Problem: keyboard backlighting on Macbook Pro (2011) with OSX Lion.

I have the System Preferences option "Illuminate automatically in low light" disabled.However, when I wake the computer from sleep and the login screen appears, the backlight of the keyboard lights up. Despite the fact that I did not ask for this, although it is really something useful, so I'm not opposed to it. But once I enter the session, the keyboard backlight stays on. Entering the session to make things worse, the machine seems to "think" that the lighting is off, because I press the button to decrease (F5 key) but does not decrease the backlight of the keyboard. Instead I have to first increase the backlight, and reduce it in order to disable it.
Also, if you do the procedure to decrease the light of the keyboard and enter the session, when the screen off (in my case after 5 minutes) stays on the keyboard! If you type the shortcut to turn off the screen Control + Shift + Eject is the same.
Well, I'm looking for a way to: 1. ensure that the backlight of the keyboard is turned off upon login, or 2. completely, 100%, totally disable any auto-enable the keyboard backlight.
One solution is to completely disable the unwanted backlight keyboard. I need to be able to call it manually whenever you want.
This is a bug or feature the same system? Someone has gone or is going through this?
Thank you for listening.

After upgrading to the Mountain Lion over the Lion, the backlight of the keyboard problem was solved! Now the system understands that wish to leave the backlight off.
Now connect your MacBook to the first login screen backlight is already off. By switching users even through the login screen backlight does not turn over. I tested the backlight and is working properly.
So I believe it was a serious bug that happened to me the Lion.

No, unfortunately.
You have to use the proper power adopter.
Best.

Can't have sound on my TV when I connect it on my MacBook Pro 2011, with the HDMI adaptor

Can't have sound on my TV when I connect it on my MacBook Pro 2011, with the HDMI adaptor.
On SOUND preferences, I don't have the option for chosing HDMI on the OUTPUT sound.

Do you have another HDMI port that you can switch to on the TV? Is the tv source on the matching HDMI port with the volume up? After checking those try the following:

I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion. Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked previously on all open. Can anyone tell me why?

You have a choice as to whether or not applications in Lion like Word or Preview (or even Safari) save and re-open previous documents or windows... just hold down the option key while quitting a program and when you re-open it you won't get the previous documents or windows when you re-open the application. You can see this by selecting the open program in the menu bar and when holding down the option key the quit function will change to quit and discard open windows. This feature in Lion is referred to as "Resume" and is great if you want to restart an app and return to what you're doing (for example in Safari re-opening existing windows and tabs from your previous session). You still have the option to close individual windows within an app before quitting and they will not re-open when the app is launched again.
This Resume function is not related to saving your work (a word or text document for example). This is handled by Lion's "Auto-Save" and "Versions" functions. See http://www.apple.com/ca/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html
Hopefully this is the complete answer you're looking for.

BlueTooth [BT] failed during use. Various links say "BT Not Available" - "No BT Hardware Found" etc. Have 3 yr. MacBook Pro Notebook with OSX 10.6.8 with built-in Bluetooth. HELP !

Bluetooth [BT] failed during use.Menu bar icon remains as does two BT icons in Utilities folder. System Prefs. BT icon totally gone. Remaining icons say "No BT Hardware Found" - " BT Not Available" etc. Have 3 yr. old MacBook Pro Notebook with OSX 10.6.8 & built-in Bluetooth. [ Close by iPad's BT remains functional. ]

Yeah the Bluetooth hardware has failed and needs to be replaced. there is nothing you can do except replace the BT chip. Take it to Apple.

TS3742 MacBook Pro 13" with Mountain Lion Freezing at login and getting Kernel errors

Ive been working on a friends MacBook Pro 13" with mountain lion for about a week now. It is having intermittent kernal panic errors on boot up only. It is also freezing up frequently at apple logo. Disk check passed, reformatted and reinstalled os. Switched out Ram. Still happening. Can anyone help.

Linc Davis,
I hope this is what you were requesting. I deleted out the UUID but as far as hang reports, wasn't sure what that would look like so I am sorry if that is included in this. Please let me know what you think.
Thank you for your help in this.

Keyboard backlight for MacBook Pro not working after update.

So I had an update for my Mac pop up yesterday, I completed the update and all was fine. I've just turned on my MacBook Pro again today and there's no backlights on the keyboard. I've tried adjusting it using the F5 and F6 keys but nothing happens other than a pop up on the screen (Pic attatched below) any ideas as to how to fix this? Thanks. :-)
PROBLEM IS NOW FIXED! :-)

I have a macbook pro 2011 with 4GB RAM, 320 GB hard disk, mountain liion installed. for the past 2 weeks, it is taking nearly 10 mts to boot.

It is taking nearly 10 mts for moutain lion to boot. I have used Mactune up utility to check disk status and there are no problems with the disk. Double checked with SMART utility and it reported no issues with the disk. Out of 320GB disk, 220 gb is free space in the disk
Ran anti virus to check for any virus relalted issues and found none. I have also checked programs which are part of login in User and Groups. I found only iTunes helper and unchecked the same. Post this operation, i had shutdown my pc and then re-started and am still experiencing 10 mts window for start up. I am not seeing errors in the macbook pro. can someone advise what needs to be done. do i need to reinstall mountain lion. if yes, can someone advise me how to reinstall mountain lion without erasing disk.

pls refer my previous post, i have indeed checked console message. please let me know if i need to look for specific error message. i have pasted logs below from the latest PC start i did. time mentioned here is indian standard time.

MacBook Pro 2011 with OS X 10.6.8. what should I upgrade to, for now?

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.8. and I'm unsure about upgrading, but feel the need to. What should I upgrade to, for now? THANK YOU!

Keep your Snow Leopard installation and test Mavericks on a separate partition or external drive. You will probably want to have both options. Mavericks and anything else after Snow Leopard has changes to the user interface that many of us find pointless and irritating. And you won't be able to use any software that runs via Rosetta in Snow Leopard. You will have to upgrade software that needs Rosetta to a later version, or get something else entirely.

Will my Razer Gaming products work on my Macbook pro 2011 with bootcamp?

I have purchased 16gb of RAM for my Macbook pro late 2011 so bootcamp will run very fast when I purchase it. I was wondering if my Razer gaming accesories will work on my Macbook with bootcamp, and for future purchases of gaming accessories. Thanks

Boot Camp is
a misname for an Apple oriented GPart etc to partiton a drive for use by Windows natively, drivers, a control panel for Windows, and download utility for those drivers.
You are running Windows natively which is 93% the same as running on most any PC hardware.
So it should.

Why do applications keep crashing on MacBook Pro i7 with mountain lion

I am using a late-2011 MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion OS 10.8 and 8GB of RAM.
The system keeps having iTunes, and most recently Skype, crash while in use.
This never happened previously, and I am puzzled.
Any thoughts?

Did you upgraded from Lion or Snow Leopard?
Sometimes it's better to do a clean install: http://tinyurl.com/bmbkgrm

2009 MacBook pro 13 with OSX 10.9.1 -- Office:Mac 2004 ?

I just bought a used MacBook Pro with a fresh install of mavericks and
I have an old copy of Office:Mac 2004 student and teacher edition. Should I install it?
I have one more product key on this disc and want a basic word processor. Leary of the MS product.
Thanks!

No. It won't work.
Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion or Mavericks
If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

How to install bootcamp partition on macbook pro 12 with mountain lion

Then your drive is to full or has errors of some type. Those are the only reasons for boot camp to stop you from partitioning and installing Windows.
