MacBook :: Oversensitive "A" Key - Slight Touch

Feb 6, 2009

Just got the new 2.4 MB out of the box, started to register and discovered a rather annoying glitch: an over-sensitive 'a' key. The slightest touch is enough to set it off, I mean a feather touch, nowhere near a full key punch. Makes typing a real paaaaaaain. Anyways, rest of the keyboard works fine, so I figure gotta be a wonky contact. Checked out a few help forums and videos. Tried propping it up with the stiff paper trick. Still no dice. Popped the key lid off, exercised the plaaastic connector bit, which seemed fine. However, the rubber/silicon 'nipple' (the impact point) was also extremely sensitive. Moving swiftly along and ignoring the reams of 'sensitive nipple' comments, I popped off another key to compare. No sensitive nipple issues there. Now the question: what to do, what to do? Tried the Mac store, they kindly offered to take it off my hands for three weeks. Seems a bit much for one measly key.

Jan 6, 2010

I just got a new 13" MBP. I noticed that there is slight vibration on the right palm rest. I know that the hard disk is located under there but is this normal? Do any of you 13" MBP owners with stock 5400rpm drive feel the subtle vibration in your MBPs?

MacBook Pro :: Slight Peeling On Bottom Right Side

Nov 13, 2009

I am a proud owner of an Apple Macbook Pro 15 inch since Feb 2009. I am a converted user from PC to MAC and preach the benefits of Apple OS X et al to colleagues, friends and family. This morning I noticed some slight peeling on the bottom right side (near trackpad) of my Macbook Pro. At first I did not realise what it was, I thought it might be some surface marking / dust. I wiped the area with a dry cloth at which point a small part of the surface came away. Here is a link showing images that I have just taken. Need some constructive advice from the forum on what to do?

MacBook Pro :: Gives Slight Electrical Shock When Charging?

When the Macbook Pro is charging, I can feel a little electricity in my fingertips. Unfotunately, I don't have a three prong outlet, just two. Either way, I think this was not supposed to be.

MacBook :: Slight Clicking Sounds Coming From Side

Oct 7, 2009

I bought this computer (Macbook Aluminum 2.4 GHz - currently running Snow Leopard) last October - my warranty ends Oct. 16th. Anyways, I put a disc in the drive earlier today, and the computer took it right away. That was unusual because half the time it doesn't wanna take the disc (someone at the genius bar assured me all of these Aluminum Macbooks are this way). So continuing with my story, I took the disc out when I was done and I heard slight clicking noises coming from the side where you put discs in. I closed the computer because I thought it would stop it, reopened it, and it was still doing it. So then I restarted it, and I didn't hear it. Now I'm hearing it every so often.

MacBook Pro :: 15" Zagg Invisishield Pictures And Slight?

May 29, 2010

I just got my first mac and its a MacBook Pro 15" i7 HR-AG and wanted to protect it and so I purchased a Zagg Invisishield for it. I also paid $20 for the installation ontop of the purchase to get it professionally installed...as I was looking into the details I noticed that the pieces are not properly cut out for the MBP 15" and are off leaving the edges unprotected from scratches. Disappointing because the edges will be most prone to scratches. Here are some pictures of my New MBP and Zagg Invisishield installed....

Also Zagg Invisishield owners is your cut out a little off too or did I end up with a bad one?

MacBook Air :: Slight Flickering Only On Dark Grey On External Display?

Sep 12, 2010

I have a 28" inch display attached to newest version of Air. Works ok except when I have a full screen on plain dark grey background, then I see a waviness or flickering effect. Like the dark grey in Iphoto background. Other than this, the other colors seems ok. Pictures are fine, even when dark. Maybe there's a slight flickering with dark blue. Any explanations for this.
using mini display port to dvi. Tried with a friends dual link display, was a little different, but still unstable looking in dark grey when it fills the screen.

Could it be just what it takes to make this color, or the Hertz, which is 60. Other than this, no problem with the screen.

MacBook Pro :: Slight Vibrations When Media Played On Loud Volume

Aug 14, 2010

I'm starting to feel vibrations and some kind of "staticky" sound when I play any videos or music near or at loudest volume. Could it be possibly due to a loose screw? I noticed that on the bottom of my notebook, one screw seems to be slightly looser than the others.

MacBook Pro :: Clicking Noise When Slight Pressure Applied Near (not Just On) Trackpad

Jun 1, 2014

I just bought a refurbished Macbook Pro and after less than a week, I've just started detecting a sort of soft clicking noise when my palms make soft contact with the area near the trackpad. It's not the trackpad clicking, which is a distinct noise.

MacBook Pro :: Hinge Started To Develop Creaking Sound / Slight Bulge Between Bezel And Screen

Dec 12, 2009

Mine is bulging out at the bottom of the screen, right by that area that gets burning hot when you are plugged in or are on the 9600m gt--right where is says "Macbook Pro".

I noticed that the hinge started to develop a creaking sound when I opened and closed the lid. So I investigated to see if there were any cracks in the hinge. What I found was that if you look at the space between the bezel and the screen, there is a slight (very slight) bulge right by the wording "Macbook pro". If you press down on it, it moves--unlike the rest of the bezel.

Anyone else notice this? I am pretty sure it is caused by the heat in that area. That is a really poor design.

Mac Pro :: Slight Buzzing Noise Around Power Socket

Nov 2, 2008

The power socket at the back of the mac pro makes a kind of buzzing noise. Only for a short amount of time though. I have have never heard this before as it isnt that loud at all, and only cam across it by chance. I kind of figured out that it might be the electrical current.

Mac Pro :: Does Your 2008 MP Give A Slight Electrical Humming Noise?

Apr 14, 2009

..by the power unit at the back of the machine - where the power cord goes in.

I happened to be switching out displays at the back of my MP today. Could hear the fan at the lower back portion of the machine (as normal). but this time could also hear a very slight electrical hum just by the power unit -- is this normal (the hum) does yours have this hum?

I never heard it before. guess my head was never that close to it when the MP was on the floor. but since i moved it to the top of the desk my head is closer to it when I switch out the DVI ports

Trying not to be obsessive. I'll run before the white coats turn up by the front door

PowerPC :: IMac G3 Monitor - Slight Red Color On Right Side And Light Colored Box On Screen

Sep 24, 2006

I just got an IMac G3 running OS X and OS 9.2.2. I am having monitor problems with it, the monitor has a slight red color on the right side and if there is a light colored box on the screen I get almost a run effect going to the right. This happens in OS X Tiger with all the updates, OS 9.2.2. I also have all the firmware updates, an external monitor looks great.

IMac :: When 27" In Sleep Mode Or Turned Off/slight Crackling Electrical Noise?

May 4, 2010

When the computer is sleeping or if I turn it off but the plug remains in the electrical socket, when I get very close to the machine I hear a slight crackling noise, as if the internal adaptor is making a slight noise. I don't hear it from any normal distance, and other than the buzzing phenomenon when brightness is below 50%, no other symptom. Is this normal for this model. I believe that the external adaptor for the 30" ACD made a louder but similar noise as well unless unpluged.

Mar 22, 2009

I've been looking all over the internet for a way to get my HTC Touch pro to sync with my mac's entourage. My mac isn't registering the phone when i attach it, but it recognizes my old phones mini sd card.

I don't mind buy one of the programs like MissingSync, but i want to make sure its going to work before I purchase it.

I've tried syncmate's trial and it is on my computer, but it tells me to plug the phone in even when it is plugged in already.

MacBook Pro :: Spaces With Multi Touch?

Sep 2, 2009

I have started using spaces quite a bit recently and I'm not a huge user of expos�. I was wondering if there was a way to change the 4 fingered swipe to switch between spaces? So swiping 4 fingers up would go to the space above and similar actions with left, right and down.

MacBook Air :: Touch Screen With Dual OS?

Jun 29, 2010

Would it be cool to have dual-OS on the Macbook Air with Touch Screen? Apple is withholding any news from their Mac lineup update, I agree with this post about the likelihood of hybrid Macs in the near future. Apple surely wants the iAD readership expand?

MacBook Pro :: Not Recognizing New Ipod Touch?

Aug 1, 2010

So i decided not to sell my free ipod touch, however my mbp won't recognize that i've plugged the ipod touch in. I spoke on the phone with applecare and was able to restore the touch but neither the laptop or itunes will even recognize it's there. However, applecare is closed now and i would really like to be able to use it for work tomorrow.

I know my usb ports work, i've tried 3 different cables, tried restarting the touch , the ipod touch charges but since it's new the startup screen telling me to plug it into the computer, is all i can access on the touch. I just updated itunes and restarted my mbp and still nothing.
