Exchanged my whiny Week 12 today. New Week 12 still whines.

I exchanged my whiny Week 12 MacBook Pro 1.83 today at the Apple Store. I explained the problem to the Apple Genius, who said that he was aware of the problem, and downplayed it by saying that his previous-generation PowerBook G4 does it too (or to be more accurate "sounds like a G5 tower" which I thought was odd, since that isn't my problem at all). Still, he was helpful and had no problem sending me home with a new unit, though he warned that this one might whine too.
Well, he was right. While in every other way flawless, it does whine (CPU whine from left side while running on battery power -- same as before), but at this point I'm done making demands. I'll use the "click on the picture in PhotoBooth" trick until Apple tells us something more definitive. I have work to get done.
The machine is great in every other way. I just hope Apple figures out what's causing this. Maybe we'll get lucky and it can be fixed via software update.
MacBook Pro 1.83 and iMac Core Duo 2.0   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

I had a week 8 1.83GHz machine which I returned for a 2.0 GHz week 11 machine...still has a whine.

  • OS 10.4.7 update eliminated my week 13 MBP whine

    I'm not sure why, but for my MBP the processor whine appears to have been eliminated by the update. I know that for others this isn't the case unfortunately. Previously the Photobooth hack worked but at least for now no hacks are required.
    Now if only the temperature issue could be resolved via a software update. Does anyone know of a way to cause both the left and right fans to run at a low level to improve the computer's cooling??
    thanks,
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   recent update to 10.4.7

    My week 9 still whines and the new update broke the mirror widget fix.
    I backed out to the old USB driver (from 10.4.5) and the mirror widget works fine again.
    You can download the old USB driver in the developer section:
    http://developer.apple.com/hardwaredrivers/download/usbdebug.html
    Use the 10.4.5 version.

  • How do I go about exchanging an old SIM for a new one?

    Got my S5 last week and installed my old SIM card from my previous phone as per the Verizon instructions. Now I am seeing messages on certain apps that say things like "to use Softcard, your phone needs a new SIM". I received a new SIM when I purchased the phone, so how do I now go about exchanging the old SIM for the new one?

        Suncrow, congratulations on your upgrade to a new Samsung Galaxy S5! We recommend that you use the new sim card that came with your device. Just power it off and insert the new card. Your device will automatically start the activation process and complete on it's own. Keep us posted.

  • BT Yahoo homepage 'Today' news module links not wo...

    Hi,
    All the links from the 'Today' news module on my BT Yahoo homepage give a '404 page not found error'.  All worked fine until a couple of months ago.  There are no problems with any other links either from other areas of the BT Yahoo homepage or anywhere else. Others have posted on Yahoo forums (Yahoo answers, Yahoo community) with a similar issue but I haven't found a solution.
    The problem occurs using my PC (IE9/Vista).  Using my laptop (IE9/Win7) on the same router (BT Homehub) all the links work fine.  This would seem to indicate an issue with the PC setup.  However looking in a bit more detail at the link URLs (using right click then 'properties') they all show as HTML documents with addresses of the type: http://home.bt.yahoo.com/new-york-fashion-week--zac-posen-fight-leads-to--1-million-lawsuit.html I'm not sure if this is actually a dead link or not. 
    On the laptop (Win7) the URLs look different  - so the one above (under right click, 'properties') is listed as a system folder with the address: http://home.bt.yahoo.com/ _ylt=AhHAdLGuZCxQzRisacTmZxPGhXmV (won't copy all this but you get the idea).  In the address bar this comes up as http://uk.lifestyle.yahoo.com/new-york-fashion-weekS--zac-posen-fight-leads-to--1-million-lawsuit.ht...  
    I don't know if Win7 and Vista handle the URLs differently but it seems the news article is present at the uk.lifestyle.yahoo.com/ address but not at the home.bt.yahoo.com/ address.  I don't have another Vista machine to compare with so would be interested to know what the 'Today' links URLs look like on someone else's Vista machine.
    Any help finding a solution would be much appreciated!

    I too have difficulty viewing some videos via links on the BT Home Page. I use IE8.
    The video starts to load and then freezes. In the status bar of IE8 I get a flashing web addres something like this:
    waiting for http://static.ak.fbcnd.net/connect/xd_proxy_php
    I did a search and the nearest answer I came up with was that the page is left open to continually update/stream therefore giving the latest version. All well and good if the page loads properly in the first place!
    I am not asked to update Flash Player.
    The fbcnd part of the address would also indicate that the trouble occurs when the link is somehow associated with Face Book.
    This particular link about an unsuccessful long jump is an example:
    http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/world-of-sport/long-jumper-superman-moment-goes-wrong-141125020.... 
     It appears that this is a known problem, See:

    Sounds like you need a new battery.  Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • Moving Exchange from old server to completely new server

    Hello All,
    I hope to get some good pointers here.  I currently have Exchange server 2007 SP1 running today.  The server is old and the warranty just expired.  I have been given permission to buy a new server and migrate to it.  I have the new server
    up and running with Exchange 07 SP1 installed.  I am looking for the best way to migrate and move users from one server, to the new one and decommission the old one.  The storage is    Are there any special steps I need to take?  Do
    I need to do any ADPrep to tell AD to use the new server?   I've tried looking for a guide or a how-to but all I have found are vague and brief ways to install Exchange server, but not to migrate from one server to a new one. These are two separate
    physical servers btw.
    edit -  I forgot to mention that the exchange store is on a SAN via iSCSI
    Thank you,
    David

    David,
    Moving exchange in ten easy steps:
    1.Bring up a new server as a new server in the same site. Use a different name for the new server. If you need to move Exchange to another server with the same name, follow the instructions in the Microsoft article “XADM: How to Move Exchange Server to a
    New Computer with the Same Name” (http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q155/2/16.asp).
    2.To move user mailboxes to the new server, start Microsoft Exchange Administrator, click Tools, and select Move Mailbox. You can move all the mailboxes at once, one at a time, or several at a time. In many cases, you can move mailboxes during working hours
    because each user is locked out of his or her mailbox only while that mailbox is being moved.
    3.Create replicas of the public folders on the new server. When the contents of the folders have been replicated (do wait a little while!), remove the folders from the old server.
    4.Create new connectors on the new servers. Change the costs of the old connectors you're replacing to be higher than the new ones, then recalculate routing.
    5.Create mail exchanger (MX) records pointing to the new Internet Mail Service (IMS) as appropriate, and change the cost on the old MX record so that it’s higher than the costs on the new records. When you’ve verified that messages are flowing across the
    new connectors, remove the old ones, then recalculate routing again.
    6.Follow the steps in the Microsoft article “XADM: How to Remove the First Exchange Server in a Site” (http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q152/9/59.asp) if the server
    you're replacing is the first one in the site.
    7.Leave the old server up for a while to give Messaging API (MAPI) clients time to connect to the new server automatically ( the old server provides referrals to the new one). It's true—you don't have to reconfigure MAPI clients!
    8.Tell POP3 and IMAP4 users how to reconfigure their clients to point to the new server.
    9.If you have a WINS or DNS alias for the old server, point it to the new server.
    10.Stop the Exchange services on the old server, then use Exchange Administrator to delete the old server's server object, thus removing it from the site.
    I hope that helps you out.
    Cheers,

  • If I wanted to exchange my iPhone 5 for the new iPhone 6 (no additional cost after $199 gift card from selling iPhone 5) do I have to pre-order online or do I just have to show up at a Verizon store Sept 19th?

    If I wanted to exchange my iPhone 5 for the new iPhone 6 (no additional cost after $199 gift card from selling iPhone 5) can I pre-order online now or do I just have to show up at a Verizon store Sept 19th?

        scodaddy, that is a wonderful question. We are super excited about the new iPhone. You can always pre-order your new iPhone online and then start the mail in rebate by following this link: http://bit.ly/GGnDDC Or you can always go into the store location and do it all in store on the 19th when the phone is launched. That would depend on if the store has them in stock when you go in. I hope that this was able to address your concern.

  • Can i exchange my ipod 5 for a new one

    because my ipod 5 is very laggy and my battery drain very fast i have to charge it 2-3 time a day so can apple exchange my ipod 5 for a new one?and do i have to pay? im under warranty.

    Exchange an item policy:
    If you purchased your item from Apple in the U.S., you can take it to any U.S. Apple Retail Store for an exchange. Item exchanges are, of course, subject to in-store product availability. It's a good idea to check in-stock availability by calling the Apple Retail Store, or by viewing the product on the Apple Online Store to see if the item is available for pick up locally. Personalized items and custom-configured Macs may not be eligible for exchange at an Apple Retail Store.
    Items ordered on the U.S. Apple Online Store that arrived damaged or are incorrect can be returned to any U.S. Apple Retail Store, or by contacting Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775.

  • I have an iPad 1 and would like to buy the new iPad. Will Apple exchange my old iPad for the new one . I live in Saudi Arabia.

    I have an iPad 1 and would like to buy the new iPad. Will Apple exchange my old iPad for the new one . I live in Saudi Arabia.

    Apple does not take trade-ins. You'll have to look for a dealer that does, though you'll probably get more for the iPad 1 if you sell it yourself.

    if you are subscribed to the Hardwell podcast... quickly open the Podcast app and delete the most recent Hardwell podcast from 3/22.
    for some reason that's causing the crash. i've deleted and it works fine again.

  • Can we exchange our ipad-3 with the new ipad-4 ?

    can we exchange our ipad-3 with the new ipad-4 ?
    apple has introduced a new version of ipad with in 6 months of ipad 3 so we the user of ipad 3 are bit slower now than the upcoming ipad-4...
    so there must be an exchange offer for the ipad-3 to ipad 4

    In the UK the iPad 3rd Gen was sold as 4G when it couldn't actually work with any planned 4G network. The 4th gen now has the ability to work with EE's network in the UK, so I'd expect an exchange programme in the UK because of the law which says that a product must work as advertised, and the fact it's 6 months on and Apple have correct the 4G issue shows they knew it was a problem.

  • New battery, but still problems

    so i posted a topic about a week ago titled "CRAZY ICON-ness"... well, to remedy the battery-caution problem, i baught a new battery. i put it in my mini and then left it charging on with a wall charger while i went out of town.
    i just got back today and it's still doing the same thing: it has the battery-caution icon for about five seconds, then goes blank for a split second, then repeats this.
    does anyone know what the problem is?
