Both disc drives broke within two weeks of each other?

I bought an imac and macbook pro about a year and a half ago and within two weeks of each other, both have broken. They have always been awkward to insert/eject disc to/from, but now they either don't accept discs in or wont spit them out. Surely this isn't coincidence as they get very different usage from each other. Also, i've just upgraded to 10.6.8. Is this a known problem? Can i request Apple fix these issues for free, as i don't really feel one and a half years is acceptable for the breakdown of both machines, especially as they get very little usage.
Advice?

    No, sorry. it won't work with the 2007 MBP. You can replace the optical drive yourself - just go shopping at OWC.

  • How do I view two clips overlapping each other, each being semitransparent to see both at the same time, so that I can decide where to stop of the first clip and start of the second clip? Thanks.

    Basically I want to combine to clips with correct timings. For that I want to view the two clips overlapping each other, each being semitransparent to see both at the same time, so that I can decide where to stop of the first clip and start of the second clip? Thanks.

  • Link two LRT224 with each other using VPN

    What's the best way to connect two LRT224 with each other, which are in two different citys?
    Open VPN or IPSec?
    I think Gateway to Gateway should be the right mode, but I am very unsure with the lot of settings ...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try the EasyLink VPN feature of LRT214/LRT224, which simplifies the site-to-site VPN setup.
    http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=03cf456383fc4d958cf918110c7fcd42_How_to_configure_...
    EasyLink VPN works in the following way conceptually.
    1. At the primary site, enable EasyLink VPN Server (inbound tab on the Web GUI) and create an account (username/password) for each remote site.
    2. At a remote site, enable EasyLink VPN Client (outbound tab on the Web GUI), and enters the matching account credentials (username/password).
    3. The remote site will automatically reach out to the primary site to establish an IPsec tunnel.
    Note: LRT224 can support up to five EasyLink VPN peers in a star VPN topology.

  • Hello , I have a shot with two lips kissing each other , how can I keep

    Hello , I have a shot with two lips kissing each other , how can I keep the lips red and turn the rest of the face into black ? I tried shaping but the result was negative because the shape was moving all teh time , I tried color correction but the face and lips`s color was similar so I couldn`t do it with that , is there any other way ? Thanks so much

    You're gonna have fun with this because the HSL qualifiers probably won't see much separation between the areas that you want to isolate. You could try combinations of turning off Hue, Saturation, or Luminance. See what you get.
    Otherwise you're into a roto. (Manually tracked and animated User Shape)

  • Both iPhoto & iTunes library lost/corrupted within two week of another..

    So about two weeks ago, I opened iPhoto and all my pics were gone. Turns out that all my pics were still in there, but somehow the index file was damaged (?) so I've been dragging them all out into a new library slowly since I didn't trust my last backup. Today, I opened iTunes, and it started importing my iTunes library and after a while said it was not a valid library, relabeled it 'damaged' and so on. What could be up? I just replaced my hard drive 2 months ago. Any ideas?

    These problems could be related, or maybe not.
    Iphoto will have a damaged database if the app is interrupted while writing to the DB. This can be caused by a crash, a force quit. It can happen if the disk is formatted in any way except Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Or, it could indicate disk damage.

  • Bad battery, flash blinds camera and lock button broke within 2 weeks. What to do?

    The battery was terrible when I first got the phone, it's improved a little but still nothing campred to my 3G.
    The camera's flash whites out the screen, seems either a fault of my phone or badly tested. Does anyone else get this?
    And, my lock button has broken within 2 weeks of owning the phone.
    Should I return the phone? And is anyone else experiencing theese issues?
    I have iPhone 4S.

    The Lock button and camera flash problems could actually be manufacturing defects.  I'd take it to the Genius Bar at your nearest Apple store to have the phone checked out.

  • Return points within certain distance to each other

    I have a geometry of points (say 1000 points) and I want to return only points within certain distance(say 100 meters) to each other and exclude others. I have been using the sdo_aggr_union with tolerance value of 100, but it returns one of the points from all of which are 100 meters apart and also returns other points.
    I would appreciate if anyone can please help me with this. I basically want to identify bunch of points placed close to each other. sdo_within_distance will not work as this is between two geometries. Here I have the same geometry column in the table but multiple records. Sorry, if I have confused too much.Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Your initial question said you want to find all points within a certain distance to the each others. The distance was said to be 100 meter.
    Therefor the query will return for every single point all the others that are within that distance.
    As this is performed on one single table the SDO_JOIN is well suited.
    Obviously this returns a lot of recs. Let me explain why. draw for example 5 points (on a line to make it simple) and every point is 10 meters further from the previous. If you want to know for the first point what are the others within the 100 meter distance, you will end up with all the others. So doing this for every point this means that for every point you will have returned all the other, increasing the number of records returned. this is actually what the example query will do.
    If you have additional filters you must add them for both (in your case same) tables, if you want for all points with a specific faceid to list all other points within that distance and with the same faceid.
    However this will not be limited to only 549 recs I expect.
    Maybe you can try to give more explanation what you are trying to achieve.
    Should you try to achieve to identify clusters of points you might want to take a look at spatial clustering http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B14255_01/sdo_sam_ref.htm#CACJAJDC

  • Cannot Align Two Objects On Each Other

    I have done a completely clean install of Creative Cloud CS6 on my mac on Mountain Lion. First time opening Illustrator, and I cannot center two vector objects on each other. Rather, when I click to center them (vertically or horizontally) it actually pushes them further apart! It also appears to be arbitrarily selecting another object on my art board when I select these two (there is no grouping overlap, it makes no sense). I've looked around before, and have 'align to selection' checked, and 'snap to grid/snap to point' unchecked in the 'view' dropdown. Going to try to trash my preferences, but this is literally the first time I've opened it, so I can't see how that would be an issue!
    I use this tool CONSTANTLY in what I do, so this is really troubling. Has anyone had a similar problem and fixed it? Thanks so much!!

    I held down Option+Command+Shift while opening Illustrator (as offered in another thread as a way to trash/reset preferences). I know it did this as I had changed the color scheme to light grey, and it's back to dark grey.
    Opened up original file. Now, I can center things horizontally alright, but vertically jumped the both of them way down the page.
    Created a new file. Could center horizontally, centering vertically did absolutely nothing—no jumping down the page, no doing what it should be doing...nada.

  • Two JTables changing each others data

    I have the following swing setup:
    JPanel mainPanel with GridLayout(0, 1)
    JPanel tablePanelA with BorderLayout
    JPanel tablePanelB with BorderLayout
    JTable tableA
    JTable tableB
    The tables are 2 rows by 7 columns, and are two distinct instances of a class i wrote that extends JTable. They look and act the same, but there are two seperate references. They both use JComboBoxes to allow selectable data in each of the 14 cells.
    I then have:
    tablePanelA.add(tableA)
    tablePanelB.add(tableB)
    mainPanel.add(tablePanelA)
    mainPanel.add(tablePanelB)
    This sets up my main panel with the two tables on it looking how I want it to look. Heres the problem. Whenever I change the data in a cell in either table, the corresponding cell in the other table changes to that same data item also. For example, if i change cell 0,4 in table A to "None", then cell 0,4 in table B will also change to "None". You only see the change on a refresh of the panel, by changing windows to and from the panel, etc. Any ideas on why my tables would be changing each others data?

    Any ideas on why my
    tables would be changing each others data?It sounds like you're sharing a single TableModel instance between the two tables. When one table updates the model, it fires a TableModelEvent which notifies both JTable instances to update their views.

  • Compiling simultaneously two classes referencing each other

    Hi,
    When we want to compile 2 classes simultaneously in a package, we give command --
    javac package-name/*.java
    Suppose the two classes are ClassA and ClassB and ClassA has a reference of ClassB. So the compiler will finish compiling ClassB before compiling ClassA.
    But, if both the classes have each others' reference, how does compiler resolve this? Because, even in that case both classes get compiled
    Regards,
    Amit

    Lets say that compilation is done in 2 steps.
    The first step is done for all files first.
    Then the second step is done for all files.
    That means that for the second step the compile-time resolution has takes place.
    Two classes that refers to each other must go through the first step in
    the same compilation so that in the second step when
    they are referring to each other they are easily resolved.
    This is different from runtime resolution.

  • Can two functions call each other?

    I'm converting some code and have run into two functions that call each other. While I seem to have converted both functions to plsql ok, they do not compile, seemingly because they ref each other. As soon as I de-reference one one function's call to the other function they both compile.
    I know that Oracle 10g supports recursion; and on the surface of things, this situation does not seem much different than recursion. If both functions are well formed, I would hope that they'd compile.
    I wasn't able to find much by searching the forums on this topic...but I'm hoping that someone will have some info on this issue.

    I have two iphones synced to the same computer receiving each others text massages, how do I fix it?

    On each phone go to Settings > Messages > Send and Receive and select only the phone number of the phone in question. Each phone should have only its own number selected. F each phone has its own unique email address you can select that as well. But do not select any phone number or email address that resides on a different phone.
