Apple quality going down?

Is it just me or is Apple quality going down the tube? I just got a brand new Apple Magsafe Airline Adapter in the mail for a trip I'm taking - It's DOA. A few days ago, my Magic Mouse died. A few weeks before I bought an Airport Extreme...couldn't get it to work. My first iPad had a problem the first week ...had to get it replaced. At least I haven't had any problems yet with my MBA (knock on wood).
I know these are made in China...I'm just curious if others are having as many problems as I am. I recently switched to Apple because of the "quality" and now I'm wondering if it was the right choice....it's not like this stuff is inexpensive either!

Hi,
I think that Apple product is going down for sure at this point. It is not only in the quality of the product they made, but it also includes the customer service they give nowaday. I bought an ipad 2 a year ago and thought that the quality should be pretty good. However, I just discovered recently that the built-in microphone is defect when I was trying to use FACETIME to communicate with my wife. I brougnt my ipad 2 to apple store and they confirmed it. However, they said that they will be able to do anything since it is out of warranty.
Considering the fact that I ordered this online and it tooks ~5-7 days to deliver the product to my door. It takes 3-4 days for me to bring the ipad to apple store since I can only do it on weekend. I strongly believed that I did not break the "built-in microphone" and it is a defect product. However, they don't care. I guess that it is such a big company now so that they do not care about a single care anymore.
Even if it is broken in the 11 days (out of warranty period), this indicates that their quality is going down for sure. Anyway, I guess I will refuse to buy their product from now on.
If you are goingt o buy anything from Apple, I strongly recommend you to test everything first.

IMac quality going down? My broke down after 1 year and 4 weeks!

I bought the top of the range iMac on July 14, 2011. Today is 1 year and 4 weeks later - it is in the apple shop because the graphic and logic card are broken. With a fee of over 600 dollars.
Is this what one can expect? Just angry!

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
All manufacturers have the occasional bad device. It is the combination of items from multiple manufacturers. That is why Apple Care is a good investment. For about US$100 this would have been a free repair and you would have two more years of warranty coverage.

Sometimes the brigthness is going down

I don't know what happening... Sometimes the brigthness display is going down. I have to go to the system preferences/display and put the brigthness up.
Is it normal?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Tiger also has an Energy Saver option that will automatically reduce the brightness of the built-in display when you switch power sources (A/C adapter to battery). It can dim the display when you go to battery to use less juice.
You can also toggle this option off and on in the Engery Saver System Pref Pane.

How to display visited sites in a different color? For example, when I'm going down an ebay search list.

How do I make settings so that visited sites have a different color hypertext? For example, when I'm going down an ebay search list I want to know what items I already viewed.

Display quality changed

This is weird... My iPod nano spontaneously reset while I was using it, and after that I noticed that the display quality seems to have gone down. Pictures that previously had smooth color transitions now appear dithered. It almost looks as if the bit depth of the display decreased. Has anybody seen anything like this?? Am I going nuts here??
Resetting the iPod didn't fix this. Replacing the images did not fix this. Help?

Agreed, reset the Nano but use the iPod updater to get fresh code back in. A clickwheel+button reset continues reusing corrupted code.

MacBook Pro 2011 15" Battery going down while playing WoW

One week ago, I' ve buyed the new MacBook Pro 15" with dual i7 2,3 GHz, 1GB Graphic Card, etc...
The first one i got, had a trouble with the graphic card and I got it replaced with a new one, but on the "old" and the "new" one i noticed a problem. While i play a well known video game (World Of Warcraft) the battery keeps on going down until it completely discharges... I don' t think it is working as intended, and i noticed that the battery goes down when there are a lot of items etc on the screen and it needs more power to work. Am i the only one experiencing this? Is it "normal" or do I have to replace this MacBook once again?

I just wanted to follow up with an update about the problem I was experiencing. It turns out I bought a wonderful macbook pro with a defective logic board I'm not sure how that gets by quality control, this is my first Mac and needless to say I'm not impressed the computer has been with an authorized Mac reseller and repair place thats still waiting on parts from Apple after 5 days another area I'm not impressed with as they said Apple did not ship parts to Canada this is a brand new computer about two weeks old now. I would recommend to anyone that is having the same problems to take your computer to an authorized apple store or repair depot and get it checked out. Now the question I have is with a problem like that would it have damaged other parts of the computer?
As a refresher the symptoms I had with the computer out of the box was the charge indicator would alternate between amber and green on the mag safe and the tooltip on the display would alternate between saying charging then to not charging while the battery discharged with the computer plugged in. Some programs made this behavior more rapid those programs that seemed to trigger a more rapid display of the symptoms was playing World of warcraft,iTunes,Safari,Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC)though if these programs were not running the problem would happen it was just a bit slower in developing. I Have the mac book pro spring 2011 17 2.2Ghz i7 model.

TS1702 In pages, when I get to the end of a line, the text refuses to start again in the left, it continues on the right and goes down the page, anyone know a solution?

In pages, when I get to the end of a line, the text refuses to start again in the left, it continues on the right and goes down the page, anyone know a solution?

Does this occur in all of your Pages documents? Are you certain that you haven't formatted the type to run flush right? (Align right I mean - sorry old typographer lingo). Look at the ruler at the top and check the Align setting.
Have you tried quitting Pages completely and the restart the iPad?
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Poor full screen display quality

I am in a dual-display environment. One display I have set up as a full-screen display for images as I edit them in Aperture. They show up in a dismally poor quality; a grid-like low resolution. When I zoom in on them, the issue goes away. It's just when an image is displayed in its entirety. This is a 20" Cinema display. Note that there is no display quality issue with Photoshop. Thanks.

Which picture is the refence picture?
I have been noticing that the same image in different programes does look different, colour and tone.. Now I understand that as each programe reads the data differently. BUT with Aperture I have noticed this is the case within aperture and this is crazy.
The photo is different in the loupe again different in the full frame version and yet again with in the grid. So when using the loupe is it possible to compare images enlarged from the grid and so on! and on. and the exported images look diferent again when viewed...
Strange as it is all on one monitor!
Or am I the only one to notice this?

My Website keeps going down everyweek

Hi,
I have a website hosted on Azure (with the Standard pricing tier) and for the past months I am experiencing with outages of about 15-30mins on a weekly basis.
When I first noticed this problem I went ahead and created an alert rule to notify me when the website is not responding. Since then, I have received over 30 emails on different days about the problem.
The issues happen even if my website is not under user traffic at all (2am for instance).
When I am experiencing these problems, I checked the Azure Dashboard and it lists as being ok, with no problems on the service quality. I can access my dashboard but can't navigate to my website.
It is very complicated for me to pay for a cloud service that goes down for 15min each week!
I would like your assistance on identifying the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Apache Tomcat goes down on starting Java application, Oracle error

Hello all
I am running a Java application on Apache Tomcat 5.5. I use Oracle 10g Express Edition as the back-end for my application. I deploy my application using theTomcat manager and it works fine.
However, when I try to access the home page of the application, my Tomcat server goes down. The stdout logs of Apache Tomcat display the following message:
Exception message: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified.
What could the possible reasons be for this to happen? And how can I workaround or fix this?
Thanks
Swetha

This looks like a problem that XE has with some recently altered locales, i.e. Russian. You can work around the problem by making sure that the Java locale (Locale.setDefault()) is supported by XE before the JDBC connect call. For example, use Locale.setDefault( Locale.US ). After connect, you may explicitly set session NLS parameters using ALTER SESSION. You can also restore the Java locale.

Secondary DNS failing to redirect clients when Primary DNS goes down

I have a single domain with two Windows 2008 servers, DC1 (physical) and DC2 (virtual). Both servers run DNS and are GC servers, and the entire domain is on the same subnet (192.168.0.x).
All clients on the network are configured to use DC1 as primary DNS, DC2 as secondary DNS.
DHCP is enabled only on DC1. (This might be part of the issue, not sure).
The problem is that when DC1 goes down for a reboot or repair, we lose access to the internet from our clients. Trying to pull up any website results in a "Page cannot be displayed" error. DC2 is available during this time and can be
pinged from any client but does not resolve DNS requests, even if I specify it as the primary DNS server on one of my workstations. However I can log on to DC2 locally and browse the web.
Here are the results of a DCdiag /dnsall from DC2 (I bolded areas of concern):

Looks like it may be trying to forward to a machine that's down (DC1 and another 192.168.0.7) and root hints aren't available.
Check out this article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff807391(v=ws.10).aspx
See if you can enable DNS access through the firewall to the Internet if it's not already available. Try to match whatever forwarder settings are on DC1, or remove them entirely and let the server resolve DNS from Internet root servers. Alternativly,
you could change your forwarder to a public DNS server you have access to, your ISP should supply this or you could test with something common like 4.2.2.2.

There's this grey line that going down on the entire side of the right of my screen. It only shows up when certain colors are on that side of the screen, so I haven't really been able to notice it and know how long it's been there until today. Anybody have any sort of solutions?
