Part found while cleaning keyboard. What could it be?

Cleaning my keyboard, I removed it as usual to check for dust and when I put it back there was a bulge at the top center. Removing it again, I found a tiny circular part ca. 3mm in diameter loose underneath. Looks like a hearing-aid battery but probably isn't. What is this and do I have to worry about it being loose? I checked all around the area and can't for the life of me see where it belongs. Thanks for advice!

Hi again,
Ah yes I see what you mean, I re-read my post, sorry.
What I ment was when you lit the keyboard look at the top part of the laptop case where the keyboard came from not the the underside of the keyboard, you should then see in the top middle a little hole to replace the magnet.
hope this is clearer for you ?

  • The App Store will not update my apps. I keep getting An error occurred while downloading the updates.(102) What could resolve this issue?

    My App Store is no longer updating my apps or my OS. I keep getting this message: An error occurred while downloading the updates.(102) What could be the reason for this issue and what will resolve it?

    I believe its an auth error. If you tried signing in and out of the app store and downloading a free app (typical fixes) and it persists, try downloading the updates manually. If youre trying to get the Mountain Lion updates the link for 10.8.1 is here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1571   and if you already have 10.8.1 and youre trying to update to 10.8.2 the link is here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1580 a supplemental update came for the 10.8.2 which can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1600
    Like I said before, the error isnt that your software or hard drive is corrupt, it has to do with your AppleID authenticating the download, especially because OS updates are part of the Mac App Store. If you know your way around your system libraries or root libraries you can possibly fix it by deleting specific files that may be corrupted, otherwise you're going to want to back up your data and reinstall the OS.
    Good luck!

  • I've just downloaded Sophos (yesterday) and commenced the scan. It keeps stopping part way through, the 2nd time when it was about 98% completed after 4 hours!!!! I've had to start again. What could be causing this? I have Mountain Lion.

    You will be advised by people here that Sophos is "junk" and should be removed {...} Sophos actually works pretty well, in my testing, and so I would suspect that there may be an underlying problem with your file system that needs to be repaired.
    FWIW, I have used Sophos regularly for several years now (including on my new iMac running Mountain Lion versions 10.8.2 & now 10.8.3) & never had any problems with it on any of the half dozen or so Macs I have installed it on.
    Quite a few people automatically assume all Mac A-V software is troublesome junk, & many will leap to the conclusion it is the cause of some problem without considering other potential (& often much more likely) causes, regardless of which A-V product is installed.
    Obviously I hope, not all A-V products are alike, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to me to condemn them all because of problems with one of them. Regarding Sophos in particular, finding first hand reports of it causing problems is quite difficult -- typically, if you ask for the details it turns out to be a second or third hand report & there isn't enough info available to know for certain if it is the real cause or not.
    This is not to say it is impossible for it to cause problems, just that it is prudent to consider all the possibilities before concluding that any one of them is the cause.

    You can try these things and see if it helps.
    Tap Settings, then tap Safari on the left side. Then on the right side - tap clear history, clear cookies, clear cache. Clear all three. Reboot your iPad. Hold down on the sleep button at the top until the red slider appears and slide to power off. Then hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and the iPad will restart. Launch Safari and see if helped.
    If that doesn't help, try this. Tap Settings, then tap General on the left side, then scroll down on the right side and tap Reset, then tap Reset Network Settings at the top. Reboot your iPad as described above. Launch Safari and log on to the Internet. You may have to enter your network password again when you reset Network Settings.
    Renew the Lease in WiFi by going to Settings>WiFi>Network Name>Renew Lease. Reboot your iPad and try Safari again.

  • "itunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found" "The procedure entry point_dispatch_queue_attr_concurrent could not be located in the dynamic link library libdispatch.dll."???? What does this mean?

    I simply wanted to update my itunes and this is now the error message I get and can't access or even log into itunes or itunes store.
    "itunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found" "The procedure entry point_dispatch_queue_attr_concurrent could not be located in the dynamic link library libdispatch.dll."???? What does this mean?
    Anyone have a solution?

    This error has the same pattern as those discussed in the first and third boxes of the user tip Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates, suggesting that you've got an outdated .dll file that needs replacing. You should find libdispatch.dll in the one of the following folders:
         C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
         C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    Delete it and then repair Apple Application Support from the control panel. If that doesn't work go for the full tear down and rebuild as outlined in the second box.

  • IPhone uploaded 12 gigs over wifi in 5 hours while not in use, what could be doing it?

    The other day I saw that I was over quota on the wireless network on campus, so I went looking for the reason.  Since I work for the tech department at the school, I loaded up my history... apparently my iphone uploaded 12 gigs in 5 hours, while it was just sitting at my desk unused!
    What kind of crazy app uploads that much?
    When I'm not using the iphone and leave the phone on my desk on wifi it seems to upload a lot.  Last week apparently 4 gigs in 1.5 hours and now 12 gigs in 5 hours, insane!
    I cannot for the life of me imagine what could require that kind of upload.
    And completely offball also... 4 gigs DOWN during those same 5 hours!!!  I wasn't on youtube, I wasn't on itunes, I wasn't on the app store... the phone was just sitting there.
    It seems rather insane to me.   Anyone have a similar experience or have any clue why this might be happening?
    (iOS 4.3.3, iPhone 4)
    Oh, and tethering/personal hotstop was turned off.

    Have you tried downloading some data tracking apps on the iphone itself?
    I installed 3 different ones, two of which track while running on the iphone.  All three reported under 100 megs wifi usage while the university network yet again reported gigs up and down in under 2 hours (12 gigs down, 8 gigs up).  I've contacted them and they're looking into it because the discrepancy is insane. 
    Maybe you should try tracking with both the router and on the iphone itself.
    What I find amusing is that my phone doesn't even use 1 gig a month on 3G (and I use my phone a lot).  Also my home wifi usage is nothing like that reported by my university... if I did 12 gigs per day at home, I'd be using our cable bandwidth cap all by my lonesome... which doesn't happen.
    I'm starting to think the iPhone in 4.3.X does some weird stuff that makes some monitoring tools to mis-report data usage.
