I spilled some water one my Macbook pro

Hey, so i spilled some water on my laptop, and now the shift key is on all the time, i tried to clean the key by taking it out but it didnt help. Is there any way to disable the shift key?

Spill Cleaning
And, don't think that just because it was two teaspoons and not a glassful that there is a difference.
Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
Do
Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
Note what was spilled on your Mac.
Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
Don't
Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).
Do not put in a bag of rice in as much as rice will get into the ports and optical drive and do further damage.

I spilled some coffee on my MacBook Pro

A bought a MacBook a few weeks ago , I was working whit it on the table and I spilled coffee , and now my computer is not starting , I live in Congo so I can't bring it to apple to repair it , what can I do ?

Liquids and MBPs do not make for a good combination. These types of incidents are not covered by the warranty. Considering you location, the only option I can see is shipping you MBP to Apple. Repair costs will be substantial.

Spilt water on my macbook pro late 2010- turns on normally and charges just the keyboard is broken?

Hello everyone,
I had an absolute shocker and spilt some water on my macbook pro late 2010 addition.
However the laptop itself turns on fine, charges normally and the trackpad works just the keyboard itself unfortunately doesn't want to work.. Occasionally a few keys will work, but thats about it.
I basically want to get rid of it as I have recently purchased a new mac.
Could someone possibly lead me in the right direction as to where to sell my laptop and for how much it'll go for? Or would it be a better option to get the laptop repaired and then sell it on? Either way I'm not actually bothered as long as I get a reasonable sum for the laptop.
Thank you very much,
Paris

Damaged, it is not worth much to people as the cost of repair may be too much. You can try http://www.gazelle.com/

I've recently spilt a little bit of water on my Macbook Pro 13" and some of it went into the keyboard, the first thing I did was get paper towels and dry it off, everything is except now the speakers sound different, and a little bit lower in volume, basically the speakers just sound weird, there's no word to describe it, I can't really hear any bass from my speakers

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 spilled water on my MacBook Pro. What do I do?

Immediately after spilling, I wiped down my MacBook Pro. The keyboard has a rubber cover so I'm hoping the keyboard was protected; however, my trackpad began to react slowly to my touch.
After 5 minutes or so, the trackpad began responding better, but to be safe I turned it off as directed. What I did not know is that you're not supposed to turn it back on.
Since I was unaware of that fact, I stupidly turned it back on. It functioned funny and was gray for a while, but everything ended up coming together and everything seemed fine; however, I noticed my fan turn on.
Worried, I turned it off immediately.
After shutting it off for the second time, I learned that I should keep it upside down, opened, with a towel under the keyboard and trackpad. For the past 15 minutes it's been like that.
I only bought this laptop, ironically, on the day Steve Jobs died. My mom definitely will be ******. Is there any hope that my laptop will be okay? Or any other suggestions?
As of now, I cannot open the laptop up because of the 10 tightly bolted screws.

Yes, when you said "it worked well for a while".....99 times out of 100 thats the case (see above)!

In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....ANYTHING CAN BE FIXED , PERIOD........the question is costs.....if you spend say, $600 + to repair a $600 (value) laptop (as an example) , then it becomes almost futile.

I just spilled water on my macbook pro? What should I do?

Hi j,
Shut it down, unplug it, and if it has a removable battery, remove it. After that, it becomes controversial. If possible, I believe in removing bottom cover and keyboard, then dabbing up any water that may have reached the "innards." After that, you can leave it open and point a fan at it for two days or so. Another option is to carefully position it in a bag of uncooked rice (so no rice will get inside it) and seal the bag, so the rice can absorb the water. Some people will tell you not to mess with it at all, just bring it to an Apple Store.

How to handle water damage to MacBook Pro?

I have not seen the computer as my son is away,but he spilt "a small amount of water" on his MacBook Pro.
The next day some of the keys were not working.
The day after that it will not power up.
I guess water has got into the circuit board and it is now too late to do anything but take to an Apple Store and either replace the circuit board or junk the computer.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

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.

I just dropped water in my macbook pro, what do I have to do in this case? Thanks!

aline.thiel - Check http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3053 - MacBook Pro: How to remove or install the battery If you cannot remove the battery then I humbly apologize for providing you information which could have caused you emotional distress when you looked up how to remove the battery and could not find out how to do it without posting back here and asking how. I was just taking the prudent course in trying to provide you with a way to minimize risk as fast as possible by providing a complete list of options that might be open to you given the information you initially provided us, To avoid this in the future it helps to include full information about your MBP model when asking a question since as you can see the features of different models vary. If you can remove the battery then you should do so to remove any possibility of circuits getting powered on which could result in a short circuit and components on your computer being permanently damaged.
Note the above article does say, "For issues with MacBook Pro models that have built-in (non-removable) batteries, you should work with an Authorized Apple Service provider or an Apple Retail Store. " This might include a wet computer. I will hope my colleague on this forum does not object to my posting that recommendation since you have not yet told us whether or not you cannot remove the battery and if you can then I have again provided you with excessive information.

I need some advice about the macbook pro and iPhone 5.
I took a video on my iPhone and tried to email it it said it was too big to send? So i downloaded it to my macbook pro and tried to mail it to no avail? The macbook tells me the server won't let it through other mail goes through any ideas how to resize it or what it might take to send it?

I agree with LowLister, the best option for you to share the video online is to upload it to your online storage account for example : Box, Dropbox, SkyDrive (All of them provide free storage beginning from 2GB).
You can upload the files which you want to share in this online storage and then they have sharing options in which you'll will get the link of the file to be sent and send the email. You're good to go!
Tip : You can store multiple files for backup purposes.
