9600GT Has Gone Kaput?...What now?

Alright well I'm sure hundreds of these topics roll through here every month, but I am making sure that the symptoms of my problem are indicative of the faulty GPU problem that has plagued MBPs.
Everything has been fine since I got my MBP (Late 2008) back 3 days after it released, but today I was playing WoW (9600 GT enabled) and within 30-40 seconds of play, the screen went black and I had to forcefully shut down my laptop. Now, I tried again, and yielded the same result, black screen. Is this indicative of the faulty GPU that apple has released statements about?
Furthermore, I am still under my 1 year warranty, if I take it into the genius bar and determine that my GPU is indeed faulty, what will they do? Will they repair it? Issue me a new machine? I suppose I am looking for anyone who has experience with this endeavor or knows what the next step is.
Thank you for all help!

Ok well I just got off the phone with Tech Support and explained my issue and the representative replied by saying that this is a "Known Issue and that Apple is working on it" But there was no offer for any remedy until Apple figures it out. And unfortunately the Apple store in Salt Lake City is closed for another 2 weeks for remodeling so I am S.O.L until then....But I found it interesting because I've heard of many other customers getting repairs and replacements for their faulty GPUs but there was no remedy for my current situation, Think I should still take it into the Apple store once it re-opens?

The credit card used is that registered in the iTunes Store. Open the Store and go to your account. Click 'edit' next to 'payment details' and amend the card details if necessary.

After saying Yes to Firefox update request, Firefox is gone. What now?

This morning Firfox displayed a message saying a security update was available. I clicked on the button to start the update and was then told that one of my add-in was not compatible. I acknoledeg the warning and initiated the update.
Firefox closed down, and then nothing. No download, no update, and no more Firefox! The firefox icons are still there, but the program is gone.

No Service 3GS with valid SIM card. NOTHING has worked. What now?

"No Service" when valid SIM card inserted in iPhone 3GS. iTunes occasionally reads valid SIM phone number while phone still says No Service. I have tried everything and NOTHING has worked. The phone had two bars of service once, while it was connected to iTunes, for about a minute then went back to No Service. I bought it used from Game Stop in really nice condition. I would like to get this problem fixed, as I need a better phone than what I had previously. Please help!

There is a very high probability that the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it, or was water damaged an/or repaired by a 3rd party.
Make an appointment at the genius bar and see what they have to say about it (be prepared to pay for an out of warranty replacement) or return it to game stop and get your money back.

My iphone has gone dead and now not charging.

I had it on charge at about 12 today took it of and went dead about an hour ago. Now its not charging at all. I have tried 2 diffrent usb cables into the wall plus the computer. I have only had it since July last year.

"Debris pocket"? I said "check for pocket debris" as in debris /dirt / fluff from whatever pocket you might carry the phone in. A piece of dirt in the phone's docking port can easily prevent a good connection being made with the charging cable.

My daughters itouch is locked and the computer it was sync with has been replaced - what now?

My daughters itouch is locked - she forgot her password and the computer I used to sync has since been replaced - how do I get this thing unlocked?

You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode for it to be recognised by your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it.

Mail has gone blank, what else can I try?

Currently, when I press on my Mail button it opens to a blank page for about 15 seconds, then closes. My gmail account is set as my main email and works fine through safari, chrome and my phone etc.
I have already tried deleting the email account, then re-entering my username and password, next I reset my Ipad by holding down the sleep and home buttons, then tried resetting it in the network settings, once more tried deleting my email account and re-entered my username and password, and finally upgraded to the most current iOS.
None of these steps have worked! The strange part is I can still send emails through my Pages App - I hear the 'swoosh' that it went through and my coworkers have recieved my PDFs etc, and occadioanly I will hear the alert of a new email, but it is always blank when I try to use Mail. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Ipad 2 iOS 8.1.1

Have you tried forcing the app to close? Double tap the home button and find the mail app preview thumbnail, swipe the preview thumbnail up off the top of the screen to close it.
Have you considered that you might have large or corrupt attachment in the email account that could be causing the problem? You ca check the emails on the server since you do have actress via web browsers.

In "Preferences"..."Privacy" ..."History" the "Accept Cookies From Sites" options are completely gone. What now?

this is Firefox 20.0 OS desktop

If you see "(Never) Remember History" then that means that all history and cookie settings are set to the default values and thus cookies are enabled. 
The "Use custom settings for history" choice allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings. 
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" selection as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made. 
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History". 
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a check mark. 
The "Use custom settings for history" choice stays selected if at least one of the History or Cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes from the defaults are made.

I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?

Help!
I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?
I paid for it so I'd really like to avoid paying again just to see this movie. Is it because it's on my iPhone? Whenever I try to click on the movie to make it play it just does nothing like it's not there. The file for the movie exists within my iTunes library files but I can't seem to click and drag it into iTunes or open it with iTunes. Need help.
