This happened when I got them home, so yes I believe it...

    Third-party microphone access (Gboard)

    I've been using the latest version of Gboard (Google keyboard) and it's great. I use it without full access for obvious reasons and it works just fine. Same with Swype btw. Something that Gboard stands out is the dictation option. Everything is transmitted to google servers when you're...

    Loving my new Mac but trying to get out of MS keyboard habits. Is there an equivalent to the 'End' key on an MS keyboard, on the Mac extended keyboard? (The one with a number pad) In it's place is a page down or a diagonal arrow key and as such my typing is taking more time than usual as I...

    Keyboard response issues on new touchbar MBP

    I recently got the new touch bar 13" MacBook Pro, and within a couple of weeks I started noticing that the "C" key was having response issues. Sometimes it would work fine, but most of the time, hitting this key wouldn't register unless I tapped it much more forcefully than other keys. I...

    late 2009 macbook running El Capitan. Shift key is stuck, so it keeps booting in safe mode. I don't have an external keyboard handy and need into my computer.

    Keyboard with Number Pad

    Just bought a new MacBook Pro with USB-C. When I am at home, I'd like to use a keyboard with a number pad. Anyone know of one that would work? My first choice is Bluetooth, so I don't have to tie up a USB-C port. But I don't see any that would work. Would the standard Apple USB keyboard...

    Remap 'Win' & 'Alt' keys on bluetooth keyboard in iOS

    Hi all, I know on OS X you can remap the Win and Alt keys so Alt acts as Command and vice versa. However, I see no such option on iOS and I keep pressing the wrong modifier keys every time! I'm quite impressed with the hardware keyboard support on the iPad [and wish it could do mouse as well...

    US-International Keyboard changes?

    Trackpad and Keyboard on 15" 2016 MacBook Pro

    I just picked up my 2016 15" MacBook Pro from the Apple Store. Here are a couple of things that are bugging my OCD/paranoia with new Apple computers: - Not all of the keys on the keyboard have the same level of "clickyness". Some give a higher pitched and more snappy click. Some feel almost...

    There seems to be a strange keyboard bug on my new 15" Touch Bar MacBook Pro. In the "Modifier Keys" panel within System Preferences > Keyboard (image attached), I have my Caps Lock key set to "No Action" (i.e. I disable my caps lock key). But on my new MBP, this setting resets randomly after a...
