Dear  technical support team

Dear  technical support team, I wish to enquire about a technical issu  since I work in oil industry we have been instructed to avoid using unsafe mobiles and switch to use safe mobiles which we have been informed that I phone might be unsafe in gas and oil industries as it might cause sudden spark, please clarify on this issue and let me know if this case is valid or not.

The iPhone is NOT certified for use in such environments & most likely will never be certified for use in such environments. There are a few phones that are certified, but they are expensive, and the iPhone is definitely not one of them.
Look for a phone certified as "Intrinsically Safe".

  • I need technical support

    Hi,
    I'm Merve from Istanbul, Turkey. We are an architecture department in Bahcesehir University. We bought an Apple Macbook Pro from Apple Retail Pentagon City USA about 2 years ago on 04.02.2008.
    But a month ago, this Macbook Pro's graphic card (or display card, I'm not really sure which one you are using:)start to fail, when we open it, and it was impossible to use any CAD programs, cause the vision was wavy. Then we send the laptop to the authorized service in İstanbul. When we give the laptop to this servise on 29.12.2009, the warranty coverage was not over yet. First they told us that, the problem is in the graphic card, and they can change it without any charge. But then, they call us and told that, 'After we change the graphic card, we realized that the problem is not the graphic card but the monitor itself. It is our of warranty coverage and costs over 500 €.'
    We are wondering if this is possible, or does it cause because of user mistake? Should we pay this without any doubt? And is there any way to contact with the main technical support team? Trying to contact them cause there was a situation in the University some time ago, some kind a troubled set of computers were set on the laboratories and the failed, and when they contact with the center that we bought those computers, they changed them all, and send another set of computers.
    Appreciate you help.
    Merve.

    Hi, BIMAS. It's very unlikely that a user error could have caused a wavy display. If the service provider has replaced the MBP's logic board in the belief that a faulty NVidia 8600 GPU on it was the cause of your problem, and doing so didn't solve the problem, then he may be right in thinking the display itself is at fault. There is a third possibility, though: the video cable that leads from the GPU to the display panel my be damaged or faulty. Ask the service provider whether he can test that cable independently of the LCD panel. That may not be possible, because the cable may be considered to be part of the display assembly, which is only replaced as a single unit by Apple authorized service providers. I'm not familiar with your MBP model and I don't know whether that's true of it. If it is, then you will have no practical choice but to pay to have the display replaced. That will undoubtedly cost more than 500 euro.

  • Poor Technical Support in Turkey

    Hello,
    I am having a serious problem with iPad I've bought just a week ago. Actually, my main problem is the careless and rude behaviour of both the official Apple technical support and the seller here in Turkey.
    I will summarize my problem; here it is: I've bought the iPad and opened the package at home (I didn't open it at the seller's because it was a gift for my boyfriend.) When we opened the package and looked at the iPad, we realized a small plastik piece stucked between the frame and the back metal part. We tried but the plastic piece wouldn't easily picked out, so we took the iPad to the store we bought. Here the problem starts. Firstly, the customer representative was neither willing to replace the item nor send it to the technical support for the decision. She also told us in an extremely rude manner that this was such a tiny problem to deal with (as if we were taking her time.) After we insisted that we didn't want this item with this problem (We had to make a numerous explanations such as our trust in Apple products and the brand itself for more than 10 years; she finally took the item in order to send it to the technival support. Just yesterday, they called us and told that they took the plastic piece out and when we asked what it was, they explained that it was a small piece from the protective layer under the frame of the iPad. When we looked at the iPad closely, we could still see the edges of the plastic piece because it was just cut. We told that we didn't want the item and we requested refund or a replacement with a new one. Unfortunately, they didn't accept it and sent iPad to the Apple store from which we bought. Tomorrow, we are going to the Apple store to object to take back this iPad. If they do not give us a refund or a replacement, we are going to take legal action considering our consumer rights.
    Do you think that I have a right to do that?
    And also on www.apple.com I couldn't find any email address to report the inconvenient behaviour of the personnel working in the official sellers and technical support team here in Turkey. It's a pity that we experience such problems over a brand whose products we truly trust...
    Sincerely,
    Ipek Gur

    It is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

    I'm not clear what you are trying to do, but Numbers will open a CVS file adn will export to CVS (as well as Page, Numbers, and PDF) using the document function (looks like a box with an arrow; upper left). If this isn't what you are looking for, perhaps you could provide a bit more detail.

  • HT201363 Dear support team, my security is not avalable now ! how can i change it similar to my email accout?

    Dear support team, my security is not avalable now ! how can i change it similar to my email accout?

    If the old ID ("email address") is your ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Please don't put your personal information here. No one from Apple monitors these questions, so you get user-to-user assistance only.
    Unfortunately, your iPad is locked to another account. Unless the original party provides you with the password, then you will not be able to unlock the iPad. Apple will not provide you with the password, that is their rules. Either you return the iPad or find the original owner who probably won't give you the password either, but you can ask.

  • Service Desk - assign support team according to call status

    Dear SolMan Service Desk experts,
    We have copied the standard Service Desk transaction type to an own transaction type, and have adapted the transaction type and created a customer specific status profile.
    Now we want to find out how it is possible to assign a "support team" depending on the status. This means e.g.
    when the status is set from "In Process" to "Approved" a different support team "Basis" should be assigned automatically.
    when the status is set from "Approved" to "Escalated" a different support team "EscalationMgrs" should be assigned automatically.
    This is different to the usual and well know support team determination after call creation.
    Q: Is this possible with the PPF and the actions provided in standard?
    Q: What needs to be done to implement support team assignment by status?
    Q: Is there a description available to achieve the desired result?
    Unfortunately I did not find the needful in notes 616946 and 1512895, and also the PFAC rule 13200137 seems not to be helpful as the STATUS is not available in the Container, and as it seems once a support team is assigned the rule does not change the support team anymore. Is that correct?
    Best regards,
    Peter

    Hi Ram,
    here are the points to be done, when setting up the automatic support team determination in your Solution Manager system:
    You will have to set up your organizational model by using the transaction PPOMA_CRM. Make sure before, that in table T77S0 the value for HRALX HRAC is set to "X", otherwise no Business Partners will be assigned in your org structure!
    Then you will have to set up your finding rules by using the transaction PFAC, using the rule AC13200137. When ready, you can simulate rule checking if it is working. The determination is working by using the SAP component.
    To the different message numbers taken, when creating a new message: Depending on the way, how the message is created (through the Help-function or using the ta NOTIF_CREATE, resp. CRMD_ORDER) the sequence of creating the two parts of the message (a message in your SolMan system consists of a Basis/ABA-message and a CRM-message) is different. If you create a message via Help, the Basis-message is created first and the number range of the Basis messages defines the number for your message. On the other hand, if you create your message by using NOTIF_CREATE, the CRM-part is getting set up first, so the number range (to be maintained with the ta CRMC_NR_RA_SERVICE) for the CRM messages defines the number for your message.
    I hope this short explanation helps you,
    regards
    Csaba

  • T500 Problems and experiences with Lenovo's technical support / EZServ

    After some issues and numerous calls to Lenovo's Technical Support, I just thought I would share my experiences here.
    First off, I currently own a ThinkPad T500, which was designed to be a replacement for my older ASUS laptop.
    While the ASUS laptop is still running okay, I have had a hard time trying to get the company to properly warranty the laptop. (they would make falsified claims that nothing is wrong with the laptop, so that they would not have to replace any parts - and when they do replace parts, they would simply create another problem and totally ignore the described problem.) The experiences were so stressful and disgusting such that I am sick of arguing with the company any further. My decision on the ThinkPad was based on that IBM/Lenovo is designed to serve business class customers and theoretically should have "business-class support". For this very reason, I have added the best warranty service they was offered to me at the time (3yr onsite + accidental). I am just guessing at that time I just wanted to get away from small companies and go to a company that would back their customers' laptops.
    As soon as I got my hands on a T500, however, I have noticed that something is wrong with the card reader. Apparently the reader on the machine would not read SDHC cards (it does read SD cards, however.) This is a problem because I only use SDHC cards and the machine was not able to read any of them. As the card reader controller is manufactured by the same manufacturer (Ricoh) and my older ASUS laptop was able to read SDHC cards, I thought something odd was going on with my machine. This was also based on the evidence that other T500 owners were able to read SDHC just fine.
    In addition to the card reader, I was also having troubles in which the machine would freeze whenever Nero Burning ROM (a CD/DVD authoring software) is used.
    My first support call to Lenovo was not that pleasant, given that I was placed on hold for 20 minutes when the rep was looking up specs for SHDC compatibility. The rep also said that they would not troubleshoot 3rd party software and would not help me on the issue. I was also told that I should also call back during "regular business hours (apparently until 5pm EST, or 2pm PST (my time)" (despite that the technical support hotline is open 24/7) so that a supervisor can handle my case. This makes it very difficult for me to get to someone with any authority as I am usually busy throughout the day until late afternoons (~4pm PST -> 7pm EST).
    Nevertheless, my second call to Lenovo was much more pleasant. The rep handled my case in a timely fashion and promptly provided replacement parts indicated by my problem. (Onsite motherboard replacement for the card reader, and a separate shipment for the DVD-RW drive). Turns out that the motherboard replacement did fix the SDHC issue, although the freezing problem was not caused by hardware failures, but rather a faulty driver that was corrected after Lenovo released an update months later on the Intel SATA controller drivers.
    Five months later, after having to use a broadband WWAN card for my work, I also started to notice there is something wrong with the broadband WWAN card. The card used is the Ericsson F3507g card (or the AT&T broadband WWAN option). Not only would the connection be very flaky, it would also drop connections fairly frequently. It seems that a SIM card pull to another card would result in a perfect connection and ever since I have been using an addon card instead to use the Internet. When I confronted Lemovo with the problem, the experience was worse than the first one. I have made at least six service calls to Lenovo and everytime the reps will waste my time with basic troubleshooting which I told them repeatedly that I have already done (I have even reinstalled the OS but it seems that it does not matter to the reps). Here are some things that are repeated over and over:
    1) Can you uninstall the Power Manager Driver and the Wireless WAN drivers and reinstall them?
    2) Can you go on to our website and download the WWAN drivers (document ID: MIGR-70000 - I even remembered this number since it was repeated so many times) - and the Power Manager Driver and reinstall it?
    3) Can you go to Device Manager (the rep would go step by step to it even though I told him I already know how to get there), and see if there are any "bangs" (exclamation marks) on any of the devices?
    4) Since you were able to connect to the AT&T network, then from the hardware standpoint there is nothing wrong with your card. This indicates there is a software configuration or a driver problem. (I have been trying to acquire the latest drivers but what I have was already the latest)
    5) Since your card could connect to the network, you should contact your provider for help. (AT&T blames it on the card)
    6) I'm sorry but there is nothing I can do to help you. You should contact your provider about the card (despite that I acquired the card from Lenovo and not from them)
    7) Are you sure that your card is activated properly? It doesn't show in our systems that the card has been activated properly. You will need to call both AT&T and the Lenovo activation hotline (whatever this is) to have your card work properly. (I have never heard of this before)
    Despite telling these reps I have an addon card that works perfectly and that I have done all the basic troubleshooting already, none of them are really willing to give me a replacement card. They would either request that I send my computer back to the depot (which I do not want to do since I use this laptop everyday and that's why I have onsite warranty), fail to help me, or transfer me to someone else that makes me do all the troubleshooting all over again. (Every call I made to Lenovo can be said to be composed of at least 20 minutes of basic troubleshootings with the end result of not being able to help)
    After having the case escalated to a team leader, I was told that someone would give me a call within a few hours since their team leader is with another customer. Result? No callbacks. Not within a day, nor two.
    Called Lenovo again, they apologized, but samething happened - supervisor on the line - promised another callback by a supervisor - but nothing, nada!
    Called Lenovo a third time - was again told the same thing, but I am not falling for that anymore - the rep finally agreed to give me a replacement, as well as as to send out a technician that would fix the LCD cover that is starting to get loose on one side.
    At that time, I was so frustrated and this reminds me of the pain I have went through with my old ASUS laptop and their grumpy customer service. It just seems to me that it has to be that difficult to have anything resolved or fixed. (What is especially frustrating is that the basic reps do not have any authority to make any decisions, 90% of the time I will need to be transferred to a supervisor of some sort before my case can be handled successfully - which is hard at times given that I only have until 2pm PST to call them)
    Received replacement, but did not fix issue. I have noticed that the GPS (which was part of the WWAN card) also has problems getting adequate signals for a 3D Fix. I have once again called Lenovo, this time raising the concerns with the GPS and seeking for help. Along with the basic troubleshooting, here is what Lenovo has to say about the GPS issue which frustrates me even more:
    1) uh, G..P..S? what GPS? (most reps I call say this, shows me that they either don't know what a GPS is or know that there is a dedicated GPS builtin on the Ericsson module. Perhaps they don't even know that ThinkVantage GPS existed)
    2) You will need to have active service in order to use GPS (I do have active service, but nevertheless that statement is false since a 3D fix can be successfully acquired with a dummy card - I guess the rep has no idea what he/she was talking about)
    3) That's a software issue - you need to call AT&T and tell them about the problem (Again, I guess the rep has no idea that the GPS is not linked to AT&T's networks - there is a dedicated GPS on the card that allows the ThinkVantage GPS tool to acquire proper GPS signals) (Also, why would AT&T troubleshoot a tool that Lenovo made called ThinkVantage GPS? - I don't get it)
    4) You need to uninstall, and then reinstall the Power Manager driver and also the latest WWAN drivers. (I did that, did not work - I have told them I even reinstalled the OS from scratch)
    5) You need to go uninstall, and then reinstall the Wireless LAN drivers (although I am talking about wireless WAN, not LAN)
    6) There are two wireless adapters in your laptop? Are you sure about this?
    7) LAN, or WAN? What are you referring to? (I guess some reps are not aware what WWAN means)
    After dealing with the numerous reps that have no idea what I was talking about, I have decided that I would just take the machine into depot, which would give me a chance to explain the other issues I have with the machine as well.
    Here are some of the issues I am having with my T500 right now (please comment if you have the same issues or perhaps have a possible solution/workaround for it)
    1. The left side of the LCD cover has a pressure point, which causes the cover to dislodge from the rest of the panel slightly when pressure is applied from the back side of the cover. (Could be caused by closing the lid, for example) - IBM technician applied some adhesive to the inside, which helped it from dislodging, although the left side is still a little filmsy compared to the right.
    2. This error randomly pops up at infrequent intervals: "Display driver igfx stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
    The latest GFX driver is installed and all updates have been installed. OS has been reinstalled but problems still occurs infrequently.
    3. This error also pops up at infrequent intervals: "Active protection is not functioning as system detected the abnormal sensor status. To diagnose the sensor device, run PC DOCTOR DOS - HDD Active Protection Test and if it still shows, contact Help and Service for repair." The only problem is, my laptop only came installed with PC Doctor 5 for Windows and when I run it"
    I ran a sensor check in DOS using the diagnostic CD and the sensor checked out okay. This error seems to happen mostly after I changed a setting in the Active Protection System software. (ex. changing the suspend time, etc)
    4. By default, the internal microphone does not work. In order for the internal microphone to work, the Advanced multi-stream mode must be enabled in the SmartAudio control panel. If both redirection options are enabled, the internal microphones and the speakers would then work normally. However, the hotkey controls on the ThinkPad would not control the right device when headphones are plugged in (since headphones are classified as its own device when the Advanced stream mode is enabled) - Mute and volume controls thus only controls the internal speakers' volume, and have no control whatsoever when headphones are plugged in.
    5. The brightness on the T500 is rather dim. I am not sure if that's how the monitor is, but I can hardly see anything unless the display brightness is close to the max setting. I have the 1680x1050 matte screen.
    6. The WWAN card does not make a stable connection to the network and ThinkVantage GPS does not acquire a 3D Fix even when under direct sky for >20 minutes. What is interesting though is that if I turn off the monitor screen (Fn+F3) or close to lid, the WWAN connection will be very stable and GPS will function normally (acquire fix usually within 2-3 minutes). If the monitor/screen is turned back on after a GPS Fix is acquied, the signals will quickly deteriorate and the updates will either become delayed/inaccurate or a fix will be lost. The brighter the screen, the harder it is to get a fix or a stable connection. (At the max setting it is almost impossible to get a fix while at the lowest brightness a very weak fix can be acquired - this is the case even many sattelites have been detected) Perhaps something with power consumption? Or the LCD drawing too much power?
    7. Although it does not happen very frequently, pressing Fn+F3 to turn off the display might cause the LCD to flicker on and off non-stop.
    8. This used to happen more with the older version of the Lenovo Fingerprint Software - but sometimes the software tends to get stuck at the welcome screen after returning from sleep/suspend/standby mode. The screen will remain at Please Wait forever and a hard restart will be required to get back into Windows.
    9. At frequent intervals the sound from the internal speakers would stop working and only the headphones would work. The sound might, however, come back if I leave the headphones plugged in long enough and unplug them. Restarting the Windows Audio service will temporarily restore audio but the same issue tends to happen again soon after that. Driver issue? (I am not sure if it's relevant, but I tend to put my computer to sleep instead of shutting it down)
    I have explained all of these issues on a piece of paper that I have included in my shipment to Flextronics. I have also included in big letters to make sure that they do not send the laptop to the address where they originally sent the "box" to. This is because I am only at that address a few days during the year and I don't plan to be there most days during the year.
    On the first day, it seemed that the status changed from "Machine being repaired" to "Hold for customer information".
    Apparently I missed a call from a number with an area code of 901 (which is Memphis, TN - I assume this is Lenovo's support center, since this is where the package was sent to). No messages were left on the voicemail. Called the number back, but was however told that I dialed the wrong number and no one has ever called me on this number (the lady on the phone was quite rude too) I then called the 800 EZServ number instead, turns out that they wanted one of my passwords which I gave them.
    The evening after I saw that the machine was successfully repaired and that it is being shipped back to me. However, no tracking number was provided. (There still isn't a tracking number on the EZServ status page)
    Hoping that my machine was repaired in good condition, I took a day off so I would be able to wait for UPS to deliver my laptop.
    Such that I have something to work with, I called the EZServ # and see if they had a tracking number for my shipment. At the same time, I asked what components were replaced and/or what components were installed to the system. To my surprise, they reimaged the whole system and I was not even informed about this at all! (I do understand I checked the Yes box in the problem description page, but I felt that it was important that the repair center let their customers know before their data will be destroyed - luckily I imaged my laptop right before I shipped it out so I have a copy of my data) In addition, it also seemed that they did not read any of the pages I enclosed in the shipment since nothing about the WWAN card was ever mentioned, despite special emphasis placed on this when I called Lenovo to have my computer sent back. It seemed that the rep only recorded one of the problems I listed above, which was unsatisfactory.
    The repair process was disappointing, as I have included in my problem description that I have previously tried reinstalling the whole OS from scratch and the problems did not go away. Reimaging the system will also probably have no effect on the problems I have described in the problem description.
    What is more surprising to me though was that they totally skipped the notation I put on to have the notebook shipped to an alternate address relative to the box address. To make this impossible to miss, I miss drew a big * and circled it many times so that anyone would see it if they were reading the sheet. I found out shortly after checking on the UPS website that the city the package was being shipped to was that of the wrong address, and not the city of that of the alternate address. I was horrified after knowing that the package would not arrive today but yet I still took a day off work. (How disappointing?!)
    Again and again, I called EZServ to see if I can have the package intercepted so it can be delivered to the right address. An intercept was placed on the package, although I received a call 30 minutes later from UPS saying that the intercept failed since the package has already been delivered. UPS also told me there is no way the people living there can simply return it and continue on with the intercept. Not happy with what I am hearing, I called EZServ and see if they can set up a pickup request to have the package delivered to my address. The first rep hanged up on me shortly she answered. The second rep called UPS, placed me on hold for more than 20 minutes, then hanged up on me. The third rep called UPS, and told me that they have esculated the case and that "UPS will handle everything", whatever that means. (she refused to disclose any more details). She told me that I would be receiving a call from her shortly on the details on the upcomings and promised that I would be receiving my laptop back. As with Lenovo, I didn't receive any callbacks. I called EZServ once more, and all they would say is tell me to wait. Sick and tired of waiting and calling and not getting anywhere, I drove 100 miles to where they shipped my laptop and picked it up there. I just don't know whether to trust the EZServ people anymore....
    As far as the laptop goes, I didn't have time to open the box or to test it yet. But I will let you all know once I have taken a look at the results.
    While the past experiences have been painful, I haven't lost all hope in Lenovo yet - although I really think that the customer service can really improve on certain levels.
    Please give me advices on what to do next!
    Thanks for reading this!
