Bring my MBP in for battery replacement comes back with broken display

So I took my late 2011 15" MBP in for a warranty covered battery replacement and when I returned to pick it up they told me that the display does not work. Never had an issue with the display and worked fine when I brought in an opened it up for them to inspect it cosmetically. They tell me it will be 500 dollars to repair this and theres nothing I can do about it. They offered to let me pay for half of the repair. But still, does this not seem right? You dont drive your car in for an oil change and come back to find 4 flat tires you are $500 on the hook for.

May be some sort of electronic short also took out the display along with the battery, if there was obvious physical damage they would have caught it at the get go.
If you don't have AppleCare, a 3 year old machine facing high repair costs, I would suggest you don't spend another dime on it and either buy a new one or a cheaper Windows laptop if your rough on hardware.
My Early 2011 is still like brand new, because I'm very careful with it.
This will assist in getting your data off the dead machine.
My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?

When I execute my download for Itunes windows comes back with the error file does not exist verify it

The following error message comes up every time I run the Itunes installer package.
"This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package."
I've tried several downloads, but they all end with the same error message.
I also resently had my hard drive cleared due to a virus, so possibly missing something?

My iPhone 5 is eligable for battery replacement but there is no Apple Stores in my country. Any advices what should I do?

Hello, I live in Montenegro and I bought used iPhone 5 off ebay few months ago. Phone is sim free but I notice really poor battery life. I have to charge it twice a day! Before 5 I used iPhone 4 and I had to charge every night but I could use the phone all day and I was fine with that. I checked and my iPhone is eligable for battery replacement program but there are no Apple Stores in Montenegro. There is T-Mobile which sells iPhones but I didn't buy mine over there. Is there a way for me to take advantage of this program? Can I get Apple to send me new battery and I will have local repair shops (which are very good) to replace the battery? I am ready to take full responsibility for that. If that is not an option could I visit apple store in US (example) and change my battery there for free, given that it is not bought over there?

This is how you get Service in your Country
The iPhone support site has troubleshooting articles to help you solve your iPhone issue on your own. If you have reviewed those articles and still need service for your iPhone, you can contact your carrier.Note: There may be a fee for diagnostic service. Please do not send any accessories with your iPhone because they will not be returned to you.
However the iPhone could have come from anywhere in the world since you purchased secondhand from eBay
You are correct T-Mobile will not touch the iPhone .
If you check the model number in settings>>>general>>>about >>>Model
if you google that number you will find out where the iPhone originated .If an EU country then you would be eligible for assistance in any other EU country
if not then which ever country comes up is the only source of help
This version of the link above is a European version maybe more relevant

My iphone 5 is eligible for battery replacement program but I have bought it from a mobile operator in Thailand (my place) since Dec 2012. Please advice whether I have to contact my operator or Apple Authorized Service Center. And any cost or free?

"No batteries available" on my Macbook and not eligible for battery replace

I turned on my Macbook with AC power after returning holidays. I realized it couldn't charge itself, and the battery indicator showed "X" with "No batterries available."
I went to apple store and had genius bar, but my Macbook is not eligible for battery replacement program even though I bought it between February 2006 and April 2007.
Is there any suggestion that I can get battery replacement with free of charge ?

Will apple give me a iPad 4 if i give my iPad 3 in for battery replacement???

I've actually got a iPad 4, but i just wanna know if they will give me a newer iPad if I give Apple a old one for battery replacement.

If you have an iPad that has failed due to materials or workmanship, and it's within the warranty period, Apple will provide a refurbished iPad of the exact same type.

Webi base on BW query based on Infoset comes back with wrong values

Hello:
I have a Webi report on an OLAP Universe, on Bex Query.
The bex query is based on 1 INFOSET.
When I run the webi report the values that comes back a totally wrong values.
The correct results are not brought back.
When I do a test with crystal reports to the infoset, I can see the correct values. (I'm aware crystal uses different drivers).
The test is BW query designer, and crystal brings back proper values from Infoset based BW query.
Webi on Infoset based BW Query comes back with wrong data.
query is simple.
Pull in 3 attributes, 3 key figures, where componentkey = "111"
I get 36 rows in Crystal and 36 rows in Bex Analyzer, 36 rows in BW query designer (web analyzer).
I get many rows in webi (almost like a CARTENSIAN product).
I search a round this forum but still did not see a conclusive answer to this problem.
But I see another thread that several others faced this same issue without a resolution.
My environment.
BOE XI 3.1 SP2
No fix packs
SAP IK 3.1 SP2
HPUX-IA64
Thanks in advance for any help.
Dwayne

Was this problem ever solved?
I am having a similar problem with an infoset based query.
I have created the BW infoset, and confirmed that the correct data is returned from the underlying infoproviders. A simple BW query on that infoset yields the same results.
Create the universe, and then the WEBI, and WEBI now shows hundreds of records where I expect 10. Data is being returned in WEBI that definitely shouldn't be there. It's almost like the restrictions applied in the characteristic restriction area of my BW query are being ignored, even if I include them in the WEBI query.
Cheers,
Andrew

Why does yahoo emails come back with failure notifications

why does yahoo emails come back with failure notifications

In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu on a toolbar.
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

Firefox does not load pages, comes back with server not found

First I thought this was a problem with Firefox 4 beta but now I am having the same issue with 3.6.16
About 70% of the times, Firefox does not open the web page and comes back with "Server not found" message. Interesting thing is it comes back with this message on the first 2 tries and then on the third try for the same link it will display the page. Always, 2 fails and 3rd time it works. Now during the first two times, internet commnection is working and if I try the same URL on IE it works without any issues. This started happening after I tried Firefox 4 beta. 4 is not uninstalled and I am back to 3.6.16. But the issue remains.
I am using Win 7 64 Home Premium, SP1 is not applied yet but all updates are in place.

Well, I'm using Firefox 4.0 and have the same problem. I tried to open my private homepage and my *.net-domain comes back with the "Server not found" message (my *.com-domain loads without any problem - same contents on both websites)
I also tried to open my net-domain in FF portable - without any problems.
Clearing the cache, deleting the cookies etc in FF4 does not help either.
I also had the experience that FF4 does not load CSS5 websites (e.g. deviantart) properly (CSS does not work, website shows simply the html-version, a disgusting look). With FF portable the problem does not exist.
I tried this on different machines (e.g. Windows XP Pro SP3 (office PC), Win7 Pro 64, Win Vista SP2... (home PCs) and there I'm experiencing the same issues with FF4 and various websites.

Disk utility verify comes back with a errors.

I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8.
When I run the disk utility verify it comes back with a message saying that it cannot repair the errors found on the drive. I also get msgs that the file counts and directory counts are not what they are supposed to be.
What do you recommend I do? Are these errors serious or should I ignore them. I only noticed these errors yesterday after my computer would not boot. I had to actually take out the power cord from the back of the computer and hold the power buttom down for 20 secs and then reattach the power cord. Only then did it boot again.
I am thinking about doing a complete reinstall from scratch however, there may be a chance that some other disk utility out there can fix my problems....any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Since your system is having trouble booting, you should probably fix those errors.
When Disk Utility can't repair a problem, you have some choices. Many people buy Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro, with Disk Warrior the preferred program, to fix those sort of errors, assuming they aren't caused by failing hardware. Those sound like 'soft' errors that Disk Warrior can repair (see their web site).
If you want to check your hard drive hardware, you can run the Apple hardware test (run the extended test), and SMART Utility is another program that will give you insights into the health of the hard drive.
If you have a good backup, another option is to boot to an OS X DVD (or a bootable backup), use Disk Utility to erase the hard drive and write zero's to it, then restore your backup. If you go this route, make sure you have a good backup because you'll be erasing, permanently, everything on your hard drive.
