Foreign Object stuck to the inside glass of my new 24" iMac

Hi -
I received my new 24" iMac today - and to my bitter disappointment when I turned it on, there's a 4mm black object (looks like a piece of black foam/sponge) stuck on the inside glass of my display. I can see the display behind it, which is absolutely fine, no dead pixels. It's stuck itself in the middle of the screen, approx 2 inches down from the isight camera!
It seems to be something lightweight/affixed by static electricity as it moves slightly when i rub the glass gently with the supplied polishing cloth over it -
What do i do??!!
Most service centres here in Melbourne (Australia) have a minimum 1 week turn around to even look at it!
Very disappointed

Hey Tim,
Thanks for the info - It was purchased through the Apple Online Store.
After I spoke with you, someone from Apple called back to say that they were going to replace it - I'd taken photos of the issue and emailed them through originally.
- it's going to take a couple of weeks to get the new machine as apparently they're all shipping from Asia (Had a very impatient wait with the apple & TNT parcel tracker widget!) - and I also got a 500gb hdd put in as well, but they're happy for me to use this one until the new one arrives which is great, then there's apparently going to be a couple of days between them picking the old machine up and delivering the new one.
Everyone at Apple has been so helpful and responsive though, I've been really impressed with the service.

Dark stripes on the inside glass of the screen of 27" iMac

On my new 27" screen there are stripes on the inside of the glass.
It is on the right site of the screen. The right top and like a quarter of the screen.
It is like when you clean your windows and you get stripes when the windows dry up. It's not visible when you set a black background or there is black color in the corner. But the lighter the color becomes the better it is visible. Does anybody else have this problem?

A foreign object is stuck in my drive slot

I was blowing dust from my slot-loading drive using compressed air - you know, a small metal canister attached to a red plastic nib. Well, the nib blew into the drive opening. Now, obviously, the drive won't work, and I don't exactly know that to do.
I'd like to find a way to eject the foreign object so my drive works again, but I don't how, or what the cost would be. Or would be be better to call in a loss and purchase a new external superdrive?
Does anyone know what I can do to retrieve the foreign object at home? Or this strictly the domain of the repair shop/Apple Store? What, roughly, would the price be, in either case?
Please be detailed! Thanks,

Paul_31:
Interesting idea. It seems that gravity would bring the object to the bottom of the drive opening; all you have to do is get anything with a little "grab" to draw the object out. However, it seems the object is lodged near the middle - and may be stuck. I tried to push the object down, but it's definitely stuck.

I don't know how to take apart an iMac - but the uTube videos suggest that it's not simple. I believe that a trip to the Genius Bar is the only viable option.

To get all the objects that are used inside the class

Hi All,
All i wanna know is to get all the objects that are used inside the class.
Ex :
Class A{
Emp e;
public add(Dept d){
e.deptid = d.deptId;
in this class i have two objects, one Emp obj and another Dept object.
I wanna get the details abt this class Emp and Dept by simply parsing the file and by not loading this class in JVM.
Could any pls hel me out.??
thx.

I wanna get the details abt this class Emp and Dept
by simply parsing the file and by not loading this
class in JVM.Your problem statement is vague and the constraint is IMO hypothetical.

The security level for your inside interface should be 100 ie.
interface Vlan1
nameif inside
security-level 100
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
After changing that can you
1) ping the outside interface of the ASA from the pc or ping the PC from the ASA
2) I'm assuming you are trying to connect to 10.1.1.3 when you attempt the connection ?

Two remote objects calls on the same php class

Hi to all,
I've encountered a strange issue while developing with remote objects.
I've a mxml component with an init() method inside which is called by a menu.
When the init() method is called it makes 7 remote object calls which are bound to some components' dataprovider.
Among this calls I've got 2 remote object which refer to the same remote class. This because I have to call the class twice and the bind the result to two different combobox. Below you find the code:
<mx:RemoteObject id="myFile" source="myRemoteClass" destination="amfphp" showBusyCursor="true" makeObjectsBindable="true" fault="traceFault(event)"/>
<mx:RemoteObject id="myXls" source="myRemoteClass" destination="amfphp" showBusyCursor="true" makeObjectsBindable="true" fault="traceFault(event)"/>
in the init function I make this calls:
myFile.listDir("dir_1")
myXls.listDir("dir_2")
then in the mxml code I bound the result of myFile to combobox1 and the result of myXls on combobox2.
The problem arise when I call the myXls' listDir method. When I call it I receive the following error:
code:
Client.Error.DeliveryInDoubt
Message:
Channel disconnected
Detail:
Channel disconnected before an acknowledgement was received
The strange thing is that not only the myXls object returns this error, but also all the other 6 remote object return the same error above.
I'm not sure, but I guess that the error could be caused by the two remote object which call the same php remote class. If I comment one of the two calls everything works fine.
Do you have any suggestion about?
Thanks!!
Bye

Hi Jan.
1) We have the 2 VO, each with 3 rows to fill in data. What I mean is that when i just fill in all the fields for the first row of the first VO, and the value of one of these fields is bigger than 50, then after the exception is thrown and the message is displayed, the fields for the first VO are duplicated and shown in the second VO as if the user had inserted them.
2) We tried yesterday the validateEntity and a Method and Atributte Validator approaches after reading that white paper with the same results.
The validation is correctly done using any of the those methods.
I will try to reproduce this issue with the HR schema.
Thanks in advance once again.

Is there a way to open a smart object, but get the original instead of a temp file?

Working with large amounts of images and PSD files.
1. We create a smart object from say, a .jpg file on a layer, then filter, etc.
2. Double clicking the smart object creates a new window with that object as a .psB file.
3. When the file is saved and closed, the .psB file is deleted.
This is how smart objects work, we know.
What we need to do is:
1. We create a smart object from say, a .jpg file on a layer, then filter, etc.
2. Double clicking the smart object will open the ORIGINAL .jpg file
3. When the file is saved, the original .jpg file is saved in its altered form, and is reflected in the .psd file
We realize that Smart objects were created for reasons, of which we are aware.
Yet, we have several designers who use the same .jpg's but want the original to be changed so that the next developer has that changed .jpg.
Trie thus far:
ScriptListener cannot be used to tie it to a double click event on a smart object, because when the smart object is created it is already a copy of the original.
Creating a variable to call the original does not 'appear' to work, because it is accessing the .psB file instead of the original .psD file.
I think with early versions of PS there was a way to insert an image like a .jpg into a layer, and the link to that .jpg was retained. Thus, when you double click on that layer, the original .jpg is brought up to be edited, the .jpg file is now altered, and is reflected in the .psd file after finishing.

No, not too late.
InDesign is for layout for press in this case.
Photoshop is for design, which is using the .jpg's.
I'm half way there, but stuck at:
Getting a file location reference when the .jpg is first brought into PS as a layer.
Getting a script to write the location of the file into the medata for the PSD in some field
Reading back the metadata file location for the .jpg and bringing it back into the PSD again.
Any help would really be appreciated.
I can make the completed script(s) available when its complete, as this has possibilities for other uses, batch process, and more.

Disc 2 damaged - I'm stuck in the middle of a installation process HELP!

Hi, folks.
I sold my iBook last thursday and I was preparing it for delivery. So, I started a Erase & Install of Tiger with the DVDs I received from Apple in order to give it to the new owner with a brand new system and none of my files. The problem is that after disc 1 had been popped out by the system and I inserted DVD 2, I found out it's damaged. iBook won't read it at all.
I tried several things such as copying the DVD in other computers but neither my MacBook nor my wife's PC can even read it. When it's about 20% read, a error messages shows up and process stops.
So, to make long things short, my iBook is stuck in the "Please, insert Disc labeled Mac OS X Installation DVD 2".
Is there a way I could force the system to skip this disc and log into Mac OS X even though I woudn't have the additional software installed? My priority now is to see the computer working.
Thanks in advance.

I would call AppleCare and get a replacement disk, and just wait for it to come. Keep the machine where it won't overheat on a surface made of metal or stone glass, or plastic, and keep it plugged in.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How can I get rid of a "speck" on the inside of my iMac's display? please help me. T_T

I have a Mid 2011 21.5 baseline iMac which I bought in March 2012. I noticed it just a couple of days ago, there's a tiny grey "speck" in the middle of my screen. I initially thought it was a speck of dust, which I tried to clean off with a microfiber cloth. Well, it didn't come off. I realized that it was on the inside portion of the glass cover. It's is neglegible when the the screen has a dark image but becomes visible when I use a white background like when I use Pages. There are also severaly tiny grey bubles at the bottom black portion of the glass cover. Ther's also a tiny "crack" like something on the top right area (or maybe just a speck of dust, I'm getting a bit paranoid). I'm kinda OCD about my iMac and this is driving me crazy. Any help would be appreciated.

It's under warranty, take it in.

Dust marks on the 'inside' of display

I have had my 24" iMac for just under a year. 3 months ago, I noticed strange dust-like marks on the inside of my display. They are definitely on the inside because i tried cleaning the display and they did not go away.
This suggests that the iMac is not air-tight, which is not really a good sign. Now I am left with these annoying marks.
It is not the end of the world - but disappointing seeing as it is not even a year old.
Can anyone suggest what I should do to fix this problem? Any help appreciated.
Many thanks.

I would do it myself since it's me, as I don't trust Apple technicians to do any sort of cleaning. Everytime I took an Apple product in to the Apple Store for repairs for example, they always wind up back dirty, tons of scratches, fingerprints, etc.
Just don't use a toilet plunger or high adhesive tape, go with one or two small sized suction cups, a pair of latex gloves, and some preferably brand new microfiber cloths. Some compressed air would be a good idea as well.
Course if you don't feel comfortable about taking the glass screen apart, I would hand it over Apple. Just tell them you don't want any fingerprints or more dust in there than there already is.

My phone is stuck on the loading bar

my torch 9810 is stuck on the loading bar i have tried the safe mode and it didnt work and i wanted to know if there is any other thing i can do..........its been 2 days without my phone and its hell.......i need all my contacts someone help me plz

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I cannot tell, from "it didnt work", what exactly happened. Did it not get into Safe Mode? Did it get into Safe Mode but you couldn't do anything about the situation? Something else? How many times did you try to get into Safe Mode? How long did you wait before deciding that the loading bar is indeed stuck?
So, all I can recommend is that you continue to attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode or you cannot get into Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions. If, as you hint, you have no backup, then you likely have already lost that data...backups, like insurance, are neither a reactive nor an optional activity.

Place new objects right above the last active one?

Hi there,
I'm using Illustrator for years now, but I still haven't figured out how to create new objects right above the last selected one instead of the absolut top of the layer (or clipping path, when in draw-inside mode).
I want to click on an object anywhere in my layers, then draw a new path or dreate a shape right on top of it, like it works in photoshop with new layers.
I know you can cut-out the object and place it manually via ctrl-f, but thats really cumbersome and slow.
Does anyone have tipps how I can solve this problem or a has workaround?

Sorry Mike, but you must have missed the part in my post, where I already stated that I know about the ctrl+f functionality. It's not a good solution sadly :-(
My usual workflow consists of creating the main shapes of an illustration first and then add the smaller parts. Now I have to create an object, ctrl+x it, select the shape I want to add details and press ctrl+f.
Besides that, I find it very irritating, that theres an option "draw behind" but not "draw on top" which would be much more useful.
Do the other vectorprogramms handle the process the same?
Or does anyone know about a plugin or script that add the functionality?
