Keys getting dirty look--paint wearing off! What does Apple do for this?
This is dismaying. I received a brand new MacBook Pro (early 2008 model) from Apple only a few months ago and the silver paint on several keys is already wearing off! They're getting that dirty look. See http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=451259
I went through something similar with an old iBook G4... On those, the keys' lettering wore off. Apple service was responsive for sure, although it was pretty silly that they kept sending me replacement keyboards Instead of individual keys or decals. After pushing by me, they even sprung for one of those iSkin plasticky keyboard covers (which turned out it interferes with typing and some say can cause a heat problem). Eventually, they sent me a 4th keyboard that didn't wear out at all. So, it seems that they fixed that issue.
Has Apple solved this paint wearing problem for the MBP's? Do I just go the Apple Care route--again-- and do they send out an entire keyboard? What have other people experience and done?
In this case, obviously, they can't send decals as this keyboard is the backlit (underlit) kind!
This is a known issue with the Early 2008 MBP (as well as earlier models). It has nothing to do with dirty hands, or lotions or hands or anything else. Just from plain old use, it wears down the paint on the keys.
The MBP keyboard keys are no longer removable one by one on that model and onward -- you have to bring your MBP into an Apple Store (or call Apple Care) - they will take it in, change it out for a new keyboard (its under warranty for one year, and if you have Apple Care for two additional years). If you are beyond the one year warranty and did not purchase Apple Care, then you will have to pay to have it replaced (probably a couple hundred dollars plus shipping).
The turnaround for something like that is usually about a week if you have to send it in, and a day if you go to the Apple Store. The Apple Store, after deeming it a repair issue, will order the keyboard. Then they will call you to bring in your MBP and leave it for the time it is required for them to fix it -- usually an afternoon, or overnight.
But this is a well-documented and much discussed issue over the years -- it occured to my old MBP as well. Luckily, I have three apple stores all within a half hour drive of me, so I don't worry about those sorts of things. But it's annoying if you have to send it it.

My iphone plus is bending, what does Apple offer regarding this issue?
I am trying to get to contact with Apple Customer Care, but not clear to me how to do it beside this channel of communication. I bought the phone from kosovar carrier which is under Slovenian ownership. This means that the original warranty comes from Slovenia, bit complicated but still I would like to get an urgent answer how to proceed with this issue, thanksMaybe i should have only asked if anyone is aware on apple's policy
regarding bending. I took the point that this seems not a proper forum to
pose Q's to apple thanks to both

What does Apple do for it's employees........
Just a general question. I have this topic on different businesses for business class and what/how the company treats it's employees. Do you guys have any information that could help me on it? What does Apple do for it's employees, in terms of the type of work environment. How they treat their employees. What benefits are given to it's employees. Etc. Thanks!
Welcome to Discussions - you would probably get an answer if you wrote to Apple Inc., 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, Ca 95014. They would be able to give you the information you want. Otherwise, go to apple.com/legal which might also have what you want.

My iphone 3gs is not working how it used to it is slower and pising me off what can apple do for me?
my phone isnt working like it used to and what i mean by that is i get no service anywhere btw i have at&t i live in new york and i would just like to know what apple can do for me can they fix it or not or give me a better phone or something i would like to know
Why does Apple need to do anything for you?
Have you attempted any basic troubleshooting like reset, restart, restore?
Have you verified that the issue is your device and not just the service in your area or your SIM card?
Have you restored as new to eliminate the possibility that data on your device is not the problem?
Frankly, your post comes across as some jerk demanding the problem being fixed without any user intervention/assistance. Maybe that is not what you intended, but that is the way it comes across. -
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT - What does Apple use for replacement?
I have had 'issues' with my display on my MBP 2.4 since Jan. '08. I've documented this w/ Applecare (so there is a list of reported issues so they can see there's a problem as it's not something I can replicate at the Genius bar). It's still under warranty, but my concern, and question is this...
I'd like it fixed. But, If I bring in my MBP (again) to Apple and let's say they say it is the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT that's faulty, WHAT WILL THEY REPLACE IT WITH? Another 'faulty' chip? [I realize the whole board has to be replaced]
Is there a definitive answer to what NVIDIA chip Apple would use? I've read that they are using the SAME likely-faulty product. That is not good news. And if NVIDIA has acknowledged the problem, do they have a FIXED Chipset for this model?My best guess is that the replacement boards also have the faulty chip. The fact that the affected MBP production run all the way to the last ones made (Sep 08) leads me to believe the there is no other option but to use the same video chips. BTW please do not assume that since the nvidia chip is soldered on the logic board that it can't be replaced. These Rev.2 boards could very well be just rebuild ones with the video chip replaced at a central workshop equipped to do such a thing.

What does Apple charge for replacement batteries?
I just upgraded my 2 year old iphone 4s to a 5s
but when I had the iphone 4s, I started to notice once it got to the 2 year mark,
it wasn't holding a charge as long as it used to. I mean the battery still worked,
but if I hadn't have upgraded to the 5s, I would have had a dead battery within
a couple months..
I didn't notice that myself until after I got this one. So far its held a charge for an
entire day and my 4s wasn't even coming close to holding a charge for an entire day,
but at the time I just thought it had something to do with IOS 7 on the 4s.
So this leads me to my question.
If you purchase an iphone, and something happens to the battery,
or doesn't hold a charge as long er something like that,
how much does Apple charge to replace it?
The 4s I got from the apple store online, but because I did a trade up this time,
I ended up getting it from Best Buy because most of the other stores were out
of the 16 gig model.
I know best buy does 'em too but how much do they charge for battery replacements normally?
I imagine its not the full price of the phone is it?oh ok well thats not too bad. Good to know

Does anyone know what protectio Apple has for this virus that is supposed to shut us out of the internet on Monday?

I swithced it on by clicking on options when I start up and then clicked on Macintosh HD. the other option was a question mark and network drive.
Is there a way to ensure it never happens again, what is the cause for this problem, if I need to uninstall some application, i am happy to do it as long as I know what is causing this conflict.
many thanks!Something is not making sense here.
You claim this is a brand new machine and you have not tried to install Windows or Boot Camp.
Then why would you ever even go into System Preferences > Startup Disk and choose Macintosh HD? It should have automatically booted into Macintosh HD.
You're probably going to have to reinstall Mac OS X. -
I purchased a disk copy of CS6 Design and Web Premium from a reputable seller last week and when I try to install it with the serial number I got it says "We are unable to validate this serial number for CS6 Design and Web Premium. Please contact Customer Support." What is the reason for this?
Is the serial number invalid?Hi Ned,
Thanks for the suggestion. I eventually got in touch with Adobe Technical Support and it turned out that my Adobe Application Manager was not the latest version. They downloaded the latest version and installed it and that seemed to solve the problem. I was able to install my CS6 Creative Suite and validate the serial number. All seems to be going well at the moment. -

TIPS to simplify Excise JV transactions: - (J1IH)
1. Assigning Excise Invoices to Line Items
Use: - When you make an adjustment posting, you follow this procedure if you want to specify the original excise invoice associated with a line item.
Procedure: -
1. Select the line item that you want and choose Get excise invoice.
The system displays a list of all the excise invoices that you have posted from this vendor for this particular material.
2. Select the excise invoice that you want and click on u201CEnteru201D button.
The system:
u2022 Enters the excise invoice document number in the Ref. doc. field (Reference document).
u2022 Calculates how much of the excise duty from the excise invoice should be apportioned to the line item and enters it in the excise duty fields.
If you then overwrite these amounts, you should also overwrite the reference document number with an explanatory text, since there is no point in maintaining the link to the reference document anymore.
For e.g. you have a line item with ten plates of glass that you have broken and are to be scrapped. You have three excise invoices from the same vendor to choose from. You pick one for 20 plates of glass with BED at INR 200. The system automatically apportions INR 100 to the line item that is to be reversed.
2. Specifying Which CENVAT Accounts to Adjust
Use: - When you make an adjustment posting, you have to specify which CENVAT accounts are to be adjusted.
Procedure: -
1. Choose Determine G/L accounts.
A dialog box appears that shows how much will be posted to which G/L accounts. The accounts that are displayed depend on the excise group and the CENVAT account that you entered on the selection screen.
2. Add another account, if you need to, and adjust the other postings so that the credits and debits match.
3. Enter a business area and cost center, if necessary.
4. To close the dialog box, click on u201CEnteru201D button.
3. Displaying CENVAT Account Balances
To display the balances of your CENVAT accounts, choose Balances.
The system displays the balances only of the CENVAT accounts that are affected by your G/L postings.
J1IS - Excise Invoice for Other Movements
You use this transaction to create Outgoing Excise Invoice for Vendor Return using ref. doc. type "MATD" (Material Doc - 122 Movement Type).
And Print the same in J1IV
Excise post & print for others mvmts (J1IV)
This is used to post the Excise documents of other movements (For e.g. Excise Invoice for Vendor Return) to FI and also used to take printout of the same.
Here In selection screen, enter Internal Doc of Excise doc and year then click Goto > Releaee to Accounting and also you can print using Goto > Print document.
