No apologies necessary.

So the flag shows only if you have more than 1 keyboard in your Input Menu, and that is still the case?

Dan,

Thank you, but I need no apology. You acknowledge the incorrect comment and we move on. You are a great resource for knowledge, and keep us informed of changes.

We all sometimes we forget that what we sit before every day is not a virgin, unaltered system, the same as everyone else. That is why it is important to include info on hardware and software, but difficult to include ann the modifications we have made, some decades ago.

Brent, I did attach the Input menu icon from Catalina. It didn't make

In your smaller screen capture, the US flag is the Input menu from an
older OS X. The flag is for the selected or language keyboard. For
example, if you were running a French OS X it would be a French
Tricolor. You can have multiple language keyboards and just pick them
to switch between them.

In your larger Input menu icon screen cap, I think that is the icon
from the OS X Mojave or High Sierra. It has the little star in it.

Jim R, first Apple does not charge for diagnosis work. Second, they will quote you a flat rate charge for out of warranty work, if they currently stock the part. I think for my early 2008 MBP about 3 years out of warranty, it was somewhere between $350 to $600 flat rate. It is up to you before you release the device to them to determine if the needed part and device are worth it to you for that rate. If they discover another issue, I believe they will also cover that for the one charge at the same time.

No need to exaggerate.

I mentioned my reservations contacting Apple¡¯s telephone support regarding the keyboard on my 2016 Touch Bar MacBook Pro because my experience after bringing my laptop to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Retail Store (when local wasn¡¯t 167 miles away was exactly what I described.

My stepson worked at an auto parts store while he was in architectural graduate school. The Windows keyboards there were filthy, and periodically individual keys would stop working. They would disconnect the keyboards from power, make sure they were grounded, then very carefully mask off problematic regions of the keyboard and scrub them with a water miscible but non electrolytic solvent. In most cases that resuscitated the keyboards.

I spilled a small amount of soft drink on the o,p,[,] area of my laptop¡¯s keyboard more than 2 years ago, and quite quickly those keys began to malfuntion. My stepson had me procure a bottle of the solvent, and in 20-30 minutes my keyboard worked well again.

In the time since then, the comma and period keys have become problematic twice. After Apple announced the four year coverage for the butterfly keyboard program, I took my laptop to the Apple Retail store, admitted there had been a liquid spill, but pointed out that the misbehaving keys now were nowhere near where the liquid spill had caused issues previously. The Genius was able to make the period key work somewhat better, but unable to eliminate its intermittency altogether. When I asked about the newly announced program, he stated that he didn¡¯t think my keyboard would qualify, but that I could arrange for shipping to an Apple corporate repair center (interestingly, he told me it might end up at an Apple-authorized 3rd party center. He warned me that even if there was no evidence of liquid intrusion at the location of the now recalcitrant keys, that evidence from the keys at the upper right almost certainly would disqualify it for coverage, in whch case I¡¯d be charged a diagnostic fee. I¡¯d also be offered the chance to pay a replacement part fee of $1500 for the entire top of the case (including the Touch Bar, Touch ID key, keyboard, speakers, and whatever else is attached to the underside of the top case.

I¡¯ll admit I did not verify that by calling Apple corporate support, so perhaps I was exaggerating, but that¡¯s what a Genius at my local Apple Retail Store told me without equivocation. I contended that I was complaining about an issue known to Apple, an issue so common and problematic that Apple was extending the duration during which they would make that extensive replacement repair to four years, and I was contending that it seemed unlikely that my current issue seemed to me and the tech at the retail store unrelated to the liquid spill. That policy could be rephrased as ¡°if your computer needs component A1 replaced because of a manufacturing defect, but in order to do that we must replace the entire A assembly, and your computer has a user problem with component A3 the warranty repair is unavailable to you.

Based on your assertion, I will call Apple Corporate repair and see what they tell me.

Re: How to restore from Time Machine?

 

Howdy.

First some information. I'm adding extra info because I sense you may
be new to the Macintosh? If I'm wrong, forgive me.

There can be at least 2 Application folders and more. In the same way
there are at least 3 Library folders. This is due to the multi-user
nature of Unix and the secure nature of a user account.

Are you sure the Applications folder in your Time Machine is the main
one and not the often unused Applications folder found in your Home
User Account?

Time Machine has two main parts.

1. Time Machine panel in System Preferences. This is to configure
Time Machine.

2. Time Machine.app found in your Applications folder. This is used
to restore things. It's like a Wayback machine. The great trick to
using Time Machine.app to restore is the FIRST, if you can, select the
drive or folder with the item to be restored. Then launch Time
Machine.app and it should go right to that backed up item. But without
a TM app you can't do this.

If Time Machine.app is missing along with the entire Applications
folder you are out of luck. It is possible to drag items from a TM
backup to the original location. With the entire Applications
folder???? Lots of possible issues.

I suggest booting from a USB bootable/installer flash drive and try to
restore the Applications folder.
Tip: When each major macOS X upgrade comes out I buy an 8 GB (16 for
Catalina) Flash Drive and use Terminal to turn it into a macOS X
bootable flash drive and system installer. When you have an emergency,
as you do, you can boot the Mac from the flash drive and use the
various utilities, installers, etc.

If I had deleted my Applications folder, I'd wipe the boot drive and do
a clean system install using the Recovery partition. If the Time
Machine backup is on an external drive as it hopefully is, you could
then use the newly installed Time Machine.app to restore some things.
