Has anyone else had the screws fall out of the bottom of 2012 2013 Macbook Pro Retina?

Apple tried to repair my Macbook Pro Retina when I first got it. They took the back off, replaced the motherboard (which was not the problem), and returned it to me the next day (via FedEx). When I got the machine back, half of the screws on the back shell were falling out... and one was in crooked. Apple told me to take my machine to the authorized computer repair place to have the screws tightened. The screws were tightened and now, they are falling out again! I've read about needed some sort of locktight product to put the screws back in. I don't understand why an authorized repair place would not do this the first time! Can you tell me what the process should be on replacing the screws in the bottom (shell) of the Macbook Pro Retina? I've heard that the shell should be replaced when the new screws are put in. Is this true? (I have AppleCare and will take my machine in next week for repair.... again!) Thanks!

The first repair (when they thought logic board was bad) was a mail-in to Apple. They are the ones that did not re-apply the screws properly and they were falling out when I took computer out of the cardboard shipping box. Called Apple. They said take it to Computer Guys (only auth Apple repair here). Now, a new Mac store in the mall has opened. I think I will take it there this time since it was not done properly at the Computer Guys last time (however, Apple didn't put them back in properly in the FIRST place! Gee. I have Applecare and will stay with Apple repair only. Thanks! I appreciate everyone's input. It has been really helpful! The only reason I have not taken it to an Apple Store is because it is 3 hours away. I will see what this new Mac store has to offer. Oh... and, Apple Support did absolutely nothing for me! Did not even apologize for not fixing it properly the first time... and costing me time and money (as my computer is part of my job). Thanks again! Did Apple do this on purpose to keep us from repairing our own machines? I've seen so many complaints online and I imagine there will be more to come as the machines age and people try to make repairs themselves. Crazy.

Has anyone else had the issue of losing the YouTube apps on the original IPhone after updating to 4.3.5

Has anyone else had the issue of losing theYouTube app on the original IPhone after updating to 4.3.5? (The Restrictions is turned as OFF)
The Youtube app is now cleaned away from the IOS 4.3.5
Any help would be appreciated.

This still doesn't make sense. The iPhone 4 may have come with a number of different versions of iOS out of the box depending on when it was purchased and how long it had sat on the shelf.
If you can't find it, check restrictions and make sure you haven't locked it out.

My ipod classic keeps showing error code 1439 and says its corrupted and nothing on the site that it says to do is working has anyone else had the problem

my ipod classic 160 gb keeps showing error code 1439 and says it is corrupted and i have done everything the article on it says to do and still reads the same thing. has anyone else had the same problem if so what can i do to fix it. the ipod is only 2 months old

If it is under warranty, bring it in to Apple Store, most of our suggestions, comes from the Apple support site..
Besides Restoring the iPod, there are winsocks which have conflict with iTunes, perhaps, disable those plugins and disconnect the Internet and stop antivirus, while you are Restoring or Syncing the iPod.

Has anyone else had the day view crash calendar in iOS 7.1 on iPad Air?

I recently updated to iOS 7.1 on my iPad Air (128 GB cellular). When I go to the calendar app and select the new "Day" view, the calendar app crashes.
I have iCloud calendar and two Google calendars syncing with the device. When I disable all calendars from syncing, I no longer experience a crash in the "Day" view.
Has anyone else had similar experiences?
Thanks,
Fyzel

Switching to day view doesn't crash calendar but I can't launch the calendar app in iOS 7.1 (on my iPad 2) if synch is in and it was last in day view. It crashes on launch.

Has anyone else had the issue of the the screen randomly flashing black only when using Messages app in landscape?

I have been having an issue with the screen flashing black for several seconds then turning back on. This olny occurs in the Messages app and only in landscape mode. I have never noticed the issue in any other app. The issue is 100% repeatable. Has anyone else had this issue or know of any solutions to what seems to be a bug?
-iPhone 5s running iOS 7.1

I think this is an issue with the phone's proximity sensor (the one that turns the screen off when you hold it up to your ear). It's a bug that seems to occur when you switch to another app (any app) while still on a phone call. You'll notice in Messages that the screen goes dark when you move your thumb over the earpiece/iSight camera, but not when you move your other thumb.
Simplest solution is to force-quit the Messages app (double-click the home button, and swipe up on the app). The problem should resolve itself when you restart Messages.

My 5s's data has been running dirt slow! Phone company says it's a hardware issue. Has anyone else had the same problem?

I've had my iphone 5s since Oct. Since I've had it, it will go through these periods where the data just slows to a crawl. So slow that I can't even access the App store until I get back around wi-fi. And this is in areas that I am recieving full signal and it's indicating that I have access to 4G. My wife has the same company, but has an iphone 5 and has not been having this problem. I called the phone comany and they advised me that it's likely a hardware issue. Has anyone had a similar problem with the 5s? If so, what can I do?

As silly as it may seem, I have had success simply turning my phone completely off and then back on again. I was using an iPhone 5 on Sprint and would run into this issue a couple of times a month. I would see the data indicator on my phone switching from 3G to 1x and back again several times over a few minutes while just sitting still. This would happen regardless of whether or not I had a full strength signal or not. (Remeber that if your signal strength is below 2 bars,dots,etc, you will not get great data speeds).
Try rebooting the phone. If this does not help, pay close attention to the signal strength meter at the top of the phone. If you and your wife are on the same carrier and it turns out you get different signal strengths while standing in the same location, you may have a problem with your phones antenna.
If these suggestions do not help, post back to the discussion.

On my iPad, in iCal, whenever I attempt to go to March 2013 the application closes. I know of at least one other user who has the same problem. Has anyone else had the same experience

I am using an iPad.
In iCal, whenever I try to turn to the month of March, the app closes.
I know of at least one other person who has had the same problem.
Has anyone had a similar experience and know of any solution?

Chiave2,
Why does the month March 2013 not show...: Apple Support Communities, and Why can I NOT select March 2013 Month...: Apple Support Communities may provide you with a solution for your problem.

Has anyone else had the problem of apps or videos supposedly taking up more room than they say they do?

Hey, I've been having this problem for a while. Whenever I try to add a new app that's relatively large, or a new video at all, iTunes says there's not enough room on my iPod. Most recently, this happened when adding a video. Said video is 1.05 GB. iTunes says I have 1.21 GB of storage available on my iPod. Is there a reason for this, or is it just bad luck on my part?
Thanks,
-Stuart

I told the guy I was not willing to give up my unlimited plan AND pay full price for the phone, I thanked him for his time and we left.
Here is my advice, at least. Not sure if anyone will agree, but it is my take on the problem.
With the Edge program, there is a "possibility" that someone will pay full price for a phone. This is not always the case, though. IF you do not complete ALL of the 24 months of payments, then you WILL NOT have paid full price for the phone, but simply a portion of the full price. THAT is why it does not make the plan "eligible" to keep your unlimited data. With the Edge plan, technically you only have to pay 50% of the full price before you can trade it in for another phone on the Edge plan. The way the plan is designed, the majority of people WILL NOT ever pay full price for the phone, but only a portion of the full price before they exchange their phone for a new device. That is what Verizon is hoping for, at least.
As Ann154 has pointed out, you can use the Device Payment Plan and keep your unlimited data. At no time during your contract can you trade THAT phone in to get another phone. You would have to continue making the payments on THAT phone along with any other phone you upgraded to. THAT is the difference between the 2 plans. You WILL end up paying full price for the phone on the Device Payment Plan, where you can STOP making payments on a phone with the Edge Plan if you turn it in for another device.
Good luck.

TS1368 I am curious what I can do to fix my itunes, if I try to click on music in itunes from my phone, it gives me a message, "too many HTTP redirects." Has anyone else had the same problem? I don't know what else to do to fix this...

This is what I get when I go to iTunes and try to look up music. I've tried to clear my cookies in hopes that it would change this iTunes mishap. I'm out of ideas how to fix this issue, any information would help.

try a new/fresh apple brand cable and make sure it is the only usb cable in use. this worked for me, i noticed i had no problem with a lighting cable. i did a restore from scratch and from backup and it did not help me...and if you cant sync than you wont be able to get anything but apps back after the restore

Has anyone else had the same problem with SYSMAN password resetting?

I am a Oracle Support Administrator and have posted a SR with Metalink and just wanted to ask the community if they have had any of the same problems.
I am remotely accessing a customers Grid Control via VMWare software and over the past couple of weeks I have been trying to access GC with the Sysman user. The password seems to be either resetting itself or there is a bug in the system. I have checked to see if there is a expiration script running or something similar with no result. It is definitely being altered somehow at the Grid Con end of things. I checked to see if it was resetting in the emon.properties file in the oracle home, this was not the case. So am really stuck.
I have to change the password via SQL+ for it to come back online.
Any ideas or suggestions would be grateful .
Thanks all.

just follow this....

9.2 Changing the SYSMAN Password
The SYSMAN account is the default super user account used to set up and administer Enterprise Manager. It is also the database account that owns the objects stored in the Oracle Management Repository. From this account, you can set up additional administrator accounts and set up Enterprise Manager for use in your organization.
The SYSMAN account is created automatically in the Management Repository database during the Enterprise Manager installation. You also provide a password for the SYSMAN account during the installation.
See Also:
Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Installation and Basic Configuration for information about installing Enterprise Manager
If you later need to change the SYSMAN database account password, use the following procedure:
Shut down all the Oracle Management Service instances that are associated with the Management Repository.
See Also:
"Controlling the Oracle Management Service"
Change the password of the SYSMAN database account using the following SQL*Plus commands:
SQL>connect sysman/oldpassword;
SQL>alter user sysman identified by newpassword;
For each Management Service associated with the Management Repository, locate the emoms.properties configuration file.
The emoms.properties file can be found in the following directory of the Oracle Application Server Home where the Oracle Management Service is installed and deployed:
IAS_HOME/sysman/config/
Locate the following entries in the emoms.properties file:
oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepPwd=ece067ffc15edc4f
oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepPwdEncrypted=TRUE
Enter your new password in the first entry and enter FALSE in the second entry.
For example:
oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepPwd=new_password
oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepPwdEncrypted=FALSE
Save and exit the emoms.properties file and restart each Management Service associated with the Management Repository.
In the Grid Control console, click the Targets tab and then click All Targets on the sub tab.
Select the Management Services and Repository target and click Configure. Enterprise Manager displays the Monitoring Configurations page.
Enter the new password in the Repository password field and click OK.
See Also:
"Specifying New Target Monitoring Credentials"
After the Management Service has started, you can check the contents of the emoms.properties file to be sure the password you entered has been encrypted.
For example, the entries should appear as follows:
oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepPwd=ece067ffc15edc4f
oracle.sysman.eml.mntr.emdRepPwdEncrypted=TRUE

Ever since I installed Lion my internet connection comes and goes, has anyone else had the same experience. have rung Apple Care and they have reset my connection but it is still happening

ever since I installed Lion my internet connection comes and goes....have reported this to Apple Care who have helped me reset my connection but it is still happening...cant believe it is a fault of the ISP as my Iphone does not have this problem, nor does my PC laptop...is this a fault in the new system?

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

Has anyone else had the problem where Siri on iOS 6 locks the phone after sending a text using a Bluetooth headset. I have the auto lock turned off but I have had it happen many times.

Siri is locking my iPhone 5 running ios6 after sending a text message using my Jawbone icon HD Bluetooth earpiece. Sometimes it will lock before the text is even sent. I have the auto lock turned off.

I have this problem too. Auto lock is off and Siri can be used from the lock screen but this defeats the purpose of hands free usage for example when you are on a bicycle and can't use the phone normally. After sending a message or a reply to one Siri locks the phone and you cannot hear new messages until you unlock the phone which can be potentially dangerous!
I'd love to see if there is a solution as I can't see any option in settings (either Siri settings or pass lock settings) to fix this.

Firefox 4 beta on my and another system ended up not being able to load certain web sites ie igoogle so went back to 3.6 has anyone else had the same problem

firefox 4 beta ended up on certain web sites grinding to a halt then stopped responding igoogle is a prime example firefox 3.6 is fine with the web site it was not doing it till the 12th beta version and its happened on two systems so im not alone its resulted in me removing firefox 4 and i will wait until its officially released

Although FF4 is so nice I'm almost ready to ditch iGoogle!
Please fix what appears to be an RSS/iGoogle issue with FF4...
Gmail is fine, but titles dont show in most RSS feed gadgets and no stories, strangely, apart from this one:
http://www.google.com.au/ig/directory?hl=en&url=www.google.com/ig/modules/builtin_news_technology.xml
Which if you enter the last part of the url reports that
"<Content type="html">
This is a builtin module, so the UserPrefs and Content are ignored."
Any ideas?
