Problem wirh silicone cover for the keyboard

Hi, I work with my macbook in bars and places with dust, so im very concerned about dust or liquids falling in the keyboard. So one month ago i bought a silicone protection for the keyboard, like this one - http://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-66886557-_JM
now, a little more then one month later, i realized that some stains like smoke stains are UNDER the silicone protection.. taking out the protection there was a kind of a burned/smoke smell.. So my question is: this silicone protection can cause overheating or damage something? that little spaces between the keyboard are necessary for ventilation, cooling or something?
thanks

Thanks! so, is a fact that the spaces between the keys are necessary for the cooling and is not recomendble to use this silicone skins for keyboard? If yes, is strange, becaus i research a lot before use it and theres no place in internet with advice against those protections...

Keyboard Cover for the MBP

Does anybody have a Keyboard cover for the MBP?
i'm looking to invest in one, just need suggestion on which and where to get one!

btw: its a 15" mbp

Whether you're talking about the old MacBook Pro (with "PowerBook" style keyboard) or the new unibody Late 2008 MacBook Pro (with chiclet, MacBook Air style keyboard), the BEST one I think, because I searched far and wide and tried them "all" out, is from iSkin.
It's not sticky (like ZCover's) and it's not el cheapo like some other ones I've seen that advertise as not being sticky (it literally, the silicone cover, sticks to your fingers while typing), but look like crud.
I am typing with one right now. It is fantastic. I bought the "painted on" ones. It was the Arctic Pro Touch FX model.
Here it is:

(If you have the older MacBook Pro, just go to the right section on their website. You can also choose which ever color you like, of course. I just liked how the keyboard cover I got looks like there is NO keyboard cover at all!).
P.S. KBCovers also sells a similar cover and they are not sticky either. I just didn't find out about them until after I bought my iSkin one. (Was at Macworld last week, why I was able to "test drive" all the models before settling on one). Also, PowerSupport is coming out with one--according to the dealers there--but it's not out yet. Their demo is also not the sticky kind. (Too much info?).

Keyboard Cover for the Envy 17-j053ea (EU)

Hello all, I'm in search of a keyboard cover for the laptop model in the subject. Keyboard covers for this model of laptop exist but they are often the US layout (for instance, the return key is a rectangle as opposed to a 7 shape as it is on an EU layout). Whilst this doesn't run under hardware problems, it would however run under protecting the hardware.
Is anyone able to find a keyboard cover for me as I cannot seem to find any anywhere?!
If only it was easier to clean laptop keyboards from tiny bits of dust and dog hairs.
Thanks in advance.

Helloo,
I've also been searching for a cover for my HP Envy, and I have the 15" one, but it's still pretty similar because there's no covers with the EU return key [the one that's shaped like a 7]. So after alot of searching, I went on the second page of Google [!!!] and I found this link that provides customized clear keyboard covers!
The catch? It covers the entire bottom portion of your laptop, including the touchpad. So for me the idea of a plasticky touchpad is kind of repelling, but I'm not sure what you would prefer, so I'll just leave the link here.

However, if you do find one that only covers the keyboard, be sure to mention it as that would infinitely be better.
Good luck!

What's the best cover for the new iPad (3rd generation). I've been told by a store employee (university bookstore) that there are problems with the magnetic covers on the newest iPad. Suggestions?

The best cover is the one that suites your needs. Try Google. There are dozens on the market.
As for the Apple Smart Cover, it does work with the new iPad. There are a few reported issues with it, but that doesn't come close to representing the totality of folks with it.

HT3050 where can I buy a battery compartment (screw in) cover for the 2007 apple wireless keyboard?

I need to find a (screw in type) battery compartment cover for this 2007 apple wireless keyboard.
The cover for the 2009 version does not work. Even though it is similar--the three battery system requires a different cover. Where can I possible get one of these parts?

Contact Apple to see if they can obtain one (Apple store would be the best bet).

MacBook Pro 15 with Windows 8.1 installed via Boot Camp problem with keys "@" and " " of the keyboard

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro Retina Maverick in 2013 on which I installed Windows via Boot Camp 8.1.
The installation went well but when I am running Windows 8.1, I have a problem with "@" and "<" keys on the keyboard.
When I type the "@" key, I get "<"
When I type the "<" button, I get "@"
I have reinstall Boot Camp from Windows 8.1 for reinstall the drivers and see if it would solve the problem but it was not the case.
Someone of you has he encountered the same problem?
Thank you.

Is there a reason to purchase a protective cover for the back of the iPad2?

I am buying an iPad 2 soon and want to purchase the Zaggmate case with keyboard. The back of the iPad woud be exposed even though the screen would be protected. Is it necessary to purchase a cover for the back of the iPad other than for "gripping" reasons?

Purely personal preference, IMO. In fact, any case is a matter of personal choice - I know many people who use their iPads naked as they don't like anything encumbering it. Do what pleases and works for you.

Satellite Pro A300D - What is the model number for the keyboard?

My husband managed to dislodge a keycap on my keyboard, and broke the white scissor clip that holds hit on...(don't ask me how)
He spoke to the authorised service centre here in Norway, and they sent us replacement scissor clips (actually they sent an old non-functioning keyboard) but the clips are of a different design to the ones on my laptop.
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of the model/serial number of the keyboard used in the Satellite Pro A300D-151 (PSAK9E) so I can get the correct replacement part.
I really don't want to have to replace the whole keyboard when it's just 1 of the scissor clips that is broken...the laptop is only 5 months old.
Here are some photos of the scissor clip in question & the where it attaches to the keyboard (sorry about the quality)

Hi
Sorry buddy but its not possible to exchange some single keys on a keyboard so in this case you must replace the complete keyboard. But normally this should not be so difficult.
Either you exchange the keyboard yourself or you sent the notebook to the authorized service provider.
The model number for the keyboard is not known to me but contact your ASP!! They can order all Toshiba parts and they should know the right part number.
Bye

HT5429 How long after you report a problem does it take for the fix to be picked up in maps?

How long after you report a problem does it take for the fix to be picked up in maps? The street I live on is misspelled. It's shown as one word, but it should be two words. Maps cannot find the address when it is spelled correctly, so I have it purposely misspelled it as one word in my contacts, which helps for the most part, however it still tries to place my home on an entirely different street all together. Fortunately this new random street is at least close to where I live. When I used to spell my street correctly with two words, maps would try to send me to the next town over. So it kind of works, as long as I misspell my street, and ignore the fact that it is showing where I live to be a couple of streets down from where I actually live. I live in Connecticut - not in the most populated of areas, but not in the middle of nowhere either. Amazingly enough Google Maps will correctly find my address whether it's spelled with one words or two words. Google Maps also shows my apartment complex, which Apple Maps does not. I really wish Apple would just do a quick pass of the area to fix these issues. I’ve reported the problem several times, months ago. How long will it take for there to be a fix? I keep trying to use the Apple ecosystem, but Google is clearly the better solution for me.

Apple does not do the GIS data for maps. That comes from 3rd party vendors like Tom Tom. I have read it takes some time to update map data. The only thing you can do is report it.
Not to belittle your complaint, but on my end it is Apple that is clearly better. When looking at my house in Google, the satellite photo is more than 4 years old, and the Apple one is much newer. I can tell because of the condition of my home and the neighbor's. They had an above ground pool which was removed 4 years ago and it shows on the Google Map. I had remodeling and roof work done to my home that started 3 years ago and Apple's satellite view showed this work done, which took over a year to complete. I live in the middle of a block in a rural town. Both Apple and Google split the block into 100 parts and put my home close to the beginning of the block instead of where it actually sits. I've reported it to both Google and Apple and no one has changed. Just one of those things. But, keep your chin up, it will get corrected eventually.

Hi, I'm currently browsing the web looking for a case that is compatible with the smart cover for the iPad 2. If anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to read all opinions! Thanks!

I love the Smart Cover. It fits the way I work and I love the instant on/off and the always available screen protection. I wouldn't use my iPad without it.
I got a Cover Buddy for the back, because I wanted the back to be less slippery when I'm using the iPad in the classroom, teaching. I picked this back cover because it's VERY lightweight, easy to get on or off and, protects the corners, has accurate cutouts for the ports, and (in the colors) has a rubberized surface:

I have a Built NY "hoody" slip on case with a hard internal shell that I use when I'm in the field and I can put the iPad with the Smart Cover and the Cover Buddy inside this . But for everyday use, the Smart Cover with the Cover Buddy is a terrific combination.

IMac on Mountain Lion restarting "because of a problem" every 5 minutes for the last 4 days.

My iMac has been restarting "because of a problem" every 5 minutes for the last 4 days. This started only since I updated Mountain Lion OS last Thursday (i didnt update TO mountain lion, i already had it and updated to a version that came up in the mac app store).
Also, it usually restarts while in Sleep mode, and when iPhone 4s (iOS 6) is connected.
Any Help or advise would be appreciated.

Run the Apple Hardware Test suite, extended tests at least twice; then, follow up with Rember.

Satellite P300 - is there a backlight for the keyboard?

Hi - does anyone know if the Satellite P300 has a back light for the keyboard? I am assuming it does as the keys are shiny black but cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn it on. Any assistance is appreciated.

As far as I know illuminated keyboard will be offered with new notebook series A500 and P500.
I am 100% sure Satellite P300 has not such keyboard.
You can check specifications for different Satellite /Satellite pro P300 models and you will see that nowhere is mentioned such keyboard.

Problems with Photoshop cs4 for the Mac

I am having all kinds of problems with Photoshop CS4 for the Mac. When I boot the software it seems to work for a while then, I am unable to open upf a file in Photoshop. I drag a photoshop file over the application icon, the whole screen flickers and nothing happens. I am unable to quit Photoshop as the quit choice is grayed out and command-q will not make it quit. I have to force quit. I can repeat this pattern over and over. What is happening? How do I solve this problem?
--Kenoli

Thanks for the reply. I am using Photoshop 11.0.1. I am using the latest version of Snow Leopard. I have found both Photoshop and Dreamweaver to be pretty buggy for several versions now. My suspicions were that they were really engineered for Windows and never really fully implemented for the Mac. Dreamweaver crashes or hangs on me three or four times a day if I us it all day and does various annoying things like refusing to respond to the delete key after I have used it for a while. I have pretty much stopped using it to some degree for that reason and also because there is other software that does a lot of coding things I do much more directly and simply. Also Dreamweaver always seems to struggle to quit when I tell it to quit (that is, it takes a long time and gets hung up at places before it quits) and once it does quit, I always get a message saying that it has unexpectedly quit (even when I have told it to quit).
The problems with Photoshop (starting with just taking a long time to load) have escalated to the point I described today, which makes it almost unusable. I just reinstalled Snow Leopard to see if there was anything buggy in the system software. I will report if problems go away.
Regarding both the refusal to open image files and the grayed out quit command, made me think something like you, i.e. there was some dialogue box open somewhere. However, I couldn't find anything and I don't use two monitors.
So . . . Adobe just seems to be getting more expensive and more buggy.
Incidentally, why is it still running in Rosetta rather than natively? Adobe now has a real Intel processor to work with.
