Does your MBP studder? Help.

I just got my 2GHz MacBook Pro. Yay! But something concerns me.
Ever since I turned it on nearly two hours ago, I notice that when I move windows, use a scrollbar in a browser, even typing in iChat... There's bigtime lag. Like every half second there's a 1/4-second lag where the system then has to "catch up." Like it's under massive load - but it's not. Top reveals that it's not. Sometimes it's not the case, but is maybe 90% of the time.
I wondered if it was a power management, CPU sleeping thing but I can't seem to affect it with settings. But here- just now, for instance. I am typing in this window in Safari and I type ahead of the page - it studders and cathes up, but iChat just bounced its icon (someone pm'ed me) and for a second or two typing was glass smooth. It's like, if there IS load, then the system is smooth.
Is this a power management issue? I should take a movie of it and show you folks. If this isn't resolvable, I'll definitely have to return the unit.
Help anyone? Thanks.

On my Intel based iMac, I made the mistake of using the Migration Assistant to copy data over to my new machine. Even though I did not ask it copy applications, it still copied some apps over. I wound up with a new machine running a bunch of stuff under Rosseta emulation and it was dog slow. I reloaded the OS and copied the data I wanted manually and life is good now. I'm not sure if this is your situation, but I thought I would mention it.

Does your MBP make the same noise too?

Hey guys when you insert a CD or DVD into your MBP does your computer make a slight buzzing noise. I was just wondering to see if this was common or a problem. Thanks

If I understand you correctly these noises are quite normal.

How well does your MBP close?

Just got my MBP yesterday, and besides one dead pixel, and a little whine (mirror widget seems to fix just fine for now), and this closing thing I am very happy.
Whenever I close my MBP it latches fine, but the left, front side has a "sizable" gap between the screen and the primary mass of the machine. It is something I have no trouble living with because it seems to be purely superficial, but I was curious just how well the MBPs are suppose to close? All the way with no space? small gap because of spacers? bigger gap because of... crooked screen?
... I think my hard drive just mooed...
thanks

Your left latch is NOT locking in place. The latches should both lock in place. If you notice when you close the lid, looking between the display and the body, the left latch is not locking in place. Mine has the gap too, because the left latch is not catching. If you firmly close it with some pressure it WILL catch, sometimes. Both latches should lock in place by gently closing the lid. By closing the lid slowly you will see the right latch comes down and begins to attach to the magnetic bar, the left latch won't even come down to the magnetic bar. It's like the magnetic bar on the left is too deep to catch the metal latch, or too weak. Mine is going back for that reason and the whine issue.

How fast does your MBP battery die?

Hi everyone,
I've just received my third Macbook Pro battery. I used it ONCE and now it's down to 98% capacity. What is wrong with those batteries? Are yours degrading as fast?
Detail: I received the brand new battery. Charged it to 100%, left it charged for a few hours, and then drained it until the MBP went to sleep, left it until the LED went out (standard calibration procedure). After subsequent charging the capacity is only 5420 out of 5500 mAh.
Battery one was nearing 70% capacity after 3-4 months and was bulging (swollen battery issue). Battery two had less than 50% capacity left after less than 6 months and would cut power with no prior notice.
MBP 1,8 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Clearly your first two batteries were bad. Don't freak out just yet, though. That magic number - 5500 mAh - is the nominal capacity of a new battery for a 15" MBP. Did you actually check the full charge capacity before you calibrated it? Because nominal means "stated or expressed but not necessarily corresponding exactly to the real value" (see definition #3 in the dictionary widget). So, it's possible that you actually started with a 5400 mAh battery which imporved with calibration, or a 5600 mAh battery that dropped more than 2%, etc. Point is, there have been some bad batteries (thank you, Sony!) and you were unlucky to get two in a row, but don't assume a 2% drop means you got a 3rd lemon.
I've got just over 60 cycles, and my battery 'health' fluctuates between 90% and 97% - and yes, I mean fluctuates- as in falls and rises - from charge to charge. Sometimes it will drop 3% in one charge cycle, then rise 5% the next, etc...
So, relax and just keep an occasional eye on it.

Does your MBP Retina 15 have bent screen glass in the upper corners?

I have a new 15" MacBook Pro and I am trying to figure out if this is normal or not. I had an older 15 MBP Retina and it did not have this characteristic. Maybe I'm crazy, but I am more concerned about potential for issues down the road as far as dust getting behind the screen and whatnot.
Sadly I don't have a working battery for my DSLR so I cant use my Macro Lens. Using my iPhone though it seems easier to look at the reflection than it was getting it to focus and show the line.
To me it looks like the glass bent and maybe even cracked. I am guessing there's some additional coating on the user facing side and this is what's making it look less significant and holding the glass into place. If you imagine a clear piece of plastic, just think of what happens when you fold a corner and make a crease. This seems to be a similiar issue.

So now what if I tell you I spoke to a store manager and he went on the floor and looked at their display modles. He claims he saw a similiar but less noticible effect on them. My photos don't show it because the iPhone just cant focus right. There is a straight line right where the "Warping" starts. Looks like you used the smudge tool in photoshop or something like that in the reflection.

Does the retina display help your eyes when on the computer?

Does the retina display help your eyes when on the computer for a long period of time? Does it make a difference if you have eye problems?

First, I'd suggest posting your question on the MacBook Pro forum. This is the Mac Pro forum, where the computers start at 50 pounds and go up from there (at least so far).
Second, I think it depends on what your eye problems are. I can say that there's a lot less reflection off the screen than the standard MacBook Pro glossy screen; it's similar to the anti-glare screens that you can find on other Mac laptops. The Retina display also has the ability to present a much crisper image with compatible software.

Hi Poonam26c,
If you do not have a local copy of a song which you have purchased (i.e. it is available via iTunes in the Cloud), you may need to redownload it before you can transfer it to your device. You may find the following article helpful:

Another person who doesn't understand how to set CLASSPATH.
Move those JARs into the same directory as your SendMailBean.java and do it like this:
javac -classpath .;mail.jar;activation.jar -d . *.java

Ok I am ready to throw my S3- it drops calls constantly- sent it back, got a new one, now is doing the same thing- HELP???

OK ok I am ready to throw my S3- it drops calls constantly- sent it back, got a new one, now is doing the same thing- HELP???- I know others have had this problem , is there a permanent fix or do i switch phones?

Hi kiz,
I also have the Galaxy S3 and I have not experienced any issues with calls. I want you to have the same experience! As indicated by Ann154 (thank you!), the coverage in your area may have something to do with the quality of your calls. Please provide us with your ZIP code and we'll check the type of coverage in your area. We can also replace the SIM card to ensure that this issue is not SIM card related. If you have not requested a SIM card replacement yet, please follow me and send me a DM with your account number and I will follow up with you to order a SIM card replacement.
