How many times will Apple attempt to fix a computer?

I realize my Powerbook G4 is older and the lower memory slot has gone out for the second time in six months. It will be going in tomorrow and I'm sure it will be gone for another week. It seems that others have had similar experiences and I'm curious how many attempts Apple will make before they simply replace it. I had a lemon a number of years ago and Apple eventually made it right.

Try complaining to customer service. Tell them how unhappy you are with your Mac experience and start insisting for compensation, but you can settle for a new Mac Book Pro. The genius bar has nothing to do with customer service and they will just keep repairing it if you keep taking it there.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • How many times can I attempt my restriction code

    How many times can I attempt my restriction code

    From this article:
    About Restrictions (parental controls) on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    "If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it."

  • How many times can you attempt the restrictions passcode?

    I've forgotten the restrictions passcode I set on my iPod. Since I don't want to perform a complete systems reset just yet, I want to try to attempt remembering my passcode... how many times can I try the restrictions passcode without permanently locking it?

    This is for the restrictions passcode correct? Not the regular passcode....
    And I heard somewhere that if you guess too many times, you will be permanently locked out of your device...

  • AppleCare support - how many times will you lose my registration?

    Called on 6/29/06 to register my almost out of warranty iPod. Waited forever to talk to a very nice person who took my case and told me what to do: fax my iPod SN, and provided a case#.
    I call today to register my AppleCare warranty and am told that I need to repeat the above steps again, and call back in 5-10 business days.
    This person (Shelly?) was rude, abrupt and condencending.
    How many times do I have to prove that I own an iPod, get it registered so I can get it repaired?
    AppleCare is the worst experience I've ever had. What did I pay for. I've never experienced such a run-around to get support.
    BTW - your phone queue is about 20 years old. Could you at least tell someone HOW LONG they are going to wait? And/or eliminate the 'You call is important and will be answered in the order received' notice that comes on every minute?

    This is a user-to-user forum. You are not communicating with Apple.

  • How many times will I have to update Genius before it 'knows' my collection?

    I have 14,000 songs in my library (iPod 160G, version 2.0.4, Windows) but Genius only seems to know about 1,000 of them.   The same tracks get chosen for the 'canned' Genius mixes and for the Genius mixes that I create myself.   I make a point of updating Genius manually every few days.  Is there a  way I can get it updated all at once?
    Thanks

    I'm on my 3rd one.
    First one got stuck at apple logo restored too many times and I gave up for an exchange.
    Second one had cracks at the bottom near the connector and dust under the glass
    Third one now still have some dust under the glass but not as noticeable, so probably I'll keep that one.
    But all three of them have crashed and get stuck at Apple Logo. Bad 3G reception, and unstable Apps.
    This is my first Apple product, and probably will be the last! Apple you need to have better quality control and more field testing and debug your software. I know you are in a hurry to compete with Google Android but you forget the most important thing, it's a communication device! Can't reset the phone when stuck at Apple logo without using iTunes is ridiculous! This is the most unstable PDA phone I have ever used!!!!!! Even Microsoft's Windows Mobile are far better and stable than your iPhone weak 3G.

    My question to those reading this. How many more posts do you think it will take for the issue to really be fixed? 100??
    You need to know that this isn't a support forum.  It was created by Verizon as a place for customers to help each other.  You can post all you want, but Verizon doesn't respond to issues here.  If you want to get a message to Verizon you need to call or chat with them.
    Occasionally, the Verizon moderators will escalate specific customer issues to their support team, but I wouldn't count on any posts here resulting in any action from Verizon.  Note that the strongest message you can send Verizon is to send them less or zero money as a result of downgrading or canceling your service.
    Now, if you'd like help from other users post some details.  There are a bunch of helpful people lurking here just waiting to jump in.  But you have to give us a real issue and not a complaint about Verizon.
    Good Luck.

  • How many times will I have to exchange this 3G iPhone?

    July 11th - Waited 6 hours in line like a tool to get 3G Black iPhone 16 gig.
    July 12th - Exchanged iPhone because of NO VIBRATION
    August 15th - Exchanged iPhone because of hairline cracks forming at heaphone jack, vibration switch and bottom corner.
    3rd iPhone has a light leak on left side, "bubbles" in plastic housing and a HUGE dust speck in the center of the screen.
    So I guess I'll be heading back to get my 4th iPhone 3G, but I'm about ready to give up.
    What number iPhone are you on?
    The only good thing about Apple is that their Geniuses have been really nice.

  • FCPX how many times can it install on the same computer?

    From time to time I like to wipe the drives and start afresh or, whenever there is a new OS, I will perform a clean install. This entails wiping the drive and reloading all software. Most of the apps have 'de-authorize' function, this allows me to use the same licence number for the next re install.
    Any idea how FCPX would install after say, four five drive refreshes? Can it understand that it is no longer resident on any machine?
    Please note: I do understand how many machines I can install on at one time. This is not the same.

    You can install FCPX as many time you wish

  • HT1414 How many times can you attempt the restrictions passcode?

    I forgot the restriction code, I already tryed 9 times and the TIME you have to wait after the fifth try is increased like crazzy.

    That is a security measure. If the device is being tampered with, the longer the "tamperer" has to wait, the more likely they are to become discouraged and give up.
    I think that you get 10 attempts, but I can't swear to that having never been in that position. In any event, you will probably have to restore to factory settings if you want to be able to use the iPad again. You cannot restore from a backup - unless that backup does not have the restrictions passcode in it. If it does not have the passcode in it, then restoring from that backup will eliminate the passcode.
    If you have to restore, you have to use iTunes on a computer, since you cannot get into the settings.

  • How many times does apple care replace a iphone

    i had my phone replaced 2 times already for cracked screen and wondering if i can go again to get it a new one i have apple care!

    Apple Care does not cover damage to the phone at all... AppleCare + will cover 2 incidents of damage with a $49 per incident deductible.
    If Apple replaced your phone when it had a broken screen and didn't charge you for it, you were very very lucky.

  • How many times will internal table get filled?

    Dear BW / ABAP gurus:
    I am observing a routine in a transformation in 7.0 data flow.
    The internal table is created as follows in the global declaration in the Start Routine:
    TYPES:  BEGIN OF ST_PROD,
              /BIC/AZPROD TYPE /BIC/OIAZPROD,
              /BIC/AZCOST TYPE /BIC/OIAZCOST,
            END OF ST_PROD.
    DATA: IT_PROD TYPE TABLE OF ST_PROD,
          WA_PROD TYPE ST_PROD.
    The programmer is fetching data for product cost which is not available in the source. This code is written in the Start Routine:
    SELECT /BIC/AZPROD /BIC/AZCOST
      FROM /BIC/PAZPROD
      INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE IT_PROD
      WHERE OBJVERS = 'A'.
    My questions:
    (1) Is it a standard practice to create the internal table in the global declaration?
    (2) Is it a standard practice to fill the internal table with data in the Start Routine? Is it possible to fill the internal table with data in the global declaration? Or is the global declaration only reserved for declaring variables and creating internal tables?
    (3) What is the use of 2nd part global?
    (4) Let's say there are 100, 000 records at the source and the DTP package size is 50,000. Then the Start Routine will get executed 2 times. So the code in the Start Routine will hit the database 2 times to fill the internal table. Is this correct?
    Note to mods: Please do not delete the thread. Move to the beginner section if you think this is basic. But please do not delete. It take a long time to type out the questions.

    hi Saurav,
    (1) Is it a standard practice to create the internal table in the global declaration?
    1. No ,internal table should be created in global part only if they are getting used in field level or end routine .Else they must be in local part and should get refreshed at the end  so that performance not get affected.
    (2) Is it a standard practice to fill the internal table with data in the Start Routine? Is it possible to fill the internal table with data in the global declaration? Or is the global declaration only reserved for declaring variables and creating internal tables?
    1.No if only you want to use the data in field level routine and start routine ,you will fill table in start routine otherwise no .
    2.first global part is for data declaration so no in first global part select cannot come .
    3.Second global part can have select but you cannot write any statement using source package or result package here as they are private object of transformation class and not recognized at this area.However simple select on any table other than these will be fine .
    (3) What is the use of 2nd part global?
    1.In second global part you can declare internal table ,structures that are not of type source package or result package but independent and can use them .
    2.If you will declare these table in first global part they will be private object and you cannot write select using them in second global part .
    3.Second global part is also declaration but outside the class so these objects are global across transformation with more flexibility .
    4.If you will declare any data here using the structure of source /result package you will get error .This is a data declaration part comes between transformation definition and implementation part .
    (4) Let's say there are 100, 000 records at the source and the DTP package size is 50,000. Then the Start Routine will get executed 2 times. So the code in the Start Routine will hit the database 2 times to fill the internal table. Is this correct?
    yes the source and result package are actually the DTP packages only so code will get executed same no of time as you have number of packages in DTP extraction .
    Hope this will be helpful .

  • How many times can I reinstall ipod to same computer?

    I've had continual problems with my computer over the last few years that I've had my ipod and have had to wipe the hard drive several times. When I reinstall my ipod this time, I will be on number 4. I remember reading somewhere that you can only reinstall the same ipod 5 times. Is that correct? Is there any way to get around this or will I be forced to buy a whole new ipod? Why do they do this anyway?

    iPods are not installed on to a computer.
    You just use them.
    Any songs which you have purchased thru iTunes can be authorized to be played on 5 different computers at any one time. The authorized computers can be changed by deauthorizing one to use a different one.
