Keyboard not working on certain keys....help please???

Ok so yesterday while using my Macbook, my idiot friend spills some beer on the keyboard. We very quickly wipe it all off, tilt the computer so any excess runs out from the side, and the thing still ran. We continued using it for about an hour and all the keys were working and everything was fine.
I then left his house, shut the computer down and brought it home w/ me. I got home later, turned the laptop on, and it still worked, but a few keys aren't working (right where the beer was spilled). The Enter (Return) key, the Shift key below it, and the "\" key.
So I waited overnight to see it that helped and it is still not working. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm out of warranty and doubt beer spill would be covered anyways. If I have to get it repaired, any idea the cost of something like this? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

If cleaning doesn't work, the only thing to be done is replace the keyboard. That's a heck of a lot cheaper than $1000 (but keep in mine, if you have damage inside, cleaning/replacing the keyboard isn't going to be the whole fix). If you definitely decide to buy a new keyboard, I'd take the old keyboard off and soak it in distilled water for a day or two, periodically working the problem keys, then tilt/shake it every which way to get as much water out as possible, then let it dry for a few days, until there's no possibility of moisture remaining inside. If it still doesn't work, nothing lost, as you were buying a new keyboard anyway.
You may also want to consider a BlueTooth/wireless keyboard. Sure, it's something else to carry around (if portability is an issue), but Apple's BT keyboard is about as small/light as possible. Something to consider.

My Mac is producing gray screen at startup and crashes. I'm afraid that everything explode and disappear, and can no longer connect and work with my Mac. Can anyone help ?? Thank you.

Iv got a new macbook air. and cannot get it to work on my iMac? can anyone help??

Iv just bought a macbook air external dvd drive. and i cant get it to work on my imac? Can anyone help???

I don't believe the "Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive" is advertised to work with anything except a MacBook Air or a Mac Mini.
According to a MacWorld article, the reason that it won't work on other models is not a hardware issue, but a Mac OS X one. The MacWorld column described modifying a kernel extension file (dicey; a good way to make your Mac non-bootable if you mess it up); readers suggested a method that involved modifying only property list files.'
I'm not sure I believe that it is just a software issue, or a "what is Apple willing to test and support?" one. At the very end of the page, someone reported seeing "Extra Operating Current (mA): 600" in a USB device tree report.
I think this drive can draw more than the standard amount of power for a USB port. The USB ports on the MacBook Air (and now on the versions of the Mini that lack internal optical drives) have probably been designed with that in mind. The USB ports on the other Macs may only be supplying standard amounts of power, which might (educated guess) be insufficient for some operations (like burning DVDs).

Are your drawing layers locked and the text layers unlocked? So far it sounds as if the "Copy" command isn't grabbing anything but the text. I've had a similar problem with text not coming across when I saved my vector art as a raster image: for that I had to remove a compound path or something from the text before it would come over.
Make sure your layers (and sublayers) aren't locked, and check your compound paths and clipping masks to see if there's something funny going on.

There's a new driver bundle for OSX 10.6 that you might need to install, the HP link seems to be failing at the moment but there's a version of it here: HP_Installer_Scanjet_v2.4.3_Ph4.dmg
There's a piece on the HP Forum about it here (some folks have problems installing ...)

Hello Kitty Galore,
It sounds like your your photos that you take on your phone are not showing in your iPad Photo Stream.
I would check both devices to make sure that they both have Photo Stream turned on in the iCloud settings.
iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
How do I turn on My Photo Stream?
After your devices are up-to-date and you have set up your iCloud account, it’s easy to turn on My Photo Stream on any of your devices:
iOS devices: Go to Settings > iCloud > Photos (Photo Stream in iOS 6), then turn on My Photo Stream.
Mac: Go to System Preferences > iCloud, then select the checkbox for Photo Stream. Click the Options button and verify that the My Photo Stream checkbox is selected. Open the application you want to use with Photo Stream (iPhoto or Aperture) and confirm that My Photo Stream is turned on in that application. You can also adjust your my Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.
If it is enabled, then I would check to make sure Automatic Upload is enabled with this article:
iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
I imported photos to iPhoto or Aperture from my camera, but I do not see them uploaded to the My Photo Stream album, though the service is enabled.
In iPhoto or Aperture, navigate to Preferences > Photo Stream. Ensure that Automatic Upload is enabled under My Photo Stream and that you have an active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.
If Automatic Upload is not enabled, you can either enable it and import again, or manually add the newly imported photos to My Photo Stream in iPhoto or Aperture by dragging them into the My Photo Stream album in your Library.
Cheers,
Sterling
