Is there any way i can alter my macbook to get the keyboard to light up?

I recently bought my MacBook and didn't know that lit up keyboard was an option. i am so disappointed, is there anything i can do aside from replacing it to get a light up keyboard?

If you have a unibody model, it's probably possible, but it would be costly to replace the keyboard.
There are flexible LED lights you can get that plug into the USB port. They don't take much power and shine on your keys.

  • I bought an iphone 5 in December. However my iPhone does not support 1700 HSPA . The current iphone 5 does. Is there any way I can trade my iPhone to get the current iPhone since they are both iphone 5?

    No, you have to sell yours and buy the new iPhone 5 with the proceeds.
    Please do not double post. Asking many times does not change the answer.

    If you use the LiveSDK to authenticate the user and specify the wl.signin scope, when the user signs into your app and provides consent to single sign-in when they can go to any Microsoft Account supported app or website they will not have to enter their
    credentials.  The wl.signin scope enables single sign-in behavior.

  • I have just lost my Ipod touch gen 5 i've tried using the findmyiphone app but it seems like it need to have a wifi signal but they need to get into my ipod first to connect to internet is there any way i can track it without connecting to the internet??

    is there a way i could find it if it connected to their computer??

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • My friend wants to put music on their iPhone 5C but they do not have a laptop with iTunes that hasn't been associated with another iPhone/iPod. Is there any way they can skip linking their phone to the iTunes and JUST get the music?

    The iPhone has not been associated with any iTunes as I was a little scard to connect it to mine as I do not want all my friend's apps on my phone. Also, we use different apple IDs so would we be able to have two apple IDs associated with one computer?
    SO CONFUSED.
    Please help!

    Your friend can get a new Apple Id for themselves, and create a different account on one of the laptops. Then put all their music in a separate iTunes library, and sync the phone to that particular library.
    This will keep there music separate from your library and their brother's library.
    Just make another User on your computer for your friend to store their music in.

  • Is there any way I can use my macbook pro as a second monitor?

    I want to connect it to my Mac Pro, I have two video cards and was hoping I could just run a VGA cable between the two.
    Thanks,

    With Mac OS X v10.5 and later, you can connect to another computer on your network and display that computer’s screen on your computer. While you share the computer’s screen, you can control what happens on that computer, such as opening documents or applications, opening, moving, or closing windows, and even shutting down the computer.
    You can also share your computer’s screen with another computer on your network.
    Mac OS X: Screen Sharing
    If you can connect each computer to the Internet without changing cables, you already have the infrastructure needed for Screen Sharing. (File Sharing as well it turns out.)
    All you need to do is use System Preferences to allow it, and specify who can connect and how much control they get.

    Whether a WiFi connection, especially using an older 2.4GHz-only Router can give you good results is a separable issue. Using the mouse when there is a lot of lag is truly vexing.

  • Is there any way I can reset an iPad without knowing the previous users password because he can't remember it? When I turn it on it asks to activate it but I don't have any of the information. Please help!!

    I work as a tutor at a junior high. And we are trying to reset our iPads but we need the password in order to do so. Any ideas??

    Any machine that has a ethernet port can go wireless. It may be cheap to buy another computer.
    Ethernet Bridge
    Please note this requires mac os x 10.5 or greater to configure or windows xp to configure.
    Ethernet Bridge  "The versatile Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge can make any wired Ethernet-equipped device a part of your wireless network."  from linksys example: http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-RE1000-Wireless-N-Range-Extender/dp/B005FDXMJS/ref =sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314563758&sr=8-1
    Once configured, you can use it on any ethernet port.
    Airport ExpressAirport Express is an external unit and you can configure it as a bridge.  802.11n ( I believe you will need a more modern version of Mac OS X to configure.  Sadly, Apple uses a configuration program to configure, not a web browser. )

    Query by serial number
    Apple's warrenty database will identify the type of Mac you have.  Your serial number is securely sent, but you get only the name of your machine.

    This site provides more information, but lacks security.
    "A serial number is a unique, identifying number or group of numbers and letters assigned to an individual piece of hardware or software. It's used for various things depending on the product / brand but what is your Mac's serial number for and more importantly... what is it hiding and what can it do for you ?"

  • Is there a way I can use my macbook to project the audio and visual on my apple tv?

    I just purchase an apple tv. It was my goal to use the apple tv to match video tutorials of a certian website onto my tv. I am now realizing that I do not think this is possible correct? To clarify it is a website that is vimeo, youtube, or anything like that; hence, I can not just log into my account to one of those apps an start watching.
    I assuming my only option is purchase one of the those RCA cables that would transmit what is on my macbook into the tv, correct?
    I am amazed that that airplay does not exist exist for a macbook unless its through itunes...
