I gave my macbook pro 13' to this guy to fix it and he is taking more than 3 weeks to repair it, I just wanna know if its appropriate to take so long to fix the problem that he claims

So I sent my macbook pro to a nearby macbook repair person because it was too slow, everytime I click on something, the rainbow wheel will appear and it will take like a few minutes to open up a window. Also, my videos were stucked whenever I played them in VLC etc but when I use my external hard disk to play the video, it will be okay. So I sent to this guy explaining all the problems I am facing with my macbook, then he claimed that he could do it within a day as its probably just the hard disk problem or if its the processor(2days). And now its been 3 weeks and he is still fixing my macbook, he told me it was the bios and he needs sometime to do it as he needs to be very careful. I dont know if I should believe him, its been more than 3 weeks now? I just wanted to know if what he is saying is logic and if it is, does it really take so long to fix the bios?
p/s I've increased the RAM to 8gb 1600Mhz Ddr3 recently thinking that was the problem but obviously it didnt fix my problem Help me out
Thank youuu.

Mac's do not have a BIOS to flash. Get your Mac back before this situation gets worse. Then take it to an Apple Store. You will have to pay.
FYI
"p/s I've increased the RAM to 8gb 1600Mhz Ddr3 recently"
You fitted the wrong Ram, you will need to change it for the right Ram when you get it back.

My brother-in-law recently passed away. My sister gave his MacBook Pro to my niece. When she opens and starts the laptop, it shows my brother-in-laws name. Is there a way to change his name to her name without formatting the device and starting over?

BigTex415,
my condolences for your family’s loss. If all she seeks to do is to change the display name, and she’s willing to leave the account name unchanged, then she could do the following: log in as the administrative user and open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences. If the padlock in the lower-left corner is locked, unlock it. Select the account that shows your brother-in-law’s name on the left-hand side of the window, and then on the right-hand side, change the text in the “Full name” textbox to her preferred display name. If desired, click on the padlock in the lower-left corner to relock it.

Do you know how to remove idownloadblog from a MacBook Pro? Someone installed it on my computer and now I have tons of popups

Someone installed idownloadblogs on my MacBook Pro. Now it is having pop ups and I can seem to find it to uninstall it. Does anyone know how to remove it?
Thank you,

I am not familiar with "idownloadblogs" but read the following to determine if Apple's recovery procedure will work for you: How to install adware. Scroll toward the end to find it.

[svn:fx-trunk] 10214: This fixes the problem that if two text components share the same textFlow there is an infinite loop involving updateDisplayList - damageHandler - invalidateDisplaylist - back to updateDisplayList.

This fixes the problem that if two text components share the same textFlow there is an infinite loop involving updateDisplayList -> damageHandler -> invalidateDisplaylist -> back to updateDisplayList. The bug file was for TextArea which is RET but the same bug was in RichText as well.
This example with a renderer exposed it because the typicalItem that is composed to figure out sizes and the actual first item in the list share the same textFlow. It actually has nothing to do with useVirtualDisplay other than it was sharing a textFlow.
It turns out that the TextFlowFactory dispatches damage events every time the textFlow is composed. Unlike when the flowComposer is used, it always considers the flow damaged. It was exacerbated by each of the two components having a damage handler for the same textFlow.
The solution is to use the textFlow generation number. In the damageHandler if the generation is the last known generation number, assume no changes, and return immediately from the damage handler.
QE notes: There are 1 TextArea, 6 TextInput and 2 NumericStepper failuers, with or without my changes. The common link seems to be DispatchKeyEvent. Most were testing maxChar, displayAsPassword and restrict. I tested these and they seem to be working correctly.

HT1386 I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New song that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?

I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New songs that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?

Hey Etti101,
I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.
via: Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

Pearson put out a tech note on this today - the new versions of Java are what's causing the problem. If you can use Time Machine to rollback java prior to a java 7 or 1.6.0_37 version that will get you going again. I've been searching for hours for a place to download the older version but it seems Apple's site and Oracle all only have the latest release. Still trying to see if I have a copy downloaded on a system that hasn;t been updated to copy off to a network drive or usb and install the older version on to systems.
PowerSchool Tech Notes
PowerTeacher Gradebook and recent Mac OS X Java update
An update to Java for Mac OS X was released on October 16, 2012. An issue has been identified with this Java update (Java for OS X 2012-006) which prevents teachers from launching PowerTeacher Gradebook.
Teachers using PowerTeacher Gradebook should avoid taking this Java update to version 1.6.0_37 until notified that PowerTeacher Gradebook has been certified with this latest version of Java 1.6 for Mac OS X. PowerTeacher Gradebook will continue to work on Mac OS X workstations with Java version 1.6.0_35.
Additional communication will be provided once a workaround is identified or an updated version of PowerTeacher Gradebook is available.

Apple TV not recognizing with 2011 Macbook Pro? Try this, possible fix!!!

Ok so we all know there is compatibility issues with previous devices working with the brand new MBP notebooks. One device especially are Blackberry phones, they just do not work because the software used on them was designed around 32bit OS. Now with the new Macbook Pro computers they run a complete 64Bit OS and it is up to everyone even Apple to update their software to work with it (you are going to wait a bit because it does take time to develop working products!). So let's try this, and please give feedback if this works or not because I am curious if it is as simple as this:
(By the way this will ABSOLUTELY work for your Blackberry not being recognized by brand new MBP notebooks!)
-Shut down the computer
-When the computer is shut down hold down the number keys "3" + "2".
-While holding those keys press the power button just to turn on the computer and KEEP HOLDING the keys until the Apple Logo and spinning gear is gone.
-Congrats you have now booted up into 32Bit mode for OS X 10.6! Yay.
Now try to synch with Apple TV. Hopefully it is as simple as this otherwise a lot of people are having a whole lot of networking issues! I honestly think this may resolve your issue as I read that a lot of people can still view the Apple TV on their old computers but just not their new ones :X Good luck!

I am not having the issue, this was a general post to try to potentially help people that are experiencing this issue. Just from experience and deducing from some of the posts I have read about the issue this seemed like the logical first step to fixing the issue. Most likely it is not IPv6 because IPv4 is still the default IP address, most router will only use IPv4 currently. And I can still see my Apple TV with IPv6 enabled .
Turning IPv6 off would honestly have no effect on this issue just because they most likely are already connected to the internet and browsing they just cannot connect to their Apple TV. But thanks for yur response!

I work for the County and we purchased a copy of Adobe Photoshop CS2 long ago. The person that did the order is no longer here. All I have is the CD Disk that is new but i did not know the key code is. Is there a way to get the keycode for this?

It would not work anyway. The activation servers have been retired and Adobe has provided a new CS2 download along with a new serial number for CS2 owners.

If you double tap the home button, and then swipe your finger to the right, make sure you DO NOT have the Lock Orientation button enabled.
You know it is disabled if there is no padlock in the middle of the icon.

hello I'm from mexico and I have the problem that my ipod touch 5g load not ..... I've been reading and this may in total discharge because I trying it a week and I have not been able to load what do I do? please help

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar
