Monitor and face scuffs

I have noticed that my brand new Macbook Pro (15inch) has started to develop a mark on the glossy screen where it apparently contacts the keyboard while closed. Also just below the track pad there is a blackish line that has showed up that does not readily come off. This matches the the point where the top of the monitor makes contact with the computer near the slots that secure the monitor when closed. Is there any remedy for this? Is this a problem with the alignment of my display? Or simply normal wear and tear? Any suggestions on how to prevent further damage? I hate to drop so much on a laptop only to have it get all marred up with simple day to day use! It did this right out of the box, and is not the result of rough handling. This thing mostly sits in my den (open to prevent furhter damage).
Thanks.

If you still have it you can use the white insert that your MacBook Pro came with. Then, I would suggest you go get yourself a microfibre keyboard/screen protector like a RadTech ScreenSavrz…

  • Using 27 monitor for face time

    How do I use my macbook pro and my 27 iinch apple monitor with face time.

    Hey there trukman,
    It sounds like you are using a TV as a monitor for your Mac mini, and need to know about attaching a camera to it for use with FaceTime. Here is some info about using an external camera:
    FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime
    A built-in FaceTime camera, an iSight camera (built-in or external), a USB video class (UVC) camera, or a FireWire DV camcorder.
    Making HD video calls requires a built-in FaceTime HD camera and a 1-Mbps upstream and downstream Internet connection.
    Receiving HD video calls requires a supported Intel-based Mac. For a complete list, see this article.
    A microphone.
    You can use a built-in microphone, or connect an external microphone to your computer’s audio input port.
    You can use compatible Bluetooth or USB microphone or headsets.
    If you have multiple cameras or microphones attached to your computer, use the Video menu to select the camera or microphone you wish to use with FaceTime for Mac.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • I have a MBPro mid 2013 with 1 Thunderbolt port. Just bought a Mac monitor and want to daisy chain a PC monitor to it. Use a Mini DVI to VGA adapter from MBP to PC monitor. How do I daisy chain the 2 monitors?

    Hall Palm Desert,
    if your Mac monitor has Thunderbolt ports, and the PC monitor is on the end of the daisy chain, then you might be able to do it by connecting your PC monitor’s VGA cable to a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter (e.g. Apple, NewerTech), connecting that cable’s Mini DisplayPort end to one of the Mac monitor’s Thunderbolt ports, and then connecting a Thunderbolt cable between the other port on the Mac monitor and your MacBook Pro.

  • What is difference between ADF Task Flow and Faces-Config - when delpoy ?

    What is difference between ADF Task Flow and Faces-Config? When I create navigation between pages with ADF task flow then the navigation don't work when I deploy my application to Weblogic 10.3. When I use default server then navigation works fine. With Faces_config in both situations all works ok - on Stanalone server and default.
    Where is the problem?
    Best regards!

    Shay, I don't use both faces-config and adf task flow! When I failed with task flow I tried faces-config.
    I have active on my weblogic - adf.oracle.domain(1.0,11.1.1.0.0). This is the right ADF? If yes then where is the problem?
    Best regards!

  • Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant.  I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use.  Does anyone have a solution?

    Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant.  I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use.  Does anyone have a solution?  Or is Apple's implementation of HDCP (if it's there) incomplete?

    I am having this same issue. Im not sure if this is the cause but I think this is keeping PowerDVD Ultra 11 from playing back Bluray under Windows 7 / Bootcamp

  • How to connect my MacBook to a monitor and TV at the same time? I have a thunderbolt, what else do I need?

    I have an ASUS monitor and a SONY TV set. I have 2 HDMI cables, one for the TV and one for the monitor. I also have a Thunderbolt for my Mac and I have HDMI Pigtail Switch with 3 ports. For some reason when I connect the Pigtail Switch to the Thunderbolt and the 2 HDMIs to the Pigtail nothing happens. Anyone knows the answer?

    Sounds like you're using a POP mail account.
    You should get an IMAP account. such as the free one you get with iClourd.

    This could be problematic.
    It will depend on what model of iMac you have.
    You may want to post machine info.
    blue apple > about this mac > more info button. Click on the hardware line. It has a little triangle in front of the work hardware.
    Leave out the serial number.
    Example:
    Machine Name: iMac
    Machine Model: PowerMac4,1
    CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (33.11)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 600 MHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
    Memory: 768 MB
    Bus Speed: 100 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.1.9f1
    Most of the iMac's have sometype of video output port on the back.  You will problably need a converter.
    The 'hollywood' industry has been making it more difficult to get video out over time to prevent copying.

  • MacBook Pro performance issues w/2nd monitor and FCP7

    I have this MacBook Pro bought brand-new in January 2010:
      Model Name: MacBook Pro

    and until today had never attached a second monitor to it. Today I hooked up my Samsung 24" to do some dual screen editing in Final Cut 7.0.3. I was unable to play back my video at full speed in the second monitor, and after a few seconds of skippy playback I'd get that error message about unable to play back video at full speed and to check my RT settings. I was using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. My computer has no issues playing the video in the laptop's monitor at any resolution and any quality settings (I've never changed the RT settings or anything else in the menu ever but I tried every combination this time). I then tried using my TV as a 2nd monitor with an HDMI adapter. Same performance issues. I then tried my friend's newer 13" MBP 8,1 and it performed flawlessly with the same project & footage. I feel like my $3,000 computer should outperform a $1,200 one even if mine is a year and a half older. Any advice?

    Wow, you posted this perfectly to coincide with an identical problem, albeit using Logic Pro 9.1.5 rather than FCP.
    Last week, I purchased a 23" external monitor to use alongside my "flagship" 2011 15" hi-res, 2.3 i7 Macbook Pro with 8Gb of RAM.
    It is connected via a mini-DVI to D-sub analog (not that that should matter?) and all appeared fine.
    The first issue I had was with my MBP's fan now running CONSTANTLY, when I have the second monitor attached. Even when the machine is completely idle.
    When using the machine to record audio, this is a fairly hefty problem and not something I had anticipated - indeed why would I anticipate such a thing?
    What is far, far worse though is that over the last few days I have had repeated problems with performance drop-outs and errors in Logic and I have trying to fathom out why. Realising that the only major system change made, was the above monitor connection, I ran some tests.
    I restarted my MBP, no other apps were running and with my new 23" monitor attached acting as main display with MBP built in display on as secondary
    I loaded up a fairly demanding Logic project which was hitting 40% to 60% CPU usage when using the built in MBP display last week
    I ran activity monitor and had CPU usage history open
    The above project now repeatedly overloads and playback halts in a given 8 bar section - with CPU at 80% most of the time
    I disconnected the external display, no shut down, I just let the machine switch to the built in 15".
    Started the same project, the same 8 bar section and hey presto - CPU usage back down to 40% to 60%
    The above was reflected in the CPU usage history with the graph showing CPU use down by about a half, when running this Logic project WITHOUT the external display.
    There is a very useful benchmark Logic project that has been used as a test by many users to gauge Logic performance on given Apple hardware.
    The project has about 100 tracks pre-configured with CPU intensive plugins, designed to tax the CPU.
    The idea is that you load up the project with tracks muted, press play and then unmute the tracks steadily until Logic us unable to play contiunously because of a system performance error.
    On my MBP, with the external monitor NOT attached, I can play back around 50 of the audio tracks in this benchmark project.
    With the monitor attached, I can get about 22 tracks playing.... which is actually a far worse a performance drop (-50% I think!?) than with the first example!
    I did also try with just the external monitor attached and not the MBP display and performance was about 10% better than with dual monitors - so still extremely poor, to say the least.
    This machine is the flagship MBP and has a dedicated AMD Radeon HD6750 GPU which should take care of most if not ALL graphics processing - I mean it's capable of running some pretty demanding games!
    Putting aside the issue of constant fan noise, there is no reason AT ALL, why using an external monitor should tax the i7 CPU this way - it's not as though Logic is graphically demanding... far from it.
    I am on 10.6.8, Logic 9.1.5, all apps up to date via "Software Update".
    I will of course, be contacting Apple...

  • Both Monitor and TV use with 1 adapter?

    I have a 13" MacBook. I also have a nice 19" Samsung flat screen monitor lying around here. Since my laptop sees most of its duty on a table during the summer (no school), I'm thinking of getting the monitor and a keyboard and hooking it up, even though it's enormous.
    Now, I know all I need is a Mini-DVI to VGA connector (apple sells it for $19).
    But the thing is, I'd like to also be able to connect my laptop to a TV (meaning I need the mini-DVI to Video connector, $19 again).
    I could buy both, but I don't want to spend $40 on just connectors. What's my best option? Is there any other way?

    Some TVs have VGA connectors on them, but I'm guessing yours does not. In that case, I think you are stuck buying two adapters.

  • Can I use DisplayPort (for a monitor) and Thunderbolt at the same time?

    Hi all,
    I have a mid 2011 MacBook Air 13 inch with a single Thunderbolt port.
    I have the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter cable which I am able to use to run a Dell 24 inch monitor - this cable connects to both the DisplayPort/Thunderbolt port and also a USB port on the Air.
    I want to be able to run this Dell monitor, and also run a Thunderbolt hard drive - one with 2 Thunderbolt ports.
    Is this possible?
    Can I connect the DisplayPort part of the cable to the pass-through Thunderbolt port on the hard drive, and then connect the hard drive to the Thunderbolt port on the Air?
    Thanks, for any advice :-)
    I would like to buy the Apple Thunderbolt display (which would solve this issue), but I suspect it will may refreshed soon. So I don't intend to get one until then.
    Thanks :-)

    OK,
    I have tried this myself and it does work.
    Macbook Air - connect to Seagate GoFlex Thunderbolt (Using Thunderbolt cable)
    Seagate Goflex Thunderbolt passthrough to a Dell 24 Inch monitor (using Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter cable).
    Both the Seagate GoFlex and the Dell 24 inch monitor work :-)
    I am happy with this result, so I won't need to get a Thunderbolt moniter just yet - I will wait for Gen 2 :-)

  • VGA monitor and a 2010 Mac Mini - HELP PLEASE!

    I just upgraded from the early 2009 model where all you needed was a VGA to mini DVI adapter. With this 2010 model, Im not sure if thats possible (for cheap anyway). I have a VGA monitor and all I want to do is hook it up to the new mac mini ...but how? I've heard that because VGA is analog and HDMI is digital that it cannot be done for under $100 ..is this so? why oh why couldnt apple have stuck with mini dvi. Please someone advise how to do this ..or am I forced to buy a new monitor with DVI/Mini DVI/HDMI connections

    Forget the HDMI port. There's the Mini DisplayPort available, and all it takes is the right adapter:

    That should solve your problem.

    Yes.
    You can have one HDMI (or DVI monitor via HDMI to DVI adopter) on the HDMI port
    Another monitor via one Thunderbolt port and suitable adopter if not a displayport/mini displayport monitor
    And use the other Thunderbolt port for Ethernet via a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adopter.

  • I just bought a Samsung S22B310B computer monitor and hooked up to my Mac Mini. I have my mac set to the 1920X1080 resolution but the entire screen (21.5") is not filled. It looks like non HD channels do on an HD TV. Used regular hook up not DVI.

    Just bought Samsung S22B310B computer monitor and hooked it up to my mac mini. I have my mac set to the 1920X1080 resolution but the entire screen (21.5") is not filled. How do fill the screen? it fills the screen on other resolution settings. I have it hooked up regularly and not to the DVI hook up. I'm not a computer savvy person please help!

    That monitor supports both (digital) DVI and (analog) VGA connections, so you should not need a converter or use a different adapter.
    You should use the Apple Supplied HDMI to DVI Adapter and a (digital) DVI cable to the monitor.

  • If I purchase a non-apple monitor and connect to my Macbook Pro, will I be able to put it to sleep?

    I'm looking to buy a monitor or two for my laptop (Retina Macbook Pro 2013 model (not the latest one)). There are a few things that I would like to understand.
    - If I'm going to get the Apple Cinema Display, I know I will be using thunderbolt to connect my laptop to it. If I get a non-Apple monitor though, what will I be using? HDMI? also thunderbolt? is thunderbolt exclusive to Apple or can non-Apple monitors use thunderbolt as well.
    - As far as sizing and resolution, I know that I have to pay attention to the resolution of the monitor I'm getting to make sure I'm getting the quality I'm looking for as opposed to just looking at the size of it. Ideally, I would want my monitor to look like my Retina Macbook, whats the resolution I should be looking for? Is Retina too much for a monitor? if so, whats a good resolution for a monitor that my Macbook can support fully, what size will work without reducing the quality? does dual screens (even if the second screen was the laptop screen) reduce the quality of one of the monitors?
    - I don’t know if this an exclusive thing to when using an Apple monitor but, would I be able to put my laptop to sleep (actually close the lid) while it mirrors to the monitor? Is this only possible when using thunderbolt and therefore it can only happen with Apple Cinema Display? or can it happen with other cables?
    - Finally what are your recommendations for monitors that are good. I'm debating between one 27/30 inch monitor and two 21/23 inch display. LCD? LED?

    This is more about your modem then anything. Sometimes you'll need to unplug and plug back in your modem. Consider it a glitch from the ISP or just the modem in general.
    when I need to turn something off then on I try the modem first. This when I'm not doing any ware and tare to the device.
