The keyboard in my MBA is not responding. The power button works fine and backlight is operating, but nothing else. I have tried SMC and Terminal but nothing helped. Would anyone have any idea what the problem might be? Thank you for your time.

MBA keyboard not responding. SMC didn't work.

If the USB keyboard still works after you log in, then the machine needs to be repaired.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

  • I have a MacBookPro6,2 and would like to connect an older Dell flatscreen, model L17BNS. I would welcome any information about the type of cable I need and any settings I might need to change, etc. Thank you for your time.

    It has DVI ports.  This means you are best to use an adapter that supports DVI.  Note there is no audio that carries over DVI.  What you need is a mini-Displayport to DVI adapter, and the proper DVI cable. Since Dell doesn't have the specs, you'll need to tell us if you have pins or holes, and how many are grouped.

  • I have quicktime pro and it does NOT have the screen record mode that Quicktime is suppose to have.  Can I uninstall it and go back to an older version that would have screen recording?  If so, how?  Step by step needed.  Thank you for your time.

    Did you remove Quicktime X?
    On a normal install Quicktime 7 is installed in the Utilities folder and Quicktime Pro in the main Applications folder.
    You will need to reinstall OS X to get Quicktime X back if you have deleted it.
    I notice yor profile says 10.5.8. Quicktime X is only available on 10.6 and above.

    You would need to have burned the disc using iDVD or a third-party application such as Toast. Is that what you did?

  • How can I enter my podcast in more than one category?  Mine covers arts, education and society and culture, but is listed as "Performing Arts".  Thank you for your time!

    How can I enter my podcast in more than one category, to reflect the fact that it covers arts, education and society and culture?  Thank you for your time!

    You can have more than one category - this page shows you how the tags are formed:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#category
    The Store will list only the first category and its sub-category at the top of the page. Like the first category, the others will in theory make your podcast available for searching by category. However searching just on the category in the iTunes Store is most unlikely to throw up your podcast. There are thousands of podcasts out there, and it would be quite impossible to display on one page the entire list for any category. What you see are 'featured' podcasts, chosen by Apple as being special; please see this Tech Note:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#getfeatured
    Note that there is no way you can influence the selection other than making your podcast really special.
    If you have further questions about making your podcast it's better to ask them in the Producing Podcasts forum.

  • When I open Firefox I get an error saying "Connection was reset". I went through the articles and did what they said for a situation like this but it didn't fix it. However you can help would be most appreciated. Thank you for your time. Tyron

    It also says underneath "Connection was reset" "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." Despite doing what the articles said to do in this situation it hasn't solved it yet.

    HI, and thank you for your reply.  I am a bit confused  however as I would have thought that once I turned off the engine of my car the transmitter and ipod would be also off???? Is there still power coming into the cigarette lighter when the car is off>????? i have a mercedes c class.  The cigarette lighter is still working and the transmitter is still working.  Are you saying that by leaving them still plugged in even though the car was idle and not running it still destroyed  the hard drive????  Also could this happen if a person leaves it docked in a radio cd player but is not listening to it, is it still charging and could this have burned out the hard drive.  (i always left it docked) until i bought the transmitter for the car.
    Your thoughts would be much appreciated as obviously I do not want to make the same mistake again.
    kind regards

  • I have existing projects made in iMovie and now I can't play them or edit them... any idea what's going on? Thank you

    I have existing projects made in iMovie and now I can't play them or edit them... any idea what's going on? P/s M preview window is totally blank.  I can't figure out what went wrong. Thank you

    For iMovie to see your projects, they must be in a certain place. If they are on your startup internal hard drive, they must be in the Movies/iMovie Projects/ folder. If they are on an external drive, they must be in the iMovie Projects/ folder at the top level of the drive. Is it possible that your projects have been moves somewhere else?

  • I got my ipod touch (4th generation) on March 20,2012, and it fell out of my pocket and cracked the screen. I would like to know how much it costs to get it repaired and how much insurance costs. Thank you for your time.

    I got my ipod touch (4th generation) on March 20, 2012, and it fell out of my pocket when I jumped. Unfortunantly, the screen cracked very badly, and it has become a hazard, not only for the many cuts I have gotton on my fingers from the ipod screen's broken glass, but for what I type (because the screen is cracked so badly, I cannot see what I am doing). The ipod has become pointless to own in its condition. I would like to know how much the repair would be, where the best place to get it done is located, and how much future insurance would cost in the United States. Thank you for you time.

    See "Repair Pricing."
    No clue where you can purchase insurance but it's probably not worth the price.

  • I believe that Samsung is copying apple with the same feature of being able to take a screenshot method and I think that apple should look into this feature thank you for your time

    I just found out that Samsung s3 have the same method that make you capable of taking screen shot by pressing the home and power button  and apple was the first. One I believe to have come up with this feature and I would like to know why is samsung copying apple please

    Imitation is the best form of flattery.  But that is just the key combination used for a screenshot.
    Samsung will never run iOS and must keep up with Android OS versions (and all of it real or imagined security holes, which I cannot comment on fully).
