New Macbook keyboard covers?

Do any of the old macbook keyboard covers work for the new Oct 09 Macbook release? Was just wondering if anyone has attempted to see if they are identical or not.
thanks

They should work, but the power button will be in a different area than on the cover.

Minor flaw in brand new MacBook keyboard area

The surface material surrounding the keyboard (the area on which you place your hands) has a minor flaw on the left side near the bottom of the screen. It is slightly separated from the body. Can this be repaired/glued at an Apple store? I'd hate to have to ship it back for this. Thanks.

HI,
Since this is a brand new MacBook, take it your nearest Apple store ASAP and tell them you want it repaired or if necessary, replaced. I think you have 14 days from purchase to replace the laptop if it comes to that.

New MacBook keyboard freezing.

I just bought my macbook on Thursday (so it is the NEW macbook and has Leopard on it). Anyway, on Friday when I was writing a paper I noticed that the keyboard freezes. It will be working fine and then all of the sudden the keys won't work anymore, but my mouse still moves fine. Most of the time if I put the computer to sleep and wait a minute to use it, the problem clears up.
Has anyone else had this problem? This is my first mac, so I'm really a little lost anyway. Its probably something as stupid as me hitting the wrong key and not realizing it, but I'd appreciate some advice.

Lauraford, you seem to be having a similar problem to many other people here. Check out this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5786564

New Macbook - Keyboard freezes

Hi,
I bought a new 'Santa Rosa' Macbook on 11-2-07 and have been enjoying the process of setting it up and getting familiar with Leopard.
One thing disturbs me though: Periodically as I have used it for the last two days, the keyboard will freeze, allowing no text input. I can still move the mouse, click on windows and start/stop programs, but the keyboard acts as if it's dead. The caps-lock light won't even come on.
This condition lasts for a minute or two and then normal operation resumes. It happens every few hours (three times in six hours of use yesterday, two or three times today). I haven't been able to correlate this with any particular thing I'm doing, either when it begins or ends.
What's going on?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Eric

Hi & thanks for responding! It's good to see that I'm not alone in this.
I had considered taking the machine in, but won't it be hard to do? Since this problem happens unpredictably for only a few minutes every few hours it seems as though it would be difficult to demonstrate to the Genius to get an exchange.
What if it's a widespread hardware or OS/Driver issue - then taking it back wouldn't solve the problem. I'll have to re-do all the installation & setup I've done over the last few days and won't have actually eliminated the problem. It might be better to wait towards the end of the 90-day warranty period to see if there is a solution that doesn't require an exchange, then take it in if not.
I may call Apple support and see what they say.

Macbook keyboard keys "pitched" normal?

I have one of the early early unibody Macbooks. I have noticed that my keys are "pitched" to one side. It seems the splines underneath have too much tension. So, they are not really flat. My 8 key also spontaneously popped off. I was accused of catching it with my sleeve and pulling it off.
Has anyone else noticed this about their new Macbook keyboard? I have looked at 3 others and they dont seem to have the problem. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't too picky before I make a ruckus about this. Am I just in inquiring about this?
Thanks

Hi,
i think it is not normal that the keys are pitched (I guess, you mean "tilted"?). And it's certainly not normal that any key pops off. I would check with the dealer about it.
Whatever you do, stay calm and friendly. The person with whom you'll speak is not the guy who made the fault in the fabrication, and he will be willing to help, since a happy customer comes back.
Success! Thomas

I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board.

I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board. How much will a new battery and motherboard cost and would it be worth it or should I just get a new computer. It was about 300 dollars to get it serviced last week. if it adds up to much past 600 dollars I will just get a new one. THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
P.S During classes today it began beeping in my bag. Like three kind of long steady beeps then a short pause, and when I opened it I couldn't see anything but it was on so I turned it off and back on.

Depends on what options your Apple store offers - if they can do a depot repair (where they send it out), that's around $300 for all parts & labor.
If the store doesn't have that option, a logicboard is around $600, battery $80-$100, from what I've seen.
If they JUST replaced the logicboard, you absolutely should NOT have to pay for another replacement - the replacement is covered by a warranty. If they want you to pay for it, make sure you have a copy of the receipt for the work that was recently completed so you can show it to them. They have no reason to charge you for another logicboard.

I am English but live in Spain, When I got my new Macbook Pro I set the language to English, so far so good. Then I stupidly set the keyboard to British when it is obviously a Spanish keyboard. How can I reset it to Spanish. Sorry cant find question mark

LizMaddock,
you can reset the input source to Spanish by selecting the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, selecting the Input Sources tab, and pressing the “+” button in the lower-left corner to select one of the Spanish input sources. The “Spanish – ISO” input source is most similar to the physical Spanish keyboard layout.

Brand new Macbook Pro not pairing with Apple Keyboard and mouse!

Hi all, I have a brand new Macbook Pro and an older wireless Apple Keyboard and Mouse (that were being previously used with my imac G5).
Now I want to use these for this macbook. I am finding that they are being recognised but not pairing up?
Do you need to stop the previous pairing with the imac before they will pair with the Macbook?
Or do I need to update specific software? (I would have thought it has all the necessary updates already installed).
I am running Snow leopard.
I have brand new batteries in the keyboard and mouse.
I really appreciate any helpful advice. Sorry if the answer is obvious!
Thanks

Hi there, i had a problem pairing an Apple wireless keyboard with my MacBook pro but managed to solve it.
The default passkey option in Bluetooth setup assistant is 'automatic' which will (if the MacBook can 'see' the keyboard in the first instance) then say something like 'your device may prompt you to enter the following passcode 1234 5678'
Obviously the keyboard doesn't provide any feedback - I went ahead and typed the number and hit the return key a number of times - the MacBook then displayed a 'pairing failed - you may have entered the incorrect passkey' message.
What i was doing wrong was keying only numbers - when i keyed 1234[SPACE]5678 + RETURN pairing worked.
I had thought the 'gap' in the passcode was to make it easier to read, not that it implied a space in the passcode.
Hope that helps.

Macbook & the new Apple Keyboard

Hey all...
I recently started using an external monitor and keyboard for my Macbook at the office. Been doing a lot more design work lately and the 13" wasn't cutting it. I made the switch right when the new aluminum keyboard came out.
Here's the problem...
The new keyboard is amazing and the features are great...but when I leave the office and use my Macbook without the external keyboard - all the shortcuts are screwed up.
I'm wondering if there is a way for me to have the Macbook keep 2 settings - 1 for when I'm using the external keyboard and another for when I'm not (without having to reprogram the shortcuts every single time I switch).
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Andy

Hey...
The things I'm needing the most are the expose and dashboard buttons. Right now, there's only one button for expose on the new keyboard (the see all windows button) and it's <fn>+<f3> - on the Macbook it's just <f9>...but <f9> on the new keyboard is the fastforward button for iTunes.
I can assign <f13> - <f19> for just about anything on the new keyboard, but the Macbook only goes to <f12>.
If I set my expose keys on the new keyboard to be the same as that of the Macbook, I lose the iTunes functionality.
Does that clear things up at all? I'm starting to confuse myself.

Keyboard cover compatible between old MacBook & new MacBook Pro?

Hello all,
I have a silicone keyboard cover for my first generation white MacBook. Will it fit the new chicklet style keys on the new MacBook Pro?
Thanks!
Steven

I second that. Just tried my friend's iSkin keyboard cover for the previous generation MacBook and it fit perfectly on my new MacBook Pro.
Actually, I just went over to iSkin's website and they also say that their MacBook skins fit the new MacBook and MacBook Pro.

Wireless keyboard A1016 and new MacBook Pro

I have searched but can't find whether my old Apple wireless keyboard (white case) is compatible with my new MacBook Pro. My computer finds the keyboard but then asks for a passcode and it doesn't connect. Maybe I need a firmware update??

{quote}Thank you for your help.{quote}
No problem. I love my white plastic Bluetooth keyboard with the NUMERIC KEYPAD! I plan on using until I die or Apple offers another Bluetooth keyboard with the numeric keypad. I'm sure there are lots of others that feel the same way.

Keyboard covers for macbook pro 15" unibody

Is there a website i can find quality keyboard covers for my Macbook pro 15" unibody for the following programs:
Final Cut Pro
Adobe (photoshop, after effects)
I also was looking around for a clear hard case.. is this one a good one? anyone have suggestions?
http://www.amazon.com/TopCase-Clear-Crystal-Cover-Macbook/dp/B00418QLNW

Depending on where you are it would be called google.xx and a third x when necessary. On another note, the covers on the apple.com site are quite good. I have the moshi one, it is really good. Except maybe that it gets a bit darker with time.

Buy new MacBook in Paris (with English keyboard layout)

I want to buy new Macbook in Paris with US keyboard layout not French one. Since there are no official Mac Store in France how can I do that ?
Oh one more thing. I also want to laser Russian alphabet on buttons in Paris. Is it possible to do that ?

http://store.apple.com/fr - this is a reseller.
No, it's not, not if you mean an independently-owned company apart from Apple. It's the official Apple Store, owned by Apple. When you order from that Apple Store, you're ordering directly from Apple.
why don't they writу full number with France code - as far as I know it is 33. so it is 33 0800 046 046
Probably because they assume that anyone ordering from the French Apple Store is in France and so doesn't need the country code. Why you can't get through to that number from another country, as I presume you're attempting, I can't say.
Well the information I have from Russian reseller is that they order them from US or UK they do not laser buttons in Russia.
Again, what Apple can and will do for a distributor/dealer is different from what they can do for an individual purchaser. Apple computers sold in a given country are usually only sold with a keyboard applicable to that country. Getting a different keyboard is often just not possible as may well be the case for you.
A workaround might be to get a MacBook with a keyboard from another language and get a set of Russian keyboard overlay stickers. Another possibility would be to purchase an external USB keyboard with Russian keys. Neither option would be an elegant solution but it might be worth it if you can save as much as you say by buying in France. Again, though, note that Apple France will not ship a system to you in Russia (or any other country); you'd have to go to France to get it.

Keyboard/Mouse latency o nthe new macbook?

Hey All,
I just got a new MacBook (the 2.0GHz model) yesterday(First time in my life i'm using a mac), and it seems to have a latency with the keyboard and mouse, its not feeling responsive like my windows at all.
I went to the mouse and keyboard preferences and modified them, but still its not responsive at all.
Also, i feel safari is heavy for this laptop (when i type on the URL it seems to be heavy).
I didn't change anything its a brand new laptop (fully updated) /w default settings.

Welcome to the Forum!
I've seen nothing of the sort with this new Al MB nor my original 2006 model. I still use a Gateway laptop on occasion and a Dell desktop regularly -- and responsiveness seems the same. I suggest having an Apple Store look at it. Could be defective. It almost sounds like some background process is running -- but that seems unlikely on a new machine unless someone "helped" you set it up.
Not sure what you mean by Safari being "heavy". I suggest downloading Firefox3 for OS X and using that; I find it superior in most respects to Safari.
