Thanks guys. I'm sure there must be a Mac guy around somewhere here. Will have a scout. Have seen Apple resellers so will see what they say. Cheers... On 18 Mar 2011, at 16:08, Sam - MacAmbulance wrote: > I doubt anyone's hacking in, just change your password to be sure. > > A new top case r

I doubt anyone's hacking in, just change your password to be sure. A new top case replacement is a fairly trivial task, find an Apple store and see if they have one in stock. Regards Sam MacAmbulance Providing affordable Apple & PC services Sam Mullen 07747 778022 http://www.macambulance.co.uk

Sounds like the trackpad's extremely sensitive, registering clicks even when the mouse is plugged in. If it's an aluminium/unibody MacBook/MacBook Pro, there's a small tri-lobe screw under the battery which you can tighten to adjust the sensitivity of the click. If it's a plastic MacBook (non-u

Hi Mike The switch inside the headphone port is stuck, you can dislodge it gently with a match or to connect/disconnect the headphones multiple times. Under the trackpad is a screw which you can tighten to adjust the sensitivity of the click, a Mac tech can adjust it if that's the issue, otherw
