TS1996 Key board on mac air malfunctioning

mac air laptop won't let me type in password to log on. Any suggestions?

Yes. I would suggest trying to use a can of compressed air to see if you can remove any foreign debris that may be stuck under any or all of the keys on your MacBook Air's keyboard. If that doesn't resolve the problem, and you have another USB keyboard handy, you can try using that keyboard (plugged into the MBA).
If neither one works, I would suggest that you make an appointment with the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store to have them take a look.

  • 6 keys "5tgb-[" on mac air keyboard do not work or act up

    6 keys: "5tgb-[" on mac air keyboard do not work or act up. No known damage.

    I took it to the Apple store and they checked it for free. They stated that they found liquid inside (to my great surprise), which costs $800 to fix. I declined, since a new one costs $1100. Even AppleCare would not have covered it, so it was not a problem that my 3-year AppleCare just expired.
    I find it quite a coincidence that 2 of us had exact same problem within a week and we both posted it.

  • How do I have iWork if I already have the key on my mac air?

    Hi guys,
    I am a dummy Mac girl. Can any one tell me how can I install IWork in the air if I have the IWork license? and I don't have the external drive.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi qyang,
    How did you obtain the license? Did it come preinstalled with your machine? Did you purchase the software via the Mac App Store? You should be able to download the trial via Apple's website and then just register it with your key.

  • The keys on my mac air and slowly losing function.

    The keys on my laptop and slowly losing function. They all still have a back light. Do you know if Apple replaces the keypad on MacBook Air? Thanks

    You may have this sorted out by now - but if not try resetting your Language to English.  I had the issue and found the emoji keyboard was set to spanish.

  • In mac air when i type g it types   how to correct key board button

    In mac air when i type g it types as ©. I am typing g by pressing fn key and g key together.
    can some body help me.

    Thanks a lot for your support.
    It did not work.
    I am using MacBook Air since three years. Had no problem with letter g button. Since a month I see whenever I press g, the character © appears instead of g. For typing g I hold fn button and press g button, then I get g. If I do not hold down fn button and if  I press g button I get ©. (sorry for repeating)
    can you or others now help ?

  • My Macbook air 2011, one line of key board (a to l) do not respond, but when an external keyboard is hooked up these keys starts functioning as normal, after disconnecting the external key board (from the USB) the problem comes back...Please help. Thank y

    My Macbook air 2011- key board (a-l) do not respond, but when you hook up an external key board to the usb these keys on the computer also starts functioning as normal and when you disconnect the external key, these keys stops functioning...?

    Perform SMC reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • How do I pair an apple key board to a brand new mac mini?

    How do I pair an apple key board to a brand new mac mini?

    Have you tried a wired keyboard to turn on the BT system?  Macs can require some special key-combinations that *must* be seen before the OS starts and BT sometimes does not activate before the OS.

  • Does wireless Key board Model # A1016 work with the Macbook air?

    I have an old Apple wirless key board Model # A1016, I am trying to pair it with my Macbook air. Doesn't seem to be working, does anyone know if it is even compatible or not?

    My understanding is that the BWI uses an 802.11b wireless standard that is perfectly compatible with the built-in reception that the MBA has.
    Is there anything that would lead you to doubt the compatibility?

  • Uneconomical to replace the logic board in 2009 Mac Air. Any comments please?

    I have a 2009 Mac Air which has been found to have a faultyskin sensor. I was advised that it would be uneconomical to replace the logic board. I would appreciate any comments.

    What was the repair cost quoted? Compare amount to the typical selling price of a similar model on eBay. I suspect the repair will cost very close to, if not more, than the selling price. If so consider, selling it for parts and buy a new or refurbished one.

    1. Press the F2 key couple of times.
    2. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    If this does not help, contact Apple.
    Best.

  • Sticky caps keys on mac air

    The caps lock light on my Mac Air 13 stopped working, and the right shift key is now locking caps.  Nothing was ever spilled on the keyboard.  How can this be fixed?

    Which version of photoshop and mac os x are you using?
    Shift + F5 or Shift + Delete doesn't bring up the Edit>Fill dialog?
    I don't think the Caps Lock key can be assigned as a keyboard shortcut in photoshop.

  • Complete iPhoto event of daughter's prom gone.  Happened during iPhone 3 synch to mac air. No mojo, no weird key strokes, just another ordinary sync.  Event gone.  Apple no resolution.

    Complete iPhoto event of daughter's prom gone.  Happened during iPhone 3 synch to mac air. No mojo, no weird key strokes, just another ordinary sync.  Event gone.  Apple no resolution.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    were the prom pictures on the iPhone 3 to begin with?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
