Can someone please help me understand this? About Apple Repairs

Hello everyone,
I bought my macbook in Nov. 2009 in USA. I just moved to India and I've noticed the rubber base coming off and the infamous apple hairline crack. When I first took it to the India center, they kept insisting I had to pay for repair, I have a 1 year limited warranty.
Upon my insisting that they check with Apple USA first, they decided to call them and then asked me to send them pictures. I've sent the pictures, my repairs have been approved.
Now they tell me that I need to bring in the laptop and they need to run some software test for the crack, then they will submit this test and get the screen in about 4-5 days and then return the mac to me.
I need to understand this from people that have gone through this sort of repair. Why do they need to do a software test for a hardware issue?
Even if they have to do this software test, why can't they wait till the screen arrives (as this is the only way they claim to fix the crack) and then do the test all at once in one single day, rather than making me run back and forth with my macbook?
I also requested for them to forward Apple's response to me, they refused and said its internal.
I would really appreciate it if someone can please explain this to me, as the logic is just not making sense in my head. Maybe this is the way they do repairs and I'm not aware of them.. don't know..
Thanks everyone!!

  • Can someone please help me understand this

    I am a new poster here and was hoping someone might be able to help me...
    I am writing a program that is supposed to generate a non applet (IE text) version of a 4-way intersection....however i have run into a problem that i simply cannot see a solution....please tell me why this code does not do what it is supposed to:
    in i meant to call the car arrives method which is supposed to enqueue based on some randomly determined parameters, known as direction and bound....it is supposed to loop through and do that for every car created.. what i think is happnening is that everything is getting overwritten rather than enqueued...what i dont understand is why...the reason i believe that nothing is enqueuing is because later in the code i attempt to dequeue these queues and and set a paramter and i get a null pointer exception
    PLEASE NOTE I RECIEVED THESE ERRORS BEFORE INSTANTIATING THE VEHICLE CURRENT CAR AS NULL...perhaps it is an instantiation problem but i cannot tell...please help me out as I have worked on this forthe last few days and am desparate for an answer
    Vehicle CurrentCar = null;

    ever since i put a child lock on my Mac its never been the same .. now i cant even open my yahoo mail without it wanting me to reinstall this, can someone please help me work this out

    What "child lock" are you talking about?
    Do you mean you set up a Managed account (Parental Controls), or some other software?
    For Parental Controls, select the account in Users & Groups and uncheck the "Enable parental controls" checkbox.

    You may not get a response as you are shouting at everyone.
    All caps indicates shouting, is considered rude, and is difficult to read.
    Many will not read such posts.
    Try turning off you caps lock and asking again.

    Please keep the discussion to one thread so people don't give you the same answers or ask the same questions.
    You're right!  That was the thread I was looking for because I replied into.  I did a search on the user's post to refind it and came up with the wrong one.  It didn't occur to me there was a third thread that had almost the same title as the one I was looking for.

  • Can someone please help me make this Navigation bar in Javascript please

    Hi I love this Navigation bar :   http://en.wordpress.com  I have struggled trying to find tutorials or anything just to try and make it, If someone could make it, I would LOVE IT! I am finding it way to hard just to find help. So please could someone kindly help me out.   Thank you so much!

    What exactly is it you like about that element? It's not really a navigation element, it's just a single link in a <header> tag -
    <header class="wpcom-header" role="banner">
                        <div>
                                  <h1 class="wpcom-title"><a href="//en.wordpress.com/">WordPress.com</a></h1>
                                  <nav id="wpcom-navigation" class="main-navigation" role="navigation">
                                            <h3 class="menu-toggle">Menu</h3>
                                            <div class="menu-main-container">
                                                      <ul id="menu-main" class="nav-menu">
                                                                <li id="nav-signin"><a class="nav-highlight" href="#home-signin">Sign In</a></li>

  • Can someone please help me with this. Loading problems and error codes.

    I have several problems with itunes on my PC. I use 2 PC's and Iphone for work and I have an IPod nano. For about a week I have been having several problems with Itunes. The first problem is I cannot access the store, I get the loading screen and that is it. This screen lasts forever, nothing ever happens it just loads, and loads, and loads. . . .
    I try to sign in thinking that will help the loading issue and I get error message saying "We could not complete your itunes store request. An unknown error occurred (-50)." This happens on both computers. I also cannot download from my iphone, I get the same error message. Running diagnostics does nothing, itunes says everything is in working order. Uninstalling and reinstalling also does nothing. I have had itunes for years now and up until about 10 days ago had no problems. My itunes is not behind a firewall on either computer. I'm saying all of this because I would prefer not to get obvious answers or links that do not help me. Please someone has to know how to fix this.

    Welcome to discussions! This is the rather infamous chkdsk error which will require that you restore your iPod. The following link will give you a complete explanation/instructions.

  • I'm having an error in Photoshop CS6 where the numbers in boxes (like image size width) are changing on their own. Can someone please help me figure this out?

    This was happening all the time on my old 2006 iMac, and I thought that when I upgraded to a new computer it would go away. No such luck.
    Sometimes the program works just fine, and other times I have this error. I haven't been able to pinpoint what is causing it.
    Basically what happens is, I will try to type a number in the box to edit the size of the image (or sharpness, etc. something that requires you to enter a number), and as soon as my mouse hovers over the box, the numbers start changing on their own. As soon as I move the mouse away, the problem stops, but of course this means that I am unable to type in the number that I want.
    I've tried unplugging my mouse and keyboard - that doesn't change anything.
    Has anyone run into this issue before?
    Btw, I use a 2013 iMac, OS version 10.9.5
    (I have a video clip of this problem, but I don't know how to share it here)

    Your task is hardly a case for Photoshop: replacing text accurately in a scanned, not even
    straightened image.
    My recommendations:
    a) put a crossreference list on each page
       or
    b) straighten the scans and improve the contrast, both by Photoshop.
       Then apply a program which converts images of text into machine coded text
       by OCR - Optical Character Recognition , for instance Abbyy Finereader
       http://finereader.abbyy.de/professional/?adw=google_eu&gclid=CMirrcCMx7MCFZHRzAodlisAJg
       (I'm not related to the manufacturer of this software, I'm just a user).
       In coded text it's easy to replace isolated character groups as required.
    Best regards and good luck --Gernot Hoffmann

  • HT203167 I purchased several songs and the music will download to my home computer and laptop but will not sync into my ipod...can someone please help me with this issue

    My purchased songs aren't lost the computer is not giving the option to put the newly purchased music into the ipod.

    How do you do what? Plug the iPhone into a USB port directly on your computer, or disconnect other USB devices? To disconnect a USB device unplug it from the computer. If it is a disk drive eject it first using the Eject icon in the System Tray. To plug the iPhone into a USB port directly on the computer insert the USB end of the sync cable into a USB port on the computer.
    If you are using all of the ports on your computer get a hub and plug low power devices into the hub (e.g., keyboard, mouse). Or get a hub with its own power supply and plug your high power devices (disk drives, DVD drive) into it.
