Upon opening my display, the hinge clicks...help?

I'm really starting to get nervous. I got my new 17" Macbook Pro in very late August. I just noticed this today, because I don't ever recall it happening. But when I open my display from being closed, the hinge clicks. The click occurs on the left side of the hinge when its pretty much making a right angle with the keypad. And if I open the display all the way then it clicks on both sides. These clicks sound small, but are pretty noticeable...I can't feel the click in the display, but again they are very noticeable. The clicks sound like a small hitch snapping into place, or un-snapping. It sounds both like a click or a snap, it doesn't sound normal. I haven't experienced anything wrong with how my computer functions (although it connected to my schools wireless, but the internet wasn't working, that's unrelated to the computer I believe...). It seems to occur more noticeably when its on my desk rather than on my lap. I don't know what it could be! I don't know what to do about it, or if its even a problem. Maybe I'm just paranoid? Any help?

there have been several posts here from several people who have had hinges adjusted in similar circumstances, Ralstyy.
If it worries you, given that you are well within warranty, take it in to your nearest Apple service provider to get checked out.

Acrobat Pro XI crashes upon opening after downloading CC. Please Help?

Hi PgrimshawMVP,
You can try this. Not sure if this will definitly help but I hope this should:
Delete the following preferences folders:
a) ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/
b) ~/Library/Caches/Acrobat/
c) ~/Library/Caches/Acrobat/
d) ~/Library/Preferences/Acrobat Distiller Prefs
e) ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe/
Here ~ represents your home directory. Empty your trash, Restart the machine and then start the Acrobat.
Thanks!

I have downloaded video in MP4 from my GoPro camera, but I cannot open and view the video. Help please.

I have downloaded video from my GoPro helmet camera to my iPad 1 photos, but i cannot open and view the MP4 file. Please help.

Yeah, just as said above, you need to convert it to iPad supported video formats first and then sync it back to the iPad.
Chek the iPad Supported Video and Audio Formats first.

This is a user to user Discussion; you'll have to contact the developer for help.

Why is it necessary that, every time I open Firefox to Google, it displays the Search | Firefox Help" tab and the "Start Now" tab. These are redundant and not wanted. How can I eliminate them?

I don't know what more details could be needed to respond to this simple question. It is a nuisance to have the help window when there is a help tab and "Start Now" may be some people favorit search engine but not mine.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

How to display the tooltip or help-Text on the QBE textbox inside the tables.

Hi team
I have a requirement like Whenever the user press the QBE button of the panelCollection the text box gets displayed above the columns, now we want to show either helpText over those textboxes. It could be either mouseover or any type of event. Is it possible ?
P.s. I m using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.4
Thanks
Zoran

It's pretty easy. Here's a little example that reads a file, stores it in a string, and prints it to the command line.
import java.io.*;
public class OpenFile {
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          try {
               File fileToOpen = new File("something.txt");
               FileReader fileIn = new FileReader(fileToOpen);
               BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fileIn);
               String fileContent = new String();
               String line;
               while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                    fileContent += line + "\n";
               System.out.println(fileContent);
               br.close();
          catch (IOException e) {
               System.out.println("Exception: " + e);
}Good luck,

My Safari is not opening most of the pages/websites -- help?

Hey guys,
My Safari does not seem to open a lot of websites like Yahoo, Adfly, Youtube and may more websites but sites like Gmail.com and google and stuff open. I don't get an error I've taken a screenshot (via grab) to show you what exactly I'm dealing with -- its below. It just shows me a white page.
My Internet seems to be working 100% fine with 0% Packet Loss. Also, these pages open perfectly on Chrome and Firefox which are also installed on my Mac.
FYI: I'm using a MacBook Pro 15 inch Late 2013 with 10.9.4 OS X.
Thank you,
Graham Miranda

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

APP CRASH in 7.0 upon Opening Organizer and Editor - Vista - Help!

When I open my Photoshop Elements 7.0 Organizer, the pictures load and then I get a message that the program is closing due to APP CRASH.
Any ideas why this may be happening? Is there a limit on the number of photos in a catalog? I can't imagine that I am over the limit on this. We have gone through several troubleshooting recommendations including reinstalling the program and it is still crashing upon opening. Now the Editor is crashing too! Any ideas? Thanks!

Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Organizer might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash. Here are troubleshooting steps to try:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Troubleshooting_Organiz er_crashes
Given that both the Organizer and the Editor are crashing, start with step 4, installing the licensing-service update, and if that doesn't help, try the others. Even if you think you've tried something similar, repeat the step exactly as described.

On my iPad some of my album covers simply show a question mark and do not display the cover

I know this is probably some issue from downloading, but the covers used to show and it is only a select amount of album covers that display the "?" Any help? Thanks!

Try contacting Support in your country, after confirming your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset its password.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've done that update the primary email address on the account to be an account that you have access to e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com

My ipod is displaying the itunes logo and a usb cord. I've tried reseting it but I can't get it so do anything!

My ipod is displaying the itunes logo and a usb cord. I've tried resetting it but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

Your in DFU mood do this:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Follow these steps to perform a recovery-mode restore on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You may need to perform a recovery-mode restore if you experience any of the following situations on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device:
Displays the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar for over ten minutes.
Restarts but never displays the Home screen.
Is no longer recognized in iTunes after an update or restore did not complete.
Automatically goes into recovery mode after having an issue while installing an update or performing a regular restore.
How to perform a recovery-mode restore
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is already showing the "Connect to iTunes" screen, please go to step 5.
Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you see the Connect to iTunes screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, follow these troubleshooting steps if you're using a Mac, or these steps for Windows computers.
Additional Information
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup.
