UGH. many problems, after 3 replacements during the summer

So, during summer i got 3 replacements, about 7 days apart, after first getting it.
A few months ago it started being ridiculous again.
Problems:
1) I've used the DVD drive (it's a burner too) 4 times. 2 of those times i had to reinstall the OS; I then burned an audio cd, and installed a video game. Earlier this week I was having tons of problems with the cd drive. It wasn't working, and now the cd won't even come out (note: the first two times i got it replaced it was because of a cd drive issue)
2) I get a lot of lock/shut down errors (the multi-languaged gray box)
3) I can't do any form of hard drive repair using system utilities. it says i need to reinstall and format, but i can't do that because of the cd drive!
4) I have the defect with the palm rest, where it turns that nasty brown.
5) The side of the case (near where you would plug in usb devices) is very loose, and if you press it, it makes a weird noise.
6) The spacebar, and the click on the mouse are sticking (notice: i never take this thing out of doors, and i don't have any drinks or food in my dorm room)
7) Some of my itunes songs started playing in super fast-foward, so i don't know what that problem is. It seems like it would be the memory, or a hard drive problem.
My major concern is that i do a lot of heavy writing, and i need my computer. I'm convinced that there are problems. Enough of them, at least, to get it fixed or replaced. I need this computer to work, and i can't have downtime.
Do you think it is possible for me to get a temporary computer while it is getting fixed, or do you think they will just give me a replacement all together?

If you do take it in for repair... you might want to use an app like super duper:http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
to make a bootable clone of your drive so you don't loose any data. An authorized apple dealer and repair center might lend you a computer. Who knows...

Unfortunately I have yet to call AppleCare because I am on a project for 3 weeks and cannot be without my laptop during that period....
Until that time I am trying to figure out what I can do to protect the Palm Rest/Mouse Pad area of my Macbook once they either fix it or give me a new one. Has anyone had any experience with either of these products that can provide some input as to whether they are good or bad?

After Yosemite Update, Macbook Pro Frustratingly slow, along with many problems after

My Info:
Macbook Pro (2012)
2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
OS X 10.10.3 (14D136)
Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
186.54 GB free of 498.88 GB
Until the last OS X Update (Yosemite), I have had no problems with my almost three year old MacPro.
However, after the last update, I have so many problems with my mac, I just feel like throwing
it out the window.
Unfortunately, I did not have a backup prior to the update, but I backed up my photos and files, then proceeded
to follow apple's instructions (apple support chat) to erase the HD and re-install yosemite from online. Then, I backed up my files and photos from my external drive. (I used TIME MACHINE)
Fine in theory, but:
1. my iphoto library was somehow lost, nowhere to ever be found again
2. I suddenly have issues with my trackpad--the "double click" or "right" click refuses to work, I cannot drag and drop.
3. I have java runtime error messages even upon startup, without internet connection, even though I have already deleted anything and everything java related.
4. My safari is completely useless. Freezes even when only using one tab, must force quit every second.
5. My computer decides by itself when to zoom in and out of a page.
6. My apps are completely slow, I most always need to force quit them
7. My trash has many issues-- If putting a file in the trash, it says "moving file to trash" for hours on end without ever completing the action, also, if I try emptying the trash, it's the same story.
8. Settings. If I try to change a setting, it says "authenticating" for ever and ever without ever authenticating, and I am unable to change any settings.
I have talked to apple many times but have not yet reached a solution.
I have no other resolution at the moment, as I am in Taiwan for another month (My Chinese is limited and there are few, if none authentic Apple stores around)
I have one more month on my warranty so I can *possibly* take it in to a store when I return home, but I first wanted to ask here and see if anyone else stumbled upon the same issues, or if they had solutions.
Thank you!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
        Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
        Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.
[Process completed]
The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

Is anyone else having trouble after thy downloaded Mountain lion x with iMessages mine isnt linking to my computer because it keeps saying i have a registration error. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it

HI,
People who have had computer that has had the Logic/motherboard replaced during repair or refurbishment that has not has the Mac Serial Number Flashed to the board have found that iMessage in particular have not been able to "register".
A current purchase of Mountain Lion will tend to give you the latest version which as of Thursday (12 th Mar) is OS X 10.8.3
You can use System Information to find if the Serial Number is there as it appears under the Hardware section.
If it is missing you need to get to an Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider who can flash the info to the board.

Problems after upgrading to the iPhone 5S

After upgrading to the iPhone 5S 2 weeks ago I've had nothing but problems. It's quite sad because I had the iphone 4s for 2 years and had no problems whatsoever. Anyways... ever since I got the new phone I've been getting the "imessage waiting for activation" message on and off everyday, and today my phone started freezing on the lock screen and then restarting itself over and over. It won't let me press any other button and is unresponsive when I plug it into itunes.
I've already called my cellphone service provider (Bell) and Apple tech support and had no help from either.
Should I take the phone in to get it replaced? Do I go to Bell or Apple?
Help Please! I've tried everything off of these forums!

Problem in replacing with the unicode equivalent character ?

Hello,
I have a situation wherein i must replace
m with \u3005
n with \u3006
o with \u3041
etc ...,
I get the codepoint value from the multibyte represenation .
But the problem is
I can not replace
String temp="ename";
temp.replace('m','\u3005');
I am not allowed to hard code the value 3005, rather i am suppose to get the code point value from the multibyte representation.
I have no problem in getting the code point value from the multibyte represenation.
After i get the code point value i must concatenate the codepoint value with "\u"
Currently i am following this implementation to do the replacement,
String rp=null,snd;
String tmp="ename";
String hh="";
for(int i=0;i<tmp.length();i++)
snd=getCodepoint(tmp.charAt(i));
if(snd!=null)
rp=replace(String.valueOf(tmp.charAt(i)),
String.valueOf(tmp.charAt(i)),"\\u"+snd);
hh=hh+rp;
else
hh=hh+String.valueOf(tmp.charAt(i));
//The replace method
public static String replace(String source, String pattern, String replace)
if (source!=null)
final int len = pattern.length();
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
int found = -1;
int start = 0;
while( (found = source.indexOf(pattern, start) ) != -1)
sb.append(source.substring(start, found));
sb.append(replace);
start = found + len;
sb.append(source.substring(start));
return sb.toString();
else return "";
Please tell me how to do the replacement
Because when i display after the replacement is done i get
e\u3006a\u3005e for the string "ename"
where as i should be getting special characters in place of 'm' and 'n' in the string
or i must atleast get e?a?e for the string "ename"
Please do offer some suggesstions in this regard
Your suggesstions would be very useful
NOTE:
I am not suppose to make use of the method replaceAll( ) to do the replacements
Thanks and regards

So many problems after downloading verizon internet suite!!

After downloading the verizon internet suite , i am having some major issues with my computer that i have never had in the 3 years that i have had it. Actually , i have never had problems with my computer or any of the anti spyware and anti virus programs that i have had for it. now that i downloaded the software from verizon, the biggest problem is that my computer will just shut down in the middle of something or shortly after start up. i have also tried doing some custimized scans and it just shut down right in the middle of it. i have an acer inspire with vista and after downloading it , everytime i start up i have a little box in bottom left corner that says eRecovery agent and the only thing u can do is close it. the only thing i know about it , is that it has something to do with acer but i can't find the eRecovery anywhere else on my computer. when i have problems with it shutting down at start up it will continue to do it everytime until i start it up with out the ethernet cable and then i plug it back in. This is so frustrating that i am ready to throw my computer threw verizons main office window. Seriously, this has caused so many problems and i have already unistalled the other program i had previously and now i am stuck. Can someone please give me some advise

First make sure that there are no other AV programs on your computer. Even inactive ones. If there is another loaded on the computer, even inactive, you will have issues.
If you do have another on the computer, do a system restore to prior to the VISS install, then remove the old AV and then reinstall the VISS.
Now even though there are some on this board that are biased against the McAfee, its really an undeserved rep. There are Millions of people that use McAfee (it is the second largest AV software out right now after all) with no issues what so ever.
Now having said that, I personally prefer AVG myself. But thats mostly because I'm a penny pincher and refuse to pay for something I can get for free.

Many problems after last update

Ok, I will tell my actions step by step, because this update and my Arch now = big mess.
I started the update (yaourt -Syu) in the end of January. Because my internet connection is not always working properly, I have to repeat this many times to start the actual update (after downloading ALL the packages). This time, I couldn' t download all the packages and then I went on my winter break. After I returned home, I continued update (1/2 Feb). Firstly I' ve done yaourt -Su to end this old update and then yaourt -Syu to download rest of the packages. And then I restarted my Arch...
What happened first was, that Entrance (I use e17 as my graphical environment) was not working. Using LiveCD (the consoles are not working - agetty is broken, but it had been broken long before this update) I changed it to GDM. Also not working. Then I switched to KDM from KDEmod. It worked. I couldn' t start E and in LXDE panel was broken. I started KDEmod and everything from Qt worked fine. But all GTK was broken, and I couldn' t start any NetworkManager client. And not only. I discovered, that many of programs need older version of libpng (libpng12.so.0) and some of them also libjpeg (libjpeg.so.7). I borrowed these files from my friend, who also have Arch, but hardly ever updates it and copied to /usr/lib. The programs started working. But soon, all KDE and stuff broke. I discovered, that newer versions of libraries are not detected. I switched to GDM. Now I am running GNOME. Qt(mod) is not working since it needs newer versions of libraries. And for more, none of my network interfaces is working. I tried to connect to wireless network and by cable and nothing of it worked (with NetworkManager). I can' t even connect with my loopback interface to eg. CUPS (I can' t print) or MPD (I can' t connect to server by MPD client)!!!
And now I need your help...
What I want:
1. WORKING NETWORK!
2. Programs - how to make them use newer versions of libpng and libjpeg.
3. Entrance - all I know is "Id "x" respawning too fast. Disabled for 5 minutes"
4. Enlightenment - it' s not working anymore! How to get it to work?
If someone knows, I would need also help with consoles. I installed fbgetty (agetty is not in repo anymore) - how to configure it to make the consoles? Or how to get agetty to work? ("Id "c<number from 1 to 6>" respawning too fast. Disabled for 5 minutes" - all I know about consoles not working). I have changed them from /dev/vc/<number> to /dev/tty<number>. but it wasn' t working. And it isn' t now.
Please help me!

I tried starting enlightenment_start from console, and here is the result:

Can someone help?
EDIT2: ok, I tried arche17 script and e works now quite fine (not including strange fonts in menu and modules, desktop problems like disability to move icons and double launch of programs after clicking a shortcut).
So, finally, after long time since update, my system is working more or less like before it (When I say system, I don' t mean Arch itself, but Arch with my favourite WM and my settings). I won' t update it for a longer time now, because I want it to work
Thank you everybody who helped!

Many problems after data migration

I recently installed an SSD on my Early 2011 MBP. I put my old drive in an enclosure and after installing Mavericks 10.9.4 on the new drive, I used Migration Assistant to copy over all my Users/Applications etc. Many problems ensued. One of the users migrated without any (major) problems. The other user had the following issues:
1) Every time I log in, several programs automatically open (Word, Powerpoint, Messages, Preview, Firefox). Even if I quit them all, log out and/or reset, then log back in, they all open back up again. This didn't happen before. None of these programs are in Users & Groups --> Login Items.
2) iCould, Facetime and Messages all ask my for me AppleID password, every time I log in. Facetime even asks for the password twice (I put it in correctly. If I put it in incorrectly it lets me know). It does this every time I log in.
3) Facetime and iMessage won't connect to the network. However, if I make a new user and sign in to Messages it works, so I know the network is fine.
4) Every time I start Firefox, it opens to the "recovery" page. I can delete the profile information, and it gets rid of this problem, but then I have no history/saved passwords etc. and that defeats the purpose of having my information migrated over.
I've googled the above issues and tried all the solutions I could find but nothing works. I'm fairly computer literate but this is causing me to pull my hair out! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I resolved the problems above by using Linc Davis' post on Nov 23, 2013 11:44 AM on this thread: Could not sign in to iMessage.
Details copied again below
Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.

When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name. How I can prevent the original file name being replaced during the downloading process?

When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name. How I can prevent the file name being changed during this downloading process?

Hi Glenyse,
Here are my steps.
1. I upload multiple image (jpg) files onto my photo album.
2. I select the "sharing" by email option for this album.
3. I enter the recipient's email address.
4. The recipient receives my message and clicks on the link.
5. The recipient accesses my photo album and clicks on one of the images.
6. The image opens up to its own screen.
7. The recipient selects the "download" and then save file option.
Here is the part I do not understand. For some reason, during this "download" process, the original name which I have given to the file is replaced by different name. So I was hoping that someone knows how to prevent the file name from being changed during the "download and save" process.
Much appreciated if you can help me find a solution to this problem.

Random shutdown problem after replacement of new MB

i got the replacement of my MB one month ago due to the random shut down problem. the symptom before the replacement was not only random shut down but also that the MB could not be turned on once a while.
now it's been one month after i got the replacement from apple store, there is no randon shutdown at all, but when i got up this morning, i couldn't turn it on. i tried several times, but it just turned out to be dead. any suggestion about what i'm supposed to do? shall i ask for a refund or a replacement? i'm just afraid of that i would get a defect model again.

thanks for both replies.
i usually close the MB when the shutdown is completed, i know the shutdown won't be completed if i close it right after i shut it down.
and also, i got a whole new mb as a replacement from apple store rather than having it repared and just the logical board replaced. and it's really weird, since it was said the new logical board doesn't have whatsoever problem. i also read some news on tuaw or infiniteloop (i forgot which one it is), the RSS is not really caused by the faulty logical board, it was the heat sink melt by the high temperature coming from the intel processor which shortcut the circuits around it. now i'm totally desperated. it looks like unless apple drops the stupid intel chip, otherwise the RSS will never go ever.

Problem with udev during the boot

Hi guys,
Sorry if I didn't post this message in the good section but I didn't find any support section, so I supposed that this section was the most apropriate.
So, I have a really ennoying problem with udevd since the latest kernel upgrade (3.2.2-1) during the boot.
I have the following error at the boot:
"udevd[37]: No such file or directory." and then the OS is unable to mount the disks and give me the weakest shell ever while saying me "You're on your own". Thank you Arch!
I can't find any informations on google about this error, and I d'ont find a complete explanation of udev debug (specialy because no logs are written at this moment).
Thank you very much guys.

Could you elaborate on how to just reinstall the kernel? Somehow I'm stuck
Usually, you'll need a live CD (I recommend an ArchLinux Installation CD) or an LTS kernel sitting around on the same machine that can get you more or less into your favored machine. It can also be done, by pxe/diskless booting from an installation (I'm a fan of quick and efficient)! Then you have to mount all the necessary partitions /, /usr (sometimes /var if you need your packages) and most importantly /boot. They have to be mounted underneath the rescue system being used , usually under /mnt. Also needed is a mock-up of your /proc. /sys and /dev. Once they are mounted accordingly, then you chroot into your installation you need to fix. It helps if the rescue system has the same kernel, because the chroot'ed system usually tries to build your kernel based on the rescue system, but if you have your kernel package handy, it will build it with the packages modules & kernel.

UGH. many problems, after 3 replacements during the summer
