Fix or Upgrade

Like others, I have a battery problem on my mini iPod with the battery lasting 1 hour if lucky. I've reset, restored to no avail.
I bought my iPod at CC with their warranty. They will give me a gift card for the full amount of the iPod mini so that I can purchase something else. They don't repair and as you know, minis are no longer available
Apple said they will honor the warranty from Circuit City and will repair the ipod/replace it with another mini.
I use my iPod mini mainly for working out. The Nano is just too small. I will break it carrying it around in my gym bag.
The 30 GB Photo is really nice and weighs less than the mini but is longer.
Opinions Wanted -- given I use it mainly for working out -- would you let Apple fix my mini or upgrade to the 30 GB. I'm trying to make an informed decision. I would still have to spend 50.00 more for the 30 GB plus a warranty.

before you waste your time sending it in and hassling
with a new one. Try this: Try fully charging and
draining a bunch of times. Fully charge and leave on
with sound full blast to drain quicker. I had the
same problem with 2. I sent one in for battery and
when I got the second one it did the same thing.
Also...Sometimes battery lasts longer then the last
Bar on your Ipod.
Actually, according to the meter, it is drained. I get that no more battery message constantly. If I shut it off for 15 minutes, sometimes I can get it to play again for 5 -20 minutes with what looks like a drained battery.
I have the latest firmware and have reset and restored the iPod. It said it had no more battery while I was trying to restore and ejected itself. Then I tried to charge it with the regular charger and it said it was charged. I've been fighting with this thing for some time now. I can't work out right without my iPod so something really has to be done.
Minimally, Apple will test the battery I guess.

  • Since installing Lion, I have not been able to utilize Time Machine (does not recognize the back-up drive); my wireless mouse does not function properly; I have experienced unreasonable delays in the system.  Is there a fix or upgrade coming?

    Is there a fix or upgrade to deal with the many problems I am experiencing since I installed Lion?  I can no longer utilize Time Machine (Does not see the back-up drive); my wireless mouse does not work properly; my iMac has slowed down considerably.  I am reminded of having a PC machine again.  Bummer!

    Either downgrade to Snow Leopard or try reinstalling Lion.
    Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • BW Upgrade - Urgent fix while upgrade

    Hi,
    We are in the pre-upgrade stage for B3.5-->BI7.3 upgrade.
    We have copied current development box (BWD) .This  copy instance box is called BWC.
    BWC transport path is connected to the quality (BWQ) and production(BWP).
    BWD will be upgraded to BI7.3.
    Can i know for urgent fixes , we will be using BWC, transport to BWQ and BWP.
    Do we need to manually perform the fix again on BWD and transport it to production once the upgrade is fully completed?
    Regards
    Maili

    Hi,
    I don't agree with your procedure:
    - why you want to upgrade bwd? and connected BWC with BWP? Why so difficult?
    - don't copy bwd. Do you have there all data, queries, process chains? Use a copy from BWP for testing.
    I want do this:
    - test the upgrade on BWC. Open the sytem: test also the development functions.
    - when it is ok, do the upgrade on BWD, bwq and bwp. And delete the system BWC - its only a sandbox/testsystem.
    - so, you dont need to transport objects to different "development" systems.
    - the upgrade is done on an weekend. So, you dont have urgent fix while upgrade.

  • What would you do? Fix or upgrade?

    The logic board on my August 2008 MBP just gave up the ghost. Apple says they'll fix it (and everything else that might be broken) for $310 and provide a 90 day warranty. Here is what I'm trying to decide. Over the three years of applecare I've had the following fixed on my MBP:
    New screen about 7 months ago
    New hard drive about a year ago
    New top case/keyboard about 1.5 years ago.
    Current specs:
    15" glossy, 2.4Ghz, 4GB Ram, 250GB HDD
    I was happy with my system and don't need to upgrade to a whole new one, but the (very helpful) guy at the genius bar said I could buy a used MBP and put my hard drive in it and sell my current one for parts. If I could buy something for about $700 and sell mine for parts for about $300 I'm only out $400, similar to the repair cost, but a newer system.
    The problem is that all the systems I'm looking at (MBP and MB) in that $700 price range have really similar specs to my current system. I can get a 13" 2009 Unibody MBP but the only real gain (that I can see) is faster BUS speed, bigger ram capacity and updated style.
    So one thought is that if I do the repair then in a sense I've got a "new system" since so much has been replaced. I'm just not familiar enough with all the specs about generations that came out after mine to know what the smart move is.
    Any advice appreciated!
    Thanks
    Justin

    From a major and popular computing device manufacturer's (who shall remain nameless) perspective (I've been in their stores several times so I know how they think) your machine is starting to fall off the charts.  Anything older than 2 years is going downhill; 4 years is mulling over retirement, 6 years is geriatric and you may be lucky to find somebody in the store who has seen a computer that age except maybe when they were 15 years old.
    From my perspective (typing this on my 10 year old G4 with OSX 10.4) I think you have a spring chicken and if I had it I would see getting another 5 years out of it.
    A lot of this depends upon your take on computers and what your needs are.  Some have to stay (by desire or true need) on the leading edge and wouldn't dream of keeping anything more than 3 years.  Me, I have never owned a computer any younger than 3 years!
    One way to look at this is what is your financial and comfort limit with computers?  In 20 years of owning a Mac I spend an average of $100 a year on hardware (that's including external drives, RAM, printers, the computer itself) + maybe $30 on software.  Yes, that's meant I have lived with a lot of old Macs but I have not felt the need to rush out and get an iPad the minute they came out (I don't even have a cell phone yet).  So, for your $400 do you think you can get another 4 years of contented use with that computer? Do you feel the need to run out and get Mountain Lion the day it comes out? In that case you might need to upgrade RAM too and really think about a more powerful machine.
    This may not have really answered your question but maybe it gives you a way to look at things.

  • Should I fix or upgrade?

    Alright,
    Long story short my screen iPod 5.5gen broke in my backpack by 3 textbooks and an 11 year old. This problem has happened before so I know who can fix it. But i plugged it into iTunes and it said that it wanted it to restore the ipod. and i really don't want to do that. I then also realized that my hold switch is loose and at a flick of the wrist it turns on.
    Is the hardrive crushed and i have lost everything?
    Should i send it to the company to get the screen fixed and hope for the best?

    Hello outofmind95,
    Considering your iPod is a 5.5 generation and they have been out for some time now, and all the hardships your iPod has been through, your iPod's hard drive may not have much time left. When the iPod's screen was smashed, a number of internal components could have been damaged, but it would be hard to tell for sure.
    The ultimate decision is up to you. You could upgrade by purchasing a refurbished iPod from the previous generation from Apple for a reasonable price or search for one on eBay.
    The screen replacement may be the cheaper alternative in this situation, but in time, who knows how long, your entire iPod may need to be replaced. When it comes to getting knocked around or smashed, iPod's cannot really endure too much of it. Personally, I would start investing in a new iPod.
    Hope this helps a bit.

  • [FIXED] after upgrade ACPI can no longer change my screen brightness

    EDIT: never mind, it seems to of gone away now...i have no idea what happened, it stopped working randomly then started working just as randomly.....whatever...
    Just yesterday i was using my laptop with arch linux with the brightness turned all the way down, as of course it saves battery
    but now i turn it on today and the screen is at maximum brightness, and every time i try to change it it just says (in kernel.log) :
    Sep  8 10:28:46 Polygon kernel: ACPI: Failed to switch the brightness
    Sep  8 10:28:46 Polygon kernel: ACPI: Failed to switch the brightness
    so...what got upgraded that broke this? does anyone else have this problem?
    here is the past few days of my pacman.log: (it has some entries for kernel-my, a custom compiled kernel, but i get no screen brightness control on my custom compiled kernel, or the default arch one)

    Do you happen to know what package broke this? I had this issue a couple weeks ago, and just recently it reappeared.

  • Premiere Pro CS3: Many Problems Fixed By Upgrading to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

    I recently installed an SSD drive and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
    Installing the Adobe Master Collection CS3 went smoothly and only took a few minutes instead of an hour, as in the past.
    Premiere, for the first time in the years I've used it, runs STABLE. Not only that, but I can have AfterEffects open at the same time. And Maya 2008. And everything chugs along smoothly.
    Case in point tonight: Multicam Editor: Under XP, it worked, but the quality of the video displays would be badly pixellated when video was playing. Under Windows 7, all the four viewports plus the 'online' viewport are sharp and clear and I can see if a camera is slightly out of focus, which was impossible to detect in the past until I watched the finished result.
    The audio dropouts everyone complained about for years are a thing of the past.
    And here's the biggie: I can render, render, render and keep rendering h.264 files and Premiere keeps ticking. Under XP, 2 to 3 files and that's it. Unknown Error would be the next render result. Under W7-64, I rendered all night and day without shutting or restarting Premiere, and I even had Maya and AE going and was working in them at the same time, something I could never do in XP because it would run out of RAM. And I can do this in 4GB ram! With 8GB, AE renders 3.5X faster, but most other programs remain about the same. I figure in the case of AE, it has EXCLUSIVE use of 4GB ram all to itself on an 8GB system. At any rate, die-hard CS3 users, don't be afraid to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit.
    The only thing you need to do differently is put the Postscript fonts in Adobe's fonts folder, as it won't see the Windows\Fonts-located PS fonts.
    My 2008-vintage editing workstation breaths new life, like a major hardware upgrade was done. The "$139 system performance upgrade" I call it. (Sure, adding the Intel 320 SSD helps, but mainly with launching programs--once they're running, the main improvement comes from Windows 7 64-bit.)

    Actually, Win8 is really not a tablet OS... it is "essentially" Win7 with a different front end http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1101032
    Anything other than a new Win8 "app" runs on the same kind of desktop you see with Win7

  • What correct Service Pack and Fix Patch upgrade path?

    I have installed Xcelsius 2008 Engage. I have version 5.0.0.99  build 12,0,0,121. I am assuming this is the base installation.
    There have been a number of packs and patches released. I need to if I have comprehended.  Is sequence below correct:
    1. Crystal Xcelsius 2008 u2013 Service Pack 1
    2. Xcelsius 2008 SP1 Fix Pack 1
    3. Xcelsius 2008 Service Pack 1 u2013 Fix Pack 2
    4. Xcelsius 2008 Service Pack 1 u2013 Fix Pack 3
    5. Xcelsius 2008 Service Pack 2
    6. Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP2 Fix Pack 2.1
    Other consideration:
    I have heard much discussion about Xcelsius.msi. Is this file in (1) above and does (2) above require it to be available.
    I am using Windows 7.0
    Any other suggestion to avoid a painful process

    Hi,
    I'll answer some of your questions:
    You can just install the base version and then SP2 + FP 2.1. No need to install SP1 and the related fix packs.
    .msi is just an installer file - once you've installed Xcelsius this will not be used anymore.
    I'm not sure that Xcelsius is supported on Windows 7.
    Best regards,
    Jacob

  • ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card not performing well-fix or upgrade?

    In my PPC Dual G5 I have the ATI Radeon 9600 XT. In trying to use Keynote's QuickTime export I encountered severe lag problems. part of this is how Keynote handles the QT export, and part is due to the Radeon (I've been through lots of technical troubleshooting on the Keynote Apple forum on this.) The current recommendation is to use Snapz Pro to do a screencast of the presentation. I ran into out-of-sync issues with this file, and sent a test off to Ambrosia (makes of Snapz Pro). He reported that it was my video card, and that it output fine on a current MB Pro.
    I have checked the ATI/AMD website and called their TS. They consider the G5 installed card to be OEM, and there is no driver update for it. There isn't one on the Apple site either. Is there an easy SW test to see if the Radeon has had some sort of performance degradation issue? The Ambrosia tech said I should be getting better performance with it.
    Any insight to this? If I do have to upgrade the card, what is the best current match for the G5?

  • Fixed asset upgrade

    Hi
    Does anyone have experience in accounting for as asset upgrade (which is a subsequent cost)?
    My client has added this subsequent cost to the orginal asset and is stating that depreciation should be calculated on the Net Book value instead of Original cost + subsequent cost. However I am concerned whether this is the correct way.
    Thanks & regards
    Nadini

    Hi,
    Depreciation calculation will depend on the method of calculation on has opted, say written down value or straight line method.  If your claint is following wdv, then depreciation will be calculated on the net asset value(of original capitalised amount) plus subsequent cost. Otherwise if the depreciation is on the straight line method,  depreciation will be calculated on the gross value of original capitalistion plus subsequent cost. The depreciation key will normally take care the depreciation calculation.
    I hope it will clarify your doubt.
    Regards

  • I've encountered 4HDD/11/40000000 SATA(0,0). AFTER SOME RESEARCH IN APPLE COMMUNITY, I LEARNT THAT IT'S A HARDWARE ISSUE. SO I WILL BE TAKING MY MACBOOK PRO TO NEAREST APPLE STORE. MY QUE IS, WILL IT BE FIXED IF I UPGRADE FROM OSX 10.8.5 TO MAVERICKS?

    I've encountered 4HDD/11/40000000 SATA(0,0). AFTER SOME RESEARCH IN APPLE COMMUNITY, I LEARNT THAT IT'S A HARDWARE ISSUE. SO I WILL BE TAKING MY MACBOOK PRO TO NEAREST APPLE STORE. MY QUE IS, WILL IT BE FIXED IF I UPGRADE FROM OSX 10.8.5 TO MAVERICKS? What other options do I have? What can be an approximate cost for fixing this problem?

    Of course not. It's a hardware problem, so it can't be fixed by upgrading software. The only option you have got is to take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller.
    That error indicates a problem with the hard drive. What you have to do is to make a backup of your files and take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller, so they can confirm that the problem is the hard drive and not the SATA connector, which could be worse.
    If it's a hard drive issue, it's not expensive (about $100-200, depending on the hard drive). If it's a SATA connector issue, the whole logic board may have to be replaced.
    Note that you can replace the hard drive yourself if you want, but the cost between doing it yourself and taking the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller is similar

  • Upgrade Fixed Assets from 10.7 SC to 11i

    I would to gain some knowledge from anyone who has been through a Fixed Assets Upgrade from 10.7 SC to 11i. In particular, I need to understand the steps involved, estimate for the total task, lesson learnt, any technical issues, any relevant training that may be useful and any advice for this task. Thanks in advance.

    We have completed our first upgrade of FA from 10.7 SC to 11i. Most issues arose from the introduction of WorkFlow for Account Generator. In addition we have had difficulty activating the "security by book" new feature. This is still under investigation. We upgraded PO, AP, FA and GL. I can say that more than half of our time has been spent resolving FA issues.
    The length of time the task will take will depend on which functionality you use. Have you seen the upgrade kit on metalink? it has all the upgrade steps. From that you could determine how many steps you need to perform.
    Hope this helps.

  • Production break fix path during BW 7.3 to 7.4 Upgrade and migrate to HANA

    Hi,
    I was browsing through the various threads for the production break fix during Upgrade /Migrate project but was not able to come to a conclusion, hence thought of posting a question to get some fresh ideas.
    Suppose, the landscape is Dev - Q - Prod, and if we want to use SUM DMO for Upgrade & migrate, in this case what is BEST possible production break fix path.
    Say BD1 existing Dev box, then Do we need to create copy of BD1 to BD2 --> Upgrade/Migrate BD2 and similarly copy BQ1 (for Q system) to BQ2 and Upgrade/Migrate BQ2. Finally, Production BP1 Upgrade/Migrate. So at the end of it, the production path would be BD2-BQ2-BP1.
         Now, in this case how do we manage source system connection? Say we have ED1 as source ECC connected to BD1, are we going to connect the same ECC to BD2 as well after system copy? Will the system allow creating the connection with the same ECC to the copied BW (BD2) system?
    Is there any other option than PCA method?
    Any help understanding the production break fix would be much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Sohil Shah.

    Hi,
    > 4. Our BW system have a lot of data, dose it will impact the tecn upgrade time? Data volumn will impace system tech upgrade time or not? We need to estimate system down time for tech upgrade.
    Database size does not have impact on upgrade runtime.
    > 5. For BW 7.3 authorization, It is total difference with Bw 3.5. After Technical upgrade, what do we need to change for authorization? Do you have any document for me to reference ?
    >
    You need to run SU24 after the upgrade, there you will get list of all objects effected because of upgrade. Since there are lot of changes from authorization side then you have the option either to change only effected objects or do security upgrade project where you can revamp all roles and authorizations.
    Thanks

  • Upgrade IDSM2 from 4.1(5)S225 to 5,1 using application partition

    can i upgrade an IDSM2 (WS-SVC-IDSM2-BUN)in a 6513 from 4.1(5)S225 to 5.1 by copying the 5.1 application partition to the sensor
    [from the cisco userguide]
    Chapter 10 Configuring the Sensor Using the CLI
    Reimaging Appliances and Modules
    Reimaging the IDSM-2
    This section contains the following topics:
    • Catalyst Software, page 10-124
    • Cisco IOS Software, page 10-126
    Catalyst Software
    To reimage the application partition, follow these steps:
    Step 1 Obtain the application partition file from Software Center on Cisco.com and copy
    it to an FTP server.
    Step 2 Log in to the switch CLI.
    Step 3 Boot the IDSM-2 to the maintenance partition:
    cat6k> (enable) reset module_number cf:1
    Step 4 Log in to the maintenance partition CLI:
    login: guest
    Password: cisco
    Step 5 Reimage the application partition:
    [email protected]# upgrade ftp://user@ftp server IP/directory
    path/image file
    Step 6 Specify the FTP server password.
    After the application partition file has been downloaded, you are asked if you
    want to proceed:
    Upgrading will wipe out the contents on the hard disk. Do you want to
    proceed installing it [y|n]:
    Step 7 Type y to continue.
    When the application partition file has been installed, you are returned to the
    maintenance partition CLI.
    Step 8 Exit the maintenance partition CLI and return to the switch CLI.
    Step 9 Reboot the IDSM-2 to the application partition:
    cat6k> (enable) reset module_number hdd:1
    Step 10 When the IDSM-2 has rebooted, check the software version.
    Step 11 Log in to the application partition CLI and initialize the IDSM-2.
    See Initializing the Sensor, page 10-2, for the procedure.
    IF NOT, THEN IS THERE A SHORT CUT FROM 4.1 to 5.1 ?

    Just wanted to clarify some things.
    As Scott has already confirmed you can re-image using the method described and following Scott's advice on what additional updates to install.
    BUT understand that any configuration you have your 4.1 sensor will be lost during that method of re-imaging to 5.1.
    Another alternative is to first upgrade from 4.1(5)S225 to 5.0(1), and then to upgrade to 5.1(1).
    The upgrade to 5.0(1) will convert the 4.1 configuration into a compatible 5.0 format.
    I saw another post you made implying that you had to downgrade back to 4.1(5)S189 to do the 5.0(1) upgrade. This is not the case. You can upgrade directly from your current 4.1(5)S225 to 5.0(1).
    You can install the IPS-K9-maj-5.0-1-S149.rpm.pkg file directly on your current 4.1(5)S225 sensor.
    When S225 was installed on your 4.1(5) sensor, it also placed in storage the corresponding S225 update for your 5.0 sensor.
    So when IPS-K9-maj-5.0-1-S149.rpm.pkg is installed on the sensor it will detect that stored off S225 for 5.0 and install it at the same time.
    So once installed you will be immediately at 5.0(1)S225.
    Once at 5.0(1)S225, then you can upgrade directly to 5.1(1) using the IPS-K9-min-5.1-1d.pkg upgrade.
    (NOTE: 5.1-1d file was created to fix some upgrade bugs, but still installs the same 5.1(1) files as the original 5.1(1) upgrade package).
    So you will wind up at 5.1(1)S225.
    Now at this point I would recommend installing at least one later signature update (S226 or higher in your case) BEFORE installing the 5.1(1p1) patch.
    And AFTER the signature update, then install the 5.1(1p1) Engineering Patch (contact the TAC for this patch).
    Because of this specific upgrade path, the best way to avoid some issues is to install at least one signature update before installing the 5.1(1p1) patch. The signature update helps to ensure the sensor is ready for the 5.1(1p1) upgrade. Some of the files needed for the 5.1(1p1) upgrade have been seen to not get carried forward properly in the upgrade from 5.0(1) to 5.1(1), but a signature update corrects those issues.
    NOTE: This precaution of installing the signature update BEFORE the 5.1(1p1) is only needed when upgrading from 5.0(1) to 5.1(1). If imaging directly to 5.1(1) using the maintenance partition, then the 5.1(1p1) can be installed before a signature update without an issue.
    Once 5.1(1p1) is up and running and monitoring packets and generating alarms, then additional signature updates can be installed afterwards.
