How to switch from glossy to non-glossy screen (2010 model)

I will only have access to an Apple Store or AASP in the next week. In the mean time, I'm wondering if there's any reason to this:
I had a 2007 Macbook Pro 15" on Apple Care, which was close to expiring. The computer wasn't functioning properly, so I took it to an Apple Store and they tried to repair it. A few days later, I go back there and I get the news that my Macbook Pro won't even turn on anymore, so they give me the new 2010 Macbook Pro 15" as a free replacement. My old one had a matte (non-glossy) screen, but they informed me they didn't have any ones with matte screen to give to me at the time. Since I needed the computer on that day, I had to take one with a glossy screen home.
That happened on May. Now, I'm finally able to have access to an Apple Store, so I wonder how I can get my Macbook Pro to have a matte screen. I believe I have the right to have a matte screen, but it has been to long.

Hi Roberto,
This question can only be answered by Apple. This is a user-to-user forum and the question you're asking is related to the policies and procedures for unit replacements handled by Apple. Typically, from my experience, when Apple offers a unit replacement the one you get is... the one you get. If the matte screen was that critical, then you should have asked to have it ordered and waited.
Perhaps Apple can exchange your replacement computer (after 3 months), but again that question can only be answered by Apple.

  • Glossy or non-glossy display?

    Hello everyone. I am going to get a new macbook pro in a week and I am torn between the glossy and non glossy display. Can anyone share their experience with the glossy display and what is the general advice for someone in my position?
    Thanks for your help!

    Good morning,
    Stay away from the glossy displays, they are can be very hard on the eyes if even a small amount of light hit them due to the glare and reflection. Matte displays are considerably more friendly for Laptop machines due to their ability to manage glare.
    Hope this helps! 

  • Is there a way I can tell if I have glossy or non-glossy LCD screen?

    Hi,
    I bought my MacBook Pro about a year ago and I don't remember if I have a glossy or non-glossy LCD screen. Some people say you can look at it and tell, but I don't know what I am looking for. My invoice doesn't say.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks.

    I'm not aware of anything in the Hardware Profiler that will tell you which display you have. If you can see reflections on the screen (they are particularly visible if the display is showing something dark and there's something light behind you) then the screen is glossy. A matte display is like frosted glass so it won't show any clear reflections on it.

    Sounds like a problem for forums/support from the DB provider, as this problem is normally solved through some form of HA provided by the DB (or some cluster software, but still not Java) with, normally, a shared (virtual) IP address.

  • How to switch from text message to iMessage for 1 contact

    I have one friend with an iPhone who all of the sudden in my messaging has switched from iMessage to text messages with working WiFi on and stable, on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.2).  This is not a cellular or wifi issues, I guarantee, I am iMessaging other people without problem. She is also iMessaging other people without problem.
    I have tried all work arounds I've seen on the web including:
    -turning iMessage on and off, turning the phone on and off
    -deleting all conversation with her and then sending a new message
    -labeling the contact as an "iPhone" on my iPad (doesn't seem to switch label to  "iPhone" and "iPhone" is no longer available as a label on iPhone)
    -sending an iMessage on my iPad to her and then trying to use same message stream on the iPhone
    This is beyond ridiculous that there is no way to switch from text to iMessage, I know how to switch from iMessage to text when the "error" comes up that it can't be sent as in iMessage.  Any ideas?

    You didn't mention trying these two steps:
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
    ... which are listed as steps 4 and 5 near the middle of this article:

  • System PATH environment variable issue when user log off and log in or switch from admin to non-admin account

    Hi,
    Problem Description:
    After installing my new product version, when user does log-off and log in again into admin account
    or switch from admin account to non-admin account, PATH environment variable shows incorrect path of my product (previous product version’s path) using command prompt.
    It seems windows refresh issue during session changes (log off and log in / switch from Admin to
    Non-admin account).
    Why PATH environment variable is not refresh immediately after log off and log in again or Switch
    from admin to non-admin mode?. 
    Please see my thread for more details http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/445ab42c-bdff-405a-8d53-558e1b6c7d34/path-environment-variable-issue-when-user-logoff-and-login-or-switch-from-admin-to-nonadmin?forum=windowsgeneraldevelopmentissues

    Why PATH environment variable is not refresh immediately after log off and log in again or Switch
    from admin to non-admin mode?. 
    I wouldn't have any expectation of what you are doing to work the way you expect.  E.g. why is the %ABC% being replaced at all?  There is some help about this ambiguous scenario in the cmd help...
    /V:ON Enable delayed environment variable expansion using ! as the
    delimiter. For example, /V:ON would allow !var! to expand the
    variable var at execution time. The var syntax expands variables
    at input time, which is quite a different thing when inside of a FOR
    loop.
    /V:OFF Disable delayed environment expansion.
    So, what's the setting for the /V:  switch that your users would be using?  Perhaps you should be using the ! instead of the % for your ABC variable?
    Oh.  There's more below where I found that...
    Delayed environment variable expansion is NOT enabled by default. You
    can enable or disable delayed environment variable expansion for a
    particular invocation of CMD.EXE with the /V:ON or /V:OFF switch. You
    can enable or disable delayed expansion for all invocations of CMD.EXE on a
    machine and/or user logon session by setting either or both of the
    following REG_DWORD values in the registry using REGEDIT.EXE:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\DelayedExpansion
    and/or
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\DelayedExpansion
    to either 0x1 or 0x0. The user specific setting takes precedence over
    the machine setting. The command line switches take precedence over the
    registry settings.
    In a batch file the SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION or DISABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
    arguments takes precedence over the /V:ON or /V:OFF switch. See SETLOCAL /?
    for details.
    If delayed environment variable expansion is enabled, then the exclamation
    character can be used to substitute the value of an environment variable
    at execution time.
     So, I guess the essence of your "bug" will boil down to whether you
    need the feature to get the result you want and the
    truth of that first sentence but it certainly looks like a "can of worms" to me.   ; )

  • HT2589 How to switch from one store to a different one?

    I can't update the apps. There is a message saying that I need to switch from Philipines Store to the US Store.  This is the first time I have this message. I don't know how to change the stores. I have my account in US and I have always purchased from the US Store. I got the same message when I tried to download a new app. What should I do?

    Does your address and payment information on iTunes use a US address?
    iTunes Store > Sign In, and view your account.
    As I say if your address and payment information are US addresses then this is very odd. In that case contact iTunes Store Support and have them fix this.
    Start here:

  • How to switch from Bonjour to iMessage

    My iChat has changed from message to Bonjour.  I don't use Bonjour and I don't know how to change it back to message.  Please help. Steven

    your response doesn't help the overall problem. For anyone with no data plan and only using wifi like mel_222 and myself, the iphone will not be able to send a message to these people who the phone has recognized as having ios5 unless the phone has a wifi connection because it is an imesssage. I am having the same problem, hopefully someone will know how to switch it. Hopefully this clarifies for anyone who might be able to answer. Luckily I will have a data plan kick in in a week, but I am sure some people who buy the phone outright will be faced with this issue.

  • How to switch from Picasa to Aperture?

    Picasa for Mac does not perform too well with a large photo collection and I would like to try Aperture.
    How do I transfer my albums and starred images to Aperture?
    I have put hundreds of hours of work into my Picasa collection and don't want to loose it when moving to Aperture.

    Since this question has been sitting around for a full day without answer, I think I'll add my grain of salt, even if I do not use Picasa
    Here is a link you may find useful: Snow Leopard, Aperture 3, & Picasa Question?? Help!!! - Picasa Help
    Aperture does not support importing Picasa databases, only folders or iPhoto Libraries.
    So to import your Picasa Albums you will
    either have to export them to folders on your hard drive (perhaps separate folders for separate star tags) and import those to Aperture,
    or to make a detour to iPhoto: In iPhoto you can subscribe to a Photo Feed and so you could try to build an iPhoto Library by downloading your Picasa albums from a Photo Feed (http://www.tuaw.com/2009/07/24/ilife-101-switch-from-picasa-to-iphoto/). Once you have your Picasa albums in iPhoto you can import the iPhoto Library into Aperture.
    But whatever you will do to make the transition, be sure to create a working backup of your setup before you start. Importing to iPhoto or Aperture will create duplicates of your images, and since Picasa just references all images on your system and keeps scanning your system for new images, these duplicates may corrupt your Picasa albums.
    Good luck
