Which MacBooks had the unresponsive keyboard

Before i buy one on ebay
I need to know which macs had the unresponsive keyboard problem

The basic MacBook1.1 in this auction would require a retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD ($20) and an upgrade in RAM to the maxiumum this old 2006 (first edition) model can use, two - 1024MB RAM. Just to start.
Maximum Memory
2.0 GB
Memory Slots
2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
And that would be it, regarding a hardware upgrade; no newer OS X can be run in it.
While a solid-state drive could make it run faster, there isn't much need to do so, without software and a purpose to upgrade this; basic web browsing and email, and other things would be about it, even with an SSD. For the cost to get and install the SSD, you could be looking for a 2009 MacBook5.2.
And some resellers include the operating system discs for the software they put inside. As well they should, because the disc is part of the license to have and use the software. And this vendor still includes software without the original installers. So, you can't reinstall anything. It ships with Tiger OS X 10.4, but no DVD; there are no current updated web browsers, for that vintage system. And w/1024MB (or 2- 512MB RAM) it would need more. Two matching chips.
Not recommended IMHO.
Good luck

HT203254 I bought my MacBook Pro since 2008. Now I live in Thailand, and my MacBook had the second symptom (No video on the computer screen (or external display) even though the computer is on). How can I get guarantee in Bangkok?

"That's why I'm wondering whether they still can fix it as lifetime guaranty or not?"
No, not lifetime.
According to the referencd article:
"If the NVIDIA graphics processor in your MacBook Pro has failed, or fails within four years of the original date of purchase, a repair will be done free of charge, even if your MacBook Pro is out of warranty."

HT1695 Both my iPod and my MacBookPro connect with my home Wi-Fi but my iPad will not even after entering the passcode. I have tried Full shutdown and tried other Wi-Fi's for which I had the correct passcode. My iPad would not connect. Any suggestions?

Hi! I am having the same problem. What's odd is that a few days ago- the ipad was connecting to the network fine. No changes made. Other devices can connect to this network. I have also been able to connect my ipad to other networks.
I have reset all network settings, reset my ipad, reset the router, hard stop reboot, turn on/off wifi connection. what's interesting is that when i click the arrow next to the network i am trying to log onto- the ip address, router, and dns numbers come up automatically and the router number does not fill in (also- this process takes a long time- at least 5 minutes).
any thoughts?

How can i find out which Macbook is the right one for me?

I am looking into buying anew laptop and I'm currently considering a macbook as oppose to a windows laptop. which one is the right one for me?
1. I will be using it for my work at college and university so it will need to have a reasonable amount of storage and have the correct programs.
2. I use the internet alot.
3. I have an ipod touch so i will need storage for my music.
4. It will need it to be quite quick.
5. It will need to support some software that i use on windows.
Also, do you think a macbook is what i need as oppose to windows. what are the pros and cons of the macbook

This is the most important question. I would check with your school. They may have a recommendation for what you need and the software you will need to use. They also may have a discount program for you to purchase your computer. If not Apple does have an education discount plan to give you a break.
5. it will need to support some software that I use on windows.
Hard to give an answer for this as we have no idea what your going to be using or what your school requires you to use. My sons college had specific programs he had to have.

Which Macbook is the best?

I'm going off to college in the fall and would like to know which macbook would be the best to buy.

Depending on what you'll be using it for.
Do you want portabilty? Light in weight? Then the MB Air is for you.
Do you want portablity yet need an optical drive? Then go with the 13' MB Pro.
Are you going to use Photoshop/FCP/occasional games? Then go with the 15' MB Pro.
Kinda hard to second guess what you want if you don't specify what apps you plan on using and how long you plan on keeping your MB.

Which macbook is the right one for me

I want to buy a macbook pro but I'm not sure which one is for me I want it for itunes watching movies (don't need a cd drive) for photos so I need it to be crystal clear and can handle like about 10 games like minecraft and gta san andreas plus internet surfing

Madmo jackson,
presuming that you’re trying to decide between MacBook Pro models available new, all of them will let you run iTunes, watch movies, view photos, and surf the Internet. The right choice will come down to what those ten games are; which of those games has the most demanding system requirements, and what exactly are that game’s system requirements? (MacBook Pros aren’t primarily designed for gaming.)

Which MacBook for the tropics?

I will be moving soon to the tropics (Jakarta, Indonesia) for a year and I want to buy a new MacBook for that. I am thinking of buying either the MacBook Pro 15" or the MacBook Air 13".
Which of these models would handle the extreme heat and humidity best? I will be working in a non-air conditioned environment with temperatures of over 35 degrees celcius (95+ Fahrenheit) and humidity of 90% and over.
I am worried whether the Air will be able to handle this kind of heat.
Most of the work will be development related with occasional video watching and some photo editing. Both machines in a normal environment would work well.
Thanks for any tips you can provide,
Johan

for the latest MacBook Air and Macbook Pro's the following apply
Electrical and operating requirements
Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)
Storage temperature: -13° to 113° F (-24° to 45° C)
Relative humidity: 0% to 90% noncondensing

Which macbook is the best for programming?

Ive been doing some research but I cant really figure out what to get. Ill be using it mainly for programming (Python etc.), some minor photoshop and some basic web use. Im positive I want a 13 inch screen but thats really all there is to it. I love the design of the air but Im not sure if itd be able to handle what I want it to do? Itll be my first Macbook so Im not sure what other specifications to really look at!
thank you!

Storage space. You will be amazed at how much storage space photos can take up so compare them with that in mind.

SUM and HUM which no had the priority

Hi all ,
i am using the HUM functionality for the reciepts , is this functionlaity is does the syste generates SUM during TO , if so which the priority and how this is managed , can some one help me on this .
thanks ,
ksr

Hi,
not sure what you mean, but maybe this information can help you further:
it is possible to use handling unit management together with warehouse management. You activate handling unit management independent from storage unit management. Only in case if storage location is full-WM- AND HU-managed, the storage unit management is always active and HU numbers are taken over as SU numbers. In all other cases HUM and SUM are independent from each other and number ranges must be set a way that they are not overlapping.

How do you reset the special keyboard function keys?

I used to use an older external keyboard that had Dashboard as F4. Now I got a newer keyboard that has Launchpad as F4. I was used to the old way, so I went into the keyboard shortcut for Dashboard and set it as F4. To my disappointment, however, it only works when I hold 'fn'. (I didn't expect this, as when the key was set to F13 holding fn wasn't required.) So anyway, that is even worse, and I wanted to change it back. However, it wouldn't let me. (In Launchpad & Dock > Keyboard Shortcuts, there used to be a checkmark next to Show Launchpad with a blank area on the right, but now when I try to click Restore Defaults, it forces me to choose a key... and pressing F4 without holding fn doesn't register.) And I know I can make it use all function keys as standard function keys, but not just for F4. And if I do it for all of them, I lose the other keyboard controls and I don't want that. I don't want to have to be stuck with the FunctionFlip 3rd party tool forever... How can I actually reset they key (or ideally, make it bring up dashboard without holding down fn)? You'd think that if it's so simple to change a setting one way it would be simple to change back. I'd even delete some prefs file if i had to.

I figured out that if you remove the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist file and restart, that restores the keyboard.
Second question: Is there any way to make F4 (without holding fn) bring up Dashboard on Lion that doesn't require FunctionFlip? If it matters, I have a Time Machine backup of the symbolichotkeys.plist file from when I had the older keyboard.

Diagnosing ORA-01555: what table had the unreconstructable block?

We have some very long-running batch processes (i.e. > 20 hours for a single INSERT statement) and we sometimes get ORA-01555 (snapshot too old) failures. Our undo_retention is 10800 seconds=3 hours.
We have discussed (with the development team) the combination of events that are needed for this situation to arise. They are unable to think of a situation where any of the tables (in today's incident, there are 7 of them) would have been updated after this job started.
Is there a method for analyzing the trace file to determine which table had the block that could not be reconstructed due to overwritten UNDO? This might give us ideas for how to avoid this via operational changes (i.e. changing the job schedule).
Of course, we are also pursuing tuning efforts for this query.

Well you could still check to see if there are any uncommitted transactions for those tables:
Query the DBA_DML_LOCKS view (and/or DDL view)
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25513/statviews_3157.htm
select * from DBA_DML_LOCKS
SESSION_ID,OWNER,NAME,MODE_HELD,MODE_REQUESTED,LAST_CONVERT,BLOCKING_OTHERS
10,SCOTT,EMP_READ_ONLY,Row-X (SX),None,1163,Not Blocking
69,SCOTT,EMP_READ_ONLY,Row-X (SX),None,1648,Not Blocking
That shows that two session are holding exclusive row lock on the EMP_READ_ONLY TABLE. As a test I inserted a row from two different sessions but did NOT commit it yet.
The DDL version of the view can be used in addition.

At least in 10g you can tell before you start if there are any issues to resolve. If there are no issues then once you start your query there won't be any issues that could cause the snapshot problem since your query will be first in line.

I have a wired keyboard which won't work with my MacBook Air unless I use the extension cable supplied with the apple keyboard. Is this normal or have I got a connection problem?

I Have an apple wired keyboard which suddenly won't work unless I use the apple ext cable supplied with the keyboard...used with the wire fixed into the keyboard it just won't respond. Do u think the keyboard is faulty. ? I want to use it with my MacBook Air and a big screen.

My best guess is that either there's a small deformation of the USB plug of your keyboard or some foreign matter (like lint) inside the keyboard plug. When I was setting up my new lab last year I had to use the extension cables and I found that the female end of the extension cable was considerably tighter than the computer's USB port. If an Apple store is nearby it would be worth taking the computer, keyboard, and extension just for piece of mind.

I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

My keyboard on macbook pro (laptop) is acting weird. One key is not responding at all. Have verified using Keyboard viewer and some other keys are printing the unresponsive character at random.

my keyboard on macbook pro (laptop) is acting weird. One key is not responding at all. Have verified using Keyboard viewer and some other keys are printing the unresponsive character at random. "z" is the unresponsive character.
Is it a damaged keyboard ?
The laptop is just 2 months old, will Apple replace it with a new one if its indeed a damaged keyboard or just repair, I use it for official purposes so being without a laptop is not much of an option.

No one here works for Apple, so we don't know what Apple might or might not do. If it's a genuine defect, they will of course repair it under warranty. It is not their responsibility if it effects your ability to work or not, so that's on you.
If, however, they determine that the key is problematic as a result of your misuse of the laptop, then everything is on you. And trust me, if they find a glob of dried up beer or coffee there, they will charge you.
Your only choice is to take it in for repair.
