Got my 27" i5 a week ago. Didn't notice the yellow tinge initially. I did pick up the 'louder than I'm used to on a Mac' hard drive noise. Nothing that really bugged me that much but I did want to know if it was normal (in the end, my quad-core iMac is still way quieter than the Centrino Lenovo laptop I have at work). When I looked around online to research the latter issue, I saw all the posts on the yellow tinge. Got me worried and I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to see if my screen had something. Finally picked up a rather faint yellow tinge on the bottom left corner, which seems to fade depending on how much I tilt the screen. After a few days of living with both, I don't notice it anymore. In fact, I've realized that the 21.5 iMac I bought last Fall has a more pronounced tinge, which I had never picked up before. So, my take is that no screen (or machine for that matter) is ever perfect. In the end, I'll likely end up living with the slight imperfections knowing that I'll never get a spotless machine and exchanges might just reveal problems I'm even less comfortable with. NP
you definitely have that right no Panel is perfect and you should see some post here there were some insane people creating some chaotic yellow tinged problem, even to the point that you started to believe it is a problem and that you need to get it replace.

I am soooo disappointed with the apple customer service at the local store in Tampa......every time they give u an appointment and make people wait for hours......there was some cosmetic problems with the screen of my Mac book pro....they replaced it but the computer would not turn on....and btw when I went to pick up my computer the representative handover my computer to another guy without checking his id who was there to pick up his phone.......then I had to take it back second time this time they messed up my iWork...I took it back but they couldn't retrieve my history of purchase of iWork...and then when I installed the iWork at home...none of the applications is working.... .I will have to take is back fourth time.....I loved apple products but may be not anymore.......
Other than what Shotist007's remarks (which solves nothing) your experience is not common. First I would speak to the store manager to get things rectified for you. If that doesn't work out then I would contact AppleCare and speak to a customer service representative and complain via that venue.

Please, the battery of my mac air does not last more than two hours, it's been over 30 days I sent for technical assistance and nothing! I am very disappointed with the mac air, I had a very different expectation of apples products!!!
Maybe the problem is not your MB Air......
Try these:
Make sure bluetooth is turned off if you're not using it.
Set your screen brightness to 4 bars.
See what's loading in your login items. Delete the ones you don't need.
Open Activity Monitor - under All Processes see what's using most of your CPU's resources.
Highlight the ones with the highest %CPU and hit quit process.
Remember that when Apple says that your battery should last 7 hours, they tested it just browsing the web and not have anything open in the background and screen is set at 50% brightness. -
My Iphone4 Home button sometimes work nicely and sometimes it stop working. India Apple care says they cant give me even paid support because i bought phone from Australia. i don't know what to do. i m disappointed with the product and service support
When you buy an iPhone in the U.S. it's locked to that country with the carrier you bought it for.
If you bought the device unlocked in the U.S. it's unlocked, you can use it on any carrier. Even one's outside the country.
If you want to do a repair on a device you bought in the U.S. and your using it in another country, you must send it back to the U.S. Why? That's where you bought it from.
AppleCare Protection Plans and AppleCare Limited Warranties are registered to your hardware.
Your hardware is your iPhone.
Wherever hardware that was bought then that's the country it was designed to be used in and that's where it was manufactured.
Apple is very localized - if you call U.S. tech support, you'll speak to somone in your country.
So, what does all this mean?
In order to do a repair, you need to send it back to the country you got it from.
And we're all customers like you. We understand that you're upset, but Apple isn't gonna bend the rules to one individual.
Policy is policy. Get over it. -
Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc. I love the features, but I'm disappointed with the performance. Any help coming from Apple? I've been sending them so many reports after crashes, that their file must be full!
Summoning max. courage, I did what you advised. Here is the result. What does this tell you? My Lion 7.2 (mid 2011 iMac) has several annoying glitches (which I have so far tolerated through gritted teeth) but none that have actually stopped me working.
BTW, I see several items involving CleanMyMac which I did not know I had. It is generally villified as a trouble-maker. Spotlight can't find an app. or a utility of that name. How can I get rid of what's there please? Just delete?

After installing iOS6, my Maps are not working at all, anything i search it says "result not found" even after placing a pin and selecting "Direction to here" i get the same result not found. Very disappointed with the new iOS.
Have you run it in a debugger? That will show you exactly what is happening and why.

My iPhone car charger was professionally installed in 2010 and again in 2013 and had been working perfectly for all of this time, now it's coming up with the yellow triangle and the text saying that this accessory isn't supported. Is there an easy way to fix this without tearing everything to bits? It all appears to have gone boonta about 3 upgrades ago and I haven't been able to use it since.
I've seen and tried the suggestions on Google, none of them work for long, and I'm certainly not going to tear the car kit or phone apart to overcome something that is obviously a software issue. Surely Apple can overcome this?
And the bloody "Terms and Conditions" fiasco! 55 pages of mumbo jumbo that nobody would read EVER, and you get to the end and nothing happens. I've bought an app from Apple to use on their product and I can't install it because the Terms and Conditions doesn't accept anything. Surely they can fix this?
Come on.....waiting.

I have an iMac and a Drobo FS. The iMac can access the Drobo FS but iMovie does not allow me to select it as a storage location. The Drobo shows up in the Events Library but with the yellow triangle. I am running iMovie 08. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
As far as I know you cannot use a Drobo FS with iMovie.
For iMovie events the storage drive needs to be formatted as "Mac OSX Extended - Journaled" this is the HFS+ file system.
The Drobo FS uses the EXT3 file system, and it cannot be changed.
Very annoyingly this means that iMovie can only be used with a drive that is using the HFS+ file system.
I have a Drobo FS that I use with both PC's and Macs - and I love it. Sadly I cannot use iMovie with it. So I purchased a seperate Hard Drive - A G-Tech 3 Tb - and this works fine with iMovie.
As far as I know the FS Drobo's are the only ones that cannot be formatted to HFS+.
I don't know why Apple designed iMovie like this, but I find it very frustrating.
If you want extra storage for iMovie, you will need to purchase a drive that can be HFS+ formatted.
Here is a link to the Drobo site with the various file systems that they support:

Good luck. -
I selected a clip in the Project window in iMovie 11, opened the Clip Trimmer for that clip, chose the part of the clip I wanted to keep with the yellow bars, and "trim to Selection" in the menu bar is light grey so I can't complete the edit.
I'm using a MacbookPro so can't right click to highlight (as was suggested in this forum for the same problem) and can't seem to highlight that area. What do I do?When using the Clip Trimmer, you click DONE to indocate that you are finished.
The Trim To Selection is a great tool and I use it all the time, but you use it in the main project timeline, not the clip trimmer. Just select the frames you want so that the yellow border is around them. Then right-click and select Trim to Selection. -
Blackberry Support - Unexpectable....disappointment with the support
I have been using BB curve 8520 from past 30 months. Just now ,my Touch pad was not working. so i had submitted the phone to BB Service Centre. After 5 days,i am getting a mail my BB is '" Unrepairable ". If Blackberry itself can't repair the phone whats the matter of buying BlackberrySmartphones.. Highly Disappointed with the revert of Blackberry..
Unless Apple announces, which they very rareley do, there is no way to know what their plans for the future are.
You can leave feedback for them at:

Really disappointed with the answerable from Apple
Hi Imobl
What is the meaning of " you may even be getting a new one
rather than a refurbished one - but there is no way for you to tell which
it is. " ? This answers definitely misleads the customers of making them feel that they could get a new one but 99.99% absolutely not.
Another unacceptable answer from you is "Not a bad deal for a used iPad. " what is that mean? I pay the price of a brand new iPad just for six months then a quality problem accursed that Apple can fix it now i was told that i have to accept a replacement of a refurbished because that is the policy of Apple. Does that policy protect Apple rather than their customers?
Really disappointed with the service and irresponsible answer of such a big company like Apple , better think of another brand name in the future.First this is a technical base forum and we are users just like your self here. With that said your post is agaisnt the terms and use you just agreed to. if you have feed back for apple go to apple.com/feedback. Thank you

Really disappointed with the Macbook pro
Hi all,
I purchased a Macbook pro in the middle of January 2011 with some inheritance money. I went for the cheapest one - was going to go for the white macbook like my partner but thought it would be worth the extra money to upgrade to the pro. It was the first time i had made the move from PC to Mac, but was fairly familiar with the systems having owned an ipod touch for a while and my partner also having a macbook.
4 months on...and i have to say I am really really disappointed with my Macbook pro and certainly not worth over £1000 i paid for it. This is mainly because:
i find that after a while of watching movies (15 - 20 mins), the video starts to "stutter" and the mouse jumps when i try to move it. I thought this was only the case on flash-based websites (like Youtube - although there is no problem on my partners basic macbook) so installed click2flash. I have since come to realise that it also happens whilst watching DVDs etc. I also thought it may be when the battery is low, but it happens even when it is plugged in. I cant understand how it happens on mine but not my partners even though my Pro is supposed to be a high spec (isnt it???)
I use Garageband and often record myself by mic input over the top of backing tracks that i import into the program. I have to record with no effects on my voice to begin with whatsoever , nor the backing track, and have to minimise the garageband window to the dock as when it is open and scrolling, i get the "Part of the project was not played. This project has too many tracks, effects, or notes to be played in real-time." error.
The other day, i noticed my macbook pro would not burn CD-Rs (both music Cds and MP3s) and later realised that i could burn anything up to 6 or so tracks (about 20-25 minutes worth of audio). After trawling the forums, trying slower burn speeds, different brands of CD-R and lens cleaning cds (which froze in my macbook) I still have a faulty disc drive. I have now discovered that the end tracks of some audio cds i have will not play so is obviously something wrong with the drive.
I'm very frustrated and can't help but wonder if maybe i should have just got a £500 windows laptop instead!
Any help and feedback would be much appreciated. Are Apple Support good at dealing with stuff like this? Am i best calling and discussing over the phone or taking it in to a Genius bar? I have also ran all the latest software updates.
Thanks!
Tom

<Edited by Host>>the video starts to "stutter" and the mouse jumps when i try to move it.
That's the fault of the video format you are viewing. It probably caches itself to the hard disk, and the sudden motion sensor gets triggered by the hard drive, if you give it any innertia. You could create a RAM Disk with any of a number of solutions you can Google.
And DVD drives don't like being bounced around. See what I have to say about CD failure below too. Anything can cause a disc to get unbalanced, and not play back right. I would not attempt to play DVDs while the machine is in motion, as you can damage the DVD drive of any machine that is.
Garageband has its own forum here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/garageband where someone can tell you if there is a setting you missed to improve the recordings.
CD Burning is a menace throughout the industry because a lot of media is not very high quality. See my FAQ*:

I am very disappointed with the new ipod touch
So apple adds all of this new stuff to the iphone 4s, dual core a5 chip, all new 8MP camera and optics, and siri. Yay, every iphone customer is happy. This is what you added to the new ipod touch, wait its not new, its the 4th generation with the option of having it in white. Whoop-de-do, you added white to it, besides that you didn't add anything new to it. You have pretty much ditched the ipod touch in my opinion. You have greatly disappointed me apple...
What I would really like to see in the next gen Touch is 3G or 4G wireless.
Refillable usage, just like the iPad. Don't want the "contract" requirements
of iPhone. Even if you do by an unlocked iPhone, you can only get
2 year contract service for data, oh yeah and have to get voice as well.
I just want wireless data access in my pocket, and the Touch with 3G/4G
would fit that bill nicely! -
Disappointed with the server based backup ...
I have had a palm pilot from the beginning (some time around 1995) and have been quite happy with the improvements over the years.
I was very happy when sprint introduced the palm centrino, as I could now incorporate my palm data with my cell phone, and manage everything on my computer and my cell phone.
I recently upgraded to the Palm Pre, and I am very disappointed.
I can no longer use my data on my computer & my cell phone.
I can only backup my cell phone data using a web based server, instead on my local computer.
(I am not happy with my data floating around cyber space, out of my control.)
If palm continues with this trend, my next cell phone will not be a palm pilot based phone.
I am sure many feel the same way I do.
Palm... WAKE UP... check with your base users before making such a radical change.
Post relates to: Pre 2 p102una (Rogers)Hello joelynn and welcome to the Palm forums.
You'll want to check out Chapura Echo or CompaionLink. I think both of those apps allow you to sync your Pre 2 with Palm Desktop on your PC over a Wi-Fi connection.
The days of connecting your phone/PDA to your computer to HotSync ended when Palm sold the Palm Desktop software to ACCESS of Japan a few years ago.
Going forward, webOS devices will not sync like the old Palm OS Centro phones and PalmPilot PDAs did.
That's the price of progress, I'm afraid.
