Cleaning latest MBP outer case...

My MBP is about 3 months old now and I notice what appear to be dust marks that do NOT wipe off. I'm now thinking they may be oxidation marks left by my fingers as most of them are on the edges where I hold the case when picking up the computer.
Anyone know of a product that will remove these marks? I've tried a bit of lens cleaner with no effect.

iKlear might work. I use it on my MBP all the time. I have a hard shell case from Speck that protects my aluminum really well.

Vodka -- alcohol. Makes sense. I guess Irish whiskey wouldn't work as well due to the colour, because Jameson's would be my bevvy of choice if I were to down a few shots before.
Drink the Irish, and as for the cleaning Vodka, buy the absolute cheapest one in the store, the one you wouldn't want to drink.
They all meet FDA standards for human consumption unlike alcohol in the drug store.

I just got my MacBook Air and every time I go to a website other ads and websites pop up saying I need to clean my mac out. Any ideas on what I should do?

When I am surfing the web other websites pop up saying I need to clean my mac out or I am a winner of something. I just got my Mac so I'm not sure how this happened.

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one. Even if you find none of the items listed in this step, go on to Step 2.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

SSD Manufacturer in the latest MBP

Hi all,
Just wondering who the manufacturer behind the SSDs (256GB, 512GB) in the latest MBPs is. I want to check the read/write speed/decay benchmarks before I make a decision.
Thanks,
OA

Thanks! Interesting the SSD is Apple branded.
It's not. The TS stands for Toshiba. (APPLE SSD TS512B ) According to Barefeats, they believe they are Toshiba drives.

and it is affecting my CD's that I put in my Mac
I have to loosen the screws on the bottom to get the CD's out....
Can I change out the entire outer shell ... Tack the components out and put them in a new shell????

Three places you can look:
http://www.macpartsonline.com/
http://www.ifixit.com/Mac-Parts/MacBook-Pro
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/MacBook--Macbook-Pro-Parts-and-Repair-p-1-c-446.ht ml
Or, you can go to an Apple store & inquire about "Flat Rate Repair". Not documented, but users have used such. Cost is around US $300.

Hi, I did not understand your problem exactly, but I am sending you an sample query according to my understanding.
select <fields names> from <tablename> where name = '%xxx'.
here % is used for searching for all the names which ends with 'xxx'
If you give some more details briefly then I can try for you.

Display too dim for the latest MBP 13" retina

Bought the latest mbp 13" retina yesterday and I found the display is too dim even I change the brightness to the brightest,
it's more obvious when I compare it with my late 2010 mba as it looks more bright on the mba even its not on full brightness,
any other way that I could tune for a more brighter display for my mbp?
Cheers.

Need HDD plastic outer case cover for Satalite L300D-242

Hello all! :)
I have a Toshiba Satalite L300D-242 Laptop and am looking for the Hard Disk plastic outer case cover, can anyone help, part number?
Thank you
Dawny

Hi mate
Im not sure what part do you need.
Are you looking for an external USB case for a 2.5 HDD?
You can purchase such part in many online shops. You will need one which is compatible with SATA 2.5 HDD.
Otherwise I recommend contacting an Toshiba ASP in your country if you need an part especially for your notebook model.

Can aluminum outer case be replaced?

I have a 2008-09 version 15 inch MacBook Pro laptop. I dropped my briefcase from about 2 feet. The corner the laptop was damaged, still works fine, but ports don't line up with port hardware inside the outer case.
Can case be repaired/replaced and what would average cost be?
Thanks, JRehling11

HI!
There is a slight chance that you will be able to simply take apart and put back together the housing of your computer and everything be fine. However, more than likely you will have to buy a completely new case for your computer which will cost you a pretty penny.

Replacing the outer case??

I was wondering if that in the future if your ipod nano or any other ipod gets so scratched that, can you actually send it somewhere like to apple and pay for a new outer case to be replaced? kind of like buying a new one?
I read the article about buying Bresno and lceaning it with that but what if your scratches are to deep?

Hi
I think you would be able to buy new covers but the price will be more for the parts than to buy an new ipod.
I saw on one site that they sold to ipod g4 frontcover for 80 dollars and a
display for 149 dollar.

Ipod "Outer Case"

I fell, and my ipod case bent a little bit and the "mirror/silvery" side got dented a couple of times. It bent at the bottom where you plug the USB cable into, and this makes it hard to put the cable in!
I was just wondering if they have replacement "Outer cases" (the actual ipod casing... with the colour side and the mirror/silver side) for it!
Thanks so much in advance!

I wouldnt get a new one because that would involve taking out the electronics. I would go to www.handhelditems.com/apple-ipod-shuffle-apple-ipod-shuffle-cases-c-418614731.html / They have the metal covers that will cover up all those dents and make it look good and protect it.
