Left side ports aren't flush. Can I fix this myself?

I'm attempting to dock my 15" mbp into a newly aquired Henge Dock, but the left side ports (specifically the mini display port) aren't flush with the case. It's a matter of a millimeter or two. I was wondering if anyone could provide a tip on if I can fix this myself without voiding the warrenty, or if I can simply take it to an apple store to have it fixed.

No, you certainly can't fix it yourself without voiding your warranty, and it's unlikely that there's enough slop in the positioning of the screws that hold the logic board in place to permit an Apple technician to move the LB closer to the port end of the machine. You can ask, but don't be surprised if the answer is that it's up to the Henge Dock people to produce a product that mates properly with the MBP as delivered. I seriously doubt that there's any significant variation in the positioning of MBP logic boards within their cases.

My screen on my MacBook Pro blacks out constantly. If I press on the bottom left side of the MacBook, I can keep the screen on. I have been placing a small note pad to keep pressure on the bottom in order to keep the screen lit up.

You should try taking the battery out and putting it back in, but then if that doesn't work, you should take it into your Apple Retail Store and have a genius at the Genius Bar take a look. That seems like a hardware problem to me.

Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work. How can I fix this?

This isn't the first time something like this has happened but it has never stayed this way for such a long time. If I have to send it in for repairs I will but I'm not sure if its under warranty

To check for warranty coverage:

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

When you look at your iPhone, are you looking in the Music app or in the iTunes app? Be sure you are looking in the Music app, and look in the Songs category. If your songs are not here, you may want to try syncing your information again through iTunes. To do this, uncheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync in the bottom right corner of iTunes, and then recheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync again.
I hope this helps!

Last night I tried to sync my IPOD nano, and could not pull up the summary page. It would connect and charge the IPOD, but did not pop up as a "device" in the left column, so I could not click it and get to summary page and sync new music. Same laptop for a year, same IPOD, synced 3 days ago with no problem. Now all of a sudden, I can't sync. No message or other window pops up to tell me if something is wrong. How can I fix this?

It is highly unlikely that any iOS update could cause this.
Try a restore as new, if the problem persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

TS1424 My recent downloaded songs aren't playing all the way to the end. How can I fix this?

After I recently downloaded some songs from iTunes, some of them aren't playing all the way through. It stops and then moves to the next song even though time is still showing and the song isn't finished. This is happening just playing it on iTunes from my computer as well as on my iPod. How can I fix this?
