Macbook keyboard issues help please.
I have a issue with my macbook keyboard. As sometimes it will miss out on the first letter that i type and i hate it doing that. I have applied the update that was suppose to fix this problem but it still does this occasionally.
Do any of you have suggestions, do i have uninstall the keyboard update then re-apply it again if so how do you do it.
I just got this machine back from being repaired and i do not want to take it back to be repaired. It took them weeks to fix it and they lost the macbook, then found it a few days later and they are a nightmare, they only started to fix the problem 2 weeks after i brought it in and that was only because i kept calling them.
Thanks,
I have already installed the keyboard update and it has fixed most of the issues but i still get the first button press not always being recognized.
Any other suggestions

Macbook permission issues-Help please asap...
On my macbook there are no issues with administrator but with a normal user account there are. It started a couple of days ago and since I have tried all sorts of stuff but nothing works.
Basically I cannot save an image when I click on the option 'save image as...' I can only use the option 'save to downloads' when I try 'save image as..' this error comes up...
"The document “kate0802_302x322.jpg” could not be exported as “kate0802_302x322”. You don’t have permission. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info."
Also I cannot take any screenshots and this error somes up...
"Your screen shot can’t be saved. You don’t have permission to save files in the location where screen shots are stored."
Furthermore I cannot save documents this error appears...
"The document “Untitled” could not be exported as “work”. The file “/Users/Saira/Desktop/work.doc” couldn’t be found."
I have checked all the "get info.." sections and I have permission to read and write I also tried restarting the macbook as well as strating it up in safe mode but it still doesn't change the same errors appear. However this problem is only on one user and not on the administrator account or any other general users. So now I literally cannot do anything and I've tried and checked verything I know. Can anyone help me solve this annoying problem?Hi thatkidsodope,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Air. If you are still having issues with your Air unexpectedly freezing, shutting down, or restarting, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem."

I spilled some sugary liquid on my Macbook keyboard, I can mirror this computer with another mac and it works find but I can't see anything on the macbook monitor. Help, please!
There really isn't any workaround to the cost. You can't get the parts needed to fix it yourself. Only Apple has those parts and they do not sell them to end users.
Sure you could take it apart and clean everything and the screen might start working again but then it might not. Depending on what cause it to stop working in the first place. Like something got shorted out.

Hello.I wanted to upgrade my iPad 1 to iOS 5.1 Over the Air.I was running iOS 5.0.1.It said it had an error connecting to server.It is already 5 hours i cant install this update.I also have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 with the same issues.Help please!
You're probably running into the servers simply being swamped. Thousands of people are all going for the software update at the same time. Give it a try again and if that doesn't work, then try plugging it into your computer and trying it that way.
I didn't get a notion of the size, it doesn't seem to be as big as the 700 meg 5.0 update, but it did take me 20+ minutes to download via cable internet so it's a large file. That in and of itself takes a while.
If you're trying to download it directly to your iPhone, you'll need to be on wifi since I'm sure it's well over the 20 meg file size limit for 3G. -
Recently i upgrade my iPad2 to 7.1(11D167) and now the wifi connection is very weak, I am not sure if it is a hardware or software issue, help please!

My Imac late 2012 running Yosemite does not recognise my Huawei 3g usb modem. itried to install Java bt still it does not although the same modem works with my MacBook pro . any help please
Hey there mbarikiwa,
If your iMac still has not recognized the usb modem, I would use the troubleshooting for Yosemite USB issues in the following article:
OS X Yosemite: If a USB device isn’t working
If the device is connected to a USB hub:
Make sure the device and the hub are the same speed. Connect USB 3.0 SuperSpeed devices to a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed HUB, USB 2.0 Hi-Speed devices to a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed hub, and so on.
If the device doesn’t have a power cord and is plugged into another USB device that doesn’t have a power cord:
Try plugging the device directly into your computer’s USB port or into a USB device that does have a power cord. You might need to disconnect and reconnect the other device as well, if it has stopped responding.
If you have many devices connected to your Mac:
Disconnect all USB devices except the device you’re testing, an Apple keyboard, and an Apple mouse. Make sure that the device is connected directly to the computer, and that any hubs or extension cables are disconnected. If you can use the device now, the problem may be with one of the other USB devices or hubs you had connected to your computer. Try reconnecting them, one by one, to your computer. When you find the device causing the problem, review its documentation for further troubleshooting steps.
Verify that the device appears in System Information:
Choose Apple menu > About This Mac. In the window that appears, click Overview, then click the System Report button to open System Information.
In the window that appears, see if the USB device is listed below Hardware in the Contents list. If the device appears but does not work, review the device’s documentation for further troubleshooting steps.
Restart apps:
Quit and restart any apps that use the device.
Restart your Mac:
Choose Apple menu > Restart.
Check your device’s USB connection
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Macbook Startup Issue - Help!!!!!!!!!!!!
My 2006 mac book had a start up issue a couple of years back, I'd boot her up to be greeted with a screen displaying a start up failed message in three different languages on a grey screen. http://www.minneapolispcrepair.com/images/mac%20error%20screen.jpg
Looking into the issue I noticed this model of Macbooks had issues with their hard drives and they could be replaced under warranty. Brilliant, booked myself into see a Genius and ha presto a few weeks later my hard drive had been replaced. However a couple of weeks after the replacement the issue started happening again but after a few attempts the Macbook would fire up so it wasn't really an issue just a pain in the butt!! Now 18 months down the line its becoming a real issue again, it must take 7 or 8 attempts to fire the blasted thing up, 25 is my highest so how.
My question is, what could be causing this start up issue, could it be the hard drive again???? as replacing the hard drive previously didn't really solve the issue in the first place?? Would apple replace this hard drive again????
The MB is a late 2006 model with Dual Core run Snow Leopard
Hope someone can help :o(
Thanks
DeanoThis looks like a kernel panic. Try to startup the mac in safe mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455) and observe for a few startups whether the problem occurs again or not.
If this solves the problem then you may have a problem with your software installation. Consider reinstalling os x or take a look at your system log file and search for kernel panics (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742).
If the problem persists you may have an issue with your hardware. I would recommend to take it to an Apple Genius to have the system checked (free of charge afaik). -
N8 wlan and hard reset issues, help please
Have a nokia N8, after installing Connectivity analyser beta from beta labs, my wifi reception has become very poor. i ave a wireless N router and before this date the signal was very strong. my friend has an N8 also, he tested the rooms i was having signal issues to see if the router was the problem, however he had excellent signal, leading me to think it was my phone. i uninstalled the app and he weak signal remained, i did a factory reset and the problem remeained, i did a hard reset and the problem is still there, I now have the added problem of no Ovi Suite and other Qt related app issues. Help please, this is really annoying. btw this is my second N8, really getting annoyed at Nokia now. any further specs, please ask
As synth_fg rightly points out it takes quite a bit of tinkering to recover from "hard reset" on N8. To give you an idea what would be involved:-
Download from Ovi Store website the sis installer of WordPress and install it on phone (wordpress install also Nokia Smart Install and all QT and PIPS components)
Launch Ovi Store on phone: which will download the .sis installer and should work without any error
Reinstall Social_1_2_update.sisx from here: http://nmota.messaging.nokia.com/clients/Social_1_2_update.sisx
At this point you are still without OVI Maps but you can install v3.06 pre-release from Nokia Beta Labs: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/ovi-maps-306 which will allow you to pinch to zoom on your N8

Macbook Pro Recovery Help please!!!
I have a Macbook pro i am trying to restore. I have been trying since i got up yesterday. I backed up all my stuff on an external drive, restarted, went into disk utilities, erased Macintosh HD, quit disk utilities, went into OS X Mavericks recovery. It downloaded all my stuff and it went to install. Got a huge Yellow triangle with a "!" in it. Said it couldn't install and to contact the software manufacturer. Tried it again many times, but to no avail. Restarted it and got a folder with a question mark in it, blinking over and over. Restarted again and it went into Internet recovery. Got stuck a few times, but finally downloaded. Now it starts up as Mountain Lion Recovery instead of mavericks. (Was shipped with ML) I have tried to download many times but it starts off as the download being 5H 30Min then gets to 2H 13M and then shoots up to 9H 59Min, then up to 12H 56Min. My internet is not that slow. My connection is (as of typing this) 4.91 Down and 0.68 Up. What just happened is i tried it again. Recovery download got until 2H 18Min and went back up to over 6H. I then quit it, and restarted. Reset the PRam and booted up. Now internet Recovery is my only option. I put in my WiFi password and now it has the loading bar that isn't moving, and shows no time limit. I have restored this same mac before on the same network and it restored without a problem. I do not have disks, nor do I have the OS on a flashdrive. I have googled for hours on end trying to find answers to no avail. Help please!
The nearest Apple Store is 6 hours away from me and it ran out of warranty a month ago (of course ) so i don't know what to do. Just checked my computer and i got the 5010F error. Yay..

Hi All-
I had to reinstall the OS system and now it is asking for a login. Not sure what it is-so I go back to the start up cd hold down C get to change password. Change password as system admin (root level). Quit installer and restart the mac. enter my name and the new password the screen shakes and drops out the password. What am I doing wrong?
Help please.
LBHi Sherry-
Thanks for the info - Just a brief history on my problem.
I was trying to open an application on the mac and it froze - nothing would work. I powered down at the surge protector. restarted to have the mac hang on the grey screen with the apple. Let it sit for 15 min with nothing. Called and apple dealer near us and was told to reinstall the OS. I had to do an archive & install. I think I had 10.3.9 but the system cds were 10.3.1 or something like that. So reinstalled and you know where I am. SO, should I still restore the netinfo data base? Will this effect my network with others. I back up my HD to another mac at night and vicea versa.
Thoughts.....
Thanks for your help!

I am getting a content protected error that won't allow my downloaded HD content from iTunes to play on my macbook air! help, please
This may seem obvious, but presumably you have authorized the MacBook Air in iTunes?

This may be a simple error on my part? my keyboard works fine (USB), but when I'm in finder it does not seem to want to work,e.g. if i press space bar to preview it does not work? If I try to rename a file it wont allow it? If i try to delete using cmd and delete it does not work? it was working fine earlier and it has now stopped. I've been trying to think if I done anything that would cause this but I don't recall anything special! please help.....
Thanks in advanceUpdate to 10.5.6, use Software Download to download all the updates that goes with 10.5.6 including the keyboard updates. Repair permissions and restart your computer.
Below shows you are using the basic Leopard system. -
Questions about interfaces,monitors,keyboards,cables help please
I just bought a macbook pro 1.87ghz. w/ 1 gb I would like to record music primararly acoustic stuff (john mayer type stuff) I was wondering what types of
interfaces or keyboards, mics, monitors, cables ,should I buy to get the most professional sound with. I have a budget of about 1200.00 I want to spend any recommendations? Please Help I appreciate your time:)What I would probably go with in this situation, using the limited information you have given:
Interface - Presonus Firebox $300
Keyboard - M-Audio Oxygen 8 v2 $150
Mics - Studio Projects B1 and C1 $300
Monitors - Event ALP5 $300
(really would depend on whatever small monitor sounds best to you)
Cables (firewire, usb, mic, stands, etc.) - $100
Now you will probably get as many different answers as you will responders but the best advice I can give is to read everything you can on recording and mixing. During this time, save up another $800 or so and treat your recording and mixing area. -
I recently bought a Blackberry 8900 off of Craigslist about a month ago. Everything has been working perfectly up until 2 days ago when my keyboard stopped working. I dropped the phone in wet grass and think that may have something to do with it but the keyboard wont do anything. When I take the battery out and put it in again the phone will start up fine and my home screen will come up but I cant push any buttons to access the phone. When I plug in the phone, it will come up as charging but other than that its useless. Since I bought it off craigslist, Im unsure if the manufacturers warranty is still on it(waiting for a reply from the person I bought it from) and I was just wondering if there was anything I could try to fix it.
