Back from the shop...again

I love my iMac and wouldn't give it up for anything (well, maybe a quad).
My rev A had the main board replaced 4-5 months ago for the leaking capacitors. Almost immediately I noticed the milky white line that seems to be common in the lower left corner. I didn't want to take it in again so I lived with it.
Two weeks ago my computer started going dead randomly and it got progrssively worse. Back to the shop for a new power supply (leaking capacitor in it), and a new display to fix the white line.
All seems well so far. I have only had it since this morning though.
Just thought that I would post an update.

mwachel: My Rev A needed a new power supply about a month ago. I first smelled burning and a day later it went dead. Fortunately, I have an authorized reseller/warranty repair business locally and I got it back 3 days later.
What symptom did you experience that led you to know that your capacitors leaked? The repair guy checked my capacitors and said they were all ok. But I've noticed only what I can call a sort of "sizzle" sound every few moments which lasts for about 5 seconds and then goes away for a minute or two. You have to listen kinda close because it's rather low-pitched. I back up everything about every 10 days or so (all I add are itunes and occasional photos).
I hope you're good to go now for a long while. I think that if it soon happens again to you you might want to ask for a new computer. Three times in a year would qualify as a "lemon" if it was a car! walt

I Purchased the hobbit desolation of smaug, the download completes, but then starts from the beginning again, using up more data.

Okay, you need to contact support definitely about what's going on. Here is a form that will send an e-mail into support for you:

As far as the prices, the difference is likely the laptop version is the SD version and the iPad one is available in HD. That's the only reason you'll see a price difference. It has nothing to do with the device with movies/movie rentals. Apps yes, these no.

5800 back in the shop again

Sadly, even after a repair for Comm. problems, audio problems, I had to send the unit back because they simply are not solved. Specifically when I make a call with 5 bars signal, as soon as I hit send, the bars count down to one or none. I think dialing or talking causes some kind of power drain that affects the antenna reception. Also, sometimes, when I pick up a call, the caller cannot hear me and must call back. Lastly, even after a SIM card replacement, sometimes, when I dial, immediately NO ANSWER is displayed and the call is never connected.
The only thing that seems to work consistently is WIFI access. I hope this repair, or hopefully, a replacement, will perform properly.

Sad to hear that you are ahving problems with your 5800XM, but it is very likely to be something that doesn´t happen very often since I have a 580XM myself (and some of my friends do) and we´re not having any kind of prolem with it!
Let´s hope you can feel the same soon!
By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.

HT1296 How do I back up the calendar and contacts from my iPhone5 to my new macbook pro(10.8.3)? I have backed up the phone, but it does not transfer the calendar or the contacts. If I check them in the sync area and the back up the phone again...

How do I back up the calendar and contacts from my iPhone5 to my new macbook pro(10.8.3)? I have backed up the phone, but it does not transfer the calendar or the contacts. If I check them in the sync area and then back up the phone again will they transfer or be erased? I am a bit gun shy since my previous macbook pro committed suicide and I lost a ton of info there.

Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer.

I bought an iPad 5 days before my mum did. My one set up from switching on. My mums what a nightmare had to take it back to the shop for them to down load iCloud. How can they sell 2 different products?

I bought an ipad2 5 days before my mum. Mine started to set up from the minute I switched it on. However my mums what a nightmare. After many hours of trying to solve the problem and searching the Internet we took it back to the shop. This one had to have iclouds downloaded from iTunes. Was told that they are the same? When you looked at the boxes the discription on the back was different and mine had a tiny silver cloud sticker on it which ment it didn't have to down load th iOS soft ware from iTunes. I wish I had known at the time that there was 2types out there as I would have asked for my mums to be the same as mine. Not happy.

Sounds like one unit had iOS 5, the other had iOS 4. Unfortunately it happens that some units are shipped from the factory at different times with different Operatin Systems installed.

I have an iPod whose contents I want to transfer to a newer Ipod. At some stage I lost the music files from my library. Is there any way to get them back from the older iPod and put them onto the newer one again? I stupidly synced the wrong one.

Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, external drives ? If not then you could have a look to see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893

Hello i just came back from the apple store and they had to restore my phone and i just downloaded all my apps and music back but my photos that are on icloud i only got 80 out of 768 back. what do i do to get all of them back?

If you tried to restore to your iCloud backup and your photos didn't fully restore, first go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and make sure it isn't still in the process of restoring.
If the restore is complete and all your photos weren't restored, all you can do is try restoring the backup again. You might try the solution posted by ezjules in this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589. This involves opening the photos app after the phone restarts and you provide the passwords for your Apple IDs, then leaving it open for the remainder of the restore process.

Just got back from the Apple Store...optical drive officially dead

I just got back from the Apple Store, which confirmed what I feared all along. I received my MBP C2D over the holidays and was worried when it had trouble booting up several times. After trying to burn a few cds (some would quit, others worked fine), and a few discs that refused to read or eject I visited the boards to find out that issues with the Matshita UJ 587 were widespread. At this point my computer does not even recognize the ATA or Disc Burning hardware or the OSX disc inside. The only positive to come out of this is the customer service offered by Apple. I took the computer to the genius bar and the computer refused to boot up after the tech installed an OSX disc (hence the stuck cd inside). They are giving me a new computer since this one is brand new, but unfortunately I will have to order it from Apple Care since it is a custom job. For all of you out there with early MBP C2D optical drives that are acting up I feel your pain. Get your computer into an Apple store before the problem gets worse, these optical drives are awful.
Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thank you. After 2 hours on the phone with Apple Care this morning they finally confirmed what the Mac Genius told me last night. The computer was shipped back this afternoon and I'll post again if there's any trouble with the new unit, I think I just got a lemon with this one...too bad. This is my first Mac so I'm really trying hard to stay positive.

I am having problems with the wifi connection on my ipad 4th generation only 3 weeks old. Have left it back to the shop i bought it in and they said they have to send it away now i am left with no ipad. What after sales support do you give really?

Does anyone else have problems with the wifi connection on their 4th generation Mine keeps going off line and its only 3 weeks old.I had the ipad mini and this problem never existed. I brought it back to the shop where i bought it Expert Laois last week and they said they couldnt find a problem but had to take it back today as it keeps disconneting from wifi still, anyway they are sending it back for repair and it am left with no ipad. After spending in excess of 700e i feel that this is really bad after sales service. I bought something that i want to use now and cant so what a waste of money it is .

Thankyou, but the shop said that they spoken to apple and that they have now changed their policy and that they do not give a replacement. So are you telling me that their information is false. Also what should they have done. This problem has existed since i bought it.????? What should i do?????

AGP 400 G4 back from the dead... and needing another HDD and a USB2 card!

Hello!
Well, my old 400mhz Sawtooth G4 is back up! OMG! It's so much faster than the old 400mhz iMac DVSE (G3) from the same year - and I don't know if that's due more to the processor, cache, or video ram, but i'm not complaining!
I have a WD hard drive that's currently installed in my iMac - an 80G, EIDE drive. Inside the G4, I currently have a 60GB Maxtor drive (that I removed from the iMac a while back). I need to put the HDD in - but seem to have a problem. if you've ever seen the HDD sled that the the original HDD comes in - you'll notice that it is, for lack of better term, a double-decker sled. There's a lower "slot", if you will, that contains one drive - attached using the screws on the top of the HDD. There's also a second "slot" above that appears to need me to screw in this HDD using screw holes on the side! This would be fine - except that this sled bumps out on one side about 1/4" - so I'd need very long screws to install the HD - I don't have them.
Here's a picture: If the HTML won't work here, just visit the site.
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c384/digidan/G4-HDD-annotated.jpg
I realize it's a bit difficult to see, but it's the best I have at the moment. See the circled screw, and how it's "bumped back" from the rest of the sled? Also note the short IDE cable.
There are other drive bays to towards the front, but the installed IDE cable only has enough length to reach this top bay. In addition, the ATA/IDE cable that came with the WD Drive is not long enough to reach to the next bay over. There's got to be something I'm missing. Next to going out and buying an ATA controller, there must be some way to use a second drive.
Ideas?
Secondly, I need to find a USB 2 PCI cad. I've heard that you just need to make sure that the card box says "Mac" on it somewhere. Our local best buy has a 2-port card for $30, and CompUSA has a 4 port for $40, both specifiy work with Mac. Is there a place online that has these cards for less, but is not ambiguous about OS?
Also - would a USB 2 PCI card slot give put out enough power to use a USB thumb drive, or charge an iPod?
Thanks, and let me know if I didn't make that clear!

15" 1.67 Powerbook G4 (Jan 2005), Slot loading 400mhz iMac DV SE, Mac OS X (10.4.8) 4G Clickwheel and 5G Vid iPods, 400Mhz Sawtooth G4 (work in progress)

If you're only going to have (2) hard drives
installed in the G4, you'd be better off moving one
of the single drive sleds to the dual-drive stack
bracket's position. Sonnet's "TCB-AGP" ribbon cable kit, includes custom-made
cables having adequate spacing between the two drive
connectors, allowing them to be mounted side-by-side.
This eliminates heat issues caused by placing one
drive on top of the other, preventing the
dissipation of heat generated by the lower drive.
True, and a pretty good idea, but I don't want to pay $30 just yet - I'll be back in texas (and to a Fry's Electronics store) by thanksgiving - So I'll have a bit of a... shopping list Since they have pretty much every concievable type of component you can think of, I'm sure they'll have some cheap, individual ATA cables I can make work. Is it just a standard ATA-66 cable? I suppose ATA 133 is backwards compatible too, considering the 60 Gig drive is ATA 133! (who knew?!)
As per the "long screws", I misunderstood what you were trying to say, and the way it was supposed to be mounted. I thought that it was supposed to be mounted from only one side! Needless to say, this didn't make sense. I didn't realize that the left side of the bracket actually bends in like that - neat.
So, all that's left now is to get a USB 2 card. OWC has an Iogear (http://eshop.macsales.com/item/IOGEAR/GIC251U/) card that looks good - does anyone have experience with this card and the sleep issue? I realize that it's a rather random problem, so there's no way to know for sure whether or not it will have probems, but I'd like input on it if anyone has some.
And I STILL think internal USB/FW ports aren't much more than a gimmick.... I have yet to see a "Internal USB device". Oh well, I suppose it's good to have if/when it's ever needed.
Thanks,
-Dan

How can I get my Aperture library back from the Photos application?

As stated above, How can I get my Aperture library back from the Photos application? I'm not a fan of Photos right now and haven't used iPhoto in years, so that wasn't a loss... I didn't realize when I gave Photo's access to my Aperture library, I was going to lose it...
I want to get it back, any suggestions?
Thanks again!
MacTeacherMN

I upraded some of my apps on my ipod touch, and one of them, my candy crush app is messed up, couldn't connect to facebook. tried re-installing it, same thing happened. now i have to start from the begining again, which really *****!! please help!!

There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
Delete ALL your email accounts.
Restart Playbook
Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON. Manual (push off) will burn battery.
Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required.
Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi.
Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.

HT201441 I would like to help where I can not open my iPad I bought it from the shop and iPad

Hi
I would like to help where I can not open my iPad I bought it from the shop and iPad user when I want to open the device to access the mechanism. Ask me to calculate the previous owner. I went to the store where you purchased told me Contact Apple. Please, I've lost a sum of money. Device number imei 013116000935329

Only the previous owner can help you. Take it back to the store and demand your money back. You will not be able to activate and use it without help from the previous owner. The shop should not have sold you an iPad that was still associated with the previous owner's account.

Back from the shop...again
