The lower left corner of my macbook pro was little bulky, only about 1 mm (near the screw), you will be inflating the battery?

I'm sorry, I'm somewhat paranoid and there is no place nearby where I can take of the doubt

Trackpad works properly?
Double click works?
Check Battery information.
Click  in the menu bar.

  • Weird "recoiling spring" sound coming from lower left corner of my macbook

    My macbook pro 15" (2.16Ghz, 2Gb RAM, 100Gb 7200 RPM drive) has been emitting a weird spring-like sound since it was new. It doesn't do it all the time, and frequency seems to vary from once or twice every 15 minutes up to 2 or 3 times in one minute. It's been getting more frequent lately. It's not the famous "whine" at all. It sounds like a recoiling loose spring, and seems to be mechanical in nature. I have recorded it and put up the file as m4a in my website, here:
    http://overcaffeinated.net/images/weirdsound.m4a
    (it's about 5 seconds long, and the background noise that can be heard is probably me typing quietly, but the sound is very clear in second 4)
    Activity in the machine seems to increase the frequency of the sound, but it also emits it when idle from time to time.
    The sound seems to come from the lower left corner of the laptop, under the keyboard. From what I've found out, it seems the hard drive is located there, but I've never heard a drive emit this kind of sound. The performance of the machine seems completely unaffected by it, but it's starting to drive me crazy. Is this caused by software? Does anyone recognize this as a failing hard drive? Any clues are highly appreciated.

    Well, after re-searching the forums for "marble" instead of "spring" (this does seem like a better description of the sound), I found a few threads that reference this problem:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2226760&#2226760
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2907174&#2907174

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2859490&#2859490
    General consensus seems to be that the seagate drive is overzealous in parking the drive head, thus producing the "clunk". I'm running declunker, and it seems to keep the sound from happening (still have to test tonight, in a quiet room). I prefer the wear and tear from writing a temp file every 5 seconds to what parking and restarting the drive head so often might do.
    Anyway, I'm marking this as "answered". Thanks a lot!

  • Firefox won't load pages and says "Stopped" in the lower left corner of the screen.

    From last night "Latest FF and XP Pro. 2.4 Ghz Celeron, 1 gig RAM. FF will work for a while, then it will stop loading pages and say "Stopped" in the lower left corner of screen. Sometimes I can refresh and the page will load, but 95 out of 100 times I can keep refreshing and it will say "Stopped". Or, the page will partially load and then quit and say "Stopped". I have disabled IPv6 and DNS Prefetching and it is still doing it. IE is doing about the same thing. VERY frustrated. My last PC started doing this and I finally upgraded to a newer one and it was fine for a couple months, but started doing the same recently. Arghhh ... Thanks!"
    Thanks to you who replied last night/this morning. I hit the "solved" button apparently but this from last night-
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/702910#threadId703008
    is not solved. I tried FF 3.5.9 and still have the same problem.
    Thanks again,
    Dave

    You, me and many others (based on threads throughout the net) have this same problem. I've had some peeps at Mozilla take a look, they couldn't find a problem or a solution.
    Here's what I found does work - The problem popped up on me when I upgraded to Firefox 3.63. Uninstall FF 3.63, and install 3.59. You can still download it until end of June or July I think.
    My problems went away with 3.59. Seems to only affect Window users as Mac Firefox 3.63 works fine.
    Also found some threads pointing to ZoneAlarm Firewall, timeout handlers and some upload tools. I don't have ZoneAlarm so I don't think that was the cause, just another victim.
    I wish Mozilla would pull the plug on 3.63, re-package 3.59 as 3.64 and go back to the drawing board until they find out whats wrong.

  • I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy.

    I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy. I was not able to restart, I was not able to switch users, I was not able to shut down. I decided to manually shut down my Mac.  when it booted back up I was looking at the disk utility screen. When I clicked on repair or race it indicated that my hard drive had already been arranged. I was looking at completely formatted drive and I was having to either restore from Time Machine or reinstall lion. I had a back up but why did this happen?

    A possible workaround could be to have the horizontal scroll bar visible all the time.
    <pre><nowiki>body { overflow-x: scroll !important; }</nowiki></pre>

  • In the iDVD window, there is a box in the lower left corner.  When I scroll over it, I get the message to hide or show the intro movie.  Checking or unchecking the box seems to do nothing.  Can anyone explain?

    Working with iDVD on a project, there is a box in the lower left corner and sometimes another in the lower right corner.  Scrolling over the one in the lower left corner, I get a message indicating that this box hides or shows the intro movie.  I have checked and unchecked the box, but see nothing different in the project.  Nor can I figure out what is meant by "intro movie."  Can anyone explain?

    Go to iDVD Help and type in Intro Movie, and you will get the full version of this:
    Many iDVD themes have “motion menus” that include animations or video that loop, or play repeatedly, until the viewer clicks a menu button. Themes with motion menus have a motion icon in the lower-right corner.
    In addition to background video, iDVD motion menus may also feature an intro, or short animation, that plays once before the part that loops. Other motion menus also include an “outro” that plays after the viewer clicks a button, serving as a transition between the menu and the selected content.
    An example of an iDVD 6.0 theme with an intro and an outro is Reflection White Main. In this theme, the first drop zones appear in the intro, and the buttons and title appear just before the looping part of the background video. In the outro, everything flies offscreen after the viewer clicks a button.
    iDVD provides tools for viewing these motion menus without going into preview mode, which is especially helpful when you are filling drop zones, and for turning the intro or outro off.
    Here are ways to view and edit the background movie:
    ◼ 
    Drag the diamond-shaped motion playhead along the scrubber bar (shown below), to view the background movie, stopping wherever you like.
    (If you don’t see the motion playhead in iDVD, choose View > Show Motion Playhead.)
    ◼ 
    Deselect the checkboxes at the left and right end of the scrubber bar if you don’t want to use the intro or outro, respectively, in your DVD menu.
    The scrubber bar shows the intro and outro as shaded areas at the beginning and end.
    You can also control the intro and outro from the Menu Info window. With your pointer over the menu (and with no buttons or text objects selected), press Command-I to open that window. Select or deselect the Intro and Outro checkboxes in the Background section of the window.
    NOTE: If you drag your own movie to a motion menu background, the outro is automatically removed. To customize the background and keep the outro, use a still image in the menu background instead of a movie.

  • All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them.

    All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. I have 3 user accounts set up and I cannot access any of them.   Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them. Originally I had Snow Leopard installed on one hard drive and 10.5.8 installed on another.   I started to have some problems accessing data between them and so I tried changing the permissions on ONE hard drive partition.   The next thing I know, all my drives are locked (except the ones with the systems on them), the small lock appeared in the lower left corner of the drive icons and I don't have permissions to access any of them.   In the get info window, permissions are set to 'Custom' and I can't change them.

    There is suddenly a lock icon on my external backup drive!

  • Programs will not open. The button in the lower left corner of the screen continuously blinks.

    Whenever I open Firefox on my other laptop I cannot get into any programs. The icon in the lower left corner of the screen that lets you know when a program has completed loading just blinks constantly.

    Got the exact same problem aswell, finally fed up with it now as i just started up firefox and 14 new windows opened because of this bug, luckily my computer can handle them but someone with a slower processor it would have been a nightmare, needs fixing ASAP.
    Reverting back to 3.6.3 until this issue is solved. (link for anyone wanting to do the same below)

  • Notes in the lower left corner?

    The frame in the lower left corner of iCal can be a calender or notes. I don't get the notes I'm adding to an entrance in the calender (ex a meeting) to show up in the lower left frame - or isn't this the purpose. What is supposed to appear in the "notes box"?

    Greetings,
    That box is not for notes, it's for notifications.
    When you send or receive an invitation in the mail from another iCal user that will allow you to add it to your calendar and respond to the sender that you have done so.

    Hello Kathie,
    Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
    Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
    Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
    Let me know if this converts fine.

  • After Firefox updates I can see my tool bars, but the screen below is blank and I can't do anything in Firefox. I says "Done" in the lower left corner. What's up?

    Following the automatic update of Firefox, which happens when I open it, it often occurs that I can't do anything in Firefox. All the tool bars appear, but below is a white screen. When I click on a bookmark, nothing happens except the word "Done" appears in the lower left corner and the screen remains white.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

  • My MacBook Pro was stolen less than a week ago, and I'm not sure if the hard drive was wiped, if it was wiped would I still be able to find it with the findiphone app?

    My MacBook Pro was stolen less than a week ago, and I'm not sure if the hard drive was wiped, if it was wiped would I still be able to find it with the findiphone app? Or would it be untraceable after it was wiped? I had alot of special things on my laptop, and I would hate it if I didn't find it, so I'm hoping it wasn't wiped and I will be able to find it soon, HELP ME IF YOU CAN PLEASE! ANYTHING HELPS!

    If that drive was erased, you should have received a confirmation email.

  • Every time I scroll, there's a clicking sound coming from the top left corner of my macbook

    Similar to the clicking sound of my hard drive, every time I scroll, or whenever there is any sort of animation on my screen, there's a similar clicking sound coming from the top left corner on my , around the area where the microphone is. I know the hard drive is at the bottom right corner, so is this a graphics card issue or am I overlooking the issue?

    It is better to take the MBP to the Apple store for evaluation.
    They have the diagnostic tools to make sure that there is no problem with the computer.
