Recall on 17"PB.  Anyone know?

Does the recall apply to the 17" PowerBook? The news article below doesn't mention it.
======
The latest recall covers 1.1 million rechargeable batteries in the 12-inch iBook G4, 12-inch PowerBook G4 and 15-inch PowerBook G4 laptops sold in the United States from October 2003 through August 2006.

I know what you mean. How come it doesn't say "The 17-inch PowerBook is unaffected by this" or something like that.
My 17"-PB went in to a certified Mac Retailer and was checked out earlier this year. My powercord was getting so hot it was melting the plastic coating. I was initially worried about the laptop itself getting too hot along the top edge where keyboard meets screen ... and the left side of the keyboard where the cord plugs in. I had it checked out ... obviously I had to get a new powercord. But they told me, nope - nothing wrong. They just get hot. All there is to it. Keep it on a flat surface - avoid laps (how dumb) and beds or carpet.
Still makes me really nervous ... and now this.
PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)

  • My macbook pro has been freezing up randomly and barcode looking lines go all across the screen. Does anyone know if Apple had a recall on a 2012 model macbook pro that would explain any of this?

    Does anyone know what I can do about this? I'm pretty certain that I didn't do anything wrong, and I already got it checked for viruses and it is not that.
    Thank you so much,

    Hard to say, you'd have to shop around. Check first with authorized service providers - https://locate.apple.com/au/en/#
    If they're not authorized, make sure they give a warranty on the repair and hopefully have some good reviews on Google/Yelp etc.
    Also make sure you test it when you get it back, it's common for the replacements to fail unfortunately (from Apple at least, probably anywhere).

  • Anyone know how to resolve iPhone 4 dropped calls as I have a case on and it's still losing every single call I make at least twice and I'm sick to the back teeth of it?

    Hi all I recently rang my service provider to complain about my
    iPhone 4. Iv done this several times but they always fob me off. This time I kicked off and they told me I would have to speak to apple. I did and they told me there was nothing they could do as my phone was out of warranty.
    Its really frustrated me cause it's a widely publicised issue that apple dropped a complete bollock allowing such a major flaw ever get released and then they have the cheek to use the warranty as a reason. This issue should not have anything to do with warranty as it's a fault
    With every single iPhone 4 out there. There should have been a recall and the issue resolved. Im disgusted apple and I won't be buying anything from any of your products again.
    Does anyone know how I can resolve this as apple want to charge me to repair even though it's there fault this issue exists?
    Thanks

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • My subscribed calendar does not display in today view in iOS7. Does anyone know how to make it show up?

    I have a subscribed calendar on my iPhone. The today view in notification center shows that I have an event at xxxx and tomorrow view says I have x events but the calendar day view does not display any of the events. I need this so I can easily see which rooms my events are in. Dows anyone know how to make the subscribed calendar show up in calendar day view?

    Interesting. May have uncovered a bug. It seems that limited duration events will display, but all day events wont on mine. (iPhone 5). Does that compare to what you are seeing (unfortunately, I have nothing in a subscribed calendar until the week end, so difficult to check. I do seem to recall seeing an event from one this past week end on the iPad, however).

  • Anyone know why appleID support tells you to go to iTunes support to fix your lack of a rescue email, but the link on iTunes for support kicks you right back to appleID support? Freakin' brilliant, Apple!

    So frustrated!
    I am trying to access some iTunes money for my son and keep running into security questions before I can purchase on his new iPod mini for him.
    So I access my appleID, and sure enough, I don't recall ever setting these questions up years ago, and apparently my answers now aren't the same as they were back when I first set up the account even if I did so.
    So appleID support tells me to send a rescue email.  Only I don't have that option under manage my ID.  Apparently I never set one up. 
    So appleID support says I need to contact iTunes support to fix this lack of rescue email issue.  And they provide this helpful link.
    Only the iTunes page has a link for iTunes support which redirects you to ... get this ... appleID support (AKA "square one") where you just were.
    Freakin' brilliant, I tell you!
    Anyone know how to break this cycle? 
    Anyone know how to get a live person to look at the problem? 
    I am so mad right now I could chew nails.

    You can contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get your questions reset via this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • Anyone know the prices of the iphone go phone plans?

    I called ATT and they said they cannot tell me that I have to go to the store. Their plans on the ATT site tend to be for the non data go phones. Anyone know the prices of go phone the plans for the iphone including data?
    Thanks

    I am using the GoPhone option and I'm currently spending $50 for 200 minutes with no texting at all. As I recall from the activation, the plans were the same prices as the contract plans, but with no Night/Weekend options. All GoPhone plans did come with the same unlimited data plans and there were options to add text messaging I believe. The basic set-up looked like standard rate plans plus an additional $20 for the unlimited data.
    I opted to use this, despite the OBVIOUS rip-off that it is, in order to test the AT&T network around here before locking in for 2 years. I'm glad I did "test drive" the network, because I'm ready to sign that contract after being able to use my iPhone with little to no troubles and only slight network disturbances.
    If you want the GoPhone option, either have TERRIBLE credit, or just neglect to put your SSN in when activating your iPhone.

  • Does anyone know why- when I iport a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright in IMovie full screen becomes worst in final cut, full screen...but clear when it is in still position?

    Does anyone know why- when I import a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright full screen in I Movie instantly becomes worst on full screen in Final Cut X...but clear again when I stop it to still position?

    I'm new to video editing but I think I recall seeing an option in FCPX which lets you choose the video quality for the preview window. I think the window reduces the quality when playing back for performance reasons and so perhaps that is why it seems to have less quality when moved over to FCPX? Just a possibility, I'm sure one of the more experienced users can confirm or deny this theory.

  • Anyone know how to get plug-in libraries (SonikSynth2 presets in my case) to show in Logic's library browser ?

    Anyone know how to get plug-in libraries (SonikSynth2 presets in my case) to show in Logic's library browser ?
    I would think this applies to any AU plug-in though.

    The most likely solution is a bit strange, but there are enough posts and discussions about it, so I am comfortable recommending it . . .
    What you want to do is to toggle Logic Pro 9 back and forth from a 64-bit application to a 32-bit application and then to a 64-bit application.  The IK Multiedia virtual istruments are 32-bits, so they do not get analyzed and verified when you only run Logic Pro 9 in 64-bit mode . . .
    The solution is to run Logic Pro 9 in 32-bit mode, which you do by right-clicking on the application; selecting "Get Info"; checking the "Open in 32-bit mode" checkbox; and then starting Logic Pro 9.  Once you do that and everything loads, quit Logic Pro 9; and repeat the "Get Info" procedure, but this time uncheck the "Open in 32-bit mode" checkbox and then run Logic Pro 9 again, where this time it will be running as a 64-bit application . . .
    Doing this apparently causes Logic Pro 9 to rescan the AU plug-ins, where during the 32-bit mode step it finds the various IK Multimedia virtual instrument plug-ins . . .
    If you do some searches, you will find the information, which as I recall also is found in an Apple Support item . . .
    Logic Pro 9: New or updated 32-bit Audio Unit Plug-ins sometimes are not available in 64-bit mode (Apple Support)
    Lots of FUN!

  • Hello all, have spent many months trying to resolve issues on my new imac 27in with no joy.Does anyone know who to complain to? thanks

    Hello all,
    Your help required please.
    Purchased a new 27 inch IMAC some months ago with nothing but problems [never run right] that technical support senior tec's cant resolve.Does anyone know where a complaint can be directed so as to get my issues resolved. Thanks , John 

    Are you in North America? If so, contact info is on this page -
    http://www.apple.com/contact/
    If you are not in North America, select your country on this page -
    http://www.apple.com/choose-your-country/
    and then go to the bottom of the resulting page and click the "Contact Us" link in the lower right corner.
    In general -
    - if you've not yet talked to Apple's Tech Support, do so. If you purchased AppleCare with the machine, be sure to mention that.
    - if you've been talking to Apple's Tech Support and not got resolution, give them one more try but ask to speak to a Level 2 person or a supervisor. If you got a job/ticket number at some point, refer to that on your call. If you got a case number while the machine was still under warranty, the case is still open - and, as I recall, repair should still be made under warranty.
    - if you've already done that, talk to Customer Service, explain the situation, firmly ask for resolution: repair or replacement.
    If there's an Apple Store near you, you can call them to set up an appointment to take your machine in. Again, if you have AppleCare be sure to mention that.
    You probably already know this, but...
    Being firm but polite works a lot better than being demanding and rude.
    You may feel like screaming at them out of frustration; please don't do it. Remember - they, the folk you talk to, didn't do whatever went wrong with the machine. Do what you need to do in order to get them to do what you want them to do.

  • Does anyone know how to download a radio station to your IPOD?

    I've noticed that there is a radio function on my Ipod, but I don't have a clue as to how to download a station or yet alone anything radio related, so if anyone knows what I can do to use this function please give me step by step instructions , thanks!

    Looks like that particular item was withdrawn about 5 years ago. FM Radio Reception with Classic.
    I had one at some point. Radio reception was poor as I recall.

  • Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?

    Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?
    I downloaded a series of podcasts recently.  They were imported into my "music" directory instead, making it more difficult for me to recall where I left off with the last podcast I listened to before having to stop it for whatever reason.  Thanks in advance for any help.

    You can do it, though the result isn't ideal. Import your episode, then select it in the Music list and hit command-i to bring up the info panel:
    However each episode you do this with will turn up as a 'podcast' with no name - and it doesn't seem possible to give it one - containing the one episode:

  • Does anyone know if the NVIDIA GTX 680 is compatible with Premier Pro 6?

    I am looking for a graphics card to utilize the mercury graphics engine.  Does anyone know if the GTX 680 works with Premier Pro 6?

    Bill,
    If I recall correctly, the only system difference between
    the two scores was 24GB RAM @#1 instead of 12GB @#17.
    It came as something of a surprise that doubling the RAM
    was able to knock down MPEG-2 encoding by more than 50%.
    I also seem to recall that once this fact was known... most everyone
    doubled their RAM within a couple of weeks resulting in my stay
    at the top of the list being pretty brief!

  • Hi. I am building a website with the White template. Does anyone know which typeface was used by Apple on the heading index? (I would like to repeat the index at the bottom of my pages).

    Hi I am building a website using iWeb's white template. I can't write HTML, so can't change the index, but would like to repeat it at the bottom of my pages. Does anyone know which typeface Apple used? Presumably it would be 'web friendly' for use as described above?

    Arial
    PS. You can see it in the source of the published page where it says new NavBar etc...
    ".navbar {\n\tfont-family: Arial, sans-serif;\n\tfont-size: 1em;\n\tcolor: #666;\

  • Does anyone know of an app that is for invoicing that can be accessed from more than one iPad at a time?

    I have a roofing business with my husband and we both have iPads we need a invoicing program app that we both can use and see the same material on both iPads is there any apps that anyone knows of that can do this?

    You'll need a program that can open and edit the invoices. You can search the app store for "invoices" and see what you can find - perhaps there is a cloud-based one that would allow you to store the invoices on their server.
    Or if the apps are fairly simple, you could open them in a Word Processing app that does sync two ways with the cloud and do your work on them - and then store the receipts in Dropbox/iDisk/Sugarsync. Loading the actual documents onto those services is very easy and self-explanatory once you sign up for them.
