My Macbook casing seems to be damaging itself.

A few months ago I noticed a friend of mine was missing a part of the casing to the right of his trackpad, just above the infra red port, where the screen closes. If you look at the top right of the Macbook you'll see a groove, well I think that caused it. Anyhow, I thought it was caused by him being heavy handed with it but I've just noticed the exact same damage on my Macbook. I managed to glue it back on but I want to know what caused it, I'm hardly gonna spend almost £900 (About $1300) to bash it about. I take great care with my Macbook. I wouldn't have thought much of it if I believed I did it but as far as I can tell it just split, I didn't even notice it until it caught my sleeve while typing.
Anyways, Is this a design fault? I doubt it's coincidence. Thoughts Please.

I consider it a design fault. It is usually the magnet in between the screen and the bottom, to keep it closed.

My itunes library was on my PC. About two years ago I switched it to my Seagate server/hardrive. (itunes-preferences-advanced-change library). Last summer (2012) I bought a macbook, which seems to access the seagate server hard drive fine for word docs, excel spreadsheets,etc. It also seems to have started its own library which is not complete. My PC died this summer (I still have it though).
Now when syncing any of the multiple devices (ipods,ipads, iphones) that we have with my mac book, itunes states that "an error occurred" or the "app cannot be found". Itunes wants me to erase the device and sync with my macbook. The message "The iPhone “Renee’s iPhone” is synced with another iTunes library on “Renee PC”. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."appears.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Acrobat 9 pro seems to be damaging files, why?

I tried searching for information. but haven't been able to find a prior discussion that helps.
I have been using acrobat 9 pro on windows vista x64. I build files by dragging and dropping pages from one file to another. This is so that instead of having 12 files for a years worth of one bill, I have one.
This has happened more than once, so I did a full scan of my hard drive looking for bad sectors in case the problem was the file being written onto a bad sector.
What happens is that I open a file that has been fine and some of the pages are blank, both the thumbnail and the page. When this has happened before each re-open produces more blank pages.
The current file is 30,824 K.
Any idea why this happens and what I can do to prevent it?

I am not sure how to do this given what I am doing.
Scenario 1: I have scanned a bunch of pages into a single pdf file and at my leisure move the pages to different files. Not sure how I would use insert pages in this situation.
Scenario 2: I open a monthly statement and move the pages into another file containing previous months statements. Would I have to actually save the file first before I could follow your suggestion?
Is there anyway of determining what fonts I need in order to check if I have them?

Subject: acrobat 9 pro seems to be damaging files, why?
To test the font issue, try using insert pages to add a file to another one rather than the drag and drop. There could be a bug in the latter, or just that fonts don't work well with that process, particularly if you do not have the fonts on your system.

Workaround found: Install Adobe Flash Player.app seems to be damaged

Like many other Mac users, today I tried to update to the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player. The downloaded Install Adobe Flash Player.app (v3.3.9.0) seems to be damaged. It seems to have been inappropriately altered so its code-signing no longer works with the Mac OS X Gatekeeper. Even worse, switching the Gatekeeper off won't give any better chance to run the Installer.
This is what the Console tells:
05.02.14 14:29:08,565 coreservicesd[65]: Application App:"Install Adobe Flash Player" [ 0x0/0x7b07b] @ 0x0x7f93206ca360 tried to be brought forward, but isn't in fPermittedFrontASNs ( ( ASN:0x0-0x7d07d:) ), so denying.
05.02.14 14:29:08,565 WindowServer[127]: [cps/setfront] Failed setting the front application to Install Adobe Flash Player, psn 0x0-0x7b07b, securitySessionID=0x186a5, err=-13066

Google pointed me beside others to this page which informs that users won't have a real chance to fix it:
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/62707/how-to-get-installers-not-to-hang-on-waitin g-for-other-installations-to-complet
It seems as if this isn't new to Adobe:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1151807
Counting this and the big bunch of error reports in this forum, I guess you Flash developer guys here at Adobe should check and fix the Installer soon.
Thank you in advance.
Edit:
Here is a workaround that worked for me: Download the Flash Player archive 12.0.0.44 from this Archive page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#Flash%20Player% 20archives
When it is unzipped, you will find a folder named fp_12.0.0.44_archive in your Downloads folder. Open its subfolder 12_0_r0_44, and run the flashplayer_12_0r0_44_mac.dmg.

I have upgraded to Yosemite but had this problem prior to that. What I did find that work was to use the Disk Utility.app to recreate the dmg file.
Try this:
Right click on the dmg in Finder.
Choose: Open With->Disk Utility.app
Once open:
Select the dmg image at the bottom left in the list view.
Choose First Aid tab
Choose Verify
Choose Repair
On the Top Toolbar choose Convert
Use standard selections and place the new image on the Desktop
Dbl click on new DMG image file and it should work.

Hi A,
You have 3 months of free AppleCare phone support, and a 1 year hardware warranty. If I was concerned about anything on my new MBP, I'd contact Apple.

Creative Cloud - Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application.

I have purchased a year subscription to Creative Cloud. I am able to successfully download and open Creative Cloud and download an app. When I try to open the downloaded app, a message appears that says "Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application." Upon uninstalling AND reinstalling the app, the same message appears. It's not just one app in the Creative Cloud, it is ALL of them that this happens to.

My 2011 MacBook Pro seems to be running a lot slower.

My 2011 MacBook Pro seems to be running a lot slower then when i first bought it with OS X Lion and now it is running OS X Mountain Lion? So I had the express lane call me to try to go back to OS X Lion to see of that was the problem but the guy said apple "doesn't support going back to previos OS systems".If anyone can tell me how to maybe clean out my mac (was a windows user before) or maybe how to go back to OS X Lion from Mountain Lion.Also I have never used timemachine before so I cant use that to go back to OS X Lion.

The fan seems to be running alot as well and the MBP isn,t that old only 6-7 months at the outside , could it be anything else possibly or do you definately think it is the Crashing issue

"Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application."

So I have been trying to contact chat support for the past hour and no answer. I spoke to them earlier about my Creative Cloud app having froze and they talked me through how to solve this issue. However, now when I try to open any of my downloaded apps such as Photoshop or InDesign, it gives me these messages:
"Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application."
"Adobe Application Manager, required to run your product, is missing or damaged.
Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from
http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager_uk."
I have tried re-installing all the apps & downloading a new copy of adobe application manager, but still there's no change. I currently am working with an OS X 10.9.5
Thanks!

Natacha,
The error message "Adobe creative cloud is needed to resolve this problem. However, it is missing or damaged. Please download and install a new copy of the Creative Cloud from http://www.adobe.com/go/adobecreativecloudapp" means that the installation of the Creative Cloud Application was not successful. I would recommend uninstalling the application, manually removing the folders mentioned below and trying the installation procedure again.
WINDOWS :: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE & C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AdobeApplicationManager .
MAC : /Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/OOBE & /Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/AdobeApplicationManager.
Please let us know if this works for you.
Regards,
Pattie

"Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application." What do I do?

I have a full Creative Cloud account. Every time I open any application, I get the message: "Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application."
I have uninstalled all of the applications including the CC Manager, and reinstalled and the problem persists.
One thing to note may be that I had another problem and someone at Adobe had me delete cache files and some other files. Not sure if that matters but thought I'd mention it. I never had this message before that. But before that, I could not download or update any files.

IPhoto is not running it seems that its damaged or incomplete is , this shows the little tab

To back up:
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
As to your main issue: Reinstall iPhoto
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

I bought an iPhone 4 about 3 days ago at radio shack. But I didn't get any warranty on it and it seems to be restarting itself on its own. If I want a new one do I have to buy it or can I replace it?

If you bought a new iPhone, it is covered under warranty. There's nothing to get, it simply is covered.
To check the warranty and support coverage, go here and enter the device serial number.
