What's up with the dirty keyboard?

Love the look & feel of the new Mac Pro thin keyboard. Why is it way dirtier after one week of use than my PowerMac G5 keyboard (also white keys) was after 4 years? I don't think I've suddenly gotten dirtier. Not a big deal in grand scheme of things, but if it looks this bad after a week it's gonna be downright nasty in a couple of months. I have some high-maintenance clients who will see me working on grungy old-looking equipment. In my world - design - that sort of thing has a bit more weight than it might in other areas. Yes, keyboards can be cleaned, not a problem, but after a week? What's up with that? Otherwise this system is amazing and keyboard is fun to use. Anyone else seen this? Or am I suddenly dirtier/greasier than I thought?

I wish the people who oversee this site would do a better job of notifying people when the posts they make get responded to. I think I'm losing 10 percent of them.
TCY, see my little winking smiley face? Like this one?
I was just kidding!
Of course, a thin pair of gloves really might solve the problem though. Maybe an innovator like Apple should start supplying them with every new mac they sell. The press would like it. "Apple now gives free Gucci gloves to every person who buys a Mac!" PC owners would be so jealous.

  • What's best, with or without keyboard?

    What's best, with or without keyboard?

    I bought a cover for my iPad that included a bluetooth keyboard. For simple typing, the on-screen kbd is OK. For more complex typing the kbd is much easier/quicker to use. The disadvantages are the extra cost and added weight/size.
    However, the wraparound case provides extra drop/scratch protection for the iPad

  • What is it with the onboard devices on Neo2 Plat.

    What is it with the onboard devices on the Neo2 Plat. The sound really really sucks. Bass is like not there at all, other sounds is of LOW quality - Even with the Nforce driver the sound sucks, infact this is the WORST onboard sound I have ever tried.
    The wireless module is also a tragic "thing". Keeps reseting ur conection every 15 mins or so (I have 3 computers with wireless, the Neo 2 Plat is the only haveing this problem).  When the wireless is working (until the next reset in 15 mins) the Package loss is like 40%???? What is that.
    I thought I had a "DOA" MOBO device, GOT ANOTHER ONE. SAME SHITE.
    Even tried the Win64 RC edition, guess what, same problems.
    If I am wrong about this let me know (find it hard to belive since I have tested 2 Neo2 Plat, with the same problems).

    take a look at the new apple wireless keyboard... they use the same layout.

  • Mac mini issue:lost connectivity with the wireless keyboard

    I lost connectivity with the wireless keyboard and I can't unlock the lock screen.What can i do?

    Sometimes powering the keyboard off by holding in the power button on the right end of the battery box and then after ten of so seconds powering up again will reestablish the connection. Other than that forcing a reboot using the power switch on the mini should  restore the connection unless thereis something else going on.
    If this is a recurring problem try replacing the batteries with fresh ones. If this keyboard has been paired with another bluetooth device such as an iPad or another Mac, unpair it from the other device.

  • Does Expose work with the wireless keyboard?

    I've been trying to use Expose with no luck. I hit F9 and I either fast forward through a video or nothing happens (depending on whether iTunes is on).
    I've opened Expose in preferences and confirmed the keys, even changed them to see what happens. Nada. I can only think that it might have to do with the wireless keyboard. I do have Expose set for my mouse but when I deselect that it doesn't change the fact that I can't access with my F buttons.
    What do you think?
    Cheers,

    Julien-
    I have the Apple MC184LL/A Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard.  The brigtness control works with mine, as do most of the other functions.
    Try cycling the keyboard off and on.  Hold the power button until the green LED goes out.  Then press it one more time to turn it back on.
    You might try resetting the iPad's network.  Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings.  Then you may need to reconnect your WiFi and Bluetooth.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting/rebooting the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart in a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • I have no idea what to do with the payments for stuff I bought on iTunes.

    Ok I had a card from a rebate atatched to the account and it has just expired. Now itunes wants me to pay from a different card for the things I bought in the week before it expired. I had the amount needed to pay for what i bought on the rebate card and bought my last thing before the card expired because i thought it would be stupid to let the money go without actually using it. I was looking today (it expired overnight) at itunes and now its saying i need to pay for them because the have not been pasyed for yet or something like that and i need to update the billing adress but i cant and dont want to one because i dont want to pay for something i had already had the money to pay for and they didnt charge me on it or something and 2 because i dont have another card to use bc i do not have a credit or checking or any card bc other than the rebate card i only have cash. sorry my question is so long but thank you for all the help you people can give me. ps i cant even get a card bc im 15

    The rebate card that my mom let me use was after they had bought a new phone and try had let me have what was left on it 7.92 and it counted as a visa credit card so I could use it to activate my account the problem is that I bought the stuff before it expired and it is now expired and it's sayin I still need to pay for what I bought with the old card and I don't want to pay twice for the same things that's just stupid I'm goin to get a gift card for the lowest amount so I can still get the free stuff but I don't think I should be responsible to pay for something thy I bought with a card that had the money on it for them to charge bc they debt send out the bill to them when I got the stuff bc there is stuff on it for like Monday saying I need to pay for it when the card didn't even expire till Thursday night

  • What's wrong with the activation server? i just bought my ipad wifi celllular... and have a 3g cellular network connection... when i press the bottom to activate my ipad it says the activation server cannot be reached. what to do then?

    Hey aries35,
    I found the following that goes over troubleshooting the same issue for the iPhone. I know you have an iPad, but the steps should still apply:
    Perform the following steps:
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

    the error when i run the code is like that:
    javax.media.rtp.InvalidSessionAddressException: Can't open local data port: 29261
    5
    java.io.IOException: Address already in use: Cannot bind 2
    which means there is error in :
    mgr.initialize(localAddr);
    mgr.addTarget(destAddr);
    But i don't know what's wrong with the code,
    can any one help me?

    I do not find any problem using the same ports for local and destination address with several unicasts. My problems are others.
    But note that the error is even at constructing the localAddress, I mean before trying the destinationAddress. Thus the reason cannot be the former is already in use. In fact I think the later belongs to a remote hosts. Likely, it is trying to access the destinationAddress through the localAddress, but this has not been constructed properly.

    Léon Hoeneveld's response works for me.  You will need to download a tool that allows you to edit the WSDL and reorder the values. 
    I've used a freeware tool like notepad++  collapsed all the levels and opened up the <wsdl:definitions xmlns:wsdl... segment and reordered the subgroups beneath it accordingly.
    1. types

    Thanks again Léon!

    Moderator Advice:
    If this is the same E2900 that you have mentioned in every one of your other forum posts, then it would seem you need to contact Technical Support and open a proper support request. These forums are NOT techsupport and that system seems so poorly configured that it needs deep analysis. Such investigation cannot be done by using an online forum.
    The immediate solution is to log on to the SC of that box and power it down, then boot it back up. At least it will be running after that.

    In other words, you have set a declaring of a Circle, but it has not been created in memory yet.
