Hey Apple, what's wrong with these Li ion batteries and PMU?

One of the reasons why we buy laptop is to use it for travel and work. I am not really happy with the fact that i had to reset the PMU twice in a month, and then have to recalibrate the battery again.
What is this new Apple paradigm? we buy a laptop for roughly $2500 and it has to be calibrated and reset every month? When is apple going to provide a good answer to this problem?
I don't buy a MacBook pro because i like playing with the hardware and software, and reading these Apple Discussions, i buy it because i need a working tool, that can work on battery for more than 4 hours for at least 2 years. If it is not the case, then Apple should take steps to replace the deficient part(s) (and please, don't crash my hard drive as it is quite valuable to me!-).
I like apple products and i have quite a few at home and at work, but it needs to meet users' requirements!
Thank you!
MacBook pro 2.33Ghz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I have to concur with this statement. Having used Mac's for years I'm totally dissappointed with my MBP's reliability. I placed the order during the Job's keynote at Macworld SF last year and waited for weeks for it to arrive.
I'm now on my third battery and have all sorts of start-up issues. Since the last update 10.4.9 my screen periodically goes dark (from bottom to top, like it's filling up with water) and a message telling me to restart -- I've never seen this on any Mac.
My display will suddenly lose sync and go all fuzzy (not my second monitor, just the laptop display) for no reason. And, just to add insult to injury, some of the paint underneath my spacebar has started to peel off.
Not happy with this machine at all and wish I'd stayed on my G4

What's Wrong with These Rules?

I can't see what's wrong with these rules. Does any one see the problem?
Passport data is verified if
Database provides an exact match for the passport number and date of birth.
Photo matching is required if
Passport data is verified.
Passport photo matches evidentiary photo if
Photo matching is required and
Photo match is valid.
Photo match is valid if
Photo matching is required and
user states that photo matches evidentiary photo.
The investigation session asks the question "does Database provide an exact match ..." Response is True.
"Photo matching is request" is set to true because "Passport data is verified" is true.
Then the investigation stops. It doesn't go on and ask if "user states that photo ...". This arrtibute has the value of <unknown>. All the identifiers (red numbers) match up correctly. I just can't see what is wrong.
Thanks,
Terry

Thanks, Brandon,
Your idea was helpful. It was a goal, but not a top level goal. By checking the data at each step, I found that a higher level rule that was dependent on these rules was the culprit. I should have had an "and" when I had wrote the rule with an "or". I don't entirely understand why this higher level rule needed to have "and" instead of "or", but it works now and that's all I care about.

What's wrong with these code?

Hi, i made the below snippet of code for retriving data from a table in database. but it doesnt work property when i run the program. Could anyone tell me what's wrong with it? Thanx in advance.
//rs is object of type ResultSet
//url is one of the column names in a table
<% if(rs.getString("url")!= null){%>
   <tr>
      <td>URL </td>
      <td>= { <%= rs.getString("url") %> },</td>
</tr>
<%}%>

Without seeing the error message, one can only guess. Some JDBC drivers do not allow you to get a column more than once, so that may be your problem. Store the result of rs.getString("url") in a String variable in the first line, and use that variable in the table cell.

For our ELVIS II units, I receive error message -200220. What is wrong with these units when they worked a month ago?

On several computer stations, we receive the error message -200220 when selecting any instrument on the Instrument Launcher when the Run option is pressed. This message has not been cleared after the computer was rebooted and the Box power cycled. What is wrong?
I can not find this error code in the product documentation.
Solved!

From the screenshot you attached, it looks like there is no device specified on the front panel, which means that the error you see is correct, the device identifier is invalid. Are there any available devices populated in the Device control? Does your ELVIS II show up as connected in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX)?

I got this from Amazon, what's wrong with these pics?

Great share! I hate to see this type of thing happen, but glad to see you got it resolved.
For everyone's knowledge... if you feel that you purchased sketch software, you can definitely call the Microsoft anti-piracy hotline at (800) RU-LEGIT, e-mail Microsoft at [email protected] or contact the Business Software Alliance (BSA) anti-piracy hotline at (888) NO-PIRACY to report them like the above post.

I needed another copy of Office 2010 for a new user here. I needed2010 since 2013 isn’t compatible with our PM/EMR systems. I went to Amazon anddid a search for Office 2010. In the list that came up there was a new copy forsale. I ordered this and it came in 2 days later. I already had copies of Office 2010 on our systems so I loadedit off a share and just needed the key. I went to put the new key in and it wouldn’ttake it. Tried it again just to make sure I didn’t fumble the key, still tellingme not a valid key. This got me thinking, OK why isn’t it taking the key. Iwent to one of my coworkers and asked them to read the key off so I can makesure my old eyes were not failing me. Same digits I just tried. He put the disk in his PC and it took a fewminutes to come up to the install screen asking for the key. He inputted thekey and it...

What is wrong with these apps?

I have a 55" 2014 Bravia and since day one there were some apps on it that I hadn't tried. The other day I tried the Accuweather and NPR apps and NEITHER ONE WORKED!! I believe some of the others don't work either. I mostly use Netflix, Amazon so I hadn't noticed this before. I would think that the weather and NPR would be free apps. Do they require a subscription? They don't even ask for your name or anything. I click on it and they just sit there doing nothing until I give up.

Nevermind. I found it in the menus. Didn't help. Neither Accuweather nor NPR worked and neither does Pandora and Pandora did work last year and it works fine on my computer.

What is wrong with safari 5.0.6 and 10.5.8 - SLOW!!!

Hi guys
First post and that is because I have not had a problem with my Macbook Pro in 2 years since getting it.
I have been reading here and there but my safari 5.0.6 is getting sluggish. It take longer for webpages to load up and any kind of video content such as YouTube etc is jerking. It doesn't load as quick and stops and starts every 8 secs or so.
Facebook takes longer to load and even basic sites like BBC.
I have tried the whole reset safari and cleared the cache plus changing DNS etc.
Also created a new id and still just as slow.
I am coming to the conclusion that there is something wrong at the Apple HQ and they need to release some patches to get things working again!
Any comments or ideas welcome.
Cheers!

If Safari is getting very slow:
(Presumably you regularly empty your Safari cache by deleting the following file:
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/cache.db
and clear your History)
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
and here:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network:please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/best_practices/#your_network and follow the advice given.
If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.
One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x as is described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
You can cancel DNS pre-fetching by going to Terminal and typing:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
You have to restart Safari for it to take effect.
If Safari seems to hang for ages:
If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type
killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page.
Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The latest versions of Flash 10.1 onwards appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.
For this and other reasons Apple switched their websites to HTML5 in January 2011:

EA4500 , What is wrong with u? 802.11n and wmm issus.

Hi there.
I just got this router . The wired part of the router running well ,But for the wirelss ,it's really killing.
Even my old router can running at a spped at 150M when conncted to my laptop or my usb wifi card.
but , both my wifi card and two laptops can only go 72mbps. when using 801.11 b/g/n mix mode.if i turn off wmm it can only do 54mbps.
When 11n only mode is sellected and wmm turned off . none of my device can connect to EA4500 including apple tv ,iphone,pc... ,
when 11n only with wmm on .all my PCs get a connecting speed at 72mbps.
I had a scan of my wifi envirenment .It seems there are so many routers Aps around Me, that might be a problem but why my old router can do better than my Ea4500?

I see. Now, set the security mode to WPA2/WPA Mixed Mode, switch the channel width to 20 mhz only, and set the channel to 1 or 6 or 11. To know what best channel to use. Download inSSIDer

- Try inserting and removing the headphone plug a dozen or so times.
- Next try a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, like a bad headphone jack.

My iphone 4 works but the screen went black after it got shot with a paintball. What is wrong with it?

I went paintballing and i forgot i had my iphone in my pocket. I realized I was getting a call and my phone screen didnt work. It didnt crack it just went black. Everythin else works just not that. What is wrong with it?

try holding and pressing the sleep button and home button together for a few seconds and see if there will be any change in the screen and apple logo should appear after 10 seconds or so if not i guess its a problem with the screen itself maybe darkened pixels or maybe a wire is cut off

What is wrong with my shipping address? I want to order pictures via apple store with iPhoto. Apple Id and payment seem ok. My current and correct shipping address appears with red letters. Why and what to do?

What is wrong with my shipping address? I want to order pictures via apple store with iPhoto. Apple Id and payment seem ok. My current and correct shipping address appears with red letters. Why and what to do?
Maybe this is relevant: I bought iphoto from the German apple store but I now live in Italy. I have tried German credit card with German invoicing address and Italian shipping address. And I have tried Italian credit card with Italian invoicing address and Italian shipping address. The phenomenon is the same: shipping address appears in red and I am asked to fill in the mandatory fields (which turn red whatever I enter).

KarinavD,
what is the setting for the Print Products Store in the Advanced Tab of the iPhoto Preferences?
The country you select there has to match the billing address. And your billing address should match the country of your AppleID and credit card used with the AppleID.

I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Turning it on then off doesn't help.

I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Home button and turning the phone off then on doesn't seem to do anything.

Thanks Lucas,
I've tried doing that with no results. Same screen keeps showing. Maybe it'd be more helpful if I told you a bit more info. My phone was randomly playing music, and the voice control would also suddenly start without me touching the phone. Then I let the battery die and started to recharge when on the screen it indicated to plug into my computer/iTunes, I tried to restore but was getting an error message (can't remember what it said now). Battery died and now my current issue of the black screen with white apple. I'd love to be able to restore my phone but now its not showing as a device on my iTunes. HELP! Any other suggestions?
