D-11 to return my PB15"DL

My Pb15" DL has been delivered on Nov 23 at 13:20. According to the Applestore policy French regulation I have 14 days to return the product if I am not satisfied.
As others, I can live with a stripped /White Lined screen, but I do prefer the 1,5 Ghz screen received in august.
What would push me to do return my item is :
1. There is posts here and elsewhere of "no lined screen".
2. There is no post anywhere of consumers having sent back their white lined screen for repair and that have received "line free" PB : if a line free product ever existed the chance to get one is VERY low.
3. There is no post anywhere of Apple saying there is or will be a solution for those lined screen and no official answer from Apple
4. There is posts saying that Apple says those screen are within specifications.
5. I think my screen will never be recognized as defectuous by Apple
What lets me wait few more days before my decision :
1. There is lots of people that seem to have returned their products (Meaning Apple is aware of the problem).
2. The lines have been recognized in this forum and elsewhere for 3 weeks or more (Meaning Apple is aware of the problem).
3. The crankycat.com image seems to indicate that a sofware solution can be found (Meaning...).
4. This will cost me 80 Euros (This is my problem)
5. I am waiting for an Apple move a few more days
AND YOU FOLKS ???

Hi Luc,
I am in a similar situation.
I have returned two DL PB15" because of this problem. Now I have asked for a refund.
I just checked a few of the other recent posts and while some people say that they have seen "line-free" screens, I couldn't find anyone who has seen both "line-free" and "lined". This leads me to believe that the reports of "line-free" are from people who just can't see the lines (e.g. don't know what to look for) or aren't bothered by the lines.
It would really help if a user here could confirm that they have seen both "lined" and "line-free" screens on the new 15" PBs.
As Apple does not official acknowledge the defect, it makes it very hard, if not impossible, for us to make an informed decision as to whether to purchase a 15" PB again. I can't ask the Apple Store whether the defect is fixed before I purchase because they think there is no defect!
I will wait this week for any confirmations from users that they have seen fixed displays (i.e. users that know what to look for), and make a decision to buy again on that. In the meantime, I have a secondhand 1.5GHz PowerBook on reserve for a few days as back up...
Let us know how it goes...

PB15/OS X 10.4 without Enter Key

Hi all folks,
I spend some time to use a PB15 with OS X 10.4.4,
but all the time I try to use the Enter key (the between
right Apple and the Cursor Control keys) the key works
like the Return key.
I use the Keyboard Overview (from the little Flag in the
Menue) and alle the Time I press the Enter key a key
stroke for Return is displayed, not for Enter.
Where is the Enter key, does some know how to get the
key back.
With my PB12 (OS X 10.2.8) the Enter key is available,
all the time I use Key Caps Application a key stroke
is displayed for the right key. The PB12 know where
the Enter or Return key is, but the PB15 does not.
Is this a PB12/PB15 or a OS X 10.2/10.4 feature?!
Thanks for any help,
Lutz

You can remap the keyboard to some limited extent on Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts. Though I'm not sure it will be able to do what you want. Backup your computer before attempting this in case it goes wrong.
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html explains how to backup.
There are quite a few third party macro and keyboard shortcut generation software titles on http://www.macupdate.com/ and http://www.versiontracker.com/ Use those search engines to find one that works best for you. Do two separate searches for macro, and keyboard shortcut when visiting them. Note since these programs modify how the system behaves, it is wise to backup your data before installing them, and make sure when you update your machine that you check that they are updated for your updated operating system before you update the operating system.

Can I return my laptop

I bought my laptop around the beginning of March 2011. I am very dissatisfied with it and was wondering if I could bring it in for a refund.The computer is a Dell Inspiron.

I'm sorry, but you only have 14 days to return a laptop. You could send it in for repair if there is an issue with the device.

Return of Free goods item - Problem in item category

I am trying to create return order of Free sample billing
(ZFDP). The return order type for the free sample is ZFDR.
We have specified Item category for the ZFDR is RENN (Free good item) in IMG Activity -> Assign Item categories.
When I create order and save it, it prompts me to enter G/L Account.
This material is free. It should not prompt G/L Account for it. There is no revenue recognition specified for the item category. I tried changing item category to ZKLN i.e Free of charge item. This item category does not prompt for G/L Account while creating order. but I can not use this item category because it prompts me for Avialability. I can not remove the Avaialabilty check for it because the same item category is used in the Free sample order where availability check is required
In ZFDP order type, we are issuing 100% discount by using R100
discount condition. Please let me know how can I solve this problem.
I think there is some problem in my item category itself. .
My setting for Item category in IMG - Define item category is
same for both ZKLN and RENN. Only difference is RENN has returns
tick and pricing field is blank. In ZKLN pricing is defined as B- 100%
discount. I also tried changing the pricing option of RENN to B.
But still it is asking for G/L Account.
I can not use ZKLN instead of RENN because my ZKLN is used in the
Free item Sales order.
Please help.

Hi
I got answer to my query. YOu need to specify the bill type while defining sales document type. This bill type should not have account assignment mentioned in it.
I changed the bill type, which does not have Account assignment procedure attached to it.
It has solved my problem

Query help: query to return column that represents multiple rows

I have a table with a name and location column. The same name can occur multiple times with any arbitrary location, i.e. duplicates are allowed.
I need a query to find all names that occur in both of two separate locations.
For example,
bob usa
bob mexico
dot mexico
dot europe
hal usa
hal europe
sal usa
sal mexico
The query in question, if given the locations usa and mexico, would return bob and sal.
Thanks for any help or advice,

How about this?
SELECT NAME
FROM    <LOCATIONS_TABLE>
WHERE   LOCATION IN ('usa','mexico')
GROUP BY NAME
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT LOCATION) >= 2Results:

Unable to capture return values in web services api

At the time of login to web services if my server is down ,
it returns following error :
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
        at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1438)
        at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1411)
I want to capture this error so that i can try another server to login. how do i capture this error
Another place where i want to capture the return Value is when i look for a report on the server
rh = boBIPlatform.get("path://InfoObjects/Root Folder/"src_folder"/" + reportName +
                           "@SI_SCHEDULEINFO,SI_PROCESSINFO" ,oGetOptions);
oInfoObjects = rh.getInfoObjects();
CrystalReport = (CrystalReport)oInfoObjects.getInfoObject(0);
Here if the report is not there on the server , it returns a null handler exception.
but if i try catching it by checking my responsehandler is null like rh == null it does not catch it.
Any help will be appreciated
thanks

Ted : i have two cases
1)   server = server_st.nextToken();
    providerURL = "http://"server"/dswsbobje/services";
    sessConnURL = new URL(providerURL + "/session");
   Connection boConnection = new Connection(sessConnURL);
   Session boSession = new Session(boConnection);
EnterpriseCredential boEnterpriseCredential = new    EnterpriseCredential();
              boEnterpriseCredential.setLogin(userid);
boEnterpriseCredential.setPassword(pwd);
boEnterpriseCredential.setAuthType(auth);
SessionInfo boSI = boSession.login(boEnterpriseCredential);
I have got a list of servers running web servcies stored in my tokens. when i pass the first server name say " test:8080" and that server is down , i want to catch somewhere in the code above that it did not get the connection so that i can loop back and try with the second server say test1:8080
This is for failover purposes.
at present when i was trying to capture return value of boSI it breaks giving the error
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1438)
at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1411)
2nd case :
I am geeting reports from the server and scheduling them:
i run the following code which works fine if reports is there
rh = boBIPlatform.get("path://InfoObjects/Root Folder/"src_folder"/" + reportName +
"@SI_SCHEDULEINFO,SI_PROCESSINFO" ,oGetOptions);
oInfoObjects = rh.getInfoObjects();
CrystalReport = (CrystalReport)oInfoObjects.getInfoObject(0);
Here if the report is not there on the server then i should be able to catch from the response handle rh that it has got a null value.
but rh does not return a null value
the code ultimately throws a null handle at the following line
CrystalReport = (CrystalReport)oInfoObjects.getInfoObject(0);
i am not able to catch the null value there also.
hope you got my issue.

Generate prov.xml for Creative Cloud. Return Code 27

We're trying to follow this guide (Creative Cloud Help | Using Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition) to serialize a package (or something). We're stuck on generating prov.xml. My best attempt at an entry is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities\APTEE>adobe_prtk.exe --tool=VolumeSerialize --generate --serial=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx --regsuppress=ss --eulasuppress --locales=en_US --provfilepath=C:\Program Fil
es (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP
It says half of this is optional, but I'm skeptical.
Anyway, I'm getting return code 27. This indicates that it is unable to edit the prov.xml file specified. I didn't specify a prov.xml file, I'm trying to make one. The syntax I'm using differs from what I found on the page I linked, as that was giving me syntax errors. I lifted this off someone else's code. I've tried just about every variation I can think of. Any help would be appreciated.

Help Needed: Returning Back to Windows 8 after downgrading to Windows 7

Hi guys, im just new here.
I have a MSI GE40 gaming laptop which I bought 2 months back.
Within those 2 months of usage, I always encounter my laptop to be very slow in shutting down. It always take, maybe up to 10 minutes to fully shut down. The screen goes black but the power button stays on orange color, & as I said, it takes a long time for the power button to be completely unlit. But for start up, its blazing fast.
Thinking that windows 8 itself is the culprit of super slow shutting down, I searched the net on how to downgrade to windows 7.
Of course I did make a back up first on a 16gb usb flash drive using the pre-installed recovery software from MSI which was completed successfully.
Then I made some tweaks on the bios (ie select legacy & disable secure boot) & boot using windows 7 installation DVD, deleted all partitions (since the notebook comes with GPT partition) to be able to install windows 7. I installed all the drivers which I downloaded from MSI website specific to my notebook.
But the problem is not solved, it is still very slow in shutting down, & now even boot up becomes very slow too.
So I downloaded & execute the firmware & bios for windows 7 from msi website (again, specific to my model). But still the same, the notebook is still very slow both in shutting down & start up.
So I decided to go back again to windows 8, I tried to boot from the flash drive (I adjusted from the bios & make the flash drive to be the first priority) but it did not boot from it. I tried F11 on start up & selected to boot from usb flash drive but again, to no avail.
So the last one I did was downloaded windows 8, make a bootable flash drive out of it, boot from it and luckily, I succeed - I have now again a windows 8 msi ge40 laptop.
But I wanted my laptop to be reinstated to factory setting, i.e, all preinstalled softwares are there, the bios is default for windows 8. So I tried to update the bios to the one for windows 8 again (since I downgraded the bios to the one for windows 7 when I downgraded the OS to windows 7). But I could not update the bios, the laptop is not booting from usb flash drive containing the bios.
I tried also to recover using F3 on start up but the system does not recognize the flash drive (with system back up). I tried also on PC settings but to no avail.
Now guys, I need your help.
How can I return back my laptop to default factory settings?
Thank you.
(sorry for my not so good English)

Hello:
I think it's not only about the OS version, you need to return this back to your shop to repair with the slow shot down issue, because the OS should be shot down in 30 seconds, far from your GE40 times.

Can I return my Lenovo S 205 ?

Hi guys, I have had a multitude a problems since owning my Lenovo S 205 some 8 months ago.
I got the laptop via Laptops Direct, an online laptop store.
The first problem I experienced was when the laptop kept on shutting down on its own quite a few times. This I later discovered was because the laptop battery had a tendency to become loose sometimes.
The second problem was when it began to freeze after I installed another version of MS Office.
The third problem was when it lost its bluetooth capabilities, although the bluetooth device had been detected as present.
I managed to get the second and third problems fixed by a friend. However, after two weeks, the two problems have returned...TA-RAAA !
I can only recommen other people to stay away from Lenovo right now !
Does anyone know if I can return my Lenovo laptop and get a refund for it, so I can get something else like a Toshiba or an Asus ? Thanks very much !

hi teresanazir,
sorry to say that but refund is not possible at this point. have you tried to contact lenovo support line to ship it back to service for your issues?

It's yours. No returns allowed after the return date unless the store management allows it. Since you have had it for over a month, you could have easily decided it wasn't the right one for you and returned it within the acceptable amount of time.

Can I return my macbook air that I brought during the holidays (Thanksgiving)

I was gifted a Macbook air during the thanksgiving season, and since I am a computer science developer ( a student to be precise), I want to return my Mac and opt in for a Windows machine ( so that I can get enough software support if needed, there are several people around me with a pc). I was wondering, how can I return my laptop ? What are the terms and conditions ?
Thank you in advance.

I would think you cannot return a product after the return date has passed.
Call the Apple Store and ask them.

Hi swarandrose,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I don't think that this is possible,
Best way to get some information about this is to call Lenovo Post sales team.
Try calling Lenovo Sales team and ask for options.
Hope this helps
