Ive Had Problems With My Macbook Thank Goodness For Applecare

My Macbook white 2.0ghz 1GB Ram has had many problems since i bought it in may. The colour of the top case where the keyboard is has gradually turned form a lovely white colour too a grey and now a yellowey mess.
The average temp is 72c and so the macbook moos constantly, under pressure ive had the temp go up to 98c it nearly burnt me.
Ive updated the opertaing system to 10.4.7 and still the problem occurs.
So i decided enough is enough and so i rang apple care, i was on the phone for about 20 minutes and i had to speak to 2 diffrent people, and they where great they told me that they knew about the discoloration and they are sorting it out, he also said that even though they would fix anything they find is wrong the fans creating the moo may be fixed by a firmware update, and so he wouldnt be able to tell me if it would be fixed or not.
The huy told me that they would fix anything they find that has a fault for free because its still under a 90 day limited warrenty, they will be sending me a box on tuesday and he said that there is a repair center in the UK and so i could recieve the macbook back by friday.
How great is that im going to get my macbook back all problems repaired for free, and i know that these problems should have been sorted before they were shipped but im so please, my macbook will be great.

I had the same problems so like you I called apple and they sent me a box to send my macbook in. They said it would take 5-6 days but it only took two so they where ahead of the program. I now have a flawless macbook that runs like a champ!
The hottest that has gotten since the repair is 63'C and before I had gotten it up to 90'C.
It used to moooo all the time but now I haven't heard it make a sound.
Thanks Apple!!!

    I had problems with my MacBook pro's hard drive. And I have this question how can I end up getting a replacement for it like get a new one.

    The recycle program makes it easier for you to trade in your old Mac and buy a new one. Apple has a partner that will take the old one and give you a gift card for the value -- if your old Mac is in pretty good condition and doen't have problems (passes the diagnostics).

    Do you have a lot of apps? Did you use a lot of apps recently? If so, many of them may still be resident in memory even if you aren't currently using them. Double-tap the home key and you should see the app tray with a list of most recently used programs. Press and hold the icons in the tray and remove the ones you don't use often to remove them from memory. Powering off and then back on might also help.
    My wife's iPod does that sometimes, and it's usually because we run out of memory due to apps remaining in memory even when not used. The suggestion above is how we normally fix the problems.

  • Has anyone had problems with the latest driver update for the Lexmark printers? My Lexmark printers won't work with the latest driver update.

    Has anyone had problems with the latest Lexmark printer driver update? My Lexmark printers won't work with the latest driver update. If I reinstall an older version of the drivers, they work.

    Mine crashed once with new update, but working fine.
    I had to delete old printer, restart iMac, and then reinstall
    new drivers to get it to work. Would not complete without
    the restart after deleting non-working printer. No problems
    since and all features working.

  • Anybody NOT had problems with their Macbook?

    I'm thinking of buying a Macbook or Macbook Pro but I've seen so much bad press that I'm scared! Has anybody not had any problems or is every one of these things defective? I'm sure that those who didn't have any problems had no reason to post anything...

    No problems with my BlackBook here. There have been some very real problems... discoloration with some white MacBooks and the random shutdown issue. These are problems that Apple has acknowledged and has fixes for. I only say that so as not to downplay the issues that those who have experienced these problems have expressed... especially early on before Apple had resolutions in place. Having said that, new MacBooks should not experience these problems and as others have said, every indication seems to be that it was a fairly small number that had the problems to start with. With the resolution of those two main problems, I haven't really seen any comments which would indicate that there may be other build issues out there. Now seems to be a perfectly safe time to get yourself a new MacBook. With Parallels and/or BootCamp, you really get the best of both worlds.

  • Has anyone else had problems with their macbook freezing with the new OS Lion?

    Mine kept freezing in iPhoto and had to turn computer off?

    Without proper system information nobody can tell you anything. there could be any number of reasons why the download gets corrupted from virus scanners accessing the files and damaging them to your harddrive being damaged or fragmented to a bad network connection already corrupting it... Check al lthat stuff, turn off the pertinent components, clean up your drive.

  • Are there any known problems with firefox4 and yahoo? Ive had problems with yahoo ever since I upgraded. If there are any problems, are there any solutions?

    When I check my yahoo mail, a lot of times emails will disappear, or I will click on one to read, and it will open one that is above it. Also there are times when I am on a page, and a yahoo search page will open saying page could not be found, and it wasnt even something I was doing.

    You have Adware installed. Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons | Plugins and disable '''My Web Search'''. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_web_search
    Also, update Firefox to the latest version which is 4.0.1 by clicking Help | About Firefox | Check For Updates button.
    In addition, update Adobe Flash via http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

  • I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies

    I am experiencing some major problems with my MacBook Pro. I have had some issues with it turning on/off at random times, but today, when starting, I get the grey start-up screen and a recovery bar. After filling in approx 1/4 of the way, the machine dies. After starting it in recovery mode, it will not allow me to download OS X Mavericks- it says the disk is locked. Any ideas? I do not have a back-up and do not want to erase everything before I have explored my options. Help?

    try forcing internet recover, hold 3 keys - command, option, r - you should see a spinning globe
    most people will tell you to do both pram and smc resets (google) and if you still have issues, either clean install (easy) or troubleshoot (hard)

  • Ive had my 13 inch macbook pro for less than 30 days and the battery health has gone down to 92% and the computer itself is so slow...i paid %50.00 for an OLD windows computer with 512 mb of ram and it is much faster..is this normal for mac??

    If this is a fairly new Mac running either v10.7 Lion or v10.8 Mountain Lion she can use Lion or Mountain Recovery to repair the startup disk or reinstall OS X.

  • Is there a phone number to call Adobe.  I go around an endless loop pressing their contact info tabs?  Maybe someone at this sight can help. I am new to digital photo - I have been a B&W film photographer for many years. I have a problem with a Macbook Ai

    Is there a phone number to call Adobe.  I go around an endless loop pressing their contact info tabs?  Maybe someone at this sight can help. I am new to digital photo - I have been a B&W film photographer for many years. I have a problem with a Macbook Air.  It was working fine - I was using LR and a message came on the screen that said something like the memory was dangerously low.  I stopped and tried to delete LR files.  I couldn't do it.  I closed the program and tried reopening and got the message that there is not enough memory available to open LR.  I contacted Apple.  They spent a half hour on the phone with me and eventually told me they didn't know how to help. The tech said that LR had gobbled up all the memory and said I should contact Adobe and ask where and how my photo files are stored and to delete them.  I have several back-ups.  Thanks - Arthur

    This sort of error message only comes up for Lightroom when your hard disk is full. Indeed this has nothing to do with internal memory as that will be intelligently be dealt with. If you have a mac Book Air that is not so surprising as the cheapest versions come with very small hard disks and if you shoot raw with any recent camera, you'll fill up your hard disk very quickly and you can probably only store a few months of pictures if you are a typical photographer. So the bottom line is that you need to create some room on your hard disk. You should move some of your originals to an external hard disk. You can also delete some of your backup copies of your catalog file that Lightroom automatically generates every few days and that quickly gobble up hard disk space. So first figure out how full your hard disk is. To see that, go to the apple menu, hit -> About this Mac -> More info->Storage. You should see your internal hard disk on top and you'll find that it is almost entirely full with photos. Now find your Lightroom catalog file using Finder. It is usually in a folder in the Pictures folder in your home directory. You should see a Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file, a previews file and a folder called backups. Inside the backups folder, you'll find a lot of subfolders. They have names that show the dates the backups were created. If you have backups of your entire hard disk, you can delete these backups when they are older than a few months. I usually only keep the last 4 around. Just drag the folders into the trash can on the dock on the bottom of your screen and empty the trash. This will probably free up enough space that Lightroom will already run again. Now start thinking about where you will want to store older images. If you have a good USB3 or Thunderbolt hard disk that is probably the best option. There is a video here by Adobe that has some instructions on how to do this: Is Your Hard Drive Full? Here’s How to Move Images to Another Drive in Lightroom. « Julieanne Kost's Blog If that doesn't work because you don't have enough hard drive space to run Lightroom yet, here is another set of instructions to move your files using the finder to the other hard disk: How do I move only my photos to another hard drive, leaving the catalog where it is? - The Lightroom Queen. If you follow that, as soon as you confirm all your images are on the new hard disk, you can delete them from your internal one. She is not so clear about that part but if you don't delete the originals that you moved off you don't free up space. You should move the folder structure over to the new hard disk and then reconnect the folders in Lightroom. That should make it refind all your images.
    That said, if you are uncomfortable with the computer in itself, your best bet is to find a local photography club. There is invariably a Lightroom savvy person in there that could help you move your files. That might be your best bet if you are uncomfortable moving these yourself. A general mac savvy person like you would find at an Apple store or so generally will not be able to help you with this except when they are photographers themselves and know Lightroom. You might get lucky with that.

  • Has anyone in this Forum had problems with installing and running Adobe apps on the new MacPro?

    Has anyone in this Forum had problems with installing and running Adobe apps on the new MacPro?
    I have been trying to install Photoshop CS6 & CC and Acrobat Pro XI on my Mac Pro (late 2013). I keep getting a 'configuration' error message and wondered if the problem was wide spread.
    TIA,
    Jerry

    Thanks, Martin.
    Good to hear someone has had success. The lack of it here is frustrating and depressing.
    Thanks again,
