I would like to force keyboard backlighting to stay on -- How?

Hello,
I have pretty bad eyes and I would like to force keyboard backlighting to stay on--all the time, at the brightest level possible. I compute in low light conditions, but it seems that sometimes the brightness of the screen will cause backlighting to die and then it's hard to get it back on again.
I'm not a very experienced user with back-lit keyboards, but it's one of the features that I really would like to have on all the time (early a.m. and late at night).
When it decides to turn off, it seems the F8, F9 and F10 keys really have no effect...
I'm virtually always plugged in, so power is not an issue.
Any suggestions?

Thanks, I'll look that over and maybe give it a try.
Yeah, definitely give it a spin. I downloaded it and it's pretty slick. I'll definitely be using it when I'm at work. I sit next to a TV monitor and in the afternoon, as the room darkens, the keyboard on my PowerBook goes on and off as the brightness of the TV monitor changes.
Odd that you'd have to go elsewhere to get this kind
of functionality, but I guess that's why someone's
writing that kind of thing.
Perhaps it never occurred to Apple that someone would want to force the backlight to stay on. Or they kind of got caught up in the coolness of using the sensor to control the light, they didn't think of just bypassing it.
Sometimes the hardest things to see are also the most obvious. Back in June, I read the same article by Amit Singh that Alex says helped him, and even played around with some of the code. But until you posted your question, it didn't occur to me to put that code to practical use. I came across Alex's program because I was thinking that you had given me a good idea for a programming project and I was checking to see if anyone else had done it.

You could use Google Calendar and Google Contacts. Both synchronize effortlessly with blackberry (assuming you have a data contract) and both can sync with Thunderbird with the help of suitable add-ons such as Lightning for the calendar and gContactSync etc for your Thunderbird address book.
As regards the calendar, I use it to sync Events, I can't speak for Tasks. They seem to have a cinderella status in Lightning. :-(

You do not.
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

I don't have a credit card and would like to make updates on my iPAD. How can one manage this without a credit card?

You use a debit card just like you use a credit card in iTunes. You have to enter the card number, security code and billing address as you would with a credit card when you set up the ID. You can make changes to your payment method in your account at any time.
If you want to create an Apple ID without using a credit card you must first sign out of the Apple ID that you already created in Settings>Store>Your Apple ID.
But ...you will also need another email address now if you already created an Apple ID, because that first email address is now associated with that first ID that you created.
If you do have a debit card, you may just be better off entering that card information into your account and use that now. You don't need to even use the debit card if you can purchase iTunes gift cards and redeem those. I use iTunes gift cards exclusively now instead of using my credit card.

Had to restore my computer and now have music on the iPad that I would like to transfer back to the computer. How do I do this? (Operating system is Windows Vista)

This depends, if the music was purchased on the iTunes store you can transfer purchases. If it was not then you would need a 3rd party program in order to rip these files to the computer.

I have mac OS X, Photoshop CC 64 bit and and i would like to run 32 bit plugins.. How may I do this ?

I have mac OS X, Photoshop CC 64 bit and and i would like to run 32 bit plugins.. How may I do this ?

As said already by JJMack, you cannot do that.
Photoshop CS6, CC & CC 2014 only install a 64-bit version on Mac OS.
Photoshop CS5 installs a version that can launch in either 32 bit or 64 bit when you install on a 64-bit version of Mac OS (Mac OS X 10.5 or later). If you are using Mac OS X 10.4 or earlier, then Photoshop only installs the 32-bit version.
Photoshop CS4 installs a 32-bit version only.
64-bit OS benefits, limitations

I have a CS4 and would like to install Camera Raw 8.6. How do i do it?

I have a CS4 and would like to install Camera Raw 8.6. How do i do it? The reason being in LR5 when I want to edit the images in Photoshop Layers, the message comes that I need to install Camera Raw 8.6 for compatibility. Even
After installing Camera Raw 8.6 I am unable to install the plugin in CS4. Please advice.

Camera Raw 8.6 is only compatible with Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC. There is no way for you to install it in Photoshop CS4. The message you are receiving means that you need Camera Raw 8.6 to have full compatibility with Lightroom 5. But in that message you are given the option to edit a copy that includes the Lightroom adjustments. That is the option that you should use. Lightroom will create a copy (PSD or TIF, depending on your choice in Lightroom preferences) and will send that copy to Photoshop CS4. Then you can use Photoshop and all of its features to continue editing your image. When you close and save the image in Photoshop, it will appear in your Lightroom folder along with the original raw file.
Another option you could use would be to use the free Adobe DNG converter to create DNG (digital negative) copies of your raw files. Those DNG files would be compatible with the Photoshop that you have now. Your other option would be to upgrade your Photoshop.

I bought mc os x lion in my book air and i would like to transfer it in my iMc. How can i do it ?

I
bought mc os x lion in my book air and i would like to transfer it in my iMc. How can i do it ?

Well, obviously the easiest way its been already said.
But u could also burn the Lion installer into a dvd maybe in caise you want to do it again in the future.
Steps:
1-Re-Download Lion from the AppStore, if it says you Can´t, just hold the alt key while you get into the purchased tab on the AppStore and then click on re-download.
2-Wait till its downloaded and then the install window will appear, but dont hit install.
3-Go to your Application folder now, and you'll see there the Lion Installer, then right click on that file, and burn it into a disk.
Thats it.
Hope it helps.
But as long as you have to re-download it, make the dvd but dont close the install window and after burning it, install it

If you use the same Apple ID on both devices, you can share apps, but you won't share the progress I'm afraid.

I have the same issue. While I am sure your solution would work, my playlist has over 6,000 songs and hiting every song to download it is not very practical. Is there another way?
I am looking to have a subset of my music physically on my phone so that I can play it without internet access, but have access to the entire library when I do have internet access.

You phone the Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and if desired, update it to 10.6.8 and get Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store.
