My Mac Pro is assembled wrong. How to fix it?

My macbook pro bottom case is assembled wrong. The rightside of the "bottom case" is further in than the left side. When apple assembled it they either have tightened it too much on the right side,but if not this must be a manufacture failure? Can i fix this myself by untighten the screw or will it just be loose? It isnt a big problem but when i have the mac on a table it wont be stable (it flick back and forth) because the right and left side isnt assembeled the same way. So the bottom case is perfectly assembeled on the left side and when i feel with my finger over the "mac case" and "bottom cover" i dont feel any bump. But when i stroke my finger on the left side, i without doubt felt the difference between the "bottom cover" and "mac case". So I will probably need to buy the special screwdriver and try to fix it myself. But if it will just be loose afterwards, do apple replace the macbook body then? Wonder if anybody else have had this problem, and if, how did you fix it? Hope you understand my terrible english

Don't touch the screws yourself — take it to an Apple Store or authorized service provider, exactly as it is now, for a warranty repair.

  • I have a WD 2 tb hard drive that I want to use to back up my Mac Pro quad core.  How do I create a back up startup disk?  Also, when I used Time macine, it only backed up users and not the system or library folders.  Ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Time Machine should be enough to make a backup of your files. Also, it should back up all folders, so open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options, and make sure that there are no folders included in the excluded items list.
    If you want to create a bootable clone of your hard drive, you need to use an app like Carbon Copy Cloner or the Disk Utility's Restore feature > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU7.html

  • Hello, I purchased Adobe as a download a few years ago and installed in on a Mac Pro. I would like to uninstall it on that mac and install it on a new Mac Pro. Any idea how I can do that?

    Just download, install, and activate using your serial number.  You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines.  If you do not wish to retain the original installation as a backup you can deactivate it by opening one of the programs and choosing Help -> Deactivate.
    Here is a general link for where you can find download links...
    Download and Installation Help -
    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
    If you would like a more direct link you will need to name the software and the version.
    If you need your serial number you should be able to find it in your Adobe account online if you registered the software when you first installed it.

  • How can you tell where your Mac Pro was assembled?

    I heard mention in another thread that some MP's were made in China while some were assembled in CA. Where do you find this information?

    I think this might be what you're looking for:

    I ran it on my Mac Pro and it told me unknown, though it told me my MacBook Pro was made in China.

  • My new Mac Pro 2.66..how sweet it is!

    So I received my new Mac Pro and, while in the process of setting things up, I have to say this is one gorgeous machine having opted for the ATI 4870 card and 6 GBs of RAM. Compared to my old G5 it is silent; the only fan noise occurs upon booting and then... *cricket chirps*
    I salvaged the G5's stock hard drive (160Gb, SATA 1.5) and another 500GB Maxtor (SATA 3.0) and now have 3 HDDs. Suggestions how to use the 2 extra drives?
    The only minor annoyances are a click that sounds every so often (the same click you hear when you put your mac to sleep) and the space bar on the wired alu. KB which makes a loose "clackity" sound when pressed. I may ask for an exchange.
    Otherwise I am one happy camper with my new Mac Pro!!!!
    Frank

    Hi Frank
    am Just doing the same as you- setting up a new 2.66 after retiring my G5!
    It's a fantastic machine and so nicely designed inside
    I am not experiencing any unwanted clicks- from the machine, my space bar is a bit nosier than the other keys -but hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it.
    As for what to use the other drives for- i'd put any media you use on them- video, audio, photo libraries & sound loops etc. depend on what you use the computer for- keeping your system drive just for OS and Applications.
    I'm a happy camper too!

  • HT1338 What has happened to IDvd, a friend of mine purchased a Mac Pro, he asked me how to burn a dvd from IMovie, his pro mac does not have IDVD to download to, only a dvd player setting, how do you burn a IMovie project now, before you went through IDVD

    A friend bought a Mac Pro, I want to also, he cannot download a project movie from Imovie to IDvd, because I Dvd is not downloaded on his $3000.00 new computer, what has apple done, how do you download & burn a movie project from Imovie if you do not have IDvd software, all previous systems had IDvd on them to do this. What is going on and how do you burn now.

    An alternative to iDVD - miDVD which I believe you can get from the App Store for free!

  • Which MAC Pro graphics card and how much RAM for FCE HD usage?

    I plan on purchasing a MAC Pro afer MacWorld Expo next month. Any recommendations for a specific graphics card that would complement my usage of Final Cut Express HD 3.5?
    Also, should I increase my RAM? I currently use 2 gb of RAM on my G4. Will I see greater productivity if I bump it up to 4gb of RAM on the MAC Pro or will 2gb suffice which I had planned to increase it to from the standard 1gb supplied?
    PowerMAC G4 dual 1.42ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2gb RAM, 3-LaCie FW800 external drives
    PowerMAC G4 dual 1.42ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   2gb RAM, 3-LaCie FW800 external drives

    Any of the graphics cards that Apple sells for the Mac Pro will be fine. Personally, I'd suggest choosing one with at least 128MB video RAM, 256MB would be better.
    2GB RAM in your Mac Pro will be more than enough for general purpose video editing. Going to 4GB will give you more oomph for RealTime effects and somewhat for rendering but you won't see a big difference in regard to capturing or general editing in the timeline.

  • The resolution on my Mac Pro is suddenly wrong.  I can not find a size that works. Help?

    Mac Pro: the resolution has changed to be slightly larger than my screen.  I can not find a setting to correct this.  Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Have you checked that zoom is turned off? Open System Preferences > Universal Access, and turn off Zoom. You can also try to hold the Control key and scroll down, so zoom will be turned off.
    If it doesn't work, open System Preferences > Displays, and choose the biggest resolution

  • Hello, itunes on G5 hard drive in a Mac Pro drive bay. How get off?

    Hi,
    My G5 recently failed on the mother board level. Had two hard drives in it and brought a Mac Pro which already had one drive in it.
    Formated the drive and installed my Leopard up to 5.8. Well, I thought I could just update my other hard drives and then back up my itunes, ...
    Well, the install disc wants me to format that drive before it installs the OS.
    Now, I can see the files and my attempt to just copy files over was not successful.
    Anyone know what I can do?

    It doesn't or shouldn't matter which drive bay
    You're right but just to be sure it's not a hardware issue it's always one of the first things to check. Not all of us were lucky enough to start off with 4 drives installed.
    the G5 Quad was 'rare' in that they could actually use GUID or APL partition types
    That Mac Pro is no different. In fact, the MP also boots from both partition schemes as well as MBR. It just won't install Mac OS X to those other schemes so you need to resort to cloning.
    Regardless of the partitioning/partitioing scheme it should still present itself to Disk Utility.

  • My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it

    My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. This has been happening more and more frequently. Today I was in my pictures and was trying to crop one and my phone shut off completely. Anyone know what's wrong with it or how to fix it?

    Make sure all apps are fully closed:
    - double tap your home button
    - hold your finger on an app
    - when the apps start to wiggle press the red "-" button on all the apps
    Now do a hard reset:
    - hold the home button and the sleeps/wake button down at the same time
    - the phone will shut off then when the apple logo ppears release both buttons
    If by then your contacts have not been restored you would need to try and retreive them from a back up on itunes/icloud that was made when the contacts were on the phone. You could even stream them from the cloud if they were synced to the cloud. The link beow will show you how to restore from an itunes/icloud back up:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Also to prevent this issue which i have seen alot when users are still running iOS 5 it would be best to update the iOS on your phone. To do this follow the link below:

    Hope this helps
