Gap separation between grey plastic and white plastic

Hey
Im a new user to apple, i just received my white macbook about a week ago from the online store. Around about the third day i realized there were some little gaps between the grey and white plastic. They seemed to be pretty harmless. however, since then ive been noticing them in different spots around my computer. I dont really feel like sending it in and all, such a hassle. Is this serious? I was able to lift a bit the right side with my nail, put a tiny piece of double-sided tape so it would stay in place, seems to be doing okay, but will it get worse and worse all around my laptop? Could it eventually come right off, the gray plastic that is??? Help!!!

That plastic clips in around most of your computer. There are small clips that hold it in place and it is actually attached to your keyboard. In other places on your computer that plastic is attached to metal and the metal is screwed into the frame of the computer, I guess it all depends on where your talking about.
If it is pulling up in a few spots I would call into AppleCare and let them know, perhaps some clips are missing or broken. If they are broken you don't want plastic chips floating around inside of your computer.

Any Suggest about this issue on console:
mdworker[600]: No separator between the header and body in message <_CMFMemoryMessage: 0x7f8665118800>
Best Regards

Thanks very much. It's turned out to be a font problem. About 30 of the fonts in my account directory /users/me/library/fonts folder were corrupted. They were somehow being viewed as unix executable files instead of font suitcases. !??! No idea what happened there.
I used Pacifist to reload fonts from my OSX installation disc, but this didn't seem to help. Instead, I found other copies of most of the corrupted fonts in the microsoft office/office/fonts folder, and replaced the corrupted fonts in my home library w/ those.
I was alerted to the fact the the problem was fonts when I tried to open an Excel file; it came back with messages that these various fonts were corrupted and needed to be removed. Strangely, though the corrupted fonts were in my home directory font folder and not the MS Office font folder, Excel was tripping up - i.e., it wasn't using the fonts from the Office folder. Hmm.
Finally, there are still a few fonts that are corrupted, and whose source is a mystery to me. They didn't come from the OS installation disc and they don't come from Office; consequently, I can't fix them. They are: Geneva CE, Geneva CY, GrCourier and N Helvitica Narrow.
Does anyone know where these fonts come from?

Separator between the left and right pane.

The WebHelp generated has a separator (used for resizing)
that divides the left pane (TOC) from the right pane (main
content). This separator has a border and hence is displayed as a
thick gray raised line. I would like for the separator NOT to be a
border and thus it will show up as a thin gray line.
The way to do this is to specify frameborder = "0" in the
<frame> tag for the right pane. However, if I change this in
my Start page (after generation), this frameborder = "0" is just
not getting applied. Can someone tell me what I am missing?
Thanks,
K

I modified the .skn file to change the frameborder = "0" for
the instance of <frame> with cols. This did reduce the
separator, but not quite.
If you look at the Default skin, I want the thickness for the
separator between the left pane (TOC) from the right pane (main
content) to be the same as the separator between the search box and
the results below. Am I making sense?
Thanks,
K

Gaps between aluminium casing and back plastic cover

Hi Guyz
Can anbody tell me if it is worth stressing about the gaps that i am seeing on my 1 week old phone.Will it still be waterproof?
Also i play a lot of games and the phone heats up but not unbearably hot,is it worth replacing plastic for a glass cover?

A number have reported gaps but when they return to the place of purchase and compare they find that this is normal however if you do feel concerned and want to put your mind at rest then visit a store to compare - As for heat then this is normal especially when playing games or using apps that are high in cpu and power usage

Ipod won't turn on, flashes between apple logo and white screen

Our ipod touch won't turn on, it has been charged, but doesn't register anything on the screen. All that happens is it flashes between the apple logo and a white screen. My son says it's not been dropped/wet etc. Any suggestions?
THanks!

Tried it, it still shows the apple logo. While holding home and power it flashed to a back screen then the apple logo popped back up....

Screen difference between black iPad and white iPad?

I have a black iPad 3 which I bought about 3 weeks ago. My mum has a white one which she got a couple of days later.
Now I never noticed till today but the screens seem slightly different. I can't exactly pinpoint why, but sometimes the white looks sharper, ever so slightly, and the whites seem more white than on mine. Mine appear to be more of a dull white, but am not sure.
Could this be the case, or is it just because the bezel makes it appear different?

Whether there's any actual difference is impossible to say since we can't see your iPads. I can assure you that the only intended difference is the color of the casing. If you believe your screen is off, take it an Apple Store or Apple dealer and compare with their demo units. Note that the backlight level will affect how the screen looks, so that may account for at least part of any difference.
Regards.

Separation between screen glass and aluminium base

My new i5 iMac has a slight sepearation between the glass surrounding the screen and the aluminium base at the bottom. It's wide enough to fit my fingernail in. Is there a way to fix this/should I be worried about it?

Eric,
Taking it back to the store would be...quite the experience as I live where I'd be using public transit. Apart from any aesthetic issues, the machine should be completely functional, no?

What is the difference between the Beige and the White and Blue?

I am trying to convince my Granny that Macs are better than windows. Well, she and I LOVE computers! She started me on the computer ever since I was old enough to sit in her lap and pound the keys( at the age of two I could run a computer blind folded). At her house she is running a brand new Dell. And she is having problems with it already. And the second computer at her house is the one that I use (I HAVE to share with my little sister). *Personaly at home I run a iMac G5 (iSight)* Well, the one at my Grannys that I use crashed. So my Granny asked me what computer I wanted to replace it. At this point I had the biggest grin on my face. She new I wanted something expensive. I wanted another iMac for at her house also. She then said to keep it fairly cheap. So I went to www.macsofalltrades.com and she ordered me a PowerMac G3 (blue and white) for only 125 dollars. I want to know what the difference is between the blue and white and the beige.
Thanks

Eustace has provided great practical buying advice.
Architecturally:
The Blue & White has a 100 MHz Bus where the beige has a 66 MHz Bus. B&W takes faster memories, and up to 1 GB total.
B&W generally offers faster processors: 350, 400, 450, and ad-ons at higher speeds.
B&W has more and wider PCI slots, but total throughput appears to peak at about 53 MB/sec.
B&W has no built-in display card, but shipped with a good one with 16 MB display memory in the top (faster) PCI slot.
Beige has two serial ports, B&W has no serial ports, no LocalTalk, but does have a slot for a modem.
Beige has a floppy drive, but Mac OS X dropped support for it. B&W has no floppy drive.
B&W claims to support larger and faster hard drives, but the Rev 1 can become flaky if its original 4, 6, or 8 GB drive is replaced with a faster one. Some Users have resorted to a PCI slot Drive Controller card.
B&W has USB, but some users find it does not work well with devices faster than a mouse, and end up replacing it with a PCI slot card.
B&W has fireWire, but some users find it does not work right for external Hard drives, and end up adding a PCI Card to replace it.
If you edit photos, videos, or sound, you will need a G4 with its number-crunching ability.
When you write all that down, it does not make the [Rev1 anyway] Blue & White seem like a good Mac to buy.

Cutting for black and white photo.

I am VERY new to this elements 6.0 . I am trying to convert color photo of a face but want to keep the eyes blue but can replace only one eye in the photo. Can anyone help me!!!!! Please!!!

Christa,
It's not really clear what you are trying to do. I'm guessing you want to convert a color picture to black & white but retain the color eyes. If so, here is one way:
1. Add a Hue/Saturation layer and move the Saturation slider all the way left to remove all color.
2. Set the foreground/background colors to their default black & white values.
3. Zoom way in to enlarge the eyes. With the Brush tool paint with black to reveal the color, with white to remove excess color. Type "x" to toggle between the black and white.

If that is not what you want to do, please explain further and what steps you took that you could do only one eye.

Z10 Screen goes blank, when restarted now rotates between blackberry screen and blue loading screen

Last week I was having issues with my blackberry where the screen was going blank and I had to restart the phone. I had recently installed a software update and so when I took it into Telus the guy explained that the sotware may not hae installed correctly so he walked me through the blackberry restore steps via blakcberry link. So I did restore my blackberry.
But a couple days later, it's back to its old tricks - the screen just goes black and I have to restart it. The trouble it is won't currently restart. At the moment it is rotating between the black and white "Blackberry" screen and the blue loading screen.
Was I unlucky enough to have the software install incorrectly both times, or is there something else going on?

Blue loading screen? That is hardly known to be a "loading screen".... does the device get out of the blue screen by itself or you have to intervene?

How can I find Lion to download it to my Mac Boook/ It is the white plastic model and is now running Snow Leopard. It has 4 GB of Ram but this computer is not compatible with MOuntain Lion. I cannot find Lion anywhere.

How can I find Lion to download it to my Mac Book? It has Snow Leopard and 4GB RAM but it the white plastic model and is not compatible with Mountain Lion. I have been told by the Genius Bar that it will handle Lion.

That underpowered model is better left on 10.6.8 for performance reasons, also the fact that it's dated and 10.7 will likely require you to buy alll new software to replace the PPC based software your currently using.
If you insist, then call Apple via phone and they will sell you 10.7 Lion and provide a link to download it.
My 2¢ is to save up for a new machine, as that one is about to kick the bucket, they only last about 4.5 years or so depending upon use/enviroment.
If your having problems with 10.6.8, perhaps some of the links here can assist, 10.6 is faster than 10.7 in fresh install tests.

Until I installed the SMC FanControl application my screen would "break up" into strange patterns and then would eventually freeze. Please help.

If you are trying to upgrade using a gray-faced OS X disk from another system, that won't work, as those disks are locked to the system types they are delivered with. You'll need to drop the $29 on a retail copy of Snow Leopard, which is available from the Apple online store. Note Snow Leopard requires 1GB minimum, and you may want at least 2GB for better performance.

The plastic hinge between my screen and the computer (macbook pro retina) is cracked and doesn't hold the screen anymore? Can Apple change it?

The hinge between my screen and my computer (macbook pro retina) has cracked and doesn't hold the screen anymore. Can I fix it without changing my screen. And if it's still on guarantee does Apple have to repair it?

Apple can fix any and all of their computers. Whether it would be charged to you would be the question. Do you have AppleCare?

Thin white line between line art and live paint fill?

I am using live paint to paint cartoon character illustrations. The artwork is brought into Illustrator CS3 and live traced. Then I convert it to a live paint group and use the paint bucket to fill. Everything looks fine no matter how much I zoom in. If I bring the AI file into Photoshop CS6 I can see a thin white line between the black line art and the fill. This is most noticeable where black meets black. I can also see this sometimes in file previews while browsing through files. If the white line cannot be seen in Illustrator is the file ok? I did just upgrade to CS6 if that would make a difference.
Thank you for any help.

If the white line cannot be seen in Illustrator is the file ok?
Without knowing specifics,nobody knows.
"Okay" for what?
If it looks okay to you in Illustrator, then it's okay for viewing in Illustrator.
If the export of it does not look okay in Photoshop at 1:1 or higher zoom, then it's probably not okay for whatever you're going to do with that raster image.
If it's printed to a low-res composite printer, then it may be okay, because the printer may not be able to resolve the whitish pixels.
If it's printed for commercial (color-separated) reproduction, it may not be okay, depending on the scale at which it will be printed, and on other considerations partially described below.
The autotrace routine does not build traps. Typically, when you color-fill cartoon line art manually, you don't make the shapes that define the fills merely "kiss" the black line work, as would the default treatments of a stupid autotrace. The black line work typically overprints the fills, thereby creating printing traps.
Suppose a portion of your cartoon is a hand-drawn closed circle. The black line work is irregular; it varies in width, having been drawn with a marker or a brush. The circle is colored in with a medium green. There are no sloppy gaps in the original between the green and the black.
You scan it and autotrace it. Unless you apply some deliberate care to make it do otherwise, the autotrace is going to create a compound path, filled with black, and with no stroke; and a green simple path which (hopefully) exactly "kisses" (abuts) the black path. Adobe's on-screen antialiasing of the edge where the two colors abut may or may not cause your monitor to display a faint whitish or grayish sliver between the two colors.
Similarly, Photoshop's rasterization of it, or the rasterization of a raster export filter may do the same, and may actually result in some off-color pixels along the edge. (Your description of the scenario kinda raises the question of why you are auto-tracing something that you're then just going to rasterize in Photoshop anyway. Why do that? Why not just work with the scan in Photoshop?.)
So let's leave Photoshop out of the picture and assume you are autotracing it because you want vector artwork. You zoom way in to see if the whitish sliver enlarges. It doesn't, so you assume it's just an aberation of Illustrator's on-screen antialising. And then someone tells you you're in the clear. But are you? Not so fast.
Let's assume the artwork is destined for commercial (color-separated) printing. Further assume the color of the autotraced black is 100% K, and the color of the autotraced green is 100Y 50C. Three inks involved. None of those three inks are shared between the two objects. So even if the paths do, in fact, perfectly abut, there is no "wiggle room" built in for the minor alignment shifts that almost aways do occur on press.
Bottom line: Even if you do determine that the common antialiasing aberations that frequently occur on-screen in Adobe apps is just that—just an onscreen aberation, that does not necessarily mean your file is suitable for commercial color-separated reproduction.
First, you need to understand that autotracing is not the one-click, instant "conversion" of a raster image to vector artwork that far too many think it to be. Just like everything else, you don't just launch a program like Illustrator, start autotracing things willy-nilly without understanding what's really going on. Just like anyting else, you can use an autotrace feature intelligently or...well...not.
You have options. Illustrator provides an auto-trapping feature. Read up on it in the documentation so you understand what it's all about. Alternatively, you can expand the results of your autotrace, select all the black linework and apply a composite color that includes 100% K and reasonable percentages of C, M, and Y (a so-called "rich black"). Or,depending on the artwork and the desired results, you may consider doing the autotrace as centerlines so you have stroked paths, not just filled paths for the linework. That way, using the flood fill (so called LivePaint) will cause the auto-created fill objects to extend to the paths, not just to the edges of their strokes. Then set the linework to overprint.
At any rate, if you are doing this professionally, you need to read up on the principles and practices of trapping and color separation.

Little white plastic stand thingy what u get in box ???? how to put it on

Hi all, when I bought my ipod touch 32gig on Tueeday there was a little plassic stand thingy in the plassic box case, what's it for & how do you put it on? i've been trying to figure it out for days lol

Thanks for that, I've been wondering what it was for from opening the plastic box up as it doesn't tell you in the quick start guide, yup it's a little white plastic thing with 2 clips at the bottom & a hole in the middle of it with a grey piece of plastic sticking out with a number 16 on the grey platic thing lol,All I got in the plastic box with mine was that & the cleaning cloth, Usb Charger, Ipod Touch & the quick start Guide (didn't get anything else like the last poster said) So If I get a speaker system what say's IPOD on it, I'll be able to use my Touch with the dock connecter insert ? and does the speaker system have to support Ipod Touch or can I use any for Ipod with the dock insert thx
