Battery with X and an "alleged" spill issue - Please help

Hi Everyone, This is my first post here. I had an X on my battery (which seems to be a common issue) and I tried everything in the forums and it did not work. Later, I called apple support and they sent me a new battery. This did not solve the problem either. So, I sent the mac in for repairs and they told me that the logic board has corrosion due to liquid spill, and apple care would not cover it. The sad part is that I can vouch for the fact that there was no liquid on or around my laptop, since I use it for my research and no one can borrow it because of the restricted material (graduate school requirements). Please help, and let me know if there is any way out of this. Is there anything other than spillage that can cause this corrosion on the logic board?
PS: The logic board had to be changed within two months of buying it, when the display stopped working, and so this is the third logic board within a year (pretty exciting life for a little mac book!).

Thanks for the reply micheal, but is'nt it unfair that they think it is my fault, when my macbook went bad in a couple of months? I am sure it would be very difficult for me to prove that I am not at fault, but even they cannot prove their innocence (remember that the product has been opened by them and not me!). I feel like smashing the same laptop that I liked so much and buying something else, just to get over this. If any one has any experience with such issues, please let me know a sensible way of handling it. It is my word against theirs and I am losing sleep and possibly $1400 or so...any help is appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
First thing that I would do would be to look at this Adobe KB Article to see if it helps.
Next, I would try the tips in this ARTICLE.
If that does not help, a Repair Install would definitely be in order.
Good luck,

Trying to sync iPhone 4 with itunes and get an error message PLEASE help

I am currently using and iPhone 4. This morning I had synced my iPhone with itunes and it was working fine. I came home and wanted to add some music and such to it and all of a sudden i will plug it in to itunes and i,t looks like its going gets to step 2 of 6 (which is the back up process) and then an error message comes up saying itunes has stopped working, my only option to do is exit the window..
Any ideas why this would be the case? its really frustrating me. I am also not the most computer savvy.
Thanks

Try reinstalling iTunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If that doesn't help, if you are using a Windows based computer, could be your anti virus software or your firewall that's preventing the sync.

Newbie problems installing Flash 11 and windows 7/SWF issues-PLEASE HELP!

I am VERY new at Dreamweaver (llike four days in) - my church has a website & they need someone to take it over so I'm trying to help out while teaching myself something new.
I was doing okay til now. I downloaded a free template to play with so as not to mess up their real site just yet. I was able to get the majority of the site up except for the top part with flash. Error message says: "this page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of IE. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to SWF markups. Please delete each of them and insert again" This mesage comes up on the index.html, index-1.html, and index-2.html pages.
I deleted & re-typed everything that had an SWF in it (then realized maybe I only needed to do the ones with the .swf extension, duh on me!) but I'm still getting a gray box with the "f" inside.
Additionally, I keep having to re-install Flash because it says I have to use version 10 or higher - the browserlab worked during the online lessons offered by Adobe, but now it won't work at all! I installed Flash 11 more times than I can count but it still won't work, yet when I go to my Programs flash it's installed twice - once as a 64 bit and once without. I'm assuming one of those can go.
I'm familiar with HTML and have created smaller websites using templates on sites like Yahoo Business, Wix and Office Live and thought I could handle this, but it's really stumping me, thought there'd be a learning curve and trial/error but WOW! Much respect to all you web designers out there, this stuff is no joke!
If anyone could please help me fix this problem and dumb your answer down as much as possible cuz I'm admittedly very lost! I'm worried that I'll have the same problem with the church site because they want some flash aspects. Did several internet searches & couldn't decipher the programmer jargon, nor could figure out if I was doing the suggested fixes correctly.
Thanks in advance for the help from anyone! I have a brand new computer, dell xps15 only 3 weeks old, so it's not the computer!

FYI: Dreamweaver questions are better answered in DW's General Discussion Forum.
http://forums.adobe.com/community/dreamweaver/dreamweaver_general?view=discussions
Older versions of DW used an Active-X JavaScript to initialize Flash in IE browsers. Adobe later switched to a different script in CS4 and again in CS5 and CS5.5 which uses SWF Object Replacement. I suspect your Template was made with an older version of Flash & DW which is why you're getting the nag screens.
Option 1: Preview the original template pages in browsers. If it works, ignore the DW error messages.
Option 2: Rebuild the Template by stripping all Flash object and embed code and removing links to any Flash supporting scripts. Then re-insert your media. Insert > Media > Flash...

Browser is freezing every few minutes with facebook and not on other browsers, please help! i love mozilla, can't switch :)

hey guys,
im a devoted user of mozilla but lately whenever i open my facebook (or other sites with lots of adds) it freezes for like a minute, every few minutes.
I didn't have this problem when I used explorer nor when doing it on other computers.
so i bet the problem is with my computer but I can't figure out what.. :(
please help me! I hate all other browsers!
p.s. u guys rock :)

Are you playing Frontierville or Cityville or somesuch? Zynga games are HUGE resource hogs and if you try to pair them with Pandora or YouTube, things can go down really fast. You can also mitigate a little with an adblocker like [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865/ adblock plus].
From reports of this that I've been hearing about, Flash 10.2 (which was a recent update) has been particularly bad with Zynga games. You can try changing your display settings in Flash (right click and select settings and then the first tab) but I would just suggest using just one game at a time. Adobe may be releasing a version of Flash that's better soon, so this may clear up if you update Flash, also.

Having trouble with flash and linking to Sliding panels - PLEASE help

Having trouble with Sliding panels and flash. Otherwise everything works fine but when I'm trying to implement the link
<a href="#" onclick="sp1.showPanel('panel1'); return false;">Panel1</a>
to a flash button I get confused. I have tried following
on (press) {
getURL("javascript:sp1.showPanel('panel1');");
and it did not work. What would you suggest? I am desperate. Please help me! Any suggestions are highly appreciated!!!!

Thanks for your answer!
I have tried both sp1.ShowPanel('panel1'); and window.sp1.ShowPanel('panel1'); they both give blank window with [object]
I have found a solution that works in other browsers, but not in IE. Well basicly it works, but after a few clicks IE freezes.
on (press) {
getURL("javascript:sp1.showPanel('panel1'); void(0);");
Would you happen to have a solution other than that? I believe that the void(0); causes the IE to freeze.

Extreme problems with airport and harddrive no pun intended. please help.

okay experts, please help. i have a lacie brick 500gb external drive that i got yesterday. i attatched it to the airport and the drive showed up on the desktop fine and dandy. the problem was that no backup software would recognize that a hard drive was attatched. i was given some advice to format the hard disk for apple using disk utility. i did that and it finished formatting this morning. (i had to do all this by plugging the hard drive in directly to the computer's usb port, it wouldn't let me do it attatched to the airport) now the dilemma is that when i attatch it to the airport, the disk no longer even shows up on the desktop, or anywhere else. wen i go to airport utility, manual setup and disks, it shows the hard drive there, but nowhere else. i know it isn't a problem with the hard drive because when plugged in directly to the computer, everything works fine. can someone please give me a run through of the settings i need to have set? i'm quite sure it is correct. i am just frustrated beyond belief getting this hard drive to work via the airport. thank you very much guys and gals.
wait....update
okay. finally, it is on the desktop, but not how it should be. superduper or the lacie backup system still doesn't recognize it as a disk. when i plug in the h.d. to the computer usb port it shows up as an orange icon on the desktop and is recognized by the software. but when i plug it in via the airport it shows up on the desktop as a different icon, like a box and isn't recognized by the software. what on earth is going on?
this is driving me mad.

You need to make sure that your backup software supports Bonjour(network attached) devices. I use the mac backup program and it recognizes AEBSn disk devices.
Can you copy a file manually from finder to the drive?

Reformatting/reinstalling problems with iMac and Tiger... Please help!

Hi!
I've been trying to sell my iMac so that I can fund the purchase of a Macbook. Finally found a buyer, told him I would format the hard drive and re-install Tiger for his convenience (and my security).
I'll try to describe now the problems I have had:
- I booted from the installer disk 1; opened disk utility; zeroed out the entire drive (the one, in disk utility, on the left-hand drawer w/ the mfgr. # and drive size -- i.e., the MAIN one). This may be where I made my mistake...
- After this finished, I went back to the installer and began the installation process. Everything seemed to be on track.
- Disk 1 finished, the computer automatically restarted.
- Upon restart, I was asked to install the 2nd disk.
- Here is where I KNOW something (I did probably) went wrong: disk 1 would not eject; instead, I got a spinning beach ball for what seemed to be a long while... TOO long... SO long, in fact, that I manually restarted the computer, hit the eject button, removed disk 1, and inserted disk 2 in the hopes that the installation process would pick up where I left it. Unfortunately, it didn't.
- The computer will not boot-up from, recognize, or even ask for disk 2, at all. All I get, when trying to boot up from anything but disk 1 is a grey screen, and the flashing folder/"?" icon.
- I can still access installer and all the utilities when I boot from the installer disk 1. HOWEVER, when I try to run the installer again--trying to begin the process from scratch--the installer fails to locate the target volume! Moreover, when I try to use disk utility, it cannot verify or repair my HD (the main HD or the "My Computer" HD -- if that makes sense, my knowledge of the proper terminology is poor), nor can it erase them again. The reason? The message I get says "Volume failed to unmount," or something along those lines.
- Under information, I see that these drives are verified (or so the computer says) so I hope real damage hasn't been done, and that I just short-circuited the hardware somewhere along the line.
So -- might anyone have an idea as to how I can get this process back on track? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thank you thank you THANK YOU, in advance!
Cooper

Thank you, Kappy and baltwo!
Yes, it is the 17" G5 iMac in my info. and, yes, I am using the (Tiger) disks that came with the iMac.
What I ended up doing was this, and I wonder if you might have any idea if it sounds good or not -- it seems, now, to be working:
- I entered terminal, and typed: "diskutil unmount /volumes/untitled" in order to force-unmount the volume that seemed to be giving me so much trouble.
- From there, I partitioned the main HD (extended, etc.), in order to create a new target volume for OSX.
- This done, I went back to installer, it found the new target volume, and voila! It's begun installing from disk 1 !
I wonder, though, should I have tried to erase that first, unmounted problem volume? I'm not sure how I could have -- it was unselectable from disk-utility once I unmounted it. It seemed that there was information on it -- 6.5GB, it had gone through the entire first-disk of the install process -- but, then again, the main HD showed all 148GB free once I unmounted that volume and created the new partition...
Any further advice you might give?
Thanks, again!

RS480M2-IL and 6600GT pciE lockup issue, please help....

I have an MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard and an eVGA 6600gt pciE video card and some major problems.
System Specs:
eVGA 6600gt pciE 128mb
2 WD 320GB SATA drives (not in raid)
Chaintech 7.1 pci sound card
A64 3000 939pin with Artic Cooling Freezer64 cooler
Forton Source 450W psu (atx 2.0 with more than enough amps and watts)
512MB corsair value 3200
512MB mushkin decent memory
Problem:
Whenever I play games (battlefield2, gun etc) the system always crashes within 1 hour
The temperatures never get high, in fact the cpu temp is only a little above idle after gaming for 45 minutes, and the GPU never exceedes 60 degrees
What will happen is this:
The game will be running fine, 40+ fps no lags or anything, then all of the sudden it will freeze and a few seconds of sound will repeat themselves. Sometimes the game comes back within about 20 seconds, but sometimes it does not and the system resets itself. I can sometimes alt+tab back to windows and force quit the game through task manager. When I do this I get an error message telling me that nvdisp driver has quit working and to reset.
I have tried:
Using onboard sound (no difference)
Taking out one stick of memory (no difference except this creates lag in games)
Many different set of geforce drivers (they all have the same problem)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I know from reading the BF2 forums you are not alone. A lot of people started having probs around the 31 of Oct, apparently after a PB update was pushed out via BF2 server logon. I was having some probs and tried updating all my drivers and BIOS which is how I found myself here. I coud not get my video card to work (ATI 9800 Pro)at all after flashing to 9.2, but after changing a few settings I at least have my video card back. I have not tried BF2 yet, that seems to be the overall test of any component. I am not suggesting you flash your BIOS by any means (more trouble that it may be worth), but your problem may be with PB, at least that is what the conspiracy threorists will preach.
check this and see what happens...https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=89456.0, it helped me
On the forums for BF2, I think at totalBF2.com, there were some potential fixes, but I have not tried any yet as I wiped my system to begin to unscrewing what I had done already.
Good luck and let us know what happens....

Problem with ALV and user defined selection screen. please help!

Hi Experts,
I have program which has a user defined selection screen 9001. On executing the selection screen i call a ALV using resuse_alv_grid function module.
What problem I am facing is that when I press back button from ALV page it goes to the se38 editor instead of selection screen.
How to resolve this?
Thanks
Gopal

Hi,
This might be due to LEAVE TO TRANSACTION statement. You might be running the program from SE38. Try to run the program using Z-TCode assigned to it.
Thanks and Regards,
Bharat Kumar Reddy.V

its not related to any hardware because last year april i got replacement new phone from apple and i maintained it well...!

Probably apps running in the background are causing this, sometimes Mail get's stuck connecting to the mail server, or some social media app like Facebook can also be a reason for prolonged background activity.
Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.
