OS 10.4.8 Mac Book Pro - Delayed response to keyboard input
Often, not long after I start up, I experience a delay between typing or deleting - or anything else from the keyboard - and the response from the screen. Sometimes several seconds. I can cure it by restarting and I often have to several times a day. Doesn't appear to be specific to having a particular application running.
Any ideas?
I seem to have solved it. Via 'Menu Meters" i noted that the processor was very busy while I was typing. So I opened Activity Monitor and found that "Caps warn" and 'typeit4me were very busy - as was Mail. So I downloded that latest version of both and all seems to be well.

I have a Mac Book Pro with the Sub Keyboard and the sub keyboard has kicked in
The numbers under the letters are active and I can not type using these key letters which makes a wireless keyboard the only way to have this in a normal way. .
The keyboard works right on the Mac side but the problem exists with the Windows bootcamp. How can I turn off the sub keyboard part and have a normal keyboard?ajfcrf,
I’m afraid that I don’t understand what you’re asking. What is a “sub keyboard”, and which numbers under which letters do you mean? -

You want to erase your hard drive, then download a fresh copy of OS X and the iLife apps? If yes, and you bought the system, ie, it's registered to you (so you can download software from the App store), and you have any important data backed up ....
Boot holding the command and r keys down which will take you into recovery mode. Use Disk Utility to erase the hard drive. If you want you can do a secure erase, which takes longer, and will absolutely make whatever is on the hard drive unrecoverable. Make sure you have a backup of any important data.
Then download and install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. It may take several hours to download. Then log into the App store and download the iLife applications. -
Can i buy mac book pro with english keyboard from dubai?
i will visit dubai and i am planning to buy a mac book pro from there. İ wonder if i can buy this mac book pro with an English keyboard and all the manuals in English. Any help on this please?
Actually, you can - but it is special order only - they consider it as a customized unit....You might have to wait a week or two.....
You can check the Apple Store at the Mall of the Emirates and see if they have it in stock....
Or, you can go to Apple's website select UAE as the country and configure it with the US keyboard and wait for delivery...
Good luck.. -
Hello everyone I am new to this forum, I am planning to get a MacBook Pro within this month, and would like to ask a few questions hoping I can get the answers here, thank you in advance for the help.
- I live in Canada, but is there a way for me to buy a Mac Book Pro here with Japanese keyboard (with 半角/全角, カタカナ/ひらかな...etc keys)?
- Since I will be going to japan soon, and if I can not buy one with Japanese keyboard in Canada and will be gettin it in japan instead; Does Apple warranty covers their product worldwide, just say if something wrong with my Japanese macbook pro, can I get it repaired in Canada?
Thanks
woraiHello Worai,
If you are not native Japanese and are not staying in
Jp for the life time of your MB, I suggest you get a
standard English keyboard. As far as I know, Jp
keyboard layout is very peculiar with the key
placements. I had a hard time with Jp keyboard.
I have not pratically tried with my MBP, but you can
add Jp language input keyboard profile. Switching
back and forth is easy and you can easily compose
hirakana, katakana and kanji as well. But there won't
be a dedicated keyboard key for switching between
hirakana and katakana which the Jp keyboards usually
have.
All the best experience in Japan.
Oh, in case you need, there is a huge Apple store on
the Ginza Avenue.
I will be installing japanese Final Fantasy XI on the dual boot japanese window XP pro, one that game boots up it will not allow me to access the language bar in within window xp to switch hiragana, katakana.. etc. ; ;
I guess I'll drop by Ginza Apple store and get it from there.... Will Akihabara be cheaper, or should I just stick with Apple Store only? -
I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.
Hi there. I also bought an iWires mini Display port to HDMI cable and have an LG LED/LCD TV. I plugged it in to my MB Pro and followed the very small writing that came in the package and got both audio and video going. You need to change the audio settings from within System Preferences on your Mac to select your TV as the audio output.
My concern is the data latency - do you experience a delay between moving your mouse on the MBPro and the TV displaying the movement? It is only a fraction of a second, but certainly enough to be annoying, especially in a cable as expensive as the iWire. -

Why did my Mac book pro 2012 literally slow to a crawl overnight?
Hello,
Im new to Mac products so bear with me
I'm running an OS X 10.9.1 13 Mac book pro with 4 GB of memory. I can usually play video games, and edit videos with it. And overheating has never been a problem.
Today alll the applications are taking 30-40 seconds to open and even longer to click between tasks. Sometimes i see a beach balll, but generally the notebook just seems to not respond. The boot time seems to have increased too.
Disk check - Hard drive scan showed no problems and I have over 30% Disk space left
Disk repair permissions - It took about an hour and repaired some stuff. But still slow

I heard some people could interpret this. I'm currently using a library PC cause typing on my Mac would take eons......its that slow
can anyone help?Please don't post "etrecheck" output in a reply to me. I have no use for it.
1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test will take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

AUDIO SAMPLES FROM IOMEGA 100 ZIP DRIVE TO MAC BOOK PRO / LOGIC?
Posted: Fri, Feb 15 2013, 1:27pm Post subject: AUDIO SAMPLES FROM ZIP 100 TO MACBOOK PRO / LOGIC?
HI THERE
I HAVE LOADS OF OLD AUDIO SAMPLES ON ZIP DISKS ( ZIP 100 using akai cd3000 sampler ) THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TRANSFER TO MY MAC BOOK PRO FOR LOGIC EX24.
IS IT A SIMPLE CASE OF A 'SCSI TO USB LEAD' , WILL MY MAC BOOK PICK IT UP FROM THERE OR DO I NEED SOFTWARE OR DRIVERS FOR MY MAC TO BE ABLE TO SEE THEM?
IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE AT ALL?
THANKSHi guys
Sorry for the delay in coming back. I bought a zip drive pretty cheaply then and it has only just turned up. However when I put my old ZIP disks in, it seems like the ZIP drive reads them at least but the MACBOOK comes up with the following message...
'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer'
Does this pretty much mean a no go then? Or can I put the samples from my AKAI sampler back through the old ZIP drive, reformat some new disks in a certain way on that drive so that my MAC can read them?
All its for really is mainly to take old tracks that used these samples and getting them set up in my mac. Also there was some good bits and pieces there anyway and would like to keep using those samples for newer projects. I could of coourse resample them from the AKAI straight to the MAC but would be not as practical and would take alot longer. The 13'' macbook pros input is not digital, only its output.

speed slow problem for my mac book pro
My mac book pro has an i7 processor, and still slow. The monitor of activity, when the computer just turned on says 1.8 GB in use (or more). Is it OS Lion?, because the amount of processes in the list don´t use much memory. Programs have a delay to open, close, save, etc. Y can´t have more than 4 or 5 programs running and my memory decreases dramatically. My disk has 140 GB free. I´ll be very thankfull if I can have some help.

Mac book pro with Komplete 4 and other AU plugins
I just got a full loaded mac book pro, NI Komplete 4 , korg legacy digital edition, Arturia minimoog v. and haven't got any of them to run successfully with Logic pro 7 (7.2.3).
they run as stand alones but logic is having trouble finding them, i have tried the AU manager and it can't see them, All the logic instruments are there, what am i forgeting, i have been pulling my hair out for days.
someone help me please.
sieHi,
As the previous poster suggested, not all of the instruments in K4 are universal binaries. I have K4 running on a Mac Pro, and outside of bugs on the NI side, it is working fine with Logic. Run all the updates you can find through the service center. Some of those updates make an instrument a universial binary. For example, out of the box B4 II is still PPC. All the software will run under rosetta, but Logic will only see instruments that are UB. After you run all the updates, you can check which instruments are not UB by going into the system profiler and checking the software tab. From memory, spectral delay and vokator are not, Battery 3, Absynth 4, B4 II, Akoustic Piano, Kontakt, FM8, and Reaktor are all UB.

Why doesn't my website show correctly on Mac Book Pro Mtn. Lion?
When I open iWeb on my old Mac Book everything opens up just fine. Now that I have purchased a new Mac Book Pro, all I get when I open iWeb is the template page. I tried to move the domain only to the Library/Applications Support/iWeb, but that did not help. Any suggestions are appreciated. I hate to redo everything. I like using iWeb for our travel website. Thanks for your help.
In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
