Why are hp trackpads on the left side of the computer?

i have a dv5000 (made in 2006). the trackpad is centered, equal distance from the left and right sides of the computer. all older models i have found had their trackpads centered.
i was thinking of a new laptop. but on your website, all the models i'm interested in have the trackpad on the left side. i don't mean slightly to the left - one edge of the trackpad lines up precisely with the center, and 100% of the trackpad is to the left of that edge. at bestbuy, it was very awkward for me to reach and use the new hp trackpads, because i am right handed (fun fact: the majority of humans are right handed). to be specific: i type with my right fingers on the right side of the keyboard, so if i want to push the "enter" or "delete" button, i use my right hand, never my left hand; if i plug in a mouse, i place that mouse on the right side of the computer, never on the left side.
so a few questions -
1. are you primarily marketing your laptops toward left-handers?
2. with the new laptops, how long will my right wrist last before i develop carpal tunnel?
3. seriously, can i special order a laptop with the trackpad on the right side?

I think the complaint is valid. My husband is looking for a new laptop and in the 17" displays, the annoying numeric keypad addition has caused you guys to move the track pad off center. Please tell me that HP intends to make 17" laptops without the numeric keypad - please! The off centered placement makes the screen out of symmetry and is distracting. It also makes it awkward if you are typing with the laptop on your lap instead of on a table.

There doesn't seem to be a setting for that. As to why Apple made the change, only they would know.

How to I make pop up windows go back to the left side of the screen when they are moving to the right?

Whenever I click on a link, a new window pops up. That's good, that's what I wanted. They've always opened on the left side of the screen. However, they are now opening in the middle of the screen. This has happened before and the screen eventually opened completely on the right. Last time this happened, I ended up having to delete something. I don't remember what, but it solved the issue. Please help!

Mozilla crashed yesterday and now bookmarks are not showing along the left side of page as they did before. They are on the menu bar but hubby does not like this location. Anyway I can get it back to the left side of the page?

This spring we changed from IE to Mozilla after upgrading to Win 7. Everything has been fine with Firefox until yesterday when it crashed when I attempted to open an email. Since then the bookmarks (or favorites as my husband calls them) have not been in their usual place which was along the left side of the page. They are located in the Bookmarks bar at the top of the page but husband prefers the old IE way which we had until yesterday PM. Is there any way that we can get them back to the left side of the page other than going back to IE? Now that I have gotten used to Firefox I like it just fine.

*You can open the Bookmarks in the sidebar via View > Sidebar > Bookmarks (Ctrl+B)
*You can open the History in the sidebar via View > Sidebar > History (Ctrl+H)
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
You can find toolbar buttons to open the bookmarks (star) and the history (clock) in the sidebar in the toolbar palette and drag them on a toolbar.<br />
Firefox 4 versions and later have two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window.<br />
One star button has a drop marker that open a Bookmark menu.<br />
The other star button without the drop marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar.<br />

It's the part that means you've voided your warranty and the right to get an out-of-warranty replacement from Apple.

TS1702 Why is the icon for street view not showing up on the left side of the location on the maps app?

Why is the icon for street view not showing up on the left side of the location on the maps app?

Because the included Maps app no longer gets the maps data from Google, so no more street view.
You can get a free Google Maps app from the iTunes App Store.

Why do I get a black rectangle on the left side of the screen when I import a clip in Imovie?

I import a clip into imovie 6 and I get a black rectangle on the left side of the screen. It's driving me crazy!

Thanks for the reply.
My original source material is in Apple Intermediate Codec, with 32-bit float audio and a variable frame rate. This has not been friendly to FCP, so I use Quicktime to convert it to Apple ProRes with 24-bit audio and 29.97 frame rate. This is what I import into FCP.
My sequence settings are set to the same specs as my source material. 854x480, square pixels, no field dominance, Apple ProRes compression.
The black bar on the left side of the screen shows up before I even export. It shows up when I render everything.
I am exporting with Quicktime Conversion to:
MP4
h.264 codec
720x405
1000 video bit rate
Main Profile
No cropping/filters or anything.
The ONLY thing I did different before upgrading to FCP6 was that I used Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through. I was told by an FCP instructor that writes and publishes all kinds of FCP training material that I should upgrade to FCP6 and use the Apple ProRes422 Codec instead, so that's what I'm trying to do.
I am going back to restart my project using Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through like I used to, but it will be awhile before I can tell if that solved the problem. Either way, I would like to be using the ProRes codec....
Thoughts?

When I render my video I get a black bar on the left side of the screen

I just upgraded to FCS 2 and so far it's been a complete waste of money. I'm having nothing but problems with FCP, Compressor, and QMaster. I will just post my FCP problem here.
I've edited a weekly video podcast and everything looks great, until I render it and export it. When I render it, I get a constant, solid black bar on the far left of the video that takes up about 5% of the screen. My layers are definitely sized correctly to fill up the entire canvas, and they are all centered. I cannot figure out why I am getting this black bar or how to get rid of it without ditching the upgrade and going back to FCP5.1.
I have already tried completely uninstalling the FCS suite and reinstalling. No luck. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Firefox Doesn't Load Any Website and Scroll Bar Switches to the Left Side of the Screen??

First let me say this is a work computer that I am using, so there is plenty of virus protection and firewall. I have always used firefox for all my casual internet browsing and work network needs. I recently updated to the latest version of firefox and that is when I started having problems. Almost any web page I go to wether it is my work intranet home page or a common site such as google mozilla will not finish loading the page. If I hit refresh or try to go to another site it gets wierd and the scroll bar switches to the left side of the screen and the page seems to be stuck loading. At this point almost nothing responds to any mouse clicks except for closing the firefox window. If I go to tools --> options it brings up a blank options window with only the "ok" and "cancel" buttons displayed. Help please, I don't like using IE, but right now that is my only option.

My macbook pro is probably only 2 months old and there is a buzzing/grinding noise coming from the left side of the laptop every time I open it. It may buzz 5 times in a span of 30 seconds then not make the noise the remaining time that it is open.

My macbook pro is probably only 2 months old and there is a buzzing/grinding noise coming from the left side of the laptop every time I open it. It may buzz 5 times in a span of 30 seconds then not make the noise the remaining time that it is open. I have read that it may have to do with my fan or HD. I am under apple care for a good amount of time but am wondering if this is a mjor issue. I would not be able to get to an apple care center in the near future due to being at school. Should I be worried or will it last by the time I am home in 2 months.

Sounds like the disk in your MBP is accessing data on wake up
If you are still concerned you can take it into the Apple Store where they can hear it to be sure

Move the "X" from the left side to the right side in the Document Name Tab

I just installed CS5 MC for MAC and realized that the "X" to close the file is by default located to the left side of the Document Name in the Tab or Bar rather than to the right when multiple files are open in an application. I haven't checked all the Adobe Apps yet, but found this to be the case so far in AI, PS, ID.
Where do I go in the master or individual app settings to reconfigure the file name/document name tab or bar so the little "X" that closes the file is to the right of the name rather than the left?
I did notice that in many of Deke's Lynda training videos, the "X" was on the left in a few sessions, but most were on the right. Really hope this isn't a MAC/PC centric thing or that it is mandatory to download Deke's custom settings for the fix.
Thanks to anyone with the magic answer!!!
Cheers!

Bob --- Thank you for that very quick response.
Bugger for the unfortunate answer, but thank you for advising/confirming the sad reality.
Sure wish some code would fall from the sky and do a fix or workaround on this so users have the option. I may be one of the few hung up on this, but it sure would be nice.
Seems this is yet another "...centric" reason to use a PC in lieu of a MAC when working with Adobe products these days.
Flip/Flop go the platforms!
Cheers!

The "+" appears on the left side of the open tabs, when I re-open a closed window. The tab that should be first on the left doesn't have a tab!

The "+" appears on the left side of the open tabs, when I re-open a closed window. The tab that should be first on the left when the window is re-opened doesn't have a tab! If all the other tabs are closed, the webpage appears, but still has no tab! If more tabs are then opened, it is again inaccessible without closing all tabs!

In Finder, go command - F. On the top left set "Kind" to Date Created, finish selecting the criteria and hot "Save" on the top right. You'll get a new smart folder with an option to add it to the sidebar.

Noise on the left side of the keyboard?

I have a MacBook Pro and since 2 days ago I'm hearing a noise of the left side of the keyboard.
The noise is constant and it looks like its from the disk. Why it can be? I'm not able to describe the noise but it sounds like the disk working but with a glitch.
Any advice? Thanks
Message was edited by: tiagop

It looks like the sound comes from a external port? Is that possible?
Not unless the sound is coming from somewhere else inside the machine and you hear it when your ear is pressed against the ports. None of the ports ever emit sounds by themselves.
The sound looks like a disk head rolling?
A sound can't be seen, so it can't look like anything.
In rare instances, the CPU and/or GPU can emit noises, and if the noise increases when you begin a download, perhaps that's what is happening in your machine. Take it to an Apple Store or authorized service provider to be evaluated.

set the wake-on lan on the main computer
The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

My iPhone 3GS has dead spots on the left side of the screen, does anyone know how this problem has started or how I can fix this?

Over the past couple of months, my iPhone 3GS has had dead spots on the left side of the screen, preventing me from using the r, d and x keys, the number 4 and the semi colon and comma keys. Does anybody have any ideas on why this has happened or any ideas that I'll be able to fix this problem?
Just a note; I can't put my phone to sleep or turn off as my lock button isn't working, so I'm using the AssistiveTouch settings.
Thanks.

This has no impact on the ability to purchase a new iPhone... it simply means that the newer one will not be at a fully subsidized price.
You could always take it to Apple and do an Out of Warranty exchange (I'm assuming the device is out of warranty) for $149 US.
