Extremely disappointed with edge refinement in widows 7 64 bit

I have read numerous "how tos" and watched countless instructional videos on edge refinement and have yet to get results anywhere near what are promised. I've tried all the sliders and I have yet to see hair easily selected or even a clean mask produced.
The documentation on this addition to CS5 is next to nothing.
I can only conclude that all the videos shown using edge refinement use low resolution images so any slider adjustments would be useless in any high resolution image.
Nothing but sheer frustration for the past week has me regretting this purchase of CS5.
If there is some insight as how to actually get a decent result with this tool, please let me know

I disagree. I have tried this refine tool on 3 different computers Mac and PC and have yet to have it do anything approaching a usable selection. The renders are worse than the selection it started out with. If someone would explain what each slider does and in relation to the image and the resolution of the image I could work around the defencies of the tool but since there wasnt any documentation and the online help is worthless, one has to believe the video tutorials which pass on giving any usable information.
I havent even had time to try the other features of CS5 because I've spent hours playing with the sliders trying to get anything useable yet have failed miserably.
I feel that I have been lied too

Extremely Disappointed with Droid Razor M

I have had a Droid 2 for over two years and recently the screen began doing weird things by intermittently not responding to touch screen input or by touching one thing and another untouched started. OK, I still was happy with the old Droid 2 until then. So I got a new Droid Razor M last week. Unless I am within sight of a cell tower, I can not bring up the internet or apps dependent on the internet. I show no 4gl let alone a 3gl signal ant the phone indicated no connection to the internet. My phone service is one bar. This is from the same recliner chair in the same place, unmoved, where I use to happily surf the net with an excellent signal last week. This phone appears it is not receiving very well in that location and those I talk to say I keep breaking up although I hear them well. I'm going back to Verizon to request a replacement. Will let you know how that goes.

Ooo.! Just Hope what i'm seeing are isolated cases in the M's and they aren't going to have the Issue that the Razr HD / Razr Maxx HD is so posed to be having with there antenna's.!

Extremely disappointed with Verizon....

I got rid of my ATT ipad 2 to try android and Verizon $20 1GB data service to save some money. I have been trying to activate for a week now. After literally two hours on the phone with two different reps, my xoom is still not activated. First rep was like what is Motorola Xoom, I have never heard of it, is it like an ipod - are you sure it is Verizon after I repeatedly told her it was, there is even a logo on it etc. I was speechless. She even put me on hold and talked to her manager and came back told me the same thing They have never heard of Motorola Xoom and they doubted it could be activated. Then I called the next day I think, they could not help me again and gave me a different verizon number. I was on the phone for about 50 minutes. They still could not activate it. They even asked me to buy a 4G sim card on a 3G equipment which I did and inserted, still did not work. The individual said she does not activate many of these and basically did not know how to. She gave me a verizon phone number associated with my account and told me someone would call me in couple days. It has been couple days and nobody called. This is really frustrating. If nobody calls me back today, I will return my xoom and happily switch back to ATT and renew my cellphone with them again which expires this month. How difficult this can be? I am speechless.
If any Verizon reps can help here, I would not mind either.
John

I suspect the unit still is internally assigned to the prior owner.
I would Google to see how to wipe the unit clean and then try again, As it should auto register.
Found this link on how to factory reset the device

Extremely Disappointed with iLife 11 - Third Issue with Software

This is an open letter to software developers at Apple.
I purchased iLife 11 on day 1. I've come to trust apple and their heretofore excellent work. I have to say I will think twice about buying your software again.
My issues with software "that just works" because a closed environment...
iPhoto was stuck in an upgrade loop for over 48 hours.
iPhoto still won't put a book together.
And today iMovie is stuck searching through iPhoto for a business drive even though I am home and have no way of connecting to the office drive. There's no option to cancel and open iMovie, just an error message that just keeps repeating, and repeating and repeating.
Did you even Beta this software apple? OMG, this is the biggest p.o.s. experience I've ever had (and that includes windows software bugs). Seriously APPLE, I've converted about 50 individuals into appleheads. You need to issue an apology for this release, my experience has sucked hard.

Hi
a. Apple rarely reads this forum - use
• www.apple.com/feedback/imovie.html
b. free space on Your Start-up hard disk. How much ?
c. Did You trash resp. programs pref files ?
d. Repair permissions ?
e. version of QuickTime (the heart of iMovie and FinalCut) ?

Extremely Disappointed with Customer Service

Saturday, August 1st, my daughter called Verizon customer service to increase my internet speed. The representative helped and said the upgrade would take effect Thursday, August 6. We receive a call on the 6th and were told that we now have the increased internet speed. The internet stopped working once the upgrade took effect. It is Sunday, August 9th and we still do not have internet.
When we call, we’re informed that the call is recorded and I hope that is true. If so, I’d like a customer service manager or specialist to please review the calls that we made from our home number, {edited for privacy}, on Thursday, August 6th, Friday, August 7th, Saturday, August 8th and Sunday August 9th. I believe anyone that listens to our calls and the responses we received from the initial service representative would understand my great frustration.
August 6th, my wife called to notify Verizon that the internet is not working and to get it fixed. She went through the initial trouble shooting attempts with the customer service representative. After, the representative said that a ticket would be created and the issue would be fixed in 24 hours.
August 7th, I called and spoke to another customer service representative. This representative said that the first representative was mistaken, it takes 48 hours. The representative said there is a ticket with the central office.
August 8th, I called to follow up because it has been 48 hours and I was assured we would receive a call from a network specialist. During the call, I was put on hold and disconnected. In the beginning, I was asked for a call-back number. Why did I not receive a call back? I was again told that the first line customer service could not give me any other information than there is a ticket with the central office.
August 9th, my daughter called to get information about why we still do not have internet. We were told 48 hours and at this point, it has been well over that time period. We have not received a call back from a specialist, as promised as well. She spoke to Edward at around 9am, Pacific Time. He informed her that the central office only received the ticket today and said that we would definitely be receiving a call “soon” since it has been more than 48 hours. She asked if she could speak to the central office herself or a network specialist since he could not give her any answers. He informed her that he could not. She asked if she could speak to his supervisor because she was unhappy with not receiving any answers after 4 attempts to resolve our issue. He said that the supervisor would tell her the same thing. She said she understood that he tried everything he could but she wanted to express her frustration and displeasure with not receiving any answers. She had to ask 3 times for the supervisor. He, then, put her on hold and a moment later, the call was disconnected. Again, at the beginning of this call, he asked for a call back number. Why didn’t she receive a call back after the call was disconnected?
When my daughter initially called to increase the speed on August 6th, the first representative she spoke to had put her on hold and she was disconnected. 3 out of 7 times we tried calling Verizon, we were disconnected and not once received a call back.
1. Each representative gave us answers that were inaccurate and conflicting. We did not receive helpful or satisfactory answers.
2. Repeatedly, we were told that we would receive a call back from a network specialist within a time period, and have not.
3. On multiple calls, we were disconnected at very suspect moments during the calls, and did not receive a call back.
4. After 4 days, we still do not have internet or any inclination when my issue will be resolved.
We have no assurance that our issue is being worked. The first-line customer service representatives should receive better training to handle issues such as ours. Hearing conflicting answers from different representatives, receiving broken promises, and being hung-up on is unacceptable from any service providing business. My frustrations are enough for me to search for another service provider.

I am extremely disappointed with my imac's speed. should i upgrade the RAM?

I bought this lovely machine so that when i come back home, i can push aside my 12" toshiba work laptop and enjoy working on my music and photos and internet browsing on the imac.
the music (ipod +itunes) and browsing works great, but as soon as i get onto iphoto (v5.0.4), it just takes years to get anything done and sometimes it just closes down on me. i have times that colourful round ball rotaing at times for over 40 minutes! i have just 8,000 photos and i just cannot use iphoto at all. also, i'm not all that savvy (or inclined) to try and figure out other softwares - i just assumed that apple's own software and hardware would combine really well in an application that it is really well known for (digital imaging).
so do you reckon it's a hardware issue (RAM or something like that) or that iphoto isn't upto the task? i would use another software for organising the photos if necessary, but i do quite like the way in which iphoto does the organising - when it works.
hope someone out there has some ideas for me!
cheers

Thank you all for the replies! I'm going to work through what each of you have suggested and see how much it helps. The 40 minutes of processing time is not an exaggeration. In fact, it sometimes takes longer than that - but I think it's hanging - so i've forcibly shut down the application.
Al - cheers for your immediate tips - they have certainly helped. I disallowed other shared libraries, dropped the shadow and reduced the photo size to approximately a small thumbnail and the speed has most certainly improved! it still takes a few minutes every now and then, but it's decidedly better.
Dan - I'll try Onyx (first i'll figure out what it is!) to clean things up, i imagine.
Jerry, thanks for the tip on iphoto buddy. i'll certainly try it when i have the time. it'll also help me keep the photos i don't want everyone to see aside, i imagine!
And Rod - these are all jpegs from my NikonD70, i haven't started shooting RAW as yet, as i have to figure out how to process those first! I'll probably upgrade the RAM to 2gigs and to ilife'06 in the next week or two. I'll go through the routine that you suggested for checking for directory corruption as well.
Thanks a lot to all of you! i'm sure i'll be back on track very soon!
cheers,
sidlal

Disappointed With My x-fi (Sending it ba

Hi?i recently bought an X-fi Xtreme music after owning my sb li've card for 5 years and?i thought things could only get better as i've always been really happy with my li've card but decided to upgrade my card as i want to use it on vista in the future. After i got the card i installed it and its drivers, and have been extremely disappointed with the sound of my music some tracks have loud ping noises and others just?hiss where as they never use to before. I have tried many settings of the coming days and i still just dont like the sound. Overal i found that my li've card let me do more with the reverb escpecialy a setting called parametric eq which is my opinion sounds better then the lame 24-bit crystalizer which just makes the sound louder. All i can say is that i think the x-fi card is a bit lame and i shall be returning to my wonderful sb li've card and not even bother to upgrade. i am extremly disappointed in this product creative as it is just a patch of a card on your older products. if any else has had a similar experience to me can you plz post
ps.
i am using this card on windows xp pro

MacBook Pro + Time Machine Restore: Extremely disappointed!

I will keep this very brief, but I am extremely disappointed with Time Machine right now.
Don't get me wrong, it works great for when you just need a file or two that you accidentally deleted yesterday, but when you need to restore your whole system from it, FORGET IT. You might as well START OVER.
So long story short, an app called HamachiX was giving me some issues, so I deiced to reinstall it. When I did that, it created a duplicate entry of my MacBook on the network. So I needed to revert back to before I uninstalled it, somehow deactivate the computer, THEN uninstall it, and then reinstall it. - I had this same issue on a PC and that was the ONLY way to fix it. BTW - everyone STAY AWAY FROM HAMACHI, or in fact ANYTHING LogMeIn makes.....there Mac support is pathetic, and there support is even worse.
ANYWAYS, So I thought ok, its 5pm. an hour ago at 4pm, TimeMachine did its thing before I got myself into this mess, so I'll just boot from my Snow Leopard Disk, restore from my TimeMachine backup and now i'll be back to how it was just an hour ago becre I started any of this.
So I proceed to do the restore. 4 hours later, it finishes. Ridiculous. I boot up and the first thing I notice....lag. Everything is SLOW. And, then I start noticing problems. For example, my desktop icons have been randomly sorted all over the place and are not in the layout I had. I then open some finder windows to find that all of the custom "view" settings have been reset. Everything is in list view. I have to switch every window I open back to icon view, and even then they are sorted by name instead of date or something like that.
I thought, no big deal I can fool with that later. So then I start opening apps only to find that some aren't working. I'm getting "invalid license" messages, etc.
What has gone wrong????
At this point everything is so "messed" up that I don't know what to do. Restore to my backup - no wait, THATS WHAT GOT ME IN THIS MESS! Do a fresh install of OSX - I'd love to, but its going to take sooooo long to reinstall and CONFIGURE my apps. Even things like Firefox. Getting all my addons set the way I had them, getting my bookmarks the way I had them, etc.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!
Someone please offer some ideas or explanations about this situation.
Thanks,
Scott

Well, not solved, but I know I will never be using TimeMachine to do a full system restore.
I will only be using it to pull single files from within OSX.

Very disappointed with photo book quality

I created and ordered a photo book using Aperture and am extremely disappointed with the quality. The opening page has a spot of red ink on it with vertical red banding through the center of the image. Many other pages also have the banding.
Most of the images are also very grainy. I know the source images are not at fault, they are very smooth and look nice on my monitor and when I print them. In fact I ordered a few prints through Aperture and they came out really nice. The grain pattern is the same for both full page prints and those that are sized down to about 2x3.
On top of that, the paper quality seems worse than previous books I have created using iPhoto. I was always happy with those books, and I assumed Aperture would be the same if not better.
The books I created with iPhoto were with jpeg images from the same camera, a rebel xt. The only difference this time was most of the images were shot as raw. There was also a small handful jpegs shot with a point and shoot and these have the same grainy pattern as the the raw images.
I sent an email to Apple support, but are others still having book quality issues with the latest version of Aperture 2? This is unacceptable, especially for the amount that is charged. Would it have been better if I exported the images as jpegs, imported them into iPhoto and created the book there?

Hi guys,
I got a real trouble with aperture book printing.
The cover is Ugly it looks like it's scratched over some miles. It's Mate. And it looks printed with a poor inkjet printer.
Inside the book the photos looks almost correct but in the skies we can see some vertical line. I'm fully unsatisfied I got better result with iphoto books !
Please Apple do something. I ordered this book from France. Ans I saw on different forums that they can get better quality than this outside France.
The paper looks very light.
I'm considering ordering books from blurb. And I feel sorry cause aperture tool to create a book is awsome.
Did any french photograph experienced this ?
Regards every one.
Bye.
PS : I printed the pdf and checked at 100% the photos looks great.

Extremely frustrated and disappointed with my first Lenovo Ordering experience

I have been trying to place an order on Lenovos website for 1 month now and my order has been cancelled 4 times. The last order number being 4243470440.
To give a background of the situation, I am trying to order a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro on behalf of my friend who does not have access to a US credit card yet.
The first time it was cancelled because the ship to address was a freight forwarding address. I did not know that Lenovo will not ship to one of those addresses.
SO I redo the entire order based on what the customer care person asks me to do and then it gets rejected again. So i call the helpline again and after the long wait I am told that the ship to address is different from the billing address. I need to call my credit card company to let them know this.
So I do the needful and place a third order after calling my credit card company first. This time it gets cancelled because apparently, Lenovos system now links my credit card with the freight forwarding address and has blacklisted it for life. So basically I can never order a lenovo product using that credit card again. Hence, I am advised by Pablo, an extremely rude credit card service agent to reorder using a different card.
I do the needful for the 4th time with a different credit card and to my surprise it is cancelled again. After another long hold and call, I am informed that I as a person am working for the freight forwarding company! (Who the [ Moderator Edited per forum rules.] are they to determine who i work for. I am ordering a computer not asking for keys to the US treasury). So I am blacklisted and the only way I can order a lenovo product is if I wire the money to them before hand. This is [ Moderator Edited per forum rules.]
I am a normal guy trying to order a computer for my friend and have been put through so much humiliation and torture. I am extremely disappointed at Lenovo and dont think I ever want to buy anything from this company ever.

Hi brajeshdamani,
I do not work for Lenovo. This is a peer-to-peer forum, provided by Lenovo so that members may share their experiences and help each other.
Perhaps Lenovo may be using a third party company to verify credit card purchases. In most cases these companies determine if a customer's credit card is good and if the customer has sufficient credit to make the purchase. If an item is going to be shipped to someone outside the US, this would make ordering even more difficult. Recently in the US we have seen articles in the news about stolen credit card information. The verification companies are aware of this; thus the problems customers are experiencing. You are not alone. It is really a shame that honest people have to deal with inconveniences because of criminal activity.
I don't have any suggestions for you to resolve your problem, except that perhaps you persist in contacting Lenovo to explain the situation.

Very disappointed with my Mac so far

I just took receipt of my first ever Mac yesterday after being convinced by several friends as to how cool Macs are and particularly impressed by promises that "Macs just work" (as opposed to PCs, which just give you lots of bother). After reading the (very short) manuals that came with it cover to cover, I started up and tried to use the thing. My experience was that a Mac is every bit as cantankerous as any PC.
First off, it didn't correctly understand my keyboard. I'm using a bog standard UK 105 key PC keyboard (which Apple claim will work on a Mac), but it did exactly the same as many PCs - it thought that the @ key was a " and vice versa. On a PC I would fix this by going to Regional Settings and changing the keyboard locale to UK, but on the Mac I had already done this! Furthermore, that keyboard viewer app doesn't show the shifted key values (not that it would have helped if it had - it would only have confirmed that the Mac is confused).
Next, I couldn't get my ADSL modem to work. It's a BT Voyager 105 modem - one of the most common such modems in use in the UK, and at the end of the installation process the Mac was of the opinion that it wasn't attached. I will concede, however, that this could be because the driver on the modem's drivers disk was only labelled as being for up to OSX 10.3, whereas I'm using Tiger, so I've downloaded the latest and will try that tonight when I get home.
Then there's the bug in the online help, and I have a feeling I saw this one many years ago when I first tried playing with a Mac. If you fire up Mac help and start navigating though it, you will encounter a few pages that immediately go into an infinite refresh loop, which means that the page flickers in a very nasty way and you can't scroll it. Also some of the links don't actually go anywhere.
The online help and documentation is poor anyway - couldn't find the list of standard keyboard shortcuts anywhere (did find a list of specifically configured shortcuts in the Preferences | Keyboards setcion, but that's not what I'm after here). For example, it was only by experimentation that I discovered that the way to jump between applications is Command-Tab. I never did discover how to launch something from the Finder via the keyboard. In Windows I would just select it and hit Return or Enter, but that did nothing in Tiger.
Also, why doesn't the maximise button work on all applications? I came across one during my exploits (can't remember which now) which when I clicked the maximise button did enlarge the window, but not so as to fill the desktop - instead I had to manually resize it.
So, all in all I am not impressed. The graphics are fancy (but how they compare with Vista when it releases remains to be seen - of course the Mac does manage it with a lot less horsepower than Vista needs, and that is to be commended), but that's just appearance - I'll happily take a green screen dumb terminal if it gets the job done quickly and well. If I don't start enjoying using this machine and quick it's going straight back to Apple for a refund.

Well, it's been four days now with my new machine and I'm pushing through the learning curve reasonably. Thanks to all those who have contributed to this thread. The keyboard thing is indeed because Apple's UK keyboard layout is not in line with UK PC keyboards. Since Apple tout the mini as BYODKM and clearly want switchers, the failure to provide keyboard mappings/resource files for PC keyboards from the world's various locales is a disappointing omission. I now know to use DeRez and Rez to configure my own keyboard mapping, but of course there was nothing in the help to tell me that. Indeed I never found anything telling me that the software development stuff needed to be explicitly installed by me - a fiend had to tell me this.
I've been playing with the iLife suite a bit, and was initially impressed but then less so. I made my first ever DVD (with videos and slideshows - not a DVD-ROM) using iDVD. Boy was that an experience - it was just so easy and the results looked so good, at first. Amazing menu buttons that contained clips of the bits of video that they themselves linked to, backing track, beautifully done templates - absolutely marvellous. Until I came to actually use the DVD in a DVD player. The iPhoto slideshow (now that was impressive - Ken Burns effect, 3 seconds per picture, fade to the next, backing track) that I had exported to iDVD had lost a lot of quality in the export (I did have the option to select a quality level and I had picked DVD or whatever seemed appropriate at the time). One of the menu buttons didn't actually link to its video clip, but just lost focus and the navigation buttons would not regain focus - the only way to get control was to back to the top menu and start again. While watching one of my video clips it suddenly jumped into another one for a few seconds, then back to the original, then away to the second, and so on.
The Mac still doesn't recognise that my modem isn't plugged in and I've accepted that it isn't going to. The bug in the help system is reproducible, although when I found it again I phoned up a friend who has a Mac and asked him to go to the same page, but his worked fine. This might be a difference between 10.4.5 and his 10.4.7 - I'd upgrade but I can't because I have no modem connection.
My conclusions so far:
a) The physical machine is gorgeous, but one can build PCs along the same lines
b) OSX is reputedly (and I have no reason to doubt this) incredibly stable, being Unix based
c) The rest is extremely pretty window dressing hiding disappointing functionality
d) The documentation is so crap that I get a sense of arrogance - it's almost as though Apple actually believe their products are so intuitive that no one could possibly need any additional help.
e) The people who suggested that I'm just too set in my ways to be bothered learning a new way of doing things are correct to an extent. If I had evidence that I would be getting something significant in return for expending this effort, I would be prepared to soldier on, but that isn't happening. I am coming more and more to the conclusion that I am going to send this back and get a silent mini-itx or nano-itx PC instead.
Sorry folks - one falls by the wayside.

New Fios Customer and Extremely Disappointed

Hello,
I just signed on to Verizon Fios because I've heard great things, however I've been extremely disappointed in what I've experienced so far.
My set up for installation was Sat 1/4 between 9am-12pm. The installer showed up late, at 12:10pm. It then took him until 3:45pm to complete the installation- over 3.5 hours! I have no idea why it took so long for him to come in, set me up with a dvr box and internet. I was previously with Optimum and they were in and out with installation in 30 minutes AND they arrived within their window. My entire morning and afternoon was gone because I had to wait around all morning because I thought he would show up before noon, and then I'm not really sure why it took him ALL afternoon to set up.
On Sun 1/5 as I was watching tv the screen went black. It was on mute and all of a sudden it just shut off. So I then spent over 2 hours on the phone first with an automated lady and then two different techs trying to fix the issue, which they concluded that I need a new set top box. The earliest time they could give me is Wed 1/8 between 8am-8pm.
This service window of 12 hours is absolutely beyond ridiculous!! I have never heard of a 12 hour window before for anything! Whenever I had an issue with Optimum, they were there the next day before 10am.
I cannot take an entire day off from work to sit around my apartment waiting for a guy who will probably show up at 8:10pm. (And I do not have family or friends nearby who can take the day to sit in my apartment for me in case the guy shows up between 8a-8p) And it's crazy that I was just set up with cable/internet on late afternnon Sat, and within 24 hours cable's not working- and now I have to wait 3 days before anyone can come fix this??
I need my service window to be Wed 1/8 between 6:30pm - 8pm. I'm ready to leave and go back to Optimum.
Thank you.

I know what you mean. I am also a new fios customer after newly 8 years with optimum. I am beyond disappointed and quite furious! The tech guys that installed my fios on 1/4/14 took 4+ hours and admitted that they are not familiar with fios all that well even though they have been working with Verizon for years. The picture quality is sub-par to optimum, I don't know if something went wrong with the installation, but I am left with extremely blurry SD channels and slightly pixelated HD channels. If you can called that HD! I have had Tech support come over and they gave me all the excuses on under the sun and even insinuated that I am seeing things. Its really frustrating that I haven't been able to find a tech that is knowledgeable enough to fix this issue.
Alas a customer service rep told me to give them another chance and that he will send an experience tech to my house on Monday 1/13/14 between 9-12am. If this tech person give me any excuse short from actually checking the splitter outside my door or switching the wires, I am going back to optimum! Fios has been a complete nightmare to say the least and I hope both our issues get fix soon.

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

>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*:

Big Disappointment with iMac Intel (Late 2006) and Apple ProCare.

I've been a Mac user, Mac enthusiast, and Mac advocate for over 15 years. I've owned multiple Macs. One of my latest acquisitions was an Intel iMac in October 2006.
A few weeks ago, the iMac started freezing and shutting down intermittently. After days of online discussions trying to figure out the problem, I finally ran out of patience, and took the iMac to my local Apple Store on 7/23/07.
Two days later, I was told that the Logic Board needed to be replaced. It's been two weeks, and every time I contact the Apple Store, I am told that they are still waiting for the part.
Meanwhile I am left without the main computer in my house, where I store all my documents, music, photos and videos. In addition, I have a ProCare membership, and even purchased the Extended 3-year warranty. In this age of instant communication and express delivery, I cannot understand why it would take two weeks to get a part from Apple.
I am very disappointed with the Apple Care for a company with such a high reputation for service.
What are my rights as a consumer? How long do I have to wait before they offer me a replacement. How do I go about requesting a replacement?

"The question still remains: How long am I going to be in repair mode before the Apple store decides to offer a replacement?"
Hello Herold Merisier!
The answer is that since each case may be different, there is no real set policy in this regard, with decision making and customer satisfaction in the hands of managers.
I'm surprised to hear that there is any difficulty at all getting that logic board. I just don't believe that there is any shortage, and it does not take two weeks to get one there, unless no one cares about you, which would be an unacceptable attitude. There must be something else at play in this situation.
I would guess that due to an inability to handle the work in-Store, the repair of your iMac has been handed over to an AASP, either to be performed at the AASP or somewhere on the Store premises.
Due to the disruption of the iPhone events, the repair of your iMac might have dropped off the radar screen of the Apple Store's Manager, and also of the Manager of the AASP. The problem may be an overworked AASP (not your fault), with some lower level employee there trying to pass the buck back to the Store through their lower level employees, and then on to you.
If such is the case, the job of Managers and Assistant Managers is to be aware of such things and manage them, therefore your circumstance is extremely disappointing. The first thing to do is not to try and lay blame, but make certain that the Store Manager is personally aware of your situation, and (unless you know it's already been done) to ask that all your paperwork details be verified - that your warranty and AppleCare are actually registered and in effect for your iMac, that your ProCare is recognized as being on the record, and that your iMac's repair is not accidentally misplaced, but will now be given Priority. In doing that, someone might discover the cause of your delay.
I would guess that the Manager of your Apple Store is also not aware of your exact situation, as it almost sounds as if the Manager is on vacation, or something very much worse:(
Considering the iMac product line and the age and needs of your iMac, the cost to Apple and the Manager of the Apple Store to fully satisfy you in this case will be absolutely negligible. If it's possible for you to speak to the Store Manager today or tomorrow, I'd be surprised if your iMac, or a replacement, isn't in your hands by Wednesday at the latest.
If you are unable to speak to the actual Store Manager, and if the Assistant Manager to whom you then speak is unable or unwilling to resolve this for you within 24 hours, you should call AppleCare's toll free number and ask to speak to an AppleCare Manager about your lack of service problem and what the bottleneck might possibly be.
