  • The u, j, m and 7 keys on the keyboard are not functioning properly on my macbook air. Please Help!

    The u, j, m and 7 keys on the keyboard are not functioning properly on my macbook air. In its place are a random assortment of keys (Ex - u = "eqrw" or "IOUY"). This randomly happened when logging back in after sleep mode. No liquid damage at all. Please help!

    OK, I fixed the problem by doing a SMC (System Management Controller) reset as follows:
    1. Powered off my MacBook and removed everything connected except for the power chord.
    2. When powered off, I held "Shift" + "ctrl" + "Option" + "Power button" for 5 seconds or so until the little light on the front started to blink rapidly.
    3. Powered up my Mac, which took a little longer than usual to start and tested the "missing" keys which now works perfectly again.
    Just added another couple of years usage with my aging mac :-)

  • Why doesn't the pop-up icon indicating an ongoing Handoff not showing up on my MacBook Air dock? But it shows up on my iPhone 6 Plus. And the Handoff works on both devices.

    No third party applications installed; no gestures changed. It just starts acting up like I described a few times a day. I'll be browsing the internet and go to switch desktops and it suddenly doesn't work.

  • Why my Toshiba mobile hard drive (1TB) can not be used in the macbook air?

    Why my Toshiba mobile hard drive (1TB) can not be used in the macbook air?

    If you are speaking of the USB 3.0 Canvio, you are not alone. Call Toshiba and check on their progress in alleviating the problem. I heard they are blaming Apple, but since theirs is the only drive that exhibits this problem, I think the burden is on Toshiba.
    Some users have reported that by using a micro USB 2.0 connector (see bottom picture), instead of the 3.0 that comes with the drive, that it is a workaround. Notice that the 3.0 connector has sort of a "dual head" nature to the construction. One part of it is 2.0 USB micro compatible. I've never tried it myself though.
    Read ths thread for a discussion on the subject.

    Out of the box, to use the function keys as function keys, hold down the fn key when you press the key. Otherwise, you get the picture function on the key. You can reverse this behavior in the Keyboard system prefs.

    You can only transfer purchases from iTunes on the iPad into iTunes on your computer. If you bought the music from another source, you need to use the source app to transfer the music, or you need a third party app to transfer the music.

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Air forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • When I connected my iPod Classic or iPhone 4S to the right side USB port of my 2012 11 inches Macbook Air (128 GB SSD), I get a message from iTunes that I connected my device to a USB 1.1 port. I checked the specs, it's a USB 3 port. What's wrong?

  • USB Key Not Ejecting Properly

    Hi,
    My U3 USB key/drive is not ejecting properly from my Mac Pro. (OS X 10.4.9, 5GB RAM, 3 HD's).
    When I click "Eject" the icon on the desk top disappears, and the light on the drive goes into 'sleep' mode (indicating it is still connected to the computer, but not in use).
    And sure enough, when I pull the key out, I get a message saying that it has not been ejected properly.
    I have read of others having problems with this, and have seen advice such as trying to close down the drive from disk utility, and shutting down the computer and rebooting. The former does not work for me, but the latter does.
    Does anyone have any other ideas?
    Thanks,

    Nothing comes to mind?
    Are you opening files stored on the drive, or running applications stored on the drive?
    Maybe it's like the message you get sometimes that says "files in use", but you're not getting the message.
     Cheers, Tom

  • USB key not visible on desktop

    Hi,
    I have an USB key that is mounted from OS as /Volume/NO NAME but it's not visible on the desktop and in the Finder. It worked fine until some time ago then stopped showing ion the desktop.
    Finder->Preferences->General has all the 4 box for showing devices selected.
    I can work on the key using the terminal, ie. I can copy files form the key to the internal HDD but I have to use the umount command or the Disk Utility to umount the filesystem.
    The key is formatted as FAT32.
    Other external USB storage or USB keys are correctly shown.
    I tried also to "repair" the key under Disk Utility, but the problem remained.
    Any suggestion on what else to check?
    Many thanks
    ciao

    I tried to use USB with a virtual machine (Win 7) and them works fine.
    Only under mac.
    The image is in italian language...
    I think is not a power problem.
    I Also checked the option under Finder preferences...

  • Satellite A500-14K - USB key not recognized with Windows 7

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 14K, it was pre-installed for Windows 7.
    I have purchased the Windows 7 upgrade: I received one disk for PC upgrade et one disk for windows upgrade. I have launched the first disk, and then the second one.
    There was no special error message during these installations.
    Since this upgrade, my PC doesn't recognized the USB keys whereas they work perfectly with the previous windows version with this pc .They are normally plug and play usb keys. When I launched the windows update, a driver is found, but the installation failed in error with a message of access problem.
    I have check that the firewall doesn't block the access. I have installed the last version of the BIOS
    I don't found any similar pb on the forum
    thank you for your help

    Not BIOS update but chipset utility.
    Problem is that this notebook model is not supported for Windows 7 32bit but for 64bit only.
    The same chipset is used on Satellite L500 and it is supported for Windows 7 32 bit so you can try to install THIS chipset utility.
    Bye

  • How do I download Mozilla to a usb key, not the hard drive, so I can install it on another computer?

    My Internet Explorer crashed. As I can nt get on the internet on that computer, I am attempting to use another computer to download Mozilla to a usb key. Then, I will upload Mozilla to the crashed computer,hopefully restoring connectivity.

    You can download the setup file (Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe) from http://www.mozilla.com/
    You can then copy the setup file to the USB key.

  • Some USB keys not working on HP Elitebook 8770w

    Some USB keys (32GB) isn't recognised in my laptop. On other cemputers they just work properly. I tried install chipset and USB 3.0 drivers but it didn't help. What can I do?
    P.S. older (smaller) USB keys work OK.

    OK, I'm sure you've tried different USB ports on the notebook and no luck. Correct?
    Also, Try this . Go to your Device Manager and delete all of the USB ROOT HUBS. 
    After that restart the notebook and it will install them automatically. Try using the Drive again and let me know the outcome.

  • Usb 3.0 not working on Windows 7 (MacBook Air late 2011)

    Hello everybody.
    I've been running Windows 7 perfectly on my late 2011 11-inch mackbook air (runs even smoother than Mavericks, seems that Apple forgot about macbook air users when releasing that update, and doesn't even let me downgrade without buying the previous OS X ¬¬)
    Ranting apart I've been having the following problem: my Toshiba external 3.0 usb HD drive works perfectly on OS X (always did and still does) but i can't make it work on Win 7. When I plug the usb connector, it appears as it recognized an external hdd, but it isn't able to get the drivers or recognize the drive properly. So it just doesn't work, I can't access it. I've been searching for usb 3.0 drivers for boot camp or win 7 and haven't been successful with what i've found.
    Anybody had this problem?
    Anybody got to fix it?
    I'm really annoyed that i can't use my external hdd.
    Thanks for reading!

    maybe it's because your ext hd is in mac os filesystem which windows cant read?
