Here's my story sad but true!

Firstly my spec
27-inch, Mid 2011
Processor 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)
I bought my imac in Nov 2011, not quite a year later I got the pink screen of death (I followed instructions to remedy) all seemed fine for a little while then when I played World of Warcraft it would crash. The mac would seem to be quite hot (top right of casing) anyway I took it back to the Apple shop, they looked it over told me there was nothing wrong. Seemed ok for a while but now my mac crashes even when not gaming. I have had every sort of crash I think possible, black screen, grey vertical pinstripe, black screen but can still hear everything I was watching ok, stuttering screen etc etc so I have to reboot to get back.
I did AHT, utility repairs, upgrade from lion to mountain lion erased & clean installed hoping that would fix it but no! tried smc fan fix but it won't let me get into that?
So I am guessing (I am a noob not an IT expert) that something major is wrong with the graphics.
I am also guessing a trip back to the apple store is imminent, at my expense (as I am now out of date for warrenty etc)
Any ideas? Help?
Just call me Dr Graphic-berg (iceberg ahoy!)

I am also guessing a trip back to the apple store is imminent, at my expense (as I am now out of date for warrenty etc)
Worth a shot: Since you are only 5 months out of warranty, call Apple Customer Relations. Tell them exactly what you stated in your posting (politely). If you have any receipts or paperwork documentation from your trips to the AS tell ACR. See what they can do for you!
GOOD LUCK!!!!

AT&T; sad but true

My family had been customers of AT&T for 10 years. We moved to a different town approximately one year ago. AT&T coverage in the new town was supposed to be acceptable but we constantly battled dropped calls, etc. We tried the booster that AT&T recommended which did not help much. We were forced to shop around for a different cell company that would provide coverage that my husband needed to run his business out of our home. Long story short, we did switch providers. We left AT&T in good standing. No outstanding balances, etc. We ended our service with AT&T 4 days into a new billing cycle. One of our five phone lines was still under contract for which we owed AT&T $400. I completely understand the $400 charge but they are also charging us for the whole 30 days of that new billing period even though we only had service for 4 of the 30 days. I attempted to talk to customer service who refused to look into prorating the monthly charge to reflect only those days that AT&T actually provided us service. I'm sure AT&T has a legal explanation but sometimes ethics in a situation is just as important as the legal aspect. It's really sad that a major corporation would run a business in this fashion. Be very careful if you cancel service with AT&T. If you cancel even one hour into the next billing cycle, you will be charge for the whole month.

Yes, it is in the terms of service that AT&T (and all the other providers) will not prorate the final month's service. Yes, it would be ethical if they would prorate the final month but I don't think that is going to happen.

after 6 proud month of owning this board.........i must say my time with msi has almost ended. the board has given up on the most important part of her duty and thats the SATA connection..... when i first got the board there were 2 connectors. well 1 didnt work off the bat, so i had 1 working which was fine cuz i only had 1 drive. heres wut drove me oever the edge. just a few days ago the MOBO wont detect MY ONLY SATA maxtor 80gb , but after continuously pressing the power. it finally came up, it almost felt like winning the lottery.but days later it seems no matter how many times i press that power button. it just wont detect. i have gotten a new drive from the nice people at maxtor with the same result. and my delta doesnt have the sata connection...so my question is to u'll could it be the cable is bad or is it the mobo.

Read the blue link in my signature and then make your self one like mine.
The only way to answer your question is try replacing the cable and then if that does not work swap the motherboard, you could have a bad one, that does happen to everyone at some point, with EVERY manufacturer.
Try the latest BIOS for your motherboard lately?
Come back with the rest of the info we need to help you better.

Hi, I have a problem with getting my apple Id working for me. It's been 2 months since it happened and Apple failed to act. I can tell my story proerly, but am not sure, you guys can help, so I just copy my message to them today, I am trying to get it across all the places around to pay their attention. This is a desperate move, so if you are not the right people to help me to get my message accross, may be you can advise where can I go.
Thank you, and sorry for the language.

I am sorry to say that, but your security makes my life miserable – it’s been 2 months since my Apple ID account got stuck, and since then I cannot update 37 applications (to date), i.e. most of my applications. Half of them I bought. I also paid for iCloud, and it is not working. I paid money and I am stuck with old applications and no iCloud. Your security *****. Your service ***** too. It took your service 1 month to finally understand why this happened to me, and it took me tens of emails to you and 3 hours of telephone conversation to find out the reason for my problem. And the problem is still not fixed. NOT FIXED. You just leave your customer – the one who paid you money and spent so much time with you trying to help you help me – and nothing. You tell me: “Vitas, Stick your stinky iphone in your *** and enjoy life, we do not care!” *************.
It is ******* outrageous, and you should know that, guys. Get into the ******* database and correct the bug. Get someone in the partners-telephone carriers company (it is Orange as carreer and Cellcom as seller of the phone) authorized to Identify me in personal encounter in one of the branches in Israel (where I live) and make sure it is really me, and get the ******* system accept my password and let me use my phone.
Otherwise **** off. None of my friends will get my advise to buy an iphone or any of apple products. And I think you should be very attentive to cases like this, guys. Do your work for the money we pay, or disappear. There are many others eager to take your place, and if the problem is not fixed I will eventually go to the others. My patience is lost, and as soon as I can afford another phone I will change it. AND I WILL TRY TO GIVE BAAAAAD PUBLICITY TO APPLE – I am threatening here, so ACT NOW.

Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you

So... here's the story

So... here's the story. I currently have a mini mac and am looking to buy a mac pro.
But, should I just go out and buy one now, or should I wait till leopard comes out? (which I think is in oct-nov)
Should I wait?
Is there a big difference between tiger and leopard?
When leopard comes out, I asume the mac pro won't change but the price will go up?
If I go and buy one now, can I later upgrade to leopard when it comes out? (how much would it cost me?)
Thanks Guys and Gals

Should I wait?
Based on Leopard alone… no. If you're waiting for a hardware update or the like then that answer might well be different depending on circumstances but even still, it's normally no.
When leopard comes out, I asume the mac pro won't change but the price will go up?
No. When Leopard is released all Mac prices will remain the same with the only difference being hat it will then come with Leopard, just like PCs now come with Vista as the same price.
If I go and buy one now, can I later upgrade to leopard when it comes out? (how much would it cost me?)
Yes you can upgrade to Loepard (after its release of course) when you like, just like the rest of us. The cost is the same as it has been for quite some time, $US129 (or the UK Pound Sterling price plus VAT as you would pay).
Ultimately, what you need to do is decide what you gain by waiting along with what you lose by waiting. To me, having the power of a Mac Pro over a Mac mini, even if it's an Intel model, for 4 months from now until October is worth the price of the Leopard upgrade on its own.
Additionally, depending on your experience with largers systems like the MP the time from now can really help you get your house in order before jumping into Leopard. There's quite a bit to mull over when it comes to 4 drive bays (and all you can do with that) and 8 RAM slots not to mention Boot Camp thrown in.

The seller needs to follow this procedure:

If she refuses, then as Tim suggested the iPhone is probably stolen. You'll need to contact your local police department and ask how to proceed.

My daughter can mms photos from her LG phone to everyone but me and my iphone

My daughter can mms photos from her LG phone to everyone but me and my iphone. She tells me that she can mms photos to other iphones and I can receive photos from other people, just not her. The only thing that I can think of is that we are on a family plan that allows unlimited text between family members so maybe my carrier is blocking MMS? The problem with that theory is that I can text photos to her, so I am stumped.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

you need to do a backup of the old phone and then on your new phone restore from that backup

Hi JavaBrat,
I'm assuming that you only use Yahoo mail on the web and not through a mail client, such as Outlook or Thunderbird?
Also, make sure all of your Yahoo emails are going directly to the Yahoo inbox and not to sub folders or junk folders. Only the inbox will be delivered to your BlackBerry.
If the above doesn't help, feel free to send me your PIN via Private Message so that I can see if there are any issues on our side with your account integration.
Thanks!

My husband was helping our daughter set up an apple id. She entered her e-mail address incorrectly, but didn't realize it until AFTER they had entered a credit card number. How can we cancel the incorrect e-mail address account?

iMac model?
Mac OS version?
Both can be viewed fby doing "About this Mac" from the Apple menu at the left end of the menubar. The OS version will be pretty obvious; posting what the window says about your processor will help us figure out what model.
I ask becasue about 60 percent of the posts here are about newer models than the pre-2006 iMacs this forum serves.
Not your fault if you found the wrong forum--Apple's labeling is as clear as mud!

I am switching accounts with my brother (long story why) but I need to remove my emails from the Mail application. I removed my Gmail account but when I try to remove my iCloud email it still keeps the emails. Does anyone know to remove a iCloud email?

Hi, how are you seeing these eMails if the account is removed?

I bought a Visa card and I wanted to buy gold in dragon story game but I couldn't ! Why is that ?

I bought a Visa card and I wanted to buy gold in dragon story game but I couldn't ! Can I know why ?

The card needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address as you have on your iTunes account and be able to be verified as being issued by a bank/financial institution in your country - which prepaid cards tend not to be. Do you have a credt card or are iTunes gift cards available in your country ?
Or you are getting a message to contact iTunes support ? If you are then you can do so via this link and ask them for help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
