Can you guys take a look at your MacBooks, need to know if normal or not...

Hi there. It seems that my hinge(s) are not level. If I have the lid closed and look at the rear of the MacBook the side of the computer that has the optical drive seems to close tighter that the side with all the ports. It is not much of a difference but it definitely seems to be just a tad off. I have not slid a feeler gauge or anything like that to see what the difference between the two sides is, but I would imagine it it close to 1/32"-1/16" difference between the 2 sides. The air gap between the lid and the base of the computer are different between the 2 sides.
I am sure it is not a huge deal, but if this is not normal I would consider getting it looked at/repaired before the warranty expires.
Thanks all!
Steve

So you don't believe that the Apple service technicians would know? I think you need more faith than that.
Here you may find five people who say it's normal, five people who say it's not, and five people who will tell you it's a giant Apple rip-off conspiracy. Hardly very reliable information.
I don't have a model like yours, but even i would assume it's not normal.

Can you please take a look at my TM Buddy log and opine on what the problem is?

Pondini,
Can you please take a look at my TM Buddy log and opine on what the problem is? I'm stuck in the "Preparing Backup" phase for what must be hours now. My last successful backup was this morning at 7:16 am. I did do a series of Software Update this morning, one of which, a security update I believe, required a restart.
I'm confused as to what the issue is, and how to get everything back to "it just works".
Many thanks in advance.

Time Machine can't read some data it needs from your backups (each of those date-stamps is one of your backups).
That's usually a problem with the drive itself, but could be the directory on it. First be sure all plugs are snug and secure, then see if you can repair it, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If that doesn't help, post back with the results. Also either tell us what kind of Mac you have, what version of OSX you're running, or post that to your Profile, so it's accessible.
This is unrelated to the original post here, so I'm going to ask the Hosts to split it off into a new thread. Since you've posted in the Lion forum, I'll assume that's what you're running. You should get a notice from them

an you delete a text messages from your mac Book OSX 10.9.2 and not delete them from your iphone 5 running version 7.0.4

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

PieroF - Can you please take a look at M.Mantovani's RT problem?

Hi Piero.
M.Mantovani seems to be having problems with FCE 3.5 on his MBP.
I suspect he is new to FCE. As a fellow countryman and expert with FCE I think you would probably be his best helper.
Could you take a look at his problems please as I have run out of ideas!

HT204088 ok im very upset I just downloaded an app from you guys and I'm trying to get a refund and I can't get a confirmation email sent to me that I purchased the app so that I can give you guys the code to get refunded I need to know what I need to do

So how do I fix this

Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like Seventy-One and me, your fellow users.
And as to your complaint, you don't need to wait for the receipt. Just look in your Purchase History; that will give you the order number. Then go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
Note as well that a refund is by no means guaranteed. The terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final, so the iTunes Store may well refuse, though in my experience they try to be accommodating whenever they can.
Regards.

HT3702 I can't purchase anything and my security code won't work. Can you guys take it off

Help I can't purchase anything :(

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Can you replace the top part of your macbook pro?

My macbook pro has some scratches and a small dent on the top and was wondering if you are able to replace this? If not, what are other options?

Yes, the display assembly can be replaced for anywhere from a few hundred to more than a thousand dollars, depending on model. Under no circumstances is this a sensible, worthwhile investment if the only reason for doing it is minor cosmetic damage.

My IPhone shut off by itself and I can't turn it back on. My lock screen button is broken and I tried plugging it into the wall but nothing happened. Can you guys please help me.

My IPhone shut off by itself and I can't turn it back on. My lock screen button is broken and I tried plugging it into the wall but nothing happened. Can you guys please help me.

IIf the battery was completely drained it might take some time before the phone will respond. Wait at least 30 minutes with the phone connected to the charger. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the phone starts up let it continue to charge until it's 100%.
if the broken button will not let you do the reset Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Hi everyone, can you guy help me? I'm trying to update my iPhone to iOS 5 how would I do that?

sync your phone to itunes, then it should say update available. I suggest doing a backup of your phone first prior to updating your phone.

Can you guys indo a update for me, it makes my phone lag

Can you guys indo a update for me? IOS 8.3 lags my phone, and the keyboard gets stuck at times. The touch ID is doesn't recognize me. Please?

You cannot regress once you've installed an update.
Try resetting your iPhone. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.

That's going to be a ridiculous waste of money and energy.
First of all, the current ATI drivers don't support multiple GPUs, so at the moment even a single 4870X2 would be only a 'normal' 4870 (which is quite a speed beast already). GFX drivers evolve rapidly, so things might look different next month, but when it comes to Linux and hardware there's one Golden Rule: stay away from the newest stuff and wait for proper support to get coded.
I also wonder what power supply could possibly cope with the differences between idle and full load; that's way beyond 400W. But then, I'm one of those "quiet&green" types where >100W idle is already a bit much.
I kind of understand that you want to get it done and not worry about hardware for the next 10 years or so, but that's simply not how the hardware world works and never did. At least not for the average consumer.

Can you guys take a look at your MacBooks, need to know if normal or not...
