HT203254 MBP Nvidia not fully fixed - Apple, please, company image at stake here

I have a case opened regarding a MBP 2008, NVidia error as stated by others. I have opened a ticket to Apple and they also claim that even AHT shows a VideoAdapter Hardware error, they say that the recall is for the NVidia "specific test" that they do. I particularly will try to show to them that there is no point delaying the replacement of the failing components, bacause this is the right thing to do when you are a big company and you expect to have better (and pricy) hardware with a theoretical better lifetime. I have older (and newer MBP) and this one failed. Not sure if this the start of a sequence of frustrations on Apple HW. I hope the Apple Support team keep an eye on this post and all other complains and just fix the customer request. nVdia may be good but they should simply put the dolars aside and think on the product image and fix all and every computer that shows defective under "close" relatonship to the problem. I do not believe they can state that half of the chip failed bacause of manufacturing and the other half due to regular use. This is insane and we (the customers) paid a LOT for high quality devices, which is not the case. I just hope that the Company IMAGE is also worth preserving. My contact information is [email protected]

This is one of them times I should have wrote down what steps i had completed and had not, I reread the information on this page, http://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title … on_Startup. Obviously i missed a vitel step while i was half asleep a few nights ago... Anyway This is solved.
P.S. I will be getting a refurbished Dell Latitude e7440 next week and I will be playing with it and a pure Arch experiance, can't wait. Catch you later.

    If your MacBook shipped with an install disc you'll have to use that. If it didn't you should be able to use Internet Recovery OS X: About OS X Recovery
    EXactly which macbook do you have?

  • Ipod not connecting again, apple please read this.

    First let me state that I made posts awhile back about my Ipod touch not being able to be recognized by itunes at all and just as a camera by windows. Now every single guide did nothing to help and the FEW people that posted had posted things I already did that did not help.
    HOWEVER the version of Itunes that was prior to the one I just downloaded connected PERFECTLY with no issues.
    But I just updates and wouldnt you know it, the connection problem is BACK. Apple please read this, the last version of Itunes had something different with how it connected to the Ipod...PLEASE bring that back, its so inconvenient not being able to connect to my own Ipod
    If someone wants to post a reply that might help feel free...but everything on this website and even a few others not posted here have not worked, this is mostly me praying that Apple reads it...that tiny difference on how it connected made a huge difference with my computer.

    Thanks. I worked out a simpler method of turning off the internet access - just switching off my wireless modem. Either way, this works and with the PC not connected to the internet, all three Apple devies will sync.
    Thinking about it now, I had a similar problem a few versions ago which I recognised because with Home Sharing on and connected to the internet iTunes was trying to find files from someone in another hotel room who also sharing the hotel's wireless network. My devices would not sync then either. This seemed to be resolved with subsequent itunes upgrades until now ....
    Thanks for the advice. Let's hope Apple's next 'update' actually updates itunes so it can sync Apple devices whilst simultaneously connected to the internet (not a big ask really).

  • HT203254 This does not work. Apple refused to repair my notebook though I applied for the the repair before 4-year period has expired. I am very frustrated with Apple and its quality and support.

    4-year period expired on 12-th of December.
    I have applied to an official Apple service on 4th of December with this problem with nvidia-8600 chip that was confirmed by the official Aplpe service.
    I have a document that confirms the purchase date.
    It was sent to Apple by the official service and they refused.
    What we have is that Apple does not respond to obligations and all it declares can be considered as lie.

    The details:
    Repair Confirmation Number: G141323406
    Serial Number: W8******YJX
    Reason for cancellation: Part is out of range, It does not qualify for quality program.

  • MBP will not connect to internet PLEASE HELP;)

    I have a MBP that will not connect to the internet. The airport shows an ip, but shows failed for internet and server. I have another laptop, desktop, ipad 2&3, iphone and 3 ipods connected to wifi and work flawlessly. I called the ISP and spoke with them for about 2 hours and they say all settings are right, and they can even see the MBP on their end.  Can someone please help me, thanks in advance.
    Wanted to add, i cannot connect with ethernet either, wired directly to modem by bypassing router.

    Your MacBook Pro does "see" your router, so it's either a problem with the passphrase (in this case, Ethernet shouldn't be affected, but it is), and you can bypass it by entering your passphrase again, preceded by the "$" sign (no quotes), or for some reason the MAC addresses of both your Airport and Ethernet chips on the MacBook Pro aren't cleared by the router. If you have MAC filtering enabled on the router, disable it, or if you must press some handshake button on the router, first disable Airport on your MBP, then presss the handshake button on the router, then enable Airport on the Mac again.
    My money's on the MAC address filtering, though... There could be a certain number of possible MAC addresses the router can accept, and adding new devices in the household may have pushed your MBP out of the winners list somehow.

  • Image from PNG is not fully downloaded and part of Image is black

    Hi,
    I have quite slow Internet connection (sth like 3kB/s). In my application I create ImageIcon (and then Image from it) from an URL.
    Sometimes when I download quite big PNG images (sth like 400 kB) the download process made by internal JVM methods breaks up. All my methods finish properly, but suddenly I get an error:
    java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
         at java.lang.System.arraycopy(Native Method)
         at sun.awt.image.PNGFilterInputStream.read(PNGImageDecoder.java:830)

    and part of the image downloaded is totally black.
    Is there a way I can somehow catch this exception or change the code:
    Image img = (new ImageIcon(url)).getImage();
    so I'm sure that the whole image is downloaded?
    jacek

    Hiya Jacek,
    Try using java.awt.MediaTracker to download the image. The javadocs give an example how to use it to ensure the app waits for the image to be fully downloaded.
    Cheers,

  • Wrong CD Titles Displayed THIS IS A BUG IN OSX APPLE PLEASE FIX

    I've been having this same problem for YEARS. Can comeone at Apple please address this issue? Here's what happens. I load a custom CD that has never been in the machine before and it should just display this CD as "title" or some other generic notation. Instead, the operating system displays the CD NAME OF THE LAST CD I BURNED. The system also ASSIGNS THE TRACK NAMES OF THE LAST CD BURNED. The tracks will continue to be mislabeled when importing into a digital editor. WHY HASN'T APPLE FIXED THIS? This has been going on since 10.2.8 fercrissakes.
    Where is CD title information stored? I've gone through my ~/Library/Cache folder and couldn't find anything there.

    The information is stored in "CD Info.cidb" in your preferences folder.
    It will also look on the internet if the option is enabled in the "Importing" tab of iTune's "Advanced" preference.
    It looks up the track names based on the combination of all the track lengths. If you make more than one CD with the track lengths the same, it will think they are the same CD.

    I am attaching how we documented the process in our troubleshooting guide.  Graphics were not pasted.
    21.3       Manually run IDOCs reported as 52.
    It is possible that IDOCs are found in status 52 for the daily updates.   In principle IDOCs 52 can not be re-proceeed, but there is a way to push the appropriate data from a source system, e.g. ERP.    Following is the process.
    21.3.1     You find IDOCs in status 52 in WE02.
    21.3.1     Open table EDIDS.
    Perform 2 searches for parameter STAPA2 and STAPA1 in status 52 and download the entries for each column to an MS Excel file.
    21.3.2     Adjust the MS Excel file.
    The strings STAPA2 and STAPA1 have to be truncated and separated into 3 different fields for processing:  First 2 characters are the Plan Number, next 2 the Object Type, and next 8 the Object Number.
    21.3.3     Manually process the entries via transaction PFAL from the source system, e.g. ERP.
    The entries must be processed in the following order sorting by Object Name:
    u2022     STAPA2s first, then STAPA1s.  
    u2022     Each organized by O, S, P, C, and CP.
    21.3.3.1     Running individually for each entry.
    By running PFAL with the individual entries:  Plan number, Object Type, Object Number,  Update mode,  Target Logical System name  ... the respective IDOC will be passed to target system for processing.
    21.3.3.2     If there are many entries for processing.
    If there are many STAPA2 and STAPA1 for processing.
    u2022     Create a text file like the one below with the entries as mentioned above.
    u2022     Logon into the source system and make sure CATTs are allowed..
    u2022     Via SCAT, create a CATT that emulates the execution of PFAL entering Plan number, Object Type, Object Number, Update mode,  Target Logical System name  ... the respective IDOCs will be passed to the target system for processing.
    . Create the text file with the entries.
    .  Execute the CATT ... the respective IDOCs will be passed to target system for processing.

  • Bind variable not fully enabled

    Hello to everyone.
    I'm debugging a VBA macro with the following code:
    Dim qry_1 As String
    OraDatabase.Parameters.Add "ext_var1", UserForm3.TextBox1.Text, 1
    qry_1 = "begin SELECT max(name) into :clinom FROM sap_customers WHERE & " cust_number = :ext_var1; end;"
    OraDatabase.Parameters.Add "clinom", 0, ORAPARM_OUTPUT
    While executing the last code line i'm receiving the following message:
    OIP-04122:Bind variable not fully enabled
    Can please anyone tell me what am i doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance.
    Octavio

    ORAPARM_OUTPUT isnt defined in vbscript. You need to either define it, or replace it with the defined value like you did with the other parameter.
    ORAPARM_OUTPUT = 2
    Hope it helps

  • Some shows purchased from itunes do not show on Apple TV

    I've downloaded and purchased via iTunes a few kids tv shows. These shows do not show up on my apple Tv. They are marked to sync in iTunes etc, but they still do not appear in Apple TV. any ideas?

    ok, here's an update as to the problems i was having. This had nothing to do with the software update. I figured out that when i unplug my iphone before my pc is ready to disconect it, I get an error... something to the effect of Apple mobile manager blah blah blah. If I reboot my computer I am able to sync. So, I guess the solution is to make sure my iphone is ready to disconnect before I actually disconnect it. Funny how that messes up the sync of the ATV. thanks winston for the insight.
