Option Key On Mac Air

MacBook:: Option Key Seems To Be Stuck, But It Is Not Physically Pressed? When typing, all that is coming out are the symbols that appear when pressing Option, as opposed to the letter pressed. It acts as if the option key is pressed down, but neither option key seems to be stuck. Info: MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6) View 2 Replies. One other source of confusion is the fact that some Mac keyboards label the Alt key Option while others call the Option key Alt (depending on your view point). This means that some guides you will.

MacBook Pro :: Why Is The Right Side Of Trackpad Physically Getting Stuck

Ok so I bought my MBP a couple of days ago. I've always used the center of my trackpad to do most of my clicking.
Today I went to go click the bottom right corner and it gets stuck, and not on the screen I mean literally stuck.
I have to click on the opposite side and then I hear a second 'click' is anyone elses doing that or is a Manufacurer's error?I have taken good care of it! Now I can't understand why its doing that.

OS X :: Broken Option Keys And Stuck In Boot Camp?

Recently I was unfortunate enough to witness the spilling of gin and tonic on my precious macbook pro. Luckily, having had spillage issues before, I reduced the damage and now have merely a few keys not working (including both option keys) and some dodgey letters.
After turning off my mac it restarted automatically in boot camp mode and with both option keys broken I can't get back into OS :/ What's more, my boot camp has no sound and the internet doesn't work so it's pretty much turned into an iphone charger.
I was wondering if anybody knew what I could do to rescue my files and what I should do about the broken key situation?

MacBook :: Power Button Always Pressed?

my power button is constantly pressed. While I was using my computer, the screen got black automatically after a few seconds.After I pressed ESC in order to get back to my desktop, after another few seconds, the window asking if I want to shut down / log out / reboot appeared..When I'm trying to boot my Macbook, after a few seconds, it automatically shut down, without warning, as if I was pressing power button for a few seconds to force the shutdown.I can boot if I remain a keyboard's touch pressed during all the booting process, like Maj, or Alt, but as you could imagine, it's not really easy to use a computer with a keyboard's touch constantly pressed..
By the way, I won't go to the Genius bar for a few reasons, first, this Mac is 5 years old, so I'd prefer buy a new laptop instead of paying a few hundred bucks in order to change pieces of this old Macbook, secondly, I don't have an Apple Store near my location.

MacBook Pro :: Clicking Noise Heard When Right Corner Pressed

Basically, I have noticed that sometimes if I put pressure (not really hard or anything just like if I lean my wrist on it when typing) on the bottom right corner of the macbook, it makes a clicking sound when I press it. It sounds to me like something is bending when I press down there. It doesn't always click consistently, and sometimes I have to press in different places to get it to click.
I only noticed it when I applied a gelaskin to the top and was rubbing it to get the bubbles out and noticed when I rubbed over that corner it would make a clicking sound. Its really weird and I don't want my macbook to die as I'm already on my second one this year! I have backed up the hard drive as I have been told that the hard drive is in that corner but I have no idea if thats the problem or not. Office 2015 mac update. It seems to be that something is loose but I don't know what or how!!

MacBook :: Cursor Keeps Acting As If Mouse Or Keypad Being Pressed

MacBook Air :: Way To Get Power Button To Only Shut Off After Being Pressed For 3 Seconds Or More?

We're not used to having the computer's power button on the keyboard. Occasionally, when trying to hit Delete, one of us turns off the computer power.

This would prevent those accidental shutdowns.
