New out of the box MacBook Pro with Caps Lock/Num Lock lit keys

I just set up my brand new MacBook Pro 15" laptop and, right out of the box, the Caps Lock and Num Lock keys were lit up. I didn't think anything of it, and transferred all my user files from my old PowerBook G4. Well, they 2 keys seem to be working in reverse. When Caps Lock is lit up green, all characters are in lower case. Same as Num Lock. Any advice? Do I have a lemon?
Thanks!

I've also had this problem twice over the past couple of weeks.
I have a theory that it has something to do with plugging in my USB mouse during the system boot. A reboot cured it both times though, and it's not gotten tot he point that it's annoying enough to investigate further.

  • Out of the Box MacBook Pro does not burn DVD DL

    Hi
    My new out of the Box MacBook Pro 2,8 Ghz, 500 GB HD does not burn DVD DL.
    Its telling me something like "Servo Error" in Toast 10.0.4 and also iTunes with a big playlist in DataDVD burn mode does not get the job of burning a DVD DL done.
    It makes me soooo sad.
    I had problems with my DVD Drive on my Power Book G4 12", also on my MacBook 2,16 Ghz even after a repair it would not burn DVD DL.
    So what to do?

    Hi
    Thanks for the tips.
    Well since its a absolutely new MacBook Pro it should burn DL as stated on the Box. So I call the store and they will sent me a new one.That worked very nice and smoothly, so here on costumer care apple is on the very big side.
    I hope the new one will burn em right away.
    You know: Why do they put such bad drives in their so nicely build MacBooks? I don't get it at all. Maybe we are short before Bluray and so they putting inn all the old drives.... Who knows.
    Its well know that apple is not using very good drives in their computers.
    Na ja so ist es halt.
    Keep the good work up!

  • Out of the box macbook pro 15" c2d problems

    evening all,
    right out of the box, i have had kernel panics every time i boot my new macbook pro c2d. i have also had the awake from sleep problem some people seem to be having. i am also unable to install either boot camp, parallels, or vmware. i have tried winxp, 2000 and vista in every combination. every time i try it corrupts the volume beyond repair and i have to wipe the hard drive and reinstall os x. i am getting worn out by banging my head against the wall. i thought this stuff was supposed to be easy. when i went to check on the firmware version for my macbook pro 15" c2d i noticed that i have the boot rom version and the smc version installed for original 17" macbook pro not the c2d version. it won't let me change the firmware back to a 15" c2d. it is showing MBP12.0061.B03 1.5f10 and i should have MBP22.00A5.B00 1.12f5 according to apple specs.
    i will try to reset my smc, but the pram can not be reset via the usual keyboard combination because it just doesn't work like it did on my powerbook.
    i am also going to try disabling the hibernate mode as suggested via terminal.
    i am going to try trashing the plist preferences for the .AutoWake, PowerManagement and the systemuiserver.
    i also have the problem when reinstalling os x several times that the optical drive gets stuck reading the original system disks and i have to start all over again. whew!!!
    btw, i am a hardware tech but this is too much of a waste of time.
    any other suggestions are very welcome.
    macbook pro 15" c2d Mac OS X (10.4.9) tricked out powerbook 15"

    here is an update for everyone, or at least you will get a good laugh out of it. I sent the macbook to applecare to be fixed and I just got it back. they replaced the harddrive and restored the os.
    guess what? I turned it on and it had a kernel panic! then I tried to set up a user account and it had a ......... kernel panic! I had to laugh, what else can you do at this point?
    they didn't fix what i told the tech support guy was the biggest issue on this machine. the boot room version is still MBP21.00a5.B01 which is for the 17" C2D. it is paired with the smc version 1.12f5 which is the version apple has listed for the 15" version. tried to change the boot room but it tells me it does not need the correction. everyone knows best yet i still get ....... kernel panics.....! lmao
    here is the last kernel panic log if anyone is interested:

  • Out of the box macbook pro, not charging

    Hi,
    I just purchased a Macbook Pro yesterday. I did as indicated and waited till the battery was fully charged before I unplugged it upon first use. As soon as it said "fully charged" I unplugged it and it showed 96% battery life. I used my laptop today and reached 60% of my battery life. I decided to plug it in, once again it reached "fully charged" and as soon as I unplugged it is only shows 97% charged.
    I know that they are designed not to fully charge but shouldnt I be expecting closer to 100% capacity out of the box ?
    Thank you

    Either return the computer from where purchased or call Apple tech support ASAP.
    You have 14 days to return your computer with no questions asked.  You also have 90 days of free phone tech support.

    I purchased the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 about 6 months ago. I want to install it to my new computer which is a Macbook Pro with no CD Drive. How do I install it when I got it in CD form?

    I doubt the license is affecting the performance - it might be a case of the software being too old for the machine.
    In any case, you can contact Adobe support thru chat and have them reset your activation count to eliminatre your doubts regarding the license.

  • How can I tell the differences between the new MacBook Pro with retina display and the old MacBook Pro with retina display by looking

    I'm just wondering the differences between the new MacBook Pro with retina display which was just released in October 2013 and the old MacBook Pro with retina display.

    Thank you for the reply! As you said they looked exactly the same, so I'm not able to tell the differences just by looking, right? I'm thinking to buy a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with retina display, but I'm not buying the MacBook in Apple Store, I'm buying it in other shops, how can know whether they are not selling me the old model of MacBook Pro with retina display?

  • Trouble with log in after my brand new, out of the box computer, sleeps.

    I'm having trouble logging in after my computer sleeps, I cannot directly do so even though my user account option is displayed.  I have to "choose another user" and re-choose my user account.  Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know if it can be fixed?
    Info: Computer is brand new, out of the box today.  There are 4 other accounts set up on the computer.

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • K430-31092​SU new out of the box has no audio.

    K430-31092SU new out of the box has no audio. The real ports for audio (green port on back) headphones and microphone (black and pink ports front or back) when a device is plugged in it does not pop up on the task bar. Under the Manage Audio Devices > Sounds, the level meter indicates sound is playing but nothing comes through the speakers or headphones. The video graphics card is connected to a ViewSonic 1080P LED monitor with built in speakers via the HDMI cable. Sound comes through the monitor speakers when selected but cannot get any sound from the green audio port internal to the motherboard. Tried unplugging the HDMI cable connected the VGA, same results, no sound from the speakers.
    Tech support remotes in and does everything I have already done with settings and drivers so they determine that the motherboard has a hardware failure and the machine will have to be returned. The tech was very easy to communicate with and I was given a case number to talk to the After Purchase Department and they say it will take 4-5 business days for them to contact me to start the process of returning the PC. WHAT? Start the process!
    Every third day I have called Lenovo and every time they say it will be 4-5 days for someone to contact me. The last time I called they told me someone would call that day. Needless to say I have not heard from anyone.
    Will reply later as to when I get instructions on returning the defective K430 and get a replacement. The Lenovo experience so far has been extremely disappointing.
    iDave

    I always wanted a lenovo and got one couple years ago and was very disappointed at their battery.  For a netbook they wanted 178 bucks - still do.  They are looking heavily to their bottom line in my mind.  I bought a desktop shortly after and had pains plus but it wasn't all their fault.  I just bought an all in one and it will definitely be the last unless I seem them turn around soon.  This board is full of people with problems and no solutions.
    Mine, the touch screen is incompatible with windows 8 yet lenovo was pushing upgrading to windows 8.  Not wise in my mind but that is the way they are functioning right now.  I called about another problem and was told three times someone would call within the day - never happened.
    I must say the older two are great machines after I got them running smoothly though little to no help from lenovo.

  • Any idea when we will see units new out of the box without a scratch on iPhone 5?

    Any idea when we will see units new out of the box without a scratch?  I was out at Apple to pick up my iPhone 5 in black on Oct 12th.   I opened the box in front of an Apple technician and there was a scratch on the edge.  So I told her I didn't want a scratched iPhone.  So she returned and brought out another phone.   Well, she couldn't get it to a accept the new iPhone because there's a 24hr waiting period when you make a return.  This is Verizon's policy, but of course we didn't find out until 2.5hrs later.
    So she says you'll have to return but we will hold this phone for you.  I was disappointed after being there for a total of 3.5hrs and no iPhone.   I returned on Saturday hoping the next iPhone didn't have a scratch.   I opened the box and there was a scratch!   I live 40 minutes from these store, so it's not close.
    I have an iPhone 4 that's in excellent condition!  I don't want a new iPhone 5 with a scratch, unless its a scratch caused by me.

    Why is the australian MacBook pro with retina display far more expensive then the American one when the Australian dollar is much stronger

    this is a user response forum, i'm not sure what you think we will know. Apple doesn't reply here. you would probably have to contact the main Apple HQ in Australia to have a chance to get any kind of answer.

    does the newest macbook pro with retina display have an ethernet connection port?
    No.

  • Do the 2011 Macbook Pros with an Apple installed SSD have cooling fans?

    Do the 2011 Macbook Pros with an Apple installed SSD have cooling fans? In other words, I pre ordered the 256 SSD option with my purchase from Apple. I have searched and searched the internet for a clear answer. I have called Apple and have gotten contradictory answers. Can anyone definitively answer this question?

    It's unbelievable that anyone purporting to represent Apple could have misinformed you in such a ridiculous way. Apple has never produced a MBP that didn't have one or more cooling fans in it. The percentage of total heat generated by a MBP that comes from its hard drive (or SSD) is tiny — I would guess it's considerably less than 5%. The notion that the machine could dispense with cooling fans as a result of switching from a conventional drive to a SSD is laughable.
    I can only assume that you posed the question in such a way that it was not clearly understood by the people responding.

  • How do I start over and bring my MacBook Pro to a brand new out of the box state?

    I have a MacBook Pro with Retinal Display purchased in June 2012.  I have backed up once using Time Machine. How do I put it back to the brand new just purchased out of the box state? Any ideas?  I have done this with windows computers, but never a Mac.

    To restore your MacBook to factory settings, you have to use Internet Recovery. Follow the steps:
    1. Press Command, Option and R keys while your Mac is starting, and open Disk Utility.
    2. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
    3. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. This can take hours because your computer has to download OS X from the App Store.
    After restoring the computer to factory settings, open App Store > Purchases to download iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand
