  • Final Cut Keyboard Template for MacBook Pro

    I saw a rubberized FCP keyboard template that overlays the keyboard on a MacBook Pro, but can't remember where I saw it... Has anyone seen one? I might have seen it in a UK publication...

  • Keyboard issue in Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I have a 15" MacBook Pro and today it developed a keyboard malfunction...the keys around the 'w' key (a, s, d, e) also insert a w when pressed with anything but the lightest touch...probably a bit of dirt or something in the keyboard, is there a way of getting the keyboard out to have a look? or other suggestions as to why this happens? it's very irritating!

    I too have an issue w/ my Macbook Pro keyboard (2nd time since I've owned it) although this one isn't quite as severe as the one reported.
    I started noticing over the past couple of weeks that when I type, I start hearing this odd "click" sound every once in a while. As I started to pay more attention to it, it appears that every time I hit the letter 'E', it sounds like the plastic beneath the key is loose or breaking (?). They key itself feels loose and I'm worried that its going to pop off. (this has happened on my Dell Inspiron a few times and its been an annoying issue ever since as it regularly pops off now).
    Is this something covered under Applecare? (my previous keyboard issue was a couple of dead keys including the spacebar that required a new keyboard).
    Also (side question), when I go to the concierge page to setup a time to visit an Apple Genius, there's GUEST and MEMBER login. Is Member login for those who have Applecare? If so, then what would the member number be? The Applecare agreement # doesn't seem to take.
    Thanks,

  • Keyboard shortcuts for Macbook pro and wireless keyboards.

    I´ve searched for an answer to this issue because it seems so obvious, but I can´t seem to find anything useful. Perhaps I´m just terrible at searching relevant posts here. I apologize if this has been addressed before.
    I´m taking some tutorials (from Lynda.com and Ripple training, to name a few) and in all of them, even those about very recent software, they keep aluding to ye olde long keyboards of yesteryear, when you had tildes and the plus and minus signs were on it's own keys. But most modern mac keyboards, on laptops such as macbook pro's, as well as desktop computers now, use the short keyboard. So, for example, if in the tutorial they explain how to reduce the size of a brush with a shortcut pressing command and the plus sign, that shortcut can't be used in a macbook pro, because to get the plus sign you also need a modifier, which completely alters the function of the sortcut.
    Now, I guess one could simply edit every command individually, but it seems to me there's gotta be a simpler, easier way to fix this, since old long keyboards have been almost fazed out. It amazes me why don't the programs such as Final Cut, to name an Apple proprietary, just come with a preset for long and short keyboards at this point. But they still don't.
    I hope someone can assist me with this issue, and I´m sorry about the syntax and grammar, english is not my native language.

    Tom,
    No I have not asked on a dedicated forum since this is an issue I've had with several programs (I should start to refer to them as apps), however, it's not a bad idea and I'll skim those forums to see if this issue has been addressed. Also, indeed you are right and I made a mistake in my previous post, the + sign comes up by just pressing that multipurpose key, with shift it will produce the asterisk and with option it will produce the bracket. I got carried away with Melophage's first post where the plus sign is used as an example. I apologize to both for my mistake, and I'll try to be more specific and careful in the future.
    Tom and Melophage,
    My keyboard does have the Spanish-ISO mode of input by default, and I've added the US input also, although I hardly ever use it. And indeed, being able to do something simple like zooming on a document or a web page with command and the plus sign is something I can easily manage. However, the things I usually have a problem with are, for example (and I'll be more specific this time), in photoshop cs6 to reduce or increase the size of a brush, you have to press either the left or right bracket. For me to get the left bracket, I have to press option and a multipurpose key that contains these three signs: ` ^ [. Now, in photoshop, as soon as you press the option key, the brush, or whatever tool you have selected, turns into the eyedropper tool, so pressing option and multipurpose key doesn´t get you a bracket, gets you the eyedropper and ignores any other key you press.
    In final cut there is a similar problem with the bracket to make L cuts with a shortcut that uses the bracket, and both programs also make use of the tilde key, which I don't even have in my keyboard.
    You both made me realize, of course, that the problem lies in my regional configuration of the keyboard, and that software makers probably just avoid the hassle of having to come up with multiple different sets of keyboard shortcuts due to those different layouts. I still think this is something that should be addressed right from the box, but now I realize it might not be such a prevalent issue, specially with people who have the US keyboard layout.

  • Are there any known issues for macbook pro freezing (applications mostly) because of internet fluctuations?

    Hi,
    I live in Philippines and our internet speed here is not very reliable.  It fluctuates a lot and sometimes, it would just drop to zero and then kick back in again.  I don't know why this is so - either it's our DSL or our router.  Nevertheless, I just want to know if there are issues with applications freezing in macbook pro (esp safari) due to internet fluctuations, causing the color wheel spin and the my laptop freezing for few seconds or sometimes minutes.  Everything would freeze, all I can move is my mouse and thant's it.  Usually, if an application is not responding, it's only that application. But l noticed this time it's causing the whole system to freeze.  I just recently upgrade to Mountain Lion.

    Welcome to Apple....
    Kumusta Ka?  Ma init pa dyan?
    If you're browsing the web and you're internet connection is slow or sometimes dropping, it is normal for Safari to hang or freeze for a little bit until it connects to the site you're trying to view or visit.
    Try this - go to system preferences - network - advance - dns and change your dns server.
    see image below - let me know if na ayos mo na ang internet mo.

  • Heating Issues for MacBook Pro (early 2011)

    Hi
    Am facing heating issues and am looking for what should be the ideal fan speeds for CPU Temp range
    My Mac Details
    MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
    Processor : 2.8 GHz Intel Core
    Memory : 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Storage : 750 GB SATA Disk
    Graphics : Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
    My standard use is Mac with one VM (Win7) running.
    What I have observed is the Fan speed is generall ~ 2000 rpm for CPU temp range of 55 - 70 Deg C.
    Should the fan be spinnig faster as the base of the machine does become too hot for comfort to be working on Lap.
    Are there any apps that can help me run some tests to montor performance?
    Please help.
    Thanks
    Brijesh

    A MBP should not be used on your lap since your body will act as an insulator that will inhibit heat dissapation.
    Heat generated will be a function of the stress placed on  the CPU/GPU by the number and type of applications you have open.   Skype, video, games, and the like can result in temperatures that  approach and exceed 100 c.  There are internal sensors that will shut  down the MBP if it starts to over heat.
    The temperatures that you have reported are not unusual and are well within acceptable parameters for the MBP.  The fans will start to speed up, when the heat increases, as required.  Some users install fan control software, but I am of the opinion that what the Apple engineers have installed is satisfactory and need not be altered.
    You may encounter a runaway application as described in the following link.  Usually a restart will solve the issue.

  • Keyboard covers for macbook pro 15" unibody

    Is there a website i can find quality keyboard covers for my Macbook pro 15" unibody for the following programs:
    Final Cut Pro
    Adobe (photoshop, after effects)
    I also was looking around for a clear hard case.. is this one a good one? anyone have suggestions?

    Depending on where you are it would be called google.xx and a third x when necessary. On another note, the covers on the apple.com site are quite good. I have the moshi one, it is really good. Except maybe that it gets a bit darker with time.

  • Isolated wifi connectivity issues for MacBook Pro

    When I connect my MacBook Pro to the wifi at my university only google.com and apple.com load. No other websites will load (including gmail.com). It is an isolated issue to my machine with this one particular network, as my iPhone connect to the same network with no difficulties as do other MacBook Pros and PCs around me. My MacBook Pro shows excellent signal strength when connected to that network.
    When I am using my home wifi or wifi and work, I have absolutely no issues with connectivity or loading any pages.
    Can give me an idea as to what might be going wrong?

    There's a reason why the Finder in the dock is doing this. Click on the icon and tell us what the prompt says.

  • OS reinstall issues for macbook pro 10.8

    I have a used macbook pro 10.8.  I erased the macitosh HD and tried to reinstall mountain lion OS*.  Used my appleID but not allowed to download the OS because my appleID does not show any purchase of mountain lion. 
    Am I required to purchase the OS in order to continue? 
    Is there another way?
    *The reason I went about deleting the HD was because the previous owner had an admin. password lock which I lost and clean everything off it. 

    Thanks for your reply. Your suggestion reminded me to try restoring from an earlier backup, but no success. An error stopped the restore process and left me where I started.
    Password reset.... I should have done more research before doing what I did. No more DIY when it comes to computers.

  • Cac reader issues for Macbook Pro

    I am unable to access military web pages with my current cac reader. All of my fellow macbook users are having the same issues. Please advise how to resolve this issue. Thank you for the support

    Flash the Firmware in the USB CAC Reader. Enable DOD Certificates in KeyChain.
    Delete old Keychain Certificates and CAC cache. Copy new Certificates from CAC in KeyChain. Ensure Email address matches what's on the CAC. Specific Email setup information:
    - Setting up Mac Mail
    - Setting up Thunderbird
    Found this unsure on how to do this.

  • Hello! Does anyone knows if its possible to change a US keyboard of a macbook pro for a portuguese keyboard. And how much it is approximatedlly. Thanks

    Hello! Does anyone knows if its possible to change a US keyboard of a macbook pro for a portuguese keyboard. And how much it is approximatedlly. Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You will have to return the Mac and order one with a Portuguese keyboard, if you bought it less than 14 days ago.
    If not, you will have to buy a new Mac (that's because some keys may not fit onto your MacBook Pro keyboard) or just set up OS X with a Portuguese keyboard but with US keys
