I don't know if this is a problem
Hello I have alot of macbook pros in the past all 15" and I finally decided to get a 17" I love the computer and everything works great but a few quick questions I noticed the hinges are looser then the 15" models most likely because of he extra weight of the 17" screen if anyone would just clarify that like if you tilt the computer the screen will start to go down. Second question when I start up my computer the first screen i see it seems a little more dim or darker then what the main screen is i was wondering if everyone expirences that. And my last question is that the dvd drive on my 17" macbook pro is very quiet compared to my 15" models Is that better like when I turn on the computer the sound it makes to check the dvd dive isnt as loud thanks for the help guys.
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
As to the hinges, I have read about hinges being too loose and too tight. I understand they can be adjusted, and you might want to have yours looked at. I have to tilt my display nearly parallel with the ground before it will start to close.
Haven't really noticed the dimmer screen on startup, so can't say.
My MBP is absolutely silent.
Hope this helps!

With Yahoo Mail, and anotare account (Inacap Mail), I can only receive mails but I can't send emails. I don't know if this is a problem of the iPad or it is a problem with yahoo mail, because using Gmail and the email of my job I don' have this problem.
Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad. Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port. You may need to change in on the pad.

Bought 4th Gen 3TB TC - streaming TV over the internet is now so slow and now is constantly buffering. It seems the Airport Utility is always 'searching for new networks' - don't know if this is the problem. It's not the internet speed as checked that. I took my old router upstairs and was streaming TV via my ipad seamlessly - the same program via the TC was constantly buffering.
I just expected to be able to plug in the TC, so a simple set-up and experience wireless both upstairs and downstairs in my house. For some reason the range is low and speed veru disappointing.
I am far from being an IT expert but I would welcome advice about setting up this TC so we can enjoy the product as it was designed. Please HELP!No silver bullet........but my suggestions may drive you in the right direction.
1. Unplug the power cable from the TC and wait 10-15 minutes before powering back up. Seriously wait!
Proceed to #2 if this dosen't help.
2. Unplug the power cable from the TC, ubplug the power cable from your Broadband Modem (assuming it's a cable modem), disconnect ethernet, and cable from modem.
2a. Wait 10-15 minutes then re-connect cable, ethernet, and power back to modem (your modem should power up unless you have a power switch) wait for all the modem lights to come on EXCEPT activity.
2b. Connect ethernet from modem to TC, and plug in the power cable to TC.
Proceed to #3 if this dosen't help.
3. Reconfigure the TC.........Read here........http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3728
All really simple to do....if you need additional help let me (us) know. -
Hi, I'd like to set alarms or reminders on my I phone or I pad so that it can update or sync automatically with each other. I don't know if this is possible or how to do it. I hope you can help.
HI, if I did this, then I believe that I cloud would then hold my info which I don't want. Is that the case? The reason is that I'm an old git, therefore used to not giving out info. Would I be right?
Thank-You so much for taking the time to answer.

I'm trying to find out how to export my apple contacts to the Salesforce software and they need to be in a csv format and I don't know if this is possible and how to do it if it is?
I think there are third-party programs which will do that, but you can also do it with Automator:
See the links in my post, here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22390873#22390873
The file or clipboard contents will be in Tab Separated vars, so you'll have to open with a spreadsheet program and save as Comma Separated Vars format. -
Hi I purchased a game app for my daughter (6 years old ) littlest pet shop and been charged for 2 bills of £20.98 she doesn't know and I don't know how this has happened as it was a free app ?
Hi
Alot of free apps offer in app purchases which has probably happened here, things for extra points scores etc etc are offered for prices which is how the app can afford to be free via the charge in other purchases within the game.
These are the sorts on in app purchases in littlest pet shop may have been one of these?
If you are 100% sure that no purchse was made get in touch with apple they should be able to tell you what was purchased and when then you can take it from there?
Hope this helps -
I am trying to sync my iphone with a new itunes library. The iphone is askin for an 'exchange' password. I don't know what this is or where to find it.
Sounds like you do have an Exchange account setup on your phone. Have a Gmail or Hotmail account? They can both be setup as Exchange accounts. Have a work email account?

I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??
Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

nowadays have many user have problem with update to ios7 and need active with apple id maybe in the future in order escape from these problems must be stop use these products else. Because of simple user don't know about this technology and sometime just hear from other user that it 's difficult to use then force they change phone that use to handle to another.
It is a feature to discourage the theft of iPhones by making them useless if resold. It's not going anywhere. It's simple: just don't buy a phone until you make sure that the activation lock has been disabled.

Hello, alot of my space taken up on my ipod nano is listed under (other) I don't know what this is but it sure takes up most of the space on my ipod. Does anyone know what (Other) refers to and how to remove it.?Thx
Hello Norman,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. To find out what the Other section is on your iPod Nano, the following will explain what the Other section is all about.
Understanding capacity on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1867
Once that is complete, then check the appropriate sections to see what is there. If you cannot isolate the issue then you may need to restore the iPod Nano. The following will assist with the restore process.
