MacBook RSD persist AFTER Mobo replacement.
So I got this RSD thing from June, sent to Apple Hong Kong for repair in mid July and just got my book back last week (you can see how long it took to service your mac in descriminated asia market).
they replace the mobo... and everything look good until just know... I starte my machine, opened firefox and start to read the 2nd tab... Boom... RSD... restart... before the Apple Logo shows up ... Boom.. again ... RSD....
so basically the new Mobo do nothing..
I'm going back to London this weekend, and will ask for a replacement (man i bought this darn thing brand new and just used for 1 month so far??? the new macbook is coming out and i didnt really have a chance to use the old one i paid for !) or start a new site www.macsucks.com lol... i dun mean 2 b a hater but...
anyway.. jst to let u guys no... mobo replacement doesnt necessary fix ur crappy macbook.
Yeah, I'm not getting it. I had my MacBook for 4 months, then last Tuesday got two RSDs, each shortly after sleep when the machine was, first time, stone cold, second, still cool but warmer after having operated a little longer after sleep. I was assured by people who had the RSD problem that it could turn up any time, even after 4 months, and that once it started it would accelerate quickly, within a few days becoming quite common and maybe unbootable without holding down the power button to start it into safe mode. It's been a full week, and... nothing. Not another RSD, under the same usage conditions.
I didn't take it in because it was going to be impossible to reproduce for the technician at the Apple Store, and because, frankly, it's just not that much of a problem at this time. Now I'm reading yet again that the revised parts are not fixing the problem.
Then this guy Takeshi has been experimenting via OS X with how and when his MacBook turns on and speeds up the fans, and he's got his formerly RSDing MacBook running stable, full processor speed, at normal temperatures. And most people here call him an idiot. But his experiment tends to indicate the RSD is a problem with the way the MacBook handles the expected heating up of the computer. There has already been one firmware update from Apple acknowledging that there is a problem with the way the software in firmware responds to heat detection. Yet we are so sure this is still not a firmware issue, code in the firmware that was not revised by the first update?
Yes I know a lot of people are saying, 5 days with revised parts and no RSD! Yay! But as I recall people receiving repair with the old parts would get their MacBooks back and have 5 days, 10 days, 20 days with no RSD -- until it returned.

MacBook Pro Freezing After Screen Replacement
I recently took my MBP in to get the screen replaced due to a screen separation issue. When I got it back it froze every now and then, but it kept continuing. Everytime I restart the computer after a freeze it will freeze up sooner and sooner. At first I thought it was a RAM issue since it particularly did it while watching videos, so I bought new RAM and it continued to freeze. Tested the new and the old RAM, but they were fine. I took it to the Genius Bar and the guy said it was a failing harddrive. Got a new harddrive upgraded to Lion and it is still freezing. I asked if something could have gone wrong when the screen was replaced and he assured me no and even if something had gone wrong they wouldn't cover it unless the actual screen was broken.
If I leave the computer off for a day it will take about 30 min before the 1st freeze, then after restart about 15 min, then 10 min, then 5 min until it will only log in then freeze.
Any guesses as to what could be causing the freezing and if it would be worth fixing as this MBP needs a new battery, a new drive (since the drive is on loan), and has the flickering screen issue?

Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Out of warrenty
Screen Replaced Jan 8, 2012Thanks for the reply. As an update, I took it into the Apple store again and it froze while they were trying to run the test. This time the guy said it was covered by the repair warrenty. After 2 weeks without a computer because something was wrong with the graphics cards they called me back and said they were just going to give me a late 2011 mid-range MBP. So I currently have a brand new MBP with no issues
Yeah... 3.5 years and they just release that fix for flickering screens. I hope it works for everyone. I know some people had some major issues with it. -
Battery X persists after I replaced the batter
I have the first revision black macbook. About a month ago the battery died abruptly. It wasn't recognized. Just the X in the battery icon. I ordered a new one. 10 days later it finally arrived. I started charging it up and almost immediately the X returned to the icon. Despite this, the battery appears to be charging, unlike the old one. There is a little button on the bottom of the battery that, when pushed, will occasionally briefly restore the percentile change in the icon, and little green LED lights appear, but it seems to go off spontaneously.
Meanwhile, I found out the battery would have been replaced free of charge under an extended warranty. So I now have two batteries that are problematic.
This is really quite frustrating. Am I missing anything obvious? I reset the pram but that did no good. I installed the new firmware on the old battery that was released about 6 months ago. That also did not help.did u try the power management..
shutdown take the batt out and hold the power button for about 10 secs.. put back together and reboot.
if it is a batt problem both will be in warranty. though id try for a refund for the newest one..
replacement of batteries depends on charge cycles though so watch out.. call apple first.
it does seem strange that two are gone so quick take the macbook in to a store to get it looked at if its under a year old its still in warranty -

Handoff does not work after phone replacement.
Dear all,
I'm using iPhone 6 and Macbook Pro Retina 2014 mid and getting some trouble with using continuity on Yosemite.
Before I use iPhone 5s 16G(IOS 8.1.1)when it was not thrown to the water , continuity does work so well. But after that, replacing it for iPhone 6, it does not.
I think it could be happen since my previous iPhone 5s cannot be logout from iCloud but i don't know why exactly.
so could you give me some advice for fixing it?
I'm currently using iPhone 6 (64G)with IOS 8.1.1 (12B436) and Macbook Pro Retina 15" with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1(14B25)
and I also tried to solve this problem with logout/in from iCloud and handoff off/on, rebooting both devices but failed.
The only working function of the continuity is SMS sync.
Could you please help me solve this problem?I thought I'd post you a quick response because you described exactly the issues I was having. After my phone was idle for a while, my iPhone would refuse to get data over 3G.
I've tested this thoroughly and I'm able to "trip up" the phone into a state where it can't download data from the 3G network. But turning airline mode on for about 30 seconds then off again resets forces a renegotiate with the cell tower/3g and everything seems to work again about a minute later.
Nothing untoward listed in the console at this point either - The PDP context that you mentioned that was deactivated was more than likely the Internet Tethering. (It's usually PDP context 1, by the looks of things).
I think I might switch off 3G and see if that helps until Apple fix this issue. It is related to the wifi issues that others have reported - As I've seen my iPhone unable to download information via 3G if wifi is turned on, but you don't connect to a wifi network. But I can't seem to reproduce this reliably.

Hard drive crashed and had to replace drive and logic board on my MacBook pro. After Install tried to sync with my iPhone and a dialog box pops up stating "this iPhone synced with another iTunes library, erase and sync?". I checked the manually manage music and videos box because I don't want all my wife's pics and music on my iPhone. How do I Sync without erasing what I have on my iPhone???

How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer. -
have a macbook, and i want to replace a processor and convert in macbook pro isthat possible , and wich processor is the best for my computer
If you don't see any messages, not have anti-malware running or the Firewall on, try installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8 (according to your profile).
Restart your Mac after the combo in installed, try the App Store.
Also... if you have an app called Little Snitch installed, that can prevent a connection to the App Store. -
Vendor Open Item Was Not Offset After a Replacement Check
Hi FI Guru,
We have an issue with vendor replacement check. Our vendor open item still apears in FBL1N after a replacement check is paid. We initially issued a check against a vendor invoice and we had to void that check because due to check printing problem. The check was cancelled in FCH8. We then issued a replacement check in F110. When I displayed open items for the vendor in FBL1N, the vendor invoice still showed up. The replacement check already sent to our vendor. So we have to apply the payment to the vendor's invoice. It seems the second transaction (for the replacement check) is incomplete because I dont't think it hits our bank account.
Here are my questions:
1) Is there another transaction our user needs to offset vendor invoice?
2) If we have to fix it manually, what is the best option to offset the open vendor invoice and still be able to hit our bank account.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!!
ReilingHi,
In order to change the Open Item Management for a G/L account using
ZFSEPA02 the line item total(Total of open items)for this account
should match/tally with the account balance for this account (FS10),
otherwise the open item activation will not be possible.
Unfortunately as per note 175960 you find reports RFSEPA02/ RFSEPA03
are no longer supported as of release 4.5A.
ALTHOUGH you can find a possible solution on how to tally the line items
to the balance in the NOTE 403744.
1. Active New General Ledger
This note applies ONLY WITH RESTRICTIONS to Release ERP 2004 or ERP
2005 with activated New General Ledger and activated document
splitting.
In these releases, it is not currently possible to subsequently
activate the open item management under the specified conditions.
The only option currently available is to set up a new account with
open item management and to use this instead of the original
account.
However, it is also possible to deactivate the open item management
using report ZFSEPA03 under the prerequisites described below.
2. Migration to the New GL:
If you are planning to migrate to the new General Ledger using a
migration type that enables the use of document splitting, ensure
that in Phase 1 and Phase 2 NO changes are make to the open item
management. Phases 1 and 2 indicate the period between the migration
date and the end of the actual migration (the "Migration Completed"
indicator is set) -

How much $$$ will Verizon charge me if I don't return the Fascinate after receiving replacement?
How much $$$ will Verizon charge me if I don't return the Fascinate after receiving replacement?
I spoke with customer service and couldn't get a real number. She just said it "could be up to $500, or more"
to be determined after they don't receive it within the 5-day period.
Is there a way to find out for sure how much it's going to cost?
Thanks!
Here's the reason I'm asking:
I forgot to drop it off at FedEx on the way to the airport. My entire family is now on an overseas trip and won't
be back for 8 weeks. The Fascinate, packed in Verizon box with FedEx box, is now sitting in my car trunk at
the airport long-term parking lot. I was supposed to stop by the FedEx office at the airport cargo area to drop
it off, but forgot about it during the rush.... (yes, I do realize it's a stupid mistake that may end up costing a
lot of money)Hi and good morning!
I would like to review your account with you and ensure I can help resolve any concerns you have about being charged for this device. Please PM me directly so we can discuss this together. Also, include your name and mobile number with your PM to me.
Thank you so much and have a safe overseas trip! -
can someone pls help me with java on my macbook pro because after i download the mountain lion java has died and i need java to see streaming quotes from stock market
Java is no longer included in Mac OS X by default. If you want Java, you will have to install it.
However, note that you should think twice before installing Java for such a trivial need as looking at stock market quotes. There are other ways to get that information that don't involve Java, and using Java in your web browser is a HUGE security risk right now. Java has been vulnerable to attack almost constantly for the last year, and has become a very popular, frequently used method for getting malware installed via "drive-by downloads." You really, truly don't want to be using it. See:
Java is vulnerable… Again?!

I have a MacBook Pro Retina display: 15.4-inch late 2015 with OS X Mavericks install, only on second week.
Insight works on FaceTime, Skype, but yahoo program does not show insight cam in dropped down.
Now when I got my new MacBook Pro, I down loaded all new Skype (worked tested), FaceTime (Worked Tested), Yahoo (not worked)
