MLB Replacement-7 days Start to Finish-APPLE ROCKS!!!

I've seen several threads where folks (especially students) were wondering how long replacing the MLB would take so here's my experience for what it is worth to those wondering if they should send theirs in or not. Note that I am in the USA-Midwest area:
I called Apple on Wednesday 8-9-06, received the box via DHL on Thursday 8-10-06, dropped the box off at DHL Shipping Office (close to work so I didn't have them pick it up) on Friday 8-11-06; Apple Repair Facility in Houston TX received it on Monday, Repaired on Tuesday, Sent back on Wednesday and received today 8-16-06.
As I type my MPB so far is cooler and more quiet (ahhhh)! I haven't tried it on battery yet and I'll add to this post if something crops (or heats) up.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5)
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5)

After reading all the posts about what was being done to fix the heat and whine I assumed that the same fix (new MLB) would be applied to mine. I wasn't 100% sure that Apple would replace the MLB but they did. Note that my MBP hasn't had some of the problems that other folks have had (yet I might add) which include SuperDrive issues, warped keyboards, etc. which may have added additional days to the repair time.

Bought my I-Pad in Nov. Just Wi-Fi. Use almost every day and re-charge battery at 50%-- usually every 3-4 days. Just finished re-charging to 100% today and was playing a video when it just stopped working. Only picture of the Apple logo.

Stopped and I turned it off and when I turned it back on, just got the Apple Logo. is the battery no good after only 6 months?

The battery is not likely the culpret. Something to hung up. You need to reboot:
Hold the home and power button at the same time for about 10 seconds (Keep holding past the swipe to shut down) and when the Apple Logo again appears, let go and your iPad should come back to life.

I have 2 iphone 4s that nedd battery replacement. Can I go to apple store and have battery replaced on same day?

Probably, but you need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar.

Replacement Needed. This iphone is not able to complete the activation process and needs to be replaced. Please visit your nearest apple store or authorized service center.

Probably will never ever think of buying a locked phone from AT&T cause its one of the worst system integrations ever that these companies could think of.
The entire problem started when I put in a request with at&t to unlock my iphone 4s (ios7) which did get approved. I performed the entire instructions they asked me to do, which is to backup and restore. After doing those instructions my iphone gave me an error message below
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
The SIM card that you currently installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.
Basically saying that at&t hasn't still unlocked the iphone which a really helpful apple executive was able to confirm. I initiated another unlock process from at&t in order to unlock the iphone, just to be sure that its not something wrong from my end. The nice at&t lady stayed on chat with me to unlock the iphone step my step while I was calling the apple tech too. And the apple tech confirmed again that the iphone is locked to at&t.
Now, just a few minutes ago I tried another restore to see if any progress is being made and to my surprise I got an error message saying
Replacement Needed. This iphone is not able to complete the activation process and needs to be replaced. Please visit your nearest apple store or authorized service center.
I feel like I am just going around these two different "money hogger" companies which set certain rules and regulations to screw a regular phone buyer. I purchased this iphone in USA and trying to unlock in India, is it really this hard to simply unlock a device.
For now I am going to try to call a apple office in india (apprently we don't have very many out here) and see if they can help me. But any other assistance regarding unlocking an iphone 4s would be helpful. I have however, tried checking IMEI.info, called up apple, talked to at&t (which always say go talk to apple) I do have a case number from apple as well in case an apple executive reads this discussion forum (case number: 566383594)
Thanks

You got a confirmation from AT&T that it was authorized. Is this correct? - Yes i did get an email authorization on the 21st.
Then you connected the phone to a computer with the latest version of iTunes installed. You clicked on the phone's name in iTunes, then clicked "Backup Now". - Yes
When that finished you clicked "Restore iPhone" (NOT "Restore Backup") - Yes
Are you with me so far? - Yes.
And @ Varjak is right that after the 3rd restore I get the replacement error.
Plus I have NEVER jailbroken the iPhone. To give you another update, I spoke to a really nice apple tech in India who was atleast able to get me out of the replacement error by doing a recovery mode option. However, the lastest restore still gives me the same error

How many still suffer problems after MLB replacement !?

Hi,
I've had my MacBook for around 4 weeks now, 1.5 of them spent in repair after one kernel panic and the inability to start up afterwards. I received it back yesterday and everything worked fine all night.
I'm currently at work so haven't had chance to check myself, but my girlfriends just rang me to say that the computer won't boot up !?
I think if there is another issue I'll be demanding my money back and purchasing something I can rely on like a MacMini !?
Has anyone else suffered similar problems after an MLB replacement !?
I understand that there are work arounds like resetting the PRAM etc, but would you accept this if say you'd bought a new car and after it having problems on ignition being told by the dealer that it'll work, but you have to remove the battery and clean the spark-plugs every time you want to use it !!
I think Apple should really start offering replacements or people there money back, and even start recalling them until they've identified the problem !!

Hi,
At this point after more than a month of having your MacBook, you cannot get a full refund, or return the MacBook either. My friend has tried to do that with his MacBook, but Apple will not allow them to return or even exchange the MacBook. Soory about that, but if you continue to allow Apple to fix the problems, you will get a working MacBook eventually. By the way, you may want to ask your girlfriend to reseat the battery, make sure the computer is plugged, and if that doesn't work try resestting the NVRAM and the PMU. Also, you can try and reseat the RAM. Hope this helps.

Warranty on iPhone is not international, but valid only in country of
original sale. Since you purchased the iPhone in Australia, your warranty
is valid only in Australia. You must either personally return the iPhone
to Australia for evaluation and possible replacement or sent it to someone
in Australia to take into Apple for the evaluation. Apple will not accept
international shipments for repair nor will Apple ship out of the country
after replacement.
Sorry to be the bearer of this news, but it is the way iPhone warranty and
replacement has always worked.

There must be a simpler way ( from start to finish ). .

( I did a search, but the keywords must have been too broad )
What i describe below worked, but i know a more experienced editor would smile at the unnecessary amount of effort . . .
At a recent School Centenary I was contracted to spend the whole day collecting stories
I kept some rough paper notes on the start and stop times of each group interview sessions over 6 tapes
so
To reduce wear and tear on the camera transport I captured each tape as low grade clips of about 25 min each ( equated roughly to each interview session )
from there I:
a - set up a sequence named as Seq # and dragged only each 1 long clip into it
b - used the razor tool on THE TIMELINE to cut each clip containing one anecdote per slice
c - deleted stuff that was obviously unusable
d - set up a bin titled something like "session #"
e - dragged the whole of the remaining clips in that sequence # into the bin
f - repeated the above steps 10 more times .
so then :
g - I set up about 20 bins, named to match categorizations that the anecdotes could be "collected" into
h - took one slice ( from b ) at a time from each Interview session into THE VIEWER
i - trimmed the in and out points closer to where i wanted them
j - dropped them back into one of the 'subject' bins set up in (g) according to content
k - there were some that needed markers to cut away long pauses, flights of irrelevancies etc, and i made a sub-clip of each
l - spent some time renaming clips, filling text in log note and label fields in case things went awry later
then for recapture:
m - I set up a new sequence named for each category to match (g)
n - dragged the whole contents of each of those bins on to it
o - did the media manager cut down thing
p - opened the original bins at (d) and made all the [ now discrete ] clips offline
q - re-captured that tape.
at the end of all that ( 11 times over ) I did the final polish and went from there.
It looks long, and in a sense it was, but I was trying to avoid problems that I usually have with relying too much on Sub-clips.
Indeed, between steps (p) and (q), some clips had different In/Out points but shared media start and finish, so I manually added offline clips, and with some fancy dancing, got them to replace the disobedient clips that were sending my deck into infinity.
You'll spot a better way to do things, and no doubt it may involve a different handling of Sub-clips.
suggestions, anyone?
thanks
~rob v

sorry not to get back sooner - I've been too flat busy
Mostly after creating subclips from markers, when time came to recapture, they would run the deck (cam) over and over the same parts of the whole clip for just their little extent to be lifted, even though their defined regions were not overlapping and indeed nowhere near each other. I also remember a tim ewhen they'd recapture the full amount of the parent clip anywaywith the I/O markers set as per prior to recapture.
In essence, what i've described in a very verbose manner from (a) to (l) above is all the stuff along the way of rough cutting. Admittedly i didn't need to do (m) or (n) and could have done the recapture after Making Clips Offline without the need for setting up sequences in parallel.
As it was when i did do the deed from the different tapes, they all nicely uprez'd in their positions in the sequences i wanted them - so in that regard i did do it all in one swoop.
What I choose to do however is always have my work at such a self-explanatory stage so that if my assistant or even i get interrupted for a few weeks on something else and have to return, we dont want to spend any time readjusting our head-space to what we were were doing ( and risk a costly mistake if we interpreted wrongly where the project was at )
And besides i never trust any machine, code routine or whatever other smarts presented before me. I like things where i can keep track of what the programme is doing in the background, in case i need to snaffle the very thing from the disk cache manually. Its happened! and I didn't lose time or money. I'll pay the price of doing things the long way round.
however i will take advice if there is a more elegant way of being so-minded.

Is the iPhone 5 charger replaced under warranty if one has Apple Care?

I'll let you in on a bit of a secret. Apple retail staff (Specialists, Geniui and Floor Mangers) have a great deal of leeway when it comes to customer appeasement. When rapport breaks down, the customer is less likely to enjoy that leeway. Chances are, no matter who made the intial call, it will be reinforced regardless of how high it goes up the supervisory chain.
The item you went in for retails for $19. They probably misplace four or five of them each day. If they sent you home without one, there was likely a good reason for that.

Hi friends i have mac pro . every day start up probelm

hi friends i have mac pro . every day start up probelm how can i solved pls tell me
<Email Edited By Host>

Hello, which exact Mac & OS version is it?
If not 10.7/Lion try this...
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Should i be able to replace my broken ipad in jeddha apple store?

hi apple family
i bought an ipad 2 from sydney apple store more than a year ago.it's no warranty since its been more than a year.my ipad screen has broken down after i have been Bangladesh.I have a plan to visit jeddha in the last of this month.should i be able to replace/fixup my ipad in jeddha apple store? looking for an authentic answer.
Best regards
Irfan.

It should charge independetely from the fact that it you are watching videos or not (at least mine does), eventhough it might take longer.
Are you sure the charger is ok? Mine started giving me some problems and it would charge some times and others it didn't. Therefore I thought it was the computer and not the charger (usually they just burn and death is a quick, not a process). Turns out it was some contact thing. I am sure that you established the right connection to the video watching, but maybe you just seat more confortable in the sofa and the contact is lower...?
Also, people at the apple store did not encourage me at all to buy a more powerful charger. They said it is best to use the same power it came with...

Why won't iTunes just PLAY an album, in order, from start to finish?!

Very confused....I can't get an album to play through iTunes on my Mac anymore. It used to work just fine but now, no matter what I try, every time I try to play an album iTunes just picks one song at random from the album and plays that. It won't move on to the next one, even if I try to press the button to skip to the next track. It always seems to play the same track and won't let me do anything!
It's really annoying and I can't see what is different from before I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Getting thoroughly disheartend with iTunes lately; wish I had never bothered downloading the latest version-it's horrible!
Can anyone out there help with a straight forward and not-too-technical explanation to help me to be able to play an album, from start to finish , in the order it was made without having to mess about? I am not used to the whole "Apple" way of working yet- previously had a PC with Windows Media Player which worked really easily. iTunes is infuriating me so far!
Thanks!

Open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar and View>Show Status Bar. This will make the new version appear more like earlier versions. Then go to the Controls menu at the top, choose Shuffle and click "Turn Off Shuffle" (if it shows this).

In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play start to finish.

In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play entirely from start to finish.

My Itunes previews have been playing fully now for the past few days. After trying every suggestion possible to fix the problem of 5-10 second previews, I took the advice on one feed to use OpenDNS for your network internet connection. There are internet sites that will instruct you how to do it. Just Google "opendns for (your operating system)". I have Windows XP and followed a video instruction at www.top-windows-tutorals.com/using-opendns.html. Afterward, close your browser and then flush the DNS Resolver cache; Start/Run, type CMD in the open field, click OK, in resulting window type ipconfig/flushdns, press return on keyboard. No guarantees, but my browser is faster and my Itunes previews are playing fully so far. But I still shudder every time I hit the preview button.

Production order basic dates (start and finish) in past

Hi,
My clinet has got one requirement where in they want to create an production order with past date (Basic start and finish). I found one way to achieve this by selecting the scheduling type as "Only Capacity requirement", but the disadvantage is that the order will not get scheduled.
Do you know any other method to achieve this functionality?
Thanks and Regards
Purushothaman Nagarajan

Dear Friend,
As i said, in Production order, under Production order - Setting - Scheduling maintain the number of days in past (says 100 days).
Now in below select the scheduling type as backward scheduling and in Finish date give the date which is in past and now enter (or schedule the order). Because of this system will propose the start date which will also be in past.
Regards,
JItendra

Examples of Start to Finish relationships?

Can someone share some concrete examples of a Start-Finish relationship? The main one I read about is a security guard who cannot finish his shift until another person starts their shift. But some alternate examples would help to explain this to me.

Firstly, i'm not a software developer, so excuse the simplicity of my explanation
The example i always give is of time-bound, iterative software development project, perhaps in a RUP environment.
Work is split into stages, or iterations, bound specifically by timeframes - iteration 2 starting on a set day finishes iteration 1. Thus start to finish.
The relatoionship is not F-S a it first appears, because it is the starting of Iteration 2, not the finish of Iteration 1 that controls the relationship
Does that help?
How about:
Government legislation on a certain day means that work has to be carried out differently, H&S regualtions perhaps. You might want to split this work into different activities to track differnet costs, you could use this mandatory start milestone to effectively finish another bit of work, thus S-F
Any better?

Movie won't play from start to finish

I'm an idiot I know but I'm editing my first movie and can't find the answer to this in the online brochure. Here's the problem:
1. I've assembled all of my clips in the video track.
2. Have not inserted any transitions because I was having trouble with the "overlap" transition. "Add" button was grayed out.
3. Whenever I try to play the movie to see how all the clips work with each other, the movie ends at the end of the first clip. I know I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what!!! Can anybody help me out there?
I'd buy you a beer if you were here!

Carl and Sweet Polly,
You guys rock! That was it, I only had the first clip highlighted. When I highlighted everything the movie played from start to finish. Also, learned something new too. I couldn't get the overlay transitions to work so I rebooted, upgraded to os 10.4.11, upgraded Quicktime and now they work. Thanks for your quick response! I probably won't through my computer off the balcony for at least another day now! : > )
