Apple has found the fix for the whine.

After sending my MacBook Pro of to repair and getting it back without the whine being gone I have come to the conclusion that they need to include ear plugs with every MacBook Pro they sell. This is the first Apple product I have had any issues with (5th apple in 2 years) in addition this is my first dealings with Apple Care and let me say it was the WORST experience I have ever had. I guess I hold Apple to a higher standard then Apple itself does.

What noise do you have ? The screen induced noise or the CPU noise ?
I only have the display related noise (inverter). I demanded that it be replaced as I found ou it is NOT part of the logic board. I said I would pay for the cost of the replacement and did not want to get the "Unable to reproduce compalint" response.
The Apple Specialist said that would not necessary, he would request the replacement.
He did indicate that the engineers said it "normal" I said no way.
I have a box on the way.
When and if they repair it I will note the part number on the Service Details report to all.
Crossing Fingers! No fix and it is E-Bay time.

  • In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings.  Has anyone found a fix for this?

    In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings.  Has anyone found a fix for this?

    It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
    each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
    ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
    It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
    Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
    However, even if presented with multiple prints with
    the same name, the spooler should print each one!
    The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
    As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file.

  • Is Apple working on a fix for editing photos for wallpaper, call contacts with photo, etc? The iPhone used to be so intuitive for everything but that tanked with the ios7 upgrade

    iPhone 5 was so intuitive before the update. Editing photos has changed for the worst-any word of a fix for editing photos for wallpaper? Not a work around, a fix. If I wanted this kind of photo editing I'd still be using my droid x.
    Anyway to go back to ios6?

  • Is Apple working on a fix for ios6 that will stop it from using huge data in the iphone 4s?

    When I upgraded my iPhone 4s to ios6, it started using huge amounts of data.  My provider refuses to reimburse me.  Today they told me that Apple has acknowledged the problem and has fixed it in ois6.3.  However, ois6.3 is unavailable for the 4s, and my provider tells me that Apple has not acknowledged that the problem exists in the 4s.  They referred me to Apple.  However, because the phone is off warranty, I will have to pay $35 + tax to talk to an Apple rep--and surely Apple knows the problem extends to the 4s, because it is widely discussed on-line.  I have not seen any reference to whether Apple is working on a fix for the 4s.  Does anyone know?  I can't afford this much longer and am going to have pay a lot of money to switch phones.  And when I switch phones, it won't be an Apple, which will also make me sad--but it is ridiculous for them to produce a problem that is costing so much money and then not to acknowledge it exists.  I am hoping that having addressed it in the 5, they will now turn to the 4s.  Does anyone know?

    Yeah, the 6.0.2 update was rolled out to deal with that issue amongs others. But getting it out for the older models was either not high priority or more complex than they anticipated. So the wait continues till it shows up on the update channel.
    Pestering Apple Support might not get it done quicker, but at least will offer some sort of vicarious revenge and relief.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
    Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
    If you still have problems, then from the Font Book menu bar, select
              File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
    You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
    Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

  • My Mac has been stolen, but I have my iCloud account setup. The "find my mac" app has found the apartment block it's in, but I need an IP address. Is there a way to see the IP address of my Mac through iCloud?

    My Mac has been stolen, but I have my iCloud account setup. The "find my mac" app has found the apartment block it's in, but I need an IP address for the police to go and claim it. Is there a way to see the IP address of my Mac through iCloud? I've tried to get the IP address through Gmail and Dropbox but no success. Is there any software that updates automatically that I could find the IP address through?

    Shouldn't the IP address be on the box you bought the machine in? If you have the box, take it to the police as evidence that it's your machine. If I were you, I would set the firmware password when you get it back, but make sure you have the password written down in a safe place. If you forget it, there's only two ways to reset it. Either pay $400+ for the tool that can do it, or pay almost nothing for Apple to do it, I think it depends on where you live. The firmware password is this encrypted password and it can't be hacked either. The password prevents anyone from booting the machine into recovery mode, thus preventing them from restoring the computer to factory settings or performing any other functions. It's not stored in the hard drive so replacing that will be of no use either.
    I hope you get your Mac back and I hope this was helpful!

  • Apple has removed the Google contacts push sync feature in 4.0.x. ?

    Apple has removed the Google contacts push sync feature in 4.0.x.
    Bug / Oversight ?
    As shown in "http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252" ( and as used in my old iPhones running 3.x.x ) under "Settings=>Mail,Contacts,Calendars=>Gmail" you could select to sync "Mail, Contacts, Calendars". I have used this feature for the past year or so and it's been great.
    Now, under iOS 4.0.x you can only choose to sync Mail, Calendars, Notes. The choice to sync "Contacts" has been removed by Apple.
    Here is where it gets interesting: My wife ran a backup and restore to move from her iPhone3GS to iPhone4. Whereas I did a complete fresh install.
    Her phone continues to sync contacts, mine does not.
    When I drill into "Settings=>Mail,Contacts,Calendars=>Gmail" on her iPhone4 there are two now two accounts with identical names and all other details the same. One which syncs Mail and Notes
    The second syncs Contacts and Calendars
    For some reason they can exist concurrently. This is not the case on my iPhone4 ( fresh install ) which only allows one account and will not give the option of push syncing contacts
    To be honest I've found it incredibly irritating that this feature has been removed in 4.0.x ! Syncing google contacts instantly, transparently and automatically over WiFi/3G has been incredibly useful and I'm pretty gutted that it has suddenly just been taken away !

    Is this when creating and accessing the account as an Exchange account, or when creating the account using the Gmail account preset which creates the account as an IMAP account?

    I have an epson T50 shared network, which is connected to a computer that runs on Windows 7 64-bit. The 10 days Apple has updated the printer drive and since then has been trying to print the following message: / Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS/ rastertoescpII failed.
    What should I do?

    The first thing you should do is re-write your post to make it a bit more understandable. I got you have an Epson printer connected to your PC, however after that  your post doesn't make any sense. Are you attempting to print from your iMac, if so then you need to download and install Bonjour for Windows on your Windows machine. Then set Windows so it has printer sharing turned on and then on the iMac simply follow Apple's instructions for adding a printer.

  • Apple preps second software fix for flickering 27-inch iMacs

    Monday, January 25, 2010 - 12:06 PM EST
    By AppleInsider Staff
    Published: 11:50 AM EST
    AppleCare technicians: A second fix for screen flickering affecting the hardware is due within 3 weeks.
    In a thread on the Apple Discussions forums that spans nearly 250 pages, users have begun to report conversations with AppleCare representatives who claim a new update is forthcoming. A month ago, Apple released a software fix for the flickering issue on the 27-inch iMac, but since then users have said it did not address the problem. One user, Dennis Murphy, said he was told that AppleCare technicians were issued a bulletin on Saturday that stated a fix would be released in about three weeks. The Apple employee was allegedly instructed to collect customer contact information so they can be reached when the fix is released.
    "This would clearly explain the extended shipping times we're seeing," Murphy wrote on the forums.
    Last week, Apple delayed shipment of new direct-order 27-inch iMacs by three weeks. Supply issues have persisted for months, with Apple in December apologizing for the delays.
    Another poster, GuiltyVerdict, wrote Saturday that an Apple representative told them a combination software and driver patch is due in roughly three weeks. "This will reportedly resolve the issue of the screen flickering (it is not hardware causing the issue)," the user wrote.
    The three weeks allegedly cited by AppleCare technicians would coincide with the existing three-week wait time for direct orders of 27-inch iMacs. However, when contacted by AppleInsider Monday, an Apple representative said the three-week delay was not related to any hardware issues. Instead, they said the company has had trouble meeting up with demand for the new system, as some components are in limited availability. Still others have indicated system's internal graphics card cable could be the culprit. User ferris666 said they spoke with a technician who said the problem with the cable could not be fixed with a firmware update, though the "simple fix" has been implemented in newly produced machines.
    While most of the reports are tied to the 27-inch model, there are also users who have experienced the same symptoms with the 21.5-inch model. When it debuted in October, the new iMac was the best-selling desktop in the U.S. for the month. Various issues were reported quickly, though the screen flickering has remained for some time.

    I am not the engineer that you requested, but I think that you are missing the boat with the question. The 27" iMac already accepts 1080p. Any new Mac with a mini-DisplayPort can connect with the 27" iMac with a simple and inexpensive m-DP to m-DP cable and drive the iMac's display at its full resolution, 2560x1440 pixels.
    So if this is a bassackwards way of inquiring about why an XBox or some other device is limited to 720p, it is because the adapter (~US$150) used limits the resolution to 720p. If you use a scaler (~US$299), which has its own graphics chip, instead of an adapter, then it can drive the iMac's display at 1080p.

    Will Apple get out a fix for iOS6? it's terrible

    There is no reason to believe that they will stop doing this now.

  • Is apple working of a fix for this update error.  8.0.1 needs 610mb of space.

    Is apple working of a fix for this update error?  8.0.1 needs 610mb of space. Every time I try to install the latest update, I get this error:  "Updating to iOS 8.0.2 requires at least 610 MB of free space on your iPhone. Please change your media sync options to make more storage available."  There is way more space than that on my phone, (about 12gB) and no matter what i do, I keep getting this error.  And what the heck are media sync options?
    Also, my phone will not backup, giving me another error.  iTunes could not backup this phone, because it could not back up to this computer, or something to that effect.  Even trying to manually backup to iCloud, i get the same message about this computer.  Seems like it started with the last update to iTunes.

  • Found a fix for lightbox working locally but not on site!

    This was reply origionally but I felt I should post it. It seems to be a common problem and I was unable to find a resolution so here it is....
    I found a fix for something similar that occurred on my machine. I too was seeing no problems locally but when I posted it to my site, it just had the placeholder and no images....
    Apparently, dreamweaver is smarter than the browser... (maybe incorrect statement) however..... the file extensions are case sensitive!
    I had this-------- <A href="Img/CGM_1.JPG" border="0"  rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]" title="CGM Pic Set"><img src="Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG" /></a>
    <a href="Img/CGM_2.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]"></a>
                      <a href="Img/CGM_3.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]"></a>
                      <a href="Img/CGM_4.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.JPG]"></a>
    Well, I didnt think anything was so bad, all of the colors were right I wasn't getting any warnings.... wtf?
    As it turns out, and this is only because I just started a new image set after testing an individual - - baby steps - - if you use the properties bar at the bottom of DW, it applies a different case for specific parts...... i.e. this is what it produced
    <A HREF="Img/CGM_1.jpg" border="0"  rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]" title="CGM Pic Set"><img src="Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg" /></a>
                      <a HREF="Img/CGM_2.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]"></a>
                      <a HREF="Img/CGM_3.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]"></a>
                      <a HREF="Img/CGM_4.jpg" rel="lightbox[Img/CGM_1thumb.jpg]"></a>
    Notice the HREF's are now UPPER case and the jpg's are now lower case. !!!! really?!?!?
    Also, another thing to look out for is the folder/ in front of your thumbnail; make sure it is there. In my case I use my sam "Img" folder, not the "images" folder that lightbox creates.
    Hope this helps, I beat my head against the wall for a total of 10 hours over 2 days trying to figure this out. I couldn't find anything on the internet. I'm going to post this so others having this issue get it resolved. I found those, just no resolution.

    Thanks for your quick response
    I tried what you said and I still had no avail...
    There is a style.css file in the root directory but for some reason you cant access it...
    I checked the file permissions of style.css and they are: 644
    Its really wierd - I dont understand why it isnt reading...
    Also regarding {www.care.cc} all of my clients websites are under the same web hosting service, so he set the default "404 page not found" redirects to {www.care.cc} which is their "Main Site" as such - I understand that this is bad practice but unfortunatley I have no control over these matters as I have limited access too my clients web hosting.
    Thanks again for the Help

  • HT4356 Up photos mart c7100 series wireless printer does not show up as a printer. Anyone found a fix for for use with ipad3?

    Up photos mart c7100 series wireless printer does not show up as a printer. Anyone found a fix for for use with ipad3?

    It sounds like the features are working through the USB connection rather than the wireless connection since it is still not seeing the networks.
    Everything points to a hardware failure since the steps provided through the private message did not work and the wireless test showed it had failed.  Sorry.
    You do have some options at this point.
    If it is under warranty, either standard or extended, you can contact HP support at 1-800-474-6836 to have it serviced under warranty.
    If it is out of warranty, you can still contact HP support to find out all the options and the cost of each option.  However, it is my opinion that this money would be better spend being applied towards a new printer.
