  • My Iphone 6 Got Scratches and its just 25 days old.

    I bought iPhone 6 in December 1st week and its been 25 days now.

  • MBP C2D: Kernel Panics all over (11 days old)

    Hi,
    my freshly arrived MBP C2D 15'' is a bit nervous.
    It panics a lot!
    I use it for 11 days now and got about 25 kernel panics, about 15 of it yesterday. Usualy while doing really simple stuff, even while doing nothing(!), like reading a webpage or a mail (not clicking, scrolling or doing anything).
    Worst case I had only safari and adium as active applications.
    It says "unresolved kernel trap" in the panic.log.
    It even hang on bootup, about one second after pushing the button. It than paniced with "no driver for this platform: acpi". It took me several trys, booting windows, resetting pram and finally starting in save mode to boot again into MacOS X.
    Any ideas?
    BTW: I have an uneven backlight too, but it isn't worth the effort to send it back.
    MBP C2D 15'' Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    They surely didn't do an 'Archive and install', cause
    I did not find any backup with old data. (Not that I had left much data to be lost...)
    So at least they did a 'clean and install'.
    Yeah, zeroing out a drive takes time. But long term test do too. So does a MLB replacement. So I leave it up to the Support do decide if its the best (or first) thing to do. They are the experts, aren't they?
    OK, Apple could reproduce my errors and they changed the MLB. And your advice is that I should have no "reason to suppose that this point that you have anything but a software issue". OK. Your opinion.
    I can't recall if all panics happend with the AC adapter pluged in or not. But I got them pluged in to power outlets several hundred kilometers appart. So if it was about power fluctuations, they should be random an minimal, and well within spec.
    "Apple can only be responsible for so much"
    Yes. They are responsible for delivering to me a product (both hard- and software) which fulfils any advertised properties including anything from common practice.
    An advertised property is "works out of the box". Which means to me, I don't have to zero out my HD and re-install my OS just to use it.
    Something from common practice is, that I can install third party software. Apple is not responsible for that software, but (at least during the one-year waranty) I'm not the one who has to prove which software causes an error. (Of course they will make me pay, if they prove it was the third party software)
    Another thing from common practice is, that a computer has to be reliable to a certain degree. In my opinion this is clearly more than a week. If this is longer than they are willing to wait to reproduce the error: not my problem.
    I just have to prove the error exists. I don't have to make the error reproducable by them.
    I'm sorry if all this sounded harsh to you. But I'm a little bit fed up with the situation. It's not that cheap to by a Mac. All I wan't is to use what I have bought.

  • HT4623 I keep getting error 21 when trying to restore and update my 4 day old iPhone 5?

    I try to update and restore my new iphone 5 becasue it is stuck in recovery mode but i come across error 21 message every time during restore. VERY FRUSTRATING as i only got this wonderful product 3 days ago!

    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • To create a script and schedule which purge 30 days old files

    Hi Friends,
    Very new in Unix and i got a requirement like writing a script and schedule it, so that it removes 30 days old files from all the log locations of a unix box.
    Suppose i have a unix server ltbamdev1 and in this server i have a mount point opt/bam. In this mount point i have 3 different folders like
    /ltbamdev1/oracle/install/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/opmn/logs
    /ltbamdev1/oracle/install/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/bpel/domains/default/logs
    /ltbamdev1/oracle/install/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/bpel/domains/support/logs
    Please help me in writing a script which runs once a week and removes all 30 days old files from these three folder locations.
    Thanks in advance

    If you don't have the log file(s) in question, then you need to:

    advance the CSN to a point in time where you do have log files and deal with missing data separately
    Is an archived transaction log missing?
    ● Extract reads the archived logs when an online log is not available. If you started
    Extract after it was stopped for a long time, the records it needs to process might
    already be archived away.
    ● Restore the archive log that is specified in the error message in the report file, and also
    restore all subsequent logs.
    NOTE Extract should not be stopped for a long time. If you must stop Extract, make
    certain that archives are available all the way back to the time that you stopped
    Extract. If Extract remains stopped for an exceptionally long time, it might be more
    practical to resynchronize the table(s) rather than wait for Extract to go through the
    archives and catch up.

  • Remove unnecessary transport requests which are 7 days old

    Hi All,
    I would like to delete all the un-necessary transport requests which are displayed in STMS which are more than 7 days old.
    But, the import log should be available whenever i need to verify.
    Is there any script which can do this?
    Thanks
    Vijay

    Hi,
    I do have a similiar situation, I would like to write a script to remove transports that have successfully transported and are over 7 days old.   In STMS currently we have a list of every transport that has ever been sent and there is no need.  Note that via SE10 we still want to see transport history even for old transports just remove the old ones from STMS. Hopefully I feel some script does this job and no idea on this scripts.
    Can someone throw light on this and help me out.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Bharadwaj.

  • Hi, I was just wondering how much it would cost to repair the rear camera of my iPhone 4s. I dropped it and it won't work and I hear something rattling inside when I shake it. How much would it cost to fix?

    If you have a tool, try removing the battery cover and chech out. Some times the camera pin may have been misplaced. If so, you can fix it yourself.

  • I have an iPhone 5 and when i lightly tap on the back top part of my phone it sounds like something is rattling inside. Only on the top part of the phone, not on the bottom. I am wondering if anyone knows what this may be and should i have it looked at?

    Definitlely have it looked at. That could be a hardware deffect on the maker(apple) so there could be a definite replacement option.

  • Transporting MBP: Sleep, Hibernation and dangers to hard disk

    I used to transport my MBP by closing the lid and putting it in my backpack. Recently, however, it started to overheat when I do that. At first I thought it was some bug, maybe it hadn't gone to sleep properly. But then it happened again. I started to manually putting it to sleep before closing the lid, but no luck. It happened again. It happened 3 or 4 times in about 2 months and then the computer stopped working properly and I had to take it to professionals. They said I should NEVER put it in my backpack in sleep mode. Maybe if it's a 5min trip only, but not otherwise. They said the hard disk is not completely shut off in this mode and so carrying it around in movement may damage it. They checked my computer and said that indeed it was a hard disk problem, and that now that it was changed it's working fine. They said I should always shut it down before transporting it, which is a pain. (I live in Rio and it's above 30ºC most of the year, maybe that contributes to these heating problems, don't know…)
    What annoys me is that I haven't found any official statement about it by Apple. I know people who never turn it off and even I did it without any problem for years with my previous MBP (well, in fact it died one day out of the blue and I have no clue why). Actually I can only assume based on discussions that the computer actually goes to sleep mode when I shut the lid, and I can only speculate about what this actually means because I haven't found any official information regarding it. I found that there's a mode called "hibernationmode 25" which is supposed to be essencially the same as shutting down the computer and saving the current RAM data to the hard disk. But I haven't found any official statement confirming this. I don't know if it really is as safe to carry it shut down as in this mode. Does anybody know where I can find official information about this? Or if there's any reliable way to contact Apple itself and actually get a reply?
    Thanks!

    The Expert, Professional, you spoke to has NO clue. When any computer is put to Sleep, irrespective of what OS is installed (OS X or Windows) and what version of that OS, the only part that is supposed to be kept alive is the RAM and even that will go to sleep and dump it's contents onto the hard drive after an extended period of time if the system also has the hibernation mode set to do so. It then goes into a Deep Sleep state basically turning off completely.
    I suspect what you are seeing it the system is trying to go from standard sleep mode to the Deep Sleep Hibernate mode and when that happens it must partially wake up to write the RAM data to the hard drive. At that point your system is not going back into either sleep mode or the Deep Sleep mode and that is when it heats up.
    There are also many reports of Mac's of all ages crashing when trying to wake up from sleep and most of the time this is after it has gone into the Deep Sleep state and when you try to wake it the system doesn't or can't put back into the RAM the data that was written to the hard drive causing the system to hang and force a hard shutdown and restart.
    I personally solve that problem by turning off the Hibernate system and deleting the Sleep Image file that is used to store the RAM data. So my MBP never going into that Deep Sleep state and I have never had a problem waking it whether after a few minutes or a day or so of being asleep. And it has never woken up on its own in my computer bag.
    But to answer your question, statement from that Professional, the hard drive turns off completely when the system is put to sleep.

  • MBP 2011 died and having problems reinstalling Mac OS

    Hello,
    Having problems trying to make my MBP start working again...
    Tech info:
    Early 2011 MBP, 10.6.6 preinstalled Mac OS X
    2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
    8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
    256GB Solid State Drive
    SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
    MacBook Pro 17-inch Hi-Resolution Antiglare Widescreen Display
    Was full updated up to date 3-4 days ago, so probably it was 10.6.7 before the crash.
    I am pretty new to Macs and english is not my first language, so please excuse me if i use wrong terminology. Thanks.
    It is pretty long story, the problem is - i can not install Mac OS X and make it work. The at the moment description of the situation is in Part 6, so you might want to skip parts 1-5, although reading those might be needed to understand the source of the problem or some details.
    The Story:
    Everything worked great for about a month but then multi-language kernel panic windows asking me to reboot computer poped up. Reboot didnt help and it kept asking me for more and more reboots after like 1 minute after it logs in into Mac Os.
    I had 3 programms(among others) installed: Kaspersky(fully updated trial), Parallels(activated a month age oem version, runing Windows 7 as a virtual machine without using Bootcamp) and virtualbox(activated 2 weeks ago, not being used or opened for ~10 days).
    Part 1 - After logging into Mac OS 2 messages always pop'ed up:
    1) Kaspersky couldnt lunch in previous Mac OS startup(not current)
    2) Parallels message: Its time to choose either to use trial Parallels or to enter activation key. Thats really weird because it was activated a month ago, was fully updated and worked great every day. When i tried to activate it again it just didnt accept the key which was accepted last time: the icon was still grey and not clickable, rechecked 10 times at that moment.
    Ok, decided to uninstall both Kaspersky and Parallels via Safe Mode. Safe Mode is working fine. Removed programms by dragging them from application folder to trash can. Worked fine. Logged into normal mode. No messages appear except the "Hello, you had kernel last time", but still Kernel appear in 2-3 minutes. Logging in 32b mode(by pressing 32 while booting up) doesn't help either.
    Part 2 - Rebooted. Booted from boot DVD and used Disk utility - nothing is wrong.
    Went to safe mode again. Found Kernel Log and it showed me that the source of the error was some file of VirtualBox(at least it has virtualbox in its name. Virtualbox itself, again, wasn't launched for like 10 days) located in /extension folder. Removed virtualbox program by dragging it from applications folder to trash. Worked fine, but those files in /extension folder weren't deleted. I am pretty new to Macs, so i wasn't sure if those are really VirtualBox programm's files or Mac OS system files, so i decided to reboot and check if the problem still not fixed.
    Result: You cant boot neither in normal mode or in Safe mode. It just doesnt react on anything.
    No backups. Great.
    Part 3. Booted via boot DVD. Worked fine. Checked if disc was ok - it wasn't ok. Tried to repair - cant repair, suggests me to reinstall.
    Made a backup on external HDD(have it atm, so iа you need any info i can get from that backup to help you guys understand what happened - ask and i will give it to you asap).
    Erased internal HDD with zeroes(1 row), it still has 4 files on it(around 300 mb), probably those are the files copied from Boot DVD, but i am not sure.
    Part 4. Tried to install Mac OS from boot DVD. File system is for Mac os with journaled option activated. Installation process starts fine but at some point(around 25-30% while telling me its around 30 minutes left) the error message appears telling mу the installation couldn't be continued because it cant copy some files from DVD(no particullar files mentioned). Advising me to reboot and try again. Same thing happens always.
    DVD disk was never used and even not unpacked before, looks fine...
    Part 5. Inserted the boot DVD in another mac, made a copy via disk utility in mac os(without booting using this disc), copied it to external drive where the backup is. So there are 2 files on external drive: backup.dmg and starupDVD.dmg.
    Pulled in the external hdd to MBP and tried clicking option key to choose him to boot from HDD. Nothing happens, just mouse appears without any windows where i can choose the boot option. Weird. Tried all 3 usb ports, same problem. Tried to put the DVD disk and click option key - both mouse and window appears, but only DVD boot option avaivable.
    Tried to reset RAM by clicking Command-Option-P-R keys. Reset went fine(the sound and so on), but it didn't effect on anything.
    Part 6(this very moment): So here i am. Have erased internal HDD with 4 files in it(around 300 mb, dont know what), boot DVD which came along with MBP with 10.6.6 MaсOS, external HDD with the same DVD and backup.
    Disk utility says my internal HDD is ok.
    Clicking option key doesnt make my MBP see external HDD while it is plugged in any usb port, only mouse appears. Same option key sees dvd disk if it is plugged in and boots normally.
    You can see and work with external HDD if you boot from boot DVD.
    Installation process starts both fine on internal and external HDDs. On internal it crashed with "cant copy files" message at ~20-30%(~30 minutes left), on external the screen just turns grey with moveable mouse on it without any messages at around 30%(~40 minutes left).
    External HDD - Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1TB USB 3.0
    Internal HDD - 256gb SSD which came from Apple (sorry for calling it internal HDD)
    Think its pretty much it...
    What should i do to make this thing work? Pretty much desperate already.
    Thank You for any help.
    Sincerely yours,
    Alexander.

    Just one more thing - the description of what i did while first Kernel appeared:
    Happened 2 days ago. Wasn't turning it off for like a day, only sleep mode by closing it. Worked fine all day, wasn't doing anything, except for checking mail 2-3 times and having windows 7 virtual machine opened but doing nothing, everything was going fine. Then closed it without turning off.
    Opened 3-4 hours later, everything was working fine for 30 minutes of checking mail, then Kernel appeared. After that pretty much everything i did is described in part 1-5.
    Note: all the time MBP was connected to internet via wifi, so updates to both MBP and virtual machine of all programs were possible.
    I only shared downloads and desktop folders, so windows couldn't have access to system folder of Mac Os.
    Hope this might help...Thanks again.

  • My lap top is extremly slow. It studders. It kind of sounds like there is a fan inside and it constantly stopping and starting. And, it takes a really long time for it too start up. Whats wrong with it?

    Do you have current backups?
    Those symptoms could indicate a failing Hard drive. If it dies, all your documents go with it unless you have Backups.
    I have had very good luck with physical and battery problem diagnosis at the Genius Bar. Those guys put their hands (and their ears) to these machines, all day every day, and they know immediately what all those sounds mean.

  • 2 day old MBP not running off AC adapter.

    My two day old MBP is refusing to tun off of the charger. Yesterday I had no problems with it, But now when I plug in the magsafe the light doesn't come on or anything.
    Twice I have switched the power outlet that the charger was plugged into and it worked until I looked at the battery charge level in both Leopard and WinXP. At witch point the charger quit working.
    Battery currently at 41% and charger still not working.

    Yes... send it in for repair or take it to an Apple retail store or authorized service provider for diagnosis and/or repair.
    You have called Apple support by now haven't you?

Maybe you are looking for
