My Options after 5 repairs?

The Applecare guy I talked to told me to email him directly if the latest fix doesn't work. Then we can discuss other options. Below is the history. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
-white line in lower left of display (ignored it for long time)
-logic board replaced for bad capacitors. was told line would go away as well. Nope.
-power supply replaced for bad capacitors and screen replaced for white line. Two weeks later the line was back.
-today called Apple about white line and DVD drops discs out of slot when ejected. New screen and optical drive on order.
The only thing that hasn't been replace is the hard drive!! What are my options when this white line comes back (i know it will and even the tech guy said it might). The white line is due to heat destroying the LCD in lower left.
Any ideas?????
THANK YOU!!!

Thanks for the good replies. Some more info that might clear up a couple of things.
Each call/repair to applecare is condisered ONE incident. He said that they would condiser replacing after 3 incidents. I am only NOW on my third (parts are on order).
#1 was the caps on the logic board.
#2 was the power supply and the display (2 items but only one incident).
#3 is currently parts on order (another display and the optical drive). Again, 1 incident.
What I probably should have asked is this...can I push the issue and try to get these to count as more than 3 incidents?
Also, if they agree to give me a new one does that mean a NEW one or just a refurbished one? Heck, mine is currently refurbished with all the parts that have be replaced!!!!
For the record: I love Macs and I would love to keep mine if it wouldn't have these problems. The Applecare support have been nice. My concern is ******* them off and not getting a new one at all.
Thanks again for the replies. I will post with any updates.

Cannot boot. volume disappeared from boot option after Disk Utility (GUI) repair

I have a 13-inch MBP with the latest OS X version.
Problem
Yesterday, I went to the Recovery Mode and performed Repair on my boot volume. I was not having a problem, but I just wanted to verify and repair as a regular maintenance. The Disk Utility said some kind of error (I cannot remember, but something about EFI?), and I cannot start my computer since then (question mark folder icon when I try to boot).
I have tried the following
I tried to recover the drive by going into the Recovery Mode, but when I press Option key for boot options, I just have an empty grey screen have no option(not even the recovery volume). I have also tried to enter into the Single User Mode, but it goes straight back to the question mark folder icon. Just in case, I performed PRAM and SMC reset, but still no dice.
Next, I tried to boot with Command+R pressed, and the computer went into Internet Recovery Mode, which works fine. Then, I went to the Disk Utility, and my SSD is on the list with the volume that has OS X(only volume on the entire disk except recovery volume, etc). I use FileVault2, and I can unlock the volume and mount it without any problem. When I do Verify Disk, it says that the volume appears to be OK. Also, performed fsck using Recovery Mode's Terminal, and it still says that "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK," the exact same message that I got from GUI disk utility. I also tried to unlock and set the volume as a start-up disk, but I still get the question mark folder icon.
If you need further details, please let me know! Please save me!

Hello jukim,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Great troubleshooting done so far. Since you're still booting to the flashing question mark, even after repairing the disk, the next step would be to reinstall OS X.

URGENT: I lost the Lion Partition after repairing the Windows 7 partition

URGENT: I lost the Lion Partition after repairing the Windows 7 partition
I have recent bought a new Macbook Pro and then I start doing all the necessary setup. This is the first time I do such setup with bootcamp myself anyway.
1st: normal MacOS setup, the Lion version has been setup perfectly.
2nd: run the bootcamp and setup the Windows 7, done perfectly as well.
3rd: try to partition and resize the harddrive with the Lion installed and create 2 new FAT partitions (now 4 partitions in total: 1 for Lion, Journaled, 1 for Windows 7 in NTFS, 2 for file sharing purposes in FAT). See if I can have better partitioning to do necessary organisations.
4th: When I want to restart in Windows to see if the newly created 2 FAT partitions can be read in Windows environment and can function norally, the Windows setup does not show at the start up page when I hold the "Option" key during the startup. I then try to restart again, still no such partition but boot directly to Lion.
5th: I tried to repair the Windows 7 with the start up disc and then it worked. I can also see the 2 newly partitioned FAT drive work normally.
6th: When I want to restart in Lion, I cannot boot the Lion OS and I cannot find the start up icon on the startup page even with me holding the "Option" Key.
7th: "MacOS Installation Utility" appears. I tried to repair but cannot as I have neither the Lion setup disc with me (coz the Lion has been pre-installed) nor a time machine backup/ any other backup image to load from.
8th: Tried to "erase and install a new copy of Lion", the partition where the Lion has been previously installed cannot be shown, now indicate itself as "freespace" and not able to be selected for my "erase and reinstall" process.
9th: so I go to 2 other FAT drives to do as the instructions to try "erase" and hope the "reinstall" process can be started. But the Disk Utility ends up saying the drive cannot be dismounted/ cannot verfy...
At the end of the many tries, I tried to shut the computer down and restart again, hopefully something will work still.... the startup page now shows a disk image with ?, I guess NO OPERATION system/ drive detected for booting. So I got a piece of metals without any use now...
Anybody help? Thanks alot!!

In Windows, go to Control Panel -> System. Do you see a Boot Camp option? If you do not, please download BC drivers as appropriate for you specific Mac year/model System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support

Firefox crashes 2 seconds after startup. This happened after repair upgrade to Windows 7

After repair upgrade Firefox (9.0) would not work. I finally un-installed and re-installed it without success. Following your support guidelines I tried deleting my profile with partial success in that with a new profile Firefox would run once then revert back to an apparent crash after 2 seconds (as seen from task manager). After every new profile created it followed this same routine of working just the once. Any help would be appreciated.

Try a "clean reinstall" of Firefox by removing the Mozilla Firefox installation directory before reinstalling it, as explained in these articles:
*[[Basic Troubleshooting]] - see the "Reinstall Firefox" section [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_7-reinstall-firefox here].
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall (MozillaZine's KB article is currently unavailable)
If Firefox still crashes after a clean reinstall, try the suggestions in the [[Firefox crashes]] article [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes here] and, if possible, post a crash Report ID, as explained at the end of that article.

It sounds like your hard drive either has a software problem that Disk Utility cannot fix or that the HD has failed (mechanically).
Your Mac may have booted either to your recovery partition or to internet recovery in an attempt to repair the drive- I can't tell from your post.
I'll assume that it was the recovery partition.
Try to boot into internet recovery (hold down option command R at restart), and see if you can repair your HD with Disk Utility. You should also repair permissions while you're there.
If that doesn't work, try to boot into single user mode (restart, hold down ⌘S until you see a black screen with white text) and repair your hard drive. Here's a reference with directions: Repair Your Hard Disk in Single User Mode | Everything Macintosh
If that doesn't work you have a few options:
If your mac originally came with installation disks, you can try to boot from the installation disk and then see if you can repair the HD.
There is a small chance that Techtool Pro 7 will be able to repair your HD if Disk Utility can't.
If none of that works then your HD has probably failed and will need to be replaced, which is not too difficult to do yourself if you can use a screwdriver.

How to track materails of machines after repair.

Hi experts,
How I track the repairable material after repair along with equipment no. Suppose I have 1 press machine having 100 motors of different rating & suppose I maintained itu2019s sr no .Then is it possible to get the equipment no in IW81 refurbishment selection screen & how I track material of specific machine from sr no.
With Regards,
Avi DDS

Have You Created 100 Motors of Press Machine as Individual Equipments , if that's the Case Then you can create Synchronization of Serial number with Equipment Number in Material master of Motors of Differnt Rating.
Result You get Serial Number same as Equipment Number or Name, this way you can search the individual Equipments of Press Machine.
Otherwise Assign serial number i.e,, Name of individual Equipment or Name of Main Press for individual Material at the time of Refurbishment Order Creation
Equipment No in refurbishment order is given in "Objects" Next to Quantity in Order Header Tab .
Regards,

Warnings notice after repairing permissions

After upgrading to 10.5.1, I noticed the following Warnings after I repaired permissions:
Warning: SUID file "usr/libexec/load_hdi" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Versions/A/Resources /DiskManagementTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.

Any idea of what's causing these warnings? Is this a problem I should correct or worry about?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

This looks like a carbon copy to the message I found after repairing permissions. It happened as well after installing Mac OS X Leopard. I verified my Startup Disk, it checked out ok. The reason why I did these repair and verification moves was because my Toast 8 crashed each time upon trying to start it up. I had no problems with it before, neither with any prior Toast version, down to Toast 2 (I believe, I started with Toast 2). When I installed the Leopard I did an upgrade only, not an "erase and install." I just dreaded to do a zillion re-installations of all applications. I hope somebody comes up with some good suggestions. Or is it possible that this has to do with those typical bugs that seem to be unavoidable at the release of a new system software?

Empty selection options after report run

I have Hello screen after i slide to set up gel language options after select English , Egypt it request to connect with WI FI after connect start to activate my IPhone after that it unable to activated because the activation server is unavailable

I have Hello screen after i slide to set up gel language options after select English , Egypt it request to connect with WI FI after connect start to activate my IPhone after that it unable to activated because the activation server is unavailable and request to connect to itunes and no activate.

4 possible causes of that message:
1] Activation server is actually down. Very rare occurrence, but it does happen.
When it does occur, down time is very short. Solution - try again.
2] Your firewall or antivirus are blocking the connection. Solution - temporarily
deactivate your firewall or antivirus until the update completes.
3] Computer being used for the activation has previously been used to jailbreak
an iOS device. Solution - use a computer that has not been used to jailbreak an
iOs device.
4] Your iPhone is jailbroken. Google may provide some direction. Be advised the jailbreak
may have made changes that will prevent the iPhone from successfully activating.

Is it possible to laod navigation options after querry is displayed

Hi
I have a question concerning the display of a query. Us ut possible to display a query and load the navigation options after the query has been displayed (in other words in the background)?
[I am talking about the query property on how to load a query with option A, H and X]
If yes, does it provide a relevant performance benefit in the case of using large hierarchies?
Thx,
Nana

There is, but the preferred way to do something like this is through
the action reference expression which is attached to a UCommand
component. So you could do something like the following:
1. set up a class which extends javax.faces.Action:
import javax.faces.Action;
public class RegisterAction extends Action {
public String invoke() {
return checkUserName();
Set up an accessor method (javabean convention) in your business
object bean that returns the Action instance:
public class Register {
public Action getRegisterAction() {
return registerAction;
2. set up a mapping for the Navigation Handler (assume user.jsp
is the page where the user enters data, and welcome.jsp is
the page that gets displayed on successful outcome). Set this up
in your faces-config.xml:
<navigation-rule>
<from-tree-id>/user.jsp</from-tree-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
<to-tree-id>/welcome.jsp</to-tree-id>
</navigation-case>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>failure</from-outcome>
<to-tree-id>/user.jsp</to-tree-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
Make sure that the checkUserName() method above, returns a string
that matches the "from-outcome" element in your navigation mapping
(in this case - "success" or "failure").
3. attach the actionRef expression to your button component as follows
in your jsp. Something like:
<h:command_button commandName="register" actionRef="Register.registerAction"/>
Hope this helps, Roger.

How do you change your intial bc template selection under site options after you click finish

You cant. BC doesnt have a theming system like Wordpress or Joomla. The template is fixed and switching templates at this stage is not an easy feat.
