Regarding the screens (just got back from Apple Store)

So I made an appointment with the iPod Genius today here in Los Angeles (Canoga Park store to be exact) and I was told that all hardware issues will be covered for a year. Should Apple recognize the problem, they will gladly switch them out within 1 year of the purchase date. He says there is no guarantee that this is a defect that will be fixed. So if you can live with it for now, my advice is to enjoy it and in the meantime, let's be vocal about the issue to the point where Apple will make the change within the year and swap them out.

Just got back from the Apple Store...optical drive officially dead

I just got back from the Apple Store, which confirmed what I feared all along. I received my MBP C2D over the holidays and was worried when it had trouble booting up several times. After trying to burn a few cds (some would quit, others worked fine), and a few discs that refused to read or eject I visited the boards to find out that issues with the Matshita UJ 587 were widespread. At this point my computer does not even recognize the ATA or Disc Burning hardware or the OSX disc inside. The only positive to come out of this is the customer service offered by Apple. I took the computer to the genius bar and the computer refused to boot up after the tech installed an OSX disc (hence the stuck cd inside). They are giving me a new computer since this one is brand new, but unfortunately I will have to order it from Apple Care since it is a custom job. For all of you out there with early MBP C2D optical drives that are acting up I feel your pain. Get your computer into an Apple store before the problem gets worse, these optical drives are awful.
Macbook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thank you. After 2 hours on the phone with Apple Care this morning they finally confirmed what the Mac Genius told me last night. The computer was shipped back this afternoon and I'll post again if there's any trouble with the new unit, I think I just got a lemon with this one...too bad. This is my first Mac so I'm really trying hard to stay positive.

Just got back from buying the iPhone

Just got back from the Apple Store, and finally got the 8 GB iPhone. I've heard the stories, read the discussion boards, but I love Apple products so I'm making the shift. I put the clear protector that I bought a few weeks back on before I even touched the screen (great product). I have a Vaja case on its way, should be here Thursday so I think I will wait to activate it until then (should be fun looking at the iPhone on my desk every day not being able to use it).
I'm going to be syncing to 2 computers like a lot of other people I have read. My Outlook 2007 from XP for my contacts & calendar and my PowerBook for my music, movies, and media.
I'm switching wireless carriers, also, so those of you actually HAPPY with their iPhone, that's what I need to be hearing right now. Sorry for the post, just excited to finally get this thing!

Just got back from iraq.....sound isnt workin on my computer

hey i recently just got back from iraq and while unpacking all my computer stuff from storage i went to turn my computer on and i dont have any sound, now i am somewhat knowledgable with computers and i've tried everything i can think of (uninstalling my soundblaser, uninstalling the on board sound , removing the soundblaster, and completly taking apart my whole computer. when i went to put everythng 2gether the computer read taht i had the soundcard and it went straight to the installing screen but when i started to install the driver half way through i got a warning message saying that the soundcard was not detected. in the device manager i keep getting the conflicting icon for the onboard sound. o yea the only sounds i get are from the computer itself. someone please help thanks.

Have you uninstalled all old drivers? Check that the card is inserted 00% in the pci slot? Change Pci slot? Update bios, and chipset drivers. Maybe if nothing else helps, try re-installing Windows or the OS you are using!! Hope something hel

Case: When trying t work in a second desktop, a program cannot be used if open in the first desktop. The screen just moves back to the first deskt

When I try to work in a second desktop, a program cannot be used if already open in the first desktop. The screen just moves back to the first desktop. Anybody else have this issue?

Whether or not this behavior occurs depends upon various preference settings and upon how you try to access the application in question. Personally, I like to organize my desktops according to project, so I regularly have windows from the same application spread out over several desktops. No problem.
For example, I have a Safari window in Desktop 1 and I want a Safari window in desktop 2. If, while in desktop 2, I bring Safari to the front by clicking on the Dock icon, I can open a new window in the usual ways. I could also just control-click on the Safari icon in the dock to get a new window in desktop 2.
(The only application that is a little weird in this regard is Finder. You have to do the control-click on it or it will always switch to a space with a window open.)
To make all this occur, I have Safari assigned to no desktops (control-click on Safari icon, then on Options) and in Mission Control preferences (in System Preferences) I have "When switching to an application..." UNchecked.
(Note that, with these settings, if an application is already in front and you click on its icon - or click twice on the icon if the applcation is not in front - the OS will assume you are looking for another open window and will switch spaces to give you one.)
Hope this helps.

Just got back from Paris and Israel and this update got my iphone 5 in recovery mode !!! please somebody tell me that I did not loose all my pics and videos !!!

Please somebody help me !!!! I just got back from Paris and Israel and this update got my iphone 5 in recovery mode. I can't loose all my pics and videos from my vacations ??????????????????????????????????

NOO it's not broken it is a software error. What you need to do is put your phone into what is called DFU mode or Device Firmware Upgrade Mode. What you have to do is connect your phone to itunes but do not start the sync process. Ignore any popups from itunes initially. When you are connected to itunes take your phone and hold down the home button and power button at the same time. Hold them down for about 30 seconds or so and you should see your device screen rollover to the black screen and disconnect from itunes once this happens it will reboot and automatically connect to iTunes, after this happens start the restore process through itunes and it should continue past the error message.
* Also before you do this try ejecting your sim card if you have the at&t model if you are on Verizon ignore this. There is a small oval port on the right side of the phone with a small pinhole. Use a paperclip and insert it into the hole, the door will pop open. Take the door out, remove the sim card and wait 5 minutes then return the sim card back into the phone and begin the above process.
If none of this works you may just want to bring it the genius bar and have them look at it. Good Luck and I hope this helps!

Just got back from the Apple store RE: wifi problems. No fix in sight.

I took my iPad into the Apple store this afternoon because of the wifi issues I've been having. The problem I'm having is that the connection frequently drops and I get a message that says "Incorrect Wifi Password". This has been happening a TON lately and is getting really annoying.
The genius at the Apple store tested my iPad on their network and couldn't replicate the problem. Therefore, he concluded that the iPad is not defective. He talked a lot about router technology and basically said that every other router and network other than what's at the Apple store is old technology, that's why it doesn't work. This is an unacceptable answer. He offered no fix or remedy for the problem.
I asked him if Apple is working on a remedy and he said they are NOT because there is NO PROBLEM.
Judging by what I've read on here and experienced, there IS A PROBLEM APPLE!
Since he was convinced that my device is functioning properly and also that Apple is not going to provide a fix or update to address the wifi issues, I asked about the return policy. He said I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A RESTOCKING FEE BECAUSE MY DEVICE IS NOT DEFECTIVE! <--- can you tell I'm yelling??!!
I asked him to help me understand how a device is not defective that can't function as intended on any network other than an Apple network. He said if my iPad works in the store, it's not defective and I'd have to pay the 10% restocking fee.
This is really really not what I expected from Apple, not at all. Since the Apple genius told me that Apple doesn't recognize that this is a problem, and that Apple is NOT working on a fix for it, I am going to return my device to Best Buy this afternoon.
I'm really not happy about this because I really love this device, but it's just not usable if it keeps dropping connections.
I'm having a sad Friday.

Good heavens, I can understand why you're having a bad day - and in essence you are absolutely right, if your iPad doesn't work with your network and other devices do, then the iPad is the problem. After all, if you go to Starbucks, a hotel, airport, hotspots provided by cities or any vendors, you can't ask them to replace their routers if you can't connect. It's not your job to resolve infrastructure problems, but it is Apple's to ensure the device is compatible with the infrastructure which exists.
However:
This is really really not what I expected from Apple, not at all. Since the Apple genius told me that Apple doesn't recognize that this is a problem, and that Apple is NOT working on a fix for it, I am going to return my device to Best Buy this afternoon.
I would urge you not to believe this genius speaks for Apple as an authority on the subject. Even if right at this moment, the more complaints, calls and returns they have for wifi faults, the more they will react to the problem, because they have no choice. What they generally won't do (based on past experience) is announce publicly that there is a problem, but it doesn't mean they are not collecting and reviewing data and researching potential solutions.
So, before you return your iPad - and might face the debate on restocking fees - call Apple and discuss the problem, if necessary escalating the call to the next tier up until you get someone who can help you work through it, or arrange for a timely replacement, or a return without you having to face a penalty. Apple are typically very good in customer service, as the surveys show, but that isn't always the case in the early stages of a fault where the issues are not yet clear.
Good luck!

Hi Experts,

Just got back from exchanging my Touch

So I had the negative screen issue with a 737 model of the Touch. I just exchanged it and they gave me a 736 one. Should I just not even open it and wait until i can get a 738? Has anyone got a 736 without an issue? Thanks in advanced.

ouch, i just returned mine to a twin cities,MN apple store, tonight,,, they still have week 37 ones. bummer, cause i had a somewhat hard time replacing it, they didn't replace it because of the blacks, but because the brightness was low compared to other displays. my new one looks worse than my old one hopefully there is an official serial number recall) i hope it isn't hard to return this one. i'm going to wait a few weeks though so newer models ship. it would be nice if the brick and mortar stores would receive some word eventually, i asked if anyone else had a problem and they hadn't heard of any issues what so ever.

I got my macbook back from apple store and now it wont start

I took my macbook to the Apple store to get keyboard replaced. Now, I can't get it to boot up past the Apple screen with the spinning dial beneath it. I there anything I can do at home or should I take it back? More importantly, is this a fix I'm going to have to pay for because my computer is no longer covered by warranty?

HI. Try botting up your Macbook using the install disk (insert the install disc and press C). On the menu bar, click on disk utility and try repairing the disk and disk permissions.

Macbook Pro not working right after getting it back from Apple Store

I had to bring my last generation Macbook Pro into the Apple store to have a faulty optic drive and logic board replaced. I just got home and the date in the preferences was set to 2001 and it will not connect to my network, even though I am typing this on another Mac using the same connection. It does see it, it just shows a message with an exclamation mark in the Airport area saying no internet connection.
Any ideas of what I may need to do? Are both of these a sign that they may have messed something up? I did reboot it after getting it back.
Thanks.

Just bring it back. Have them check it out and demonstrate that it's working properly.

The download of an app from apple store keeps repeating

i am trying to download an app from the apple store but the download just repeat itself over and over.

Whare are you located?
You can only use the country's store in which you are located and your payment method must be associated with that country.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

No audio in quicktime after getting MacBook back from Apple Store

Since getting my MacBook back from the shop (they claim it was a mechanical HD failure but it seems more likely the crash was caused by the 10.4.11 update), Quicktime movies play with video, but no sound. I've tried going into the MIDI Audio utility, but all I see is "Audio output not supported." The text is grey and I can't do anything.
Anyone have any ideas?

Take your computer back to the Apple Store so that your computer can be fixed properly.
When it’s time to pick up your computer from the repair shop/Apple Store:
* Before you leave the repair shop/Apple Store, make sure you have the repair tech(s) power the comp up and demonstrate that it is indeed working & repaired properly too your satisfaction.*

Just got back from odtug, where's the data modeling?

I could just have not been paying attention, but I thought in one of Sue Harper's presentations she demonstrated the data modeling feature that I've seen a little mentioned about on here. Was that just a sneak peak of what to come or am I just looking over it in 1.5.1?

Yep - Sue was giving us a sneak peek at a new feature now under development. She said (with the usual caveats about dates) that she hoped to have something more to show, and maybe to try by the time of Oracle Open World. The modeling feature is not in the current version.
If you need modeling right now, I suggest that you install JDeveloper. Its modeling tools are pretty good, though it stores metadata in XML files, not in a database. A database for metadata is the major advantage that the coming modeling tool for SQL Developer will have.
