New Macbook Pro Lid not Aligned Properly

Hi all,
I received my new 2010 15" HR i7 Macbook Pro earlier this month (May) and have been very happy with it up until yesterday when I noticed that the screen lid and the rest of the body do are not aligned properly when the lid is closed. There is an offset of about 1.5mm in the left-to-righthand direction.
The computer is only weeks old and hasn't been dropped or mishandled, so I was wondering where I stand here. It's not a massive deal really, but I feel as a virtually brand new machine, this thing should be perfect. Would I be entitled to a replacement for this defect, and if so, how long would I likely be without a machine whilst I send it back etc. (it has some customisations so can't be exchanged in a retail store).
Thanks in advance

Hi chapowski and welcome to Apple Discussions!
You are asking questions here which we don't really have any way of answering. Your best bet is to contact Apple ((44) 0844 209 0611 in the UK) and let them know your problem, and ask what they can do for you.
Just FYI, Apple typically does not replace computers unless they are unable to repair them. Since it is not a stock machine, a repair would likely take less time than a replacement anyway.
Best of luck.

  • Trackpad not working on brand new Macbook Pro 15" not retina,

    I've just got from UPS my new Macbook Pro 15" not retina. It's the basic model, without upgrades.
    I've plugged it in and turned it on to go through the setup assistant, but I had to do it with the keyboard and an external USB mouse, because the internal trackpad is not responding at all. Is it normal?
    Thanks!

    That was the first thing I did. They told me that it was normal, but I don't believe them. They told me to wait until installation was complete and perform updates, and try after that. That's what I'll do, but I suspect I'll have to have it replaced.
    Right now I'm migrating my old mac to this one. I'll update as soon as migration is complete.

    Don't use any cleaning spray. Wipe with a moist but not wet microfiber cloth.

  • New Macbook Pro does not start up after updating...HELP!!!

    Hi,
    My new Macbook Pro does not start up after it got updated. The first time I used it, it was perfect. I updated it and restarted it when it told me to but it doesn't boot. It shows an apple and a spinning circle when it turns on but that's it.
    Can somebody please help me?

    You should probably post your question in the MacBook Pro discussions:

  • Purchased Lightroom software on disc, new MacBook Pro does not have a disc drawer.

    Purchased Lightroom software on disc, new MacBook Pro does not have a disc drawer. Have already opened box. Searched online and someone suggested downloading the LR trial, and set up Cloud, then can enter the serial number to complete the purchase. Which is what I did, but the serial number is being rejected.

    Ok, maybe what they’re calling Creative Cloud is merely your Adobe ID, an e-mail and password to login with.  The LR5 6 update link is probably what you want to download—all updates are downloads, anyway, so there’s no need to have a disc reader as long as you have internet and the serial number.
    Here is the LR 5.6 update for a Mac:  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5822
    Another issue might be that what you think is a serial number is a redemption code that needs to be converted to a serial number using this website:  http://www.adobe.com/go/getserial   A clue that you have a redemption code is that it has letters and numbers.  A serial number is just numbers and the first few are 1160-something.

  • IPhone with new MacBook Pro - phone not recognized by iTunes

    So, I got a new MacBook Pro and connected my iPhone to sync it with iTunes. But the iPhone isn't being recognized.
    Anyone know what steps to take to get it to recognize the phone to sync? There are no error messages. Just a phone that doesn't seem to want to sync.
    I checked the phone by plugging it into another lap top, and it gets recognized right away, so I'm thinking it's related to the latest iTunes or the MacBook Pro.
    Thanks!

    Went to the Genius Bar, The tech decised it was a bad logic board. I got a new computer to replace a week old one. After going through setting it up again, I have the same issue. System Profiler sees that an iPhone is connected, but not iTunes. I can not sync to the new MBP. At the moment, I am syncing to my old MBP, just so I have the iPhone set up as I had it.
    BTW, if you go through the "iTunes does not see iPhone" suggestions and enter DFU (restore mode) your iPhone gets bricked. But it is recoverable by using a different computer. I am currently trying a NEW install of the OS on the i7, but I suspect a hardware/driver interaction problem. I have no hopes until 10.6.4 arrives in a month or so.

  • New Macbook Pro will not let me login

    I have a fairly new Macbook Pro.  When I turn it on, the Apple screen comes up, then the user icons.  I can move the cursor just fine, but when I try to click on my user icon, the computer doesn't respond when I click on the icon.  This is an intermittent problem, and has just started happening in the past two weeks.  I have to shut the computer down by holding the on/off switch down, then restart, hoping it will work.
    I took it to the Apple Store Genius bar and they ran a diagnostic on it last weekend.  Clean as a whistle, and of course, it worked just fine there.
    Any suggestions or ideas about what could be wrong?  I have Bootcamp and can access Windows on it, no problem.  This seems to be an iOS problem.

    Tapping to click is not the default behavior of the trackpad, and doesn't work in the login screen or in Recovery. You have to physically click the trackpad button by depressing it.

  • Old Mac running Mountain Lion 'sees' Canon IP5000, new MacBook pro will not. No driver available from canon. Is there a way of transfering whatever is working from old mac to new?

    I have two older macs running Mountain Lion that have been upgraded over the years from Leopard. They have continued to be able to print to a Canon IP5000 and use a driver that is fully functional. On the new MacBook Pro, the printer is found, but no driver is available for Mountain Lion from apple or Canon. Is there a way of getting the driver info from the old mac so that it will work on the new one?

    Sorry, it says "New Event," not "New Entry." My bad.

  • New Macbook Pro will not shut down.

    Hi,
    So I just got a new Macbook Pro four days ago from the Apple store and I'm already running into a little bit of trouble, that being my macbook will not shut down. Once I open the shut down window, the normal countdown that comes with it usually will not appear and I am incapable of clicking the shut down button. I have not downloaded anything onto my mac besides Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flashplayer, and a pdf document of my receipt from the apple store. I have burned some of my music CDs into itunes and browsed the web (nothing fishy; just some shopping, movie streaming from netflix and youtube, and reading articles online published by universities). Should I take the computer to the Apple store or is this something I can fix on my own?
    Thanks so much

    If I were you I'd take it back to the Apple store and let someone at the Genius Bar take a look at it. The worst case is you made an extra trip, but at least this way you can exchange it immediately if there's a problem. You only have a 14 day window for this, might as well take advantage of it.
    The only other thing I can suggest is to open the Force Quit option from the Apple icon in the upper left corner. See if there are any apps that show Not Responding. If there are any like that, force quit them then try to shut down.

  • My new Macbook Pro does not have Frontrow

    Just got a new Macbook Pro Intel 2 Duo Core but I can't find Frontrow? It came with a remote too.
    I downloaded an update but it's a ".pkg" so I'm unable to open it.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks!
    ST

    FrontRow should be installed on your new MBP. It's not a usual application, you'll find it in System/Library/CoreServices.
    What happens when you press the Menu button on the remote or Command-Esc on the keyboard? That should invoke FrontRow.
    If it really isn't installed, you can install it from the OSX disks that came with the Mac.
    Insert Disk 1 and click the "Install Bundled Software Only". Follow the instructions. After selecting the install destination, click on the Customize button and you should find Front Row as one of the options.

    you should use either WPA or WPA2
    Absolutely. As the KB article indicated by Linc Davis says
    "Do not use WEP unless it is the only Wi-Fi security type that your device supports, and be aware that it is now very unsecure."

  • HT202731 Yosemite on new MacBook Pro is not recognising Seagate or Lacie external hard drives

    My Lacie external drive and Seagate external drive are not being recognised by my new MacBook Pro 13" retina with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.  Initially the Lacie worked, but that has dropped out - cannot find it in disk utilites.
    Lacie is recognised by my friends computer with Maverick - OS X 10.9.5.  Currently downloading data and will try to reconfigure the external drive.  Is Yosemite truly not acknowledging other drivers?  USB memory key is fine.  Lacie has been my back up for some years, also Seagate, but on older computers. Suggestions needed to resolve this please.

    Contact the manufacturers of Lacie and Seagate.  You need to determine if the models that you have are compatible w/your new OS system and/or comp.
