Got MBP (15inch late2011) in Jan-2012... full screen is black. I am in india and apple guys said Graphic Processer is failed

I got a Macbook Pro (15-inch Late 2011 model) in Jan-2012. Two-three times, the screen would flicker and turn black... also got a message associated to graphic problem… so reported to Apple during the warranty period. The support folks said that it is a software problem, thus re-boot it and it worked for the time.
Now, I am in India and it just turned black. I tried resetting (command+option+p+r) but of no use. The Apple support person here says that the Graphic Processor is failed and needs to be replaced (may cost around US $1000).
I am out of apple warranty and do not want to spend such a big amount… can somebody please help?

I'm sorry, we wish we can help you, but for that level of problem you need to contact Apple directly and deal with them.

Again, sorry for your loss.

    Whatever you read about iTunes is wrong unless you're actually referring to feature movies, not videos. Videos, apps, music and iBooks you can re-download:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    Download to your computer and then sync to your iPod touch whatever will fit.
    And no, I can't say with certainty that they won't give you a refund, but it's unlikely. The most probable outcome, if you do indeed mean movies, not TV shows or other videos, is that they would set up an additional download. For other content they'll probably just direct you to the same instructions on re-downloading I just posted.

  • Yesterday i bought ipad4 i transfered photos from pc to ipad that it opened in ipad when i click slideshow everything went black. whenever i m opening the application(photos) full screen looking black but all photos are occuping memory.

    yesterday i bought ipad4 i transfered photos from pc to ipad that it opened in ipad when i click slideshow everything went black. whenever i m opening the application(photos) full screen looking black but all photos are occuping memory.i can see the pictures in settings>brightness>wallpapers but i couldnt able to see in photos application in ipad4

    I have several thousand photos in several folders. I have noticed that whenever I want to change the folder used as the side show source, it takes the Screen Saver Preference pane a very long time to respond. It is as if it is scanning all the photos in the currently assigned folder in order to display them in the preview window provided, and it gets so dogged down doing that it can't respond to my clicks on the Choose Folder option.
    Assuming you don't want to redistribute your photos into a greater number of folders or subfolders so there would be fewer in each folder to process, you could try a workaround. Try moving your currently-assigned folder to your desktop temporarily, before opening the Screen Saver preference pane. If the preference pane can't find the old folder, it may immediately ask you to choose a new one. You could hopefully then do so, close the preference pane, and then put back the old folder.
    It's my understanding that there will be no future updates to Tiger, only security fixes.

  • Full screen is black when using windows media player on Equium series

    Hi.
    When i watch TV on the windows media player so I have problem. If I switch on full screen so there is just black screen but I can hear sounds.
    Watching DVD is OK.
    I've got my laptop for 4 months but everything was ok.
    This problem started just now maybe 2 days ago. I think i've done something but i don't know what and i can't fix it.
    I've done restoring OS but it didn't help.
    Could you help me please?
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    I know that problem, its just a bug with the media player and the graphics drivers (Its mainly the media player causing the error). Please, if you want to watch something on the TV then the playback must be STOPPED BEFORE you switch the screen. After you switched the screen, activate the playback and it should work.
    Otherwise go to the site of www.videolan.org, download the latest version of the VLC player and do it with him, it should work for sure. I never start the playback of some movie or whatever when the screen was not changed before to the TV as the only screen.

  • Every time that I want to go full screen with an enbedded video firefox freezes and doesn't expand

    Every time I try to go full screen with an embedded video or video game Firefox freezes and stop working

    1. Update firefox to the latest version 2. and disable real player in menu->addons->plugins.
    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
    In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:

  • With a full screen application open, if you then open and close LaunchPad, the dock will not go away!

    This is especially annoying if you have hot corners for LaunchPad and accidentally open it with a full screen app open, because the Dock will not leave!  Try it: open any app in full screen, open LaunchPad with a gesture or hot corner, exit out of LaunchPad and the Dock will be at the bottom of the full-screen app, obscuring the bottow 10% or so of the screen.  Any fixes, or something to come on Apple's end?

    below is what I get with the dev.jeffersonscher.com etc. url. But what do I do with this information? I can launch safe mode, but I still get only the 2" icon/window of Firefox.

  • Finder stuck in full screen with black background on one monitor

    Just upgraded to Mavericks on launch day and a day or so later when I went to change the new Mavericks desktop backgound with another image, the Finder appears to be stuck in full screen mode, but raising the mouse to the top doesn't reveal the normal drop back to exit full screen. The background is black as well. When looking into what the OS thinks is the background image, it does show the image that I choose, but I can't see it.
    I've rebooted and also tried to reset the desktop by going through these steps:
    1: Click "Go" at the top of the finder.
    2: Hold down the "Option" key and click "Library"
    3: Open the "Preferences" folder.
    4: Find the file "com.apple.desktop.plist"
    5: Rename it to "com.apple.desktop.plist.old"
    6: Reboot your computer.
    ... but this did not resolve the issue. Any ideas?

    I don't even have that file in my Preferences folder. It used to be there in Mountain Lion. Now one of my script won't work because of that.
    But I don't have similar problem that you described. I can assign different desktop backgroud images just fine.

  • How do I get the menu to go away when streaming to full screen view it's driving me crazy and it didn't used to happen

    This never happened when streaming from netflix but now I am streaming from HBO Go, and it also happens on democracy now! news and other shows. Did I hit the wrong key somewhere it seems like a minor complaint but it just drives me crazy. As a side note when I recently watched the steve jobs memorial it streamed perfectly in full screen. Any suggestions. I have a macbook with OS 10.6.7 THANKS:)

    Try a reset:
    Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
    If successful, go to Settings>General>Usage...start deleting.

  • Firefox 33 linux mint: in full screen no right mouse, no page down and F11 doesn work

    Many times F11 doesn't work and I have to enter/exit full screen through the menu.
    PageUp / PageDown keys don always work in sull screen

    Note that keyboard shortcuts do not work if a plugin (media player) has focus, so you can try to click elsewhere on the web page or in the user interface to see if that helps.

  • Full screen mode blacks out my second screen

    Help, love fullscreen mode but it blacks out my linked Macbook pro too. How do I stop this?
    Hope someone can help.
    Louise

    When you're in full screen - use the same shortcuts when in normal mode to control the Secondary Viewer, ie, Option + M - mirror, Option + A - alternate - Option + S - Span, Option + B - Blank (probably what its set to currently), or Option + X - Desktop

  • Aperture got stuck while editing a photo in full screen mode and doesn't respond to commands

    How do I stop Aperture when it is completely stuck and will not even respond to alt-cmd-esc?

    then use option + command  Delete to force quit Aperture.
    Force quitting is to be avoided if possible, since it can corrupt the Aperture Library and the User preferences file or other settings.
    If Aperture seems to be stuck and unresponsive, quite often it is a deadlock in the graphical user interface, but the application itself still may respond to the "Terminate" signal, send by other processes:
    Select the Aperture Dock icon, ctrl-click and select "Quit!
    Select "Restart" from the     Apple-menu.
    Or use the Terminal to send a Terminate-Signal:
    Launch "Activity Monitor" (from Applications > Utilities) and find the Process ID of Aperture (PID, in the first column)
    Open a Terminal and type in:
    kill -TERM Aperture's PID
    Only if all these safer measures don't work, then use Force Quit on a database program like Aperture, but be prepared to run an "Aperture Library First Aid" afterwards, if you see signs of a corrupted library.

  • HELP! I shut down my macbook pro and now after applications have been in full screen mode for awhile they automatically minimize and it takes me back to the desktop. How do I fix this?

    I shut down my macbook and now while applications such as safari have been open for awhile, even while active, will automatically minimize and it take me back to the desktop.  How do I fix this?

    I should add that this has happened before and I feel like it was a quick un-toggling of a box in my settings, but I can not remember what to do.

  • How do I forces FF 23 to open maximized, not full screen, but maximized, both on start up and when opening new windows?

    Firefox 23 does not open maximized nor does it open new windows maximized. As such I have to manually maximize each window.
    Run is set to maximized in the shortcut properties, yet it still opens in a normal or less than normal size window.
    Older versions open maximized with no problem. I have Profile manager configured so that I can run multiple versions at the same time and everything opens maximized except FF 23.
    is there some setting in the about:config interface or is this a genuine BUG in the latest version? Any help would be appreciated greatly.
    Also can you tell me how to modify the title bar text/icon/etc as well as where to find the icon or portable network graphic (png) file for the main-window.ico or direct me to appropriate knowledge base articles for modifying both.

    My localstore.rdf file was fine. The problem was caused by two plug-ins that Mozilla shows as being compatible with Firefox 23, when in fact they both cause undesired side effects.
    Maybe the employees of Mozilla should actually test plug-ins before they allow them to be available for download or worse yet, recommend them.
    And if any of the in-house developers had a clue they would stop removing old lines of code from Mozilla products so that new versions of Firefox would still be compatible with older plug-ins and extensions people would still like to use.
    I had to remove recommended extensions and copy code from older versions of FF and NS and modify settings in about:config to allow older extensions to work to correct the problems and get Firefox to work the way I need it to. All in all I have over forty hours invested in modding FF at this point just to have it function the way it used to.
    Unfortunately, since I still can't get buttons designed to open .URL links from the toolbar to work as they did in the past I have a feeling I'll be returning to older code sources to find more answers.
    Lucky for me that I have every browser going back to NCSA Mosaic available to me, so every bit of code from the present till back before Mozilla existed is include in my knowledge base. It's a shame Mozilla doesn't keep such a reference available for it's users or apparently it's in house developers and staff.
    Maybe I'll even re-enable the splash screen for Firefox since the only available plug-in for that doesn't appear to work with Version 23 either, even though once again the compatibility adviser says it does
    It's truly sad that the result of Marc Andreessen's and James Clark's work and Netscape in general became the spawning Mozilla. What used to be a great browser and an acceptable replacement for Netscape, has become a joke. So much for all the hard work and effort made by Dave Hyatt and Blake Ross as well.
    I guess that's what one should expect from the developers that are a part of generations X, Y, and Me. The attitudes associated with those generations show in the lack of thought, consideration, and ingenuity that have been a part the last several versions of FF, not to mention, the copying of features from Chrome.
    When the only original idea to come out of Mozilla of late is to remove or disable features people have used and counted on for decades, the I don't care, I don't know, and me, me, me attitudes of so many from the aforementioned generations is truly evident in the last twenty incarnations of Firefox. Not to mention the attitudes and unhelpful nature of the responses users encounter when asking for help.
