HT5455 Is It normal that my premium category 15" retina MBPs screen has ghosting issues, then I get declined from screen replacement?

Is It normal that my premium category 15" retina MBPs screen has ghosting issues, and I get declined from screen replacement?
I have purchased this hardware in Budapest for approximately 3000 usd. I was a bit shocked to see screen ghosting after a few days of use. The problem was getting worse but because I am a design consultant working mainly on my Mac I couldnt take a week off to leave It at an Apple service station.
Last week I was surprised to receive the information from the local Apple repair shop in Germany that my retina MBP that I bought 13 months ago was declined from screen replacement by Apple.
Considering the price of the product I find It unacceptable that I need to work on a defective product and see shadows every time I leave an Illustrator or InDesign window open for a short period of time.
Is there any way to resolve this issue? I wouldnt like to pay another 800 dollars just to replace a component on my defective Apple product.

Contact Apple Support directly.  In Germany the Expresslane or this number
0800 6645 451 will allow you to speak directly to someone from Apple.    Explain your situation.   Mind you, AppleCare and issues with Apple products like this have to occur without any user accidents or user installed parts to ensure that Apple will cover you.  If there was a user accident or installed part, you may be turned down.  If you have the original Apple parts, and did the installation yourself, replace it with the original parts very carefully following the directions on http://www.ifixit.com/ unless you can afford an authorized service provider to do it for you.  Since we don't speak for Apple here, being end users like yourself, that's why I say "may", as I've seen Apple handle these things on a case by case basis.  So hopefully you don't have any obvious damage that looks like it is user caused.   Good luck!

  • IMac either or has been remotely accessed, has malicious code, is hacked and/or all of the aforementioned or something that I have not yet researched. With my health issues, my Mac keeps me from thinking about the pain and disability I have. Thank you.

    Hello,
    I'm giving it one more chance and then Mac goes into trash. My iMac is either remotely accessed, perhaps malicious code, hacked and/or all of the aforementioned. I am not savvy in these areas. Please read some of the many symptoms and if you can assist me -- I am beyond grateful.  If you want to say it is my fault because I allowed somebody to use my computer or other nonsense please do not waste my time or yours. This is serious and has been going on for a period of time that is longer then I can remember!
    I have a neighbor, lives in my apartment building, 'had' physical access to my iMac.  Shortly after this I started to have problems that beyond any nightmare I have ever heard of - whether it be Windows or Apple!  Please feel free to ask me any question(s) that might help me rid my iMac of this malicious act as the police have been useless -- say they do not have equipment to check my Mac. FBI can't b bothered.
    It is more then clear that a person(s) has access and has messed up the OS, among other terrible things.  He took over my Facebook account months ago, posted as though he was me. He also prevented me from getting back into FB and Yahoo to close those connected accounts.  Went to an Apple store, under protection of their router and removed FB/Yahoo accounts.  The pages that were showing at home turned out to be fake pages controlled by him. (Think they are called "defaced").
    Anytime I did a 7X or zero out clean install -- he was there before I even hooked up the router!!!
    It came to a point that I can no longer even get to the erase/Utility/install from my apartment so I took it to Apple more then once. Besides erase/install, I turned off ALL Sys Preferences that could alert him to Mac. The last time I received a gray Install CD and was told to take it out of the building and do another erase/install.  There is no sense of going through this until I know if/how to get rid of him.
    Also when I first sign on I ALWAYS get a 192.168.100.11.  I do NOT have a router. I then go to System Preferences to Network and click "renew DHCP" several times before I get an IP addy!  I am not savvy in this area but do feel that this is a major clue.
    Passwords have been changed, master password is not something I can access which prevents me updating, etc., etc.
    I will not bombard you with every detail as that would take several pages. I am beyond desperate. Will be happy to provide further details to serious responders only.
    Thank you.

    If you really believe that your system has been compromised, here's what you do:
    Disconnect your Mac from your cable modem;
    Back up any documents on your system that are important to you;
    Boot your Mac from the system installation disks that came with it (insert the disk, restart your Mac, and hold down the "c" key until you get the "spinning gear" icon);
    Choose a language and click the arrow button to continue;
    From the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility;
    In Disk Utility, select your computer's hard drive;
    Click the "Erase" tab;
    Click the "Security Options" button and select to have it overwrite all the data on the hard drive;
    Click the "Erase" button and allow it to process;
    Once the "erase process has completed (it will take a while), reinstall Mac OS X.
    Or, if this is too much for you to accomplish on your own, take your system to an Apple Store and have them help you perform these steps. If your system was indeed compromised, this will remove any such hack. You can then set up a new user account for the computer, reinstall your applications (reinstall only from original disks or downloads from the company making the software) and documents, and reconnect to the Internet.
    Note that when you reconnect to the cable modem, you may still get an IP address starting with 198. This is normal with some cable modems and probably not a cause for concern. It will not be an indication that your system is still compromised; that will not be possible if you perform all the above steps.
    Regards.

    There's no such thing as "adobe standard file".  The file format is "PDF".
    If an email arrived with a PDF attached then save the PDF to the local machine's HDD.
    Use Acrobat Standard to open the PDF file.

  • New install of Horizon 6.1. It's normal that provisioning linked-clones will take a long time ?

    Hi,
    First, I will describe my installation :
    1 Management Server : Dell PowerEdge R730 48 cores, 2.5 Ghz with 9 HDD 300 GB SAS 15K (RAID 5) and 256 Gb RAM
    2 VDI Hosts server : Dell PowerEdge R730 48 cores, 2.5 Ghz with 9 HDD 300 GB SAS 15K (RAID 5) + 1 SSD 200 GB, 256 Gb RAM, 2 grid K1 cards
    1 LUN on an Dell Equallogic PS6110X (750 GB) where I put the masters.
    1 switch Dell N4032F (10 Gb)
    All server will have 4 ports 10Gb configured with NPAR (so, i have 6 x 10 Gb virtual nic for the storage and 6 virtual nic for the VM network) and 2 ports 1 Gb for the management.
    My master :  Windows 7 SP1 x86 optimized with 24 Go HDD Thin-Provisionned (2 vCPU, 2 Go RAM, VMXNET 3 network cards). There is none added application on this master.
    I can't apply the Microsoft patch for VMXNET 3 because it says that this patch is not applicable.
    I don't have VSAN because only 2 VDI hosts, so I configure my pool for each hosts with local storage for the linked clones and local SSD for the replica.
    When I run the provisionning of the desktop pool (17 VM):
    The clone of the replica (Equallogic ==> local SSD) will take 2'30".... That's good for me (113 MB/s... the Equallogic is also used for another server storage on other LUN)
    But the rest of all operation to finish the provisionning will take 40'.
    More than 50% of cores will mount to 100% CPU on the host.
    I have tried to change my RAID5 (9 hard disk + 1 spare) to RAID10 (10 HDD). It take 50'.
    And, when all operations are finished... I have 2 or 3 VM with the message : Agent Unreachable and 1 or 2 hangs on Provisionning.
    A recompose a one VM Desktop will take approximatively 1'30.
    My question : it's normal that the provisioning will take so much time ?
    And other question : when i'm connected to a VM Desktop with Horizon client during a pool provisioning, the VM freeze or i simply can't connect. Even if i have ready desktop. And sometimes, vCenter client will freeze to a lot of seconds during provisioning
    Have someone idea ?
    PS : Sorry for my approximate English ;-)

    Today, i have try to put the RAID in RAID 0.
    Result : always 50 minutes for provisioning.
    So, the problem is not the RAID...
    In vRealize Operation Manager, I see that i have latency in disk command and disk operation (up to 7000 ms !!!!).
    And in vCenter performance (all type of performance), I have a lot of blank graphics during 5 to 20 seconds in different steps.
    I don't know where were looking my problem...
    Any idea ?

  • I have an iPhone 4s just eight months, it is normal that the battery lasts only 3 hours? please help me thank you very much.

    I have an iPhone 4s just eight months, it is normal that the battery lasts only 3 hours? please help me thank you very much.

    Three hours if definitely NOT normal. I get at least 48 hours out my 2 year old iPhone 4S' battery with light usage. Did you do the iOS 7 update on the phone it self (OTA) or through iTunes? In my experience most problems are caused by the OTA updates. For this reason I ALWAYS update using iTunes on my computer.
    I would suggest restoring your phone using iTunes on your computer and setting it us as a new phone. This downloads a fresh copy of iOS 7.1 from Apple and installs it on your phone. Just make sure that you transfer all purchased items (apps, music, etc.) as well as photos to your computer before restoring as the restore will completely wipe your phone. Do not restore from a back-up. Yes, you will loose all your data on the phone but restoring a back-up can restore the problem you are currently having back to your phone. Once your phone has been restored you can manually sync back your apps and music.
    Before restoring you can also check to see that battery-killers like Location Services, Background App Refresh, etc are only turned on for the apps that really need it. I recently read and article that said that the Facebook app can be a real battery killer. If you have this app installed turn of location services and background app refresh for this app and see if that helps. Also go to Settings / General / Restrictions / Location Services / System Services and turn off all the options in that menu. Your phone does not need any of those to function. Constantly using your phone's GPS is a huge battery killer. I only have Location Services enabled for Find my iPhone and Background App Refresh is turned off completely.
    I hope this helps.

  • Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked.

    Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked. I have tried on a windows and a mac and noticed no change. I have tried restoring to a backup but that didn't help. I haven't had time to do a full restore but I will try if the problem persists.

    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • Is it normal that, when I try to share something on my iphone 5, be it via e-mail or textmessage, my keyboard is no longer touching the bottom of my screen, it 'floats' in the middle of my screen, making it impossible to choose the addressee?

    Dear fellow Apple owners,
    Is it normal that, when I try to share something on my iphone 5, be it via e-mail or textmessage, my keyboard is no longer touching the bottom of my screen, it 'floats' in the middle of my screen, making it impossible to choose the addressee?

    Has anybody seen this before?
    I had it in 6.1.2, 6.1.3 and 6.1.4
    All of them have the same problem...
    Does anybody have a solution?

    Hey StevenKusters,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities! First I would try backing up and erasing all content and settings, but if that doesn't resolve the issue you can use iTunes to restore your iOS device - part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.

  • Is it normal that a Mac Mini 1.6duo play back of HD 60 frame home video is shuddery / jerky ? is this just processor limits ?

    Is it normal that a Mac Mini 1.6duo play back of HD 60 frame home video is shuddery / jerky ? is this just processor limits ?
    I have a pansonic 14meg camera which shoots HD 1060 30 frame and 720 60 frame .
    I have been using the 720 6 frame .  Playback using on my camera is perfect , but when I download on to my Intel 1.6duo macmini play back is jerky ... is this just processor limitation or if Mini should be fine to play back (using Quicktime7) could it be file corruption / camera issue.
    I think it is just my old computer probably starting to struggle !
    Many thanks

    Couple of things:
    There is virtually no standardisation of video formats. The file suffix is if little use to use as, in the case of video, files are just containers for data streams encoded and decoded by Codecs. Pretty much every manufacturer has their own codecs for each and every camera. Put it this way: every Jpeg still is pretty much the same, as there is an agreed standard for that format. There is no such guarantee with avi, mov etc. That's why the model and format of the camera is important.
    This model was released in 2012, and you're trying to read data from this using a QuickTime 7, which predates that by a few years. Oddly, Snow Leopard came with QuickTime X, so I'm not sure what you've done there.
    iPhoto does not guarantee to import all video from all cameras. What cameras it does support are usually still cameras with a video add on. What you have is a camcorder and the correct app for importing and manipulating video from such a device is iMovie rather than iPhoto. It may be able to transcode it.

    Get rid of the tracking cookies. They are used to profile and track your browsing history. While they are privacy invading, by calling them spyware, MacScan is being a little dramatic in trying to sell you its crap. And in the future, for whatever browser you use, don't allow third-party cookies.
    To prevent tracking, get Ghostery. In addition to having Ghostery and forbidding third-party cookies, I clear out all cookies from one browsing session to another. If you always do that, you won't have any tracking cookies to worry about, so you won't need MacScan to find them for you. Btw, MacScan finds the tracking cookies in the first few minutes of scanning; if you want to use it for that, then that's all the time you need to run it for. But, as I said, you won't have any tracking cookies around if you just remove all cookies and don't allow third-party cookies. As soon as you visit a site that needs them, you'll just get new ones. No problem.
