    Touch Bar coming to iMacs?

    It's interesting that communication with the Touch Bar is via USB. It seems to me that that would allow for an external keyboard to have a Touch Bar. (A wired one, anyway. Maybe even wireless.) I wonder if something like this is coming to iMacs in the future. Might also be nice for MacMini and...

    Removing butterfly clip from rMB

    Does anyone know how to remove the butterfly mechanism clip from the rMB keyboard? My ESC key cap popped off and broke a clip on the mechanism and so I need to replace it. If I go to the Apple Store would they replace it for free?

    Keyboard/Trackpad locking?

    So just about 10 minutes ago from this thread, my keyboard and trackpad decided to lock up on me. I don't know how it happened, I was just browsing the internet, but it happened. Everything else was working, I used a wired mouse to move around, with minimal success as the keyboard is the main...

    Keyboard mapping off when connecting to Microsoft server

    Hi: I have a user on a Macbook Air OSX 10.11.6 connecting to Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop server. The keyboard mapping is off, e.g. he cannot use his shift key (characters are always lower case even upon pressing shift key first). We've tried using Parallels and Microsoft's RD Client...

    Macbook 12, keyboard replacement

    Greetings, As many of you know, keyboards on rMB12 get stuck or stop working at all. My rMB12 is on Apple Care, so I can have my replacement for free. That's not an issue. But there are some of you who had their keyboards already replaced, so I have a simple question for you guys. Does Apple...

    iOS 10.0.2 and RTL bug

    Hi, After upgrading to the new iOS version on my iPhone 6, whenever I want to start typing in an RTL language (Hebrew) in some app (Messages, WhatsApp, etc.), the blinking cursor is on the left instead of right and even when typing, the text is aligned to left and not to the right... Do you...

    Fn + Delete hotkey changed?

    So you know this "secret" and almost not used shortcut to "delete" instead of backspace while on a text editor? The Fn+Delete keys would delete words from left to right instead of the other way around with the single delete key. For me it was really useful as "Delete" is missing on my keyboard...

    How can I reliably type the letters ő and ű in OS X?

    I often switch between English and Hungarian while typing, and it would be inconvenient to swap keyboard layouts mid-sentence as many the keys are in different places and I can't memorize them all. I realize that OS X has the "press-and-hold" special character feature, but this feature doesn't...

    External Keyboard & Trackpad/Mouse Needed—6 Potential Setups, What's the Best?

    I'm a long-time MBP 15" user who wants to work less with the notebook itself but more with an external keyboard and screen. One thing I realize is that I am way slower with the combination external keyboard and a dirt-cheap mouse. Before I could move both hands from my internal keyboard to the...

    Shortcuts for changing volume and screen brightness.

    So a while back, something happened to my Macbook and I can no longer change volume or screen brightness with F1, F2 or F10-F12. As I was wiping my keyboard just now, I saw the volume change icon show up, so there must be some key combo that changes the volume without the keys listed. Thanks!

    iPad Pro Keyboard for 12.9" iPad pro?

    I only see 2 keyboards that use the smart connector. Apples's ridiculously stupid overpriced smart keyboard (I don't know why anyone would buy this) and Logitechs slightly overpriced smart keyboard. Which is way better than apple's stupid keyboard. Does anyone know of any other ones coming out...
