Still no whine fix?

I've had my MacBook for about 45 days now, and I'm not as happy as I'd like to be. The quality is worse than I have on my 4-year-old Dell: the mouse button is loose, the LCD bezel doesn't feel secured when the notebook is closed, the screen has uneven backlighting, and now the CPU whine. Even worse, I hear many of these problems are "normal."
I don't want to send in the unit for repair--I've heard stories of them coming back looking worse than they went in. I called AppleCare and all they wanted to do is send me through a maze of troubleshooting that didn't help whatsoever.
Is it too late to get the MacBook replaced? I mean, I know it's past the 14-day period, but do they make exceptions?
I'm very disappointed in Apple and expected more for my nearly $1700 investment.

You have up to 14 days to return your MacBook. As you've past that point by about a month, your only option is to have it repaired. If you're having problems, and you're within warranty... but you don't want to have it sent in for repairs, you don't have many options. There is certainly no harm in asking for a replacement... but as you haven't given Apple a chance to fix the problems you're encountering, the odds of them offering a replacement are slim.

HT4199 this still didn't fix iPad connectivity after updating to iOS 6.0.1 !!! intermittent wi-fi connection, even with a direct line-of-sight to the router.

"HT4199: iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points"
this still didn't fix iPad connectivity after updating to iOS 6.0.1 !!! intermittent wi-fi connection, even with a direct line-of-sight to the router.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Today my iPhone 5c earphone jack stopped working, I don't have applecare but my phone is only a month old. I was just wondering if I could still get it fixed at a reasonable price.

Your iPhone has a one year warranty even without buying AppleCare. As long as the problem wasn't caused by damage you caused (e.g. dropping, water, etc) it should be covered. The following may help: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/

Comic Life Whine Fix - Works Better Than Photobooth?

Just curious about something. The Photobooth whine fix never really worked for me. As soon as I quit it, the whine came back. But Comic Life... I would open that and quit it - and the whine disappeared forever (well, at least until I open iChat). However, I did note with this fix, the processor usage stayed at zero (if I wasn't doing anything).
I'm just curious if others have had the same effect with Photobooth. I've heard people say that a lot of the other fixes were no good because they upped processor usage.
However, the Comic Life fix seems to not suffer from this problem.
Thoughts?

Thanks... that did the trick. However, my processor usage indicator hovers at between 1 and 5 percent usage after that whereas with the Comic Life fix, it stays at around 0-1 percent usage. That would seem to indicate to me that using Comic Life (aside from being quicker - you just open and close) will preserve battery life longer.

Self assigned IP : still no bug fix ?

I have a problem for a long time with my Time Capsule. I use an ADSL modem and router (from Free French ADSL Provider) and my TC is plugged on it and set to "Bridge" mode.
I have many devices wired and wireless on the TC. But I have a big problem, sometimes (not all the time), my MacBook is getting a "169.254.x.x" IP address, a self assigned IP.
That's weird because sometimes it works well from 6 AM to 7 PM for example, then at 7 PM it doesn't work anymore. There is no reason why, because I haven't touch anything in my network.
It's pretty annoying. Is Apple aware of this problem ? Can we hope a fix soon ? I had many problems with the WIFI on my Mac (before, it was the "wake up" WIFI problem but it seems to be fixed in the last Lion update).
I've tried everything, reset all (TC, Macbook etc.), sometimes it works a day, the other day it's not
Thanks

7pm sounds too specific to me.. get a wifi analysing software, kismet on the mac but inssider on a pc is a better utility. Locate all the wireless around you and what channels are used. I would say you are being swamped by higher intensity wireless than the TC can produce.
Go into the wireless setup and change over to manual settings.. set to N wireless.. and set to manual channels.
In 2.4ghz try 1, 6, 11.. but pick whatever is the lowest usage from your survey of wireless usage.
Also try and use 5ghz as it has less interference. When you are bridged, the IP address is derived from the modem and not the TC so the issue can be there.. try setting dhcp to fixed for the MAC address of each wireless. and set the lease to very short.. 30min or even try 10min.
There certainly are issues with Lion networking.. exactly what is hard to figure out.. but you can also try the TC with earlier firmware.. go back to 7.5.2 which was much more reliable than later ones.
You can also try it in router mode putting the modem in bridge if the ISP supports PPPoE.. or use DMZ with the modem still doing routing. The TC will kick up a double NAT error but just select to ignore it. Sometimes it will work better in router mode.

How come they still haven't fixed the ios 6 wifi problem on ios 6.0.1 making me mad -.-

I know apple or the tech support doesn't read this but come on tell them to fix the wifi problem that started from ios 6 and still continuing to ios 6.0.1. I already gave them another feedback like 5 days ago. I really don't want to reconnect to my wifi everytime. I already did everything possibly to fix my wifi problem. I know its IOS 6.0.1 because it started with ios 6 and still not fixed by apple update to 6.0.1.
I have a very limit data plan of 300 MB on at&t and I don't want to go over so I rely on my wifi most of the time.

Maybe you just lucked out but both my devices running ios 6.0.1 have wifi problems shutting of at random times during sleep. I know you guys will say when its plugged in it doesn't lose wifi true but I never remember having this problem in the previous ios verison from ios 4 to 5(On my Iphone 4, and from my Iphone 4s from IOS 5) until I updated both devices to ios 6 or even when I had a iTouch 3rd gen long time ago I never remember it shutting of my wifi. I am telling you this never happened before IOS 6 where I need to leave it plugged in just to have my wifi during wake up.

I thought I believed my iPhone 4 with iOS5.0 would not disconnect during sleep mode. However, I was wrong. What I did was to ping the IP addresses on my iPhone 4 (iOS5) and iPhone 5 (iOS 6 then, and iOS6.0.1 now) when they were in sleep mode. Very true that there were timed-out on both devices. Once I woke them up, ping went thru. I did a scan on my home network using my iPad while the other 2 phones were in sleep mode, I was not able to see them.
I thought my iPhone4 did not disconnect too. But again, I think the reconnecting to wifi on iOS 5 is SO MUCH quicker than on iOS6 so user would think there was never a disconnect.

I was in Aussie last month and dropped my iPod Touch (4th Gen) on the road. The screen was cracked on the top left-hand corner. The screen got fixed but the wireless stopped working. Can I still get it fixed under my warranty? (bought last July)

I was in Aussie last month and dropped my iPod Touch (4th Gen) on the road. The screen was cracked on the top left-hand corner (where the wireless area is). The screen got fixed but the wireless stopped working. So I am wireless-less... I bought it last July and its still under warranty, but can I still claim a repair on it?

No because it was physical damage

What versions of Flash Player Still Receive Security Fixes?

Greetings,
I'm seeking a page that lists the supported vs. unsupported versions of Flash Player. That is, what versions are still eligible to recieve security fixes (regardless of OS).
Thanks!
Edit update:
To be more clear and reword things: I'd like to find the annoucement pages for each unsupported version of Flash Player, that is, links to office Adobe content showing when certain versions entered an unsupported state.
Thanks again!

As far as I know, we don't have an official page that lists when a version stops receiving security fixes. I suspect we'll do a blog post when this occurs and I'll also update in our announcement forum which you can find here:
Is there a way to be automatically notified when a new Flash Runtime release is made?
The announcement forum also lets you know when security udpates are made, and where to find both the 11.x and 10.3 updates.

Update 10.1.0.2014 still does not fix Activesync

I was so looking forward to getting back corporate email over Activesync but alas the new update has still not fixed it. Would someone at Blackberry please fix the connection issue between Exchange 2003 and BB10, I believe it has something to do with SSL certs. My company uses Exchange 2003 without SSL certs and no one with BB10 devices can get email or sync and info. Whenever we try to connect we get the error "Your device is connected to a network, but the internet service is not available. Check your network settings".
I know all the settings are correct because they were working before an update you issued a month or so ago and the same setting work perfectly on my Playbook.
Also someone please tell me why Blackberry is using Microsoft Activesync technology?

Hi rudeboouuy,
This KB article may provide more information on the issue you are having with your Active Sync email. ""Your device is connected to a network but the Internet service is not available. Check your network settings." is displayed when setting up a personal Microsoft ActiveSync account on the BlackBerry 10 smartphone using port 80" http://blackberry.com/btsc/KB34244
Let me know if that helps.

1.0.2 Update and still no volume fix

Ok, I went to the AT&T store by my office and I call my house phone from every iPhone in the store, and they all had the same level volume as my iPhone. (LOW) So I no longer believe those FEW people that say it must be my phone and that there phone does not have volume issues.
I drive a somewhat noisy vehicle, and still this is the only phone I have ever had issues hearing callers on. For those people who say they have no issues, well then I suggest they leave there house or quiet office and tell me if they still have no hearing issues. Try hearing callers in a crowded restaurant or coffee shop.
To sum this up we now have two updates from Apple and they still ignore this problem. When we they fix this

They made the iPod the best feature on the phone, and that would be fine if advertised it as an iPod 6th generation that includes a phone... but they didn't. It is called iPhone that has an iPod, and the slacked off on the phone.
It is a phone, an iPod and an internet device in no particular order. Although I agree with you that the earpiece volume needs to be improved, this is the first generation of this device which was just released less than 2 months ago. For you it is the earpiece volume and for others it is something else that hasn't been addressed yet in less than 60 days so the assumption is Apple doesn't care and isn't working on any of it which is an incorrect assumption.
Yes the iPhone's earpiece volume is somewhat weak but apparently not for everyone to the extent of your complaint.
Within the first two weeks after purchasing the iPhone, I experienced occasional crackling through the earpiece with some calls only, not all.
I called AppleCare and after an hour on the phone trying various things - including the tech support person calling me on my iPhone to see if receiving a call made any difference over when placing a call - my iPhone was picked up and sent in for testing and repair or possible replacement. I was not informed about what was discovered as the cause of this particular problem but I was sent a new replacement iPhone in exchange. I haven't experienced the same earpiece crackling with the replacement and the earpiece volume seemed to be improved but it wasn't a night and day difference by any means.
Long story short and as already provided by another poster in this thread, I suggest calling AppleCare (800) 694-7466 to report this problem which is unacceptable to you. Your iPhone will be picked up for repair or possible replacement and if replaced and the replacement is no better and still not acceptable, you have a good chance of returning your iPhone for full credit without being charged a restocking fee.

Still no whine fix?
