Mac Book - repair 3 to 4 times a year.
Our company used your Mac Book for design purposes, but we are facing the problem with your Mac Book.(serial no.:C0********F8V) 1)need repair and change software/hardware 3 times for a year with the same issue. But the repair process take time for 2 to 3 weeks everytime, this will affected our work and make huge losses for our company for the business. 2) The Apple Malaysia Support team can not give us the answer why need repair for the same issue so often for this Mac Book? We can not get the right answer. 3) repair or change software/hardware cost more than RM2000/repair, if after warranty period, we are repair 3-4 times per year, really cost us a lot. We have very faith in your products, we hope you can solve our issue. Thank you and best regards Sinarmas Santan Sdn. Bhd. Lim Kian Keng

You may have to try & contact Apple main support, outside your region, to see if someone there can assist you in resolving issues of support and service with your product. There is a worldwide page of contact information and there also is a page of more corporate contacts; so I do not know if there is a procedure for someone outside the US/Canada to contact their main offices for help. Each region country has its own phones.
Perhaps you could try your luck with using the click-on box in the web page to start a new dialog with someone in Apple Support about this problem of re-occurring unreliable repairs and loss-of-use? Maybe if someone far enough up the chain was contacted, you may be able to get some action. Of course at this level on a discussion forum, we're not able to do anything but suggest, within limited bounds.
When you had the computer repaired, did you get a repair ticket number or incident code, or any paper trail that could be followed back to say this issue & repair action has been repeatedly unsatisfactorily attempted? In some regions, repeated failure to repair a product can get a different level of intervention at the Apple end of the business, but in your country, I have no idea on how to get there.
Here are a few usual links:
Apple - How To Contact US (us page)
http://www.apple.com/contact/
Contact Apple for support & service:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
(note in this page, additional links to see all world-
wide phone numbers, find service providers, etc)
Not sure if any of that will help, but you could try to get some kind of accomodation by escalating the repair problems and repeated troubles, to a supervisor or other oversight.
Given you use the product for business and it has not been right, that may (or may not) mean something to an advanced level personnel. In the US, there are emails of some higher-up persons, but they may not intervene in an outside region. Sales support, service support, product experts, and the like may be sparse in some regions outside of North America.
Sorry to not have an answer.
Good luck & happy computing!

Mid 2010 mac book pro crashing too many times!!!
HELP! I'm basically fed up with my mac book pro crashing so many times in a day. I'm not doing anything tedious, just basic web surfing and music and some microsoft word/excel. I've read that someone recommended to run EtreCheck and paste the result here so anyone that knows how to read them can help me figure out what's happening!
Problem description:
My Mac book pro have been crashing lately. I’ve max out my RAM to 8gb. And the frequency seems to increased to few times in a day. I’ve uninstalled a software that I suspect to be causing the problem but it didn’t help.
EtreCheck version: 2.1.8 (121)

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
If the issue is to do with Safari, then you may need to reset it.

My mac book air suddely disconnects many times the wifi while using wifi
my mac book air suddely disconnects many times the wifi while using wifi
Lots of things can impact wifi connections. If you are at the marginal edge of the wifi range (which depends not only on distance, but what's between you and the transmitter) you may find the connection dropping in and out. Sometimes a minor repositioning of the computer or transmitter can solve the issue.
As well, interference can also create problems. For instance, microwave ovens are really good at disrupting 2.4Ghz signals, and that the frequency used most often in wifi routers--so if someone turns on the microwave and it's between you and the transmission point it won't be surprising if the connection drops. As well, metal blocks the signal fairly effectively, so if (say) ductwork is between the CPU and the wireless router there can be problems.
Finally, I've run into some combos of devices and routers that just don't seem to like each other :-) . That said, I've not hit that problem with either Air I'm running (an 11" and a 13"), though obviously I've not tried to connect them to every type of router out there.
Just this week I was at a hotel and in my room the hotel wifi was "interesting" with every device I tried (iPhone, Android phone, Kindle Fire, iPad and the two Airs) dropping connection regularly from the work desk. Turned out if I moved the devices over to the nightstand on the other end of the room (not the best work environment) all of the problems went away, so it clearly was a signal issue and the exact layout of that room and the hotel's wifi.
If the machine has a problem when positioned close to a variety of routers, then I'd suspect a hardware issue with the wifi card in the Air and get that checked by Apple. Similarly, if your problem is with your home router, I'd check to see if other devices also are getting dropped, since there could be a hardware issue on the router. -
Mac Book OSX 10.6.8: Time machine error or corrupted external hard drive?
Mac Book OSX 10.6.8: Time machine runs fine and no error messages show after the process is complete. However, none of the new files or documents are saved to the back up. It is as if the drive is recopying an older backup and placing a new time stamp on it.
Nevermind. My friend was looking in the wrong folder for his files. They were saved under the desktop folder in the Users folder not the overall Desktop folder.

My Mac book pro keeps saying "connection time out occurred" I have a 2011 pro with all the latest updates. It keeps doing it and it really annoys me! Please help!
Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain. -
Hy ,
My mac pro (SL 10.6.8) wakes up every minutes when I use wake on lan and I share one of my Hard Drive.
When I unplug the ethernet cable it doesn't wake any more so I suppose that some thing wakes it up on my network ( 1 printer canon MP620, 2 mac books, 2 iPads, 2 IPhones and 2 time capsules !) ...even when all these devices are "sleeping"
Any idea?
THKS
Phil

I have problems pairing my Apple TV with my Mac and Iphone 4s. There was some connection between MAC and the App.TV when my operating system was LEOPARD. I now have OS Lion and there is no connection. I also could not find the AirPlay icon on the my Iphone. What do I do? Any recommendations?
Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,

No problem at all.
Just put it on a flat surface where it can dissipate the heat generated (a table will be fine).
After a week of that kind of usage you'd better let the batteries works for a few hours -
My computer will not hold a charge more than a half hour....
