MBP not closing flush..

Hello all,
My dad has taken delivery of a new MBP and I have noticed the lid does not close properly, it looks bowed and there is about 3mm (1/8") gap at the L/R corners, although the latch does close. Just wanted to know if this is a common thing among MBP's. It's slightly disappointing to have spent that amount of money for a piece of hardware that has not undergone QC out inspection and allowed to reach the shelves?? Anybody of the same opinion?
I raved about these MBP aswell to him and encouraged him to switch from his PC only to be presented with a sub standard product. Not a good start to the one that he had hoped. Apart from the hardware issue it functions ok and has connected to our wireless router with ease. Ive also noticed that the dock appears 'laggy' when running the mouse pointer across it, using my MB and Tiger the desktop experience is smooth. Again it feels like a rather inferior product and less brushed than tiger. Just my opinion but an honest one

MeanChad thanks for support!!!
I dont want to sound like ive turned into an Apple hater! I have other products in my house by Apple, Wireless N router, various iPods, my Black MB and my lass has a late 2006 MBP (the lid closes flush BTW) and im keen to get a new iMac. Apple has really changed my computer experience with hassle free computing. The MBP is a beautiful piece of work it just the little things in life that make it count.... and if your gonna do something...then do it right..not 1/2 finished!!! LOL! Anyway thanks for all the input to my topic, its why these forums are an essential tool in trouble shooting!!
Regards to all
Stu
P.S. No Kelly i dont lift the lid by the edges i release it by the pushing the latch button then lifting it from the centre. Remember this is a new MBP and ive noticed it after ive given it the once over!!

  • MBP not closing applications upon shutdown

    I was very happy with Lion, until I noticed that my applications are not closed on shutdown. When my computer restarts every application that I do not force quit prior to shutdown opens.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    This is not a bug, it is a feature !  From Apple's description of Lion:
    Now apps you close will reopen right where you left off, so you never have to start from scratch again. And when you install software updates, you no longer need to save your work, close your apps, and spend valuable time setting everything up again. With Resume, you can restart your Mac and return to what you were doing — with all your apps in the places where you left them.
    In the System Preferences --> General pane, there is an option you can unclick that says "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".  That may help.

  • My iPad doesn't seem to charge when plugged in to my MacBook Pro if the MBP goes to sleep. My iPhone continues to charge even if the MBP is closed. Is that normal?

    My iPad (3rd Gen) seems to stop charging if it is plugged into my MBP if either the iPad is closed or if the MBP goes to sleep. My iPhone charges whether the MBP is awake or asleep or even if the MBP is closed. There is a screen display that shows the iPhone is charging. The iPad only has the tiny icon at the top of the screen that show it is charging. However, the battery's % charged does not increase if the lid is closed when I am charging the iPad if the lid is closed on the iPad or if the iPad off after pressing the on off button. Is this normal?

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
    Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at

  • DriverManagerConnectionPoolConnection not closed

    I am using the Oc4J connection pooling mechanism(data-source.xml) . I do a connection.close() everytime I am done with the Connection . But still I keep getting this "DriverManagerConnectionPoolConnection not closed, check your code!" all the time
    Any clues whats going wrong

    I already do that. But it does not help.
    The problem probably comes from the fact that I use BLOBSo save some binary data :
    [simplified version of my code:]
    //Allocate a LOB using a stored proc (my prefered method, BLOB.createTemporary(...) throws a NullPointerException if used on a Pooled Connection)
    OracleCallableStatement cs = (OracleCallableStatement)connection.prepareCall(
    "{Call dbms_lob.createTemporary(?,false)}");
    cs.registerOutParameter(1, Types.BLOB);
    cs.executeUpdate();
    BLOB myBlob = cs.getBLOB(1);
    cs.close();
    // fill the BLOB with some binary data
    OutputStream outputStream = myBlob.getBinaryOutputStream();
    outputStream.write(byteArray);
    outputStream.flush();
    outputStream.close();
    // use it in an insert
    preStatement = (OraclePreparedStatement)connection.prepareStatement(
    INSERT_SQL);
    preStatement.setBLOB(1, myBlob);
    // execute the insert
    preStatement.executeUpdate();
    preStatement.close();
    // free the BLOB
    OracleCallableStatement cs2 = (OracleCallableStatement)connection.prepareCall(
    "{Call dbms_lob.freetemporary(?)}");
    cs2.setBLOB(1, myBlob);
    cs2.executeUpdate();
    cs2.close();
    /// all this being enclosed try/finally very similar to the one in your sample
    /// Also note that no Exception/Error are thrown (they are all caught and logged)
    If the problem comes from the way Oracle Pooled connections manage BLOBs it there any other way I could use to save some binary data ?
    Thanks for any answer,

  • Stax bug: writeEmptyElement not closed

    Hi,
    The following test case:
    xsw.writeStartDocument();
    xsw.writeEmptyElement("test");
    xsw.writeEndDocument();
    xsw.flush();
    xsw.close();
    Produces:
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?><test
    And the tag is not closed.
    Looks like the logic doesn't cope with one empty element in the document.

    When the resultset is empty, the query stays open, so that I get more and
    more open session (using Oracle 9i)
    I often use wrapper classes/methods around queries, which only return the
    Collection that the query returned.
    When using these wrapper classes it is of course mandatory to iterate the
    Collection to the end.
    Due to the bug(?) above that whole logic isn't working, at some point
    oracle refuses to give new connections and the application hangs.
    What can I do about it ?

  • SAP Production Order not closing

    Hi there,
    I am running the COHV with Complete parameter in the background, and it does pick up several TECO orders from the past, like say from 2009 which are not closed but it does not process them to CLSD status.
    I am seeing some entries in COHV, CO1P, COFC transactions - I picked a few randomly to check.
    The order qty is not always equal to the delivered qty - Again a random test
    The consumption qty on the components is not always equal to the required qty, which leaves reservation open - random check
    Is all the above causing my order not to close ? where do I see the error log, when I try to close the order. I wrote the above issues based on my random check.
    Thank you

    Hi SAP Process,
    When you run COHV to close the orders, you can see the log with the list of orders that have not been closed.
    To see in detail what has happened you will need to check order by order.
    Other option will we to evaluate each situation separatelly. You can check COGI, CO1P, see open reservations, check if you have TR or TO if you use WM, etc.. Once each situation is cleaned, you will be able to closed most of your production orders. It is quite common to create a custom report to make all these checks (COGI, TR/TOs, etc) and closed the orders.
    Kind Regards,
    Mariano

  • Cursors are not closed when using Ref Cursor Query in a report  ORA-01000

    Dear Experts
    Oracel database 11g,
    developer suite 10.1.2.0.2,
    application server 10.1.2.0.2,
    Windows xp platform
    For a long time, I'm hitting ORA-01000
    I have a 2 group report (master and detail) using Ref Cusor query, when this report is run, I found that it opens several cursors (should be only one cursor) for the detail query although it should not, I found that the number of these cursors is equal to the number of master records.
    Moreover, after the report is finished, these cursors are not closed, and they are increasing cumulatively each time I run the report, and finally the maximum number of open cursors is exceeded, and thus I get ORA-01000.
    I increased the open cursors parameter for the database to an unbeleivable value 30000, but of course it will be exceeded during the session because the cursors are increasing cumulatively.
    I Found that this problem is solved when using only one master Ref Cursor Query and create a breake group, the problem is solved also if we use SQL Query instead of Ref Query for the master and detail queries, but for some considerations, I should not use neither breake group nor SQL Query, I have to use REF Cursor queries.
    Is this an oracle bug , and how can I overcome ?
    Thanks

    Hello
    I bought my wife a new MacBook Pro, in setting it up for her, I took her Time Machine external drive to migrate onto the new machine but her old MBP not only was on 10.6, it was my old machine which I was still Administrator for.
    i plugged in the external drive to start the migration process after entering her name and username from the old machine which gave me the options on transferring the old data over.
    I also unchecked the Administrative end that had my info hoping that ONLY her data, files, etc., would be the ones sent over to her new machine which I wanted her to be the ONLY Administrator for. All went like clockwork until the restart.
    Normally the screen should show the username and only need the password but both entries were blank, as in ‘Other’ sign in option available only. I entered her name and password, nothing….used her username and password, nothing. Used my old Administrator name and password, NOTHING!
    I tried defaulting to factory settings from the Restore feature but it directs me to notify Apple. I tried in Terminal to change the password, nothing. I tried to boot from MY external drive and it doesn’t recognize it. I tried to even use my external drive which actually has the Mavericks upgrade, nothing!
    Basically I can only get the startup screen which isn’t accepting the username/password or the Restore feature which doesn’t offer any options helpful!
    Please, how do I start from scratch and start over here? Or simply change the Administrator name and password so I can proceed with everything thats already on there? I wish I could even boot from another drive but no luck on anything!

    First, on the old machine, make your wife's account an admin one. Log into it and delete yours. Then, update the TM backup. Finally, use Internet recovery mode, ⌘⌥R, erase the HD, and restore the OS. One first boot, follow the steps outlined in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

  • Hyperlinks not closing out in RH

    Here's another odd behavior:
    When I bring my FM book into RH, my hyperlinks are not closed
    out in the converted content in RH. In FM, the hyperlinks are
    correctly inserted using the gotolink and newlink Hypertext
    markers. Yet in RH, the rest of the sentence in which the hyperlink
    appears is also erroneously tagged as part of the hyperlink.
    Is this is a bug? Has anyone else seen this behavior and if
    so, how did you fix it?

    Hello Michael,
    This is not an issue, you'd always get the hyperlinks
    appearing corrcetly without any tagging in the Design view of RH.
    Just try to close and reopen the topic in the Design view or try to

  • AS Java sessions are not closed until they time out

    Hello Experts,
    we have a SAP PI system to integrate SAP R/3 with external applications and recently we are facing a problem with inactive sessions. There's a new application we are setting up that consumes a webservice published by this SAP PI system. The scenario is SOAP --> PI --> PROXY. What we have noticed is that when the application sends loads of requests sometimes the system fails. This is because we are reaching the maximum number of open sessions in AS Java (1000). Investigating a bit more we found out that the sessions are not "closed" once the communication between the application and SAP PI has finished. Those sessions are open until they are automatically timed-out by the system after 1800 sec.
    We have found the notes below in SAPNet:
    Note 1363751 - ICM: Java Web sessions are not terminated
    Note 1307940 - New HTTP session opened for every web service call
    However, none of them are applicable to our system because it is more updated:
    SAP PI 7.1 EHP1 SP002
    Kernel Patch Level: 87
    We have tried to close connections from the application that consumes the webservice but with no success. The sessions remain in the server until they are timed-out. Could you please tell us if this is the normal behavior of an AS Java system? Is this the way it should work? If so, can you tell us how to decrease this timeout so the inactive sessions are cleaned faster? We tried to find it but we didn't manage. Is there any way to close the session once the communication has finished?
    Thank you in advance.
    Roger Allué i Vall

    Hi Roger,
    You can do the following things to help solving your issue:
    1. Decrease session timeout default value of the web container: Use the NetWeaver Administrator
    Open Application Modules plugin within NWA
    Configuration Management -> Infrastructure -> Application Modules
    Set the desired timeout web module you are using, in minutes.
    The default value 0 in the NWA means that the value is not modified
    and the default value of 30 minutes timeout will be used.
    2. Increase the max. no. of Sessions in Configtool
    The max. number of Sessions can be set in Configtool in the Expert
    mode. There is no limitation for the parameter.
    Thanks,
    Anderson

    The pst file was repaired in scanpst.exe and again i have tried to put the pst file back in outlook 2007.It was hanging and suddenly i have uninstalled 2007 and started installing outlook 2013.
    2013 applications like word,excel,power point are opening and outlook 2013 are not able to open and showing pst files were not closed properly.
    Again i have un-installed and re-installed the outlook 2013.still we are not able to open the outlook.
    Need your support at the earliest to fix the issue.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    What's the .pst file used for? Archive? Or you set up a POP3 account and want to import the emails from the .pst file?
    Another question, you mentioned you installed Outlook 2013 and it didn't open either. Was this from the beginning right after you installed Outlook 2013, or after you did something such as create a new Profile, set up a new account and tried to import the
    .pst file?
    Kindly answer my questions so I can understand the situation better.
    I've seen some of this issue caused by the anti-malware software, check your anti-malware software to see if it's trying to interfere with Outlook - things like real time email checking can sometimes cause these kinds of problems. To troubleshoot, we can
    simply disable the anti-malware software temporarily to see the result.
