Missing Black Pieces on bottom of Laptop...?

I'm missing two of the little black rubber pieces on the bottom of my MacBook Pro and cannot find them. It is EXTREMELY annoying. Is there a way to buy more from Apple? I REALLY need them. it bothers me alot.

Same model year?
Call them and ask, I would think they would be the same, as why produce different feet for the same model year if you don't need too?
Seems like a waste to me.

Black bumper on bottom of macbook

The bottom of my 2010 macbook pro has 4 round black bumpers, and one is missing. How do I order a replacement?

Hello Ronald,
It sounds like you are missing one of the bottom case feet on your MacBook Pro. I found an article with steps to replace the feet on the MacBook Pro:
A MacBook Pro covered by the Apple Limited Warranty or by an AppleCare Protection Plan may receive a replacement foot without charge. A MacBook Pro that is out-of-warranty may have a charge associated with the replacement.
Note: For consumers, who are covered by consumer protection laws or regulations in their country of purchase or, if different, their country of residence, the benefits conferred by Apple's One Year Limited Warranty or by an AppleCare Protection Plan are in addition to all rights and remedies conveyed by such consumer protection laws and regulations, including but not limited to these additional rights.
You may choose between three options to receive a replacement bottom case foot:
Assisted service
Visit an Apple Retail Store. Set up an appointment with a Genius.
Visit an Apple Authorized Service Provider. Find one here.
Self service
Order a bottom case foot replacement DIY kit. Contact Apple.
If you decide to replace the feet yourself, the article also includes steps to guide you in doing this. You can find the full article here:

Can't secure Power on Ribbon Cable,nothing is broken,but can't slide the black piece into place-help

This is driving me crazy. Not just the power on ribbon, but also the touchpad as well. That LITTLE plastic black piece is not going in no matter WHAT I do....and I couldn't find any one else having this problem online anywhere. What am I missing? It fits just fine when the ribbon is not inserted, but once I do I can't fit it. I tried taping the ribbon down or just putting other items on top hoping it will securely touch the connectors, but nothing is working. Also using tweezers and screw drivers to try pressing it in to fit. Help please..computer works just fine as long as I'm holding the ribbon down with my finger, lol.

Hey maxm!
It sounds like we need to take care of that cabin fever you're having! I can help you out here!
I have attatched the two photos that I took today. A co-worker had a Thunderbolt, however, the screen was cracked. They are good pictures otherwise. I included a standard post it note pad next to the phone. I folded it in half and marked that as well. Hopefully that serves as a good frame of reference for measurement. Funny enough, I did not have any type of ruler available. I hope that helps you!
Now, in regards to your device itself, did you have insurance or was it still under warranty? Was there any damage to the phone (like the one I sent you *winks*)? If there is no damage and it's under warranty, you can call 800-922-0204 for a replacement. If it is damaged, you can file a claim online here http://bit.ly/07CrqPK.
Please let us know if this helped or if you need anything else. Thanks!

What's this black piece of foam on keyboard ribbon cable?

Today I upgrade my hard drive to 7200 RPM one.
When I tried to lift out the keyboard ribbon cable connector by tearing up the yellow piece of tape on top of the black foam thing on top of connector, the tape stick a portion of the black piece thing up.
https://www.getdropbox.com/gallery/45605/1/MAC?h=4868f5
Now everything is running fine, no matter with the keyboard or the system.
I'm just wondering what that piece of black foam thing is for?
Will that affect the keyboard in any way?
Please help me clear up this mystery.
Thanks

It's just packing to help space the ribbon and stop movement/disconnection of the ribbon under duress.

Photos missing, black thumbnails in iOS5

Here's the problem. I'm noticing that in my camera roll there are a bunch of all black thumbnails that should be actual images. If I try to open the black thumbnails, they are all black (i.e., the thumbnails aren't the only thing messed up). In addition, some of the thumbnails are grey images that look like they have a frame around them.
I've had the phone hooked up to iCloud and photo stream and have disconnected it from icloud and neither seems to make a difference. I can't figure out a pattern as to which pictures are missing. In addition, the missing pictures do not appear in photo stream either. They are just black thumbnails of pictures that apparently can't be retrieved. I also noticed that in my camera roll some of the thumbnails are out of sequential time order.
When I have photo stream on, there are no black thumbnails in it. Some of the black thumbnails (but not all) from the camera roll appear fine on my laptop. I have it connected to photostream to automatically sync new photos (windows 7). However, this doesn't account for all of the missing photos, which was my first theory.
It seems like there are a lot of people with similar problems, but I haven't heard it described this way and I can't figure out a pattern to when the images are missing.
Thanks for any help.

Had exact same issue on my wife's IPhone 4 IOS 5, had a back up of most of the photos and was only the last weeks that were "missing"? so was feeling brave and followed the steps in the below links and deleted the 3 files using iexplorer rebooted and it restored all the photos and rebuilt the thumbnails list.
hope it works for you as well.

Missing a protector on bottom

I'm missing one of the four small, black, circular stands on the bottom of the MacBook Pro that keep the bottom from being scratched. One day it just disappeared, and I looked everywhere for it. I want to know if anybody else has had this problem and if I can get an extra or replacement. Any info will be much appreciated.

Thin horizontal black line at BOTTOM of page when scan on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

I owned an HP Officejet Pro 8500 and scanning was perfect. I recently purchased an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus.
When I scan from the HP 8600 auto document feeder, I get a thin (several pixel wide) black line along the bottom edge of the resulting scan. This line will sometimes be slighly crooked or only appear across half the page, in which case it tends to get thicker toward the edge of the page). I believe this line is an artifact from scanning the very bottom edge of the oroginal document. I think it is showing where the bottom edge of the page was when scanned. If the document is a little skewed, then the black line at the bottom will be a little crooked, probably following the edge of the page. This problem is consistent, and repeatable. It happens in both "Scan To E-mail" mode and "Scan To Network Folder" mode.
When I scan from the flat bed, I get a very narrow black line along the very top edge of the resulting scan, but the bottom appears fine (although I've not tested this extensively).
These thin black lines did not occur when scanning from the HP 8500.
I am wondering if there is a setting to adjust this, or if it is a firmware difference between printers that needs debugging.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I find it interesting that the issue happens across both printers. This is what leads me to believe this is something with the software/connection with the PC. One thing I will note is that you mentioned above using Adobe Reader 10.1.6. The latest version of Adobe Reader is 11.0.02. I would advise removing your current version of Adobe Reader and install the latest version.
I am not sure if this will fix the issue as you mentioned the line comes across in jpeg and other scanning styles. Do you possibly have another PC you could try setting up a connection with quickly and attempting a scan? This would be another way to ensure if the issue is coming from the printer or a connection/software issue.
I would like to make sure the issue is coming from the scanners on these printers before returning the printers as I would hate for you to get another model printer and the issue remain with this printer as well. However, I will note that the Laserjet Pro 200 is a nice series printer from my experience. I have used the Laserjet Pro 200 black and white only edition, the MFP, and the TopShot edition where I am located.

Black bar at bottom ONLY with mpg

I sent a sequence to Media Encoder from Premiere CC 2014. It looks fine previewing it, but after it encodes as a .mpeg or .mpg, there is a black bar across the bottom quarter of the screen. It doesn't do it when I encode the same sequence as mp4.
Encoded as .mpeg:
Encoded as .mp4
The problem is that I need it to work as a .mpeg, so it will work on the TV in our lobby.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Looks like you have wrong pixel aspect ratio and or a Crop in the mpeg export settings.

Missing progess indication at bottom right of screen

I used to get a progress indicator at the bottom right of screen particularly when downloading something. It gave an indication of how the process in question was going.
It isn't there anymore. I think it disappeared when I downloaded the last Firefox update.
How can I reinstate it?
Thanks,
Peter

Looks like some other people missed that progress bar, too. I see two add-ons to get it back. I haven't tried either of these myself.

Black strip at bottom of display (retina)

Hi all,
Just out of curiosity, does anyone else have some "give" in the black plastic strip at the bottom the display on their Macbook Pro Retina? I only notice because as I took it out of the box (obviously whilst the MacBook was closed), I could feel it move a tiny bit. If it isnt supposed to be like that, is it just a case of Apple securing it? I dont really want to go through the hassle of having a new display or god forbid, new unit entirely.
Chris

All parts of the computer should fit tight and neat except keyboard keys and trackpad.
You can return a new Mac within 14 days of purchase.
A new Mac is in warranty for 1 year from the date of purchase.
A new Mac comes with 90 days of free tech support from AppleCare.
