Apple will sell no whine before its time

<<<< WHINE UPDATE >>>>
I believe the latest firmware update (1.0.1) has changed the quality of the whine. It hasn't gotten rid of it, it has just made it sound...different... (in my opinion). Of course, I'm willing to admit this could be my imagination.
On a related note, try this App: it uses the whine to play a musical scale!

Yet another interesting whine-related thing is this:
The link below is a funny, cogently argued article about Apple's noisy analogue circuitry. "...[A]nalog circuits in consumer electronics should not make audible noise under normal operating conditions." A simple yet powerful arguement. Surely, even Steve Jobs would agree.

All this makes me wonder what Jobs thinks of the MBP noise? I wish a journalist would ask him. Unfortunately, most of the journalists who get close enough are sycophants who are, in one way or another, sucking on the Apple teat.

No... he would say he doesn't hear it. He could say that none of the MacBooks he saw had the whine problem. Or he would say that HIS own MacBooks doesn't whine.
Like many AppleHeads in this forum.

    There is no such information currently available because Apple is not currently selling unlocked iPhones 5s anywhere. When they announce that information then you will know along with the rest of us users here.

  • Macbook battery dead before its time

    I was disappointed to hear that Apple Canada would not stand behind the replacement of what I consider a faulty product.
    Although my Macbook is past its one-year warranty period I feel its lithium battery had died well before its expiration cycle count 133 vs a typical 300.
    Apple needs to improve its quality assurance and customer relations.

    Apple considers batteries Consumables which is why its not covered under warranty.
    Please do us all a favor and either attempt to help, or at least consider us intelligent enough to understand that batteries are indeed consumables.
    No one is arguing that a battery should last years. I realize it may be the popular opinion around this message board that those of us who are experiencing problems are simply wanting a free lunch. I would like to say that personally, I don't believe that's me.
    Apple states that they feel their batteries should last 300 cycles while still being usable. I have less than 150 cycles on mine and it's acting strange. I get about 20 minutes out of a charge while working, 40 of just letting it sit there. They admitted problems with my laptop serial number (mine falls in the serial number range I read somewhere that was affected by the battery problems) and yet they state that they cannot do anything about it.
    We don't want a free lunch. We feel that if we pay over $1000 for a mobile computer that it should be able to be, well, mobile. I'd gladly purchase a new battery for my laptop if I felt that it was old enough to be having problems. But frankly, my 6 year old junky Dell laptop has better battery life out of it's original battery than my Macbook has right now. I consider this a problem and I think that we, as consumers, are entitled to be treated with respect and have our concerns answered. I don't feel this has happened.
    I even went so far as to ask the last time I called support if I could mail it in on my dime to be checked out. They said no. How then, am I ever supposed to get service? If I call and tell them I want to pay them to look at my computer and they refuse, I consider this a major issue.
    Of course, this is just my $0.02.

  • Preload external content before its time

    Is it possible to preload content before a person looking at your site requests it, for instance when your website loads and is displayed other content and pages will start preloading in a certain order with out the website user knowing?

    I created a movie clip set the alpha to 0 and used this code in the
    first frame of the movie clip, the movie showed up when it wasn't
    supposed to
    loadMovieNum("movie1.swf", 1);

    I also tried the code
    loadMovie("movie1.swf")
    stop()
    that didn't work, and flash didn't like the code

    I want to remove the rental movie from my apple tv before its expiring time. Can someone help me?

    Put it in DFU and do an update. This will not only update it, but it will remove all settings. DFU =  hold menu+play while plugging it in.

    My iphone 5 will freeze up and turn off and back on. It will go to the apple screen and then go black MULTIPLE times before it comes back on. No buttons work while this happens. My phone is a week old.

    User troubleshooting is restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you perform these steps and it still doesn't work, then make an appointment at the Apple Genius bar and have the hardware checked.

  • Apple TV changed battery screen shows setting  time etc now it will not start

    I had to change battery in remote (2nd gen apple TV) now it starts setting time etc screen is blank. I swithced it off waited 30 secs, no luck!!!!
    I cannot go to menu as it does not allow me. Has anyone got any suggestions??

    Here's what finally worked for me with Apple TV 3rd generation. Out of the box, when setup with wi-fi, it breezed through without any issue. As soon as I powered down and connected it to another tv (same wi-fi network), it got stuck at setting date/time. The remote would help in getting out of it, but the home would only have "Computers" and "Settings" and pretty much useless except for AirPlay. Here's what I did to resolve this:
    1. On your main router, temporarily disable the firewall or set it to the lowest setting allowable (a reboot of the router maybe required).
    2. Restart apple tv via the "restart" option in the "General" option in the main settings menu.
    3. It should breeze through and not show the "Setting date/time" screen.
    4. Once it loads up properly, turn on your fire wall as before  (a reboot of the router maybe required).
    I think it worked for me out of the box, but auto-update to the latest software introduced this bug. So, everytime apple tv tries to synch with the time server, this issue will come back. To disable this, I turned off the "auto time synch" option in Settings -> General.
    I am fairly confident that I'd be able to use steps 1 through 4 anytime this recurs. Possible scenarios causing recurrence of this issue:
    1. Unplugging the power to apple tv or power failures.
    2. OS updates.
    3. Restoring apple tv using "Restore" or via micro-usb and iTunes to the lastest OS.
    Hope this helps. Please post if this works for you.

    Where are you and where did you get the phone? All iPhones come with a 1 year warranty from the original date of sale.
    Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and take it in for them to have a look at.

  • I have a partition on my IMac disk and Windows 7 loaded on one partition.  I tried to open and W7 will not open and cannot repair itself.  Is there a diagnostic/disk repair from Apple that I can try before reloading W7?

    Csound1 What Ive been trying to explain is that I have been running bootcamp, I open the app where the first screen is the introduction, i hit continue, the first time I select "download the latest windows support software fromm Apple" then I return and instead select "Install Windows 7." Then hit continue. The third screen is where I "Create a Partition for Windows" I set Windows to 80 gigs then hit INSTALL. As stated before Bootcamp cannot find the install drivers saying "The installer disc could not be found." My windows software is on a USB drive not a disc, I tried using a virtual disc reader to make it appear that the windows software was running on a disc, still no luck. What I would like to know is how to install windows on bootcamp.

  • If i have apple care for my Ipod, will that cover it if its stolen or lost?

    Does apple care cover, my ipod if its lost or stolen?

    No unfortunetely not. That's insurance kind of coverage which Apple doesn't sell. Check with your credit card or homeowner's insurance and see if they will cover it. There are also independent companies that sell insurance on individual devices, a quick internet search will take you a long way!

  • When I try to rent a movie from Apple TV, I'm told it will be 3 hrs. before I can view it. I hit return on the menu button; attempt to Play; then told it will be 5 hrs. before I can view the movie. What's up with that?

    When trying to rent a movie from Apple TV, I'm told it will be 3 hrs. before I can view the movie; then told 5 hrs., etc. What's up with that?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I'm not sure if you are referring to how long it's taking or why it varies.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
    If your internet speed varies, the time will be recaculated from time to time.

    Just got a new iPhone 6, selling my 5 to Amazon. Trying to follow Apple instructions to erase content before sending but 5 will not connect to iCloud so I can't proceed - when promoted to enter password I keep getting "Verification failed. There was an error connecting to iCloud". I have checked apple id/password multiple times and they are correct. Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance

    HFJ,
    every once in a while my iPhone 5 fails to recognize my Apple ID. I don't have to go all the way to Restore to Factory Settings, I just have to turn off the phone. (Hold down top button until screen asks to slide if you want to turn it off.)  Give it a few seconds, turn it on again.
