Did your replacement (cto) mbp fix the freezing issue?
As said in the title i am really interested into knowing whether or not the replacement (latest) provided by apple (mainly the cto coming right now from china) have addressed the freezing issue. I had the freezing once up to now but without using intensively the mbp and apple are ready to replace it. I hesitate as if it is a hw problem has it been fixed already in latest machines? If it is a sw problem the replacement would be useless. What do you think? Please advise.
Ciao
ps i called apple us from france and they told me that they are not familiar to this freezing problem....bs!!!!

Keep us posted, if there are people whose replacements have been working fine for 1-2 months or more I may consider getting one myself.
And how much information does Apple require before they replace your machine? Do you have to reproduce the freeze for them?

Does the 10.6.4 update fix the freezing issues with the i5 & i7 MBP's
Since I am on the fence about buying a new 15" MBP I would be interested to know what effect the new update has on the latest MBP's and the freezing issues some are experiencing.
The "freezes" that are mentioned in other threads here appear to be due to a wide variety of different issues. Looking at the relevant posts I'd reckon about one in thirty of them at the most are due to an unusual issue with a few of the current MBPs. The other 29 are simply the regular array of things that cause freezes on any computer - out of date software, corrupted directory structures, the migration of already corrupted software from older computers, duplicate or corrupted fonts, badly written third party software, the occasional shonky HD or RAM module, etc etc etc.
THis is a non-issue from what I can see. Some people may well benefit from updating to 10.6.4 , but probably only because it replaces some files that have been corrupted for other reasons in the past.
I certainly wouldn't be putting off getting a new MBP on the basis of the stuff here. Sure, some people will experience "freezes", but there doesn't really seem to me to be anything out of the ordinary being reported here with respect to the new MBPs. There are a thousand and one things that can lead to "freezes". In a few cases it probably is due to a hardware problem with one component or another. In the vast majority, however, it will simply be because of the common old "thousand and one shocks that silicon chips, magnetic storage and software developers are heir too"!

I have a horrible time with my new Iphone-4, No SIM card found issues and while i tried to contact customer care with device serial number getting a messgae of "Our records indicate that this product has been replaced. Please provide the serial number for your replacement product to find the support and warranty coverage information. For more information, please contact us."
What step should i take next.Where did you get the phone?
That phone was replaced by Apple or an AASP and was not returned to Apple as it should have been, or it was stolen from Apple or somewhere in the supply chain.
You can not get support from Apple for that phone.
Return it to wherever you got it and get your money back. -
iOS 7.0.3 did not fix the mirroring issue with ATVs and AirServer. Anyone have an idea what needs to be done? The only solution we have found is to reboot the iPad. We don't have the option of restarting the wireless as so many people are on and it would further disrupt classes.

Does 1.01 software update fix the freezing Apple logo porblem?
Been on holiday since before this was released and therefore not hasd a chance to check. I have my iPod classic 160GB with me and it seems to be working sweetly with 4,000 tracks (30% of my library). This is the most I could ever sucessfully upload despite trying with 2 different models. I love the interface, even if it is slowish and the sound quality is good too. I don´t want to have to return another one, this time for a refund as will miss the good things about it.
I return from holiday on Sunday and would like to think that the freezing issue has been reslove via the firmware update (or iTunes 7.4.2) but cannot find any confirmation of this. A lot of the posters with this problem appear to have gone away. Does this mean it´s fixed?Hello !
I have a ipod classic 160gb, and i updated it to 1.0.1, but my itunes was 7.4.1 while synching. I have the apple-logo-freeze problem when i try to synch my whole library. The Update to 1.0.1 didn't change anything!
So far i found out my ipod is working with "almost" all playlist synchronized, it's just one playlist-folder i can't synch or it will freeze. But i already tried to synch that folder first without the other music, then it works flawless, but when filling it up with the rest, it freezes again, it's really annoying, i can't localize the problem at all. It seems like the ipod won't work with all the playlists on it. Well, trying now to update itunes and do the whole thing again... for about the 9th time -

Did iOS 4.0.2 fix the Calendar Birthday issue?
Anyone know if this latest update fixed the Calendar issue with incorrect Birthdays?
No, it didn't. Only "things" relating to the security problems with PDF files. Cerfianly nothing to do with Calendar functions.

Did they bother to fix the GPS issues in new update 3.1.3?
Just wondering if they have bothered to fix the gps issues that countless people seen to have with the 3gs, me included. We shouldn't have to mess around putting phone into airplane mode, turning location settings on and off and resetting network settings to get googlemaps to pick up the bloody gps, only to then have it not work again as soon as you exit maps and having to repeat the process. With the amount of people suffering the same issues it leads me to believe the reason it hasn't been addressed is because apple don't know how to fix if. Although not documented as one of the fixes I was just wondering if it's performing any better. Any info is appreciated, cheers.

How Can I Fix The Graphics Issue...?
After having my computer for a few years, it started getting an artifact around the mouse, and when it did that, everything was frozen, key commands didn't work, and I would have to manually shut it down.
I went to the Apple store, and they couldn't get it to boot, even with their external drive. The guy at the Apple store took my computer into the back, and a few minutes later, brought it out. He said he had gotten it to boot, without their external drive, but wouldn't tell me how. He said there was a problem with my video card. He said $400 to fix it.
Not having the money, I left. A friend told me how to safe boot the computer, and now it will turn on, despite the artifacts and graphics problems. Why didn't the guy at the store tell me this? It's obviously the only way he could have booted it. He wanted to charge me $50 to back up my data, when I could do it myself under the safe boot.
The thing is, when using safe boot, I have no audio or video functionality- the camera doesn't work, the speakers don't work, and the disc drive doesn't work. I've read up on this, and it's an issue for a lot of macs, from about the time I bought mine. They say there was too much glue used somewhere in the computer (2 or 3 little chips with too much glue or something), and over time the glue/ adhesive gets too hot, and spreads to other areas and ruins them (ie. my graphics card). That's my simplified understanding of the issue, anyway.
Why won't Apple replace it for me? They won't let me trade it in, because it won't boot right, but this is an issue they were aware of at some point. I spent a lot of money on this laptop and it's really nothing more than a digital typewriter now.
Does anyone know how I can fix the graphics issue? Aside from shelling out the money I don't have for something that's really Apple's fault? It'd be really nice to be able to, I don't know, watch things and listen to things. That was the whole reason I got this thing.
Thanks for any ideas, feedback, sympathy, empathy or other comments.
<Edited by Moderator>Ok, you are right, maybe I don't know it for a fact . . . but from all the things I read in various forums, there was a batch (or something similar) of macs (the exact kind I have) that did have too much glue on some parts, and it caused all sorts of problems for different people, most of those problems being with the graphics card. Apparently the excess glue overheats and leaks out of where it's supposed to stay, and whatever it has the misfortune of getting on goes to pot.
I got very brave, thinking my computer was shot- I opened it, and there was, indeed, crusty glue coming out from under some ... things ... three square chip like things ... and it had seeped onto the edges my graphics card. Having seen the inside of other laptops, I know it was not supposed to look like that no matter how old it is.
This whole issue happened just a few months after my (overpriced, unused) AppleCare expired. Irony?
I did backup all my data and files (no thanks to the Apple people; and on safe boot the disc drive won't work, so I had to borrow my friend's external hard drive for backing up), and did a clean install with the original discs. It was a huge hassle, and when it was finally done, I booted my computer normally. It worked for about 10 minutes before it got artifacts all over and froze, at which point I had to force shut it down. I've tried the clean reinstall a few times, but the problem (I think) is that the glue inside already did the damage, and my graphics card is shot. So, I've been running it on safe boot for months. No music. No video. No disc drive. OH- and the best part- on safe boot, the airport won't work. I can't use wi-fi, and I can't take my laptop anywhere because I'm tethered to a modem. It's the worst thing ever. All of it. It's horribly depressing.
I'm just really frustrated and irritated that this happened, and Apple won't do anything. I do realize they don't HAVE to do anything- buyer beware and whatnot- BUT as a reputable company they should at least let me trade in with the discount or whatever. I didn't have to choose Mac, it was the most expensive computer I looked at- but it has so many awesome functions and things . . . that I can't even use . . .
As a poor college student I don't have the option to get a new computer or have Apple replace any parts in this one, so I just kind of feel like Apple screwed me over. Their fault? Maybe not. Their product? Yes, so they should want to keep me as a future customer. At least I think so.
I guess this isn't quite a question. But I would love more feedback, ideas, anything. Has anyone else had this problem? Can I replace my own video card? Will Apple do anything at all? I love macs but I might never get another one, since this could happen again.
And- unrelated- who changed the title of my post, and how, and why? -
How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?
This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

There is a problem with autoHeightRows and columnStretching used together in 11gR1.
Have you tried without columnStretching?
Or have you tried if it works in 11gr2?
TimoHi Timo, Thank you very much for taking time to respond to my question.. :)
Back to my question...
I tried removing the columnStretching although my requirement really requires this but no effect really happens even if I remove this.
Based on my investigation on the generated HTML, I notice the following items:
1. A table is being wrapped in a div that is being set at a fixed height.
2. On first load, if your autoheight rows is set to 6, the framework is setting a height of 96px to the div. This height would almost cut the last row of the table.
3. If you try to refresh the page or try to re-PPR the component, the framework resets it to 102px which causes the last row to be fully displayed.
My only concern is that IE is perfectly displaying this while Chrome and FF are having problem.
Based on my understanding, the framework is messing up the height only on first load. Not sure but this is how I see it. I am really not confident also on my findings
and I would most likely hear other's comment.
Thanks. -

I know you guys think you fixed the Newcastle temperature problem. But there are still a LOT of us out here who are having trouble, using latest BIOS. People are reporting this all over the MSI forums. The behavior is as follows, flashing the BIOS might help initially, but soon after the temp shoots way back up.
