weird language on keyboard, how to fix this?
If you see a "globe" key on your keyboard, hold it down to get a list of the activated layouts and select English.

My primary keyboard is English UK and secondary one Spanish. Until now when switching keyboards languages the spell check would automatically change to the desired language. Somehow it does not happen anymore. Any ideas on how to fix this?
The keyboard doesn't normally play any role in Apple apps regarding spellcheck. That is determined by system prefs/keyboard/text/spelling. Go the setup item at the bottom of the list and make sure that British English and Spanish are the only two boxes checked, and then set it to Automatic. How well it works varies a lot. You may also need to check Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar.
If you are still using Pages 4, spellcheck is determined by Inspector > Text > More > Language. Make sure that is set to the right thing for what you want to do. -

My backlight on my macbook pro unibody is not working. The lights do not come on. Does anyone know how to fix this manually? Im also missing screes to the back of my computer holding it in shape. My battery needs to be replaced as well. How do i do all of this? Id also like to replace my RAM.
For the keyboard backlight:
Have you tried pressing the "lights on" F-key, that has like a half-round rays of light over a bar symbol (currently F6 on my Mac, but may be different on other models)? If it doesn't work, does anything show on the screen?
If a crossed-out symbol pops up onscreen when you press the F-key, that means that automatic keyboard lighting is enabled and the Mac thinks surroundings are too bright already. Go to System Preferences / Keyboard and uncheck the "Automatically illuminate keyboard..." item, then try again.
For the screws:
Visit www.powerbookmedic.com or www.ifixit.com and see in their Mac parts section for a replacement screw set. You will need to know your Mac's model, printed on the bottom lid, to ensure you get the correct parts for that particular computer.
For the RAM:
While in either of the two places I mentioned above, visit their How-To / DIY section for instructions on how to replace RAM on your Mac. Then visit www.crucial.com, www.corsair.com, www.kingston.com, www.otherworldcomputing.com or any other RAM maker, use their RAM advisor together with your Mac's model to select the correct RAM upgrade kit for your Mac. -

I have a problem with the keyboard on my MacBook. The letters are typing as symbols and the delete and return/enter buttons do not work. Does anybody know how to fix this?
Hey skyshade13,
Thanks for the question. The following article outlines how to restore a previous iTunes library should there be no content after updating. While the article does not speak specifically to your symptoms, attempting the steps by utilizing the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder may resolve your issue.
No content shows up in iTunes after updating

I am using usb/my keyboard to record an original song. I play the melody on my keyboard but the rhythmic notation shown is not correct. i.e. a dotted 8th and 16th pattern has rests, 32 notes,etc. and most is incorrect. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
What is your GarageBand version? Are you using the most recent GarageBand 10.0.x or an earlier version?
I play the melody on my keyboard but the rhythmic notation shown is not correct. i.e. a dotted 8th and 16th pattern has rests, 32 notes,etc. and most is incorrect. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
The rhythmic notation in GarageBand is the best estimate, based on the length of the notes you played and the "quantize" settings. You can correct the score somewhat by adjusting the note values in the Piano Roll view and by selecting notes and picking a suitable time quantize setting in the track editor, e.g., if you wanted to play triplets, set the quantize value correspondingly:
But I never could get GarageBand to show the dotted notes and rests correctly.
If your main goal is to create a musical score and not to mix music, better use notation software instead of GarageBand. -
My Macbook keeps losing the desktop appearance and keyboard settings. How to fix this?
My Macbook Pro keeps losing the desktop appearance and keyboard settings randomly after going to sleep. They go back to default settings. I run the very last update of Snow Leopard.
How to fix this once and for all?How do I cleanly disconnect. I usually go to File, quit RDC.
someone told me that it could be my old macbook tying it up but most everything has been wiped off of that computer. -
my iphone went into recovery mode for some reason and is unable to be restored. it wont turn on and when plugged into a charger it shows a usb and itunes symbol. so i plugged it into my mac and connected to itunes then itunes said it has detected a phone in recovery mode and needs to be restored. so it goes through the restoration process for a couple minutes or so then stops and says itunes is unable to restore because an unknown error occurred (2001) or (2006) and other times i try it says its unable to restore because itunes cant detect the device... any ideas how to fix this?
Errors 2000-2009 (from Apple support): If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
2001: Use up to date software. Make sure your device is in DFU Mode: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
2006: Use a different USB cable. Possibly the one that came with your iPhone. -
I plug my iphone 3gs into my laptop and it no longer syncs with my iTunes. I've tried all the trouble shooting methods and nothing works. My iPhone doesn't appear on iTunes or under "My Computer." Does anyone know how to fix this?
If AMDS is running, you are using a USB port directly on the computer and not a hub, you have disconnected other USB devices except keyboard and mouse, you have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, You have tried cleaning the connector on the bottom of the phone, you have tried a different cable, you have installed the latest USB drivers for your computer, you have disabled your antivirus and firewall, you are running as an Administrator account and you have tried creating a new user on your computer and connected when logged in as that user then you have exhausted my knowledge. The only other thing to try is a different computer. If it isn't recognized on a different computer you have a hardware problem. Good luck!

My iphone dosen't doesn't make key tone sounds anymore when I write a text message or when I want to dial a phone number I don't know how to fix this problem, I don't hear the clicking noise anymore does anyone know how to fix this problem?And all the sounds on my phone are on, even the keyboard clicks.
Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, double check the volume button just in case. If you still can't hear the tones go into your settings>sounds and make sure the options are on.

recently updated to the latest version of Itunes (11.1) and when i try to play music or tv shows, the sound lasts only for a second before going completely mute, anyone know how to fix this?
Check this thread out -> iTunes 10.4 & Multimedia Keyboard
It doesn't look like there is a fix yet, but some people in the thread are pointing to this workaround:

Following some suggestion i seem to have found a solution for the problem and my play/pause, next and previous buttons work with iTunes 10.4.1
- You need to open a text editor (like notepad) as an administrator.
- Open the SetPoint players.ini file (C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP\players.ini)
- Edit the line under the [Players] section to match the line bellow (bold is the wndClass which is to be changed)
iTunes=wac,iTunes.exe,ITWindow,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,iTunes
- Save the file
- Restart the SetPoint and hopefully play/pause, next and previous buttons should work (at least they work for me) -
I had Acrobat Standard 9.5 on a laptop that broke. Adobe Acrobat Standard is paid for and all I need. I had to get a new PC (Windows 8.1) and I did downloaded Standard 9.5 but when I went to install it the installer gave me an “Error applying transforms please ensure specified transform paths are valid”. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Rahul,
No error numbers other than the message I mentioned previously.
I tried the transforms repair and it reported no Acrobat product (correct, none yet installed) or no administrative privileges (I am the administrator and have done previous administrative actions).
When I unzip the Acrobat file this is what is in the setup ini file:
[Startup]
RequireOS=Windows XP
RequireMSI=3.0
RequireIE=6.0.2600.0
[Product]
msi=AcroStan.msi
Languages=1033;1031;1036
1033=English (United States)
1031=German (Germany)
1036=French (France)
CmdLine=TRANSFORMS="AcroStan.mst"
[Windows XP]
PlatformID=2
MajorVersion=5
MinorVersion=1
ServicePackMajor=2
[MSI Updater]
Path=WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe
Thoughts?
Thanks again,

Don't know how to fix this - status says no internet connection, yet I'm on the internet.
So this is a weird one.
I got this new MacBook Air and the WiFi started up without a hitch. I had finished migrating from my old computer to my new one and all of a sudden the status bar signal went from full bars to an exclamation point. The info says Alert: No Internet Connection, yet I am on the internet at full speed. Even though I have restarted several times, the status in the status bar remains the same. Since internet is running smoothly, part of me says to forget about it, but it bothers me.
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this issue without ruining my internet connectivity on this computer?
Thanks!Migration may have corrupted the network preferences ..
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go then move all the files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
See if that makes a difference.
Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.
