Apple supports most of their computer products for a 7 year period, could be that your IBook is well past any kind of help.Secondly parts are no longer being made for this machine and never will be again. Finally I find it hard to believe that nothing has been done with this for 6 years.Have you documented the reasons why you were turned down for repairs ? were the replaced Ibooks within a couple of months of warranty expiration? What model is your IBook ? At least if we knew what the model #, some of the more techy types could find out if there were any repair programs for your model.
Seems odd that you'd hang on to a non-working IBook for that long.

  • 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?

  • TS4611 I have just received my second MacBook Air 11" the Wifi connection keeps dropping. Also after 3 meters away it keeps searching for network! It is the second try and the same issue. Will Apple ever come up with a solution?

    I have just received my second MacBook Air 11" the Wifi connection keeps dropping. Also, after 3 meters away from the rooter it keeps searching for network! It is the second try and the same issues. Will Apple ever come up with a solution? There is a program pack for the connection issue but I cannot believe that this computer wifi keeps connected only while nearby the rooter!

    Applied this update?

    If the update is installed aready, you may have to wait until OS X 10.8.5
    update if and when it is relased.

  • I have moved all of my movies from "Search for - All Movies" folder thinking they were shortcuts to the trash folder by mistake.  Is there any way I can restore them to the right place on my system Note most are on an external hard drive. :(

    I have moved all of my movies from "Search for - All Movies" folder thinking they were shortcuts to the trash folder by mistake.  Is there any way I can restore them to the right place on my system Note most are on an external hard drive.

    You can drag them out of the trash folder to wherever you wish. There is no automatic way to restore them.
    If you have a recent backup of your computer (at the risk of preaching, everyone should have one), restore them from there.

    P.S. I have no clue what you did or why you have 44,000 on the external drive

    Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.

    I know any device could malfucntion but if it costs $40,000 to buy you could at least warn someone of the possible malfuctions. It makes the company look bad when a large amount of your devices act up and you "cant help them" if they dont pay extra. Im just saying.
    Sorry but that makes no sense at all.  How can they possible know what things will possible malfunction on your device?  Anything that they think is highly likely to malfunction they would have addressed in desiging and manufacturing the device in the first place, during development.  They've made and sold many millions of iPhones, and many of them have lasted years without any problems (I know, I've owned such iPhones personally).  So how could they possible know if yours was any more likely to develop any issues than any of those other trouble free ones?
    It's hardware - stuff sometimes breaks randomly.  No amout of money ever guarantees or even reduces the likelyhood of random product failures.
    Take it in to Apple and see about getting it fixed.

  • I have been trying to get a feature/functionality in my Apple system -- have asked about it in Apple stores all over the country from coast to coast, and have received no response. How can I speak with someone at Apple that will help?

    Greetings whomever reads this.
    I have 2 issues that Apple has not been able to resolve, that are vexing me.
    1) Somehow I have 2-3 apple IDs ... passwords etc. I have purchased 2 iPads, 2 -3 iPhones, a Macbook Pro, and a Mac Mini with Thunderbolt monitor. Somewhere in that process I might have created another Apple ID, not sure. When the confusion started, I went to an Apple store, and they suggested I create a new Apple ID, against my better judgement I did, which added to the confusion. Now, every time I need to sign in using my Apple ID for anything, I have no idea what user ID goes with what password. I have gone to Apple stores several time to try to get this situation cleared up and each time they try to get me to create yet another Apple ID. Now I won't do that anymore, but the original confusion remains. How can I wipe out all Apple IDs and just have one?
    2) I have been trying to get a particular functionality/feature/capability added to my Mac system. Don't want to go into detail here because someone will steal my idea and make millions. I have posed this question to Mac personnel from Geniuses, to Business Teams -- no one can figure it out. How do I get this fabulous capability I have thought up to come to life so I can make millions?

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • Since updating to iOS 5, my bluetooth and signal have been destroyed. Before the update, the phone worked perfectly, connecting to my bluetooth in car for both calls and music. Reception was also perfect. Now, my bluetooth doesnt work, and I cant be heard

    Since I updated my iphone 4 software from 4.3.3/4.3.5 - bought brand new only 2 weeks before the update came out - to iOS 5, my bluetooth no longer works in me ford fiesta and when I ring people, they literally can not hear a word I say. It has nothing to do with poor signal areas as they are the same areas I was in with the same phone before the software update! i have even sent for a replacement phone and received a reconditioned phone (after paying excess charge - JOKE!) and the same problem occured when I updated again. I cannot believe there is no downgrade as this iOS 5 is a shambles and to be honest, I see very little difference in terms of apps and photos so i have no idea why apple are recommending this upgrade!
    Is there anything I can do to improve the fact that nobody can hear me on the phone when I speak?!! Or are apple going to insist I keep a phone that is of no use to me if I can't actually use it as a PHONE!
    Please please help!

    Hi,
    Thanks! I forgot to add, I have debonded and rebonded the bluetooth in car and phone and have carried out 3 restores on the phone in my ITunes. All to no avail. I have also jsut spent £40 on a lead from Ford that has made no difference too! I went to them today to request a software upgrade on my car as I though perhaps the lack of connectivity in the car was down to the car being behind the iOS5 software but was informed there was no need for an upgrade and this problem is purely an apple problem! Is there any way around the downgrade? Or are apple gong to resolve this problem at all??

  • I signed up with the wrong email address for itunes and have been using it for 2 years, now it wants me to validate the address, but I can't.  HELP

    Please help.  Is there anyway to change my email address on my apple id?

    Well, your first mistake was making a new Apple ID. You only needed to go into Manage your Apple ID and change the Apple ID from the Yahoo email to your new email. Then, all the purchases you made with that old Apple ID would still be tied to your updated Apple ID.
    As it is, you now have a totally new Apple ID, but the purchases you made with that old Apple ID are still (and will forever be) tied to it.
    Your best bet is to log into Manage your Apple ID with the old ID (regardless of what Yahoo did with it, it is still a functional Apple ID, unless you had that disable for security reasons). Once you have logged into it, change the password on it to match the password on your new ID. Then when you are asked for a password to update an app, it won't matter which of the two Apple IDs is displaying. You will just type in the same password and your app will be updated.
    Cheers,

    Hi
    I have an Ipod nano which is nearly 12mths old. Recently the shuffle aspect has not been working and I have to manually press the forward arrows on the screen to move onto the next piece of music. If i dont press the forward arrows the same piece of music plays over and over.
    regards

    Hello
    Tap the screen when playing a song and you should see playback options and tap the repeat until it is white. When it is blue it on repeat and if it has a 1 on it then it is repeating the same song over and over again.

  • ATTN: APPLE ; iTunes will not open. Many customers/users with the same issu

    First of all, I know I am not the first person to post about this nor will I be the last. However SOMETHING needs to be done about this ridiculous problem.
    I was using iTunes 8.X prior and I upgraded to 9.0.1 a couple of days ago. Ever since then I have had nothing but headaches when attempting to get iTunes to work so I can work with my iPhone.
    I followed previous instructions by other users on this forum. Here is the list of steps I took.
    1. Uninstalling iTunes + Quicktime completely. Reinstalling shortly therafter.
    2. Ensuring no codecs were interfering (mpcstar, et cetera).
    3. Cleaning the registry.
    4. Cleaning the SC Info.sidb and SC Info.sidd files from \ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info
    5. Turning off different services or restarting them. This includes Bonjour, Apple Mobile Devices, iPod Service. There IS an interesting note about this later on.
    6. Running 9.0.1 on a fresh install of Vista Home Premium on a notebook.
    +** No errors were ever given for this issue on either system inside of event viewer or when attempting to execute iTunes. The iTunes.exe will show as active in Processes at 13-15mb and does nothing. At times a smaller, and SECOND process of iTunes.exe will appear at 2-3mb then disappear after a few seconds.+
    All of this and it goes nowhere good.
    Generally, after rebooting my computers iTunes will start once if at all. However this is not guaranteed. The fact that I have to restart constantly in order to have a small attempt at getting iTunes to execute correctly is absurd.
    I noted in 5. that messing around with the services produced one interesting event. When I stop the Apple Mobile Devices service iTunes will load. Although when doing this it will of course NOT detect my iPhone. Even if I load iTunes and start or restart Apple Mobile Devices it of course will not see it.
    As aforementioned I am not the only customer and user to have this issue. There is clearly a problem with 9.0.1 and many others will agree. It might not be happening to everyone (lucky for you lot) however it is nonetheless unfair that we who are experiencing difficulties are not seeing a resolution.
    If anyone has ideas about what else could potentially be done to remedy this I would greatly appreciate your help. As I am sure others will also.
    Thank you for your time and help.

  • I have an apple ipad version 6.13 working. I cant move my mp3s that I download from my mac onto my ipad it just doesnt work and I have tried everything I can think of. Any suggestions? I have home sharing on and everything but I am really stuck. some song

    I am using my ipad to transfer some mp3s over to my ipad. some go over, most do not. I even had trouble with videos syncing over. I am running version 6.13. I have plenty of space left but they just wont get on there. This is what happens. I take a video I have and make an mp3 out of it sometimes, sometimes its just plain mp3s. I do the conversion and it comes out fine but it goes to my computer itunes and not on my ipad. Does anyone know what I can try to get the mp3s onto my ipad? its driving me nuts not to be abke to do this. Thank you for any suggestions!!! PS I am using snow leopard as my OS on my mac

    no they are already in mp3 format I just tried that home sharing today because I couldnt find any other reason why they werent syncing. here is an example of a sync I just tried. I made an mp4 concert into an mp3 it came out perfect on my computer.. then I tried to sync it to my ipad with no luck, other than it going on my computer, it did not show up anywhere on my ipad in any area of the music sections etc playlists, songs, albums etc. Its just not there but remains on my computer. thats why I tried the home share today to see if that would help. Either I am really missing something or there is something wrong with this ipad. Did you ever have any trouble like this, does anyone? and what is something good to try? thank you again for answering! I appreciate it.

  • Hi i am havin trouble with my ipad after i have downloaded a game and have been playing for a while it seems to of diapeared and the screen goes a white blank background there is nothing on the screen at all so i switch it off and back on and it is white

    hi i am having trouble with games on my ipad as i have been playing them the screen goes white and i can't play the game i go back to the game centre on the ipad and click on the icon for the game and come up to play i push play buton and the screen come up again white so any body had the same problem could they let me no thanks

    Quit the game and restart the iPad.
    To quit the game - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
