I am using iPhone 4 from the last one year and went dead and got it replaced by paying Rs.12500/- to Nyasa Sion Koliwada Mumbai Service Provider but now again after 38days the problem has started, what do i do? Is this is the quality & service we boost? On visiting the store we get only one reply you may write to Apple directely. we have the similar kind of problem with iPad which is being used by my wife Mr.Neelam Vij and paid Rs.16000/- to get it replaced within a year & 6months use. so in totality we have paid Rs.28500/- + Rs. 3000/- diagnostic charges.
1. iPhone 4 , 32 GB Black with Sr. No. 88******A4T
2. iPad 2, 16GB White with Sr. No.DL*******KPH
Moreover, we have no information to contact whom. even the replace set has a warranty of only three month which further confirm that Apple itself is not confident wheather product will last after replacement for more then three month. Such kind of happening do not encourage anyone to recomend this product to anyone. Would appriciate a faster response to our problem if someone from Apple is going to read this email.
Thanks & Regards

Looking for replacement internal hard drives for a MacPro

Looking to replace internal hard drives in a MacPro. Was thinking about 3TB. Any recommendations?

Look in System Report for the link speed available. (Mine says 3 Gigabit.) Get drives with at least that speed; going beyond that won't get you any more performance.

Can I use a 60watt t adapter with my 2011 mac book pro 13"? I have the L adapter now, but looking for replacement that will last!

Can I use a 60watt t adapter with my 2011 mac book pro 13"? I have the L adapter now, but looking for replacement that will last!

Yes, a 13" non-Air model requires a minimum of 60 watts, so you will be fine. If it is a 2011 or earlier model, the connector is the regular MagSafe, whereas this year's models use the MagSafe 2 that is different.

Jey,
here is my hyperterm replacement, I use it for first serial tests on new devices.
It's maybe more than you need and not even documented.
It's in LabVIEW 7.1 now (was 6.1), and this new serial assistant looks even more powerful than this, however I haven't used the assistant (started with LV3.1 ;-)

Looking to replace my Mac Pro 2.1 graphics card with one that is silent with at least 2 DVI outputs (needed for audio production), any recommendations?

Thanks, but are these are silent?
Why do they cost over 10 x what seems available for PC?
Is it not possible to flash the cards for mac?
Something similar to a ASUS Geforce 8400GS PCI-E 2.0 512 MB DDR2 Graphics Card EN8400GS Silent/P/512M?

Hi Allan...
Will try to keep this short. Tried to respond yesterday...but message kept coming back as undeliverable.
I am in SW Louisiana.
Did some checking. Back in Sept of 2006, my screen went black and was experiencing some "popping sounds" prior to it going black. Took it to Baton Rouge (about a 2 hour drive) to CompUSA. They kept it a month and "repaired" it. If I do some serious looking in boxes of old receipt files, I may be able to find the receipt. (Kept receipts because we got flooded out by Katrina in the New Orleans area and was living with mother-in-law during repairs.)
Currently I have the same little problem described earlier to you...collapse to center and black screen for about 15 minutes. Once or twice daily. It has been consistant since first happening back in August...and usually daily when on the computer.
My computer is in the G84201xxxxx range and an eMac USB 2.0.
Saw the message to look at the ones on eBay. Saw a used computer lab one for about $150. May decide to buy it. (Am leery because I bought one some years ago that turned out to be stolen -- I had to give it up when a tech working on the screen saw the serial number from a list of stolen computers from a college computer lab.)
Basically, in your opinion, this problem that I am having will or will not get worse? Capicator problem or cable problem?
Am wondering if the fix done in '06 actually replaced the cable? and WHY I was not told of the recall problem at the time. I know that I had to pay well over $100 for the fix, whatever it was.
Anyway, I will call the 1-800 number this week but expect little or no assistance from them.
When experiencing the problem initially back in 2006, I called Apple tech support and they could do nothing for me and my problem? My extended warranty had run out and was no longer renewable. Strange, if there was a recall fix out there for the problem that I was having, nothing was told to me.
Anyway, thanks for your input!

What loops come with version 8? Looking to replace Garageband and Soundtrak

I am looking to replace Garageband 08 and Soundtrack 1.5 with Logic Express 8. Should I save those audio libraries or does LE 8 have it's own or duplicate?
Thanks, Ed

Hi,
I'm pretty sure that, whatever you have available to you in Garageband, is also available in E8 so, yeah, E8 is pulling from the same loops. I can't really be sure if E8 has extra loops simply because I've bought and/or downloaded so many loops over the past year or so that I've pretty much lost track of what were the original loops. What I can tell you is that they are much better organized in LE8. For instance I bought some drum loops from "Drums on Demand" and in the media section of LE8 they're listed under "Drums on Demand" which garageband and LE7 did not do. There was nothing in the literature stating that LE8 came with extra loops. Pro 8, however, comes with the first 5 jam packs included. That pretty good when you figure that that's nearly $500.00 worth of loops plus all the other extra stuff you get with Logic Pro Studio and it's only $299.00 more. The reason I didn't go pro is that I already have the sounds, plugins and loops that I need for the music that I do so, for me personally, Pro would just have been overkill. But if I ever get tired of my external synth the I might ditch it, buy a controller and go with Logic Pro Studio. It's nice to have the option at such a reasonable price.

X220 came back from depot with one dead pixel on new replaced panel

I bought my X220 on May, 2011. It was working great up until last month when suddenly several dead pixels(around 5) appeared on the IPS panel. They were dark dots scattered on the mid bottom part of the display, and were invisible only on dark images. I tried various stuck pixel fixing programs for several hours with not good result.
I called the support number for Canada, explained the issue and immediately got a call number and a box was on the way.
Yesterday I received the X220 back after a week and half, which is quite fast for what I expected the service time to be in Canada. When I turn on the machine I immediately notice some backlight bleed on the bottom on the screen given that the old one didn't have any. I thought it would not bother me since I could only see it if displaying dark backgrounds, which is rare for me once in Windows. But I also notice one dead pixel on the mid bottom right of the screen, and it looks darker and bigger than the ones in the old screen. Anytime I'm looking at anything bright colored I see it.
As of now, while I'm at work the X220 is running UDpixel at home to see if it gets fixed. I was wondering if Lenovo would grant me another repair call seeing that the dead pixel bothers me more than the ones in the old panel, although it is only one.

@pacho,
You can try taking a picture of the screen showing the backlight bleed and try contacting support and see if they can get it replace again. Do let them know your previous case number as well.
Lenovo dead pixel policy here.

However I am not sure if it applies to IPS panels.

Dead hard drive? replace myself?

Hi folks,
My hard drive was making a funny clicking/vibrating noise while spinning for the past 2 months. I have backed up everything, fortunately, to an external HD. Today, the HD seems to have died. When it spins, it makes a worse clicking/grinding sound, and the iBook freezes and becomes unresponsive (except to reboot, and the boot sequence freezes when the HD starts to spin). Currently, I have my backup external firewire HD attached and I'm actually loading OSX.3 onto it now so that perhaps I can boot from it and get access to files.
Now for the hard stuff. I've been quoted by local Apple Store and another Apple local shop $350-$450 for replacement HD and recovery of files. For another few hundred, I could buy a used PBook or iBook on eBay, which is tempting, but my current iBook is fine except for the HD, so it seems. And I see plenty of quite inexpensive replacement 40-80 GB HD's on eBay for less than $100. Questions are two:
- is it reasonable to assume HD is dead, and if so,
- should I buy a replacement and install it myself?
My technical skills: I have installed memory cards into my Lombard PBook, memory into my Dell subnotebook, and on occasion I can use hammer, nails, and drill. I am a doctor, but not a surgeon.
Yes, no, maybe?? Tell me if I'm getting in way over my head.

Hi Joshua,
Does wen you said it freezes, does it actually freeze or do you get the spinning wheel? Can you move the mouse? I would wait a couple of days before thinking about installing a new hard drive. The reason being, we might find that it isn't necessarily a failing hard drive; it could be something else. You might want to look at Mac OS X v10.3 Tutorials - Troubleshooting a Mac that Won't Start and Knowledge Base Document #106464 on Your Mac won't start up in Mac OS X (Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier).
You may also want to try reseting the PMU (Knowledge Base Document #14449, which covers Resetting Powerbook and iBook Power Management Unit (PMU)). What does it say next to S.M.A.R.T. status (Checking the S.M.A.R.T. status of your hard disk (Disk Utility 10.5))?

Dead screen, looking for screen sh

I have a Zen Xtra with a dead screen. The backlighting works, but I do not get any text on the screen. Everything else works. What I am looking for is screen shots that will take me step by step throuh the different screens, ie, to pick an artist I press menu (pick of what screen looks like), press select button once, get this screen (pic of screen), press select button down twice to get to artist (screen shot) etc. I have an idea, through trial and error how to play some music, but need to know how to get to albums, artists, play all, and play mode. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Since many have viewed this (But no one has replied), I will reply to myself. I took the MacBook Pro to the apple store. They took out the battery, which was working fine by the diagnostic, and found that somehow, the traChpad had tightened itself in terms of sensitivity. They adjusted the trackpad sensitivity, buttoned it back up, worked like new, no charge!!! If you experience this problem, take it to the apple store, let them adjust the track bar, you'll be off and running in 15 minutes...

IWeb - looking for replacements for 'blog' & 'photos'

With a deep Sigh..., I am finally facing up to the fact that I must move my iWeb Websites to another hosting sight and deal with the loss of the intergrated blog & photo pages that come with iWeb. I kept hoping for a miracle but now I must get on with it. I would be grateful for advice from those who have dealt with this issue already.
My biggest concern is finding suitable replacements for the blog and photo galleries that can be embedded into iWeb having a matching 'look and feel'.
I have developed many robust (well of 50) websites with iWeb and they are active websites.   The websites have:
Custom layouts (i.e. not using the suppled defalut template)
Blog pages (used as 'News' entries)
Photo pages
iMovie
HTML Snipits
Many have been designed for use with charity events and recieve quite a bit of traffic (see stats below) before and during the event.
As for the hosting - we will use GoDaddy or other Domain Provide with Hosting services.   We have already moved some of the more less complicated websites over.
I love iWeb (I know it has it's faults and I have probably pushed it to it's limits but it has handled it well). I have tried looking at other products like Rapidweaver & Freeway Pro (Dreamweaver would be out of the question for me as I'm not a programmer - I can deal with some basic html code for snippets and such - but that's my limit). My partner has begun looking at Wordpress. However, the biggest drawback from what I've seen from these other products is that I can't duplicate the freedom and ease of designing a template/layout the way I want it. I have tried to duplicate a website I have done in iWeb and I simply can't do it with these other products (at least without a great deal of work - if at all).
So, I wish to continue using iWeb for the main website desgin but desparately need to find good replacements for the blog and photo galleries to move over my existing websites.
Please HELP!
This is my 1st time up on the forums so I do apologise if this has been dealt with before. In my searches - I just haven't really found an answer which is why I'm submitting this question.
Many thanks, MichelleSC
P.S. I have been an Apple user since Apple began and have always raved about their products.   This is the 1st time I have been frustration with Apple. I really wish they would continue to develop iWeb and keep Mobileme.

Do you have visitors post comments to your blog or it is one the only includes your entries? If it's the atter then you can continue to use the iWeb blog. If you currently have visitors comment on the entires you will have to move to a new blogging system, one of those suggested by Ethmoid and Jeff.
As for photo albums I've just run across a new site called ZangZig which offers albums similar to MobileMe galleries with most of it's features plus one that MMe didn't have. The capability of selling your photos.
One convenient feature of it is that it can move/copy photos from your existing MMe galleries as well as your iPhoto library and other sources:
As for for iWeb can do after MMe is gone read the following:
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued. There's a link in the tutorial to download the file that one needs to be edited and replaced in existing slideshows and in the iWeb application for future slideshows. Once replaced in the application it's back to life as usual for iWeb.

Looking for replacement DVD drive

Have a P6650z desktop, and the dvd drive needs to be replaced. I intentionally didn't get a Dell b/c I was thinking that I'd be getting better hardware.
OK I'm looking at a couple of DVD drives, but I'm not sure if they will fit the bay of my Pavillion or not--the Pavillion has a special eject button on the outside of the bay itself. Could I install either of these drives into my Pavillion?

Hi,
Based on this link, your machine uses standard bays that means any standard Optical drive should fit. Do you have any plan to add Blue Ray drive on your machine ? If YES, you can go for BD drive now, probably you have to pay around $10 more.
