The letters e-o on my keyboard is not working properly. Nothing spilled, Laptop not dropped.  I've cleaned out underneath and everything seems fine. Problem happens intermittently but seems to get worst the longer I have the computer on. Any ideas?

Macbook pro  OSX  Version 10.9.4
Top row of letters, e-o, are sluggish and not working each time  press them.
I have cleaned underneath them, I did not spill anything or drop the computer - It just started to happen.
Any ideas????

The behavior of the keyboard not responding after the machine is on and used for a time sounds a lot like swelling under the keyboard…the battery is under the keyboard, processor to the side, and issues with trackpads and keyboards have often ended up being a battery swelling.  Makes it worth while taking the MacBook Pro in sooner rather than later to have it checked.  The techs may ask to keep the machine for a few hours so they can run it long enough to see the behavior if nothing shows immediately on their diagnostics.
When things like this happen, my attitude is on the conservative side…check it out before it can get worse.

  • Why can I no longer install iTunes updates on my computer? I keep getting messages saying it fails, and to do it manually, but then I get popups questioning whether I have the authority to make these changes. And it never updates.

  • I am trying to download the WSJ app the iPad says I have yo sync with my computer...I do not have a computer..any ideas

    I am trying to renew and download my WSJ apple. The iPad tells me I must sync to my computer...I do not have a computer..Any ideas?

    Update your software.  The WSJ app has been updated and requires 4.2 at least.  Your signature says you are running 4.1.
    And you do NOT have to have a computer to buy apps.  I only synch in order to backup once in a while.  But you DO need one to update your iPad software.  So either find a friend or wait until IOS5 for the OTA updates.  I don't know if the Apple store can help you or not.  Someone else might know if they would update your software for you.

    Please define "I had it unlocked".
    If it was not unlocked by AT&T, then it was hacked. Hacked and jailbroken phones can not be discussed here per the TOS.

    Hi Monty12,
    I understand that you are having a problem with the keyboard key for your laptop. I will try my best to help you with this issue. To better guide you, could you please give me some more information.
    1. What is the Model Number of your laptop? LINK: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?

  • Keyboard issue I have a iMac thats about 4 years old, and now the keyboard is not working properly. some keys do not work. Any suggestions ?

    I think I may have a virus! My keyboard is not working properly. When I press the zero key, it doesn't appear. Other keys that do not work include the directional keys, delete key, and others. I tried everything that I can think of to fix it, but nothing sesems to be working. Should I bring the keyboard and=/or the entire computer into my local Apple store+? see, the +? appears before the question mark, and I didn't put it there! Thanks!

    No need to take the computer at this stage.   Just take the keyboard into your local Apple store for examination.   If you have another machine, not necessarily Apple, you could try the board on that or perhaps a friend's machine … they are largely universal.
    You do not have a virus.

    my photo stream does not work at all. I've tried making a new album, but that does not work. So I've tried using an already existing album and deleting the pictures there. I decided to only upload 1 photo from my old phone (iPhone 4s iOS 7.1.1) to see if it'll show up on my new device (iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.1) it doesnt even show up in my new phone (iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.2) this picture is what shows up on both my iPhone 6 and 5 but on the 4s there is a picture that I "uploaded" and a second one that came out of nowhere. I do not know what to do because in the past this has worked out for me and it shows up on all three devices

    You can't restore to a backup that was taken on a device which has a higher version of iOS than on your iPad, you will have to update your iPad to 8.1.3 to be able to restore to it
    You should be able to update your iPad via Settings > General > Software Update

  • Does the 10% Reward Zone or USPS 10% off coupon work on regularly priced laptops (Not a Mac)?

    Hi there... I'm new here, but I'm a Premier SIlver Member and sometimes get coupons in the mail.
    I don't recall if I got some in June 2010 or not, but I'm wondering if there are ever any coupons that can be used towards the purchase of a regularly priced laptop (not Mac).
    I'm debating on purchasing either through Best Buy or another store, and if I could use the coupon, it would definitely tip the scales to BB.
    Thanks in advance, SKCgirl

    Most of the times, the % off coupons can not be used on core products, suchs as TVs, Laptops, Desktops, Apple products, and whatnot. If you check the conditions on the coupon, it will tell you what you can use it for. Hope this helps.

  • SpyHunter 4 is not working as usual on my desktop computer; Kaspersky Antivirus is not working properly on my laptop. Both changes occured after downloading Firefox 4. What should I do

    SpyHunter is set up to run everyday when I turn on my desktop computer. My Desktop runs Windows 5.1. We usually get around 80-100 low level "spy things" that show up and Spy Hunter removes them. Yesterday, after downloading Firefox 4 we got no malware spy hits. Today, we got one, but we got a message that said we had to restart our computer to remove the malware. We restarted and Spy Hunter just wanted to scan again. We stopped the scan.
    Kaspersky Antivirus is set up on my laptop (running Windows 7). After I downloaded Firefox 4, I get a message that states that Kaspersky Antivirus is not turned on. When I open the Action Center of Kaspersky, I shows that the Anti-virus protection is turned off. The rest (firewall, updates, spyware protection, internet security settings, account control are all still "on").
    I find it really strange and somehow connected to the downloading of Firefox 4 since both my desktop and my laptop now have problems with my SpyHunter and Kaspersky.
    Can I, or should I go back to the earlier version? If so, how do I do that?
    Thanks!

    Some third-party vendors do not update their products until after the release of a new browser. That is a shame in that they could have tested for compatibility during the alpha and beta testing period (about one year in the case of Firefox 4). The third-party vendor/developer is responsible for keeping their product(s) compatible with new browsers.
    You will need to contact your third-party vendor and complain as a paying customer who is not getting what they paid for.
    Other newly release browsers, not just Firefox 4, are affected:

  • TS1424 downloaded an entire album and everything is fine on my iPod, but on the computer 7 tracks have an exclamation point and when I try to play those track I get a message that the original files are missing.

    Exlamation point on 7 tracks from an entire album, all the others are fine.  It won't play on the laptop, I get an error message that the original files are missing.  But they play fine on the iPod.

    Try deleting those missing tracks from your computer's iTunes, connect the iPad to your computer and do File > Transfer Purchases - that should copy them back from the iPod

  • The volume buttons on my wired keyboard aren't working properly

    I just bought an Apple keyboard, it is just like the one that come with my iMac a few years ago, and just like the one I had to replace that one with a few years after that. For some reason, when I select the volume up button, I get the widgets and volume down, hides my windows. What do I do?

    Depends on the iMac model. Some have firmware that maps keys differently from older models. What iMac do you have? Do "About this Mac" and see what it says about your processor--that should be enough. IF it says,G3, G4 or G5, you've posted in teh proper place.
    If it says "Intel" you should repost in teh forum for Intel imacs here:
    iMac (Intel)
    Also depends on the keyboard. Turn it over and look for a model number beginning with "A" or "M."
