MacBook Pro keyboard is totally unresponsive (except power button). Low battery was triggered last night, and work was conducted after power was connected. I closed the lid and went to sleep, and this morning I cannot log into my laptop.
The keyboard that is in the Mac is not functioning with the exception of the power button.
Since I am traveling, without a rental car, purchase of an external USB keyboard to troubleshoot and/or resolve the problem is not practical.
How do i wake up the keyboard?

My Macbook Pro has recently started to mute/unmute itself randomly. VERY FRUSTRATING! It doesn't matter whether I have speakers connected or using the onboard speakers. Any suggestions?
I have looked at other forums and the fixes suggested do NOT work.
What would cause this?
How is it corrected?Hello DChrystal
Try paying attention to the Keyboard Viewer to see if any keys are being pressed that could be causing the sound to be muted. If it is, try it in another user to see if it is software that is causing the issue or if it is the actual keyboard that is having the issue.

I bought a new album off of iTunes the wifi wasn't strong so I left my computer on as it was downloading and went to sleep. This morning I went to listen to the songs and some of the songs will only play the first 50 sec or the first minute? How do i fix it or refresh them so i can listen to them fully?
How do I get the songs to fully play? Or can i refresh the songs and redownload them?See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.

I cannot log into my gmail or facebook account, because it says: cookies are disabled, enable cookies to continue. I tried changing my settings in Firefox - Options - Settings - Privacy - Use custom settings. I did exactly what I was advised in the Firefox Help online, enabled everything, then clicked OK. Didnt work. Tried it again and I only found that the settings (custom settings - enabled everything) were not even saved. I am not able to save these custom settings any way, it never saves them no matter how many times I try and click ok, I come back to the setting to find that they are not there. So I tried clearing all the cookies and cache in history (also found this online in firefox support site), guess what? DIDNT WORK. I am starting to be a little bit pissed off as I cannot log into my gmail or facebook account for over two weeks now! Any time I need to check e-mails I have to use someones laptop.
If the cookies are enabled in Firefox and you still have problems then you may have security software that is blocking cookies.
Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the <i>cookies.sqlite</i> file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Have a 2 week old Satellite C55-B5240 running Windows 8.1. Shut down last night and this morning cannot get past the log in screen. Checked and rechecked the caps, the password, even went on to another computer and changed the password 6 times. I can sign in with any of the other pc's but not the new one. On-line-chatted with Microsoft and spoke to 3 different techs. They all said the same things...it was beyond their expertise and I should contact Toshiba, get the Windows 8.1 key from them, and reload 8.1!! Very funny. I can't even get online let alone download anything. They were no help whatsoever! Spent 2 1/2 hours on chat with them. I don't know what to do other than call Toshiba on Monday. Please, I need help. Really, really aggravated! I hate that you automatically get stuck with the Microsoft password as your sign in password!!!!
Just a follow-up message....14th time wasn't the charm. Still had issues, and had to restart the laptop almost every time at log-on. Called Microsoft and Toshiba and recieved the same answer...have to wipe everything and reload 8.1. I told them to forget about it, too much trouble, I'll just deal with it. So, I just kept restarting until the laptop let me log in. When Windows 10 time around, I said what the hell, I hate the touch screen stuff anyway and some more bugs can't be that bad. Well, 10 has solved the problem of sign-in. So I am presuming it was a corrupt file in 8.1 that was causing all the problems. Don't have a single issue with Windows 10....yet. If anyone else has issues with 8.1, they might want to run to Windows 10. Thanks again for all the help.

Cannot log into youtube or facebook apps
As of this morning, I cannot log into my accounts on these 2 apps. This is in my home, using the same wifi network that my computer uses, where I'm able to access these accounts normally via my macbook. Everything else seems to be accessing the internet via wifi normally without problems.
I understand youtube had some problems last night - maybe their mobile portal is still broken - anyone know?Oh - did a hard reset, it's working fine now. Not the most elegant fix, but it is an x.0 software version

You've gone through all of the basics. You might look at this document regarding potential issues with wi-fi environments.

If none of that works, and if a device restore doesn't work, it's time for a trip to the Genius Bar. -

I cannot log into my MacBook Pro
I cannot log into my brand new MacBook Pro. After entering my password, it just sat greyed out. Then I tried switching over to the guest login, hoping to jar it into responding and now it's stuck on guest login with a spinning icon.
Any ideas on how to reset it?
Thanks!Okay; silly me. I had held down the power button but apparently not long enough. It powered down and then I was able to get a proper log in screen when I powered up again. All is well...

I just recently updated to the OS X soft wear and every time I go on iPhoto or iMessage my computer shuts down. This problem doesn't occur when I log into my laptop as a guest. I have a Mac book pro made in 2010.
