Polishing the Clamshell's outer case

I recently acquired a very clean iBook SE 466 Graphite. It is in excellent cosmetic condition but on the, white part of the upper case there are a few scuffs, not even scratches. Other than these the case has that nice unblemished icy glean to it.
These aren't anything I can't live with but since the overall condition is so good, I thought it may be worth investing a little time to polish them away.
Has anyone had experience (successful or not) in trying to remove scuffs or scratches from the white plastic case of a iBook Clamshell? What did you use (successfully or not)?
Thanks,

iKlear Apple Polish works great for my clamshell. All over too, not just the white part. Even cleans the screen. It comes as a spray liquid with a microfiber cloth. Just spray it on and polish with the cloth. It is also available as single use disposable “Kloths” that come it a tear open package just like those hand cleaners at rib joints or KFC, although I have found that the best results come from the old fashioned method of spraying and polishing with the microfiber cloth. It nicely fills in those tiny little scratches and even rejuvenates the rubberized portions. I got a kit containing the spray fluid, cloth and about a dozen one time use packets from OWC, but I’ve seen them in Apple stores and other electronics retailers as well.

Can I replace the aluminum outer case the laptop comes in?

I have a macbook pro 17" 2009
Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Is it possible to replace the aluminum outer case the laptop comes in?
My wife was using my mac and droped it,
on the front left corner there is a dent,
and it is affecting my CD's that I put in my Mac
I have to loosen the screws on the bottom to get the CD's out....
Can I change out the entire outer shell ... Tack the components out and put them in a new shell????

Three places you can look:

http://www.ifixit.com/Mac-Parts/MacBook-Pro
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/MacBook--Macbook-Pro-Parts-and-Repair-p-1-c-446.ht ml
Or, you can go to an Apple store & inquire about "Flat Rate Repair". Not documented, but users have used such. Cost is around US $300.

Please..how do you clean the Macbook Pro silver-coloured (aluminum?) outer case?

Drink the Irish, and as for the cleaning Vodka, buy the absolute cheapest one in the store, the one you wouldn't want to drink.
They all meet FDA standards for human consumption unlike alcohol in the drug store.

How much for the outer case of iPhone 5?

in case I damage my outer case, how much will it cost to replace it..? has apple started shipping any bumpers like how it did for iPhone 4/4S..?

If you don't have AppleCare + and you are in the US it will be $229 to do an out-of-warranty replacement of the iPhone. And no on the bumpers.

Replacing the outer case??

I was wondering if that in the future if your ipod nano or any other ipod gets so scratched that, can you actually send it somewhere like to apple and pay for a new outer case to be replaced? kind of like buying a new one?
I read the article about buying Bresno and lceaning it with that but what if your scratches are to deep?

Hi
I think you would be able to buy new covers but the price will be more for the parts than to buy an new ipod.
I saw on one site that they sold to ipod g4 frontcover for 80 dollars and a
display for 149 dollar.

TCP packet out of state: First packet isn't SYN & Outlook is trying to retrieve data from the Microsoft Exchange Server [CAS-ARray]

We are transitioning from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. We found Outlook online mode (non-cached mode) have many warning "Outlook is trying to retrieve data from the Microsoft Exchange Server [CAS-ARray]", usually happen when users tried to open
address book but sometimes even normal operation like click the Send button. The problem does not affect OWA and extremely rare when Outlook is running in cached mode. Check the firewall logs, we notice a lot of "TCP Packet Out of State" drops.
We have a lot from the CAS/HT to DC/GC on TCP_3268 and LDAP. And the errors are "TCP packet out of state: First packet isn't SYN" with tcp_flags FIN-ACK, PUSH-ACK.
We also have a lot from CAS/HT to the Outlook Clients on the static RPC port (TCP_59933). And the errors are "TCP packet out of state: First packet isn't SYN" with tcp_flags FIN-ACK, PUSH-ACK and RST-ACK, ACK.
This happens even on Outlook 2010 which I though it has TCP Keep Alive implmented to keep the session active within 1 hour.
Can somebody tell me if these out-of-state are the cause of our problem? And how to fix it?
THANK 1,000,000

Hello AndyHWC,
I did some consulting with our CAS team and received the following feedback to your post:
It is difficult to determine what is causing resets without seeing the captures first hand however, the concern is that you are seeing dropped packets on the firewall logs. Where is this firewall located?
Based on the description "Check the firewall logs, we notice a lot of "TCP Packet Out of State" drops." and "We have a lot from the CAS/HT to DC/GC on TCP_3268 and
LDAP." indicates to me that the firewall is between CAS and GC. This not supported under any circumstances and would explain the issue they are seeing with clients trying to "retrieve data from the GC".
If there is not a firewall between the GC and CAS then a Microsoft support engineer would need to have concurrent Netmon Captures from client, CAS, GC during the
issue to analyze. If only one GC exists consider adding another GC to handle the client requests and for fault tolerance.
Also verify that all NIC card drivers are updated to the latest driver version

Crack in outer case / screen bezel on 20" iMac G5 getting worse by the week

Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem ...?
About a month ago, I noticed a very small crack in the bottom left-hand corner of my iMac's outer casing - at first I thought it was a mould mark that occassionally picked up sunlight coming into the room in the mornings, as in the evenings it was barely noticabable - but more recently I it has increased in length and can be clearly seen in any light ...
Have a look at these photos .... one is with a flash & one without ...
http://tinyurl.com/ejjq6
http://tinyurl.com/hvrpg
My estimate is this crack is now growing by the week but I am not sure exactly why ... also, for the past couple of months - more & more CD's & DVDs are falling out of the 'slot load' without halting after an eject - I have also had a power supply issue recently where my machine keeps switching itself off randomly and without warning (at present I can only use it successfully for lite duties such as checking emails in Entourage & browsing) .... and my hunch is that something inside my machine is getting hot and has warped or buckled the casing.
This machine has been on my desk since new about 9 months ago - the room temparaure is around 22º - 29º celcius (70º - 85º farenheit) on average. It's never been moved or shipped anywhere & is not likely to have been damaged by anything else - as the space is mininal with a bed, desk chair & my Mac - I also live alone and am the only one who has ever used it and that 'direct sunlight' I mentioned earlier is minimal ... so it's a total mystery as to how & why this crack has appeared ...
I would like to know if anyone else has noticed any cracks in the outer casings of your iMacs .... there were a couple of previous threads from late last year, but as these have been archived I could not reply to them so have started a new post ...
you can see previous case-cracking thread here: --> http://tinyurl.com/nr2wx
And - can any of the Mac Daddy's (you know who you are in these forums give me some advice on how best to approach Apple to have it checked ?? My machine still has 3 months left of it's initial 1 year warranty - it goes in for a PSU check and/or replacement in 1 week - but something tells me I might be not be taken too seriously regarding the crack in my machine ...

Boomer ... thanks for your reply ...
Regarding my Apple approach - I went through the iBook logic board fiasco, way back in the early days before it was acknowledged by Apple to be a manufacturing flaw. The company here in Auckland who are the Apple representatives for New Zealand is a company called Renaissance (our official Apple head office is actually in Sydney, Australia) - when I first informed them of my iBook 700 starting up to a garbled start-up screen and then freezing, they told me I must have dropped it and would not consider repairing it under warranty or Apple Care. Many months of conversations, tests by Apple service technicians and eventually, talks with the management at Renaissance, and out of pocket expenses by me, eventually got me nowhere and the final conclusion was that I had misused my machine and it would not be repaired under warranty. After several discouraging months later, I eventually sold it as spare parts for a fraction of what I had paid for it ... 6 months later the iBook Logic Board fault was acknowledged - but for me, it came way too late ...
Fast forward 3 years …
I purchased my iMac G5 last July, which has now developed a serious power supply issue where it randomly shuts down without warning when processing an average size (350MBs) video file in Toast or resizing a medium size image in Photoshop with the internal fans going ballistic on a regular basis whenever a heavy task is laid on the processor - and more recently, the crack in the lower-left hand corner growing larger. Also, the disks falling out of the slot-load - & all this from a machine which apart from the above - looks in minted brand new condition ... because it really hasn't had that much use in it’s short life - if it was new car, it would only have done about 20,000kms ...
My point is. Although the PSU issue is widely acknowledged and the one in my machine is most likely to be checked & replaced by Apple NZ free-of-charge - I feel that I might not be so lucky with the cracked case. The level of service here in New Zealand I would say is but a fraction of the support one might receive in Australia & the States – or at least for me it appears that way ... you would not believe that 'attitude' I have come up against when dealing with managers at Renaissance – and any request to have a speedy check done on my iMac by 3 separate service centres will take more than a week (closer to 2 weeks) to complete as the replacement PSU has to be ordered, then shipped from Australia – there is no such thing as a routine ‘same day or next day’ service or repair! I have lodged the crack complaint with Apple Australasia through our local help-line which diverts automatically to the Apple Customer Liaison desk in Australia but when I spoke to a local service centre, an Apple tech suggested it was unlikely to be replaced if there were no other ‘documented’ accounts of cracks on other 20” G5 iMacs anywhere else. And even without seeing it, he suggested the crack has most likely been caused by ‘blunt force’.
And as I know that is not the case, I sense I am in for another battle with the honchos at Renaissance who will most likely decline the repair or replacement of the casing under warranty.
Hence the reason for this post – I am trying to gather information to help support my case. I am adamant this crack has appeared on it’s own and has not been hit by anything blunt or due to misuse.
You might be asking why I have not just taken it in already to have all 3 things checked at the same time?
Firstly, the fans started acting up about 2-3 months ago – I have performed several maintenance tasks on my machine since then (resetting the power parameters: resetting VRAM & PRAM), & other maintenance tasks (Ethernet/network tweaks & running Yasu to refresh the system) & which combined, reduced the fan noise by about 50%, & that’s something I considered I could live with, considering the amount of others in these forums who are experiencing the same problem. I figured the iMac G5 is always going to be noisy – because no-one in these forums has posted an absolute fix yet - I didn’t see the point in taking it in and being without a machine for 2 weeks, only to be told there was nothing wrong with it. It was also around this time that CDs & DVDs began falling from the slot load & down the back of my desk.
Then the crack came to my attention about a month ago, which I reported immediately to the help line (including the excessive fan noise) and was issued a specific ‘case number’– again, I was told to bring it in to a local service centre but when I called to arrange a time to drop off, I was again told it would take up to 2 weeks for an assessment – that’s when the tech suggested the crack was not a defect but damage caused by a blunt object and was unlikely to be covered under warranty.
My alarm bells starting ringing when I heard that, & I could see myself re-experiencing the long-winded battle with Apple NZ again to be taken seriously.
I was actually in the process of winding down my current assignment, (which is worth $2,000 to me) in preparation of not having a machine for 2 weeks to fix the PSU as I do not have another unit with which to work on - when my iMac started randomly switching itself off without warning last week – as a result, I have had to persevere at a snails pace – saving my work every 2 mins, as I have to get this project finished before I can afford to hire a replacement machine in the interim ….
I am stuck in a catch-22.
My machine will be going in this Monday to have all 4 malfunctions inspected: fans, PSU, cracked casing & the disc eject problem … my expectation is to have all 4 issues repaired under warranty as I have looked after this machine, as with any other machine or appliance I own – with love & with care !!
To round it all up - and I apologise for the drawn-out and rather convoluted explanation, but I am trying to find others who might also be having case/bezel issues with their G5 iMacs, which could hopefully support my claim when I come up against the impending ‘NO’ regarding the cracked casing …

Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up

Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up with it for months, until june 7 when I decided it has been long enough, and I got a replacement. I told the genius bar what happened, and I already did the so called "steps" that apple reccommended on the site, which was reset network settings, restore iPhone. The genius bar gave me a replacement phone, so I was expecting that the problem would be over, but it isn't. It seems that it's iOS 6.1.3 which is the case of most public complaints on apple iPhone products. Not even 3 weeks after I got the phone replaced, it is doing it again, so I suspect I'm just going to get a replacement again? Unfortunately I only have until 5th of july 2013 until my 1 year warranty is up. After that, any issue I have, I have to purchase apple care. People are expecting this problem to be fixed but I don't see it being solved any time soon. This is horrible and really low, because I have been a good customer, when I talk to the people at the genius bar, I show the utmost respect I can to them for the work they put into their job, but somewhere there is a problem where something has gone wrong. Because of that, people that only have a one year warranty (which i received because I purchased my apple iPhone at an Optus outlet, once that one year warranty is up, I have to pay for a problem that isn't even my fault? That isn't how it should work, you should be fixing this problem so people can be happy customers and leave happy. Obviously you don't all know how to do your jobs, because if you did, we wouldn't have this problem. I would like a replacement phone, ONCE AGAIN. If this problem occurs again, I will simply stop buying your products, and lose faith in your company, your's sincerely, Jack Maher.

This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

Questions about the zen micro leather case???

hey everyone,
i saw the pictures of the zen micro leather case in the US store and was going to get them until i heard that the case is quite useless and annoying with the two-way flap open. Do you still think i should get them or a diiferent one(im DESPERATE to get one!!)
thanks everyone.

There are several designs out there including... the flexi-skin (at Boxwave.com as well as eBay), Noreve's, Krussell's?and Vaja. It really comes down to what you want from a case. I've gone for a flexi-skin as I want easy access to the controls, and I kept my screen protector (but screen protectors are easy enough to buy).

I can not get the right frequency out of my NI-DAQ 6062E card from Matlab

Hi.
My name is Johan and I want to generate an analog square waveform with 5.76 kb/s in frequency with my NI DAQCard-6062E from Matlab.
When I run in Matlab the program below, I get the frequency of 5.747 kb/s on the output channel (even thou I have chosen 5.76 kb/s). When I try to change the sample rate, to higher values in Matlab, I get the same frequency until I choose the sample rate to 5.79 kb/s. The output signal is in that case is 5.813 kb/s.
So my problem is that I can't get the exact frequency of 5.76 kb/s.
How do I solve this.
Thankful for help.
Best regards, Johan
Program in Matlab:
clear all
openDAQ=daqfind; %Detect any open DAQ channels
for i=1:length(openDAQ), %Close any open DAQ channels
stop(openDAQ(i));
end
ao = analogoutput('nidaq',1); %Create an object for analog output
addchannel(ao, [0 1]);
set(ao, 'SampleRate', 2*5760); %Here the sample rate is specied. 2*, because to get right samplerate
y=[80,-80] %Sets theoutput values to 80 and -80 (As -1 and 1)
putdata(ao, [y' y']); %Sends the values to out buffer
set(ao,'RepeatOutput',inf) %Repeats sending in infinity
set(ao, 'TriggerType', 'Immediate'); %Choose trigger to immediate, because sending values shall occur driect after start command.
start(ao);
%stop(ao)

Hello Johan!
Bad news I am afraid….
I assume you are using the Data Acquisition Toolbox from the Mathworks and when it comes to support on that interface I have to advice you to contact the Mathworks for assistance. We don't provide any support on their data acquisition interface since we have nothing to do with it.
Sorry for the inconvenience this might cause you.

IBook Clamshell video out modification

I recentley purchased an iBook Clamshell with out video out and I really need video out. I was wondering if I was to replace the sound board in my graphite ibook with the video board from a key lime ibook would it enable me to use video out. Also if I was to take the DVD drive out of my e sytem could I then burn DVD's on my clamshell ibook.

Highly dubious.
They are fairly inexpensive these days. Why not buy the one that meets your needs?

Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
