T400 lid closed has some play

Hi everyone,
I just received my T400 laptop. I noticed that when the lid is closed it has some play with the base on the front side and on the left side. (around 2mm) Is this normal with every T400 or should i return it back?
Please give some suggestion about this.

Hi arslan,
Everyone has a different mindset. To me this might not have been a big of a deal but I would definitely have called them to report the problem to see what resolution they could suggest.
Hope it helps.

PB battery drained overnight while lid closed....any thoughts?

This was the first time I've experienced any problems with my PB. Last night I left the office and closed my lid as always. My PB was unplugged from land power. I watched, as I always do, the Apple light go off and my standby light come on, then I went home.
This morning I came in, opened it, logged in and immediately got a notice that the battery was low. I attached the power cord and noticed I had about 2% battery life left. Now, the only thing I can think of, since all known applications were closed, was that I connected to my network via CAT5 and not wifi. I'm wondering if something was going on over the ethernet??? I have no idea why my battery would have been drained overnite with the lid closed. I searched the logs and nothing strange pops up.
Any thoughts?

In general there is always a trickle drain happening even with the lid closed. Some applications may leave the Powerbook on, or wake it from sleep on a timed schedule. Turn off the lights to see if the Apple logo is lit to verify it did indeed shut off the screen. There have been known applications to be open that force the machine to keep the screen on even when the lid is closed.
The battery is technically known to last 5 hours on limited charge, that closed as you surmised is able to last longer. But how much longer varies depending on just how full the battery was before you unplugged it. The reading on the menubar of it being full is not necessarily accurate.
I would not leave it on Energy Saver overnight all the time. At least once a month leave it on screen saver instead. Unattended someone could also steal the machine in the middle of the night. I would not leave it unattended. Especially in an office environment it shouldn't be unattended unless under lock and key.

Playing itunes with lid closed

can someone please tell me how to get itunes to continue to play when I close the lid on my computer Thank you DJ

Here's a hack
-> http://semaja2.net/insomniaxinfo
Some have had it work on MacBook.
Again, I wouldn't recommend it as running the computer with the lid closed will raise the temp enough to damage the screen.

What does doa cover. i mean i brought a macbook 6 days back and it uses to restart when its powerd off nd lid closed it has kinda defective power key also. can it be treated as doa

DOA means different things to different manufacturers. For some DOA means it fails to work out of the box and will be replaced but if it worked out of the box and failed the next day it will be repaired. For other companies there is a liberal return policy - for Apple if you buy direct from Apple (online or an Apple store) you have 14 days to return. That means you can return a defective computer and then turn around and buy a new one.
(I had a store manager try to get me to accept a repair on a computer with a bad keyboard out of the box. I refused and insisted on a full refund if she wasn't willing to replaced it.)

TS5183 My Iphone has a problem with the microphone it doesn't seem to work! so there for i can't use Siri anymore..:-( this has been playing up for some time now.

My Iphone has a problem with the microphone it doesn't seem to work! so there for i can't use Siri anymore.. this has been playing up for some time now. But as my wife & I had a baby 7 Months ago I have not found the time to pop in to the apple store until today (8/12/13) and they told me that they couldn't help as it's out of it's warranty by 57 days
Can antone help me? is there something i can do, apart from buying a new iphone!

Have you got Siri turned on in settings/general/restrictions?

Play CD music with lid closed

Is it possible to play CD with lid closed without a external display plugged in? Assuming the MBP is connected to AC outlet, and Bluetooth mouse is present.

No. You need an external display, mouse, and keyboard connected.
And why would you wanna do that? Are you running a line out? If not and you are playing the sound out through the MBP speakers, the lid would make minimize the output of the speakers and it would sound like garbage.

Can iTunes play with lid closed?

I am a newbie, so please excuse me if this sounds like a dumb question. I just moved from Windows world (after using it for 25 years) to MacBook Pro about 4 months ago.
I am using AiportExpress to stream music from iTunes to 3 different audio system throught my home. I would like play iTunes to play the music even when my MacBook lid is closed. I can't seem to get this work. Seems like such a basic function. Is it possible to play iTunes with lid closed? What am I missing?

{quote:title=Chris CA wrote:}If Apple were to allow it with a setting and the user burned up the computer, then it would have to be covered under warranty, which it isn't.{quote}
Don't mean to argue.. but I still believe that it should be a user enabled/disabled function. I've used it on all my PCs for several years (when playing CD on Windows Media Player) and I am yet to BURN a single device
If I have to keep the MacBook open to keep running iTunes, wouldn't I run the same risk of BURNING (like you said)?
OK.. this is what I need to do...
I have all my music in iTunes. I have setup 3 AirportExpress (AirTunes) hooked up to receivers on 3 levels on my home. I'd like to play the music from iTunes (wirelessly streaming throughout the house via AirTunes) without having to keep the MacBook open. How do I do it?
I don't want to see any third party apps (e.g. Insomnia) to prevent my computer from going to sleep. I just want to accomplish what I described above. Can this be done or not?
Another question is if the iTunes is running on one of my Windows-based laptops, and I close the lid on that, iTunes (on PC) should continue to run. Right?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

No. There are magnets in the iPad as well. Try the right side of the screen, around the midle point.

Any way I can play music on 15" rMBP with lid closed?

Hi everyone,
I'm enquiring if I can play music on my 15" retina Macbook Pro while it is asleep. I have an iPhone 5 I can listen to music on, but I've recently found that the sound is so much better if I plug my headphones into my Mac as it gives a fuller richer sound.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have to use an app which disables sleep when you close the lid. For this, use InsomniaX > http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/22211/insomniax After disabling sleep with lid closed, you should be able to listen to music. Be careful doing this because your computer may get overheated if you keep the Mac with lid closed and turned on for a very long time

you have posted a VBox component code so it will be the part of your parent Application are you injecting data into this component from the main application ? and your
httpService requires catalog.xml so you need to attach that file so i can run on my side successfully . instead of doing this you can tell the problem you are having so i can guide you on that

HT3775 For some reason my QuickTime player has stopped playing all my .avi movies, I can't seem to upgrade and it doesn't offer any solutions except that it may need additional software but not what or where to obtain it from? Help most of my movie are in

For some reason my QuickTime player has stopped playing all my .avi movies, I can't seem to upgrade and it doesn't offer any solutions except that it may need additional software but not what or where to obtain it from? Help most of my movie are in .avi!!

Google 'Perian' and 'Flip4Mac' — these are the extensions that will make QT play other file formats.
However, a simpler solution is just to abandon QT in favour of the free, open-source player VLC, which plays just about everything natively without further downloads.
Download the free VLC Player from here:

Plays just about everything, including avi & mpg, without add ons.

Mac book pro is very very slow/it hangs for even the smallest tasks/even with the lid closed it is still running if it is not completely turned off. Dose any one know what may be wrong ? and how to fix it?

More details about the problem : My computer is a Mid 2012 Mac Book pro 2.9GHz i7 processor with 8GB RAM updated to OS X v10.8.5
- I ran a compleet scan of my computer for any threats ( I used virus barrier express ) and there was nothing identified
- When I oppened the Activiti Monitor there are about 20-30 processes which I do not undersatand they are run under the user "root" 2 in perticular ( Kernel_task & fseventsd ) they both take up a lot of threads and kernel_task is constantly using 1.2 GB of "real memory" which is at least 20 times any other process that is running espesially the ones that run under the user "Apple" I do not know if this is causing the problems on my mac but i tryed to forces close it and it dose not even let me click the button, the others close but reopean immideatly. I will attach a screen shot of what i have mentioned here.
- The problems I am facing are mainly performance :- To state a few examples, my mac dose not seam to be able to handile even the smallest tasks like switching tabs on safari, typing any thing, playing a movie withought stopping inbetween, etc.. ( let me elaborate on why I said its not able to handil these tasks, it is because when I am trying to do any one of the afformentioned tasks inbetween the cursor becomes a rainbow collered spinning disk and I am unable to do anything for about 10 seckonds after which it starts to work again for some time before it happens again. )
- Another concern of mine is that my mac seems to be on even with the lid closed if I do not shut it down compleetly, if i just close the lid after some time the computer starts warming up, and the fan starts running. the battery is drained at the same rate or slightly less rate than it would have if i was using it normally with the lid opean. ( altough this is happning the screen dose not turn on untill the lid is opean again )
- I have only 300+ GB full out of my 750GB so i believe these are not issues caused by my mac's memory being full ( BUT THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS WAS HAPPNING WAS WHEN MY MEMORY WAS ABOUT 720GB FULL WHEN THESE ISSUES FIRST AROSE I IMMEADITLY DELEATED 400+GB OF MY USELESS FILES THAT I HAD BEEN HORDING ALL OF WHICH WERE MOVIES ) that about covers it all PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANY ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO.
Ps: I apoligize if I have given too many unrelevant details, not enough usefull information and or if i was just all over the place with my explanations but I am really frustrated and was hoping not to miss anyting. Please let me know if any information at all is required and ill do my best to provide it.
Thank You

Front Row - Lid Closed - Blank Videos (but with audio)

I hooked my computer up to my TV last night to watch some videos through front row (stupid quicktime and the pro lockout on full screen - talk about penny pinching from Apple!). Front row worked fine if I set it up so that the TV mirrored my laptop display. However, if I tried to run the laptop in lid closed mode with the TV as my main/only monitor everything would work except for the videos. They would be black while retaining the audio. For example, the little preview movies shown in the selection menu were black as was the movie when you played it.
Is this a known bug? Is there a fix? (Obviously I can run it more or less similarly with mirroring and my main screen dimmed as I did.)

i'm having the same issue. The video i tried was purchased from the iTunes music store. i see no preview of the video and no video is played on screen however audio is present. the same problem also occurs when trying to watch a movie trailer via movie trailer front row interface. All Front Row graphics are seen, only video is a problem. I can open and play back the video without problems in Quicktime Pro. (fullscreen)
The video output is 1280x720 sent to a samsung tv using a built in profile with overscan disabled.

Computer does not put itself to sleep when used in lid-closed mode

Hi. I'm having a small problem when using my macbook pro with the LED display, lid closed and with external keyboard and mouse. If I leave the computer unattended, the display goes to sleep at the time specified in system settings under energy saver. The computer, however, does not go to sleep - the white power indicator remains solid and noises for new email etc can still be heard.
I should probably just try to remember to put it to sleep manually but I keep forgetting. Does anybody know what settings I need to adjust?

I tried cycling the old battery many times, and the computer would still shut down unexpectedly instead of going to sleep when it ran out of power. I got a free replacement from the supplier [http://myworld.ebay.com/cbkusaelectronics>, but I have cycled this new battery twice now, and it still does not go to sleep when it runs out of power. The capacity of the battery is fine (4.9 Ah), and the timing calibration seems fine as well. I have two older batteries from NewerTech and they allow sleep every time, so I think my computer is fine. Can anyone enlighten me about the cause of this problem? Does my battery lack some 'sleep battery' cell in it for use after the other 4 cells discharge? Or does my battery lack a chip that communicates with the computer? Is there any hope of getting this battery to support sleep when discharged?
Has anyone else seen this problem consistently in a brand of battery? Does anyone have a recommendation for a cheaper battery that does not exhibit this problem? I have been happy with NewerTech, but they cost over $130.
(I only paid $44 plus $10 shipping, so I probably got what I paid for. It is maybe still worth it to have a high capacity battery for such a low cost, but I can't rely upon it in those last few minutes or I may lose work.)

Wakes from sleep while lid closed

I got my MBP three weeks ago and I have noticed that when I have the lid closed and it is sleeping and I set it down it begins to make noise and when I open the lid I see that has already come out of sleep mode. I know that the MBP's have a motion sensor that shuts off the hard drives when it senses that the computer is falling or something. When I'm putting it down and it does this, it is always on a hard surface but it's not like I'm dropping the computer down, I'm gently placing it. Any thoughts?

That's cool.. It's good to see they fixed it on the latest revision. The college ordered these right before apple's last upgrade to the MBP. These are the 2.33 GHZ Core 2 Duo machines. The tech did mention that I could take these to the nearest Apple store.. a 2 hour drive, and one of the people at the store could evaluate them and then decide if they should be fixed. No guarantee they would.. and according to him and my description.. "the behaviour is expected.."
While it would be worth popping them into a fedex shipper to know they'd get fixed.. I guess I have to decide if it's worth a two hour drive to maybe get it fixed. The sleep sensor is such a simple and small part.. I'm reasonably confident I can fix it. I'll weigh my options in the next couple of days. Now that I know what's causing it.. I'm not as worried about it as I was. I had envisioned bare wires shorting out in the lid or something.
I will contrast Apple's support with Dell's though. I really despise Dell.. but, when the college has a problem with a machine, they send a part out no questions asked. The college has it's own tech support team and Dell will either send a tech immediately, or send the part to one of our team members. I'd really like to see the college choose more apple products. But, their response to our repair request has hurt that effort. Can you see us with a lab full of macs driving them two hours to an Apple store because of some hardware problem? We don't pay any extra for the Dell support, it's part of the product warranty. Apple could learn a thing or two...
I may stew on this a few days and call tech support again..
