My third Macbook Retina LCD replacements in less than a month

I guess the tittle says it all. A month ago I noticed there was a small white dot on the right bottom corner so I brought it to store to have my LCD screen replaced. When I came home I notice my LCD screen is yellow when I compared to my MacBook Pro 17. Needless to say I went to the store to have my LCD screen replaced because of the yellow tint. So now it is officially my third LCD screen replacements and I'm still seeing the yellow hue (tint) on my screen. Is it a new Apple standard? Because Apple Genius told me they like the screen on the left side better (yellow hue) than the right side (day light color). Please advise me what to do at this point. I have one month left before my AppleCare warranty is expired. Apple Genius told me that this is the last time they would replace my screen and they knew it is going to yellow tint again. So far I spoke to Apple Senior Advisor (over the phone) and Apple Genius (in store) and they said there is nothing wrong with the screen and there is no way they will replace my MacBook.
What would you do if you were in my situation? Thank you for your advice!
At this moment my MacBook LCD screen manufacturer is Samsung (LSN154YL01001)
rMBP is on the left and MBP 17 is on the right.

Same problem. Bought the Retina MacBook Pro in 2012. Got a nice bluish screen but with stuck white pixels in the lower-right corner. Got the screen replaced and the replacement screen is greenish-yellow like yours. The model number is LSN154YL01001.
This is not the first screen I got from Apple that's green. My iPhone 4S had a green screen. I replaced it and got another green screen. My iPad 4 had a green screen and I returned it. Now I'm stuck because I can't just return this Retina MacBook Pro that I bought last year. If I bring it in to the Genius Bar and tell them the screen is green they will either say it looks normal or it's not defective. Calibrating the screen via System Preferences > Color doesn't help. Usually looks worse.
So are these screens defective or by design? I really don't know. I've seen blue iPhone 4S and I've seen green iPhone 4S. I've seen blue iPad 3s and I've seen redish iPad 3s. We've both had blue Retina MacBook Pros and now we have green Retina MacBook Pros.
If it had come initially with the greenish-yellow screen I would have returned it but now I'm stuck with a screen that looks like it has green slime all over it.

Macbook (mid 2012, 9,2) has very poor performance since the day I bought it (less than 2 months ago)

Problem description:
My macbook is extremely slow since the day I bought it (which was less than 2 months ago)…Came preinstalled with Mavericks and 4GB of RAM. Upgraded it to 16GB hoping that would help, but that did very little…then upgraded to Yosemite. That just made it worse. Formatted the whole thing and installed clean Yosemite. Still, every time I right click, I get the rainbow loading icon and it hangs. Every time I open any file, or click any app, it hangs for a few seconds, again with a loading icon. Every time I play a song on iTunes or even VLC for that matter, it stops multiple times, every few seconds. Feels like it’s “buffering” while I’m playing a song off my hard drive. It’s been bothering me for too long now…Any idea what the issue is exactly?

If it has been slow since it came out of the box, it's probably defective. The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

Seagate FreeAgent Go is making a clicking sound and the light is rapidly blinking. My Macbook is no longer recognizing it. Is there any way to fix it or recover my files? The SeaAgent is less than a month old!

Seagate FreeAgent Go is making a clicking sound and the light is rapidly blinking. My Macbook is no longer recognizing it. Is there any way to pull all the songs I have saved on it? The SeaAgent is less than a month old!
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Or at least recover the lost data?
Thanks!

How to fix: the drive is in warranty, so contact Seagate for a replacement.
How to recover your data: Do you have backups? (If not, you really, really, should.)
You can try downloading Data Rescue, which will run in trial mode and let you know if the data is recoverable. (You can then choose to purchase the full version if it works for you.) A clicking drive, though, is usually (though not always) a sign that the drive cannot be recovered.

My ipod touch 2nd generation keeps taking screen shots by itself and turning off. This is a 'NEW' replacement and is less than 12 months old. Any ideas?

my ipod touch 2nd generation keeps taking screen shots by itself and turning off. This is a 'NEW' replacement and is less than 12 months old. Any ideas?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Z key in macbook pro pops up on right side. Little pin on scissor clip underneath has broken. No stress on computer, is this apple covered? Otherwise where do I get a new scissor clip. Less than 3 months old.

On the Z key, the little scissor clip underneath on the right hand side has two little pointy bits which connect to the key, the top one of these has broken off and the key is barely hanging on, if pushed on the right side of the key, it pops up. I tried to push it back in but it keeps popping up.
My mac is less than 3 months old. The computer has been treated well and has not been used rough or treated badly, I imagine it's just an accident while typing or a weak clip.
Is this covered by Apple, if not where do I buy a new clip for under the key? -

u can give try to using external enclosre and backup ur files. I hope u will get files back. or using external enclosre with ur hdd boot into Linux and try to mount ur harddisk.
there are multiple no of tutorial to mount apple partion in Linux.

My iPhone just goes dead. It's not low on battery and this is the second one I have had do it. I have a 4s less than 4 months old. Anyone else?

This is the second iphonev4s I have had to just turn off and can't get it to cone back on. I charge them to make sure it's not battery but they still won't come on. The first one did it within 30 days so they replaced it. My current one I have had less than 4 months. Anyone else?

Unless you have another USB cable, and if that fails another computer to test the connection with, then I'd suggest you take the phone into an Apple store.

My less than 5 month old imac 21.5 desktop is causing me some concern,it is slow to start, problems with bluetooth.problems with wi fi.whe its turned off i notice a graying in the four corners of the screen,this is i think the effects of overheating.

my imac is less than 5 months. old tommorow it goes to murcia for ¿repair?.a 25.1 1mac desktop is a formidable piece of workmanship but thatdoes not stop anything going wrong,as ive found out.in the last month it has begun to heat rapidly thus i think causing a graying in the 4 corners of the screen,this is ugly.as i keep my mac in pertfect grace ie free of dust and prints,also it freezes frequently and downright frustrating.has anyone else had similar problems.on a footnote i beleive apple care will come thru shining,but an answer to my question,wich is why in only 5 months has my imac gone wrong.

Sorry to hear you're having issues with your Mac, but just like pretty much everything else, things can go wrong.
The key is what Apple will do about it now that it has gone wrong. Because you are under warranty, contact AppleCare and explain the issues you are experiencing. There is a chance that your iMac may have to be sent in for repair.
My iMac has had issues since first bought in late 2009, in one form or another and has been repaired three times. AppleCare are going to replace the item sometime in the future, I have no idea when, but I have been without a working Mac for over three weeks now, actually it might be over four weeks.
As you said, AppleCare will sort the problem out for you, let's hope it's not a lengthy repair and they get you up and running quickly.

2nd time in less than 6 months backlight of Ideatab Lynx stopped working

Just like the subject says, I've only had this device for less than 6 months and the backlight on the unit has once again stopped functioning. I really can't recommend this product as it has been nothing but a hassle having to get it serviced for a second time already. Aside from not being able to use it for a few weeks while it gets serviced, I have to pay for shipping to send it to the service centre. Somebody from Lenovo needs to suggest a better solution for me as I can't rely on this unit any longer. In comparison, I've had a Blackberry Playbook that's been through way more than this Lynx tablet and it's been over 3 years without a problem and Lenovo is supposed to be the better brand? hmm...

Unfortunately, the same happened to me for a second time with my Lynx. The first time Lenovo only re-intalled the software. I don't know how this "repaired" the LCD screen, but less than 3 weeks later, it broke down again. They only offer 1 month time to return it, so I'm stuck with it. At lease the warranty covers this.

HT1665 what can i do my ear phones are not working,they are less than 04 months?

what can i do my ear phone are not working,the phone is less than 04 months and its was bought in makro springfield durban kzn south africa

The ear phones carry the same warranty as the iPhone. They're still in warranty. Bring them in to Apple for evaluation and if they are deemed defective they will be replaced free of charge.

Droid Razr Motorola HD less than 1 month and not working

Last month my Droid Razr Motorola HD just stopped working, no reason, just stopped after working the night before. :-( Posted here BTW, I received a replacement phone, a REFURBISHED on 04/14/2014 and guess what? yes, it too doesn't work but for another reason, now instead of being dead, I can text but cannot hear anyone when they call me, it is a dead sound, I can call them and sometimes hear a staticy broken up conversation, sometimes nothing unless I put them on speaker!!! This is as I said less than one month in with this phone, no damage has been done nor has it gotten wet!! This is extremely unacceptable service!!!! And why I adhore refurbished phones!!!!!

I'm surprised to see you're having so many difficulties with such a popular phone, Terry_R. The warranty replacements go through pretty rigorous testing to make sure this type of difficulty doesn't occur. Although you can't hear the person, can they hear you? If you look into the headset jack of the phone, do you see any debris or corrosion? Please also make sure the phone is up to date by going to Settings>About Phone>System Updates.

My MacBookPro is less than 3 months old and for the last few days, it has been itslow to load anything, especially web pages. I get the rainbow swirl when loading or reloading. I guess I am spoiled. Up until now it was lightening fast!

My MacBookPro is less than 3 months old and, for the last few days, it has been loading so slowly, mainly with webpages. I have gotten the swirling rainbow "thinking" icon more in the last days than I have since I bought it. I know I'm spoiled and expect it to be faster than lightening (which it has been) but I am worried that I may have been compromised in some way, or, is there anything I can do as administrator to clear out some "junk"?

Back up your documents and everything else important to you, not that there is any reason to believe your hard disk may be failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
Given that your MacBook Pro is so new, you should certainly contact AppleCare and take advantage of the free telephone support included in its purchase price.
Until then, if you are motivated to investigate this yourself consider the following:

Less than a month and its already broken

Dear BT and Forum users,
I am not very happy with my BB service right now and have come on here in the hope that I might get more that platitudes and fob offs.
So... a few weeks ago my husband finally gave into the sales calls and agreed to have Infinity installed. Our reason - not so much faster internet but in the hope we might get a consistant service.The service we had before that was tempermental at best and we were sick of having to reset the router every other day. (in hindsight we should have just gone with an alternative ISP).
It was installed a couple of weeks ago and worked well until last Wednesday, since then the service has been a comedy of errors. To start with my husband confirmed from the outset that they problem was not coming from inside the house but the customer service operator insisted on booking an engineer.
We agreed to the Friday morning appointment. I booked the morning off work (using annual leave) and the engineer didn't show up. My husband called at 12.30 (they won't take calls from me as I'm not on the bill) and he was assured the appointment was booked in. Shortly after 1 I took a call at the home to say the "system" had lost the booking and the engineer wouldn't be coming.
I said I was in all day, he could come now but that was clearly off script and the call centre operative wouldn't enterntain the idea (annoyingly there were 2 BT vans in my neighbourhood that afternoon). Instead they wanted me to rebook another 4 hour appointment. I couldn't stop in Saturday and wasn't going to lose more leave. I said I would discuss the options with my husband.
What followed that afternoon was a series of coversations with them, some with me at home and some with my husband at work offering the same options and us giving the same response. I don't know if the operatives weren't talking to each other or didn't understand but it was really irritating. In the end they said they would call my husband at 4pm. They called some time after 5 and said the would try the exchange first and call us Monday morning if they needed to access the property.
Saturday 8.30 the engineer called to say they were on their way, we had the time so we waited. He arrived and was in the house all of 15 minutes before confirming the problem was in the exchange (all that time wasted for that!). We got a call Sunday to say they needed a new part at the exchange then today my husband got an undecipherable voicemail and a text saying the service will be fixed in the next 72 hours. He has spoken to them this evening and we're still non-the-wiser as now there's a fault further up the line.
Whilst all this is going on we have tried to find out if they expect us to pay for the Infinity and BT Vision whilst the services are not working. All they will say is they won't look at refunding losses until the issue is fixed. I realise they can't give us a total but it was a pretty straight forward question - am I paying for this non-service. One operator has said I can have £10 to cover the missed appointment (I value my time and annual leave a little higher).
In all honestly the loss of internet and BT vision is frustrating but what has really dissapointed me is the lack of customer service. No one in the call centres seem to have a clue what's going on (we've had so many versions of what's wrong) and are too tied to a script. There's no sense of inconvenience - I'm supposed to be ready and waiting for 4 hours at a time but they will fix it sometime in the next 3 day.
Right now I'm not even sure its worth waiting to get this fixed.
I'd love for someone to come on here and fix this for me but I'd settle for a little peer support/shared experience.
Thanks

OK, so I was being a little optimisitic. We're back online (yay!) but now the bill is just more of the same. Apparently we have to wait 48 hours before they will tell us how they are adjusting the bill I understand that they cannot confirm the problem si fixed yet because of some internal policy but they won't even tell us how much they would calculate as of now - a pretty straight forward question.
So with that, we threw in the towel... said if they can't asnwer a simple question we were off. Of course when I told then operator this he said he's put me straight through to his boss and then left me on hold for over 20 minutes before I gave up!
Called back to leaver dept. to be told we have to pay £200 to cancel (funny they could give us that figure pretty easily). I don't know what was said when he signed up but I am going to be investigating this further. We've had the service less than a month and its been broken a week.

Can't upgrade with less than a month on contract left....don't want "The Edge" program either

My husband and I are both due for upgrades May 14, 2014 (less than a month away)- we were refused a new 2 year contract with the purchase of 2 Samsung S5 phones yesterday in store and told to call customer service and they would adjust our update date. After 45 minutes on the phone with them, mostly on hold waiting to speak with a supervisor because their cs rep was rude, we were told they would approve an early upgrade for any phone EXCEPT the one we want. They would rather makes us wait to upgrade 30 days, with my husbands phone not holding a charge, and allow us time to decide which provider we want to move to than sign us to two new two year contracts. Is this how loyal customers are treated?

CAUTION: If u currently have an UNLIMITED DATA PLAN... then, u do NOT want to use your upgrade, because u loose it, after the upgrade!!! ... I still have the old UNLIMITED DATA PLAN, because, they told me, I'd loose it, if I upgraded... only way to keep your unlimited data plan, is to get a phone from online... Amazon, ebay, or pay full price for a phone,which stinks, but it's better then loosing unlimited data!
