    4th Replacement 2016 MBP with Touch Bar loose parts inside and all possible MBP issues

    I have bought a configured MacBook Pro 15" 2016 with touch bar. Base model + 512GB SSD. It is my first Mac computer(s). I've only used an iPhone and a iPad before and such an experience with brand new 3000 USD laptop makes me want to puke. After 3 days of using it, It started to make some weird...

Sometimes it won't appear at all. Its starting to becoming really annoying especially when typing

    Shift key stuck, how to bypass Safe Boot?

    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. No hope of buying a new one due to poverty, so that isn't a solution right now. Is there still a keystroke to bypass this? I thought it...

    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...

    2016 Macbook Pro Issue - High Pitched Keyboard Clicking Sound

    Within a few hours of using my Late 2016 MacBook Pro 15” with Touch Bar, I noticed some of my keys made a very high pitched click on-key-up (when I lifted my finger from the pressed down key). The affected keys: Caps Lock, left Option, and very occasionally: Delete, ‘H’, and ‘C’. Caps lock is...

    US-International Keyboard changes?

    Recently (was it when I first downloaded Sierra, I dunno, but around then), I'm having trouble typing with my US-International keyboard layout, which I've always used. I think the only issue I've noticed so far are the single quotes and double quotes. The behaviour is now different. For e.g...

    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...

    Modifier Key Binding Resets on new TB-MBP

    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...

    2016 MBP keyboard layout

    I'm ordering a 13" tbMPB from Switzerland and this must be the only county in EU that doesn't have the International English keyboard option when placing an order online. It's either British or US. I've searched all over the internet, and I am unable to find a picture of MBP with British...

    electrical/coil whine noise coming from 2016 tBMBP?

    It is not noticeable during regular use, but if I place my ear close to the keyboard or speakers of my MacBook Pro in a quiet room, I can hear some sort of electrical current sounding noise. Does anyone with the 15 or 13 inch tbMBP notice this? Any older models have this sound? I know that this...

    One drop of water went into my MBA keyboard, should I worry?

    OKay, so this might sound really stupid, but I was watching a movie on my MacBook in the dark and I have a cold. So I bought one of those nose sprays to air out my nose.. Point is when in the dark I was putting back the spray on the table next to me, one very small drop (more like a bubble...

    Unannounced Keyboard Update

    So I'm now on my third Macbook 12" unit, and definitely loving them. However I've had repeated issues with sticky keys, in particular the space bar getting stuck and unreliable at the edges. I asked an Apple Genius for a full refund and they were reluctant. Instead he very strongly urged me to...

    Shift key feels spongy on Butterfly 2 keyboard

    As soon as I started using this new MacBook Pro I felt something is weird with the keyboard. The shift keys do not feel as clicky as the rest of the keys. They feel a bit spongy as if something sticky is underneath them, and the click also sounds different. Do any of you have this problem? I...

    Keyboard and Mouse not working

    I was using my laptop last night, and this morning when I opened it, my keyboard and mouse were completely frozen. I wasn't sure what was wrong, so I restarted it and now the computer won't boot up. When I restart it, it goes to these black screens (seen below) and nothing works. It looks like a...

    Apple wired keyboard ever on refurb store?

    in the 'Mac accessories' section of the Apple refurb store (UK) do Apple ever sell anything but time capsules and AirPort Extreme boxes? Ie a Apple full sized keyboard (I'm tight and want to pay less than £40 for one to replace my 'becoming a bit soft' 5 year old keyboard)

    MacBook Pro 2016 Keyboard Failure

    My 2016 15’’ MacBook Pro arrived yesterday (as one of the first). 63 of the 64 keys work fine. But the i-key most of the time types the letter twice. I suggest you test out your keyboard thoroughly. With auto-correct it can be easy to think it works. However, my password contains the letter i...

    Silicone cover for new MBP keyboard

    Is the rubber keyboard cover required anymore? e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Kuzy-Keyboard-Silicone-MacBook-Display/dp/B005QT6F0E/ The way I see it, as the chiclet keyboard had the keys floating up from the base, the cover could be molded to fit the keys. Now, it seems as if the keys sit almost...
