The Answer Everyone Has Been Waiting for...

Well, Here's the answer everyone wants!!!!!!
I took my brand-spanking new unibody MacBook Pro 17" machine into Apple. This is what came back:
"Ran Battery diagnostic and both the battery and AC adapter tested fine. Did a bit of digging and there are many customers having this issue since upgrading to Snow Leopard. The 10.6.1 update hasn't solved the and the only solution presented so far is to downgrade back to the original 10.5 system that the machine shipped with. He will need to downgrade from the original system discs that shipped in the box with the machine. Since this is a software issue, it unfortunately isn't covered under warranty."
So, the you know what to do when the next person tells you it's just your battery!

When I fill up the car the tank is past full on the gauge and I drive alot before the gauge moves...although not accurate it gives a person a sense of getting more, When you purchase a new high tech lith poly powered notebook a person would like to see full 100% reached for a few months anyway, even if 1-2% charge is in Apple's favor. Again that warm feeling even though not exactly accurate. After several hours of use I wouldn't realize a few minutes of charge. But I sure notice those minutes off the top (99%. After 3 complete cycles I only reach 99%. I don't know about you but that seems odd.
I've also used Windows notebooks that say 99%. In my experience it is normal.
If you know anything about how li-ion must be charged, you'd know that 99% is normal because you just can't trickle-charge these things. I know what you're getting at with the car tank analogy but technically speaking, that is a completely wrong way of understanding how a li-ion battery works. Neither the drain nor the charge is linear in the way that draining or filling a tank of liquid is.

    Can anyone tell me how i get to speak to someone in customer service? they are retiring Forms Cental and i really need to speak to someone about the renewl of my subscription. THe live chat has been unavailable for two weeks and there is no other option to get in touch with these people. Any ideas anyone?

    Hi SwarovskiUK,
    I'm sorry to hear that you've been having trouble contacting Customer Care. Live Chat is certainly available--are you not seeing the chat option on the Contact Customer Care page? Or are just not able to get through?
    In any case, I should be able to help you myself. What can I do for you?
    Best,

  • The latest update has been running for 16 hours. Is that normal.

    The small window has been showing for 16 hours. It says downloading the update, and connecting to the server and it has the bar running across. How don I know when it is complete.

    Not normal. You probably got a bad connection, but the update is not what you want. You are so far behind at Firefox 3.6.10 that even if the update worked you would still probably have to do more updates. With Mac OS X 10.4 you cannot go to Firefox 4.0, but you will want to go to the latest 3.6 version which is 3.6.17
    Start at http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html ''(those with current systems can upgrade to 4.0.1 at http://www.mozilla.com for 4.0.1)''. At the completion of the download don't let the setup start Firefox for you, when the setup ends, start Firefox in your normal manner this way you will be less likely to create a new profile.
    The extra startup pages are temporary -- read them. The next time Firefox comes up you should be back to starting with your normal home page.
    Note: Firefox must be down once the install starts.
    Close Firefox with File>Exit. Then make sure Firefox is not running --
    On Windows: check the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
    On Mac: Firefox > Quit then Command+option+Esc, if Firefox running use Force quit
    Permission errors on Mac:
    If you were getting permission errors on a Mac, download the latest
    Firefox version (for your system), then uninstall and reinstall Firefox. Do not remove your profile directories and files as they contain your settings,
    bookmarks, history, extensions, passwords, and cookies.

  • HT1349 My ipad will not start up, it has the swirl in the center of the screen and has been there for 30hrs now.

    My ipad will not start up, it has the swirl in the center of the screen and has been there for 30hrs now, what can I do?

    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them.  Let them deal w/it.

  • How the profile id has been created for anonymous user

    hi all,
    when i print the ShoppingCurrent.current the below line is displaying
    Order[type:default; id:o1030002; state:INCOMPLETE; transient:true; profileId:1310002; ]
    in that how the profile id has been created.
    thanks in advance
    shya

    User profile is created when a request is processed by the ProfileRequestServlet in the ATG servlet pipeline and is made available as session scoped Profile object for each user. Profile object has a dataSource property which points to the underlying RepositoryItem. For anonymous user, the underlying RepositoryItem created through ProfileRequestServlet remains transient by default. Therefore you won't find the item in the repository or database with that transient repository item's id. You can change this default behavior if you want by changing the persistentAnonymousProfiles property of the ProfileRequestServlet component to true which will create a new profile in the database for each anonymous visitor.

  • ***Solution to all the problems everyone has been seeing***

    So I got my iPod touch yesterday and I have been having the same problems as everyone else is. I talked to an apple genuis at the apple store and figured everything out. He didnt know the answer right off the bat, but after hooking up the iPod to his mac and discovering that syncing works perfectly, I tried it on my HP PC. Again, it didnt work - I kept getting all the errors again and again like before. I would get about 17 songs transferred and it would stop. So...I figured out that the only thing that works is when the iPod is totally restored, then I had to manually drag each album from the library to the iPod icon. I know this sounds crazy and like it would take forever, but one of the problems I was having is that my artwork was getting swapped with other albums to which they didnt belong. My method made it so that when the error came up, I only had to disconnect the iPod and reconnect it in order to have the correct album artwork and everything. As far as movies, good luck. They are too big to maintain a constant stream for a period of time long enough to get the entire thing on the iPod.
    Apple will come out with a patch, they have to. The iPod touch obviously takes a little more power than the USB ports can put out and that has to be fixed. As for me, I want a mac now.
    Also, if anyone has tried putting a movie on their iPod touch and it stops, but when you click on the icon it still shows orange usage for something you dont know what it is, please let me know if you know why this is happening. I dont know how to get if off and I dont feel like doing all the dragging again.
    I hope this has helped the TONS of people with my same problem.

    I agree with the last post. Although what "anketchum" offered was a band-aid "solution" it is of course not an actual solution. The solution, like he said, has to come from Apple in the form of a patch. I have tried disconnecting all my USB ports and having ONLY the Ipod on it. Same thing. I have to keep ejecting and connecting the iPOD to get another 20 songs till it gives me the error message again. I am only writing this to be yet another voice shouting out to Apple to solve this issue. Not everyone using a PC will choose to get a MAC. Some might choose to give up on Apple products altogether (although I really don't want to!). Apple ... please please fix the issue. This is my 2nd iPOD touch (had to get my first one replaced. Instore "geniuses" didn't know anything!

  • Yosemite installation freezes and will not complete the install. Has been installing for over eight hours.

    the progress bar on the Yosemite installation is stuck about a third in. Has not moved for eight hours. This is a brand new computer. Has any one had this problem. I can't contact Apple online support as they need a serial number. I can't get the serial number because my computer doesn't work now!

    Look at the bottom of the MBP.  There should be the serial number in very small print.

  • Retriving the style that has been used for a charecter in a Document

    how can i retrive the style that was used ( bold /italic , color , size etc or Style name ) with character in a defaultStyledDocument.

    This should get you the attribute set for a given character:

    Element element = doc.getCharacterElement( offset );
    AttributeSet attributes = element.getAttributes();
