Front Left Corner of MBA Off-Balance?

I've had my MBA for about 10 days now, and I love everything about it. I have everything set up the way I want it, but I cannot help notice the front left corner is off-balance. I saw a post about this recently, but I was not sure what people concluded. Is this simply a design defect, or did I just happen to get a MBA that does not sit "level"? If anyone has/had a similar problem, let me know (as my 14 days to return it is nearing a close). Thanks in advance!

Mine will occasionally shift a tad when I have been running it hard. Usually a light twist in the reverse direction sets it flat again. This happens about once per week (but I run it hot constantly with development, etc.).
If it is more than a hair off then yes the other advice to exchange it is sound. However these machines are very thin and are cast aluminum so I would expect it to shift when a lot of heat is applied.

  • Panic when front left of 12" iBook G4 is held

    I tend to pick up small laptops my putting my thumb on the top surface and the fingers of the same hand underneath. Twice now I have picked up my 12" G4 iBook like this with my left hand (so my thumb runs from the front left corner towards to alt key, and my fingers are underneath the various modifier keys on the left) and the machine has paniced. It's not repeatable at will, so I suspect it depends on exactly what is flexing. On the occasion I looked at the stack trace, the wireless appeared to be deeply involved, which may be coincidence or may indicate I managed to flex the mini-PCI card. has anyone seen this problem? My obvious workaround is to pick the machine up with my right hand instead...

    Some people using 12-inch PowerBook G4s have had the same thing happen; it was because the AirPort Extreme card was slightly out of place. Try using these instructions to remove and reinsert the card.

  • My MacBook Pro just turned itself off while installing Windows 7. It has now got a black screen with a white flashing bar in the top left corner...what can I do?

    I was just installing windows 7 onto my MacBook Pro. I selected to have 200GB for Windows and the rest leave for Mac.
    I clicked install and the bar filled up as it should do. However, once the install had completed, my MacBook turned itself off. I assumed this was normal. Now, my MacBook has a black screen with a white flashing underscore in the top left corner.
    What is wrong and what should I do?

    Hold down the Option key when starting up then on the sceen that comes up select Mac OS X to boot from.
    The Win 7 install didn't go well and is hung in some way. You should use boot camp assistant to remove the win partition and start over.
    Make sure you are using a Retail version of Win 7. A Branded OEM version, like ones from Dell and HP, will NOT work to install Windows 7 on your Mac.

  • So I have an iPad 2 for two years. Has never been dropped or in water or damaged in any way....now the volume is distorted and I get booted off the web all the time. Plus it shows and no service in top left corner. Any one have these issues?

    So I got is iPad as a gift and the same issues I had with my iPhone 4S is also happening with my iPad. Will Apple cover the problem as it lies within there updates or something. All I know I have taken perfect care of both products and volume is distorted. Can't listen to music, I get booted off the web all the time, I can't even chat with Apple icare it won't work and no service shows on top left corner. What is wrong with Apple products? I'm thinking it's time to switch! I've had to change my iPhone twice now......first time for mic not working and then camera shutter kept sticking. Same on my iPad........ I don't want to pay to get this fixed as it's not my fault this is happening...... It's software apparently?

    This really is starting to feel like a hardware issue than a software one.
    Especially if hearing noises when you connecting up your iPad for charging.
    Something happened to your iPad that has nothing to do with a software update.
    This is why I recommend that
    I can't help you any farther.
    It sounds as if you really need to take this iPad in for a repair.
    Since you are reluctant to do this, there is nothing more I can suggest to you.
    Good Luck on whatever you decide to do.

  • Anytime I move my mouse my current window disappears. I move the mouse to the top left corner and then I comes back. How can I turn this off?

    Anytime I move my mouse my current window that is open disappears. When I move my mouse to the top left corner it comes back. How do I turn this off? It's not a Zoom issue, it disappears completely. Help please.

    Are you running 10.6 Snow Leopard as your profile indicates?
    If so, it sounds like maybe an Expose or Active Screen Corners issue?
    Go to Apple > System Preferences > Expose & Spaces > Expose and
    1. experment with the Active Screen Corners selections
    2. take a look at your F key settings for Expose
    3. lastly check your Dashboard settings

  • How can i get ipod nano to get the lock icon off the top left corner?

    Hey, my moms ipod nano won`t sync to her computer. Now it has a lock icon in the top left corner and i can`t get it to go away. Can anyone help me?

    I assume you have made sure the hold switch along the top of the Nano is set to Off?
    If none of the 5 R's are able to resolve the issue, it's likely a hardware issue, meaning you'll need to have the iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party service.

  • When i move my cursor to the top left corner of the screen, I am automatically logged off. Is it a software problem or is it a feature I can turn off?

    When i move my cursor to the top left corner of the screen, I am automatically logged off. Is it a software problem or is it a feature I can turn off?

    I don't think there is an option for logging off in the Hot Corners, but check Mission Control System Prefs, Hot Corners button. What is set in the top, left.

  • When I am abroad (living in Norway) the phone only temporarily  connects to a network. Most of the time is says "no service" in top left corner...I have tried to turn it on/off...with and without sim installed...roaming makes no diff. Can anyone help me?

    When I am abroad (living in Norway) the phone only temporarily (and seldom) connects to a network. Most of the time is says "no service" in top left corner...From advice I have tried to turn it on/off...with and without sim installed...roaming makes no diff. Can anyone help me?

    You're welcome.
    If she has full reception and connection with the same cell phone carrier where you don't - with you both using a SIM card provided by the same carrier while in Norway with an unlocked iPhone, then make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby to have a diagnostic test run on your iPhone.
    In the interim, I would contact this cell phone carrier in Norway to ensure your iPhone is provisioned properly. They can run a reset for your account that will require powering your iPhone off, so call them with your wife's iPhone for this.

  • Hi i was using safari one day and my ipod randomly shut off it will now not turn back on i tried hard resting and everything else when i plug the ipod into a charger it gets really hot in the left corner and itunes did not recognize

    hi i was using safari one day and my ipod randomly shut off it will now not turn back on i tried hard resting and everything else when i plug the ipod into a charger it gets really hot in the left corner and itunes did not recognize any help will be apreciated thank you

    Try placing the iPodin recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

  • My 4th gen ipod touch front glass is touching the Lcd on the left corner of the screen were the facetime app stands and it makes a smug, am I able to get that fixed?

    If you press on the left corner were the facetime app stand then it will make a smug while the glass is touching the LCD. The ipod touch is brand new with no cracks at all. Can I please get it fixed?

    No idea what"it will make a smug" means, but if you believe your ipod to be defective, then make an appointment at the genius bar.  If they determine it is defective, then they will repair/replace.

  • I want to know how to get the web addresses to go away that appear in the bottom left corner of the browser every time my mouse goes over a link

    Any time that my mouse goes over a link on a web page a little box in the bottom left corner of the browser pops up showing the web address for that link and it is really annoying, especially when i am on facebook because there are so many links on the home page i cant move my mouse anywhere without that box popping up and blocking part of my conversations. I was wondering if there was any way to turn this off. I've checked through the options and to my knowledge there is no way to turn it off. Just wondered if anyone else has had this problem or knew if there was a way to get that box to go away.

    Another option would be to use the following extension to push those messages into the status bar. It could be a convenient way to have your messages visible when you want them, but with less distraction.

  • What's the RIGHT way to draw an image in the upper left corner?

    I have an NSView in a ScrollView and I'm trying to draw an image in it. The problem is that I want the upper left corner of the image locked to the upper left corner of the frame, instead of the lower left corner, which is what the View wants me to do. I will need to be able to zoom in and out, and rotate.
    currently, I have a kludge of a system where I calculate how much I have to translate my image based on the size of the image and the size of the window. In order to do this, I needed to create an extra view outside the scrollview, so that I could get the size of the window, not including decorations. Then I can calculate the size of the view based on the size of the image and the size of the window, and based on THAT, I can figure out where to translate the image to.
    My only other thought was to use the isFlipped: method, but that ends up reversing my image L-R which is bad.
    Is there another way I should be doing this?
    thanks.

    Ah, the problem is that the content view includes the control panel, and while I'm sure I can get access to the control panel, and find out it's size, and then calculate everything off that, it becomes messy, and my way is easier, and no more messy.
    And I never said this was HARD. I have already DONE it. It's just ugly, and I'm wondering if there is a better way to do it. Translating between coordinate systems is normal, but changing lower left to upper left origin is an artifact of the Mac's history with PDF and PS.
    If the way I'm doing it is the accepted normal way, then fine, just tell me that.

  • FF 7.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.8: I sometimes get the "unresponsive script" dialog box in the top left corner of the screen, so far out that I can see only the bottom right corner of the dialog box. Is there any way of re-centring it?

    FF 7.0.1 on MacOSX 10.6.8 (not this machine!): I sometimes get the "unresponsive script" dialog box jammed into the top left corner of the screen so that only a quarter of it is visible.
    Is there a way of re-centring the dialog box (in particular, when its top edge is off the screen)?
    Thanks!

    There is no way to preserve view preferences.Just remember or annotate the zoom % used in the package.
    You may want to open an MS Connect item asking to add such a feature.
    I can tell you it may not be implemented because a package may be opened on different size monitors.

  • In the iDVD window, there is a box in the lower left corner.  When I scroll over it, I get the message to hide or show the intro movie.  Checking or unchecking the box seems to do nothing.  Can anyone explain?

    Working with iDVD on a project, there is a box in the lower left corner and sometimes another in the lower right corner.  Scrolling over the one in the lower left corner, I get a message indicating that this box hides or shows the intro movie.  I have checked and unchecked the box, but see nothing different in the project.  Nor can I figure out what is meant by "intro movie."  Can anyone explain?

    Go to iDVD Help and type in Intro Movie, and you will get the full version of this:
    Many iDVD themes have “motion menus” that include animations or video that loop, or play repeatedly, until the viewer clicks a menu button. Themes with motion menus have a motion icon in the lower-right corner.
    In addition to background video, iDVD motion menus may also feature an intro, or short animation, that plays once before the part that loops. Other motion menus also include an “outro” that plays after the viewer clicks a button, serving as a transition between the menu and the selected content.
    An example of an iDVD 6.0 theme with an intro and an outro is Reflection White Main. In this theme, the first drop zones appear in the intro, and the buttons and title appear just before the looping part of the background video. In the outro, everything flies offscreen after the viewer clicks a button.
    iDVD provides tools for viewing these motion menus without going into preview mode, which is especially helpful when you are filling drop zones, and for turning the intro or outro off.
    Here are ways to view and edit the background movie:
    ◼ 
    Drag the diamond-shaped motion playhead along the scrubber bar (shown below), to view the background movie, stopping wherever you like.
    (If you don’t see the motion playhead in iDVD, choose View > Show Motion Playhead.)
    ◼ 
    Deselect the checkboxes at the left and right end of the scrubber bar if you don’t want to use the intro or outro, respectively, in your DVD menu.
    The scrubber bar shows the intro and outro as shaded areas at the beginning and end.
    You can also control the intro and outro from the Menu Info window. With your pointer over the menu (and with no buttons or text objects selected), press Command-I to open that window. Select or deselect the Intro and Outro checkboxes in the Background section of the window.
    NOTE: If you drag your own movie to a motion menu background, the outro is automatically removed. To customize the background and keep the outro, use a still image in the menu background instead of a movie.
