Wondering if people have had any good/bad experiences with cooling pads. I plan to use this for some moderate gaming and I feel like it would be a worthy investment to get one of these, both for noise and for longevity.
MacBook Pro :: Replacement Feet / Pads For 13" Unibody?
Mar 17, 2010so one of the rubbery feet things on the bottom of my MBP decided to fall off at one point, meaning that there's a conveniently sizeable hole for dust to find its way into should it decide to :P I booked an appointment with my local Genius bar (Glasgow Store) and they didn't have the feet in at the time.... and all they could do was replace the whole back plate for ?25 + VAT :S which i wasn't expecting tbh, and resulted in a wasted trek from Edinburgh to get there!

How Come Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard's system requirements are higher than Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard's if it has a lower footprint and makes everything run smoother?
How come after every new Mac OS X the system requirements are higher than the previous version?

MacBook Pro :: Glass Display Falling Off?
May 2, 2010I have a refurb. MacBook Pro 15" Unibody (2009 model) and the glass display appears to be 'falling off.' A space can be seen between the glass and the rubber strip near the camera at the top of the display. This computer has spent most of the time I've had it on my desk. I take good care of this expensive baby, and I can ensure I caused no damage to it. I got it in January.
The nearest Apple store for me is 80 miles away. I can't be without the computer for much time at all, but I want this fixed. It's unlikely Apple will be eager to send me an entire new computer (I always have everything backed up), but that's what I want to do. I've read somewhere that Apple will email a shipping label and send out a replacement as soon as the package is shipped.
Maybe I can psychologically manipulate them? Does anyone have any ideas on convincing them?
I don't know what to do. I hope Apple doesn't have me send it in and just shoot some adhesive under the glass and tell me it's good. I guess replacing the lid would be sufficient too. I just need this computer for work and I simply can't go without it.
MacBook Pro :: MBP Charger Falling Out Of Wall?
May 12, 2010Is just bought a Macbook Pro on Craigslist; it came with the square, white wall charger. The problem is, when I plug the charger into an outlet, it falls out. I've had to literally tape the charger to the wall to keep it in the outlet.

Apr 11, 2010I have a early 2009 17 inch Macbook Pro. I usually have the laptop connected to an external monitor with the lid closed.
When the lid is closed, the laptop somtimes becomes very noisy, especially when using heavy applications.
That is why I am thinking of buying an external cooling pad.
Will that help? And if so, which cooling pad would you advise?
Mac Pro :: Keyboard Gel Pads - Does Anyone Use One
Feb 15, 2008I've been a Microsoft ergonomic keyboard user for 3 years now. I just got my Mac Pro a few days ago. I cannot get over how beautiful the new aluminum keyboards are, but they're also uncomfortable. My wrists and fingers ache. I guess I'm used to more key travel and such, I will adjust, but I think I need some support. [URL] Does anyone else have any aches/pains from the new keyboard?

MacBook Pro :: 13'' (mid 2010) Falling Asleep Directly After Boot?
Apr 17, 2012It seems to stuck in Clamshell mode? External Display, Keyboard, Power -> MBP working!
But without it's just sleeping. Internal display isn't detected then. Have installied 10.7.3 Lion + All EFI Upgrades.
Zapping PRAM and SMC had no effect. Also deleting the power management prefs using single user mode had no effect. I am able to wake it up for short without external display - but 5-10 secs later it is sleeping again.Â
MacBook Pro :: Partition On SSD Broken After Falling Into Sleep When Battery Dies?
Apr 4, 2012I have a mid2009 MacBook Pro 15" 2.8 Ghz with an 1TB in the main bay and a Verbatim 128GB SSD in my optibay. I also upgraded my RAM to 2x 4GB. It runs the latest Lion version.
Here is my problem:Â
When I work on my battery and there's no power left, it automatically shuts down. Right? The sleep/wake light lights until the battery is out of power. If I then try to reboot, the Apple and a loading-bar appear which shows that it is recovering the previous session so that I can continue where I left (right?).
The problem is that it fails at 1/3rd of the bar and the screen goes black. After resetting PRAM and the other resettable things, it still won't boot on that partition.
I tried to repair from an external Lion installation drive, my second partition (which also runs lion) and from the Recovery HD (of both partitions). I always get the same problem (see picture).Â
This is happening to me all the time. After several reboots i can acces my files again, but I still can't boot from my partition because it fails loading my last session. It certainly isn't the disks fault because I can boot from the other partition on that very same disk w/o any problems. Right now I'm trying to make an identical copy with Disk Utility (as described by Apple). Â
My question now is: Can I repair the partition by any means without reformating it (as I did the last times)?
Furthermore: Can I just disable the function that tries to backup/restore my last session so that my MBP just shuts down or does a hard shutdown when the battery dies? Â
PS: My Time Machine drive is at the moment not available, so I couldn't backup in a while, I need the files.
OS X :: Mac Keeps Falling Asleep
Sep 6, 2010I came into work today to find our server asleep. Our server is on an old G4 tower. We usually keep this running 24/7 to allow for remote access, but for the last 2 weeks we have set up a scheduled shutdown over the weekend to try to keep the server fresh and clean - bad idea!
Every 18 seconds or so, the machine goes to sleep. The monitor goes black (with a green flashing light on) and the tower goes dead silent and displays a glowing power button. Moving the mouse or pressing a key restores everything where we left off, but 18 seconds later, puff, its gone again.
We managed to get in and turn of the scheduled shutdown but this hasn't resolved the issue.
Whenever the screen is on we can access the server (not email) but as soon as it goes to sleep, we get kicked off the server.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: G5 Falling Into Sleep Randomly?
Feb 19, 2006i have an imac g5 that has been falling into sleep randomly at times. the first time this happened was when i tried playing the Nanosaurs game that came with the computer. i played for 10 or 15 minutes before it went into sleep mode, and then when i woke it up and tried playing again it would fall back into sleep right away. i havent used that game recently, but it has also fell into sleep while using the dvd rippng program handbrake. it has also fallen into sleep while running other programs, though i do not specifically remember which. after it falls asleep, and after i wake it back up, it often falls right back into sleep mode and i need to close most programs to get it to stay awake. it came with 256 mem and i added another 512 months ago. i dont know if that has anything to do with it but thats the only mod ive made so the rest is just stock.

May 10, 2012My macbook pro warranty ended in December. since I bought it i've had major problems with the display. This is my 4th screen. it's literarlly falling off - as in I can see the camera from the inside that was like last month - now the everything left of the camera comes lose... can look down and see whats between the "glass". it's like the screen is held together with adhesive which isn't strong enough any longer... everything from the right side of the camera is still sticking but I just want to keep it together until the new macbook pros come out or september for back to school specials....Â
I have the unibody verison from 2009 the one with the removable battery. I just feel like something I spent over 2k for should hold together a little better than this?Â

OS X :: Font Aliasing On New NEC Display / Fonts Not Falling On Pixels?
Oct 26, 2007just purchased an NEC Spectraview LCD2690WUxi2 display (1920x1600 26" LCD SIPS panel), and fonts are aliasing strangely, almost as if they are not falling "on the pixel" in the OS. It's not a "big" problem but is clearly noticeable in my transition from my 23" cinema display. This is particularly evident with small fonts or italics. I'm really hoping that there are settings either in OSX or on the display that can fix this issue. Images look absolutely fantastic BTW�tack sharp, no banding, phenomenal color. In that respect this blows my old 23" Apple display completely out of the water. So it's likely something in the OS, no

Mar 19, 2009I'm looking for a few good ways to transport and use my UMB. I figure buying a hardshell case & a timbuk2 bag seem like a good combo. Question is - which do you guys think is better, the Speck or Incase cases? Anyone have any experiences? I had the Incase hardshell for my old whitebook.
Seemed to work out alright. The other option I thought of was getting the invisible shield. Anyone have any thoughts?

May 24, 2012I came back from work to wake up my iMac. It made the noise but the screen stayed black. I tried restarting by holding the power button- I can hear it start and the chime but still have a black screen. I tried resetting the pram, and unplugging the cord but I still get a black screen. I can hear the chime though; I'm not sure if that means anything. I just had the hard drive replaced in February so I hope it's not that. just wanted to clarify that when I restart, I get the chime but the screen stays black- I don't get to the grey screen. So I'm assuming right now that my display may be shot?

MacBook :: Max RAM Black 2.0 Core 2 Duo?
Jan 12, 2009I know that Apple lists this model as only being able to use 2 GB of RAM and other have reported that it will utilize 3.3 GB RAM if you put 2 x 2 GB chips in it. I first put a 2 GB chip and a 1 GB chip and the "about this mac page" showed 3 GB RAM. I then decided to put 2 x 2 GB chips in and the "about this mac page" shows 4 GB. If it is only utilizing 3.3 GB then would it show 3.3 GB RAM or do I have a freak of nature blackbook?

Dec 13, 2009I have a 2007 santa rose mbp and recently I have been having display issues. Out of nowhere is seems that my display just goes black. You can tell that the screen is still on because of the backlighting; its just the picture that seems to disappear. However, the computer still seems to be working fine. I can remote screen share and use the computer normally as if nothing happened. I have no idea if this is some kind of a hardware or software problem... Can this be an indication of the 8600M GT dying?

It is like the battery is suddenly totally OUT of any power! But, the battery has plenty of charge, and no command or other key stroke nor any other activity that should cause this black screen has been done.
