When I press slightly on either side of my macbook pro august 2011 trackpad or if I click the trackpad, I hear a light tick noise, sounds kinda like metal.  Anyone else have this problem? What is it?

It's a spring-loaded grounding contact between the top case/chassis and the bottom pan of the machine. When you press, it scratches against the inside of the bottom pan and makes the sound. It's completely harmless and doesn't indicate that anything is wrong, but it can be slightly annoying. A visit to a Genius Bar may result in quieting it partially or completely.

  • When I try to enter codes for digital movie downloads it tells me "code redemption is temporarily unavailable. Try again later." Customer support has been no help. Anyone else have this problem?

    Am sick of going back and forth with what has turned out to be worthless customer support. Have sent them so much info and pictures, no help. All they do is send me links for instructions on how to redeem the codes. I know how to redeem, I have redeemed at least 50 codes. To them I am obviously an idiot though. To me it seems to be a problem on their end, but can't get an answer from them on why it is telling me code redemption is unavailable. Please help! Anybody!

    Confirming my suspicions with every passing hour. Support on this forum is non-existent like the support from Apple support. But, you got my money now... why would you care?

  • The sound on all of my game apps and my alerts has stopped working. Still works for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube... Anything video related. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do to fix it?

    The sound on all of my game apps and my alerts has stopped working. Still works for Netflix, Hulu, YouTube... Anything video related. Anyone else have this problem or know what I should do to fix it?

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • My iPad (new generation) keeps "crashing" ( losing most apps not related )  requiring a complete reset/erase and restore.  Does anyone else have this problem?  I would like to know what is causing this problem.

    My new iPad keeps "crashing" (losing apps, usually not Apple).  This requires me to do a reset/erase and restore from backup.  Does anyone else have this problem? 

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • Staticky voice-over... anyone else have this problem?

    I set my clock on my MBP to announce the hour at the top of every hour. My g4 Ti-book was also set up to do this, and it was a bit of a comfort during LATE NIGHT work sessions. I've set up the MBP to do this, but when it reads the hour it sounds very very bad. I can hear the voiceover voice start to talk, but then it cuts in and out rapidly (like static) and stops after less than a second. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there some odd setting (like the setting in the MIDI-utility that was causing web audio not to be heard) that might be affecting the voiceover utility? Oddly, when i have voiceover read other text, it sounds just fine. Its only the hourly time report thats messed up.

    Lightroom 4, Windows 8, Dell Laptop Inspiron 17, Pentium Processor 1.8 Ghz It would do it occasionally on the old computer but on this computer it's several times a day.  This is a brand new laptop and installed Lightroom from a disk, so no changes.

  • Can't use HT x 3 on Diamond board, anyone else have this problem?

    No matter what I do I can't use the HT multiplier of 3, works fine at 4 and 5 but 3 just give me a no boot up. Anyone else have this problem?

    Hi,
    If your BIOS was based on version 5.XX then you might like to try version 1.9/3.9 as when I tried that BIOS 3x didn't work either....come to think of it, neither did a few other things!
    In fact that BIOS you are using is one that I have not ever seen for the 7100 series, where did you get it? ...and are you sure it is for the SLi version of the board and not for the 7125/Ultra chipset?
    Regards
    K6dude
    The Bios is available from the Diamond Club so its for my board. I have to date tried Bios V1.7, 1.9 1.A1 and 50C and none of them allowed me to use HT x 3.
    Tiresmoke, would you mind sending me a pm of your settings? It may give me a clue as to what the problem may be. Cheers.

  • My iPhone does not alert every time I receive a text message, only some of the time.  Anyone else have this problem?

    My iPhone 4S does not alert every single time I receive a text message, only some of the time.  The software is all up to date.  Anyone else have this problem?

    There are a number of different alerts that can be played on the iPhone. Have you turned the mute switch on? That is located on the side of the phone. When it is in the down/on position (the orange is showing) you should not get any sound alerts. Also, it could be an SMS, a voicemail, an email, a 3rd party alert (if you have particiular apps that provide alerts). You would need to check all of those settings, but with the mute switch on you should not get any sound alerts.

  • Photoshop CS4 does not recognize raw photos taken with newer cameras. Anyone else have this problem?

    Photoshop CS4 will not recognize RAW2 photos taken with my new Panasonic Lumix FZ100 camera. This camera is listed in Adobe's 6.2 Camera Raw update for Photoshop CS5 but cannot be loaded in CS4. I paid a lot of money for CS4 and don't want to buy CS5 just because I bought a new camera, but it appears that Adobe no longer updates Camera Raw for CS4 or with newer cameras. When I called the Help Desk to find out if there was some kind of patch I could get to make CS4 compatible with my new camera a gentleman in New Delhi informed me that he couldn't even answer my question until I paid $40 since answering questions about CS4 was a "paid service." I hung up in a rage. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a solution?

    This camera is listed in Adobe's 6.2 Camera Raw  update for Photoshop CS5 but cannot be loaded in CS4.
    Adobe does indeed not update obsolete versions of Camera Raw for new camera types.
    And guess what: It’s the camera producers who seem to like to change their raws – so how about spreading some of your indignation their way?
    I paid a lot of  money for CS4 and don't want to buy CS5 just because I bought a new  camera
    The upgrade is cheaper than buying the full version.
    Anyway, you could try the free DNG Converter which should be able to handle everything the most recent version of Camera Raw can handle.

  • Almost everytime I sign into Game Center or into a game itself my iPad goes back to desktop. Does anyone else have this problem?

    I'm having a lot of problems sometimes signing into Game Center, or when the game itself is loaded I will click on something and it pretty much crashes and goes back to desktop! This is very annoying. Just not sure why this keeps happening. Does anyone else have this problem and know what the cause of it may be?

    My guess would be you don't have enough memory available to run the games that you are trying to play. This is not supposed to happen in iOS - but I have seen too many instances to believe that the iOS can handle it properly all of the time. My suggestion would be to close all apps in the recents tray, reboot and start over again and see if that helps.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    The problem could be something else software related and restoring the device might help, but I would start with this and see how it goes.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • I just upgraded my apple TV and now when I rent a movie on iTunes, instead of it playing instantly, it takes 60 hours to load. Anyone else have this problem?

    i just upgraded my apple TV and now when I rent a movie on iTunes, instead of it playing instantly, it takes 60 hours to load. Anyone else have this problem?

    Apple Support, I have just purchased 3 movies 2 from my account and 1 from my wifes account and both systems are stating that it will take 2 days to download.  I have a FIOS 150 megabit per second up and 150 megabit per second down busiuness class fiber service to my location.  I have tested downloading 10Gbyte files from two other locations and both work fine.  I additionally went out and have tested doing speed tests (http://www.speedtest.net/) from over 10 other locations all over the US and all are over 75 magabits per second download speeds with a few hitting 100 and 125 megabit per second speeds.  What is wrong with your servers or your internet connection????
    This is VERY FUSTRATING!!!
    I have additionally tried to download them with my Apple TV and two different PCs all wired on Gigabit Ethernet with jumbo frames enabled.  I have tried differnet DNS servers also.  I can upload and download files to my office 50G in less than 1 hour.  I have also download movies from 2 other movie sites without any problems.

  • Siri doesn't work still after the apple rep I spoke to said it would be back up this morning. anyone else have this problem too? and how can I fix it?

    it has been 24 hours and  Siri still doesn't want to take any commands anyone else have this problem too? and how can I fix it? she just keeps saying there is something wrong and to try again later. I didn't buy this phone to be jipped on any features.

    Mine wasnt working either but i saw in another thread that you should try Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. Ignore the warnings, all your settings have to be changed back but you dont lose any media or data, you just have to put your background back and location settings. It fixed Siri for me but dictation still doesnt work. Hopefully it works for you :-]
