Update switches "keyboard lights" on!

Weird.
I've just updated to QT7.3.1 and now my Caps Lock and Num Lock lights are lit on my 15" Macbook Pro! Even weirder they are in the "Off" state - the Caps Lock has been disabled in Keyboard prefs due to my clumsy typing too!
Anyone else getting this?

'S OK
A restart fixed it

Keyboard light doesn't work after updating to 10.8 on MBP

I have tried to update a MBP from Snow Leopard to Moutain Lion. But after updating the keyboard lights stopped working. Its A MBP from mid 2010 Core2, 2,4Ghz
We have tried to reset the smc.
Tried to untick the automatic brightness contoll of the keyboard llumination in system preferences.
Tried to use F5/F6 and it just shows that the keyboard light is turned on but its completly dark.
Is it coming a an mac os x 10.8 update for this problem?

Sounds like they did an Archive & Install, which leaves you with non-functioning Pro Apps (and Adobe apps, if you have any).
Try removing Final Cut Pro and Compressor and reinstall.

There is an application called FCS Remover, but I am not sure if it works with Final Cut Pro 4.
If it is still not working, I would try what David suggests.
Here is a list Jon Chappell has compiled about what versions of OS X, QuickTime and FCP works best together: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/recommendedquicktime_and_mac_os_configurations_for_final_cutpro.html
If you live close to an AppleStore you could try to bring it back and ask them to help you.
Best of luck!

To switch off the monitor and the keyboard lights?

Hello,
Is it possible to switch off the monitor and the keyboard lights of a MacBook Air while I'm using it at home with an external monitor and keyboard?
Many thanks in advance!

You can turn off the keyboard lights by unchecking System Preferences > Keyboard > keyboard tab > Automatically illuminate keyboard in low light. Then use F5 to lower the keyboard to off.
The Monitor can't be switched off but can be reduced to almost off using the F1 key.

Try to start up in Safe Mode. It uses a "one size fits all" display mode, runs one pass of Disk Utility "Repair Disk" as it starts up, then loads with minimal extensions and presents a login screen (even if you normally auto-login). It takes five minutes or more.
If you get a picture, use System Preferences > Displays ... to change your screen resolution at least once.

Keyboard light not working on boot camp!

Hi
I received some updates for the Boot camp just recently, and since then the keyboard light doesn't turn on anymore when it gets dark! I'm working on the windows XP...
I feel i made a huge mistake accepting the update!!!!
has anyone encountered such problem?
Thanks

Have you tried manually turning it on?
Press the F8 button I believe to toggle the backlight
You may have accidentally switched it off or something
If that doesn't work, try F10 to brighten it just to see if it's working

Keyboard lighting at the login screen?

Hi,
I have a mid 2011 MBA with 10.7.4. Lion used to have the feature where the keyboard light had its own setting for the login screen. This way I could set it so that the light was on at the login screen and went off right after logging in.
After installing ML today it seems that this is not the case anymore. If I switch off the light in my account, the light is off also at the login screen. Is it supposed to be like that? I guess, there's no setting for this in ML?

Could someone please test this? Resetting SMC and PRAM didn't change the situation.

I just bought a Macbook pro and the keyboard lights flash on and off. What's wrong? do I need to take it back?

ahhhh help!

you can switch off the automatic lighting of the keyboard by going to system preferences then keyboard and uncheck 'automatically illuminate keyboard in low light' . after this you can control your keyboard light by using the buttons F5 and F6 at the top of your keyboard

How to stop keyboard lighting change?

Ok so my question is pretty straight forward, I want to know how I can stop the illuminated keyboard from changing lighting levels when I go from a dark room to a lit room.
For example, lets say I'm in a dark room and I illuminate the keyboard on the MBP by about two levels, if I take my laptop to my bathroom and switch the light on the keyboard illumination level jumps to like the 8th level. I want to make it so that when I go in between the lit room and dark room that the keyboard lighting does not change levels.

It is unchecked, and I think the setting your talking about has to do with the keyboard illuminating by itself when it's in the dark, what I am trying to fix is the illumination levels on my keyboard from changing from low to high when I take my MBP from a low lit room to a bright room.
I'm starting to think theirs no setting to change what is going on. :/

X200 keyboard light no longer works in Win7

I just updated the BIOS to the newest one (released Sept 2010). I'm using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. My keyboard light was working in Vista a week ago, but after installing windows 7, the light stopped working. Anybody know a fix?

boot into bios menu (press F1 during laptop startup), now press the Fn + PgUp to see whether the light works. If it doesn't then you have a hardware or bios firmware fault.
You could try reflashing the bios to an older version and see whether that fixes the issue.

Qosmio X770 - key malfunction - Mute instead of keyboard light

Hello everyone
My Qosmio X770-13C makes me crazy, let me explain:
When I want to use the keyboard light that makes sound muted and I do not understand why.
The FN key works only when I reactive flash cards.
All my drivers and BIOS are up to date. What to do?
Somehow I think that latest Windows update caused it.
Thank you in advance for your answers

Multimedia buttons are controlled by Toshiba value added package.
Visit the Toshiba EU driver page and download the latest VAP.
Now uninstall the installed VAP.
Reboot the notebook.
Install the new downloaded VAP

Ipad wireless keyboard light

New wireless keyboard. Bluetooth 'ON' , both keyboard and Pad.
Indicator light behaves strangely. Can't turn it off by re-pressing the switch.
Other reasonable conditions turn off the light, like turning off the iPad.
Issue is 1) Preserving batteries; 2) Driving under control.
Could be faulty switch, faulty light, erroneous microcode.

Rather than waste your time trying to troubleshoot, take the KB in for a warranty replacement (still in warranty within one year).

The keyboard lights went off... for good (N900)

Hi.
All of a sudden, my keyboard lights on the N900 stoped working, also my charge light(orange light) stoped working although in the setting I set it up to show up when charging.
Any Idea for either of them ?
Thank you.

The method to seek warranty varies by location and other factors...so there is no way to tell you exactly what your warranty method is. Instead, you need to review your original purchase contract for the device...in that contract, your warranty terms and methods will be documented, and that is what you must follow. Since I cannot see your original device purchase contract, I cannot know what it says...only you can see your contract, and therefore know what it says. If you are unsure, then talk to the seller (to you) of the device and ask them what your warranty terms and methods are.
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

C6-00 keyboard light not working....

Recently when i sms using keyboard on phone suddenly the light on keyboard turn off and i still typing a work...Any solution for this...Plus when my keyboard turn off my LCD light still on....Also did we nid to bring our phone to nokia center to service?When?FOC?

Hi,
There are light sensors in the C6-00, the keyboard light will switch on only when the sensors sense that the phone/ keyboard is in dark place.. if there is sufficient light (or light falling on the sensors) then the keyboard light doesnt glow.
Hope this helps!
