Why is the black hinge wearing and cracking away?

The black hinge on my Macbook Pro seems to be cracking and chipping away. It looks like it's just a plastic/paint on the top, but it keeps chipping off, more and more. I have not dropped it. When it is not in use, it is always in a soft case. What should I do? Should I be worried? Any ideas on how this started?

I'm sure their is if you are willing to pay for it. Bring it to your nearest Apple store or AASP for an evaluation/estimate.

Why is the black iPhone 4/4S more durable than the white?

I've owned both a black and a white 4S
The black was much more durable, mine flew out my hand and hit the tap, no damage just a big scratch to the back glass because thats where it hit, but it did make the back loose
I had a white, and it smashed the back like 2 inches off concrete, I'm serious.. That's how fragile they are...

Why is the black iPhone more durable than the white? I never understood that...

Not sure what causes it, but here are your choices:
1) bring it to a 3rd party repair shop and see what they say
2) pay $149 for another replacement
3) do nothing
4) buy a new phone (iPhone or otherwise)
Up to you.

Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

Normally they don't. You might have some sort of problem on your system, possibly a conflict with other software, or corrupt ID prefs or application. Trashing the prefs is easy, and good place to start: Replace Your Preferences
It will help if you tell us the OS version, whther you've installed the 8.0.1 patch, and how you are trying to access the commands, and what happens when you do. Is this isolated to one file, or does it happen with all files?

Why is the support so bad and expensive?

Putting in my serial number of a product that is now useless tells me I'm not covered by the support so I have to pay £25 to have someone call me.
When I put in all my details so I can phone Apple myself I then get given a premium rate number to phone and when I get through I start getting asked the same questiuons I answered online ( to get my case number ) so the call is going to end up costing more than it should. The case number is supposed to make the call quicker.
Why is help so expensive here?
Why can't I just email support?

John Galt, the poster already did that as he said in this discussion. He said:
I'm sure with the millions of dollars Apple make every day they can pay staff for support. Instead of that they create a forum where people can do their work for them for free.
I've posted details about my problem herehttps://discussions.apple.com/message/25581520#25581520

I want to know if the Macbook Pro with the ash key board and as the cd rom infront is more recent than the one with the black key board and as the cd rom on the side.

Hi Tracy,
I'm guessing "ash" is the silver colored keyboard, the same color as the rest of the MBP? If so, that machine, with the optical drive slot on the front, is the older machine.

Why is the quality of movies and pictures exported to the external hard drive lowered?

Why is the quality of movies and pictures exported to the external hard drive lowered?

Are you speaking of manually moving these files, or using an application to export?
When you use the the term "export", it usually entails an application performing some kind of file conversion, rather than a simple transfer. It is during conversion to another file format that information may be lost through lossy compression, or by settings of the export.
Anytime you convert a file to another format, there will usually be some loss or degradation. Tghis can't be helped, as one format may not support every information characteristic the original one did.

Why does the keyboard take over and type c's all across the search box (no hands involved)?

Why does the keyboard take over and type c's across the search box (no hands involved)?

There are only three possibilities. Either a dangling hand hitting the c key, or if you have a bluetooth keyboard connected and something is pressing a key, or you have some bad harware. Eliminate the first two, and if you still have the problem, take it in for service or replacement

Something is gone in Indesign menu. I dont know why, but the «textwrap» is gone and «stroke». How can I fix this?

Something is gone in Indesign menu. I dont know why, but the «textwrap» is gone and «stroke». How can I fix this?

When you switch active Extension Set or enable/disable extension(s), Extension Manager will create/update PluginConfig.txt. InDesign will read this file at launch to determine which extensions (plug-ins) should be loaded or not. If this file doesn't exist, InDesign will load all extensions. Also complicated dependency relationship exists among extensions. I am not sure how these extensions ran into incorrect state.
If sometime you have to use Extension Manager, you have to reset the state BEFORE launch it. Otherwise Extension Manager will recreate this file based on incorrect database records and file state.
1. Delete "Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/Configuration/DB/ExMan.db".
2. Delete all files in "Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/EM Store/InDesign CS6"
3. Delete all files in "Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/Mxi Flag/InDesign CS6"
4. Move all files in "Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/InDesign/Version 8.0/nb_NO/Extensions/REMOVED" to the parent folder "Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/InDesign/Version 8.0/nb_NO/Extensions".

Why is the black MacBook more expensive?

It seems that you could configure a white macbook to have the same exact configuration as the black one, but pay $125 less. Are people really paying $125 just for the black color??

... and people will pay a couple hundred dollars more more to get a CPU chip that has about 10% more processing throughput. 20% price increase for 10% processing gain.
I waited until there were nice price cuts on the 1.83 C2D Macbook as retailers dumped them to make room to stock new SR Macbooks. In daily life, they feel about equal, but I have a bit more money in the bank. True, you get Tiger for the OS now, but it doesn't seem like it is a huge gain over Leopard. By waiting, the 1.83 C2D Macbook was actually a little less expensive than a similar notebook from Dell.
For some people, style trumps function, and that's OK. If you're a sales rep or similar person, where you get brownie points for style, then it makes sense. Also, if you have the money and it makes you feel good, then why not...? You only live once; might as well be happy.
PS: you could buy the cheaper machine and donate your savings to a charity.
