Need to adjust trackpad tightness - What size tri-wing screwdriver do I need?

Got a Late 2008 15" Macbook Pro
Trackpad has become unresponsive to clicks unless pressing down really hard.
Found out how to fix in on numerous sites but can't find what size tri-wing screwdriver i need to do so. It's about 2mm in diameter.

  • I have 4 equal oblong shape created with borders How do I go about knowing what size the selection area is so that I can crop an image to fit. I don't want to use paste in then adjust the bounding box to suit

  • For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

    For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

    With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
    In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer. 
    There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9.  It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions.  When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
    In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen. 

  • What size external hard drive do i need to backup my macbook pro?

    I know I need to backup my computer, especially since I have been experiencing some problems with it and will need to take it into a store to get looked at, but I do not know what size external hard drive I need to back my computer on.

    Drives are so low in cost today, go for something that will meet your needs for a while...if you are going to use Time Machine, get a drive large enough that you can have a partition double the size of the internal drive for TM backups, and a partition you can use for more storage and work space.
    A decent drive like the Mercury Elite Pro 2 TB drive OWC sells goes for less than $200 (US) now.  Has a fast interface and is easy to setup.

  • What size external hard drive do i need for Time Machine

    What size external hard drive should I get to be my Time Machine backup? My iMac is 1TB. (also, I have MBP that is 250gb and will need one for it as well)
    Thank you.

    It is better to buy an external drive that has 3 times the storage capacity
    as  of the computer's internal HD.
    Best.

  • What size screw driver do i need to install RAM?

    I need to install 512 more mb of ram for my ibook and the compartment under the keyboard is teeny-tiny. Since i'm going to the home depot, what size screwdriver do i need to unscrew the compartment to get to the ram

  • What size file is needed to print A1 size posters?

    I want to create a poster that can be printed in A1 size. I know I need to use a good size digital photo to print this big but what size file do I create in Photoshop Elements 8 so that I can have someone print the image? Or do I need to use a different program to create the poster itself? Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can create a file of dimensions: 23/33 inches. This is the approx size of a A1 paper. You can very well create it in PSE.
    Cheers.

  • HT4854 What size does the recovery partition need to be for Lion or Mt Lion?

    What size does the recovery partition need to be for Lion or Mt Lion?

    Maybe I'm approaching the problem the wrong way. My problem is that I installed a new HDD in my laptop after cloning it to a backup drive, and I wanted to install the OS after formatting the drive using Disk Utilities from my desktop machine. Since I had Lion installed from the App Store as a paid download, I thought I'd start with a freshly downloaded install of Lion, but I can't access the internet directly with my laptop since it has no OS or apps. So I'm downloading Lion to my desktop machine hoping to install it on my laptop as a Target HD. Is that possible? Does the App Store download allow choosing which drive to install on?

  • What size/quality photograph is needed when the desired end result is to print as a 17X22 poster?

    I am new to photoshop and need to understand what size and/or quality (color type?) the original photo has to be in order to be able to eventually print the image as large as 17X22 for posters.

    Keep in mind viewing distances typically increase as images get larger, unless the image is for a special purpose and is expected to be viewed with a magnifier or from a closer distance than typical.  A common rule of thumb is to assume the image will be looked at from no closer than its diagonal measurement.
    This is just a swag, but at 17 x 22 you may want 150 to 250 ppi (pixels per inch) to be able to get a pretty nice, crisp print that stands up to reasonable scrutiny.  Most modern digital cameras will yield an image more than sufficiently detailed for this, and there are upsampling and sharpening techniques that can make even an image somewhat lacking in pixel count look very good at that size.
    Look into Perfect Resize (used to be Genuine Fractals) as one such tool.
    Also, conversion of a raw image in Adobe Camera Raw directly to a pixel count higher than the camera's native photosite count is an option, followed by more aggressive sharpening.  I use this technique myself with very good results.  Generally speaking, if your computer is up to it it's a good idea to work on images at a higher resolution than you'll need for their final use.
    Assuming you're going to use raw image processing, I recommend also converting into a wide gamut color space - e.g., ProPhoto RGB, and using 16 bits/channel to edit your images.  If you don't do your own prints, down convert to the recommended color space and format for whatever print house you choose to use (e.g., 8 bit sRGB JPEG).

  • What size external hard drive needed for Time Machine?

    Can someone offer advice? What size external hard drive do I need to back up my system with Time machine? Hard drive is 232 GB but I'm only using 40 GB of the 232.
    Thanks.

    beach bum51,
    Hard drive space is cheap, so I'm going to recommend that you get something with at least 500 GBs capacity. 500 GBs would be twice the capacity of your internal, which is apparently the "recommended" size, so I have no hesitation recommending it. The larger the drive, the lower the cost per GB.
    What's not so cheap is speed. You'll be happiest with a drive capable of using the fastest bus provided by your computer. If your iMac has a Firewire 800 port, you'll get the best experience from using that port, and a drive that will use Firewire 800 transfer speeds.
