Battery - the big problem of apple!

One morning I found my MacPro surrounded in a liquid (battery* water). I brought it to a Mac service station and over three weeks after got the information: irreparable and no guarantee! and this after only 18 months!!! do i have to accept this verdict??!!

In the US, and in many other countries, Apple only warranties their computers for 12 months, unless you purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan. If you're not in the US, you should check the consumer laws of your country to find if you have further recourse.
I've never heard of any liquid inside of a MacBook Pro battery. The machine could probably be repaired but the cost would likely be quite expensive - better off just buying a new machine.
Just curious - did the Apple techs acknowledge that the liquid came from the battery?

    Hello everybody, I have the following problem: my apple id was desabled for security reason and I have to reset my password to enable the account again, but when I try to do this, using the e-mail, I've never received such e-mail. When I chose to do this by the security answers, it's not work again, because does not accept my birth date. Can you please somebody help with this issue? Thanks in advance

    If you have a rescue email address on your account then you've checked the inbox and spam folder on that account as well, and you've tried requesting the email again ? If you still can't find it then try contacting Support in your country and see if they can reset it for you.

  • Birthday and iCal...the big fail of Apple

    Why it isn't possible for Apple to program iCal right in the year 2009?
    I want that my contacts with birthday entries automaticly get entries in iCal. But what is with OS 3.0 no Birthday entry is seen.

    Ok, maybe I forgot the check box in iTunes, but it will not resolve the problem I have.
    If I add a new contact on my iPhone and set a birthday for him, it will not appear in iCal on my iphone.
    Maybe it will appear after synchronisation with iTunes, but it isn't uptodate, isn't it?

  • BIG Problem with Apple login

    Hi, Ive been on the phone all morning with an Apple representative but even she cant seem to sort it out.
    I upgraded to ios 7 yesterday (I waited because of all the nightmare bugs that were reported)
    Now I cant access my apple account.  It says my password is not recognised.  When I try to change it, I get the email, change the password, get an email saying password changed but when I try and access with the new password, it comes up with the same error message.
    It keeps going around in a loop and is very frustrating. I cant get any of my apps or itunes stuff.
    Can anyone help?  Please!!!

    Probably won't help but there might be something here that triggers a solution

  • Since latest upgrade I have 2 problems 1. fast dial didn't work, but has been fixed with changing the version. This happened before. Now the big problem is when I attempt to upload pics Facebook or attach documents to e-mail firefox crashes. HELP!

    tried several suggestions. Nothing works

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Quicken for Mac vs. Microsoft Money Plus I made the big change to Apple.

    Ok first off want to say I just bought my Mackbook with Apple Care from Amazon. Save about 175.00 with them so now its Mac time... well soon as it gets here.
    Now for the question... ok for those who answer this question I just want to say I still like windows and Microsoft is ok with me so not a hater. Now what is your thoughts on Quicken vs. MS Money. A lot of reviews seem to go against the Mac version of Quicken. Would you recommend installing MS XP and staying with money or going with Quicken.

    I maid up my own mind.

  • Invite to Apple Developer Team (member role - big problem)

    We have finished and approved an app for a big client that have an Apple Developer Company account (yes, they have many app just published on Apple Store).
    Now i have to build the app but they only send me an invite to Developer Team with a member role (i can only download provisioning certificates no other).
    The big problem is: how to use their P12 certificate if i can not build from XCode?
    Please it's very urgent!
    Really thanks.

    It sounds like you need to talk to the person at your client's company who is responsible for creating iOS certificates. Ask them to create an App ID (if it doesn't already exist), provision files, and push certificates. You'll need to obtain the p12 certificates and passwords in order to build the app. I don't think you can do that with your member sub account.

  • Is anyone else having the same authorization error when trying to view downloaded tv shows, etc. on apple tv?  I had the same problem a few weeks ago and was ultimately advised it was due to some sort of server error.

    A few weeks ago I had the same issue where items (tv shows) I purchased on itunes would not show using my apple tv on my main television.  It gives me an error stating I need to "authorize" the device/account etc.  There is no problem with the authorization it is correct; tv show plays on the computer.  The last time this happened the local apple store suggested I bring in my entire imac, hard drive, apple tv, etc.  This seemed crazy since I had been able to eliminate that there was a problem with my password, imac, etc.  I had also already tried all of the restore, reset, options to include restoring the apple tv, changing password and authorizing everything again.  Then I found out via an online discussion there were others having the same problem and it was due to some sort of server issue apple was having.  Is anyone else having this problem besides me again?

    I think I have the same problem.
    Apple TV 2. I can watch stuff I downloaded a while ago, but after I downloaded a season of a TV show on Friday night (Oct 28), I got the "Authorization Required" message. Ruined my Friday night trying to troubleshoot this, and found a bunch of posts on this forum about Apple's Servers being down can cause this. Since I'd done nothing different to my setup, I assumed that indeed "Apple's servers being down" was causing my grief.
    It's now Oct 31st, and I'm still getting the error on the newly-downloaded stuff. So either Apple's servers are having serious grief (and passing it on to me!) or else there might be something else after all.
    I've de-authorized and re-authorized my computer (I never thought for a second it would help because I can play "older stuff". Everything in my TV shows folder is bought from iTunes - i.e., it's all completely legit. We haven't even vacuumed behind the TV(!!) so we haven't disturbed anything... And the key info is that I can play stuff purchased prior to Oct 28th, but the stuff I purchased on Oct 28th hets the "Authorization required" message.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Bug with Lightroom 4? - Big problem in the keyword list!!

    Hello guys,
    I am Rafael Rojas, a nature and landscape photographer. This is my first post, trigered by a quite bothering problem I am having with my LR...So hello everybody!
    I upgraded to LR 4 a week ago. Today I realized many of the keywords I have installed in Lightroom do not appear on the keyword list (basically all keywords after the letter S). Moreover, half of the keywords which appear on the list are not editable: that is, I cannot assign them to the selected image (by clicking on the left box), or I cannot double click them or right click them to get the Edit panel. All the rest of keywords (those which appear on the list on top), can be edited and there is no problem.
    When I export the keywords as a .txt file (in metadata, export keywords) I can see that all the keywords are there. When I try to write some of them on the box LR recognize them and adds them automatically. However, I just cannot see them on my keyword list or just cannot edit them.
    The reason I want to edit the keywords is because many of them got desactivated while upgrading (something more people have reported). Right now, I cannot send my images to my stock galleries, since many of my important keywords are not active, and I just cannot edit them...
    Can you help me please?
    thanks so much!!
    rafael

    Well, 64 bits.
    And yes, it seems when I erase one keyword, the list "shows" one more below...so it seems the problem is related to a certain limit in number.
    That would be still a problem I could live with, the big problem tough is that many of the keywords got "deactivated" alone by Lightroom (see problem here described http://www.backyardsilver.com/2012/02/strange-behavior-with-capitalized-keywords/) and that means I NEED to edit some keywords which are really important and which are not active. Otherwise, when I export the images those keywords are not embedded...
    Any thoughts?
    Rafa

  • Having big problems with Creative Zen Micro Photo!! I need much urgent help!

    Hi. I am having a big problem with my MP3 Creative Zen Micro Photo device at the computer.Here is the thing:Before I bought this I had the regular Zen Micro & having fun with it. I had no problems with that when I used the Media Explorer to transfer songs. So I bought the Zen Micro Photo & installed it my computer. As normal I used the Media Explorer to transfer songs & pictures.So I reinstalled Windows XP at my computer, and when I installed the CD that followed to transfer new songs, the Windows said that it's an unknown thing I have connected in the USB.So I installed Service Pack & 2. I have tried to install drivers from the cd but it seems that there are no drivers on the cd! The big problem is that when I connect the MP3 to the computer, it doesn't read it's a Zen Micro, it's just unknown! So the Zen Micro Photo Media Explorer program doesn't work & I can't transfer songs or picture on it! And it just happened after I re-installed Windows on my computer. The same thing happened on my brother's computer after he re-installed windows. And when I connect the MP3 to the USB, it says that it's not a USB 2.0, but .! And I am sure it is 2.0 because it has always been like that before I re-installed windows. Also the MP3 does not re-charge when I put it my computer! The battery is just the same, it tries to do it but it doesn't. So I am using my sisters computer to charge the MP3 & transfer songs. I have tried everything but I can't seem to understand what the problem is? I have never experienced something like this before, and I really hope you can help me with this! To be honest I think what I am missing is the driver. So can someone PLEASE provide me the link for the driver? I have downloaded all those 3 on www.creative.com, but they are none of them! Also that playforsure firmawre thingy does not work because it sais that I have to connect my MP3, and it is connected already!Please reply as quick as possible! Thanks a lot for you kind help!
    I have also sent this mail to creative support! But please help me I have had this problem for almost 2 months now! =(Message Edited by anakwalajinn on 05-0-2006 08:47 PM

  • 1.83ghz also has the whining problem

    some bloke on mac rumours has the 1.83 version and it also has the whining problem. gutted. apple rma....
    can i post the link?

    I know I dont have a post count, so take this with a grain of salt, but I just got my 1.83 delivered at work this morning. Indeed it does have the whine noise. But, like other people have commented, you can stop it by opening Photo Booth.
    This is my first Mac laptop though, so I'm prepared to expect some little quirks here and there. All the complaints about the trackpad being stiff and whatnot may be true, but I'm upgrading from a $700 HP Pavilion laptop, so this thing is like a BMW to me.
    If it gets annoying I may send it back but so far I'm prepared to deal with it.

    plz help me thanks a lot

    In this line catch (internet.AddressException e)
    you have a non-existent package "internet".
    The correct package for that error is[b] javax.mail.internet; since you have imported this package, you can just delete the invalid information, like this:
    catch (AddressException e)

    Click on the  menu at top left of your screen, choose About This Mac and, in the panel that appears, note the Version no. in the form 10.n.n. Then update your product list so we can see what version of OS X you're running on the Mac — see this tutorial:

  • Hi, I got a big problem. I restored my mac and after I erased everything and started to restall the system, it showed I need to give the apple ID that was purchased the lion. The problem is that I lost my CD, and I don't have an ID with lion purchased

    Hi, I got a big problem. I restored my macbook pro and after I erased everything and started to restall the system, it showed I need to give the apple ID that was purchased the lion. The problem is that I lost my installing CD, and I don't have an ID with lion purchased, so what should I do? Do you sell the system software?

    This is a user forum; we're not  Apple. 
    Please contact the Apple Support folks directly for issues related to hardware and software purchases.
    The particular model of MacBook Pro is a key detail here, as the Mac model will determine the oldest version it can boot, as well as whether it'll boot more current software.
    AFAIK there is and was no Lion installer DVD available.  It was a download.  AFAIK, the last DVDs commonly available were for Snow Leopard 10.6.  Snow Leopard DVDs are still available in the Apple online store in various countries, if your MacBook Pro is old enough to be able to boot that version.
    If your MacBook Pro purchase with Lion wasn't registered with Apple, then you'll have to discuss this directly with the Apple Support folks, or repurchase Lion from the Mac App Store (which will usually involve a call to Apple for a redemption code as it's old software), or you'll "purchase" (it's free) Mavericks OS X 10.9 and wipe and install that assuming your MacBook Pro supports Mavericks.  If you didn't purchase the MacBook Pro from Apple (and it was shipped with an older release), then you'll end up acquiring a redemption code from Apple for Lion, or installing Mavericks.
    For completeness and given you're probably already aware of this, the usual approach for restoration with recent OS X versions is via the recovery boot (more details).  If the disk is wiped and you can't get Lion, then you'll probably end up reinstalling with Target Disk Mode using another Mac with a compatible FireWire or Thunderbolt port and a cable.  Or visit the local Apple Store.
    sputniki: Once OS X 10.7 or 10.9 has been reinstalled, yes, getting Time Machine configured and going is undoubtedly on the agenda.  But had there been a viable backup here, I expect jianghua would have used it.
