Update 10.5.2, isplay lighting becomes brighter and darkwhen using keyboard

Hello
I make the new update 10.5.2. When I use the keyboard to write something the display lighting becomes brighter and darker. It makes no fun to work like this.
Is there a posibility to turn this off, or is it a mistake of the new update?
Greats by

Hello
this is caused by the two sensors of the backlicgt of the keybord, not from the keyboard. I turn of the backlight of the keyboard in the system preferences, but it don`t stopp.
Why the sensors control the backligt oft the display???

Hey dheeraj55,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you have been getting an error when you are trying to update the iPhone. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,

I just updated my OS 9 to OS 10.2 and my mouse/keyboard doesn't work!

The mac boots up but for some reason when it gets to the screen that says "Welcome. In a few steps, you'll register your Apple products..." my mouse and keyboard don't work

Hello Shadow24135,
First of all, Welcome to the  Discussion Forums!
By "my mouse and keyboard don't work" do you mean that the screen is frozen at this point but you see your mouse cursor on the screen and it won't respond or is there no cursor displayed?
Are you using a third party keyboard and mouse or an Apple keyboard and mouse? Can you post what model keyboard and mouse you are using?
Have you tried a different keyboard and/or mouse if possible? And have you tried plugging the usb cable into a different usb port to test?
What specific computer model are you using?
You really should go to the sidebar at right ->-> "My Settings" and fill in your computer specs. This helps tremendously when users are trying to help.
Please post back,

Brightness and color loss

I have a 13' macbook Aluminum 2008 . My friend brought a newer Macbook pro and we compare the MacBooks and his lighting was brighter and the color was better. i check my battery cycle count and its over what the limit is. and every now and then my screen flashes off quicky black . Also my battery doesnt last 30 minutes. Can the battery be the problem of my color and light loss

Could be the battery, but have you changed Color LCD in System Prefrences?

MacBook Pro Repeatedly Loads Purple & Teal Stripe, Gray, Light Blue, Bright Blue and Bright Blue Stripe Screens Instead of OS after Optical Drive Replacement by Apple (PICTURES INCLUDED)

17 inch March 26-29 (order date – shipping date) 2011 MacBook Pro, 256GB Solid State Drive, 2.3 GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, 1 processer, 4 Cores, 256 KB L2 Cache per core, 8 MB L3 Cache, 8 GB Memory (8GB 1333MHZ DDR3 SDRAM - 2X4GB), AMD Radeon HD 6750M Video Card, Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 512 MB total of VRAM. 110 GBs of free/unused disk space remaining.
Full Specs are in subsequent post.
The issues described in the title continue even after I’ve reinstalled the operating system twice (Snow Leopard) and installed Mavericks (which is working fine and even faster). I’ve tried many commands to repair this.
If anyone has experienced any of the symptoms above or below, your advice and response will be much appreciated as well as marked. These are the details:
My Early 2011 MacBook Pro has had the typical blue screens, screen freezes and graphics issues since I bought it about three years ago but nothing like this and NEVER any load issues until about a month ago. That was when my superdrive replacement was put in.
Since then my MacBook Pro will go into hard freezes or kernel panics. Then I’ll have to power it down manually and power it up manually. It’ll then refuse to load the OS until after multiple tries. It started out just 2 or 3, then 4 or 5, then 6-12, then 20. Now it takes over 30 boots to load the OS. These boot issues also occur even if it doesn’t freeze, i.e.: when I shut it down or restart it naturally (via the Apple menu, etc.).
95% of the time it’ll load to a gray screen instead of the OS. 4% of the time it’ll load to a light blue screen. Then there are the others: the first time this happened it loaded to the striped purple and teal screen shown in the picture. This happened the next four times then intermittently for about 5 or so more times.
It also loaded gray flickering screens. Flickering screens also occurred right before it froze and had to be manually powered down and up. Then it began to load regular gray and light blue screens and all flickering screens stopped. And then bright blue screens a couple times intermittently for a few days, sometimes with lines. Sometimes it’ll load to a blank/black screen as well. I’d reset the NVRAM and SMC but it still continued, happening multiple times a day, each time taking more and more hard shut downs and hard power ons to finally load the OS.
Until I installed Mavericks, every time it finally loaded the OS Finder began indexing. After Mavericks this has occurred 95% of the time.
After talking to Apple Support they had me do a NVRAM and SMC reset again over the phone. The MacBook Pro refused to load the entire time we were on the phone. After the call it got worse. It froze over 6 times that day and at worse took over 30 boots to load the OS.
I finally had time to deal with it the next day when it froze again. After over 25 boots it loaded and I put in the Snow Leopard OS dvd and ran Disk Utility. I verified the hard drive and it said it was fine. Repaired the disk anyway and it gave this message at the end:
“Updating boot support partitions for volume required”.
Next I tried to start in safe mode and it just hung up for hours. Then started up in single mode and it loaded the OS. It then loaded normally for three times in a row. I reinstalled Snow Leopard. Everything loaded normally. I waited an hour or so and then I downloaded Mavericks. 5 or so hours later Mavericks was installed. Everything hardware wise was fine for a day and all software issues were easily fixable incompatibilities. My Mac was even faster with Mavericks. However, Photoshop did give a perhaps relevant message:
“Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer’s website for the latest software.
GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences.”
(I have OpenGL enabled in Photoshop and it was already checked when this error occurred).
Two days ago I went to Disk Utility to repair permissions while logged in to a non-admin account. Verified and repaired the disk, then verified permissions. Everything fine. After repairing permissions however, it gave a weird error box:
"Unapproved caller, SecurityAgent may only be invoked by Apple software".
The box stayed “stuck” in the Disk Utility window. My MacBook Pro then failed to do anything. I manually powered it down and up. It loaded to a gray screen with the error message box again: "Unapproved caller, SecurityAgent may only be invoked by Apple software".
It then refused to load anything else but this message box on a gray screen even after rebooting it multiple times in safe, verbose and single modes and after resetting the NVRAM and SMC. I went online with an iPad and entered in the error and got some advice. I tried to run fsck and erase the /var/folders/ via single user mode but it still loaded to a gray screen with the error message. I just decided to skip to the end and Cmd-R loaded into recovery mode and reinstalled Mavericks again. That worked: the message has not appeared since.
Some people have said this error is related to a hard drive cable failure. I know that this cable was tampered with during the optical drive replacement procedures because I watched them do it.
Everything was fine for a day. Then yesterday my MacBook Pro froze while trying to open a VLC file. It took 12 boots to load the OS. I tried single mode once and verbose mode once. 10 times it loaded to gray screens, even in those mode. A Safe boot lead to a bright blue screen. Finally reset the SMC and it loaded on the 12th time.
Just five hours ago the same thing happened except it took over 30 boots to load the OS. Single, verbose and normal boots, NVRAM and SMC resets lead to gray screens. Safe boots lead to bright blue screens with and without lines (see pictures). Finally loaded on a normal boot.
I know I should have tried safe booting, verbose, single and recovery modes, disk utility, fsck and other command methods earlier this month but in the end, these methods have not solved the problem anymore than resetting the NVRAM or SMC.
There seems to be conclusive evidence that it’s a hardware problem, stemming from last month, the FIRST AND ONLY time my MacBook Pro was opened up. Maybe it’s the hard drive cable, but it could also be the graphics card and/or logic board (something that’s always been defective on this MacBook Pro, in my opinion). Many early 2011 MacBook Pro owners have given evidence to the latter possibility online.
The first time it started it seemed to stem from me using iPhoto and Photoshop a lot. I had both running continuously for about two weeks. This is another reason for suspecting the graphics card/logic board is at fault (in addition to three years of screen/graphics glitches). And since the card is soldered to the board and the board connected to the cable...I also have serious battery draining issues, something else that got bad after the Apple Superdrive repair. And the battery is connected to the board...
Also, since downloading Mavericks, windows from every app get blurry/fuzzy when I scroll or zoom in. I have read that this is happening to a lot of folks though for various reasons.
I guess it could always be the hard drive. I just don’t know. I’m taking it in to Apple, but can't right away because it’s not local. I know they’ll be able to run a test on the hard drive. I wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem (especially the purple and teal striped screen) before they start poking around, possibly creating another problem that goes beyond my Apple Care Plan allotment.

First off, i think it's sad that i have to use my non apple device to post this question... Why has my iPad become absolutely useless after updating to iOS 8.1? I am unable to use my mini because it crashes, slow performance, major battery drain.

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Firefox 4 Menu Bar - When I hover over or select a menu bar item, the menu bar sub-menu becomes transparent and unreadable. Is this a known issue that can be corrected with an update or is it functionality that is not designed to work with this version?

Firefox 4 Menu Bar - When I hover over or select a menu bar item, the menu bar sub-menu becomes transparent and unreadable. Is this a known issue that can be corrected with an update or is it functionality that is not designed to work with this version?

If this happens on monitor 2 of 2, this problem has been solved here:

Go to "Firefox"--> "Options" --> "Advanced"
Then un-check "Use hardware acceleration when available"
While not verified, I believe this problem is due to an SLI configuration where the focus is on monitor 1. (I.e acceleration is available, but only on monitor 1.)

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    4.    Open iTunes.
    5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

You can get the camera raw 8.8 updater from here for photoshop cc 2014

There is as of yet no update for lightroom 5

You would need to convert the files to dngs first before lightroom would read them.

I have Iphone 5 and updated to IOS 8... I can not receive a call, the Screen become black and I can not answer the phone call

I have Iphone 5 and updated to IOS 8... I can not receive a call, the Screen become black and I can not answer the phone call

Hey there jjroca,
It sounds like you are unable to make or recieve phone calls because the screen goes black. I would start by quitting all the running apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If that does not resolve the issue, I would use the troubleshooting in the following article, named:
iPhone: Troubleshooting issues making or receiving calls
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

4.2.1 is the end of the line for the 3G.

How do I correct the darkest blacks from becoming bright blue when imported into LR?

When shooting in RAW with a Sony RX100M3 the darkest blacks become bright blue when imported into LR. Any ideas when this happens and how I can fix it?

If this is occurring in the develop module the you have the shadow warning turned on and this shows as blue, just like the highlights show as red. You can turn this off by clicking the triangle in the upper left hand corner of the histogram.

Keyboard light auto brightness revert behavior

     I know that older versions of OS X has the behavior that the keyboard backlight is dimmer in brighter environments, but with Yosemite it is obviously the other way around (it gets brighter when environment gets brighter).
     I know Apple must have had a very good reason to revert the behavior, but most usually this reverse behavior only causes me to manually hit F5 for many times to turn off the backlight when daylight comes, and hit F6 for one or two times to turn it back on when night falls. So now I can even be better off with this (reversed) auto backlight feature turned off.
     So I desperately hope that Apple could give users an option to reverse the keyboard backlight behavior. I know there have been discussions on this yet I can't manage to find a solution.
     In the mean time before Apple decides to give users the choice, a temporary solution for this (things like modifying some system configuration files) could really come in handy!

Hey XavierXing,
That is interesting that your backlit keyboard is getting brighter with the ambient light getting brighter. I would start with resetting the SMC as that should correct any irregular behavior. Let me know if this helps or need further assistance.
