Keyboard lights never turn off

Hello,
After succesfully installing boot camp and the drivers as well I noticed that the keyboard lights stay on. I click the F5 button which is suppose to turn them down and eventually off and it does that but they dont turn off they just dim down, they are one click away from turning off but I cant click it again because there are no more bars to remove.
Please help.

Try resetting your SMC:

  • My Macbook Pro 15" Retina Display Keyboard Lights never turn on? why and what can I do to fix it?

    Ive had the Macbook pro Retina for about a year and a half and the keyboard light never comes on.
    How can I fix it?

    Have you tried a SMC reset?

    Have you checked your settings in System Preferences>Keyboard?
    You probably should have addressed this issue when you originally noticed it.  If you have Apple care, then you still can have this rectified under the warranty provisions.

  • I have read the thread about turning off dialpad sounds when calling a number. I used to always be able to do this on my 4S but not so since the latest software on the 5. Keyboard clicks are turned off and still have dialpad sound. I've NEVER had to mute.

    I have read the thread about turning off dialpad sounds when calling a number. I used to always be able to do this on my 4S but not so since the latest software on the 5. Keyboard clicks are turned off and still have dialpad sound. I've NEVER had to mute to dial before.

    I really do not think it is the iPad or your network connection. Other users have reported this very same issue. Try this and see if it works for you - it may not work - but it's easy to try - harmless - and it has worked in the past for others.
    Try signing out of your account and restart your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store> Apple ID and sign in again.

  • Apple wireless keyboard caps lock light wont turn off

    I have an apple wireless keyboard that came with my 2011 imac and up untill last month the caps lock light wont turn off even when i turn caps lock off and its draining my battery. usually the keyboard will turn off whenever the computer was off but now i have to turn the whole keyboard off everytime im not using it to save battery.

    It is probably faulty.  If you are close to one, I suggest you take it to an Apple store for diagnosis.

  • Grandkids set up ipad2 for grandma. Passcode forgotten and never used again.  The ipad was never turned off, and was never synced or connected to main PC.  No iTunes installed on PC.  Yesterday while visiting with owner, I downloaded an app for her.

    Grandkids set up ipad2 for grandma. Passcode forgotten and never used again.  The ipad was never turned off, and was never synced or connected to main PC.  No iTunes installed on PC.  Yesterday while visiting with owner, I downloaded an app for her.  It installed and restarted the ipad. Passcode is now needed. What to do?

    If Find my iPad was never set up then scroll down & follow the directions under Recovery Mode:
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    If it was and the activation lock is triggered, then you will need to know the original Apple ID & password that her grandkids used to set it up or have them sign into iCloud & remove the device from Find My iPad before you can Restore it.

  • Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off"

    Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight (cd's  / recording etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off" - Help !!!

    Good advice from Linc Davis that should sort out your query i think...
    However you dont want to set your MBP to never go to sleep...
    Adjust reasonable sleep settings...
    And the download an APP called caffiene...
    When you click it you can have your MBP never go to sleep with a single click of your menu bar... and with another click it can go to sleep normally to maintain the laptop...
    Simply click the cup... To toggle never sleep/sleep

  • Lumia 1020 focus assist light wont turn off

    lumia 1020 focus assist light wont turn off. i've done a hard reset and a soft reset. ive also drained the battery but the little round light continues to be turned on .
    i checked and it looks like ive still got warranty from nokia. will they still honour the warranty if ive updates the software?

    I have the same problem, I tested everything, hard reset, soft reset, using recovery tool to back to Cyan version, still the light is ON..  what is tyhe problem, it is ridicolous that Microsoft/ Nokia do not give an answer to this problem as many users have the same problem........

    Hi, alekswithkz. Just to verify, when you say hard reset, do you mean: Settings>About>Reset? If yes, you can try to download and use the Nokia Software Recovery Tool before considering sending the phone for repair.

    Note: The link is from Nokia US. If you are in another country, feel free to download the app from your local Nokia website.
    If the issue remains, it's best to have it examined by an authorized Nokia technician. This will also determine if the repair will be covered under warranty. Warranty period starts on the date of purchase. Please bring your receipt for warranty verification.

  • Phone key tones are audible now even though keyboard click noise turned off

    My phone key tones are audible now even though keyboard click noise turned off. i have turned keyboard clicks on and off and turned iphone on and off but still happening.

    Why do you believe keyboard clicks and dialing tones are connected in some way? Neither one has anything to do with the other.

  • Option to NEVER turn off

    I think an update should be added so we can choose for the box to never go to standby.

    I just find having to wait for the box to boot up pointless and not needed. I have it all set to stay turned on for the longest amount of time and to fast boot but you still have to wait for it to turn on and I personally would have it set to never turn off if the function was there. I see no reason why the function isn't there as it makes no odd's to BT and it would be down to the customer if they don't mind paying the electricity bill.

  • Keyboard lights suddenly shut off

    I'm a noob with an early 2011 MBP 13" i7 running Lion and I've noticed that the keyboard backlight has started to suddenly shut off randomly.
    It's only happened a couple times and the last time it did I actually could turn it back on by pressing the correct button, but the time before that I had to restart the thing.
    Am I crazy or is my mac posessed?

    Hello Dave the Revelator!
    Have you checked in the System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard "automatically illuminate keyboard in low light"? If yes, it is normal. When the light sensor is receiving bright light, the keyboard lightening is switched off.

  • Can't get camera green light to turn off !

    Hello,
    I hope this is the right forum to post this question, if not sorry and please direct me if you can to the correct area.
    I have an 08 Macbook. Never had a problem with it since it's barely a year old. One thing I have noticed is that my camera's green light is ALWAYS on. I never run any apps that would use the camera, I have gone back made sure they were all closed, made sure that nothing was to open automatically in startup that would cause it to turn on as well. Yet it continues to persist. The strange thing is that when I open Photobooth the screen is black! I have no idea why this is happening.
    I did some quick googling and the only way I can get it to turn off is to start my computer by doing command option p r.
    Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can make it stop once and for all? I don't want my camera being on all the time and it freaks me out that there are no apps using it!
    Thanks

    Hi EZ Jim,
    I would consider iGlasses first.
    Back ground app launched at Start Up but not listed in System Preferences > Accounts > Login items and available to all apps that can access the camera including a Web Browser.
    Have not tried it Safari 4 and that Favourite pages bit that might hold Mebeam of Googlemail Chat page in the History.
    The Screen Saver might be a bit of a stretch.
    I am presuming that 1) he might have one and 2) it is not releasing the camera when not doing Screen Saving.
    I am also presuming it might have a faulty idle time that makes the OS think the Screen Saver should be in view or possibly the time is set so short regular input is the only thing stopping the screen Saver from showing.
    I am not sure many people would regard it as "an App" as such either, hence my phrasing.
    The Nanny Cam stuff may be an app.
    I have Evocam of the two we regularly mention and it can be hidden (Or set to Hide on using red Button).
    That might need me to presume the computer is not shut down that often as it does not have an Option to add it to Login items on my Leopard Computer.
    Whilst Hidden though, it can continue to stream.
    This one was the furthest stretch.
    So I thinks some are possibles.
    Nanny cam is the most unlikely but depends on the app involved settings.
    As part of the specs do suggest security then we have to consider some with access to the computer might look in the most obvious places first to see what was running, DOCK Login Items (I am not sure the Screen Saver I tried could push/stream/record or alert by email if movement was seen) but seeing Screen Saver set in System Preferences may not (should not) tell you that info.
    (Says he dragging nanny cam stuff back into the picture )
    Off to bed for me with so much Think Different stuff going on.
    Catch you soon.
