Anyone else have a loose USB port?

I bought my 13" MacBook Pro about a month ago or so, It's the latest refresh of the MacBook Pro 13" line. I have an i5 2.4ghz pro. w/ 4gb of RAM, 500 HD and Lion of course. So just the other day I noticed that one of the two USB slots I have on the left side of the computer is very loose. It's the USB port that is closest to the SD card slot. Basically if I plug in a device to it I notice A LOT of wiggle room in there. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue since the computer is fairly new. Anyways if I plug in that same USB device to the other USB slot it doesnt wiggle nearly as much as the other one. When a device is plugged into the loose port and wiggled it doesnt disconnect or anything like that, it's just loose and I know it doesnt seem like a huge problem but when you pay 1200+ for something you dont expect things like this. Anyone's input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. I'm most likely going to pay a visit to the Genius Bar.

That's what I would do.  Loose usb ports aren't normal.

  • Loose USB Port Connection

    I bought a brand new Playbook 32GB today and took it out of the box to charge it. I used the supplied charger to plug it into the wall. I found that the charger had a very loose fit laterally and can wiggle several degrees in each direction. The charging cable does not fit snugly into the port. This is obviously concerning due to the fact that it's brand new and will only get looser over time. The reason for the loose fit is not a loosely secured port inside the unit.  Upon closer inspection it appears that the micro usb port is not crimped to the trapezoidal shape of the micro usb head. The small metal frame is more of a full oval. I would guess this is a sign of a shoddy production mistake. Can anyone else comment on if their port is crimped to shape or experienced the same thing. A link to a photo is below. Please advise. Thank you.

    I had the same thing happen to me mine was not the Playbook but the AC adapter. I called RIM and they sent me a new AC adapter it works now.  If you have a newer Blackberry smartphone you can use that charger or charge it using the usb cable.
    Please give me Kudos if you feel like I helped you

    Makes it sound like the charging port is damaged or loose.

  • TS1398 My new IPad mini has poor wifi reception. Goes in and out.  My IPod, IPhone, Ipad1 and Ipad2 work finer. I think it has wifi antenna issues.  Does anyone else have this problem?

    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%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    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.

  • I have an iphone 4, when I plug in headphones I can pick up music and only background sounds, but no voices. It happens on every video or movie I see, but music works perfectly fine. Did anyone else have this problem or was it just me?

    I have an iphone 4, when I plug in headphones I can pick up music and only background sounds, but no voices. It happens on every video or movie I see, but music works perfectly fine. Did anyone else have this problem or was it just me? If not can anyone help me?

    Hey there Srkupo,
    It sounds like your vocal audio is not working with your headphones connected to your iPhone. I would start with the troubleshooting from the following article to help troubleshoot them named:
    Resolve issues with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch accessories
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2634
    Update your software
    Install the latest version of iOS. You can see which version is on your iPhone by going to the About screen.
    If the device doesn't update successfully, the issue might be with your device and not the accessory. Learn how to check your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Disconnect and inspect the accessory, then restart your device
    Disconnect the accessory and turn it off, if possible.
    Inspect the connection between the accessory and device and make sure that no debris or other damage is present.
    Restart your iOS device by turning it off, then back on. When the Home screen appears, reconnect the accessory.
    Try a different device
    Make sure the issue is with the accessory, if possible. Always use an identical or similar, compatible device with the accessory you're troubleshooting.
    If there's static coming from the left audio channel when you use headphones, try connecting the headphones to a similar device.
    If the device isn't syncing when connected to the dock, connect it directly to the computer using the Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or try another USB port.
    If you're using Lightning to 30-pin Adapter in a connection chain, try using the same adapter on a similar or identical device.
    Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Restore your iOS device. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue only affects a third-party accessory, contact the manufacturer before restoring the device.
    If this does not resolve the issue could you elaborate on where you are listening to this content from to help isolate the issue?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • My daughter bought an 4th generation ipod classic without a charger.  We are using the charger from an ipod touch and it won't charge.  Someone posted online that not all chargers will work on the classic.  Anyone else have this issue and any suggestions?

    My daughter bought a 4th generation ipod classic without a charger.  The ipod was working just fine, but then we tried to charge it using a brand new charger for an Ipod Touch.  It won't charge and someone online someone posted that there ipod touch charger worked on the ipad, phone and whatever else he had but it wouldn't work on the classic.  Anyone else have this same issue?  Any solutions?

    The ipod did not come with a power cord as we purchased it used from ebay.  The ipod was half charged when we received it and it worked well enough to transfer songs to my computer (the previous seller didn't delete their 2000 plus songs).  My son then used the same cord on his computer to transfer the songs, but processed an update to the ipod and after that,it wouldn't work.  So, I'm not sure if we received a bum ipod, an update issue or we have a charger issue, but the cord we used to transfer the songs came from my son's brand new ipod touch.  We've also tried 2 other chargers from ipods we have in the house, 1 being a wall charger. 
    One individual posted online that he took his ipod classic, mac and phone overseas with one charger and it worked fine on all but the classic.  So, I'm thinking that they cords may not be universal.  Online I've read that it must be a 6 pin firewire, high power 2.0 usb cord.  Or that I need to purchase an applie charger.  We don't live close to an apple store and I'm reluctant to order one just to have it NOT work. 
    My daughter is learning the hard way that buying off of ebay is not always the best solution to a cash strapped 12 year old.
    Any other advice is greatly appreciated.

  • When I type my email address in the "To:" field, a random name comes up next to it as "Holidays in United States". This just started happening out of the blue and I have no idea why. Does anyone else have any idea?

    When I type my email address in the "To:" field, a random name comes up next to it as "Holidays in United States". This just started happening out of the blue and I have no idea why. Does anyone else have any idea?

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

  • HELP!! Does anyone else have their entire keyboard stop working with photoshop?

    This varies for me but most of the time whenever I use Photoshop CC and CS6 my ENTIRE keyboard stops working. Not just the shortcuts but even in other apps too. The only keys that remain functional are the fn, control, option, shift, delete, all of the F keys, and command keys. I am not sure if this is due to me not having enough ram (I have 4 GB). Does anyone else have this problem and if so what did you do to fix it?

    I also have this issue and it's driving me bonkers.
    Latest Photoshop CC, up-to-date.
    Win 8.1 Pro
    Das Keyboard Pro on USB3 port.
    Issue only with Photoshop - no other applications.
    I have tried a brand new machine and a brand new keyboard (replaced my main workstation recently), so I know for sure it's not an issue with any of my hardware. I also know for sure that it's not an issue belonging only to one OS version, as I had the same issue with win7pro and win8.1pro.
    For me the issue is that ALL keyboard keys stop responding completely in Photoshop until I hit the Windows key or otherwise maximise/bring to focus any other application, such as desktop or Outlook etc. Then I immediately bring Photoshop CC back into focus and the keyboard works again. Then after a few moments/clicks/commands the keyboard dies again.
    The issue is 100% local to Photoshop CC, is not related in any way to Wacom drivers (I don't have any installed and don't use a tablet), is not related only to one OS and is not hardware related, as far as I can tell. Once again, I've had these issues on-and-off across 2 different machines with different keyboards.
    I'm wondering if it's related to Teamviewer, since TV creates focus issues with certain other applications/games etc. I will try with TV closed and see if the problem goes away.
    All CC apps are up-to-date.

  • Anyone else have an AGP card that\'s seen as PCI in device manag

    Does anyone else have an AGP card that's seen as PCI in device manager > display adapters > general > location PCI bus 1,device 0, function 0
    I'm running Win2k and that's what mine says
    I have my video set to agp in bios :(

    I think that is correct, even though it sounds strange (sometimes USB is seen as COM3). But if you are not sure about the status of the AGP, use a program like WCPUID . Sometimes, under Win98 the AGP is not enabled unless you install first the drivers for the motherboard.

  • Updated my iphone 4 to 7.0.2 yesterday, worked fine for an hour, now phone wont even turn on??? anyone else have this problem?

    I have an iphone 4, updated it to IOS 7.0.2. yesterday, it worked perfectly for a while,  now cannot even turn my fone on...
    anyone else have this problem ??
    thanks

    Hey xxikearnsxx,
    When troubleshooting power issues, the following article provides the most relevant information:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    - Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    - Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    - Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    - After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    - If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    - Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
    restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    - If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • 790GX-G65 and Phenom II-955BE anyone else have this? no voltage options

    Hi I am new to this site...I have gotten this board and the CPU too...
    anyone else have this combo...?
    I booted it with a Athlon II-250 and all was great so i grabbed a 955BE and cleared the CMOS and proceeded to fire this puppy up...
    so far its booted everytime without a hitch...
    Only issue so far is ALL the voltage options are Grayed out...
    not sure which BIOS I have but I have DL'd the MSI USB tool and the latest BIOS so we'll see what happens...
    it boots at the default 200x16 but not anything more...
    hopefully a BIOS update lets me get the options to clock this puppy up some more...

    You can RMA all you like....but looking at the manual is far more interesting:
    The grey section reads:
    Quote
    PC Health Status
       CPU/ System Temperature, CPU FAN/ SYS FAN1/ SYS FAN2 Speed, CPU
     Vcore, 3.3V, 5V, 12V
     These items display the current status of all of the monitored hardware devices/
     components such as CPU voltage, temperatures and all fans’ speeds.
    The only mention of power I read here:
    Quote
      CPU Phase Control
    When set to [Auto], the hardware will auto adjust the CPU power phase according to
    the loading of CPU to reach the best power saving function.
    No mention anywhere about voltages....did you ever open the manual at all?
    Simply put, there are NO Voltage options in the BIOS, so RMA will give the exact same board with the same options.
    Check a manual before you buy or complain about a board, all info is in there.

    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?
