Why my p key p0 gives me on my Mac Book Pro Keyboard

why my p key p0 gives me on my Mac Book Pro Keyboard

The p and 0 characters are in the same diagonal column on the keyboard, hence share one of the keyboards printed circuits. The behavior you describe, involving two or more keys that are associated by location or arrangement, often indicates damage to the keyboard. This damage can be from dirt or a circuit failure, but usually results from a liquid spill onto the keyboard creating a short circuit; this short circuit can link two rows or columns, or just two keys in the same row or column.
A good way to test for this is to use a different keyboard. If the problem disappears when using the different keyboard, then it can be assumed the original keyboard is damaged. If this is the case, the question then is to consider whether to attempt repairs, or replace.
(translation via bablefish -)
Le p et les caractères 0 sont dans la même colonne diagonale sur le clavier, par conséquent la part un des circuits imprimés de claviers. Le comportement que vous décrivez, impliquant deux clefs ou plus qui sont associées par endroit ou arrangement, indique souvent des dommages au clavier. Ces dommages peuvent être de la saleté ou d'un échec de circuit, mais résultent habituellement d'une flaque liquide sur le clavier créant un court-circuit ; ce court-circuit peut lier deux rangées ou colonnes, ou juste deux clefs dans la même rangée ou colonne.
Une bonne manière de déterminer ceci est d'utiliser un clavier différent. Si le problème disparaît en employant le clavier, alors lui différents peut être supposé que le clavier original est endommagé. Si c'est le cas, la question alors est de considérer si essayer des réparations, ou les remplacer.

    Why won't quicktime player work? I own Mac Book Pro with Retina Display and connote get the quicktime player to open or play quicktime movies?

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
    You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

  • HT202663 each time I go to mail it asks me to join a wireless network. I choose the one I have and dont know why I dont stay connected. I took my mac book pro to vermont and joined the network at my house there, when I got back to ny I joined here but it

    my mac book pro would connect automatically to my wireless network in ny. then I went to vermont with my computer and connected to my wireless network there. when I got back to ny I changed it back to my wireless connection here but it wont stay connected. each time i go on mail it asks me to join a network. it hink i did all the right steps but it wont stay joined.

    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take all the applicable steps in this support article.  
    Step 2
    If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
    From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
    If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
    Step 4
    This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 6
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

  • Why won't videos sync with iphoto from my mac book pro to my ipad

    I have downloaded photos and video taken recently to my mac book pro, however when I sync my iPad to my mac book pro just the photos are imported, the videos are not transferred to my iPad, why?

    They need to be in the correct format to play on the iPad 2.  This is 720p H.264 Main Profile 3.1, AAC audio at 128k bitrate stereo.  You can transfer videos to the iPad really easily with Pic Share it.  You just drag and drop them from the Mac to the iPad and the video will show up in your camera roll.  It's a free application.

  • Why won't my iPhone 4 connect with my Mac Book Pro?

    My Mac Book can see my iPhone, but cannot connect to it.  Also, my bluebud x Jaybirds work fine with my iPhone 4, but are not seen by my Mac Book.

    Well snozdop as you can see, I am new around here.  In most online forums you can "bump" an old thread and get new responses, rather than making a whole new thread about the same question.
    So I was hoping by pointing out the fact that Panicazi (who seems to have to deleted his profile, maybe because of people like you) said that "This solved my question" when in fact it didn't, because you asked...
    "For what purpose are you trying to connect the iPhone to the Mac via Bluetooth?"
    and then said
    "Apple have never said "why" their implementation of Bluetooth is the way it is.
    However, there are over 20 different Bluetooth profiles - not every device supports, or needs to support every profile. Some Bluetooth profiles would be useless on some Bluetooth devices.
    File transfers over Bluetooth are slow. For the multi-gigabytes media files an iPhone it would be impractical for file transfers. USB 2 is many times faster."
    didn't answer why his "...Mac Book can see my iPhone, but cannot connect to it..."  or the rest of his question; someone might respond with an answer, rather than a rude comment.

  • Since the price for mac book pro is much expensive than others for the same configuration, give me some reasons that why choose mac book pro?

    I like Apple for both iPhone and iPad and I consider to buy a Mac book Pro recently. However, I haven't used mac book before. I have a alienware which is pretty good and I am much comfortable with it. I compared 2 laptops and I found for the same price, the configuration of alienware is much better than Mac book Pro.So why I need to buy the Mac book pro for a higher price? Don't tell me because it is Apple, tell me some details! For those of you who are familiar with mac book pro and loved apple deeply, please convince me!

    I guess that really depends on what you would use it for, and how you use a computer.  Alienware is geared for gaming and intense graphics displays, but a MBP is designed for general to hardcore users, and in my opinion, for multimedia purposes.  One positive thing about Apple is that it works well with Apple hardware and software, and that it is user-friendly.  Sony is like this too, that it works well with with Sony products, but my experience with Sony is not as user-friendly.
    For me, if I were into Windows based gaming I would go with Alienware.  If I wanted and used Windows based software and wanted a quality and long-lasting laptop, I would get a Sony.  (There was a study on laptops in 2010, founded that Sony laptops outlasted the other brands (HP and Acer were at the bottom).)
    Apple is more well-rounded and functions smoother compare to PCs.  So, no pun intended, it's all apples and oranges.
    If you are deciding which OS, you should based your decision on your needs, wants and functionality, and maybe long-term budget.
    So for example, I'm not a computer gaming (that's what console gaming is for me).  I like to compose music with my guitar and keyboard, like editing home videos, I'm an newsletter editor for my non-profit and HOA, I do statistics, I surf the web and stream media, and I do photography as a hobby.  So for initial cost, ease of operations, quality, longevity, and total long-term cost, the MBP was my choice.  I had considered Dell, Sony and Alienware.  To me, Sony and Alienware was like buying a Cadillac, and Dell like a Buick.  So I decided on a Lincoln.  Apple best fit my lifestyle and long-term budgeting for computers.
    FYI...Why I suggest long-term budgeting?  Is because over the last decade, I've been through three desktops and four laptops.  The Sony laptop outlasted them all with seven years, with only one hardware problem (two if you count the end).  The worst ones are tied between HP and Compaq.  Over the years my friends with Macs averaged seven to eight years of usage, so I estimated, I could have spent about the same or less by about $2,000 by buying two Macs: depending on configuration and models.
    So there's my personal experience and opinion, of course.  I currently have a Linux (for testing), Windows (wife uses it for gaming), and MBP at home.

  • Why did my Mac book pro 2012 literally slow to a crawl overnight?

    Hello,
    Im new to Mac products so bear with me
    I'm running an OS X 10.9.1 13 Mac book pro with 4 GB of memory. I can usually play video games, and edit videos with it. And overheating has never been a problem.
    Today alll the applications are taking 30-40 seconds to open and even longer to click between tasks. Sometimes i see a beach balll, but generally the notebook just seems to not respond. The boot time seems to have increased too.
    Disk check - Hard drive scan showed no problems and I have over 30% Disk space left
    Disk repair permissions - It took about an hour and repaired some stuff. But still slow
    Activity monitor
    kernel_task 1.9% and activity monitor 0.6%

    I heard some people could interpret this. I'm currently using a library PC cause typing on my Mac would take eons......its that slow
    can anyone help?

    Please don't post "etrecheck" output in a reply to me. I have no use for it.
    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test will take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

    If Windows doesn’t install properly
    Verify that you’re using an original, full version of the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8, or Windows 8 Pro.
    Restart your Mac and hold down the Option key until one or more disk icons appear on your screen.

Select the Windows installation disk icon, then click the arrow beneath it. Quickly press any key on your keyboard to start the installer. Follow the onscreen instructions to repair or reinstall Windows.

  • My Mac Book Pro needs to re download LION. I formatted my Macintosh HD and tried downloading lion from disk utility. Half way through it gives me gray screen saying i need to restart my computer. I can never finish the download and install. Any other ways

    My mac book pro crashed during an update a week ago. Since then I have been forced to fomat my macintosh HD drive and attempt to reinstall lion. Halfway through my download of lion, a grey screen pops up telling me to restart my computer. I do such and then nothing ever happens again, I am just brought back to disk utility every time. Why?!?!?!

    You can go to the Apple online store and purcahse a copy of Mountain Lion.  This will give you a redemption code, which you can use to download Mountain Lion from the App Store.  Unfortuantely, I'm not aware of any other way to legally purchase it.  I have never seen Apple release Muontain Lion on DVD.
    In terms of Apple Service, they just need the serial number of the machine to check the purcahse date.  It is usually correct, to within a few weeks.  A quick Google search should give you the correct number to dial.
    I hope this helps.
