HT4528 has anyone been led into the middle of the woods by apple maps???

we were moving cross country and were led off of the interstate into a wooded subdivision that had NO business having a 26' uhaul on their roads. Luckily a home owner came out to ask us what we were doing there. Told them we were lost and he led us to town and a motel. I about went off a cliff, and the uhaul about rear ended me over the edge. All because of Apple Maps on my brand NEW apple iPhone 5c that was only days old. We were in a different state, city and town with three kids four dogs and it was dark. I talked with my family about this and apparently I am not the only one who has had problems with Apple Maps. It's a common problem. BEWARE of your use of APPLE MAPS!!!

And beware of any other GPS map as well as they are not 100% accurate either; espcially in rural areas. Why people blindly follow a GPS instead of being aware of their surroundings and using common sense is beyond me.

Has anyone been able to get a repair/proper fix from Apple for their LCD?

The more I use my Macbook Pro while traveling the more i notice the 'sparkly/grainy' display. Compared to the White/Black Macbook it is obviously noticable what i'm talking about - especially on white backgrounds. My question is - has anyone been able to get a proper repair/fix for this common problem for the Core 2 Duo 15" Macbook Pro's?
I normally have my Macbook Pro connected to an external display but when i do take it along when I travel it stands out more and more every time.
Is Apple going to issue a 'recall/repair' for their customers who bought their Macbook Pro's? What am I to do here, When i need to use my laptop when I travel I can't take the annoyance of using this LCD screen.

Yes, I can CLEARLY see it, it's like wearing glasses that are filthy. The laptop is one week old and I could see it from after the 802.11n upgrade. This is not all that zoomed, really. To me it looks like a video memory problem, not a LCD problem. The problem is the same if I connect an external DELL monitor. Also very visible there. Also very visible if I change resolutions or number of colours. The main reason I believe it's a video memory thing is that when I move a window, it changes from white to, well... yellow and red. Check out: http://niklas.saers.com/MBP/MG8665.jpg That is why I am unsure if this is the kind of grain you are talking about. Can you confirm that this is the kind of problem you guys are seeing?
PS, I use a Canon 20D with a 100mm f/2.8 macro lens.

Has Anyone Been Charged for the RSD Repair?

In all the talk about the MacBook's RSD (Random ShutDown) problems, I haven't read anything about a repair fee. It always struck me as a faulty unit that Apple was fixing to make it as it should be. (That is, the "problem" isn't a result of anything the user did.)
When I dropped off my MacBook at my local Apple Store, it was quickly checked by someone at the Genius Bar. He confirmed that it was shutting down (mine does it pretty consistently) and set up a repair to replace the Heatsink Kit. I signed the work order and left the store.
Once I got home and read the work order more carefully, I see that there are prices listed for the parts and labor (the total adds up to $149.06). But next to that it says "Amount Due," and it says $0.00.
I just want to verify that I won't need $150 with me when I pick up my MacBook. Has anyone had to pay for their RSD repairs?

My heat sink was also replaced but the next day the computer refused to boot...only a frozen screen with a million stripes of colored lines. I took it back to authorized reseller and they reset PRAM and upgraded to 10.4.8 operating system and charged me nearly $200 usd! I've been arguing with Apple Norway (I live in Oslo) and the authorized reseller. They blame each other and no one refuses to reimburse me. Reseller says, "Apple Care does not cover software issues. It was a software problem. Go talk to Apple."
I posted on this forum too:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=695953&tstart=0
So be careful of a frozen screen or any other software problems!

Has anyone been phished by the Fake Add On (extension) Sure Shot Pro?

Tonight Firefox opened to the Update page for my extension, Sure Shot (screen saver) which is now available in Sure Shot Pro, a upgraded version of the same FIrefox extension with applicability on other browsers. I was offered a 30 day trail and a free security scan for Microsoft products before I downloaded anything.
(Boy, in these days it's great to find a company like SureShot that reminds me to do a scan before downloading ANYTHING--especially after an update to my broswer! Thanks Sure Shot.)
And I swear that's how it happened...about an hour ago. Sure Shot Pro even provided me with 2 screen shots while I was reading!
The only problem is...well actually there are a few. The first is, I don't have an extension on Firefox that takes screen shots,. I do on the other browsers I use because I need to have one. But there is not an adequate on in Firefox. Nonetheless, a quick glance up to the tool bar area showed the '''S''' (the icon for Sure Shot) glowing Hot Pink up on the left. I just took my time...did use IDM for the screen shot, which was of their screen shot and edited it right on line saying I did believe them to be cheats, liars and scum. I then opened the Problem Steps Recorder from Microsoft for Windows 7, a program that records in screen shots, while a User recreates the steps he or she takes to solve a problem or do something that is not working. I took photos of the Sure Shot Pro site...which is that same cheap looking font that must be a classic Estonian typeset. The edit page was a tacky ripoff of of any HTML editor you'd like to mention. The icons for the various browsers were the best indicator that these jerks probably do fool a few fools, all probably under 4 years of age who just bang on the keyboard. The artwork--or rather lack of it--depicting the Fire Fox was lame--they all were. But don't kid yourself, these guys did their homework. I opened my Add Ons page and found Sure Shot, sure as sh#t listed as one of my extensions...that Add On Page looked almost exactly like the real thing. I actually thought I was seeing my own extensions...but they screwed up on the coloring of he page itself.
On the off chance that you are not 4 and not banging on the keyboard but are actually an adult like me who has been taken in the past...THIS IS NOT REAL. Exit Firefox, go back in Safe Mode...or just go back as usual but open Firefox and go directly to TOOLS>Add Ons and check your Add Ons and Get Add Ons...this is where they spent a lot of time making everything look very very realistic. You could easily make the decision to try the software for 30 days after checking your Add Ons and "remembering" that you must have forgotten that you chose a screen saver add on at some point in the past...Because there it is on your list...the list provided by Firefox, not some website! Right? Please, if you find this extension, REMOVE it. Don't just Disable it...and don't do their scan before downloading anything ...their scan'' is '' a download and with it comes the malware it holds. Report sites that are phisihing you. It is hard to believe July 9th is so close with well over 1/4 million owners of computers have the DNS malware that could cause them to lose access to the internet next month AND THEY DON'T KNOW THEY KNOW IT!

Laptop just goes off sometimes several times a day. It has always been plugged into the wall.

This problem has been happening in the last several weeks. It has a cooler under it, but will do this even with the cooler on or off. Could the power source plug be getting bad????

Just taking a stab here but do you have IPv6 enabled? Many of us had a problem with our RG rebooting throughout the week when IPv6 was enabled (which is the default setting). Disabling IPv6 has resolved that issue for me and some others. If you are using the NVG-589, you can change this setting by going to Home Network menu, then Configure menu on the router.

Has anyone ever plugged into the airport express to get online?

Want to plug my xbox 360 into the airport express to get online so I don't have to move anything around.
Right now my modem & router is in bedroom, & the airport express is in the living room (w/xbox and speakers) to extend wireless signal and throw music to speakers in living room.
I can move it, just lazy and then won't be able to use speakers, and don't want to buy xbox wireless adapter.....
It's already a bridge, it would make sense that I could plug in? maybe not ;}

If you have the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) set up as a remote base station in a WDS configuration, then, yes, you can connect the Xbox 360 to the AX's Ethernet port for Internet connectivity. If it's setup as a wireless client, then no.

Has anyone tried changing the drummer on a drummer part that has already been placed into a track stack?

Has anyone tried changing the drummer on a drummer part that has already been placed into a track stack?
I find that if I do that, the parts in the stack all get merged together with no way to expand them (ie the triangle you would click on to expand the stack disappears).
I believe this is a bug, and wonder if anyone else has encountered it?

Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets. then it names the file as an m4p file. Everything works beautifully on the iPad through Preview, and validates through iTunes Producer up until the attempted upload. If you've been able to accomplish this, please let me know how you prepared your audio files. Many thanks.

Hello Fellow iBook Authors!
Today I received the same error that you all have been discussing. I tried selecting the DRM
and this did not work for me, though I'm glad it did for some. Here's what I did as a work-around. . .
Since iBooks Author did not have a problem with Videos, I simply used one of my video programs, ScreenFlow to turn the audio into a video file m4v. I added an image and extended the length or timing of the image to span the length of the audio file. Then exported as an .mov. I then opened QuickTime and opened the file and exported the file to iTunes.
You can use iMovie, Camtasia or any other progam that will allow you to export the audio as a movie file. Does this make sense? I hope this helps, at least in the short-term.

Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash. How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder? I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash. How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder? I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password. I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes. Please help.

When I plug my iPhone 4s into my PC, I get an error message that says iTunes needs a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. It wants me to uninstall both the AMDS and iTunes and then reinstall iTunes. Has anyone else run into this problem recently?

When I plug my iPhone 4s into my PC, I get a message that says iTunes needs a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. It wants me to uninstall both the AMDS and iTunes and then reinstall iTunes. iTunes won't recognize my phone and so I can't synch it. Has anyone else run into this problem recently and how did you resolve it? Thanks!

Thank you both. I suppose I should have prefaced my question with the concern that I've read a number of other posts from people who have had a similar issue and when they tried to follow the directions, they ran into a multitude of other problems. As you might imagine, I'm hoping to avoid the creation of new problems as I try to solve this one. Thanks again.

I would like to put Dreamweaver 8 on a new computer. There is no "deactivate" function and the technical support person I chatted with recommended I come here. Can I just use the serial number again? How can I deactive? Has anyone else run into this?

There is no "deactivate" function and the technical support person I chatted with recommended I come here. Can I just use the serial number again? How can I deactive? Has anyone else run into this? How can I get Dreamweaver 8, which is no longer being activated by Adobe, on a new computer? Is it even worth doing or do I need to get a new version. What are the killer features I'm missing?

If you manage to get it installed on your current OS, don't forget to install the 8.02 update.

Has anyone been able to internet share when the internet source is a verizon USB modem?

I'm on a macbook 3,1 running OSX 10.6.8
internet is coming from a verizon USB modem/dongle model UMW190.
I have gone through the steps for internet sharing - created a network, etc.
My other devices (a roku box and an ipad) are able to see the wifi network i created. prompts for a password, and i'm able to connect with great signal strength, but no internet!
Tried every problem solving suggestion i could find on the messageboards.
No firewill. Changed the IP address. restarted, etc etc.
nothing can seem to get my internet working on the other devices.
If i leave it to automatic, the IP address i get starts with 169. and a message reads
"AirPort has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.156.212 and will not be able to connect to the Internet."
Could this be because the internet is coming from a USB dongle? Is my computer too old?
Has anyone been able to get their internet sharing working using a verizon USB dongle?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Update: For the heck of it, i tried connecting using my ipod touch - and it works! able to connect to the network and get on the internet.
(that was after i changed the IP from automatic 169 to the IP address of the USB modem.)
The ipad still won't connect (i'm told it may be due to a WEP non-compatibility)
and i'm not sure what's up with the Roku...
but it does work on one device.
