This seems to have started by the nubbins on the upper left and upper right of the screen hammering down on the edge of the keyboard. It's all crackly and little pieces of the top plastic are coming off.
It normally wakes up just fine, but sometimes the screen remains off. For some reason it's not recognizing the trigger to end sleep mode. The solution for me is either to hit the brightness key (F2) a bunch of times (this worked on my old Powerbook), or hold down the shift button while touching the trackpad or space key (Macbook Pro).
I recently left my macbook for approximately 10 days thinking it was off. Well to my surprise it wasn't and now it seems the battery has completely drained and will no longer take a charge
I've tried shutting down, and resetting the PMU neither made any difference.
I'm using Spaces and have noticed when switching to Photoshop CS3 using COMMAND+TAB It hides some interface elements. The only way to get them back is by focusing on the current document and pressing TAB twice.
The latch that holds my MacBook Pro appears to be broken. it no longer stays shut. This is a bigger pain than it might seem because after I shut it, the lid pops back up a centimeter and the mac wakes up. So I come back to a dead machine. Thank heavens for my timbuktu bag which holds it snug.....
In particular, dust and crumbs and hair find their way between and under the keys. On other laptops this has occasionally culminated in some keys not working as well. In those cases I've pulled off the key itself, cleaned underneath it, and then pushed the key back on. While this is fine for ad hoc cleanings under single keys, I'm wondering if there's a better way to do general cleaning on a regular basis. Laptop grooming?
About 50% of the time, my MacBook doesn't detect an external display. I put it to sleep when leaving the office, possibly use it at home that evening, and the next morning when I return to my desk and connect it to a monitor, it doesn't detect. The "detect displays" command it of no help and a reboot is the only solution I've found.
I was getting rid of pictures i do not need. i was deleting and deleting, and i accidently deleted my iphoto application. once opened it back up, all my pictures were gone.
can i get them back? and if so how? please help!
It used to connect fine, until one day it stopped connecting. It just hangs for a bit then gives me the following alert: There was an error joining the AirPort network "xxxxxx"
When I walk away from my desk, I like to start the screen saver. I do this to "lock" my laptop, requiring a password to be entered when coming out of the screensaver. I use the upper-right hot corner to invoke the screensave. Very infrequently it doesn't work, I just can't start the screensaver. It appears that a reboot is the solution to reset everything. Any thoughts?
I have a MacBook Pro just a little over a year old now. The Magsafe adapter charges my MBP fine but the usual set of lights are "green" when full and "orange" when charging. However, since about 5 weeks ago my power adapter turns from orange to black(off) or from green to black. Almost as if the Magsafe was never plugged in. I cleaned out the Magsafe connector and tried it again and it still does the same thing.
The main reason why I am asking if anybody has the same problem is because the Magsafe is not covered under the APP plan. If there are a few people with the same problem then this could be a faulty Magsafe issue and could be covered under the APPs extended warranty.
In our flat we have three MacBooks, and two of them are repeatedly dropped off the wireless network, every five minutes or so. The other one works fine. We all have the same OS version (10.4.11). Possible relevant differences: the working one has a model identifier of "MacBook2,1" while the others have "MacBook1,1". Also, the working one has an AirPort card firmware version of 1.2.2 while one of the others has 1.1 I believe (not sure about the third). All Apple software updates have been applied to the non-workng one; the problem has persisted for weeks. Has anyone seen this before?
The wireless router is a BT Home Hub, for what it's worth. The non-working Mac owners report that this problem has not happened with other wireless networks.
