MacBook Pro the Spill - currently work but with minor problems
As the title indicates, about three weeks ago, I spilled tea on the left upper quarter of my keyboard close to the ESC key. The laptop immediately power off and because of cracking noises that sounded not good. I put upside down and let the water dry for a few days then put Kleenex tissue on top of the keyboard and shut up for one more day. I turned it on the next day (stupid I know but I am a student, he uses it often) and it showed a folder flashing with an exclamation mark on the subject. I immediately turned off and he let it harden for three days.
I left for the weekend and I tried it turn and surprisingly it works fine. I was able to connect and saw the splash screen and shortly after it stops immediately again. I let settle again for a few days and tried again and this time it has begun well. The Macbook has worked for the next two days, however, I noticed two things:
(1) just below the trackpad, from time to time would make noise very hard and rough, sounding like two things rub together. It's a very unpleasant noise, and even if it isn't that strong, it is noticeable and certainly doesn't sound good.
(2) on almost all of my keyboard are a few bumps on each key, almost like the dried water particles, however, they don't come off the coast. If you rub them completely off it tears the part of the key and a layer of the current key will detach a black space on the key. I realize it's not big problem, however, do not know the cause of what I will not be spilled tea on all keys.
I took my computer to the Apple store, and they told me that everything works well. Every thing in the Macbook got a green check mark when they tested and they said it worked perfectly (crazy, I know.). They said that there was no problem and I could continue to use it as usual. However, the genius bar apple guy said, it was the first time ever, he saw the bumps on my keys, however, he said, it's fine that you can't even feel them when entering. However, only two days after a visit to the apple store, my macbook stopped on me when I was with her. I tried to power it back on and it became like a safe mode where I was asked to select the HARD disk drive (I think). I don't have an option to make attempts so and after a lot of google, I thought that my Macbook was done for good. However, as I was on the phone with apple support, not even an hour later, at random, he started to work very well and worked well since the incident.
Now, this is where I ask my question, because my computer is still random scratch harsh noises under the trackpad, should I worry or continue to use it? These sounds are completely random and sometimes it happens at all for a day and then sometimes will get 5 to 10 a day, during anywhere from 3 seconds to 20 seconds of scratching and noise. In addition, suggestions on the keyboard? I know this isn't a problem, but it's just a little weird on the keyboard and to be completely honest, baffled myself and the representative of apple engineering.
Thank you very much for your help!
You should be worried about. Liquids and electronics don't go together well. Damage may increase to erode over time as components. Make sure that you have a backup of all your data because your computer can die at any moment. As you work back up your data continuously for the same reason.

Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects works well with the merger?
Hey everybody,
I'm in the middle of a semester at the University and I use Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects (Windows version). I was wondering if the merger would work well with these programs? I intend to the latest update of merger next week.
The mac I use is an iMac in August 2008 (running 10.5.6). 3.06 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HD, and a Nvidia GeForce 8800. I also install Windows XP Pro edition and the value of using two processors and 2-3 GB of RAM.
I will also put it on a new account make sure that practically nothing is running while im current merger.
I use this for my final college.
Edit: I forgot to mention. I use CS3. My school has not yet updated in CS4.
In addition, you think that a 64-bit version of Vista will work best and then 32 bit XP on this partition?
I love Fusion as much as anyone here and use it a lot. But, in saying that...
You use this something really important - your final college. You need to perform at its best performance with as few problems as possible because you don't have a lot of time in your semester left (in the grand scheme of things).
My advice - do not experiment. Work around the merger (as heretical as it may seem on this forum) and first and AfterEffects in a punt in native mode Windows XP OS that is on a BootCamp partition. Video editing will focus on i/o and graphics of your system performance - and nothing works better for this than the native access to the system.
Running two processors in a virtual merger with computer on a machine with 2 hearts can lead to better performance and is not recommended.

Hi, I have a problem with my pitch bend wheel on my pc - 300 midi keyboard Roland. The Modulation part works but when I try to pitch bend a note using the same logic of wheel just plays a continuous note. Can someone give me some advice please? Thank you
It's a delicate issue... like some patches cannot stipulate pitchbend...
But to quickly test your pitchbend wheel actually works properly...
Download the free lunch monitor...
Run and see if it sees pitchbend data sent by your keyboard... and therefore by logic.

When I open a link irc with a string name that contains "~" at the end, firefox (14.0.1) opens the same channel name but with "7%" instead of "~" at the end
http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/2856/clipboard05nq.jpgI can't open the image, but I can say something in general about the tilde.
The tilde "~" is an unreserved character and that's why it can be replaced by its form encoded percentage '% 7' inside a URI without changing the meaning. See
http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/percent-encoding
According to article 2.3 of RFC3986 we should prefer the encrypted form so this behavior seems to be somewhat outdated. -
I recently had to have my rebuilt computer caused by a virus. Now I have Mozilla Firefox with ABP and see that Firefox has a program's built-in phishing and viruses. Do I need a program additional anti-malware? If so, the one that works best with Firefox? Seems put more you on these things the you have more trouble.
The anti-phishing protection and malware that Firefox uses checks against a list of websites that have been reported to contain a form of malware and then alerts you. Firefox itself does not scan files to see if they contain viruses/malware. You still need a form any anti-virus and anti-malware protection. You must also use a firewall.
As for which is better, you are likely to get many different answers, it's a topic that generates a lot of discussion. A product one person loves will be hated by someone else. I use Microsoft Security Essentials as well as Windows Firewall.
