Wear and tear around where the screen is connected to the body

I have a mac book pro,, and recently I noticed some wear and tear in the area where the screen is connected to the body,, represented by discoloration in the material on both sides at the exact location where the screen plastic connects inside the almunim body. I was wondering whether I should be worried,, and if it is something to worry about would my appeal care cover it?

If it is just at the bottom of the screen surround on the rubber part, I would not be concerend. You can remove it with a damp Qtip, turn your MBP off and be gentle and you can get the dirt off. If you have concerns, take to Apple you have Applecare.

Do just that. Connect it iTunes and restore it as it appears there is a software issue with the device.

No audio when the screen is connected to the keyboard base

On my HP Split x2, I have no audio when the screen is connected to the keyboard base. The audio only plays when the screen is detached by itself. Sometimes I can get audio when the screen is connected and at a 30 degree angle from the keyboard.

Hi @ccc9123
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
From the problem you describe with the audio it sounds like a hard ware issue with the connection. I would recommend contacting phone support at 800-474-6836.

Have you tried putting the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097 ?

Is there an on-screen touch feature that can be purchased to save wear and tear on the home/escape button?

Is there an on-screen touch feature for iPad 2 that will save wear and tear on the home/escape button? If so, what's it called and where can I buy it?

And if you are running iOS 5, you can enable Multitasking Gestures in the General settings. This enables you to quit out of an app by just pinching with four or five fingers. That saves a lot of use of the Home button.
Regards.

My track pad seems to have lost its strong "click" feel. Is this wear and tear or is there some way I can adjust it to feel the "click" more?

downgrading is not supported by Apple and doing so has the potential to brick your device. so, you can't. if you have feed back for the new iOS you can provide that here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Mini DVI Broken (Wear and Tear?)

I've been pushing my mid-2007 Mac around for a while and I think its startting to sputter out. Whereas I have other computers I'd like to make my Mac run as long as possible before it goes kaput completely. For instance, its monitor screen is completely broken and unusable. To keep it going, I've been attaching it through a Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter to a AOC 23" LCD screen for a while. This has been a suitable replacement until recently. I plug in the adapter, the screen powers up normally, working perfectly for about a second, the computer eminates a high pitched ringing noise, and then the screen goes out as if unconnected unable to read the adapter at all. I'm near certain this problem is with the computer's Mini DVI port and not the adapter or screen. I've tried two adapters and connected the screen to other things. Same problem with other adapters and the screen works with other things. Can it be fixed? Overly costly? Is it possible that the problem is something else? I have literally no screen here so I have only the hardware availible to me at the moment, making things difficult.

Hello ewfelton
It is very possible that the DVI port on the iMac has been damaged from wear and tear, as it's harder to get at than the MacBook.
I would disconnect everything from the iMac, grab a clean towel and turn it face down on the desk. Then with a magnifying glass and light inspect the DVI port for a broken or bent pin. In the process of inspecting the port your SMC will also be reset, follow the instruction for "How to reset the System Management Controller" when your done.
If the port seems OK and the SMC reset doesn't get it going use Disk Utility to Repair Disk Premissions and try it again.
Your local Apple Store or local Apple Service Provider can replace a bad or damaged DVI port.

Mini-DVI port not working: wear and tear?

I had been happily using the mini-DVI port to play content on TV, using a DVI to Video adapter : plugging and unplugging probably twice a week.
Now it seems to have stopped, abruptly: no signal at all is reaching the TV. (Adapter still works fine on my MacBook.)
What are the chances of wear and tear damaging the DVI port? Is this a complicated fix? Any other thoughts? No recent upgrades or updates.
"About this Mac" reckons it's mirroring fine, so it feels like a hardware thing. Many thanks in advance.

Whenever i start my macbook pro the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it for hours.

When i turn on my macbook a box appears telling me i need to restart my computer (in different languages) and in order to do so i have to press on the off button for a lil while. Even after doing this the same box appears and it never restarts correctly. This box appears every single time. I rarely turn my computer off. I just place it on sleep mode and restarts it only when i get prompted to. I brought it to genius and they couldnt figure out what the problem is so i was told it needed to be shipped to get fixed. I didnt have anything backed up. All i want saved are the pictures because i went to 2 events where i was the assigned photographer and i didnt get to save it to an external memory. Genius said that when shipped i cant give instructions like make sure to save the pictures and if they are unable to, call me if they should go on with the process. I was wishful thinking that to fix the problem they might not even have to touch the pictures memory part. I brought my MBP back home hoping it will miraculously starts and id be able to back it up but now all it does when i turn it on is the screen remains gray with the apple symbol and the circle timer below. The screen stays this way even if i leave it on for hours. Please help me fix this!!! cant i really specify to the technicians at apple to please make sure not to erase the pictures? Is there no other way to turn on my mac? I only need it to work ones.

There is no limit to the number of times you can re-install Office on the same computer.

Whenever I try to use my macbook, it will work for about 10 min. then the screen will go black, the computer will not respond to my commands, and I have to restart it. Can anyone tell me what's going on, and how to fix it? Thank you!!!

Hello everyone, like most people on this site, I am having difficulties understanding and fixing my Macbook Pro. About a month ago my computer screen went black, the computer was unresponsive, and it started making a beeping noise. I restarted the computer, and it seemed to have fixed itself. 6 days ago, I put my laptop into it's case with some papers, went home (about 30 min. after putting laptop into case), and opened my bag. My computer's fans were on, the computer was really hot, and when I opened the computer, the screen was black and unresponsive. I turned it off, let it cool down, turned it back on, started to stream a video on Hulu, and about ten minutes after, the screen went black again and the computer was unresponsive. Now everytime I turn it on after about ten to fifteen minutes the screen will go black, the computer will become unresponsive, and I have to shut it off. The weird thing though is that everytime I restart my computer, when I reopen my account, my computer acts as if nothing has happened, and everything I had opened or unsaved is still there without autosave saving the documents.The screen also goes black and the computer becomes unresposive when I move the computer around. I get a lot of pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet. I don't know if one of those pop-up websites might have given me a virus or may be the cause of this problem. I don't now what is wrong with my computer or how to fix it, but if anyone has any advice, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!!!! Thank you very much!!!
-- Sincerely, A very confused, scared, and hopless Macbok Owner

To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

I have a 3rd generation iPad running iOS7.0.2, and since updating to iOS7, it will not mirror to an AppleTV. The devices will connect, but the video monitors show only a blank screen. The AppleTV's work fine with various other iOS & OSX devices. Ideas?

I have three AppleTV's where I work. I have two at home. I have an iPhone 4S running iOS7.0.2 which mirrors smoothly via AirPlay. I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and a 2011 iMac, both running Mountain Lion, both of which mirror smoothly through AirPlay. I have a 3rd generation iPad running iOS7.0.2, and since updating to iOS7, it will not mirror. The iPad will connect to the AppleTV, but the TV's and projectors only show a black screen when connected: the iPad screen looks as it should, except that the transitions become jumpy when connected via AirPlay. This is true on both networks: at home and at work. Another gentleman using the network where I work has the most recent iPad, also running iOS7.0.2, and he is having the same problem. I have tried to "Reset All Settings." I have tried to "Restore." Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone else experience difficulty mirroring the iPad through AirPlay since the release of iOS7.0.2?

No problems exists with the router (on either network described above) or the multiple AppleTV's which are able to mirror multiple other OSX & iOS devices seamlessly. The problem is strictly with the iPad and iOS7.

This is an iOS 7 AirPlay mirroring bug...
To make matters worse, the iPad automatically drops its mirroring session 45 seconds after it auto-locks.
3-4 mirroring sessions is all it takes for the iPad mirroring to freeze up.
After this happens, mirroring to an Apple TV only projects a blank screen.
Once the mirroring is hung, the only way to fix it is to restart the iPad.
Apple please fix this iOS 7 issue!

What is normal does wear and tear look like on a mac book charger

My childs school is charging us $80 to replace her charger that stopped working and stated it was her fault it stopped working. It was a bit frayed at the top but that's it. The charger was 2 years old when she received it.

have a picture?
80% of wear and tear you cant see ,which is twisting the cable up on the charger and bending it over and over and ruining the copper feeds running thru the rubber coating over the PVC coated sheaths of the copper wire
So, looking at it often doesnt tell a whole lot.
if the wires under the rubber look very coiled and twisted, that would be abuse

Bootcamp rebooting...wear and tear

Hi all,
I'm now 2 weeks into my new macbook pro (i am a PC switcher), and still lovin it. I just wanted to get people's opinions on something.
I have installed XP using bootcamp for the sole purpose of playing a few games and using 1 online app that requires IE. Other than that, I'm strictly OS X Leopard.
What are your opinions of the wear and tear on the computer from having to reboot from one OS to another constantly. Constantly being like once a day or once every 2 days. My profession is in electronics, more specifically single board computers used in wireless telecom infrastructure. So i am fairly knowledgeable in this area. I know that "soft" boots are no big deal. As no power is removed from the board. It's just a reset signal to every part on the board. However the stuff i work on doesn't have a harddrive or any mechanical parts like a "computer" does.
Everytime you reboot the harddrive stops spinning and then restarts along with the optical drive possibly right?
So chime in please. What's your opinion?

If it were a problem, Apple would have never made Boot Camp.
It is not a problem at all.
I have been doing it for months without any issues.
