Bad pixel streak yet again and after warranty.

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) This is very frustrating being this should not be an issue in first place. This is a replaced screen that was replaced due to bad pixels an now more bad pixels on the new screen. Apple store said it did fail the in house screen tests but it is out of warranty and i need to pay to have it replaced. Apple employee said its like a hard drive and apple is not responsible if it fails. Very poor example, they are not the same and essentially the SCREEN should not have repetitive issues of this nature. This is clearly a defect in the product that i love and they will not replace.
Can someone help?

HT4623 I have an Iphone 4s factory unlocked. I got At&t again and after updating to iOS 6.0 my iphone its not working propertly.

I have an Iphone 4s factory unlocked. I got At&t again and after updating to iOS 6.0 my iphone its not working propertly. I dont have the carriers option nor Im able to face time using cellular data. Any suggestions!?

Do you have an AT&T carrier file number showing? The only time you can use Facetime on AT&T cellular is if you are using one of their Shared Data plans. While they have not locked your phone, it appears their carrier file is in control of your device when you have the AT&T SIM card in there.

I have reformatted my computers yet again and because apple makes everything copmplicated I can not deauthorize until september 20, 2012! How do I bypass this?

I have 3 Computers at home, I am studying computer sciences and am constantly rerformatting my computers, installing windows and linux over and over again.... EVERYTIME I reformat I have to authorize the same computer and so it takes up one of my 5 authorized computers... Anyways after deauthorizing all my computers in september I was not aware I couldn't do it for another year (why does APPLE assume these stupid tactics prevent piracy). Anywysw I need to reach apple and have them make it so I can do it again. I had a similar problem with Playstation and when I called them they fixed it for me... even windows (which you can only have one serial per computer) made it easy because all I had to do was call them and they fixed it for me. Now I need APPLE to do the same and this is the only place I could see to actually say what is going on... I can't believe I have to do this with my iPhone... I wanted an mp3 player and a phone together and if I can't put new songs until September 20, 2012 I am going to freak out!
HELP!

Computer issue - green/purple pixels in videos before and after rendering and bios shutdown

I built a new desktop for editing video during the summer. In the past week or two I've encountered some serious issues.
Ex. A: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8476/8374160517_0bb791f218_c.jpg
While editing in Premiere or AE CS6 I've been getting these weird lines appear randomly. If I close the program and re-open it, it'll disappear, and sometimes reappear at another point in the timeline. Really strange. I also have active backgrounds enabled and green or purple patches of pixels will sometimes appear. If I tell windows to go to the next background, the pixels usually go back to normal.
BIOS blue screen shutdown
I could be watching vimeo or youtube or doing video editing and suddenly get a shut down error. It also happened while playing the CRYSIS demo, although I had a perfectly smooth experience until that happened.
Here are my specs:
Windows 7 home premium
MSI 7751 mobo
Intel i7-3770S 3.10GHz
16GB G.Skills Ripjaw RAM
NVIDIA 560 Ti 1GB
500w PSU corsair
WD 1TB caviar black HD
Asus xonar audio card
128 GB sandisk SSD
Do you guys think this is a graphics card or PSU issue? My computer is next to a metal cabinet, but has plenty of room for air ventilation. The graphics card and CPU temps have generally been between 30-40 degrees Celsius, and always under 50 C (even when rendering), so I doubt overheating is an issue. Checked with HWMonitor.
ESET Nod 32 doesn't detect any viruses

>suddenly get a shut down error
What is the text of the error message?
Read Bill Hunt on BSOD http://forums.adobe.com/thread/772169
My best GUESS is that you have a power supply problem
>NVIDIA 560 Ti 1GB - 500w PSU corsair
According to some notes I made http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/GPU.HTM the 560Ti draws 170 watts
Use the Power supply calculator http://extreme.outervision.com/index.jsp (the PRO version has more options) to determine your power supply needs
Even if the calculator says you are "somewhere" under 500 watts, you MAY simply have a "weak" power supply

Macbook Pro keeps going to Mac OS X Utilities on start-up and can't do anything to get past it. I have tried everything.. even installing Mac OS X Lion again and after 6 hours of loading it said it couldn't load! Please help!?

..

This worked amazingly!! Thanks for the post awvik360!
I was able to access the internal hard drive and perform a permissions fix through disk utility and re-apply the OS X 10.5.6 combo update on a totally debilitated machine (Mac Pro early 08).
Some clarification though:
{{ I used a MacBook Pro instead of USB/ExternalHD to run a working copy of OS X. }}
~ Just start up the healthy OS X (laptop) in target disk mode (hold 't' key while it powers up)
~ Connect it to the impaired Mac with the highest speed cable available (fire800>fire400>USB)
~ Start up the impaired Mac while holding the alt/option key to select the boot drive.
~ Select the connected OS X (laptop hard disk) and start er up.
~ Run disk utility and you can now use the Fix Permissions option on the impaired Mac's internal hard drive.
~ Run the OS X Combo Update (or presumably other offending update/program) and make sure to change the destination to the internal disk of the impaired Mac
~ Shut down, unplug target disk, start up, and you should be good to go.
I was in some kind of uber-kernel panic and could not start up in safe mode OR from the installation disc, and this worked! Definitely a good emergency procedure to have in your back pocket.
Note: ...target disk pairing must be in this direction. I tried setting up the impaired Mac as target and connecting it to running laptop, and it let me run the install fine, but it didn't fix the problem...must be something with permissions that the impaired Mac needs to install to itself, even if the OS is running on another disk/machine.

Screen has a bad pixel

How long does it take to get your phone back if you send it in for repairs or will they swap it out for a new one?

They'll likely just replace your device. That's what they did for my first one when it had a bad pixel.... and my second one when it froze during voice input during navigation or texting... and my third one when it wouldn't scroll all the way down to the end of my photo album... and my fourth one because it was an unacceptable replacement (case not aligned and nicks on the edges). BTW the 3rd and 4th ones were "factery certified like new"... yeah right.
If you call them on the phone they'll just send you a "new" one with a return label for yours.
I gotta tell you, I really like the functionality of this phone when it functions correctly but this is getting ridiculous. Maybe I'll start a new thread with my gripes to see if I'm in this boat alone.

I tried to do a system install, but message said…disk can't be changed. Will a complete erase and install fix this ?
Everything is backed-up.

There's hardware and software.
Your drive could physically be in good condition but something has caused the file structure to be messed up (it just happens sometimes). The directory that keep track of files is corrupt. Disk Utility can help determine if that is the issue. In some cases it can repair the problem but it cannot do it to a drive that is being used to boot the system while you are doing that. You have to boot from another drive. Some things DU cannot repair and you need to try a stronger utility such as Diskwarrior.
A failing hard drive (one with mechanical issues) can be a cause of file structure issues but this is by no means always the case. Apart from looking at the SMART diagnosis feature of Disk Utility (and smart isn't totally reliable) there often isn't a way to tell if a drive is failing until it suddenly happens, which is why you need to maintain backups.
In your situation it does sound serious and not just minor directory corruption. You can try erasing (formatting) the drive, You may need to do this if it is really corrupt, in which case there could be underlying physical issues. I use old technology but if you have the patience you can try erasing the drive with the security option of writing zeros once (don't do more unless you are going on a 3 week vacation). This makes the drive not simply assume everything is okay by forcing it try every part of the drive by writing data. If something is gong wrong you may find it marks a lot of bad sectors, or flat out refuses to format. Then you know you need a new drive.

I'm having all kinds of problems since loading Lion and I really wish I hadn't bought it yet. Even after the software update today, 1. my modem still won't work, 2. Photoshop Elements produces muddy photo prints, etc. Anybody at Apple listening?

10.7 was horrible unstable so I waited until 10.7.1 and tried it again. Well I have to say that it is still a defective OS. I am reverting to Snow as we speak from my carbon clone copy.. This is really the worst OSX I have ever used. It gives me random Kernel panics for no reasons, unstable airport and hundreds of small issues that are just not necessary. For instance I can't use QuickTime in Lion to trim a videoclip ( the UI goes mad and the trimslider becomes inoperable and hangs the Player window ) while in Snow it is no problem. Itunes gives me crackling sound when the equalizer is turned on, Graphical glitches in Photoshop, games crashing, Preview.app not working with some pdfs, so I need Adobes reader which I never used before.. It is definately not ripe for mass usage. Might 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 fix it, but not yet.
* and just for the records : the hardware is absoltely ok. Because in Snow it works as it should. ( So many Lion fanbois are talking : "your Ram is defect", defintely NOT. - Lion is defect! ).
Shame on you Apple.

My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked?

My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, I call apple support and they told me to bring it in but the nearest store is about two hours away. They said I need it to erase my hard drive but I have too many family pics on it.
would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked on it? I could replace the internal and get an enclosure for the original until I get the pics out of it?
Please advise, it's like five years of family pics I don't wanna loose them and I am worried.
Thanks

A Brody,
I really apprecate your very quick respond, Its too late to back up as of now, my hard drive wont load at all so I cannot follow your instruction to back it up. Learn a hard lesson but I will from now on following your link.
Also my hard drive it is not available to do the free exchange program.
I read the OWC instruction on how to replace the drive I was just wondering if the 2TB would work on it instead of the 1 TB they offer, I specifically asked for the Seage Barracuda because I had great experiences with it on PCs.
Again, Thank you

I'm assuming error 3259. Temporarily disable ALL of your antispyware/antivirus software, open your firewall and try again.

Thanks Jakob. You are correct.
I just finished another "experiment".
I transcode the whole clip 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 to another ext Western Digital HDD and got the Error -50 too. Problem is this ext Western Digital HDD is Daisy chained to the LaCIe.
So, I tried transcoding to another ext Western Digital HDD connected to my router. And this time NO PROBLEM.
So, I should readjust the FW800 connectors.
What do you mean by the controller of the Firewire ?
Thanks

All I'm saying is, the error -50 from the Finder normally means there is something spooky going on.
Here, the LaCie drives become unstable. In the few cases where I'v actually opened the cage and put the HDD into another mount, the HDD seems to be fine, so I suspect it's either the FW connectors of the controller itself.
If the drive is under warranty, replace it, otherwise, move your data to another drive if it startes to do so frequently.
Here, the drive will 'behave' normally for some time after a reboot of the OS, but it's a pain to reboot every X hours...

My iPhone 5 crackles and pops loudly during calls (with and without speaker phone.) I'm experiencing this same same issue on my third iPhone. Is this a common problem? Short of getting the phone replaced (yet again!) is there a solution?

My iPhone 5 frequently crackles and pops loudly during calls (while using speaker phone, as well as not using speaker phone.) After being inspected by techs at the Genius Bar, my phone has been replaced twice; thus, I am currently on my third iPhone 5. Incredibly, I am, yet again, experiencing the exact same issue. Short of getting my fourth iPhone, is anyone aware of a solution?

if it's the exact same issue, either it's a problem with your service or with your software if you're restoring from a backup each time. it's pretty darn near impossible for 3 phones to have the same exact hardware issue, so that's unlikely. is this an at&t iphone? if so, are you continuing to use the same sim card? if so, get a new one and try that out. if that's not the issue, restore the phone as new and make a few phone calls. if the issue's gone away, there's something wrong with your backup

Turquoise and Red Pixel streaks while browsing

I'm hoping someone can help me with this (thanks X 1000 if you can!)
I've had my Macbook for a little over a year NEVER dropped, always handled with the utmost care.
Recently noticed blotches of red pixel on my desk top (with a dark screen saver) when I browse the internet with a mostly white page I see blotches of turquoise pixels. (THE RED AND TURQUOISE BLOTCHES STREAK WHEN I SCROLL, OR CLICK THE WINDOW AND DRAG IT AROUND THE SCREEN)
I've THOROUGHLY tried to research this on my own - THIS IS NOT A DEAD PIXEL ISSUE -DEAD PIXELS DONT MOVE!!!
It almost seems like a refresh issue, because if I scroll down further, or (click-drag) highlight the effected area it goes away until I scroll again.
* I ran a hardware check (reboot, and hold down D') and it came back clean...
I'm at wits end and when this laptop was purchased it was close to 3 grand! I dont want to shell out another cent until I know (or at least have a pretty good idea what the issue is)

HT4623 its happinig second time after update my (ios) i tunes not reconized my phone and i have to setup again and again im tired of it .... im using iphone5

hello im from istanbul turkey
i have iphone5 and after get ios7 two times itunes(newest itunes) do not recognized my phone every time i have to get upgrade again coluld you help me before throw it to window ?

You will need to restore the software via the following procedure:
Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
