I have an old white macbook - the pin fits into the slot but pulls out very easily--thoughts??

You have to twist it to the right or left (you shouldn't have to force it), push the remainder inside and lock it.

well, are you sure you are inserting it correctly and then setting the combination? These things are a little fiddly, you have to insert them just the right way, pressing the button on the end while you do it I think? (Sorry, mine is not here, it is at work so I can't double check). I think it is press the button, insert to slot, let go button, move combo numbers, should stick. If not maybe your slot is damaged?

Recently got one for macbook pro 11inch. It was a wise choice, I would reccommend to anyone.Good luck and enjoy.

Yeah, just be sure you do not push the pin all the way out. Check out a youtube video. There is several good ones that show how it is done.

I don't have that problem. It's definitely a tight fit, but if it were looser I'd be afraid of it slipping off like other cases I've tried. I've had mine about 18 months (approx) and it's been great. It now has a few very light scratches on it, but better it scratched my case than my Mac. Just bought a MacBook for my fianc and ordered the same cover for her and hers fit perfectly as well. I guess anyone could get one that wasn't manufactured perfectly but I'm two for two good ones. Hope this helps.

That's how mine works too, sorry. Kinda dumb for a case at this price. In fairness, the Apple case had the same issue. However, during use, this wasn't a deal breaker with either. Throw it in a bag, it stays shut. That's all I need.

I have found the fit very tight in my MacBook Pro's USB 3.0 slots. It's definitely not as tight in my HP Desktop.

Use a file. Took me about 10 minutes. I used a thin circle file and removed the small tab on the end of the pin and it should come right out.

Wait... where did the pin numbers come from?Anyway, I'm quite sure it will work. Mine is also a MB 3,1 (white 2.0GHz, but I don't think it matters much), originally with the same 512MB modules you described, of which first I swapped one to a 2GB one, then (using the product in question) the second one too. No problems ever.

Very interesting! I talked to the company today and they insisted there must be something wrong with my USB port. So, I called Apple and they suggested I bring my macbook in to have the USB ports checked out. After reading your post, I think I'll cancel the appointment. By the way - do all the Flip models have the same USB connector? Rhonda

Older generation macbook pro 15 with optical drive (not retina) will not fit easily, too tight for me

Works fine in my MacBooks. Just a little awkward due to the small size. Make sure you've got it turned the right way and push it in.

I bought it for my boy some time ago and he used it with his white Macbook for a while before he got his new Macbook Pro last year. He's been too busy to use it since he got his Macbook Pro so he hasn't used it yet. I don't use Apple computer so I don't have any clues about it. Sorry.

Nope. However you can find excellent disassembly-reassembly instructions in YouTube. Some hardware handling skills are required as there are few micro connectors that can't be just force pulled out. As a Mac Service agent I found this part really durable and an exactly "drop-in" replacement part.

Yes, I can answer that. The outer case (white) comes off pretty easy. Its the hard thats a bit of a challenge, so what you do is use a butter knife to pry it on one of the opening areas working it sorta gently, then open it on the other sides where the opening is as well. good luck....thats how it works for me.

I bought a felt MacBook Air case, it came with a separate pouch thing presumably for the charger. However, it fits the keypad perfectly, so that's what I'm using. The brand of the case I bought is Inateck.
