Does anyone have trouble with the new MBP unibody cover/lid falling shut?

My new MBP unibody lid will close inadvertently after a certain angle. The tension on my white Macbook was nice--I could angle the lid at ANY angle, from all the way open to almost closed, an d it would stay put. Not the MBP. As I lay in bed with this new laptop, if the sceen isn't angled far enough back it just swings shut, as if it is too heavy or the tension of the hinges isnt tight enough! Anyone else have this problem? I read somewhere that Steve Jobs "intended it to be this way." Huh.

I have a 17" mid-07 MBP
I have the same problem. I'm currently sick in bed for the last 2 days and have been going crazy with this problem. I spent half the day looking online for some kind of clamp to keep the screen from being able to close. Basically every 3 minutes I have to push my screen back again. Every time I cough. My lid comes flying down. So annoying.

    Don't confuse the threads here with 'typical' experience.  Most of the stuff here is from brand new users, and those that have problems, and considering the 30 million pads in use, represent a very small sliver.
    If you are having repeated crashes it is really pretty basic.  You either have a physical problem with your pad, or you are using too much memory.
    The iOS system is supposed to monitor memory, and shut down previously used apps automatically to free up memory for what you are doing now.  That part of ios is not perfect, and if an app introduces an unexpected memory load, sometimes it gets over whelmed.  
    This happens, more often than not, when using safari with multiple windows open on graphic intense sites.  It can also happen with a memory intensive game, and residual apps in the background.
    Double  tap the home key and take a peek at the recently used list, and shut them down completely, and often the problem goes away.
    If the problem persists, you may have a software issue, and a trip to the genius bar may be in order.

  • Does anyone have trouble with the screen disappearing while making a call and trying to turn the speaker on?

    I have to use the speaker portion of my phone whenever I make or take a call.  Sometimes the screen goes out as I'm trying to hit the speaker button. Does this happen to anyone else? And any suggestions how to stop this?

    The iPhone is designed to have the screen go dark during a phone call, since the phone is normally up to your ear and you would not want to be touching the screen with your ear and possibly touching random buttons. This is done by the proximity sensor, which is located near the ear speaker on the phone. When you are reaching to turn on the speaker, it is possible that you are crossing this sensor light and it turns off the screen. I have done this before. If you try reaching from the bottom of the screen, does this still happen? Try to keep your hand away from the top front portion of the phone and see if that helps.

  • Does anyone have trouble with the latest E71's fir...

    I' ve just upgraded my E71's Firmware, now i get in trouble with this FW. There are some problems:
    1. My device always auto restart 
    2. When i'm charging my E71, sometimes, it appears a message " Simcard not available"
    3. My E71 is full charging but after one day it need help with a message " low battery "

    I don't get any of those problems and been running the 300 for many months.
    What I suggest you do, is BACK UP YOUR PHONE BEFORE YOU start formatting and erasing!
    Then, reset or reformat your phone as described by the previous poster, additionally it could be something in your backup thats causing the problem.
    Second, instead of reformatting the handset you can reflash the SAME firmware to the handset again with NSU, there might have been a problem when it copied it into the flash memory (unlikely as it has a checksum) however you cannot rule that out.
    If its having SIM card problems - it could be related to this:
    /discussions/board/message?board.id=topfaq&thread.id=119 OK it says memory card, but could be a similar issue.
    Additionally you could charge or get the battery from another phone and allow yours to discharge it to until the phone switches off.
    I would at least reflash the firmware myself again, I have seen a difference with handsets when this is done. Why? I don't know.

  • Does anyone have trouble with the space bar yielding either an M or N? I am pretty careful by very frequently get this error. Anybody seen similar?

    I am not the best typist but have tried going slowly. It seems the space bar is mis-aligned and when I try to add a space I get either and M or N. Very frustrating. Is there a way to recalibrate the screen to solve this problem?

    are you connected to a wall charger while you are trying that?
    sometimes when i connect to a wall charger, the callibration gets messed up, but when there is skin contact with the back, it goes away for some reason

  • TS1741 Does anyone have trouble with the Remote app losing contact with the iTunes library after it has been connected and working fine for a while. If I go to the computer and turn off sharing, then turn it back on, it will relocate the library again.

    My iTunes remote app on my ipad mini will work fine for a while and then it will lose the library. I then have to turn off sharing on the computer and then turn it back on. This will work for a while and then I will have to repeat the process. Help!

    I have just found the problem to be windows firewall on my library PC
    I can only presume there has been an update to windows firewall or iTunes
    all the relevant programs were on the allowed list
    I'm now currently running with firewall turned off on my library PC.
    I'll update when i have found the rogue setting.

  • Anyone having trouble with the new update for 2010 mac book air 10.8.2?

    Anyone having trouble with the new update for 2010 mac book air 10.8.2 ? My 2010 Macbook Air has crashed 15times since the 10.8.2 update. Have only once since owning it.

    Turned out the hardware was bad.  Apple exchanged it for a new Mac Air and the new trackpad works great.  Thank goodness it was a defect.  If the trackpads all worked like that I would have been bummed.

  • Using Alu Power Adapter with The new MBP Unibody 2009 ? (Both 85 Watts)

    Hi,
    Can i use the Power Adapter off my Aluminium MBP 2.5 GHz,15" intel core 2 Duo (MacBookPro4,1), with the new Unibody 15" 2.66 GHz(MacBookPro5,1)?
    They are both 85 Watts.
    The Power adapter for Aluminium is :
    Input : 100-240V - 1,5A 50-60Hz
    Output : 16,5-18,5V, 4,6 A Max
    Delta Eletronic
    The Power Adapter for Unibody is :
    Input : 100-240V - 1,5A 50-60Hz
    Output : 18,5V 4,6A, 16,5V, 3,6A
    LiteOn Technology
    Thanks for The Lights.

    That's correct, I meant to type 85W.
    Can anyone advise what the impact will be of using older 85W adapters with the new MBP's that come with a 60W adapter?
    Is there a shorter battery life in the long-term, or is the new battery designed to cope the same with either of these power adapters?

  • Does anyone have problems with the lightening to USB cable when charging from an outlet? After 6  months of use, it seems to wear out as a result of twisting caused by using the iPad while charging?

    Does anyone else have problems with the lightening to USB cables, particularly the longer version, when using the iPad and charging at the same time?
    If so, am I doing anything wrong?

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee
    Cheers, Gerd

  • Does anyone have trouble with aps closing unexpectedly

    I have trouble with pinterest for one just shutting down while I am clicking on links to read any one else have this problem?

    In the subject you mention "apps", but in your message you speak about only one app.
    If there is only one single app that crashes, contact the developer of that app.
    If you have many apps (even built-in apps) quitting unexpectedly, try a reset first: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
    If the reset doesn't fix it, try a restore:

  • Hi, does anyone have issues with the Camera app uploading photos to the photo album? This happens after I downloaded iOS8.1.2

    I have just updated my iPhone iOS to 8.1.2. Since then, the camera is not able to upload photos to the album immediately and some are even lost. Does anyone have the same issue or know how to fix this?

    I found it much easier to have my apps on the last page and let the pre-loaded apps stay where they are on the first couple of pages.  While I'd prefer to have my apps first, at least they are all together.  I found it far too much work to try to move them around another way, plus it shifts some things around in a way that I did not intend.
    BTW, I definitely prefer the Fascinate's arrangement of the icons over the Droid X2, which is always in alphabetical order in a vertical non-stop continuum.
