I need technical support

Hi,
I'm Merve from Istanbul, Turkey. We are an architecture department in Bahcesehir University. We bought an Apple Macbook Pro from Apple Retail Pentagon City USA about 2 years ago on 04.02.2008.
But a month ago, this Macbook Pro's graphic card (or display card, I'm not really sure which one you are using:)start to fail, when we open it, and it was impossible to use any CAD programs, cause the vision was wavy. Then we send the laptop to the authorized service in İstanbul. When we give the laptop to this servise on 29.12.2009, the warranty coverage was not over yet. First they told us that, the problem is in the graphic card, and they can change it without any charge. But then, they call us and told that, 'After we change the graphic card, we realized that the problem is not the graphic card but the monitor itself. It is our of warranty coverage and costs over 500 €.'
We are wondering if this is possible, or does it cause because of user mistake? Should we pay this without any doubt? And is there any way to contact with the main technical support team? Trying to contact them cause there was a situation in the University some time ago, some kind a troubled set of computers were set on the laboratories and the failed, and when they contact with the center that we bought those computers, they changed them all, and send another set of computers.
Appreciate you help.
Merve.

Hi, BIMAS. It's very unlikely that a user error could have caused a wavy display. If the service provider has replaced the MBP's logic board in the belief that a faulty NVidia 8600 GPU on it was the cause of your problem, and doing so didn't solve the problem, then he may be right in thinking the display itself is at fault. There is a third possibility, though: the video cable that leads from the GPU to the display panel my be damaged or faulty. Ask the service provider whether he can test that cable independently of the LCD panel. That may not be possible, because the cable may be considered to be part of the display assembly, which is only replaced as a single unit by Apple authorized service providers. I'm not familiar with your MBP model and I don't know whether that's true of it. If it is, then you will have no practical choice but to pay to have the display replaced. That will undoubtedly cost more than 500 euro.

  • I need technical support with Adobe Reader. How do I get it?

    I need tech support for Adobe Reader.  It makes my computer freeze when an attachment if opened.  How and where do I get help?

    Have you tired another browser?
    Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera or Safari will all work with Windows 7, and they will give you far less trouble than IE or AOL will.
    Firefox has a built in PDF viewer that's less than perfect, but it works.
    On a personal note: I worked for AOL ten years ago. AOL mail (what most people use AOL for) is now  a FREE service for ANYONE, so if you have their software installed I'd recommend removing it: you don't need it. If you have a paid account with them, I'd cancel it. You're getting NOTHING AT ALL for a monthly fee that isn't available on their website at absolutely no cost to you.
    Also, I just spent an entire day last week reloading an office computer for my brother because Internet Explorer allowed a virus from a page that the other browsers don't allow access to. Internet Explorer is "the problem child" of Internet Browsers, and since AOL uses a seven year old version of Internet Explorer for its built-in browser, you'll find little difference between the two.
    Try another browser and see if the problem persists. If it does we'll look at Reader as a cause, but I'd venture an aducated guess it's your browser.

  • I lost the receipt, now i need technical support, i live in Russia.

    I live in Russia, i bought my iPad2 in August in the States. I called to Mtime, wich is responsible for apple devices support in Russia. Mtime assistant told me, that i need to get an official permission from Apple on my e-mail, to get guaranted service. Where should i write and how can i get? The problem of my device is when i record video, the sound hisses a lot. 

    Describe this "hissing" a bit more.
    Is the sound clear besides this hissing?
    Is the hissing when your moving to record the video or standing still?
    Is there any loud sounds near you when the hissing happens?

    Hi,
        I need assistance with transferring an existing website  - imagessays.com  -  (designed with Dreamweaver CS4) to my Creative Cloud CS6 account - to web hosting by CS6 Business Catalyst.
         Beyond that, need advice as to how to repair a couple of non-funcitonal links on site (check out site to see a couple of pics that don't work).  I'm looking forward to uploading more content (pitchers an' writin's) and to do major upgrade to the site, but am unable to do so ... need technical support re how to do these simple (should be) things.
         Look forward to assistance.
    Thanks,

  • Install Technical Support

    I need technical support. I purchased an upgrade to Acrobat XI. when I tried to install it, i recieved the following. "A licensing initialiZation error has occured. Please contact customer support for more assistance. Error 0x80070005." Adobe provided an error number and no way to obtain its meaning or obtain technical support. This is unacceptable. i have wasted valuable time because of this. The problem was stated that I had a later version of some file and no suggestion was made about what I should do. I had loaded the demo version of Framemaker XII.

  • Does Adobe offer technical support?

    Hi I'm a professional editor and I need technical support. Does Adobe offer this?
    Forums are unhelpful. I post something and no one answers.

    This is your third message Gpose79 - it looks like BOTH of your other questions were answered How do I open CR2 in CS6? and How do you manipulate a single letter (that's within a word)?
    So what is your current problem?
    Also... this is an open forum with mostly other users, but some Adobe staff who answer questions

    I have a problem with my mac, lit with blank screen loading bar and then goes out, I need assistencia on line or contact the Technical Support Service in Argentina

    Priscilla,
    if your Mac is still in warranty, then you should contact the Argentinian technical support service. If it is out of warranty, then we can try to lend a hand. (We’re just fellow Apple product users here.)

  • If I buy an ipod through Kijiji, can the ownership be transfered so i can get technical support if needed?

    If I buy an ipod through Kijiji, can the ownership be transfered so i can get technical support if needed? Kijiji is an ottawa based website which allows people to buy and sell lightly used or new products for a cheaper price then in stores!

    If you buy from an Apple Authorized Reseller, yes, Apple will honor their warranty. You can find authorized resellers at http://www.apple.com/buy/

  • Need in-person technical support, Denton, TX

    I have been struggling with Premiere Elements daily for about six weeks.  Virtually nothing works as expected.  I have completed training.  I have asked here.  I have used the Adobe Chat feature.  I have reinstalled the software.  I have optimized my hard drive.  (I have no problems editing videos with Windows Movie Maker Live with this same computer.)
    I have to assume there is something wrong with my hardware configuration or the way the PE11 is set up on my computer.  (Either that or PE11 is crap, and I'm really leaning towards this latter explanation.)
    How do I find someone who can help me in person?

    Cindy,
    Great news!
    Now, if you DID Delete your Prefs file, as ATR instructed, and it became instantly corrupted, I would survey your I/O sub-system, I.e. your HDD's, in case there is some issue there, that is causing corruption.
    Some Adobe users seem to need to refresh their Prefs files often (used by several Adobe programs), but in 20 years of heavy use, I have had to do so only once in Photoshop, and that was when another program crashed my system during a Save, and have never had to do so with any version of Premiere (the original Premiere, Premiere Pro or Premiere Elements). Maybe I have just been very lucky. Pref files can become corrupt, but not all that often - I would fear that something was wrong somewhere.
    1.  The support rep didn't charge me the $39.  I asked him how I was supposed to pay, and he said, no charge.  I have no idea why.
    That was a kind gesture, and I am glad to hear of it. I know that Adobe has been working on both Customer Support and Technical Support, so perhaps that tech rep was trying to do their part. Good news.
    2.  About a week ago, a support rep on chat told me that PE11 didn't work with the iPhone.  So I've been jumping through hoops to reformat my files before bringing them in to PE11.  After deleting the preference file, PE11 worked with my .mov file (iPhone 5 video) just fine.  Go figure.
    Where iPhone footage CAN be an issue, is if the device uses Variable Frame-Rates, when recording. I first started seeing that, with the iPhone 4S (could have been before, but I did not read of it), and then more with the iPhone 5. Personally, I do not know when the Variable Frame-Rate is invoked - maybe when shooting high-motion, that then slows, or stops? Maybe others can tell you more about the devices?
    If your iPhone footage is NOT Variable Frame-Rate, then PrE should have no issues with it. Just remember to shoot in Landscape Mode, and not Portrait.
    Many users, with iPhone 5's, have found that if they Open their Variable Frame-Rate footage in Apple's QuickTime Pro (a US$ 29 upgrade/unlock), then Export to MOV or MP4 w/ the H.264 CODEC, that resultant footage will be a Constant Frame-Rate, and will then Import fine, into PrE. There are probably other workflows, but the QT Pro method has become popular with the PrPro crowd.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • I don't have time to look through answers other users have posted when i have an issue with your product. that's poor technical support. I downloaded the update and now my "go back one page" button doesn't work. you need to improve your support options.

    Are you kidding me that your response is I need to create an account?

    Call Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-275-2273.  Ask politely & firmly that you want to be transferred to Customer Relations.  Tell them exactly what you stated in your post.
    GOOD LUCK!
    These are user-to-user forums where everyday folk (volunteers) post questions and offer answers (technical support) to each other.  

  • I need help getting assistance from Adobe Technical Support.  Ideas?

    I feel that I am getting the run around by Adobe technical support and wondered if anyone had any recommendations on how to handle this problem.
    Any recommendations or assistance would be greatly appreciated.  This is very important to me.  In previous upgrades this has been fixed with the update, but Adobe has not added an update to RoboHelp 8.0 yet.  Does anyone know of an update in the works?
    I have repetedly contacted Adobe Technical support with a bug that I have found and also reported a bug on the website where you report bugs.

    I continually am told that it is worked on by the "highest level" but each time they try the bug out as if it is not being worked on.  Does anyone have a recommendation about how to get my bug worked on.  I have confirmed that it is in fact a bug and can be replicated on other computers.  Sometimes they say they will help and then put in a ticket that it is my turn to submit information.  Most of the time I just am told I will get a call and do not
