Macbook Pro letter fell off keyboard
I have a Macbook Pro and one letter fell off my keyboard. How do you put the letter back onto the keyboard?
I'd take it to my local Apple Store and have them do it. Never had a key fall off myself, but you should still be under warranty if it's a late 2011.
Good luck,
Clinton

my husband has 1 of the newer macbook pros that runs off of lion and know his computer wont let him get past the starting screen it keeps telling him to put in a bootible disk he cant use his key board or anything what should he do?
Hi...
Use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk if necessary, or reinstall the Mac OS X.
he cant use his key board
You'll need to use a wired (USB) keyboard. -
yeah as the title states it my macbook pro letter A is broken does apple cover it or do i need to pay for it?
The Apple warranty is one year, so take it to an Apple store genius bar for examination by the techs. They will determine the reason for the breakage and overage.

Hi, as the title reads my year old mid 2010 Macbook pro keeps powering off and leaving the below error message.
I'm a university student and desperately need my mac to hit deadlines etc. If anyone could suggest a solution or shed any light i'd be hugely appreciative. Thanks SO much. Joe

It looks like your NVIDIA graphic is damaged. If you need your computer now, you can fix the computer downloading gfxCardStatus and selecting the option to use only the integrated graphic, so that kernel panic won't appear anymore. Note that you won't be able to use the NVIDIA graphic, so the graphic performance may be worse than with this graphic.
Of course, that's a temporary fix, because you should take the computer to an Apple Store as soon as possible to get the Mac repaired. As the NVIDIA graphic is not soldered, the repair won't be expensive -
Macbook Pro suddenly turned off, not charging either.
My Macbook Pro suddenly turned off last night. I've tried all the troubleshoots listed in the user manual. Thought it was just batt low but it would not even charge, neither the battery sign located on the left side wouldn't show any sign/blink/color. Please help me, it's just 8-month old and Im not sure what could be the reason of this problem. PLEASE AND THANK YOU

Hi i'm sorry but what is SMC?
System Management Controller
The System Management Controller (SMC) is responsible for many low-level functions on Intel-based Macs. These functions include:
Responding to presses of the power button
Responding to display lid opening and closing on portable Macs
Battery management
Thermal management
The SMS (Sudden Motion Sensor)
Ambient light sensing
Keyboard backlighting
Status Indicator Light (SIL) management
Battery status indicator lights

Order a Macbook Pro with a different Keyboard layout?
In a Swedish, I want to order a Macbook Pro with an US or UK keyboard layout. The Swedish one is very different. Note that I am aware that I can change the keyboard language settings in preferences but this will obviously not change the layout of the actual keyboard.
By some reason, there seem to be numerous threads all over the net about this particular issue but with no definite answer, which is certainly odd considering that the question is simple. So let's solve this mystery once and for all.
Is there an official word on this? Is it possible?It's difficult to find a MacBook Pro with a US keyboard on a physical shop, but you should be able to order it at the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/se
If you can't order a MacBook Pro with a US keyboard from the Apple Online Store, call Apple and try to order it. Note that the delivery may be longer -

Have you tried a Safe boot? Left side SHIFT at power up, hold till you see the progress bar then release and allow to finish booting,. (note this will take longer that usual) Thsi will disable 3rd party software/extensions. Login and see if the issue still persists, if not logout and boot normally.
Another thing you can try is creating a test account and see if it has the same issue there, this will help determine if it is related only to your account.
Also check About this Mac (Apple logo) option, system information, power in the left side bar and check the battery info.
If you have already tried these steps, you should include what you have already tried so people will not offer redundant suggestions.
If you still are having issues, it looked as though you were typing that you thoght you may still be under warrany, if so you may want to take it in and have it checked out, as there the keyboard/screen issues along with the no wake on battery, it may be related to a battery problem?
You can check warranty status by going here and entering your serial number.

How to buy a MacBook Pro with a Swedish keyboard?
Hello,
I work at a University, we have a new researcher here that wants us to purchase a MacBook Pro with a Swedish keyboard. For three weeks we have been unable to get anywhere. We have a University account manager, but she hasn't made any progress. We are willing to pay the retail price of a MacBook Pro in Sweden, we just can't get anyone to take our money.
We can't be the only University in America that has a need for foreign language support.
Thanks for listening.I work at a University, we have a new researcher here that wants us to purchase a MacBook Pro with a Swedish keyboard.
If you really must have a Swedish physical keyboard (which is not necessary for typing Swedish unless the person can't type without seeing what is on the keys), the place to look for one is

Why doesn't my macbook pro let me update certain applications? It says "You have updates available for other accountsTo update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.
it's also likely that you used two different apple IDs to purchase apps. if that's the case then you simply have to log out of your app store, and log into the other account to update the apps.
from experience it's not possible to syncronise purchased content from two different accounts. but you can always give Apple a call. -

you could have a hardware problem with your drive though.
verify the disk (not permissions) using disk utility and if it reports any errors, boot from the leopard install DVD and repair the drive using disk utility there.
you can change the name of the computer and get rid of (2) in system preferences->sharing. -
Using MacBook Pro as display and keyboard
Morning.
I have an Mac mini Server 2,53 10.6.4 without display and without keyboard. How can I use my MacBook Pro as display and keyboard to configure the server?If you are setting up a server you can use Server Admin tools to set up a new server remotely. You would need to install the Server Admin tools on your MacBook Pro and then do the remote install procedure.
You need to collect the serial number and the Mac Address of the Mac Mini Server to enter in as the information in the Remote Install during the installation process you will be prompted to chose Remote Management and SSH for options that way you will be able to connect to the Server Remotely at anytime when configuring or afterwards. -
Can I buy a MacBook Pro with a foreign keyboard in the US?
I will be moving to Sweden soon and was wondering whether or not I am able to buy a MacBook Pro with a Swedish keyboard, in the US? It is a lot cheaper buying one in the US than in Sweden (I would save a few hundread dollars). The computer I am interested in is the 13 inch MacBook Pro with the Retina display.
If I am able to do so, do you know how I would order it? I can not find any options for it online...
Anyways, thanks alot in advance!call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask. You will most likely have to order it over the phone.

Hello! Does anyone knows if its possible to change a US keyboard of a macbook pro for a portuguese keyboard. And how much it is approximatedlly. Thanks
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You will have to return the Mac and order one with a Portuguese keyboard, if you bought it less than 14 days ago.
If not, you will have to buy a new Mac (that's because some keys may not fit onto your MacBook Pro keyboard) or just set up OS X with a Portuguese keyboard but with US keys -
