gap on right side a little bigger than left when closed...anyone else have this problem....2011 macbook pro

If you sell it to someone, and you take twenty minutes pointing out that "gaping flaw!", they buyer will just say "Cool, a Mac!", pay you the money, and ignore your "gaping fault".
You might want to do that, and use the proceeds to buy another that will not have the "gaping flaw".
Please stop posting whether you keep it or sell it.

If it's a thin 1 pixel wide vertical line it's highly likely it could be caused by a defective LCD.
One quick basic way to check is to note the position of the line. Then go to System Preferences, Displays, and lower the resolution. If ther line moves it's on the video and the logic board or video card if fitted is likely to be defective. If the line stays in the same position it's likely to be an LCD fault. Either way to have it repaired you'll need to visit an Apple store or AASP.
The worst offender for this problem is the Late 2006 17" iMac. FOC replacement of the LCD used to be covered by a quality program, but it's now ended.

Two noise from right side when open the mbp

Every time when I open the laptop, there are two sound like zi zi from right side of it, before the opening music, it sounds like reading the disc, is there something wrong with the computer?

No. The OS, when the MBP is started does a diagnostics check, testing the optical drive as a part of same. That is the sound and it is normal.
Ciao.

Subtle knocking sound coming from right side of MacBook

Since a few weeks my MacBook makes a very subtle but hearable knocking noise coming in irregular intervals from the right side (I put my ear on the MacBopk and waited). Coincidentally I did two things around the time the noise started: I bought a new hard drive (Western Digital Scorpio, 2.5", 8MB Cache, 250GB) and installed Leopard. Since the sound definitely comes from the right side it can't be hard drive related. According to Disk Utility the hard drive seems to be okay too.
Since the only component with moving parts is the optical drive I suspect that this might be the source of the noise. The problem is, that it's not reproducable and only occours irregularly. Plus every disk I insert plays fine (there was one incident with a DVD of "Lost" which went to pause every minute or so without pressing any button though).
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks for your answer, impulse_telecom. Unfortunately I really can't tell these operations apart (especially since this noise comes and goes without any special action ...) so I don't really know what the drive is doing when it's making the noise. The (relatively) good news is that it's been making this noise for about a month now and I haven't noticed any data loss or read/write errors. But it could also be that since my hard drive is 250GB it might take a while for these errors to pop up. Since Leopard my boot caches had to be updated twice (never saw that under Tiger) when rebooting and I don't really know if that's a good thing and/or related to this.
I'll try and record the noise today and post it.
(I wanted to mark your comment as helpful too but there seems to be a limit per thread/day ... sorry).

On start all of the folders on the desktop are moved to the right side of the screen and jumbled together, not as I had them organized on the left side of the screen. OS X v10.6.8

sometimes on start all of the folders on the desktop are moved alphabetically to the right side of the screen, not as I had them organized on the screen before. also sometimes my folders when opened, move and resize themselves too...

Start with one of these:

Right side of a shuttle - Retunr id and not the display value of the LOV.

Hi all,
The matter is how to populate/persist right-side of Shuttle in apex 4.0.1 after submit. The only problem I have is that the values
on the right side of the shuttle are dispayed as (retun value of the LOV) and not as (dislay valueo of the LOV). What I'm missing.
There is a way to pre-load dynamically, so depending on a query, a set of values on the right of the Shuttle, and then allow end user to change the preselection adding or removing values.?.

On page load you need to set the page item value to a colon separated list. Basically just reverse what ever processing you are doing on submit.

Anyone else have uneven lid when macbook is closed???

when i close my macbook the is raised a tad more on the right side than the left.....it is raised maybe a millimeter more than the left side....anyone else have this probelm and know how to fix it??

I would however, plan on buying AppleCare before the year runs out.
AppleCare is something many people buy, even if they never have a problem with that unit or any units in the past.
I am not trying to scare you into thinking it will break. Just saying that the $350 is something *I* plan on buying even though I hve seen no problems with mine. I just consider it a form of "insurance against manufacturing defects for 2 additional years".

Why is the "answer" button on iphone on the right side when you "slide to answer" from left to right to answer?

I have rejected a few calls because of my habit to start on the left side not realizing an app or my home screen was open. This seems like a simple oversight I was hoping to see fixed in 7.0.

All bookmarks used to appear in a dropdown on the right side of Bookmark Toolbar, now they do not

All my bookmarks used to appear in a drop down automatically from an icon at the right end of the Bookmark Toolbar. These were not just the additional toolbar bookmarks, but all the bookmarks as you'd get from going to Bookmarks in the menu bar. Now all I have is the star that opens all bookmarks on the left of the screen. How do I get back the more convenient auto drop down on the right?
Thanks

You only see the Bookmarks Menu button on the Bookmarks Toolbar if the menu bar is hidden.

I attempt to open a second window from the icon but it does not open then when firefox is closed it will not reopen because it is still running in processes but no window displayed until you kill the process and then restart firefox.

I attempted to open a new window from the Firefox icon but nothing happens. I then went on browsing and closed Firefox but was later unable to open it. I checked processes and it was already running but there was no window displayed. I am running Windows 7 Professional.
This is repeated any time I already have the browser open and wish to open a second instance.

Override Airport Shut down when MacBook is closed

I am very new to Macs and their operation which is frustrating to say the least considering the fact that I am an IT person specializing in Windows based environments.
Anyway is there a way to keep an active LAN connection via Airport when a MacBook Pro is closed but still powered on? I've looked every where but cant seem to find a way to override this setting.
In other words I would like to be able to close my MacBook but not have it "go to sleep" or shut down the airport which in turns terminated all active internet and remote desktop connections.
Thanks,
Mike

When you close the lid on an MBP it goes to sleep by default. There is nothing left running to maintain the internet connection. PC laptops work the same way.
There is a "clamshell" mode when an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse are connected that may be what you are looking for.

Using iTunes when MacBook is closed

okay, so basically I wanna know if anyone found a way to keep iTunes playing when you close the MacBook. I know for myself, I like to listen to music while studying but don't want my laptop open or it'll distract me. Any suggestions for keeping iTunes playing?

Some random ideas:
1. Turn off the display altogether, or put it to sleep (System Preferences, Energy Saver), leaving lid up
2. Plug in computer, set up to operate in clamshell mode, and turn of external display
3. Use an iPod

When macbook air restarts, it does not require the password for the admin

I set up parental controls on son's Mac boolk air, but anytime it is restarted, it defaults to the admin account without haveing to enter pasword. So basically, pointless to have controls if he can just use admin account.

A. He can't use the admin account unless you gave him the password.
B. He cannot access the admin account on startup unless you are using automatic login on the admin account.
Turn off Automatic Login in Users & Groups under Login Items. Start using a new password on your admin account and keep it secret.
