How to Fix a MacBook Spacebar (9 Steps)
Take the 'C', 'M' and 'Command' keys off the keyboard. Place your fingernail under the key and carefully lift it up until it unclips itself. Removing these keys will give you more space to remove the space bar and clean.
Press the lower half of the space bar firmly. The upper half will be higher than the other keys on the keyboard.
Press the upper side of the space bar firmly. The lower half will then be higher than the other keys. The change in height will cause the metal bars to unhook themselves from the space bar, and coincidentally unclip the two metal tabs. You may need to do this more than once to get each piece unclipped; you will hear a distinctive click.
Press the left side of the space bar until you hear a click. This means the left white clip is undone.
Press the right side of the space bar until you hear a click. Then press the center of the space bar until you hear a click. At this point, all the clips and hooks will be undone.
Pull the space bar away from the keyboard carefully.
Use a cotton swab or cleaning wipe to clean the now-exposed area of the keyboard. Wipe the space bar key clean as well, since sticky substances and crumbs can get stuck to it.
Place the space bar back on the keyboard in the correct location and click it in place.
Replace the 'C', 'M' and 'Command' keys.

How to Ping Your Network From an iPhone (8 Steps)
Make sure that your iPhone is connected to the network you want to scan via WiFi.
Go to the App Store on your iPhone and download the 'Network Ping Lite' application. It is a free app as of this writing.
Open the application and you will see four choices: Ping, Ping Subnet Traceroute, and Telnet. For this article we'll focus on the functions related to pinging.
Choose 'Ping' to ping a specific device.
Enter the DNS name (google.com) or IP address of the specific device you would like to ping and hit 'Start.' Your iPhone will now send out four ICMP packets and will tell you the outcome in the 'Output' section.
Note: You can do a continuous ping by flipping the 'Ping Forever' switch at the bottom.
Choose the 'Ping Subnet' icon to ping an entire subnet.
By default, the app should pick up the subnet that your iPhone is already on. You can change it to check a different subnet or range of IP addresses. (Note: It can only check Class C network subnets.) You can adjust the 'Ping Delay' which is the amount of time that the app will wait for a reply from the device before it declares it failed.
Hit 'Start' and the scan will begin. You'll see a table of all the possible Class C IP addresses for that subnet and the app will change the color of each as it scans to let you know which ones replied. Black = no reply. Green = Received reply. Yellow = last request failed. Red = stopped giving answer. The scan will take several minutes to complete, so be patient.
