For how much longer can a 2008 MacBook Pro?

For how much longer can a 2008 MacBook Pro run? I'm still on Snow Leopard but just have updated HDD and RAM. Now the graphic card went down and the repair costs half of a new computer. What to do? If I can get three more years out of it I'd go for it, but it's a gamble. Can you guess the risks?

DONT PAY FOR A REPAIR! its not worth it anymore, as most companies dont replace the gpu because the part isnt made any more. They don't repair it and it isnt permanent, but your still paying!! its crazy! fortunately there is a way to do the exact thing that they do without dissassembling your computer! just follow these steps:
1. Plug in your macbook pro (make sure that its off)
2. Turn on the computer, and hwen it chimes, close the lid and turn it updside down.
3. Wrap the macbook in a heavy quilt.
4. Let the computer sit for about an hour.
5. Take it out of the quilt, unplug it and let it cool for 20 minutes.
6. Turn on the computer.
I can say that this works as I had the same problem, and after this method, the computer is up and running, I'm typing this on it now!

How much longer will I be ignored/unhappy with my phone service??

I have been a Verizon customer for 12 years and have been tricked into staying with them once again, lied to, misled, and nobody will do a thing about it. I didn't want to resign a 2 year contract but the plan that was shown to me had the best coverage and the best price, so I was dumb and believed them. My bill is now $40 more than before and they charged me $30 just to upgrade my phone (on top of the upgrade price for the phone and paying TWO different plans in one month). I am happy with the phone, but so disappointed and let down by what I believe is the most profitable and lucrative company in the world. They no longer value themselves as honest, honorable, or putting their customers first. I am so let down and feel so ignored after calling multiple times to ask questions and find out what I can do about my bill and lowering my costs. The only thing anyone has offered so far is for me to pay more for getting so little added to my account. It's all bull **** and I wouldn't be upset if this company crashed and burned. They stand for nothing but deceit and sticking their hands in our pockets.

I have been with VW since 1993 when they took over PacTel. Always had good customer service people willing to work with me to help me with any concerns with billing and added fees they like to sneak in on you. They were always happy and willing to take off any fees that had not been brought to my attention at the time of a transaction - which were many!! I have two cell phones, veizon home phone, verizon wifi and a sub account with four phones on it. The sub account is for my grandson. I have recently closed three of the four phones on the sub account and had to pay off the early termination fees. The representative talked to his supervisor for some time but couldn't get any "discount" for a long time loyal customer on the payoff on the three lines. He quoted the price of my bill that I would get for the cancellation of the phones and told me he would send me a label to send back a smart phone that was just issued. Never got the label. Never received a bill. Did recently receive an email threatening to charge me $500 for not sending back the phone and when I called about the bill it was $200 more that was quoted. Needless to say VW has become quite the NO CUSTOMER SERVICE company. Paying your bill on time and never missing a payment, sigining contract after contract, year after year, doesn't mean a thing to them anymore. So! VW! As soon an all my contracts expire - you will never see one cent of money again!! There was life before cell phones. And there will be life for me after VW!!

How much longer will iPad 3s be good

I Have a 2012 iPad 3 and it still works fine for me, and I updated it to iOS 7. But when will it become obsolete for software upgrades? I've put off buying a MacBook Air since if I'll have to retire my iPad within the next year, I figure I'll purchase the highest storage model on that day.

Despite the fact that a device may no longer receive iOS updates does NOT render it useless or obsolete. It will be able to do then, exactly what it can do today.

How much longer will we have to wait before Adobe fixes the bugs in Elements 10?

Lassoo misbehaving - I use it all the time - I'm seriously thinking of consigning Elements 10 to the bin and going back to Elements 8. Can't save file owing to program error - every second or third save - drives me bananas. I know, I know, if I click in the corner of the box a couple of times it works again but I expect a program to work as described not to have to patch it up myself.
So come on Adobe pull your finger out and fix it - I spent my money on your product now you spend some of yours on getting it right.

If you look around at all the forums and support sites you will find this exact same question be asked everywhere concerning numerous bugs. Right now the only answer you get is "try elements 11 you'll like it". So in my humble opinion I think ADOBE plans on fixing the bugs in elements 9 and 10 when you know what freezes over and not a minute sooner. For all those considering elements 11 you might want to wait and see what shows up in the forums concerning any bugs it may have, because based on any past experience they won't fix until next version (12) comes out, in other words you become the beta tester for the next version.

Week 5 - how much longer will it take?

I'm now in my 5th week without a landline and BT seem incapable of getting themselves organized to get it fixed. I've been given date after date for when it will be fixed, dates pass and nothing happens and despite extensive calls and conversations and broken promises (I think lies is a more accurate description perhaps) and buck-passing, the latest date of Fri 7th passed and surprise surprise despite being told on Friday someone would be in touch with me today, nothing!! I emailed AGAIN today and you've got it - nothing again!

How much longer until Reader 8.0 support???

How much longer do we have to wait until ACF's can be used with Adobe Reader 8.0? This is causing us some pain with our customers because they install Reader 8.0 only to find out that it does not support ACF.
Reader 8 has been out 4 months now, how much longer will it take?

Krishanu,
We have installed SP19 as mentioned in not 1036205 however we still get this error message from the ACF installer. This is why I posted my original question as to when SAP will release a fix for the installer.

How much money will I really spend on a $12.99 album pre-order?

I just barely put money on my account and now that I look back, with tax I am afraid I will not have enough money on my itunes account to get the album. I know this is a stupid question, but about how much money will be spent on the album once it comes? And what happens if I don't have enough itunes money? That sales tax in my area is 4.70%

Ironport still blocking due to poor reputation...but for how long ?!

Hi everyone,
Ten days ago hacker compromised user's account on one of our academic linux systems and managed to send high volume of spam messages.
Result in a couple of hours: our mail server's IP got blacklisted and we got burned. ;(
Seven days later our IP address is no more blacklisted, according to ie. http://multirbl.valli.org/dnsbl-lookup/ and couple of others DNSBL listings (Spamcop, Sorbs, Spamhaus, Abuseat.org etc.) Great, we are again able to send email using our mail server's IP.
However, we are STILL NOT able to send email to other parties which use Cisco Ironport email technology, being still blocked in the very beginning of SMTP conversation namely EHLO SMTP client command ..... :
$telnet host.example.com 25
Trying host.example.com...
Connected to host.example.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
554-ironport.example.com
554 Your access to this mail system has been rejected due to the sending MTA's poor reputation. If you believe that this failure is in error, please contact the intended recipient via alternate means.
Connection closed by foreign host.
I understand it's due to a poor reputation we "won" ourselves which can bee seen at Cisco IronPort SenderBase Security Network; http://www.senderbase.org/
Finally, my question:
How much longer should we wait until our reputation gets better? How can we resolve our issues with ironport email security?
Should we just "move" our SMTP server to another IP address (and make accordingly new rDNS entry) and forget the whole thing ever happened?
I suppose nothing of this would had happened if we have had ironport email security in the first place.
Any feedback really appreciated.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Krunoslav.

Hi Andreas,
Thank you for your kind reply.
Botom line: Two days after my post, senderbase cleared us out and everything is again OK. We are again in "good reputation". All ironport appliances which got us blocked in the first place probably got updated (I presume) and all queued emails went out almost in a "burst mode".
I would say it was a very sudden change apparently in ironport appliances due to a change in reputation.
I checked my SMTP logs and concluded that it took us exactly 7 days without being listed on any of blacklists senderbase uses to finally be cleared from it. I'd say one need 7 "incident-free" days for your reputation to get better.
That's my final conclusion after some deep drilling in my system logs.
btw, no other IP address in our /24 RIPE allocated IP address range was mentioned in senderbase.
I did contact one network admin about aforementioned senderbase settings in his ironport but I got very descriptive answer - "....default settings...." ... so I suppose it's up to me to figure out what these "default senderbase settings" are.... anyway , I don't have access to such cisco tehnical documentation so it was a clear shot in the dark....
Kind regards.
Krunoslav

Hi Everyone... need some help if you have some time please..... Thanks in advance!
I bought this used iMac in 2010 and it's been great except that I can't upgrade anymore on it. I have snow leopard and I was told my Apple this is the last upgrade for this computer.
That worries me because my internet browsers will eventually stop working when more they upgrade and my computer is still runing on Snow Leopard.
Can anyone tell me how much longer I'll be able to keep this Mac before I have to replace it? It still works perfectly.

Thanks for responding! so helpful! I was told by apple reps I can't upgrade to Lion and you stated the same thing but then you said if I 'move to lion 10.7' I would be able to?
My firefox doesn't work very well on this computer it's really slow and doesn't load sometimes. and If I use tumblr it's even worse. I can't even scroll.
My main concern is the browser upgrades. I want to make sure this computer can still be upgraded (so I can use netflix for at least another year or 2 etc etc)
Lion is 10.7, Mountain Lion is 10.8.
You should max out your RAM, but the Firefox issue may or may not be RAM related. If you restart and open no other applications but Firefox, do you still experience problems? If you don't, then it's most likely RAM related.
It may be an Add-on responsible for the slow loading. Quit Firefox then reopen it in safe mode, by holding down Option(alt). This will disable all Add-ons. If it appears to work better there, then you need to test by disabling each Add-on one by one to see which is the culprit.
It may also be a corrupted Profile in your Firefox folder. Option-drag the entire Firefox Folder located in your user Library>Application Support. This will make a backup, which you can restore later. You will know it's copying when you see a small circle with a plus sign inside. Don't do this if that doesn't appear. There is a more elegant way to do this, but it may be trickier to get going than what I have suggested.
Next, get a new Firefox application and install that. Doing this will create a new Firefox folder and Profile in that location. See how that one behaves. If it's better, then post back and I can tell you how to migrate things over from the old Profile. If it isn't, then just return the original Firefox folder to that location and allow it to replace the new one.
