My MBP-Retina's trackpad makes a "creaky" noise after initial click sound.

The sound reminds me of a creaky, ungreased door hinge.
I simply do a click and that creaky noise occurs. This occurs usually in the bottom right corner and right edge of my Trackpad.
Are any of you experiencing this?
Is this a major issue that I can contact AppleCare about?
Thanks for helping out.

Okay. Thank you, Kappy. I appreciate your input.
But still, if anyone else knows EXACTLY what the problem is and HOW TO DIAGNOSE IT, please let me know!!
P.S. The computer still runs great; I'm just concerned that the sound will eventually develop into a bigger problem.

  • How to make a category highlighted after it clicked

    Hi there! Just want to know how to make a category highlighted after user click on it, so he will able to track on which category he is currently on?
    I've already created 3 categories (links) through creating library elements, I already have the hover effect  I made through CSS external stylesheet, everything works, but the category is not highlighted when I browse within it.
    Here is my HTML code of these 3 links:
    <td bgcolor="#663300"><!-- #BeginLibraryItem "/Library/Top_links.lbi" -->
    <div align="right" class="link"><a href="index.html">Home</a>     <a href="Accessories.html">Accessories</a>    <a href="Contact Us.html">Contact Us</a>    </div>
    <!-- #EndLibraryItem --></td>
    And here is my CSS code for these links:
    .link, .link a:link, .link a:visited, .link a:active {
        font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
        font-size: 18px;
        font-weight: normal;
        color: #FFFF33;
        text-decoration: none;
        padding: 5px;
        #home: color:#00FFFF;
    .link a:hover {
        font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
        font-size: 18px;
        font-weight: normal;
        color:#FF0000;
        text-decoration: none;
    So how to make the active link highlighted when browsing within it??
    Thank you

    Hello Wendy
    Please don't understand me wrong but it is not easy to understand issue described in your posting.
    I have the same notebook model and everything works well. I hear music daily on Windows media player (mp3s) or listening online radio using Winamp player.
    At the same time I can use flash cards.
    What to say about strange noises? Who knows what do you mean exactly and how should we understand this?
    Please be so nice and explain us exactly what do you do and what kind of noises you can hear.

  • How make a button inactive after the click ?

    Hi,
    how can i make a button inactive after i clik on it ? I need it becasue i have one button which play my symbol (made with this nice course https://blogs.adobe.com/edge/2012/07/18/tutorial-leveraging-independent-symbol-timelines/) but it's not working when the button is in the symbol where there is animation, it's only working when the buttons is a symbol on the stage and on the top of all over symbols, so when i clik on it works and play the symbol that i want but after is still active so i can't place another button at the exact same place of the first because it will play the first button and i need to put 20 buttons, anyone can help me please ? My buttons is just an empty rectangle so i don't talk about turn of the visibility but turn of th "activity"
    Thanks a lot

    If you prefer you can put the code in compositionReady
    Here is a sampe on how to use a next and prev buttons to change data.I have some other examples I will add later but this one could give you an idea on how to do it.
    This one uses data from an array and then moves through the info:
    https://app.box.com/s/78ya0labbydgwogxra2a
    If you are playing symbols then use the rigth scope to get to them.
    I would make a array of the symbol names and use it the same way like I did the array for the info.
    sym.getSymbol(mysymbolArray[i]).play();

  • Macbook pro retina start to make loud fan noise and work slow

    I bought macbook pro retina display less than one years ago. For some reason my macbook pro has been making loud fan noise for about five mounth. Whenever macbook pro makes the noise, all the programs start to run slow. Typing, opening safari, and etc takes forever. It takes 20min to 40min for the noise to stop. At first, the macbook pro made noise once or twice in a day, but now it's making the noise frequently; It happens every 2-3 hours. It got to the point where it start to annoying me. Is there a way for me to fix this issue? If not, can I use one year warrenty to fix this problem? Thank you.

    If your Mac works slowly when fans turn on, it's quite possible that there's a process which is eating the CPU and/or RAM.
    Open Activity Monitor (in /Applications/Utilities), select "All Processes" above "Show" (in the toolbar) and then, order the processes by CPU usage. Do you see any process which is consuming more CPU or RAM? If so, tell us the name.
    Additionally, you can reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • Are there fan noises from MBP retina 13inch?

    i was thinking if i should upgrade to 15inch MBP retina (im within 14days of purchase), but there are lots, i mean LOTS of complaints about fan noises in 15inch
    to me 13inch MBP retina has nearly non-existance fan noise which is good, has anyone who owns 13inch MBP retina experince any fan noises?
    kind regards

    Hi CouchP,
    I know that there have been some reported issues of the fans running unexpectedly with the 15" retina display, but I stand to tell you that I have personally not had any issues. I've had my retina display since January and I use it all day for work and home and have not had any issues at all with my fan. I use istat Pro to monitor my fan levels and there has been no issue. Keep in mind that those who report issues here are because they actually have issues. Just think of the millions who do not report issues. Besides, the issues that have been reported are intermittent issues and have reported that the fans come on for 30 - 60 seconds and then quiet down again. It's no difference than if you were watching a movie or video which causes the fans to come on anyway.
    Just my opinion on the matter. I LOVE my 15" book.

  • New MBP Retina Trackpad "jumps", doesn't select...

    Has anyone had an issue with the trackpad in the (NEW) MBP (Retina or otherwise)?  There are times when I "Tap" to move the cursor or select something new and it won't do it correctly, or it will jump off the point (or link, or whatever) that I'm trying to select.  Occassionally, it takes a couple tries to get it to operate correctly.
    I have tried changing the preferences--going both directions in sensitivity, but nothing seems to help (and that's about the only control we have now in the new OS).  I prefer my setting to "Tap", rather than "click".  If I wanted to make the click, it appears it wouldn't be an issue... I am just trying to keep it like I've had my previous MBP (mid-2009).  Both MBPs have Mountain Lion installed, and the mid-2009 seems to work flawlessly with the "Tap" selected.  Have already visited the Genius Bar twice--they have no solution.
    Any input greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I have the same EXACT problem.  It doesn't do it all the time, and sometimes can go almost a minute without noticing it, and the it might do it 5 times in a row.  I finally called Apple and we went through some resetting and such.  It didn't do anything, and he asked me to create a new test user account and see if it happened there, which it did.  He said since I was within the 14 day window, to exchange it and said he set it up in the computer and gave me a number.  I guess I will go to the Apple Store on 14th St. tomorrow and exchange it?  I dunno, I feel stupid exchanging it for such a minor (but definitely annoying) problem.  I imagine a software update could fix it.  I really doubt it's hardware (but the tech seams to think it is).  Regardless, I shouldn't have to deal with this issue for such an expensive laptop

  • MBP Retina- trackpad and mouse click unresponsive

    Just got a brand new MBP retina, 15" 2.6Ghz Quad, 16GB Ram, 500 SSD.
    Been working with it for two days absolutely no issues, working fantastically with both trackpad and a wireless magic mouse.
    Used it this morning for several house, took it to work, turned it on and the mouse is working ie the cursor moved over the screen but i am totally unable to click anything! Forced it to restart (holding down power key as that was all that worked), hasn't cured the problem.
    The trackpad physically clicks so doesnt appear to be stuck, i tried plugging in a wired USB mouse, again can control the cursor but unable to click.
    Running 10.8.2, no new software was installed this morning when it worked fine, so cannot figure out what is wrong with it?
    Any suggestions?????

    Finally got it fixed. Make sure you guys call Apple Support. The first tier tech support is not able to help you because they have not been trained for that You will have to speak to a senior advisor. There will be a lot of deleting of caches involved while in safe mode. After did all that my trackpad and keyboard is working again. Hope you'll get yours working too!

  • Pressing the bottom of new MBP retina makes crunching/clicking sound

    When i gently press the bottom of my mbp retina i can hear crunching and clicking sounds on one of the bottom sides (right side if the notebook is upside down). The other side of the bottom doesn't squeak at all. Have you guys faced this problem? Do they replace notebooks with assembly issues?

    It's covered by a 1 year warranty, you can make an appointment at your local Apple Store or AASP to have it looked at. Sounds at best are hard to troubleshoot. If you suspect the HD please check out the Failing hard drive sounds link.

  • MBP Retina trackpad unable to primary click

    I have a MBP Retina which is only a few months old.  The last few weeks my "primary click" function on the tackpad has only been working intermittantly. Initially, I switched it to "tap to click" and that seemed to fix the problem.  Now tap to click doesn't work either.  I can still move the curser normally.  Interesting thing is my "secondary click" works fine (ie two finger tap).  More interesting is that both my bluetooth magic mouse and trackpad have exactly the same problem (no primary click/tap but secondary works fine).  I have tried other accounts and the recovery mode and still have the same issue.  Luckily I can screen share from my wifes computer so I still have access to my files.  I called applecare and tried a few reboots holding down various keys but no help.  Applecare thinks its a harware problem but I suspect it is software as the bluetooth devices are behaving the same way.  I have already updated to the newest sotware 10.8.3. 
    Any suggestions??

    On the built in trackpad do you hear a audible click when you press down on the trackpad?
    I think it is more of a software problem. Especially since both the built in trackpad and the magic mouse does the same thing. A hardware fault would not effect both the built in trackpad and a mouse, of any kind, the same way.
    For a test do a clean install of os x on a external drive, that is a clean fresh install of os x not a copy of the install on your internal drive. Then boot the system from the external and test both the internal trackpad and MM for the same problem. If you no longer have the problem then it is software related with the install of os x on your internal drive. If you do still have the problem then it is hardware.
    Only apple, or a AARC, can fix hardware problems by diagnosing the problem and replacing the part or parts that are faulty.

  • MBP Retina display setting to make Photoshop less pixelated?

    I just purchased a MBP Retina and I've noticed (as many have, I've gathered) that Adobe CS6 programs appear pixelated on the new retina display. I realize that not all apps are upgraded for the retina display, but I was wondering if there is a display setting I can use for this to be resolved for the time being? Much appreciated, thanks!

    Well, OK, if it is completely dimmed, not just stuck on a low level, try pressing fn-f2 (function & F2).  If the box in preferences is checked, then adding "fn" may help. Worth a try if it works.

  • MBP Retina or Powerful Ultrabook?

    Hi, I've been a PC user all my life, but after working my way through the first iPod Nano, a couple iPod Touches, and now an iPad 2- I've grown to like the way Apple works. I'm finally at the point where I've decided to upgrade my 4-year old Future Shop sale Toshiba, which surprisingly has lasted me a good deal of time. However, I'm not a fan of the limited capabilities, the weight, and the fact that it very easily overheats (to nearly scalding temperatures), leading me to opt for my iPad most of the time. I'm a sucker for HD and quick boot-ups, so of course I fell in love with the MBP Retina when it was released. The only thing holding me back is the hefty price tag. Because of this, I began to research several ultrabooks and found that I could get the same specs (except for retina, but I'm fine with 1080p) and even a few bonus features (I would love a Blu-Ray drive and some accident-proof features) for half, or slightly-more-than-half of the price of the MBP. My favourite features of the MBP are the "little things"- fast bootup, magsafe, trackpad, and iCloud to work seamlessly with my iPad (which, i guess isn't really a "little thing"). I'm just not sure if these are worth the extra $1000 when I could just get an amazing PC.
    I plan to use this computer in the following ways:
    - Web browsing/ social networking
    - Homework (university... of course)
    - Entertainment (play movies, TV shows, etc)
    - Some video and picture editing (I have a Sony camera which records AVCHD, which edits best on Sony Vegas)
    - Running language software (i.e. Rosetta Stone)
    So anyway, I'm not a gamer or a hardcore video editor, but I would like to be able to do some editing and video playback with clarity and without lag. As such, I figure I really only need the i5, so the base model of the Retina is fine for me. But again, I could get a **** good computer with i5 for much less money than the Retina, so I'm looking for reasons to sway either way. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,

    Hmm...
    'll readily admit, I'm a bit of an Apple head, so always say YEAH GO FOR IT.
    However,
    I'd say be aware, if you aren't going to use the power, you may be better going for alternatives, but I'll give you a rundown of some pro's and cons for your usage.
    - Cold boots in 15 seconds flat
    - can play 4 1080p streams at once without lag or framerate drop
    - Photo editing on Aperture is excellent
    - Photostream means your photos are there almost instantly wirelessly (not with the camera of course)
    - Photoshop CS6 (when the retina patch is out) will look brilliant
    - I had a photo zoomed out to fill half the screen size, of a whole person, yet could still see individual hairs on the head.
    - Build, engineering, design and material quality unsurpassed in the industry (you cannot flex anywhere or make anything creak)
    - Logevity, just upgraded from a 2008 Air - which was still going strong with no visible wear or damage/scratches
    -Power, good graphics chip, switchable for battery life
    - Video editing is amazing (on Final Cut Pro - which is Retina ready) you can veiw full 1080p with the interface still visible
    Cons:
    - Lag - on 'best for retina' its great, on 'More space' scaling, if you allow GFX chip switching, will cause serious lag - forcing the GeForce fixes this
    - Other laptops will be great for your needs, and cheaper, but may not last as long
    - The next generation in a year will likely iron out the lag issues
    - Most programs are not yet retina ready - meaning they look... well... very dodgy indeed
    I would say the MacBook is a fantastic machine and you will not regret the purchase, it will last you a good 3-5 years and you will thoughoughly enjoy it.  It's an absolute joy to you and the trackpad and keyboard are brilliant.  The speakers are also great.
    However, you will likely get a notebook more than good enough for your needs, as you said, for much less money.  If you can happily afford it - get the Mac, they are some of the finest computers money can buy.  If it's a stretch - get a **** good alternative, you'll enjoy it equally and get great performance and some extra money in the old pocket!
    Hope this helped a bit anyway - if you have any questions, ask away, more than happy to help
