Loud Click when I press the right half of my trackpad mouse button

Hello,
I have been using a macbook for the past year, and just recently I get a very load metal on metal click or crunching noise when I press the right side of my trackpad mouse button. I have removed the battery and looked behind to see the trackpad assembly and when I press on the corresponding side of the assembly it also make the same clack or click or bad noise. When I do the same to the opposite side there is no noise. My guess is that there is a spring on that side that has come undone, am I right? If so how do I fix it? I bought my laptop in the US, but right now and for the next few months I am living in Norway (no apple stores) is there a place where I can bring it to in order to get warrentied service? Will apple mail me the part? It ought to be fairly easy to fix. Thanks

I also had a trackpad 'click' problem ...my complete topcase had to be replaced. Although there may not be an 'Apple Store' in Norway, I'm sure there are Apple certified dealers there that can complete the repair. Here's a list of contact numbers...

The repair itself (top case) should only take a few hours.

  • Nothing happens when I press the right button on the desktop

    Hello,
    I installed Windows 8.1 on my laptop a few months ago and since then it's  been working quite well. But lately there's one thing that has been bothering me - whenever I try to open the desktop menu by pressing the right button of my touchpad, nothing
    will happen. It seems that it's loading, but in fact it never really loads. I consider this an inconvenience and would be glad if you find the time to answer me.

    Hi Maria,
    Could you make sure your touchpad is without problem?
    First of all, I suggest you go to touchpad manufacturer's website to get the latest driver of your model for Windows 8.1.
    If it's not helpful, you may have an incompatible Shell Extension installed.
    I suggest you download and run Shell Extensions Viewer, with which you can see what's installed, and even methodically disable the 3rd party shell extensions (logging off and on again before testing).

  • I do not have the pages icon on the bottom right of Safari ios 7. When I press the plus sign at the top right I see 'private' on the bottom left side but there are no buttons on the bottom right at all. I am trying to get Safari to have the tab Rolodex

    I am super frustrated with Safari in ios 7.   I do not have the pages icon on the bottom right of Safari ios 7. When I press the plus sign at the top right I see 'private' on the bottom left side but there are no buttons on the bottom right at all. I am trying to get Safari to have the tab Rolodex look of the tabbed windows. So I can see the pages. Hope this is making sense.  Why am I not seeing the pages button on the bottom right of Safari?
    Thanks!

    Bummer!  Hopefully this will change in the future.  At least I know now that I am not crazy for not seeing the pages icon!  Thanks so much :)

  • When I compose an email it flies up the screen when I press the shift key. I've clicked default settings on Keyboard in Preferences but it has made no difference.  It has only just started happening.

    When I compose an email it flies up the screen when I press the shift key and then comes back again. I've clicked default settings on Keyboard in Preferences but it has made no difference.  It has only just started happening.  Any ideas?

    This problem has also been plaguing me today. Here are my specifics and how I solved it (Expanding on what Quentin Holmes mentioned)
    CONFIRMED WORK AROUND! The .m4v file gets created while encoding, but Adobe Media Encoder does not re-pack it back into the .mp4 unless you select the "Export Audio" in Adobe Premier export prior to queuing. If you don't want audio, mute the individual tracks and still export audio.
    My details:
    Just bought a GH4, shooting 4k 25fps MOV, trying to simply trim a few clips and export them as H.264 .mp4 with no audio. (By the way it would be nice if we could export 4k .MOV files from the camera back into .MOV once finished editing, but in premier that frame resolution is not supported)
    Specs: Mac Mini, Quad Core i7, 16GB Ram, OSX 10.9.4, Adobe Premier Pro CS6 6.0.5, Adobe Media Encoder 6.0.2.81
    Hope that helps anyone with the same prob

  • Clicking sound when I press the top of screen near the front camera.

    I bought an iphone 6 plus 3 weeks ago and after I used 7days, I found when I press the top of screen, I can hear something like clicking. Then I contact Apple and sent it back. After 1 week, they returned it back and said there was no problem. After I received it, I didn't even activate it, just pressed, the sound was back. Not only this, they made a deep scratch on the left top of back. I was so angry and I contacted them again and took a video. They told me to send it to apple support again. And today, they emailed me, said this is a normal behavior for iphone 6 and 6 plus, I will receive it tomorrow. It really xxxxed me. What can I do now? No way to express replacement, no way to repair. Please help me out, guys!!!!!

    It is hard to tell from your description if you have a real defect. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your local Apple store and discuss/show it to them.

  • HT5858 When I press the app store app on my ipad

    When I press the app store app on my ipad, one of my previous purchases appears in the middle of the page.  I can't remove it so I can purchase more apps.  What do I need to do?

    Is there an "X" in the top left (or top right) corner of the previous purchase display?  If so, click it.
    If not, try stopping the App Store App by double clicking the home button, find the App Store in the resulting display, and swipe the icon above the App Store icon toward the top of the screen.  Then click the home button to end that display and enter the App Store again.

    Hello linaka21,
    Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes Store.
    The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the iTunes Store, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    You can find the full article here:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:
