Which macbook do you have? It's not on every model.

[xxsabobo88xx]

What do you mean by which one will you give me an example


BTW

I am not very good at this comuter stuff:D:D

[Sky Blue]

What model is it? One of the new late 2008 macbooks? The old white plastic one?

[xxsabobo88xx]

IDK i got in for my bat mitzvah in April 08

[Sky Blue]

Well then no one can help you then, sorry.

If it's a MacBook from April and not a MacBook Pro, then it has no backlit keyboard

[xxsabobo88xx]

But in the "Finder Help" it says to check this box.... but the box is not there

[Sky Blue]

Look, if the writing on the screen bezel above the keyboard says MacBook and not MacBook Pro, and you got in in April, then the keyboard is not backlit.

Because physically, the hardware is not available on your computer. It is not possible.

Its the same reason you cannot make a cup of coffee with your MacBook, because it doesn't have a coffee maker. Make sense?

You don't have a box to check as your computer doesn't support backlighting, only the late 2008 $1599 MacBook and the MacBook Pros do unfortunately.

Before October, 2008, all MacBooks did not come with backlit keyboards.
MacBook Pro's have had them for a while (so if it is a MacBook pro that you got in April 2008 new, then it should have it)
If it's an aluminum MacBook made in October 2008 or later, it has a backlit keyboard.

Even though the help file says you have it, you may not. I have keys assigned to changing the backlight setting (F5 and F6).

I don't think your computer supports it.
