RAM black plastic ribbon in the way
Hi all.
I'm trying to install some RAM that I bought from Crucial and install it into the spare slot. Unfortunately the back of the black plastic ribbon appears to be in the way when trying to to insert the RAM.
Is this normal or is there any way around it?
hi willmx,
That black plastic ribbon is used to pull out the memory from the iMac and it is located in the middle of the memory slot , one end is lose and the other one attached to the memory slot.
So if the plastic is all the way in the slot try with slim tiny tool try to pull it out from the side that is not connected, it is really simple. Otherwise you can do this with no tools...
Take a look at this simple youtube video for memory upgrade:

I hope this helps. Please let me know how it goes.

Black plastic part under the screen is loose (MBA 11,6)
The black plastic part under the screen is a little loose. If you press with one finger you push it in and it will move a bit. Anybody else got this problem?
Hi, was it covered under your one year warranty, I opened my Macbook Air one day and heard a crack, when I looked in the back of the computer the hing had broken and something was hanging out of the back. When I tried to close it the screen turned green and then went off, so I took it to repair however was told it probably wasn't covered on the warrant. From googling the issue it appears that many other users have experienced the same thing. I'm assuming if enough users complain it will eventually become covered!

Replacing Trackpoint Cap why do the replacements not have the black plastic piece? T420
So I feel like my trackpoint has begun to wear down on my T420 and I went to replace it today with the similar cap from the Trackpoint Cap Collection (73P2698) that I ordered with my machine. When I removed my cap I was suprised to see that there was a piece of black plastic attached to the underside of the cap. None of the caps in the collection have this plastic piece, and I seem to be unable to remove it from the cap. Without the black plastic piece, the caps don't seem to fit correctly.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Solved!
Go to Solution.I'll try to take it out with tweezers. It is really wedged into the cap. Does the stick have a part number? If I accidentally break it will I be able to call have one sent to me under warranty?

Itouch 1st generation black plastic insert on back corner
Hello, the little black plastic insert on the back corner has popped out and cannot be found. I know this somehow covers or aids the wifi connection. Where can I find a replacement for this, and is it necessary? I was only able to find one online site that listed the small plastic piece at almost $30...!!
Thanks for the helpIt is just a dust cover. However the real metal antenna appears to be attached to the plastic. You do need the metal part. See the forst set of phots in the following:

If you can buy from Crucial, Amazon or macsales (OWC), I would (I know that Crucial and OWC ship internationally but I don't know about Amazon). Both have lifetime guarantees for their products and should not be affected at all during shipping.
Amazon has a better price on the Crucial RAM than even Crucial, by the way.

Hp Deskjet 6988 Wireless Printer Can't Remove Ink Cartridge. White piece in the way.
Unable to remove ink cartridges there is a white plastic card in the way. It has icons of an arrow pointing to a circle and what appears to be a clock.
How do I move it so I can replace my ink?Hi @Re-Creativity , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you are experiencing cartridge issues. I would like to help!
I would recommend starting with a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I'd then recommend this document:

Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

The black plastic strip that connects the top portion (screen) to the bottom portion (keyboard) is cracked and getting pretty bad. I brought it in to get fixed, but I was told it is just a costmetic problem. I am worried that soon it will be cracked completely. Is there any way to just replace that portion without replacing the entire screen?
I completely agree. If it does crack all the way through, does it effect the use of the computer though?
I'm just trying to plan ahead. -
I would gladly pay for such an app but it does not exist as far as I can see. This renders my iPad useless to me in anything else but daylight since my eyes are very sensitive at the moment. Any suggestions on what to do? I've been thinking of putting something physical in front of the screen like a flash filter but haven't tried this out yet.
Saw this on another forum. Haven't tried it.
Settings App -> General –> Accessibility –> Triple-click Home -> “Toggle White on Black.”
Even though you can't reduce the illumination of the lights in the iPad further without a jailbreak, you can use this system setting to increase the amount of light that gets blocked in many cases by triple clicking the home button.
Another possibility. You gould get two polaroid plastic sheets and overlay them. When you rotate the sheets, you can vary the transmission all the way to dark. This works just like camera polarizing filters.
Send feedback to Apple. Since it can be done via jailbreak, Apple should be able to provide more adjustment.

I went to use my ipod touch 8GB but it wasn't working, when i looked closer it was on just very very dim. The brightness is turned up all the way and the screen is practically black.. does anyone know how to fix it?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings If yu can see the screen enough to do it)
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you have a hardware problem.

My iPhone's screen black, it does not work and I tied to hold press power and home press but it did not work? By the way for seconds I saw iTunes cabal simple, but unfortunately, I do not have backup for my iPhone in my mac, so how can I restore my iphone without loss my date?

I dont want the button problem solved i need to know how to restore the phone without using that button or going into settings
You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
Seriously? It's physically broken! -
I have a 15' Macbook Pro, mid 2010 running Mavericks. I want to upgrade the hardware by increasing the RAM to 8GB and replacing the HD for a SDD one. What would be the best way to install mavericks on the new HD? I have the original OS X CD.
From what I read, I have 2 choices: 1. to install OSX and then upgrade to Mavericks, but I'm not sure if this would be possible (to upgrade directly from OSX to Mavericks); and 2. to use a software called Super Duper.
I wouldn't like to have to use a third party software to do this, so the question is: is there a better way to install directly the Mavericks not having to use a third party software?Install the new drive in the computer.
Install the old drive in an external USB or Firewire enclosure.
Boot the computer from the Recovery HD on the external drive.
Use Disk Utility to partition and format the new internal drive.
Clone your external drive to the internal drive.
How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
Step Three: Boot from the Recovery HD on the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the Recovery HD then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the
Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
(Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
hours depending upon the drive size.
Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Using Disk Utility still opened.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer. -
16:9, Black border all the way around the video.
Using a Canon GL2 video camera I shot a short video in anamorphic 16:9. I then imported it into FCP, in the same format. Exported it and brought it into DVDSP in 16:9.
Everything looked great on my 4:3 TV. It looked like it letterboxed just fine and would project on an HD TV just fine. However, once it opened up on screen it only covered about 95% of the screen. There was a black border all the way around the video.
Anyone have an explanation for this. Better yet, a solution to correct this problem.
Thanks
KyleIf you had got the settings wrong I would expect there to be large borders down the sides, as if you were watching a 4:3 channel on a 16:9 TV that is not set to zoom the image. I don't think you would describe that as 95%.
When you say open up on screen, do you mean on a computer, or on a projection screen? In either case you see the whole image, including the stuff beyond action safe, which you probably wouldn't see on a 4:3 TV or a 16:9 HDTV. Many cameras only fill 702 of the 720 pixels. If you look at the original DV file from the camera, does it fill the full width of the 720 wide image space, or does it have thin black broders? -
dropped my iphone on a rocky area and a little tiny piece of the corner above the stainless band of the black plastic sort of smushed up. i pushed it back down but I'd like to put a drop of super glue here to makes sure it doesn't come loose.
is this a iphone4 copasetic thing to do?
thanks.Yes. That is serious. Take it to Apple and ask them to check it out for you.

Where can I get the black plastic feet/plug for a MBp A1278?
One of our children have apparently removed one of the black rubber/plastic feet, from the bottom of my wife's MBp A1278. I would have discounted it as a cosmetic item, but when the wife uses the laptop on a hard surface, it rocks. And well, she is unhappy, so I am here.
I understand that in the process of replacing one, I may have to purchase the entire set. But if it means that she is happy, then it is worth it. And who knows, down the road the kids may take out one of the others....I talked to 1 person in Apple Store Sales, and 3 people in Apple Support. I could not get this kit ordered over the phone (and it's not available online anywhere). Apple Support advised me to buy 3rd party kits available on Amazon. (Not the same thing.) I made a Genius Bar Appointment at my local Mac store and showed them HT5236 in the Knowledge Base. I walked out with Part Number 076-1398 "MacBook Pro Foot Installation Kit, SIngle-Pack" times 2 since I needed to replace 2 of the feet. Each one was 10 bucks. You need a tiny bit of super glue to install, but it's not an onerous task. It comes with installation instructions. Only tool you need is the screwdriver to open the bottom case.

Are you certain about that? There are many alternatives to Office today. Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free)
OpenOffice (completely free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). All of these options allow you to open, edit, and save Word-formatted documents and spreadsheets. I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.
