Should I use a keyboard cover with the new retina screen?

Someone in an apple store told me I shouldn't use a silicone keyboard cover on the new 13" macbook pro w/ retina because apparently theres not enough space for it when the laptop is closed and its been causing faults? Anyone know anything about this?

It also blocks the air intake.
I use the original thin foam packaging that comes between the screen and KB from the factory to reduce debris gettting in and the monitor getting impressions.
Since it's light and thin, lets air get in under it and into the machine throught the keyboard, deflects spills it's been great for the last few years.
I use a external keyboard and scroll wheel mouse to take the wear and tear, I hate trackpads anyway.

  • Does using a keyboard cover block the fans?

    I am using an iSkin keyboard cover for my MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display purchased in 2012. I was wondering if using this keyboard cover hinders the fans' performance.

(see FCP X)..
    good luck with apple dude..
    Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
    And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.

    Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

  • Using Alu Power Adapter with The new MBP Unibody 2009 ? (Both 85 Watts)

    Hi,
    Can i use the Power Adapter off my Aluminium MBP 2.5 GHz,15" intel core 2 Duo (MacBookPro4,1), with the new Unibody 15" 2.66 GHz(MacBookPro5,1)?
    They are both 85 Watts.
    The Power adapter for Aluminium is :
    Input : 100-240V - 1,5A 50-60Hz
    Output : 16,5-18,5V, 4,6 A Max
    Delta Eletronic
    The Power Adapter for Unibody is :
    Input : 100-240V - 1,5A 50-60Hz
    Output : 18,5V 4,6A, 16,5V, 3,6A
    LiteOn Technology
    Thanks for The Lights.

    That's correct, I meant to type 85W.
    Can anyone advise what the impact will be of using older 85W adapters with the new MBP's that come with a 60W adapter?
    Is there a shorter battery life in the long-term, or is the new battery designed to cope the same with either of these power adapters?

  • Can I use an iPad 2 snap on back cover with the new iPad??

    I will be buying the new ipad and i wonder whether an ipad 2 clear back cover can work with the new ipad...because its so early there wont be any ipad "3" back covers around

    its in 0.6mm not 0.7inches
    link: http://9to5mac.com/2012/03/07/the-new-ipad-has-10-hour-battery-life-is-0-6mm-thi cker-and-0-67lbs-heavier/
    so 0.6mm is not significant if your using folio, leather, or silicon cases. Just not those form fitted hard covers, it will scratch it especially if you have a full body protector like invincible shielf, this will add additional 1.0+ mm to it.

  • Is it possible to use SCOM 2012 R2 with the new Azure Managment Pack to monitor Aure Wadlog Events for azure sdk 2.5

    My operations team has been using MOM 2007 and has recently migrated to SCOM 2012 R2.
    Till now we are using Monitoring Pack management packs which were released way earlier (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11324),
    and had a dependency on diagonstics connection string being present in the cscfg of Azure package.
    This pack was allowing us to monitor the wad logs and events generated by applications.
    However we plan to move to newer Azure managemen pack (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38414), which allows for discoverability.
    I have 2 questions -
    Is it possible to monitor Diagonstics Event Log with the new Monitoring Pack released on 10/2014 ? Or will the users still require the earlier pack for monitoring diagnostics installed in parallel ?
    Azure SDK 2.5 got rid of diagonstics connection string. Is there any possible way to Monitor of Azure Diagonstics wadlogs using SCOM 2012 R2
    Thanks,
    Pratush

    Hi Pratush,
    I would like to suggest you go through the management pack guide to get details. And you should be able to create custom monitor to monitor event logs for Azure.

  • How will it be possible to to use a firewire external with the new iMac

    I see the new iMac has four USB 3 ports and two Thunderbolt ports.
    I have numerous FW 800 externals I use for back up, Time Machine and so forth (many are less than a year old and were not inexpensive).
    When I get a new iMac, what will be the process or procedure to use one or more of those Firewire externals with the new iMac?

    Try http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A
    This Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter should do it for you.

  • Using my existing HD with the new iMac's USB 3.0

    Hi,
    I’m planning on buying the new iMac as soon as it comes out but I noticed that it doesn’t have any USB 2.0 ports and I was wondering if I would be able to use my existing external hard drives since they are USB 2.0.
    Will I be able to use my existing USB 2.0 HD with the new iMac using the USB 3.0?
    Thanks a lot

    Yes. USB 3.0 can be used by devices and connections from USB 2.0  

  • Problem In using Nokia PC Suite with the new Nokia...

    My Nokia Ahs 310 is a new phone I bought and I tried with it to connect internet through my PC using Nokia PC Suite. But, when I connect phone to the PC it tells that it can't find the drivers and install the new device. And in someyimes in Nokia PC Suite it showed as "connected in non compatible USB".
    However I can't log into internet using my Nokia Asha 310. Please help me in this regard. 

    scoobyman, I think KRNS tries to use his Nokia 310 as modem for his computer. Consequently, no Wi-Fi involved.

    This does not affect the Nokia 310 but only Nokia Asha 501, Nokia 301, Nokia 210, and the Nokia 206 – because my Nokia 310 works with Nokia Suite and PC Suite perfectly. Furthermore, The Nokia 301 was tested with the PC Suite successfully. Same for the Nokia 206. Success reports for the Nokia 210 are still missing.

    install the latest Nokia Suite. This install the latest Connectivity Cable Driver automatically. Then
    install the latest PC Suite (I like its modem handling more)
    Nokia 310 » SIM Manager » choose SIM1 (at least for data)
    PC Suite » Menu » File » Connect to the Internet
    Works here with my Nokia 310, just tested for you. However, I was not able to use SIM2 for the computer. If neither PC Suite nor Nokia Suite worked for you, please say so!

  • Should I update my 4s? With the new update

    Should I do the new updat I just got my 4s a week or so ago and I didn't want it to screw my phone up

    No new update has been released for the 4S in the last 4 weeks.
    What version of iOS is on the device currently?
    Installing iOS updates does not "screw up" devices.
    Making assumptions of what will happen based on what is posted in these forums is simply silly.  That would be like assuming the entire world is sick because a hospital ER is full of sick people.

  • How does adobe apps looks with the new retina display macbook?

    I'ver heard that it gets so blurry that you cant even read the text. I use adobe creative suite 6 production premium. does the video inside apps like adobe after effect play in "retina" quality? is there anything I can do to make it not blurry if it will look blurry?

    I frequent the CS6 forums - particularly Photoshop - and most users are quite happy using CS6 products on MBP-R using the 'best for Retina resolution option. I have yet to hear someone say that they apps are unusable, etc. People are just waiting for Adobe to announce Photoshop for Retina display, as shown at the June Apple WWDC.
    There's really nothing out there to replace the CS6 apps with - I think that you'll be fine with them. If you're anxious about it, just don't buy the Retina - buy a 2012 MBP with the HD anti-glare screen.
    I assume that it will be several years before applications are updated for Retina - if at all.
    Check out some of the CS6 Adobe forums to read what MBP-R owners have to say - I've not read that many complaints.
