I should have stopped after the 2nd return.

This is my 3rd macbook (black) 1st one lasted 2 days and would not power up just dead, seconed one had some humming noise, 3rd one now has no display every other day and I have to start up with command / option / p +r , then it works. I also have a uneven bottom in the center after its been on for 2 hours. I called tec support and got a case # and was told to take it in. well today i herd the lid popping when I opened and closed it and I saw the left corner lifting up, i looked closer and found at the base of the screen (left side) was also lifting? Well that was it i was on my way to the apple store. I didnt know that you need an appointment to get some help!!! tech support should have told me, After I told them this was my 3rd they took a look at it and said I damaged my macbook! come on, there is no scuff, no drops, no marks, no nothing, how can you tell me this. Is apple this poor with customer service. Its been 35 days now with this macbook and i have no way to return it now. //// what should I do? or better yet who can I call. I dont want to be stuck with macbook I have to perform a 4 button start up, or a popping lid.
MacBook (black)   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

Call customer relations and ask for a refund...make sure to explain all the problems you've been having. That's what I did (after my MacBook was repeatedly repaired and replaced and it kept on breaking over and over again...strangely, I had many of the same problems that you are having).

    When using my new nano 7 with nike+, my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run/workout for over 30 minutes.  It also cancels/deletes that run/workout.  This has happened several times.  How can I keep this from happening?

    If possible I would arrange for a good service center to go over it. Hopefully they have a variety of parts in stock. They can test and verify all is working. The previous attempts are based on guesses by the person at the other end of the phone without diagnostic tests to assess the culprit. It is extremely unlikely for a webcam to fail & for it & a Mic to fail together should be an indicator to a good technician it is something else. EG Motherboard
    Take it to a servicing dealer and wait for it.

  • The fan stops after the Satellite U500 - 10Jwas turn on

    Hello! I need help!
    The fan stops after the notebook ws turn on and my Toshiba laptop computer is giving me the warning "A problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the computer immediately, and return it for service".
    The fan works several minutes and stops.
    I clean out all dust, I didn`t anything with software and hardware.
    What the reason of this?

    Thank you, very good advice)))
    The mod.Satellite U500 - 10J (I can`t find it on toshiba`s support page)
    Toshiba service always takes a lot of time and I have`t this time because I can`t work without this laptop.
    I just want to understand why he stops if he can works. For example, today fan was working during 3 hours(everything was good) and had stoped when I went out to the kitchen. After that the CPU temp becames high and I turn it off.
    I don`t know what happens, there no a lot of processes, I don`t play in hard games, just surf and office.

    This is what you need to do:
    1> In the tables->details section define two line types LT1 and LT2.
    2> Come back to tables section pressing the table painter button.
    3> Select a line type for which you want to have an underline(say LT2).
         a] If the anchor cursor does not come click the draw lines and columns button( the pencil icon nutton)
         b] select the line type ( it will become black after selection. Press and hold down ctrl to select
             multiple cells.
         c] after selection click the lower 'frame button' ( which is right at the top of box and shading).
    4> Now goto data section where you have given your internal table name and work area.
         a] in the sort criteria put your field POSNR and check the Event on Sort end chk box.
         b] you will see an extra node under the main area of the table.
         c] Create a table line with the line type LT2 in the node.
         d]Also in the Main area add another table line with LT1 as the line type.
    5> If POSNR remains unchnged LT1 will be triggered.
    6> if Posnr changes then LT2 will be triggered with the underline.
    This will suffice your requirement.

  • I think we should have been given the option to move books from iTunes to iBooks. All mine were downloaded CD booklets and inserts which were in their right place in iTunes. What do others think?

    I think we should have been given the option to have our books moved from iTunes to iBooks. All mine were CD booklets and inserts downloaded with the CDs, and the obvious place for them was in iTunes. As it is now, I can no longer use my own convention for naming, sorting etc. The sort facility in iBooks does not work. What do others think?

  • HT203167 My iTunes Match does not work, it stops after the first step and won't do anything else!!!

    Hello, I purchased iTunes Match for my new iPhone five and it is intended to move the music from my computer to my other computer, but it stopped working on my MacBook Pro, it stopped after the first step. So, my question is, can iTunes Match work if the iTunes in question has other accounts attached to it, of not, can I get a refund on a service that does not work?

    I am having a similar issue with iTunes Match. It keeps hanging up on the same number of files (11035 of 15455) during STEP 2. I've tried signing out, re-opening iTunes, re-booting, etc. Still comesup stuck for hours. What I also don't understand is why the "iCloud Status" option in "View/View Options" disappears intermittently. It was there when I first booted up this morning and I reviewed all my music files to see if there were any "errors" and there werne't any. But after Match gets stuck on the same file niumber (11035) I 've signed out and re-booted and now the "iCloud Status" check box is missing from "View Options" (only the "iCloud Download" option remains present all the time. Please help. (I've also checked to make sure all the music files are within the suggested bit rate parameters and file type - This is also a brand new iMac out of the box). Running out of troubleshooting ideas and beginning to think this service just doesn't work well.

  • My 2011 MacBook Pro does not start and stop after the apple appear, they said that the problem is a video problem and need to change the logic board. Cost almost same to buy a new one. Somebody have the same problem?

    I have a MacBook Pro early 2011. Does not start. After the apple show, a blank screen appear. The service said that the problem is with the video plaquue in the logic board. Need to change. Cost lmmost the same than a new MacBook Pro. Somebody has the same problem? What we can do?

    I hate to break this to you, but life isn't fair. If your job is that critically in need of a computer, then you should have a spare to use for just this kind of situation or have your employer provide you with a computer to use.
    Computers break down, just like cars. If your car breaks down do you curse the car maker or get it fixed? Surely, you paid more for your car than the computer.
    This is reality. Best get used to it because it won't get any better.

  • Workbook column should preserve color after the run in Analyzer

    Hello all,
    I use BEx  SAP BW 3.x.
    I made a workbook , and I put column 3 to have orange color in this workbook then I saved it.
    Then I run a query, in BEx Analyzer.
    My orange column is orange, but just partially, top and bottom. In this column I have now data
    and for that zone with data the background is white, not orange.
    Please provide me a solution, what should I have to modify, so my entire third column to be orange after the run in Analyzer .
    Any clues would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    In bex 3.x embedd the query in your workbook then change the format of the style of the cell not the cell itself
    This will only work if the column has a unique bex style
    Other than that nto much use unless you have a piece of macro code or use excel functionality to add an extra column and make that orange
    YOu could of course have the column being an exception where the exception is always true - and then format the exception style to be orange

  • I am having problems syncing my iTunes music to iTunes Match. ITunes shuts down after the 2nd step every time. Does anyone know how to fix?

    Every time iTunes Match starts up, it gets to Step 2, almost makes it to Step 3, and then crashes and shuts down iTunes. I've restarted the computer, and reinstalled iTunes for Windows. Anyone have any idea what I should do next? There are songs that I can't sync to my iPhone 5S because of this.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to AD!
    I have a regular post for the top 3 or 4 fixes for that 9808 error. Obviously you are going to skip #1, since you've already tried it. Let me know how you get on with the next 2.
    The top 3 fixes to itunes error 9808 seem to be
    1) Go to Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced, make sure that SSL 3.0 is checked and TLS 1.0 is checked. Also under Security make sure that the “Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)” is unchecked. Then click ok and fire up iTunes.
    2) The culprit was Norton. The users are set up as Admin and Standard. I have Parental Controls turned on in both Vista as well as Norton. Admin users had no problems connecting to iTunes. Standard users would get the error. I had to go to Norton’s Personal Firewall and add the program “iTunes Helper.exe” and set the option to “Allowed” (”iTunes.exe should already be in the Allowed category.) in order for the standard users to be able to connect.
    3) close iTunes if you have it open right now. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes. Delete or cut the preferences.xml file which contains your iTunes preferences. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes and delete or move the preferences.xml file. For Mac users, there is only one file you must delete or move a to a new location and is located at User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.itunes.plist. Restart iTunes and it will recreate those two (or one) files with the default settings. Feel free to set your preferences back to what they were and then connect to the iTunes store and enjoy!
    And #4, see if you can get into the iTS from a different windows admin account on the same PC.

  • My wife and Iare newbies with iPhone 5s. (Should have waited for the 6.) I have usediTunes for a long time for my iPods, but now we both want to use the iCloud do access different music up there. Any help in doing that? If we can do it, we will be ad

    I'm running iTunes on a PC laptop and ready to move music to an independent hard drive. We want to add more music to it. I have used iTunes for a while for iPods. My wife and I have new iPhone 5S and would like to access the cloud for different types of music, but I will maintain the music in the cloud. (That's my job.) Can 2 iPhones use the same iCloud? We each have different Apple ID's. Thanks.

    Music in the cloud is managed by the separate iTunes Match service ($25/year US). You would sign up to it on the PC, and your music library would be matched with the iTunes Store, and high quality versions of all songs would become available to you on any device also signed into iTunes Match. You should not delete your local copy from the PC, since you should retain a master version of all songs for safety.
    You can use the same iTunes Match service, but you'd see the same music (you say you "would like to access the cloud for different types of music", but I'm not sure what you mean by that).

  • Workflow does not stop after the first reject

    Hi!
    We just got a 30-day Microsoft 365 trial at work in which we also received a Share site! I've been playing around with it a lot, especially to help them build an approval process. I believe since this is just a trial, I do not get the globally reusable Approval
    Workflow. So I tried creating a new workflow attached to a list I created.
    In this process, when the list is submitted, it needs to be approved by 2 people sequentially - John Doe & then Billy Bob.
    When I create a new workflow, I click on actions and select "Start Approval Process". After doing that, it populates Step 1 with the following line - Start Approval process on Current Item with these users. I clicked on "these users" link and added the approvers
    in sequences - John Doe, then Billy Bob.
    I saved the workflow, checked for any errors and published the workflow. While testing with this workflow, I realized that when John Doe rejects the process, the task is still assigned to Billy Bob when it is actually suppose to stop.
    How can I stop this workflow right after John Doe rejects the process?
    Any help will be appreciated!
