Dead Mac AGAIN after Apple Repairs.
Hello,
I'm back again with the same problem as my previous posts. Once again I have had my computer back from apple for repairs, once again Its been working fine, but now mysteriously will not start up. (Kernel panics on start up with not prior warning or anything seeming strange). Once again I've followed the usual steps, safe booting, re installation of the operating system, a complete rebuild with disk warrior and resetting this and that. no joy.
This is all getting a bit of a joke now. The machine has been in for repairs three times and has failed again each time within a number of weeks. I can't think of anything else to do other than try for a replacement machine. They obviously cannot locate the problem (they have replaced the hard drive, logic board, ramx2, monitor and have carried out three sets of 'Hardware Repairs' costing more than a new machine itself!) Surely I must now qualify for a replacement? I'm tired of speaking to technical advisers suggesting they know whats wrong and would like to carry out repairs just to go through the whole process not even three weeks later.
Does anyone have any suggestions/advice?
Unfortunately being a recent design graduate I cannot afford a new mac or much time without a functional machine.
Thanks.
Neil, since Apple have had three goes at it, and the same problem keeps cropping up, I would suggest calling Apple Customer Relations at 800-767-2775 and gently, but firmly, suggesting that it may be time for Apple to replace your machine. If the first level of responder gives you no joy, asked to be moved up the ladder till you get someone who has the authority to permit a replacement.
Let us know how you make out,

I just got my Mac back from Apple repair and I can't burn a disc. What do I need to do to make that happen?
Hello deneye2112,
Thank you for providing the details of the burning issue you are experiencing. I found some resources that I think might help:
First, I recommend resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac (I wasn't sure if you had a removable battery or a built in battery, so I listed the steps for both):
Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
Note: Learn about removing the battery on MacBook and MacBook Pro.
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your ownNote: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
You can find the full article here:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

If you are still having trouble with burning after that step, I recommend reviewing the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the following article:
Disc Burning Quick Assist

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

VERY hot macbook after apple repair
I recently took my macbook to apple to get it repaired, as a few cracks had appeared by the hinges and screws, the main casing (including keyboard) and monitor casing were replaced, I got the laptop back today, and having used it for a while, it has got very hot (in excess of 100 degrees!) which is very unusual as it never used to get hotter than 80 before the repair (I use a free tool called Temperature Monitor by Bresink, I don't know how reliable this is but I know it never used to go past 80), so I'm just wondering if this is something to be worried about, but the fact that i nearly burnt my hand is reason enough to be worried.
I also noticed that when i booted windows (boot camp, windows 7 32-bit) for the first time after the repair a few drivers were installed, at the time I just assumed that it was because components had been disconnected then reconnected, but would apple have changed any of the components?
Thanks

Unless something happens to indicate a hardware issue, don't create a problem by trying to modify how the machine cools itself, except with exterior ventilation additions, or better heat conductors. -
Mac Book Pro (Apple Repairs and Serve Coverage) - Limited
I got a Macbook Pro (late 2013) and the Apple Repairs and Service Coverage ends on Oct 2013. I recently found that my MagSafe 2 Power adapter is not working. Will they replace mine for free?
Just bought it. I took it to work and everything worked on that wireless network. The problem must be in my home network, but I haven't figured it out yet.

Why is iCloud sync for Mail, Contacts and Calendar not in effect after Apple repair?
... and how to restore it on my iMac? My other 2 devices, MBook and iPhone sync fine.
Thanks a lot,
RaphaelHi treetopguy2028,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are referring to when you say that iMessages does not sync. If you are talking about just iMessages proper (iMessage chat messages to other Mac/iOS users, not including SMS/MMS text messages from non-iOS phones), you may want to check that your Apple ID and phone number are correctly linked and configured, as outlined in the following article under the section labeled Use iMessage and FaceTime with multiple devices:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
If you are referring to syncing all messages in iMessage, including SMS/MMS text messages, that would be a function of the new Continuity feature in iOS 8. In that case, this article may be more helpful (Note: Continuity requires iOS 8 on your devices and Yosemite on your Mac):
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support

Disk I/O Error - Persists after Apple repairs MBP
Hey,
A few weeks ago my MBP (13 in, 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo, 160GB HDD, 4GB RAM, OS X 10.6.2) was telling me that I was unable to save to my internal HDD because it was "full or write protected". After a restart, I was able to save. About an hour later I encountered the same problem. I restarted again only to have my system hang up at the screen with the apple logo and the spinner at the bottom. I let it sit for nearly 20 min and it never booted. I attempted a disk repair, permission repair, reinstalling the OS, erasing the drive, partitioning the drive, booting in safe mode, fsck, and restoring from a time machine backup without any success. In verbose mode, I kept getting a "disk I/O error". I ended up installing the OS on an external USB drive and booting from that and everything worked fine, leading me to believe that the internal drive was dead or dying.
My laptop was under warranty so I called up Apple and informed them of the situation. I sent them my laptop to get repaired. I had it back in a few days. I looked at the service report that was in the box and saw that they replaced the internal HDD with a new one with 10.6.1 on it. It also said that my mac passes all hardware diagnostic tests. I booted up my laptop and it failed to boot up. Again, it was getting stuck at the screen with the apple logo and the spinning gear. I tried all of the things that I tried the first time (see above) with not success.I checked and I was still getting a "disk I/O error". I don't think that the internal drive is failing because it's brand new and I can boot from my external and use finder to navigate through the files on my internal drive (and even open them up).
I am completely out of ideas. I plan on calling Apple back up but would like to see if anyone online can help seeing as Apple was unsuccessful the first time. It appears that the drive is functioning properly but I can't boot from it.

Got my Mac back from Apple Repair... now TimeMachine is messed up!
I'm hoping this is something "routine" and some of you smart folks can help me out.
I recently had to send my MacBook Pro to Apple Care for repair (a whole other story! The LCD died...), when I got it back I noticed a couple of strange things:
1. my iTunes told me I had to authorize my "new" computer (no problem. I can deal with this, it doesn't impact my work. It's just a bit odd.)
2. my Time Machine backups stopped working. (This is a much bigger problem, since now I'm working without backups).
Here's the situation:
Time Machine preferences shows me my regular backup destination drive (it's called "total-backup" by the way, and it's a big ol' Firewire drive.)
It says "Oldest Backup: --".. as in NO oldest backup. But when I look at the drive out in the finder, there's a folder there sure enough named "Backups.backupdb" which takes up many GB.
That folder now contains two subfolders:
- one is called "My Computer" , which itself contains many folders named with dates. This appears to be my old backups folder.
- the other is called "My Computer 2" and it contains only an odd 8 KB thing named "2008-04-26-182146.inProgress" which contains the date I got my computer back! (And also shows you how long I've been working without backup!)
Here are my two questions:
- How do I point Time Machine to the correct backup set?
- And is it okay for me to just manually delete that "My Computer 2" folder off the backup drive?In all likelihood, your logic board was replaced during the repair. There's a MAC address (Media Access Control) embedded in every networkable device that gives a unique ID to every device; the Mac's MAC (name similarity only coincidental) address is on the logic board.
iTunes authorization is keyed to the MAC address; so are your Time Machine backup files.
You can't change the MAC address, since it's hardware, but you can change the record of the MAC address in the Time Machine files so they'll be recognized by what it thinks is a new computer. It take Terminal (and guts).. the info is here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080128003716101
I don't think that article says to back up your Time Machine files before you start mucking about with them, but that might be a good idea. You may have room for a zipped duplicate right on the backup drive, so that'd be a good thing to do first. -
I have a MacPro G5, 1.6 Ghz.
I remove the RAM and reinstall it. After that when i turn on, begin to load with the apple icon, and then crashes with the screen in 5 lenguajes "restart your mac... etc".
I try to start from the DVD but keeps hanging in the same moment.
I'm selling it and i dont know how to fix this!
Help please!
thanx.Hi, I think you mean you have a Powermac G5, the Mac Pros have Intel CPUs.
Anyway, if you're sure the RAM is good, try the Hair Dryer trick...

Macbook Pro WEAK monitor hinge AFTER apple repair! PLEASE help!
Hey everyone, I am using a 2010 MBP with a 15" hi res display. I had the computer for 3 months with no problems and then the display broke (wouldnt turn on) so apple replaced it. Once they replaced it, i noticed the display was not as strong. To help you all understand this better, let me give you some background information. I am a DJ and music producer and I play at various venues quite often. The problem I am having, is when my computer is on my laptop stand, and the bass hits from the venues sound system, the monitor will wobble down when placed on my laptop stand (http://www.safecomputingtips.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/irizer-laptop-s tand.jpg). This NEVER happened before the display was replaced, nor does it happen on my 13" 2009 MBP. To get a sense of what im talking about, if you watch the end of this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmN9p9z3KgA) it demonstrates how the screen will fall down with just gravity. While no one would ever use a computer like that, while it is on the laptop stand its position is very similar. When he holds the macbook body vertical, it causes the screen to fall down with gravity. Before my macbook was replaced, it NEVER did that. My 2009 MBP has had TONS of wear and tear and doesnt do that. I went into the apple store and tried it on EVERY macbook pro in the store, 13 15 and 17 inch models, NONE of them fell with gravity. This started happening when i got the screen replaced. I have gone into the apple store and have had the display replaced for weak hinges 2 or 3 times now, and every time i get it back it is no better. My computer was out of repair yesterday, I took it into apple tonight (20 mins ago) and I was told by a manager that this is within "normal" specs for a "normal" user. Which is true, this wouldnt bother anyone who doesnt use a laptop stand and plays in clubs; but i do. He told me there is nothing he can do, and that I would just have to deal with it (of course he said it much nicer). What i dont understand is that I paid 2,800 for a computer that worked PERFECTLY until the screen died, and once it was replaced due to APPLES fault, now i must deal with a problem caused originally by apple. When I DJ with my 2009 model, no problems. My thought process is that maybe because the original screen is not on the unit, the replacement may not be as sturdy because it wasnt built with the unit itself. For example, my 09 mbp has had no replairs and its fine. The models in the store i assume have had no display repairs, and theyre all fine. The manager agreed that my hinge was weaker than the rest of the stores' models, but even though it was weaker it was within "normal specs", and he wouldnt budge. I'm sure a new unit that has been built together will fix this problem, but he would not give me a new unit. Is there ANYTHING I can do to help this? I am going to a different apple store tomorrow and hope the manager is a bit more understanding in the fact that not all apple computers are put through "normal" use and therefore should not be judged with "normal" specs. When my computer was new it NEVER ever ever did this, and I feel like I bought applecare for that exact reason, so that for at least 3 year i have the computer I bought. Any any any help would be greatly appreciated, I am 19 going and paying my way through school and if i didnt have to pay for school I would just say screw it and I would buy another unit, but i cant. Thanks for reading this, i really appreciate it.
Unfortunately, spoke way to early. The fan issue is still a big problem. From the second the machine is turned on, the fan cranks up. Frankly, I think this is overheating the machine to some extent (running the fan at max speeds when it's not even warm). Additionally, the noise caused by this has only gotten worse, and now it is even making a "whistling sound." Looks like I'm going to be making the trek to the Genious Bar, but based on comments by others on this issue I am not optimistic about a fix.

Display problem after apple repair
Hello everyone,
Few weeks ago had this problem with vertical lines on my iMac display, which apple told me it was a display problem and they needed to changed it. So far so good... despite the 300pounds i had to pay for a new screen but anyway....... now look what happened...
i was wondering if anyone has seen this problem before (i wish i could browse on internet about this problem, the thing is: with my screen like this i cant distinguish what is or isn't a good image when i watch videos/pic posted from other users regarding displays problems)... do you think is any graphic problem? or display again?
i'm so upset
ThanksThanks for your reply.
I've just done it and the screenshot looks fine on my iphone. So... LCD problem again...? great
can you see any problem on this screenshot?
Thank you for you help. -
Windows 7 will no longer load after Apple repair
I recently had my computer repaired through AppleCare. They replaced the logic board, top cover, a connector and battery. When I first got the computer back, I turned it on, booted to the Mac partition, everything was good. I then booted to Windows with the Bootcamp partition and everything was good. Even the stuff I had open before the damage were still up. I shut it down, boxed everything up and didn't touch it until I got home.
When I got home, I booted up Windows 7 and now all I get is it boots to a black screen with the cursor. I ran the repair utility, tried safe mode and it says no errors are found, however, it still won't load. I haven't figured out why it booted up the first time I got the computer back but now it won't do anything. I never got a chance to back everything up because my computer was damaged from liquid damage, but I can still see all the files on my Bootcamp partition through finder from the Mac side.
I don't know exactly why it's doing this or what to search to find an answer to the problem. When I first got my MBP, I installed Windows 7 through and upgrade disc from my job, so I don't know what my next steps should be. Sorry for the length, just trying to get this problem resolved.

After apple repair TM creates new backup set instead of recognizing past on
I took my computer in to the apple store for a repair and now it refuses to use my old time machine backups and created a completely new set that took up another 80GB on my harddrive. is there any way to get it to use my old backup, because I can't afford to have it use that much extra disk space.
thanks but that code doesn't seem to work. I get back a bunch of errors but I tried this other method I found in the discussion boards and it seemed to work. Time Machine is trying to backup right now, we'll see how that goes.
by the way, the other method I tried is here:

IMac fan wont stop spinning after Apple repair
I have just had my two year old iMac repaired by Apple it just needed a new optical drive, all seemed to be good until I brought it home and plugges it in.
Now the fan is spinning loudly and all the time from the moment I push the start up button.
Please help as this is very annoying, I have tried rebooting several times and removing all the power cables and holding the power button down as suggested but it still keeps spinning.
Should I take it back to Apple? It used to be silent all the time.
thanks in advance for any adviceplanetmelmac wrote:

Yes, sounds like they forgot to transfer, reconnect, or perhaps even damaged a thermal sensor or a sensor cable. -
I dropped my iphone 5 in the water, its dead and when I try to charge it the apple logo comes and goes, thats my only sign of life, I've done many after market repairs but what I want to know is if I should replace the ligntning port or the battery... or just buy a galaxy s5?
If you dropped it in water, and then plugged it in, you may very well have destroyed the battery and/or the logic board. Charging/plugging in to a power source is very damaging to wet electronic devices. There is not much you can do but replace the entire iPhone...and since you did repairs yourself Apple will not do an out-of-warranty replacement.
You can try replacing the battery, the lightning port is another issue, but I would not expect that iPhone to work again. -
Hi,
After I Repair The Permissions On My Mac Pro, Then I Verify The Permissions And They Have To Be Repaired Again And Again.
Why Does This Happen All The Time.
Please Reply,
JamesAs long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.
Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:
drwxrwxrwx
d = directory
r = read
w = write
x = executeable program
drwxrwxrwx
