Looking for a replacement Russian Keyboard for MBP 17in

I have searched high and low for a replacement Russian Keyboard for my US bought MBP. Anyone have any ideas. Apple US is no help. Apple Russia won't sell it to me.

Hi CKLB,
Welcome to the forum.
These guys appear to specialise in International keyboards. Worth a call to see if they have the Russian flavour:

Alternatively, these guys sell Russian keyboard stickers which may be of interest:

Trying to replace the Keyboard for HP Pavilion DV7-3180us. Need part number & compatible parts.

I have a HP Pavilion DV7-3180us laptop. I have to replace the Keyboard because I have about 7 missing keys. I have been looking for a good replacement but I want to ensure that I am getting the lowest price and the correct part. I don't have a lot to spend on it but it looks cheaper or about the same price, to buy the whole keyboard rather than the seperate keys. Is this keyboard compatible with other keyboards? This would give me more options to find one in stock and a reasonable price. Also, need a new AC Adapter charger. I have seen it listed with 3 different watts 65w, 90w, & 120w. Is this accurate? I find the parts listed under my computer manufacturer number but I am skeptical that it is correct. I have seen some reviews where people say that the keyboard replacement listed for DV7-3180us did not fit. Anyone with any help to make this easier I would very much appreciate. Thanks.

Hi:
My advice is to read chapter 3 of the dv7 service manual below, and cross reference the part numbers or only buy the parts you need with the HP part numbers.

Russian keyboard for Blackberry

Hi, where can I but a new cover for my BlackBerry 9360 curve that will have an English and Russian keyboard combined. I know how to change the language preference on my phone to Russian but if I do that then I obviously don't know where the russian letters are on my English keyboard.
Can someone please assist me?
Kind regards

Other than stickers you might look at "skins."

HT2452 just got a replacement wireless keyboard for imac but comp doesn't recognize it and won't connect. can't type or use it. any suggestions?

Just got a relpacement wireless keyboard for my imac but the computer won't recognize it and b/c i can't use the keyboard (type) there's little troubleshooting i can do. how do i reconnect this? thanks!

You may need a wired keyboard to carry out some of these steps. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.
Step 1
Follow the instructions in these support articles:
How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard
Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
Step 2
The keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
Step 3
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
See these support articles:
Bluetooth keyboard may not pair during Setup Assistant
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference
Bluetooth: Unreliable wireless performance may occur when USB 3.0 external devices are close
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Russian keyboard for iPod touch?

iPod touch shows in: settings/international/keyboards/russian, that it is possible to use a russian keyboard.
How do I get and install such a russian keyboard in my iPod touch? which so far has only an English keyboard.
Thanks in advance
Gerhard

Go to Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> International Keyboards -> Russian and turn the slider to ON. If you don't turn the English keyboard slider OFF, you will have two keyboards. Switch between them by tapping the globe symbol left of the space bar. When you do, the spacebar will indicate the keyboard in use.

Replacing a keyboard for my 15-n214es

G. afternoon,
I was trying to replace my keyboard to use one with arabic characters. The point is that I was unable to find any tutorial to replace the built-in keyboard. I have already removed the screw in the back with the keyboard icon, but i am unable to remove the keyboard from the frontside as in other HP systems. Should I remove each and every screw in th back to remove the whole skeleton in the machine?
I am a bit lost and the inline manuals in hp.com http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03844127.pdf are not helpful to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Is that the Service manual matching your P/N? If not then you need to use your P/N at HP driver site and lookup your correct Service manual.

I work for a university and we have a legal apple vendor.Can we re-install macosx for a replacement hard drive for a old macbook?Just one example.

I work for a university and we have a legal apple vendor who we get to buy all our Apple products from.Can we (university) re-install macosx for a replacement hard drive once the hard drive gets replaced? How can we as the university IT department legally re-install macosx on a imac,macbook, macbookair etc. We would like to load customized macosx imaging software onto the mac machines(imac, macbook, etc ). The university has its own IT workshop and we would like our users to get their laptops back in the shortest turnaround time.

We're not "Apple Inc." here, just users like you.
So whatever we say is not an official statement, nor does it in any way, shape, or form represent the official or unofficial policies or opinions of Apple, Inc.
But I'll offer my quick opinion, having worked in information-systems and technology support in a wide variety of environments over many years.
Question #1. "NO!"
No tech support nor repair facility, even if "Apple-authorized", is automatically empowered to install or upgrade OS X on a replacement hard drive just because it is more convenient or time-efficient. When the repair is complete, the student should be expected to (re)install the operating system themself*!
Nurturing students (and occasionally dragging them, screaming and kicking!) as budding computer-, tablet-, smartphone-users to become digitally self-sufficient is a worthy goal that any institution of higher education must pursue.
Making students totally dependent upon "Mother Support" for every little thing about their personal digital devices is a grave disservice to both the students and the people who provide the support. Support-mothered students do become life-long digital dependents, instead of taking the required time to learn enough about the care and feeding of their digital "pets" to sustain them. Entreprenurial students may choose to become 'experts' and actually help each other with their devices, and even make money doing it. Some students may even be inspired/coerced to pursue a career in tech support!!!
*By all means, if the student requests additional help (re-installing the OS), then the University should charge the student a fair price for the service, provided that the user provides the OS on original or upgrade media, or in the case of the 'digital download' upgrades (for OS X 10.7 and 10.8) provides proof of purchase for the OS upgrade, or the original purchase receipt or other recognized documentation for the purchase of the computer showing the version of OS installed when purchased. Students need to learn about personal responsibility, economics ("What is MY time really worth"?), and proper record-keeping too!
Question #2. Regarding the customized imaging software, provide it on media or a link for students to download and install it. Make it their responsibility!

Russian keyboard on mbp retina

Hello,i want order new mbp with retina from apple online store and can i order it with the russian keyboard?in options just british english etc

Nobody in these forums represents Apple or any store, so you must contact stores directly yourself to find out whether you can buy some product you want. Apple stores do not ship abroad, so you should contact stores in the country where you live.
Since you did not say where you live, it's not possible to provide links to the Apple online or retail stores in your country, but you should be able to find these easy via Google.

Ask for disks replacement or wait for Snow Leopard?

I think I've lost the OSX Leopard disks (both of them) that came with my MacBook unibody.
In a recent post I've read that it's possible to ask Apple for a replacement. But considering that I'm going to upgrade to Snow Leopard, are the original ones still necesary?
Does the SL distro (the upgrade, I mean) contain, for instance, XCode or the Windows drivers for bootcamp?
I also bought the iLife'09 upgrade .... [click in my mind and some minutes later] .... Ugh. Things are getting worse, I can't find that disk either. Ok, let's forget iLife for the moment.
I'm using a TimeCapsule to backing up my Mac. AFAIU, if something goes wrong with my HD I can restore from the backup but I still do need the OS disks. Is that correct?
Once I've installed SL, could the restore be done from within the SL disk making Leopard disk "obsolete"?
Regards

none of your SL questions can be answered here until snow leopard is officially released. that would be against forum rules and people who do have snow leopard already are still under NDA. but regardless of the answers I would certainly suggest you get the replacement disks. those install disks contain ilife that came with your computer and apple hardware tests which will be absent on a retail leopard or snow leopard disk. also, to restore your entire leopard system from a TM backup you will need a leopard install disk.

Looking for totable one-hand keyboard for iPad

I want to carry my iPad into the field and need a better keyboard than the on-screen version. But, I also want it to fit onto the iPad so I can hold it with one hand and type with the other, so a non-flexible, horizontal frame for the iPad with a built-in keyboard would be ideal. Even more ideal would be if it had a hand strap (like my current leather case).
Surely I can't be the only one who needs this functionality, but I don't see anything offered by any of the major manufacturers, through Amazon or Ebay, or reviewed on a searchable site. Don't know where else to look.

Your best bet would be eBay or whatever online market your country has. I live in the Netherlands and Marktplaats.nl is a good source here. Where in Europe do you live?
Best regards,
erico

Replacing a keyboard for older mac

It appears that part of my Mac keyboard fried, as the space bar no longer works, and I assume this isn't fixable since rebooting didn't help. (Fortunately I'm typing this at work!) I want the extended USB keyboard with the numeric keypad on the right side. Looked in the Apple store, and danged if they don't have only a keyboard that requires OS 10.6 or later! How can I get a new USB extended keyboard that works with my PPC (pre-Intel) that runs on OS 10.4.11?

I went by Best Buy today, and their Apple specialist looked up the model number online. Reviews going back to 2010 showed it working for people then, and he felt it probably would work for my Mac even though it SAYS minimum requirements are 10.6 and up. He says it hasn't changed and suspected that Apple just wants people to upgrade their system software and keep current. Perhaps the later software has some extra functions on this keyboard that won't work in 10.4. However, he strongly suspected that the keyboard WOULD would with my system anyway, since an Apple keyboard is an Apple keyboard. So, I bought the thing, hooked it up, and here it is, working. I'll have to get used to it, since I really preferred the more ergonomic curved and higher keyboard like the older one. If I can ever find the allen microwrench I'll need to open up the old keyboard, I'll give cleaning a try.
Thanks to all of you for your suggestions and advice. This online community is quite helpful.

Request for a replacement USB cap for iPod Shuffle 1st Gen. Gifting the iPod my grandma for birthday.

Hi,
I have an iPod Shuffle 1st Generation 512Mb. I am planning to gift it to my grandma for her birthday but unfortunately, the I have lost the USB cap that covers the built in USB port on it. I have not had any luck finding it, and I was wondering if someone could kindly guide me to get a replacement please? Contact me @ [email protected] and if it helps, I live in India so even if I need to order it online/or from overseas, that shouldn't be a problem. Please help.

I'm confused... is your shuffle a white plastic thing that looks like a pack of gum, or an aluminum one with a clip.
The reason for the confusion is that you said:
"+I have only had the iPod for a little over 4 months+"
If it's that new, Apple will replace it under warranty...however if it's a 1st Gen shuffle that's just that new to you, then it may be that the switch on the back is full of crud. It can be cleaned by someone adept with simple tools and at at following directions: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPod/iPod-Shuffle/Hold-Switch/98/1/

Help needed for copy+pasting and keyboard for iPad2

I just updated my iPad and for some reason I can't paste anything onto some websites on Safari now. Sometimes the keyboard doesn't type anything either and I have to refresh it. Anyone know how to fix it or what's the problem?

So there is a Rafflecopter giveaway on a website. I copy the link to my tweet on Twitter and try to paste it in the entry box. Nothing happens. I can paste it in the website bar, search bar and other search bars on the website itself, just not the Rafflecopter box. Sometimes when I type into the Rafflecopter box, nothing happens. I have to refresh it before I can type there.

Relacing keyboard in MBP 15" - how easy?

Hi all, I am awaiting the arrival of my new MBP 15". I use both Russian and English. Buying MBP in Russia with the Russian keyboard carries an exorbitant surcharge, sometimes as high as $500 to $1,000, depending on the greed of Russian resellers. This is the reason I purchased it in the US from PowerMax (I live and work in the US).
I saw a replacement Russian keyboard for MBP 15" model sold at one US site ($140), which claims that it is an original Apple part. Is it difficult for an average user to replace a keyboard in the latest MBP 15"? I am not afraid of opening a computer and I did a lot if improvements myself to my old G5 (which was recently replaced with newest Mac Pro), including replacement of fans, hard drives, memory, optical drive, etc.
Or is it advisable to get keyboard replaced by an authorized Apple dealer of Apple store technician? Approximate cost?
Any hints would be very much appreciated.

Are you sure the keyboard you have seen is for the correct model, sercher? The one used in the Unibody MBPs is completely different from that in the early ones.
Replacing it usually involves a complete change of the entire upper body, and even used English upper cases for the unibody models usually sell for around $300. I gather that it is possible to change the keyboard once the upper body has been removed, but this adds some further complexity.
Even simply replacing the upper body is quite a tricky process by the looks of the instructions, and certainly harder than most work on G5's and the like. - see http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-Unibody-2-53-G Hz-Mid-2009-Upper-Case/1587/1
Have you thought about simply using a cover? see http://www.kbcovers.com/servlet/Detail?no=84 for example.
Cheers
