the first time and hit restore. All of my trip pictures disappeared. Is there any way I can retrieve them?
Did you by chance have photo stream turned on? If so then they might be there. When you restored your phone it deleted everything and they will be unretreivable from your computer.

Spilled nail polish remover on my keyboard... help!
:[
I don't know what to do! The computer itself seems to be working fine, but the keys stick and I can't type properly. Will I need to replace the keyboard? Or will the whole computer end up being fried?
Any suggestions?Some types of nail polish remover (namely those containing Acetone) can dissolve plastics. Think about how difficult nail polish is to remove and nail polish remover basically dissolves it. It is possible that the remover has damaged some of the keyboard components. There are also lots of internal components that may be damaged by exposure to remover. If you're talking about just a little bit, it may only be your keyboard that has been damaged... if it has actually gotten into your MacBook, you may be looking at more significant damage. The fact that your machine is not turning on is not a good sign.

I've run into this problem while researching certain topics. When all the sources are found for research, and I need to note all the sources of information, it'd be great to be able to list all the URL's I have open in the given window. Thanks for listening

It has some songs I would like to keep
There is no legal way to do this- You would need to be using the same AppleID (account)
As far as deleting the songs, in a situation like this, you should restore the iPod which will delete the songs as well as allow you to sync your own music.
For instructions on how to delete/add songs it's best to check the manual:
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipod
As far as restoring, you didn't mention what model you are using but just choose your model from here (they have step by step instructions):

Help would be appreciated I don't want to lose all of my music.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Note that none of the above options may work if the iPod is corrupt.

is there any way i can make a face time call without using wifi?
Unfortunately, no. FaceTime is only available over wi-fi. I do know that services like Skype and Tango allow you to videochat over 3G and wi-fi.

I bought and downloaded the Ricky Gervais' Audiobook series "A Guide To" last year off of my old iPhone. Since i bought my new iPhone the audiobook dont show up in my purchased items list. Is there a way I can retrieve them without having to pay again.Ty
Sorry, but audiobooks cannot be downloaded more than once without charge. You will need to have the audiobooks in iTunes on your computer so you can sync them to your new iPhone. If the audiobooks are not in iTunes and you don't have a viable backup, you may be out of luck. You can, however, contact the iTunes Store, explain the situation, and see if they can make an exception for you.

Is there a way I can make Messages pop up chats in new windows by default like iChat used to ?
Is there a way I can make Messages pop up chats in new windows by default like iChat used to ? I really hate the new way all of my chats are in one window and I have to manually open them in a new window. I miss having them pop up in a new window as people contact me.
Hi,
The Chats can be double clicked off the Messages window into a separate window and then the Messages window closed.
What can't be done is to start the chats in new windows.
It also pays not to use th DOCK icon to "read" new messages when the DOCK badge shows as this reopens the Mesages main window.

i have one computer and 2 iphones i want to sync music on. but we want different music on the phones. is there a way i can make 2 libraries on 1 itunes?
You can create an alternate library: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
But it is easier to create one or more playlists and sync by selected playlists. You can have some playlists for both phones and others for just one phone.
Here are some other tips: How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495 -
I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them? No, they were not part of previous Time Machine backups, and I have checked both the hard drive the documents were lost on and the new one that I now use for backups. Any suggestions would be helpful, as the lost files are old pictures that are gone forever. :[ Thanks!
1. Yes, if both drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
2. Reformat the drives if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and remove the drive with the pictures from the list of items set to be excluded.

I recently bought a new computer and my other one crashed. All my songs, apps, videos and moviesa are gone but they are still on my iPod Touch 4G. Is there any way I can transfer them to my iTunes Library? (Most of them haven't been purchased)
Use 3rd party software like:

is there a way I can use my external hard drive without the files being transferred on to my computer? as like like my iTunes music being on my hard drive without them being copied onto my computers hard drive ? because i dont have that much memory and i wanted my external hard drive to be the source for my music files and not my computer.
Many users keep their iTunes libraries on external drives. You just have to remember to connect and power up the drive before launching iTunes.
